CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board of Directors (“the Board”) and management of AFC Group Holdings Limited (“AFC”) recognise the need for

strong corporate governance practices and have adopted a comprehensive corporate governance code. The Board believes

that these governance structures and practices foster value creation for AFC shareholders, uphold the highest standards

of ethical conduct, and establish accountability and control systems in line with the associated risks.

Regular assessments and reviews of AFC's governance structures are conducted by the Board to ensure their consistency,

both in form and substance, with industry best practices. Given the current size of the company, AFC has limited

management personnel and resources. Therefore, there is a need to strike a balance between developing a financially

sustainable business and finalizing a formal governance framework. During the year ended 31 March 2023, the Board

prioritized addressing the key requirements of the NZX Listing Rules and the NZX Corporate Governance Code. However,

AFC has not achieved full compliance with all recommendations of the Code.

The Governance Code contains eight (8) principles and various recommendations for each principle. The Board has

reported on AFC’s compliance with each of the recommendations below. The information in this report is current as of

the date of this report and has been approved by the Board.

The NZX Corporate Governance Code was revised on 1 April 2023 after the Company’s financial year ended and the Board

has elected to report on the 17 June 2022 version of the NZX Corporate Governance Code.

The NZX Corporate Governance Code can be found on the NZX Website at: www.nzx.com/regulation/nzx-rules-

guidance/corporate-governance-code.

Principal 1 – Code of Ethical Behaviour

"Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold management accountable for

these standards being followed throughout the organisation."

RECOMMENDATION 1.1

The board should document minimum standards of ethical behaviour to which the issuer’s directors and employees are

expected to adhere (a code of ethics).

The code of ethics and where to find it should be communicated to the issuer’s employees. Training should be provided

regularly. The standards may be contained in a single policy document or more than one policy.

The code of ethics should outline internal reporting procedures for any breach of ethics and describe the issuer’s

expectations about behaviour, namely that every director and employee:

(a)acts honestly and with personal integrity in all actions;

(b)declares conflicts of interest and proactively advises of any potential conflicts;

(c)undertakes proper receipt and use of corporate information, assets and property;

(d)in the case of directors, gives proper attention to the matters before them;

(e)acts honestly and in the best interests of the issuer, shareholders and stakeholders and as required by law;

(f)adheres to any procedures around giving and receiving gifts (for example, where gifts are given that are of value in

order to influence employees and directors, such gifts should not be accepted);

(g)adheres to any procedures about whistle blowing (for example, where actions of a whistle blower have complied

with the issuer’s procedures, an issuer should protect and support them, whether or not action is taken); and

(h)manages breaches of the code

Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:

The Board holds a firm conviction that ethical conduct is of utmost importance for maintaining good corporate governance

and safeguarding the reputation of AFC. As such, the ethical principles that were applied by the board (and required of

Management and employees) were in line with the recommendations above.

AFC has adopted a Code of Ethics that complies with the recommendation in full. Employees are required to read the code

of ethics and the Code of Ethics has been published on AFC’s website at https://www.afcnz.com/.

PRINCIPLE 2 – Board Composition & Performance

perspectives.”

Board members have a wide range of business, technical and financial backgrounds lead the Company. The Board believes

it complies with the principle.

Board Composition

The Board bears the responsibility of overseeing and managing AFC, ensuring its performance and compliance with

relevant laws, regulations, and standards. The Board is accountable to shareholders and other stakeholders for AFC's

actions. AFC strives to provide shareholders with a competent and knowledgeable Board of Directors that possesses

diverse skills and expertise across various industries and disciplines.

security holder under the Governing Document applying with NZX listing rule 2.4.

Bo Xian Cao, Jianfeng Chen, Zilei Wang serve as independent directors for AFC. The determination of their independence

has been made by taking into account the factors outlined in the NZX Corporate Governance Code that could potentially

affect a director's independence. None of the independent directors have a material relationship with AFC and none are

involved in the day-to-day operation of the company.

Refer to the Directors’ Profiles section of this Annual Report for further details.

Board Meetings

The Board met 4 times during the year, which enabled the Board to be provided with accurate timely information on all

aspects of AFC’s operations and to make informed decisions.

