DIRECTORS' REPORT
During the 2018 financial year, not only did AFC Group continue its normal business operations but also
achieved comprehensive and consistent development.
AFC Group Holdings Ltd has achieved remarkable results in all the operating segments of the Group. AFC
Group Holdings Ltd has combined the advantages of resource integration in the capital market inChina and
New Zealand. This has been achieved through the Group’s complementary insights of the business resources
and markets of the New Zealand and China business environment. After more than two year’s development,
the Group has laid the foundation of self-development in the food processing, wine industry, trade logistics,
biotechnology, cross-border e-commerce and other sectors. The Group has also played a role inpromoting
China-New Zealand economic and trade exchanges and non-governmental exchanges.
Under the leadership of managers at all levels within the group, all employees in China and New Zealand were
committed and motivated during the year. The Group made PAYE payments of NZ$160 thousand, which is an
increase of 45% from last year’s PAYE paid of NZ$110 thousand. The Group has offered and provided a total
of 40 employment positions in the market, which is an increase of 200% from last year.
For 2018, AFC Group has achieved sales revenue of NZ$6,600 thousand. The Group experienced a net loss of
NZ$473 thousand for the year, which is NZ$851 thousand less than the loss incurred in the 2017 year. AFC

procedures covering all aspects and levels of the organisation. AFC Biotechnology Manufacture Co Ltd has
successfully and smoothly continued production since the beginning of the year's trial operation. Theproduction
capacity has reached the ideal state during continuous debugging and learning. The popularity ofthe high-
quality DD Mask continues to increase under the brand promotion of China and New Zealand. AFC

Longview Ltd include premium, medium and low wines. The Longview flagship of White diamond sweet white

others. In general, there is a qualitative leap in the Group’s systems and management, brand building and
publicity, work production and financial processes, staffing, managerial level, and employee awareness.

1.1Statement of compliance
1.2 Basis of preparation
1.3 New accounting standards adopted
1.4New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been approved but arenot yet
effective and have not been adopted by the Group for the year ended 31 March 2018. These will be applied when they
become mandatory.
AFC Group Holdings Limited (the “Company”) is a company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand and
registered under the Companies Act 1993. The Company is listed on the Alternative Market of the New Zealand Stock
Exchange (“NZAX”) and the addresses of its registered office and principal place of businessare disclosed in the
Corporate Information section of this report. The Company is an FMC Reporting Entity under the Financial Markets
Conduct Act 2013 and its financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1993 and the Financial Markets
Conduct Act 2013.
The consolidated financial statements of AFC Group Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 March2018 comprise
the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). For the purposes of complying with generally
accepted accounting practice in New Zealand ("NZ GAAP"), the Group is a for-profit entity. As a listed company, the
Group is considered a Tier One entity. The principal activity of the Company and the Group is to produce,
manufacture and purchase food, health, and cosmetic products for distribution in the New Zealand, China and Hong

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ GAAP. They comply withNew Zealand
equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards("NZ
IFRS"), as applicable to the Group as a profit oriented entity. These financial statements also comply with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
The consolidated financial statements were approved and authorised for issue by the directors on _______________.
The directors are not able to amend the financial statements after issue.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a cost basis except for biological produce which has been
measured at fair value and financial assets which are carried at amortised cost. The preparationof financial
statements in conformity with NZ IFRS and IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimatesand
assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the group’s accounting
policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas whereassumptions and estimates
are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 1.24.
The consolidated financial statements for the Group are presented in New Zealand dollars ($), which is the functional
currency of all entities within the Group. All financial information has been rounded to the nearest dollar unless