Furthermore, the Board holds additional meetings as necessary to address specific matters that require immediate

attention, including discussions on various opportunities. The number of such additional meetings is not reflected in the

All of the information detailed in the recommendation is included in this Annual Report and can be found in the Directors

Profiles, Corporate Governance Statement and Shareholder and Statutory Information sections.

policy or a summary of it.


Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:


AFC has not complied with the recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023 as the company has not yet

implemented a formal written diversity policy. However, the Board acknowledges the extensive advantages that diversity

an issuer.

The company has not complied with the recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023, as the board did not

engage in any training activities. However, the Board members possess a comprehensive understanding of their

responsibilities as Directors of a publicly listed company. They have acknowledged the importance of staying updated on

the most effective ways to fulfil their duties and have plans to undergo training as needed to maintain their knowledge

and competence.


RECOMMENDATION 2.7

Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:

Director and Board performance is considered crucial to the success of AFC and its subsidiaries. AFC has not complied with

the recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023, as the company has not established a formal procedure for

regular review of its performance and the performance of its members.


The Board however intends to develop a formal procedure for the routine evaluation of its performance and the

performance of its members. This process will encompass an evaluation of the adequacy of the board's composition and

the identification of any training requirements for Directors. A draft of this procedure has been prepared, but its progress

is contingent upon the availability of management resources. The finalized document is expected to align with the

recommendation, and once it has been completed, it will be made publicly accessible on AFC's website.

3 of the 6 Directors of AFC have been identified as Independent Directors of AFC. However, it is not a majority and AFC

accordingly has not complied with the recommendation.

the best interests of the entity and its shareholders. In instances where a director has a conflict of interest concerning

certain matters, they are precluded from participating in decisions pertaining to those specific matters.

RECOMMENDATION 2.9

different people.

During the financial year ended 31 March 2023, Yang Xia was chair of AFC. Mr Xia was not an independent director, but

throughout that period, he was a non-executive director and did not involve in the day-to-day management. Given the

limited size and scope of the company’s business, the Deputy General Manager, Yanling Hu who resigned in August 2023

acted as a CEO. Starting in August 2023, AFC has been seeking a new CEO. As the chairman and CEO positions were held

by different individuals. Accordingly, AFC has complied with the recommendation.

responsibilities related to financial reporting and adherence to regulatory requirements. A written charter was adopted

All committees should operate under written charters. An issuer should identify the members of each of its committees,

and periodically report member attendance.

Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:

Considering the relatively restricted size and scope of the company’s business, the board determined that it would be more

suitable for them to assume these responsibilities throughout the year until March 31, 2023.

Recommendation 3.6

The board should establish appropriate protocols that set out the procedure to be followed if there is a takeover offer

for the issuer including any communication between insiders and the bidder. It should disclose the scope of independent

advisory reports to shareholders. These protocols should include the option of establishing an independent takeover

committee, and the likely composition and implementation of an independent takeover committee.

Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:

The company has not complied with the recommendation during the year to 31 March 2023, as AFC has not yet established

compliance with this recommendation. The completion of this framework is currently a priority for the Board.

Recommendation 6.2

An issuer should disclose how it manages its health and safety risks and should report on its health and safety risks,

performance and management.

Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:


The Board acknowledges that effective health and safety management is crucial to the operation of a successful business

and strives to prevent damage and promote the well-being of employees, contractors, and customers.


AFC has created a health and safety manual that outlines the management and employee responsibilities. Each employee

is provided with a copy of this manual, which serves to enhance their understanding of potential hazards and appropriate

courses of action.


The board conducts an annual review of the health and safety manual and actively seeks regular updates from

management regarding its implementation. No health and safety incidents have been reported during the year ended 31

March 2023.



PRINCIPLE 7 – Auditors

“The board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.”


Recommendation 7.1

The board should establish a framework for the issuer’s relationship with its external auditors. This should include

procedures:

(a) for sustaining communication with the issuer’s external auditors;

(b) to ensure that the ability of the external auditors to carry out their statutory audit role is not impaired or could be

reasonably be perceived to be impaired;

(c) to address what, if any, services (whether by type or level) other than their statutory audit roles may be provided by

the auditors to the issuer; and

(d) to provide for the monitoring and approval by the issuer’s audit committee of any service provided by the external

auditors to the issuer other than in their statutory audit role.


Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:


As per AFC's Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee holds the responsibility of overseeing and establishing

communication channels with the external auditor. Additionally, the committee conducts a review of the quality and cost

of the external auditor's work. On an annual basis, the Audit Committee also assesses the independence of the auditor.

The Audit Committee Charter sets forth the framework as specified in the recommendation.


William Buck was AFC's external auditor for the financial year ended 31 March 2023. The statutory audit services are fully

segregated from non-audit services in order to maintain the necessary independence. In the annotations to the

consolidated financial statements, the amount of fees paid to William Buck for audit and other services is disclosed.


William Buck has provided written confirmation to the Board, expressing their opinion that they were able to operate

independently throughout the entirety of the year.



Recommendation 7.2

The external auditor should attend the issuer’s Annual Meeting to answer questions from shareholders in relation to

the audit.


Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:


William Buck did not participate in the 16 September 2022 virtual annual meeting. However, William Buck will be invited

to attend the annual meeting in 2023, and it is expected that the lead audit partner will be present to address any queries

or concerns raised by shareholders.


Recommendation 7.3

Internal audit functions should be disclosed.

AFC GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT(continued)


AFC Group Holdings Limited Annual Report 2023

Page 15




Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:


AFC did not have a dedicated internal auditor role during the period to 31 March 2023. Given the relatively restricted size

and scope of AFC's operations, the Board and the Audit Committee assume responsibility for overseeing AFC's activities.

AFC and its subsidiaries have implemented internal systems and controls to monitor financial operations effectively.



Principle 8 – Shareholder Rights & Relations

“The board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster constructive relationships with shareholders that

encourage them to engage with the issuer.”


Recommendation 8.1

An issuer should have a website where investors and interested shareholders can access financial and operational

information and key corporate governance information about the issuer.


Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:


Financial statements, NZX announcements, Directors’ profiles, and key operational and governance information are

available on the website at https://afcnz.com/.


Recommendation 8.2

An issuer should allow investors the ability to easily communicate with the issuer, including providing the option to

receive communications from the issuer electronically.


Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:


All shareholders are given the option to elect to receive electronic communications from AFC.


Recommendation 8.3

Quoted equity security holders should have the right to vote on major decisions which may change the nature of the

AFC in which they are invested in.


Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:


Shareholders have been given the right to vote on all major decisions in line with the NZX Rules during the year ended 31

March 2023.


Recommendation 8.4

If seeking additional equity capital, issuers of quoted equity securities should offer further equity security holders of the

same class on a pro-rata basis and on no less favourable terms before further equity securities are offered to other

investors.


Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:


During the year, AFC has not sought additional equity capital from the market.


In future capital-raising activities, the Board will consider whether the likely outcome of and the cost of extending offers

to all shareholders is in the best interest of the Company or its shareholders. It is likely that the most cost-effective means

of raising further capital will be by way of wholesale placement rather than a regulated offer to all existing shareholders.

Recommendation 8.5

The board should ensure that the notices of annual or special meetings of quoted equity security holders is posted on

the issuer’s website as soon as possible and at least 20 working days prior to the meeting.

Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:

Notice of the 2022 annual meeting was delivered to shareholders on 16 August 2022, which was 20 working days prior to

the Annual Meeting.

The Board encourages shareholder participation in meetings and understands that shareholders need sufficient time to

consider information prior to meetings. Future notices of Shareholder meetings are expected to be provided at least 20

working days prior to meeting dates.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REPORTING ENTITY

1.1 Statement of compliance

1.2 Basis of preparation

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 and its ordinary shares are quoted on the NZX

main board equity security market (NZX main market) and the addresses of its registered office and principal place

of business are 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 March 2023 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 New Zealand and the

Chinese markets. The Group also operates in the winery and vineyard industry which has manufacturing

operations.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ GAAP. They comply with New 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. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS and IFRS requires the

use of certain critical accounting estimates and 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 where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial

statements are disclosed in note 1.23.