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2018
1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.4New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted (continued)
NZ IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers – applicable to the Group from 1 April 2018
NZ IFRS 9 (2014): Financial Instruments – applicable to the Group from 1 April 2018
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued the completed version of IFRS 9: Financial Instruments
(to replace NZ IAS 39: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement), bringing together theclassification and
measurement, impairment and hedge accounting phases of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39: Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9.
Impact: Financial assets and liabilities of the Group are measured at amortised cost with the exception of any foreign
currency forward exchange contracts and options or interest rate swaps which are held atfair value. The classification
and measurement of these will remain the same under NZ IFRS 9. However, for those financialliabilities held at fair
value, the Group will be required to separate the fair value movement that relates to changes in the Group’scredit risk
and record this through Other Comprehensive Income rather than through profit or loss where the remaining change
in value will be recorded. The impairment model in the standard also moves from the previous“incurred loss” model
to an “expected loss” model. Management has assessed the impact of NZIFRS 9 and the main areaof potential
impact is impairment provisioning on trade receivables due to the requirement to use a "expected loss" model. It is
considered that the adoption of NZ IFRS 9 may result in an increase in the Group's provision for doubtful debts
depending on other external factors that will be considered for the forward-looking approach.
NZ IFRS 15 establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature,
amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contractswith customers. NZ IFRS
15 supersedes NZ IAS 18 Revenue. The core principle of NZ IFRS 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict
the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects theconsideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. An entity will recognise revenue in accordance
with that core principle by applying the following steps: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer; Step 2: Identify
the performance obligations in the contract; Step 3: Determine the transaction price;Step 4: Allocate the transaction
price to the performance obligations within the contract; Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a
performance obligation.
There has been an amendment to NZ IFRS 15 which clarifies how to: (a) Identify a performance obligation in a
contract; (b) Determine whether an entity is a principal or an agent, and; (c) Determine whetherrevenue from granting
a licence should be recognised at a point in time or over time. The amendment also provides additional relief to
reduce cost and complexity for an entity when it first applies NZ IFRS 15.
Impact: Management have reviewed the new standard and related guidance and considered the core principle and
steps required to recognise revenue. The Group has performed an assessment of the impact of the changes in NZ
IFRS 15 and does not expect the recognition and measurement of revenue to materially change under the new
standard. The Group's contracts with customers is for the supply of products and revenue is recognised ata point in
time when the sale is completed. The Group does not have any additional performance obligations under these
contracts that would need to be spread over a longer term. For 2018, the Group has assessed that no adjustments
would be required on adopting the standard or recognising revenue in the future.
NZ IFRS 16: Leases – applicable to the Group from 1 April 2019
IFRS 16 requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model (subject to certain
exemptions) in a similar way to finance leases under IAS 17: Leases. Lessees will be required to recognise a liability
to pay rentals with a corresponding asset, and recognise interest expense and depreciation separately.
Reassessment of certain key considerations (e.g. lease term, variable rents based on an index or rate, discount rate)
by the lessee is required upon certain events. Lessor accounting is substantially the same as lessor accounting under
IAS 17’s dual classification approach.

1.5Basis of consolidation
1.6Intangible assets and goodwill
Intangible assets comprise goodwill and acquired brands, trademarks and distribution right asset. Goodwill and
brands are indefinite life intangibles subject to annual impairment testing. Brands are not amortised but are tested for
impairment annually and are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share ofthe identifiable
net assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortised but itis tested for impairment
annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carriedat
cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include thecarrying amount
of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at 31
March 2018. Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Group has control. Control is achieved when the Group is
exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the abilityto affect those
returns through its power over the investee.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant
facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
- The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
- Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
- The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income ("OCI") are attributed to the equity holders
of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling
interests having a deficit balance. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period
as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities,equity, income, expenses
and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are
changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of an investee begins when the Group obtains
control over the investee and ceases when the Group loses control of the investee. Assets, liabilities, income and
expenses of an investee acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive
income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the investee.
Impact: The Group currently has the operating lease commitments as disclosed under note 19,which will fall under
NZ IFRS 16. The Group has assessed the impact of the changes in NZ IFRS 16 on its accounting policyfor the
recognition of leases. The Group will be required to recognise a ‘Right-of-use Asset’ and acorresponding ‘Finance
Liability’ in the statement of financial position for all of the leases. The change will also affect the profile of expenses
(interest and depreciation) and the timing of these expenses relative to the lease payments whichare currently
recognised. Based on the operating lease commitments as at 31 March 2018, the Group will have a 'Right of use
Asset' of $1,217,346 and a corresponding 'Finance Liability' of $1,217,346 to recognise as at 1 April 2019.
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the Group. For
purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share
acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the investee is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-
controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

Interest income
- Bearing in mind past losses, the Group has restructured its business operations and forecasts for profits to June
2019.
Interest income is accrued on a time apportioned basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at theeffective
interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected
life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount.
Trademarks are also tested for impairment annually and are carried at cost less any accumulatedamortisation and
impairment losses. Trademarks have a finite useful life of 10 years and the Group amortises these using the straight-
line method over 10 years. Trademarks are recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated
amortisation.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those
cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination
in which the goodwill arose. The units or groups of units are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is
monitored for internal management purposes, being the operating segments.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the
revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria mustalso be met before revenue is
recognised:
Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the
buyer and the revenue can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards are considered passedto the buyer at the time of
delivery of the goods to the customer or at the free on board port/delivery point or as otherwise contractually
determined.
- The Directors have forecasts that indicate the Group can manage its working capital requirements and trade
levels for at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements.
- All amounts receivable from trade receivables will be received as per customer agreements and repayment terms.
As at 31 March 2018, the Group is in a positive working capital position of $2,799,495 (2017: $2,826,288) and net
equity of $4,713,867 (2017: $4,986,689). The Group did not raise any equity funding during the year(2017:
$3,138,668) from share placements. The Directors consider that using the going concern basis is appropriate having
reviewed cash flow projections of the Group to June 2019 based on a number of key assumptions and Director’s
intentions including:
- The Group has no external debt and is therefore not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Management has reasonable
expectation that the Group had adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Distribution right asset is amortised on the straight line basis over the life of the agreement and is also tested for
impairment annually. The distribution right asset is recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less
accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses.

1.11Leases – Operating leases
The Group as lessee
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the
functional currency at the exchange rate at the date. The foreign currency gains or loss on monetary items is the
difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective
interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at
the end of year.
The valuation of inventory is determined under the principle of lower of cost or net realisable value. The cost of
inventories is based on the first in first out principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and
bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price inthe ordinary
course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
Rental Income
Rental Income is recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Included within the cost of inventory is the fair value of the grapes (agricultural produce) at the time the grapes are
harvested. At the point of harvest, the harvest of grapes qualify as agricultural produce under NZ IAS 41: Agriculture
and are recorded at fair value at that date. The fair value at balance date becomes thebasis of cost when accounting
for inventories.
Growing Costs : Harvesting of the grape crop is ordinarily performed in late March. Costs incurred in growing the
grapes including any applicable harvest costs, are initially allocated into the cost of inventory as part of the total cost to
acquire and grow the agricultural produce. At the point of harvest, a fair value adjustment is made so that the cost per
tonne is adjusted to fair value in accordance with NZIAS 41: Agriculture and NZIFRS 13 : Fair Value Measurement.
Any difference between cost and fair value is included within the statement of comprehensive income as cost of sales.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Groupat exchange rates at the
dates of the transactions.
Leases in which significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor areclassified as
operating leases.
Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period
of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss in a straight-line basis over the lease term as
an integral part of the total lease expense.
The Directors’ assessment of the value is determined after reviewing and comparing the marketprice with the cost
and as a result of this, the carrying value of some inventories have been written down to estimated net realisable
value. The total amount of the provision written off to profit or loss at 31 March 2018 was $124,885 (31 March 2017:
$241,374).