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 otherwise stated.

Fair value measurement

For financial reporting purposes, 'fair value' is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a

liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants (under current market conditions) at the

measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation

technique.

When estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the entity uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in

the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant

observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure

fair value are categorised into three levels according to the extent to which the inputs are observable:

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.2 Basis of preparation (continued)

1.3 New accounting standards adopted

1.4 Basis of consolidation

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 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.

There are no new standards, amendments to standards, or interpretations to existing standards, that have any

impact on the Group for the year ended 31 March 2023.

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.

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.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at

31 March 2023. 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 ability to

affect those returns through its power over the investee.

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity

can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or

liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Group incurred a net

loss for the year of $178,421 (2022: $738,425). At 31 March 2023, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its

current assets by $970,643 and had positive equity of $374,469 (2022: $552,890). The Group had suffered

reduced sales in previous years due to the Covid-19 pandemic and has taken steps manage the business

accordingly. In 2023, the loss narrowed significantly with sales increasing 1.7 times over last year. The Group

recorded a positive net cash inflow from operating activities of $61,663 in this year.

The key estimate in the budgets is the expected level of sales volumes of wine and cosmetic face masks.

In October 2022, a sales contract to sell $790,000 of wine was signed. The Group has completed 35% of the

supply. The balance will be completed in the following year. In FY2023, nearly $60,000 of wines were

exported to the China market. There will be other such expected exports in FY2024.

Sales of cosmetic face masks in New Zealand have been negatively affected by the closure of borders in

previous years. The re-opening of borders began to reverse the downward trend of domestic sales.

Meanwhile, the Group is considering new distribution channels.

Based on the current stages of negotiations with customers, the Directors are anticipating sales in FY2024

will continue to increase.

The key factors the Directors considered in determining that the Going Concern assumption was appropriate

There is minimal external debt and no externally imposed capital requirements.

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Group has reduced the fixed cost base of the business. This has

been achieved with the reduction in Directors fees and reduction in staff levels. The Group has outsourced its

inventory storage and integrated its office space, which significantly reduced the rental expenditure of

warehouse and other ancillary costs.

The Group has significant property at Longview vineyard which includes three residential housing units. This

property is unencumbered. The Directors consider that this property could be utilised to raise debt at low

rates from a major New Zealand bank if liquidity needs required it. They do not forecast that this will be

necessary in the foreseeable future.

The Group has considerable stocks of Finished Goods which will convert to positive cash inflows when

settled by sale, with little or no cash outflow required.

As disclosed in note 19 there are related party payables of $1,082,531. It has been agreed that payment of

these will be deferred until such time as the group has the liquidity to settle these liabilities.

Detailed budgets for the two operational segments have been prepared which supports the going concern

assumption.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of

recorded asset amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company not be able

to continue as a going concern.

The conditions noted above indicate the existence of a material uncertainty about the Group's ability to

continue as a going concern

Intangible assets comprise of trademarks. Trademarks are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

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.

Interest income

Government grant

1.8 Forei

gn currency

1.9 Inventories

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when the goods are delivered to the port of delivery and

have been accepted by the customer.

Rental

Rental Income is recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

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 in the

ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Group at exchange rates at the

dates of the transactions.

The Group generates revenue primarily from the sale of wine and DD masks to its customers. Other sources of

revenue include interest income and rental income.

For contracts that permit the customer to return an item, revenue is recognised to the extent that it is highly

probable that a significant reversal in the revenue recognised will not occur. The amount of revenue recognised is

adjusted for expected returns based on historical data and trends for returns. The Group reviews its estimate of

expected returns at each reporting date.

Grant income is recognised as revenue when it becomes receivable unless the Group has a liability to repay the

grant if the requirements of the grant are not fulfilled. A liability is recognized to the extent that such conditions are

unfulfilled at the end of the reporting period and is released to revenue as the conditions are fulfilled.

Interest income is accrued on a time apportioned basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the

effective 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.

The Group recognises revenue under NZ IFRS 15 when a customer obtains control of the goods. The Group

recognises revenue to depict the transfer of products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to

which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

1.9 Inventories (continued)

1.10 Leases

The Group as a lessee

Lease Liabilities

The Directors’ assessment of the value is determined after reviewing and comparing the market price 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 2023 was $257,263 (31 March

2022: $273,920).