Trade and other receivables, and related party receivables have fixed or determinable payments that are notquoted in
an active market and are classified as ‘loans and receivables’.
Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest methodless impairment. Interest is
not charged on overdue amounts.
Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the
proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transactions costs are the costs that are incurred directly
in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which would not have been incurred had those
instruments not been issued.
Share capital is classified as equity when the amount represents a residual interest. Incremental costs directly
attributable to the issue of new shares or warrants are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and cash in bank.
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs and are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Interest and dividends are classified as expenses or as distributions of profit consistentwith the statement of financial
position classification of the related debt or equity instruments or component parts of compound instruments.
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently carried at
amortised cost and due to their short term nature they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and
services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group
becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave
when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably. Provisions made
in respect of employee benefits are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply
at the time of settlement.
Rental Income from operating leases is recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Subsequent costs
Taxation expense comprises both current and deferred tax.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the financial year, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Income tax is recognised in the Income Statement except when it relates to items that are recognised directly under
other comprehensive income, in which case the income tax is recognised in other comprehensive income.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the
carrying values of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of these items.
Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and regulations enacted at the balance sheet date in New Zealand, which
is the jurisdiction the Group operates and generates taxable income in.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available
against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised.
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and anyimpairment
losses.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. In the event thatsettlement of all
or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by discountingthe amounts payable in the future
to their present value as at the date of acquisition.
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item
if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be
measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipmentare recognised in the profit
and loss component of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as incurred.
When shares recognised as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly
attributable costs is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares.
When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognisedas an increase in equity
and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented within share premium.
Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax(GST), except
for receivables and payables, which are recognised inclusive of GST.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate
items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Financial assets
Biological assets consist of grape fruit bunches. The Group grows and purchases grapesto use in the production of
wine, as part of normal operations. Grapes are normally harvested between March and May eachyear. The grapes
harvested and purchased are adjusted to fair value at the point of harvest after taking into consideration of various
market factors, as well as reviewing the district average pricing report for grapes of similar quality and variety. Any
adjustment to bring the cost of sales to fair value is recognised in inventory and cost of sales.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the
exception of loan and trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance
account.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is
greater than its estimated recoverable amount. The useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually.
Depreciation is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income to write off the cost of an item of
property, plant and equipment over its expected useful life, at the following rates:
Computer Equipment
Leasehold Improvements
Plant & Equipment
Land & Land Improvements
Buildings
Grape Vines / Bearer Plants
not depreciated
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence, that as a result of one or more events that occurred
after the initial recognition of the financial assets, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been
impacted.
Motor Vehicles
Fixture and Fittings and Office Equipment
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or
losses are included in the profit and loss component of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively
to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairmentloss is reversed
through profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date theimpairment is reversed does
not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of
amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the
allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.

The following are the definitions used in the consolidated statement of cash flows:
1.24 Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The Group prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS, the application of which often
requires judgements to be made by management when formulating the Group’s financial position and results. Under
NZ IFRS, the Directors are required to adopt those accounting policies most appropriate to the Group’s circumstances
for the purpose of presenting a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position, financial performance and cash
flows.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholdersand the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which
comprises of warrants.
Cash and cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of
cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Operating activities are the principal revenue-producing activities of the Group and other activities that are not
investing or financing activities.
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated
by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Financing activities are activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the contributed equity and
borrowings of the Group.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount rate thatreflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future
cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated tobe less than its carrying
amount, the carrying value is reduced to the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss
immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as
a revaluation decrease.
Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets not included in cash and cash equivalents.
At each reporting date the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such impairment exists, the
recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to establish the impairment loss, (if any). Goodwill is tested for
impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired an adjustment is made andis
not subsequently reversed.
All impairment losses are immediately recognised through profit and loss.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. In particular, information
about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the
most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in more detail below.
In determining and applying accounting policies, judgement is often required in respect of items where the choice of
specific policy, accounting estimate or assumption to be followed could materially affect the reported results or net
asset position of the Group should it later be determined that a different choice would be more appropriate.
The Group's assessment of provisions for inventory obsolescence and net realisable value involves making estimates
and judgements in relation to future selling prices. The Group considers a wide range offactors including historical
data, current trends, recent sales data and product information from buyers as part of the process to determine the
appropriate value of these provisions.
For the provision for doubtful debts, trade receivables are assessed to determine whether there is anyobjective
evidence that an impairment has been incurred but not yet identified. This assessment involves making estimates and
judgements regarding the collectability of trade receivables and includes considering evidence such as significant
financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy and the default or delay in payments
being made to the Group.
The Group has not recognised a deferred tax asset (2017: had not recognised a deferred tax asset) onits statement
of financial position as at reporting date. Significant judgement is required in determining ifthe utilisation of deferred
assets is probable. The recognition of deferred tax assets is based upon whether it is more likely than not that
sufficient and suitable taxable profits will be available in the future against which the reversal of temporary differences
can be deducted. To determine the future taxable profits, reference is made to the latest forecasts of future earnings
of the Group. Where the temporary differences are related to losses, relevant tax law isconsidered to determine the
availability of the losses to offset against the future taxable profits (refer note 4).
The carrying value of intangible assets is assessed at least annually to ensure that it is not impaired. Performing this
assessment generally requires management to estimate future cash flows to be generated by the relevant investment
or cash-generating unit, which entails making judgements, including the expected rate of growth of revenues, margins
expected to be achieved and the appropriate discount rate to apply when valuing future cash flows (refer note 14).

Profit / (Loss) before income tax has been determined after charging:
The Group had a loan from NZ Silveray Limited for the deferred consideration of theNDG Distribution Right
Asset (Note 14) with a balance of $276,991 as at 30 September 2017. NZ Silveray Limited agreed to write-off
and forgive the amount outstanding in September 2017 and this resulted in income for the gainon forgiveness
of debt of $276,991 for the year ended 31 March 2018 (2017: $nil).
Due to a change in circumstances and the distribution agreement ceasing, the Group issueda credit note to
Guangdong Farmside International Trading Co. Limited (formerly known as Guangdong Farmside Dairy
Development Limited) in September 2017. The total for the credit note issued was $200,000 and this related to
the monthly distribution fees revenue recognised in both the 2017 and 2018 year (from October 2016 to 30
September 2017).

The above amounts are tax effected balances. Obtaining the benefits of the deferred tax assets is dependent
upon deriving sufficient assessable income and the Group have assessed that there will be sufficient taxable
income with which to utilise the asset based on the forecasts provided.
Losses can be carried forward indefinitely under New Zealand tax law (assuming shareholder continuity
requirements are met and approval of the Inland Revenue Department is obtained). Losses incurred prior to
the change in shareholder control in 2016 were forfeited at the time the shareholding changed and are
therefore not available for future use.
The earnings and weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per
share are as follows:
The Group has not recognised the deferred tax asset of $366,814 on its Statement of Financial Position as at
reporting date. In deciding whether to recognise the deferred tax assets, the Group has determined if the
utilisation of deferred assets is probable and whether it is likely that sufficient and suitable taxable profits will
be available in the future against which the reversal of temporary differences can be deducted.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value. Cash at bank earns interest
at floating rates on daily deposit balances.
Increase in provision
Trade debtors are non-interest bearing and receipt is normally on 30 days terms. Related party receivables
are non-interest bearing and repayable on demand as disclosed in note 18.
The directors consider that there is no material difference between the carrying value and fair value of trade
debtors and related party receivables. The Group's management considers that all financial assetsthat are
not impaired or past due for each of the reporting dates under review are of good credit quality. Thedirectors
also consider that the receivables that are past due and not impaired are fully recoverable.
The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect
of trade and related party receivables. The main component of this allowance is a specific loss component
that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups of
similar assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified. The collective loss allowance
is determined based on historical data of payment statistics for similar financial assets.