Right-of-use assets

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right of use asset is measured at

cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made

at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and,

except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and

removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.

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 point of harvest becomes the basis 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 NZ IAS 41: Agriculture and NZ IFRS 13: Fair Value

Measurement. Any difference between cost and fair value is included within the statement of comprehensive

income as cost of sales.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated

useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset

at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of-use are subject to

impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases

with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to

profit or loss as incurred.

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the

present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate

implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease

payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend

on and index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase

option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties.

The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are

incurred.

Rental Income from operating leases is recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

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.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and cash in bank.

Trade, other and related party receivables are amounts due from customers and related parties in the ordinary

course of business. The Group holds the trade, other and related party receivables with the objective to collect the

contractual cash flows and therefore subsequently measures them at amortised cost using the effective interest

method.

Loans and receivables are also measured and classified at amortised cost using the effective interest method less

impairment. Interest is not charged on overdue amounts.

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.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are

remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in the index or a rate

used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease is

remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of-use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying

amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

The Group measures debt assets at amortised cost as the Group holds the financial assets for the collection of the

contractual cash flows, and the contractual cash flows under the instrument solely represent payments of principal

and interest. All other debt and equity instruments including investments in equity investments are recognised at

fair value.

1.16 Goods and services tax (“GST”)

1.17 Income tax

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.

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.

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.

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 recognised as an increase in

equity and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented within share premium.

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 consistent with the statement of

financial position classification of the related debt or equity instruments or component parts of compound

instruments.

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.

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.

Taxation expense comprises both current and deferred tax.

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:

Plant & Equipment

Biological assets consist of grape fruit bunches. The Group grows and purchases grapes to use in the production

of wine, as part of normal operations. Grapes are normally harvested between March and May each year. 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.

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 equipment are recognised in

the profit and loss component of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as incurred.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. In the event that settlement of

all or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by discounting the amounts payable in the

future to their present value as at the date of acquisition.

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.

Buildings

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment

losses.

1.20 Impairment of assets

Financial assets

Non-financial assets

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.

For trade, other and related party receivables, the group applies the NZ IFRS 9 simplified approach in measuring

expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.

The Group also considers other forward looking economic factors in determining the impairment of trade, other

and related party receivables.

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 that reflects 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.

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.

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 impairment loss is

reversed through profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is

reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

All impairment losses are immediately recognised through profit and loss.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be 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.

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.

The following are the definitions used in the consolidated statement of cash flows:

1.23 Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Impairment of trade, other and related party receivables

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.

Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted

average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which

comprises of warrants.

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.

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 the impairment of trade, other and related party receivables provision, the Group assesses the

balances by applying the expected loss and forward looking approach under NZ IFRS 9. This assessment involves

making estimates and judgements regarding the historical data and trends, factors such as economic conditions,

external ratings, cash flow projections and other information available that impacts the customers of the Group.

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.

- 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 ris

k 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.

- Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets not included in cash and cash

equivalents.

- Financing activities are activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the contributed equity and

borrowings of the Group.

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 of factors 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.

In determining whether an item of property, plant and equipment is impaired, the Group applies NZ IAS 36

Impairment of Assets. This assessment involves the review of the carrying amount of its assets or cash-generating

unit and if this exceeds the recoverable amount. This assessment involves estimating the value in use of an asset

and estimating the future cash inflows and outflows to be derived from the continued use of the asset and its

disposal and applying an appropriate discount rate to those future cash flows.

The Group has not recognised a deferred tax asset (2022: No deferred tax asset recognised) on its statement of

financial position as at reporting date. Significant judgement is required in determining if the 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 is considered

to determine the availability of the losses to offset against the future taxable profits (refer note 4).

The Group has not recognised the deferred tax asset of $1,586,324 on its Statement of Financial Position as

at reporting date as the Group has determined that the utilisation of deferred tax assets is not probable. In

deciding whether to recognise the deferred tax assets, the Group also considers 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.