The fair value of agricultural produce as at the point of harvest was $27,219 (2017: $35,316).A fair value
loss of $194,213 (2017: $126,375) was recorded during the year within cost of sales.
Reversal of opening provision for inventory
Inventory of $124,885 has been expensed and written down to net realisable value/lower of cost (31 March
2017: $241,374). There were reversals of $241,374 for the provision for stock during the year (2017:$nil). For
2017, a provision of $105,368 was inlcuded for DD masks that were expected to be given away as samples.
These mask were sold during 2018 and a provision for these stock items is no longer required.
Assessing write downs for inventory obsolescence and net realisable value involves making estimates and
judgements in relation to future selling prices between the most recent store stock counts and reporting date.

The Company grows grapes to use in the production of wine, as part of normal operations. Vineyards are
located in Whangarei, New Zealand. Grapes are harvested between March and May each year.
During the year ended 31 March 2018, the Group harvested grapes equal to 13,050 litres of wine (2017:
13,345 litres). Of this amount the Company purchased 4,700 litres from independent third party growers.The
grapes harvested are adjusted to fair value at the point of harvest and any adjustment to bring thecost of
sales to fair value is recognised in inventory and cost of sales.
The Group is exposed to financial risks in respect of agricultural activity. The agricultural activity of the
Company consists of the management of vineyards to produce grapes for use in the productionof wine. The
primary financial risk associated with this activity occurs due to the length of time between expending cash
on the purchase or planting and maintenance of grape vines and on harvesting grapes, and ultimately
receiving cash from the sale of wine to third parties. The Company's strategy to manage thisfinancial risk is
to actively review and manage its working capital requirements. The quality and quantity of the grape harvest
is dependent on seasonal climatic factors such as rainfall, sunshine and temperature, including frosts.

The amortisation charge of $75,992 and impairment charge of $92,416 are recognised under administration
expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
The normal trade credit terms granted to the Group range from 30 to 90 days. The trade creditorsare
unsecured and non-interest bearing. The carrying amount disclosed above is a reasonable approximation of
fair value.
The value of the acquired brand that was acquired as part of the Longview Estate was determined by Grant
Thornton, Chartered Accountants under the relief of royalty method at the time of acquisition 1 March 2016.
A royalty base was determined by reference to the amount for which the asset would be acquired inan arm's
length transaction securing the same rights, net of any cost to maintain the asset. The fair value was the net
present value of theoretical royalties that was calculated by applying a royalty rate to the royalty base.
Goodwill on acquisition was calculated after comparing the net assets acquired at fair value to the

The Board reviews the Group's capital structure regularly. The capital of the Group is monitored to ensure
equity holder objectives are met, the primary of which is to ensure the Group's continued ability to provide a
consistent return to its equity shareholders through a combinations of capital growth and distributions. The
Group manages its capital to ensure the entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns.
Financial instruments which potentially are subject to credit risk principally relate to bank accounts, loans
receivable, trade receivables and other receivables. The Group's exposure to credit risk arises from potential
default of the counterparty. The bank accounts are placed with high credit quality financial institutions. The
Company performs credit evaluations on all customers requiring advances. The Company generally requires
collateral or other security to support loans advanced. The board and management on a regular basis assess
all receivables.
The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect
of the trade and other receivables as appropriate. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss
component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss componentestablished for
groups of similar assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified. Impairment is
estimated by management based on prior experience and the current economic environment.
The Group's major concentrations of credit risk relate to the amounts owing by three (3)related party
customers which constituted approximately 65% of its total trade receivables as at the end of the reporting
period. (2017: 57% of the total trade receivables and related party receivables related to twoof the Groups'
related party customers).
The values in the statement of financial position are also the maximum credit risk exposure.

The following table sets out the maturity profile of the financial liabilities as at the end of the reporting period
based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payment computed using contractual rates
or, if floating, based on the rate at the end of the reporting period):
The Group has included a provision for impairment losses $35,085 for the year ended 31 March2018. The
Group believes that no further impairment allowance is necessary in respect of the trade and related party
receivables. They are substantial companies with good track record. 65% (2017: 84.9%)of the receivables
that are past the due date relate to amounts owing by three (3) related parties. A significant portionof trade
receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are regular customers that have been transacting with the
Group. The Group uses ageing analysis and setting credit terms for different customers to monitor the credit
quality of the trade receivables.
Interest rate risk is where the risk of loss to the Group from adverse changes in interest rates. TheGroup
exposure to interest rate changes that can affect the performance of the operation relates primarily to
changes in fixed rates at the time term loans are renegotiated.
The Group is not exposed to interest rate risk as the interest
-bearing financial instruments carry fixed interest
rates and are measured at amortised cost. As such, sensitivity analysis is not disclosed.
Liquidity risk arises mainly from general funding and business activities. The Group practicesprudent risk
management by maintaining sufficient cash balances and the availability of funding throughcertain committed
credit facilities.

AFC Group Holdings Limited Annual Report 2018

AFC Group Holdings Limited
Independent auditor’s report to the Shareholders
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial
Statements
Qualified Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of AFC Group Holdings Limited
and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial
position as at 31 March 2018, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income,
consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for
the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, except for the matter expressed in the Basis for Qualfiied Opinion section of
our report, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of
the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2018, and of its
consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then
ended in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting
Standards (NZ IFRS).
Basis for Qualfiied Opinion
The prior year financial statements were audited by another auditor who expressed a
disclaimer of opinion on those consolidated financial statements. We have been unable to
obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence that inventory was correctly recorded at
31 March 2017. As a result of this matter, we were unable to determine whether any
adjustments might have been necessary in respect of inventories at 31 March 2017, and
the resultant impact Cost of Sales for the year ended 31 March 2018.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New
Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in
the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional
and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the
New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics
Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA
Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, AFC
Group Holdings Limited or any of its subsidiaries.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
OPENING BALANCES
Area of focus How our audit addressed it
The prior year financial statements were audited
by another auditor who expressed a disclaimer
of opinion on those consolidated financial
statements.
Our audit procedures included:
—
Completing detailed audit procedures over
the balances recorded at 31 March 2017;
which included the a significant level of
testing of events subsequent to 31 March
2017 to validate if the opening balances
were correctly recorded
— Review of the working papers of the
previous auditor
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Area of focus How our audit addressed it
The Group earns revenue from multiple
business activities. These need to be correctly
regonised in accordance with NZ IAS 18
Revenue.
Our audit procedures included:
—
Understanding the system of processing
transactions for the different business
activities
— Complete detailed substantive testing of key
transactions, and transactions around the
reporting date
— Review of transactions after the reporting
date
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Area of focus How our audit addressed it
The Group has had a significant volume of
related party transactions.
Our audit procedures included:
—
Identify all related parties of the Group
— Substantively test key related party
transactions by examination of supporting
documentation and obtained confirmations
—
Review and test related party transactions
to determine if in line with the terms agreed;
and consider where relevant market prices
—

Other Matter

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report
Thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information in the Annual Report. The other information
comprises the Directors Profiles, Directors Report, Corporate Governance Statement, Summary Discription
of Key Business Activites, Shareholder and Statutroy Information included in the Annual report, but does
not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this
regard.
Directors’ Responsibilities
The directors are responsible on behalf of the entity for the preparation of consolidated financial statements
that give a true and fair view in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the
preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as
a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
consolidated financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these financial statements is located at the
External Reporting Board (XRB) website at:
https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/
This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report.
The engagement director on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Darren Wright.
Restriction on Distribution and Use
This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken
so that we might state to the Company’s shareholders those matters which we are required to state to them
in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or
assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s shareholders, as a body, for
our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.