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).

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 not be sufficient

taxable income with which to utilise the asset based on the forecasts provided.

Charge for the financial year

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 assets that are

not impaired or past due for each of the reporting dates under review are of good credit quality. The directors

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 expected losses in respect

of trade and related party receivables.

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 19.

Prepayment of inventory is required to secure the production of specific inventory items produced to the

Group's specification.

Closing provision for closing stock

Inventory of $257,263 has been expensed and written down to net realisable value/lower of cost (2022:

$273,920).

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 fair value of agricultural produce as at the point of harvest was $4,490 (2022: $6,725).

The

related party advances with NZ Silveray Group Limited, Hao Long and E Way Holdings Group Limited

are interest bearing advances with interest being charged at 10.08% per annum for outstanding amounts.

The advance with Anhui Asin International Trade Co. Limited is non-interest bearing.

The normal trade credit terms granted to the Group range from 30 to 90 days. The trade creditors are

unsecured and non-interest bearing. The carrying amount disclosed above is a reasonable approximation of

fair value. Refer to note 19 for related parties.

The carrying amount of the borrowings is considered to be a reasonable approximation of the fair value.

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently

measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (plus transaction costs) and the

redemption amount is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the

effective interest method. The Small business cashflow loans are classified as non-current liabilities as the

Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability 12 months after the balance sheet date.

The Small Business Cash flow (Loan) Scheme (SBCS) has been introduced to support businesses impacted

by Covid-19. The Group have received loans of $53,400 on 8 September 2020 and $29,000 on 7 June 2022

with the final repayment date being five years after the receipt. The loans are subject to an annual interest

rate of 3% from the date the loan is made available. Interest will not be charged if the loan is fully repaid

within 2 years.

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

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 provides 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.

As the Group does not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying

amount of the financial assets as at the end of the reporting period.

The Group's concentrations of credit risk relate to two balances owing as at balance date. One (1) amount is

owing from a customer which constituted approximately 76% of its total trade receivables as at the end of the

reporting period and balance is owing by one (2) related party customer which constitutes the remaining 24%

of total trade receivables as at the end of the report period. (2022: 23% of the total trade receivables and

related party receivables related to one of the Groups' related party customers).

New Zealand

The capital structure of the Group consists of equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising of

issued capital and retained earnings. The Group's capital includes shares net of accumulated losses with

total shareholders' funds equal to $374,469 (2022: $552,890). The related party advances of $732,622 (2022:

$722,872 ) included in the Group's capital structure are disclosed in note 19. As there is no collateral over the

related party advances, the maximum exposure is represented by the carrying amount of the payables as at

the end of the reporting period.

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.

Expected credit loss assessment as at 1 April 2022 and 31 March 2023

Interest rate risk

Liquidity risk

Interest rate risk is where the risk of loss to the Group from adverse changes in interest rates. The Group

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 exposure to interest rate risk is minimal as the interest‐bearing financial instruments carry fixed

interest rates and are measured at amortised cost. As such, sensitivity analysis is not disclosed.

The Group has recognised impairment losses on trade, other and related party receivables of $8 (2022: $6)

based on the expected loss model assessment under NZ IFRS 9.

This includes assessing and allocating expected loss rates based on historical data and trends using loss

rates that are calculated using actual credit losses experienced for the 2021 and 2022 years. These rates are

also adjusted for factors such as economic conditions, external ratings, cash flow projections and other

information available that impacts the customers of the Group. The Group has used unemployment rates and

inflation rates for the assessment and calculation of the expected loss.

The Group has also assessed and included specific expected losses amounts relating to specific customers

where there are indications that the customer is not expected to be able to pay their outstanding balances.

Liquidity risk arises mainly from general funding and business activities. The Group practices prudent risk

management by maintaining sufficient cash balances and the availabilityof funding through certain committed

credit facilities.

The Group believe that no further impairment allowance is necessary in respect of trade and related party

receivables. They are substantial companies with good track records. 37% (2022: 25%) of the receivables

that are past due relate to amounts owing by one (2) related party and the balance of 63% of the receivables

that are past due relate to one customer.

AFC Group Holdings Limited

Independent auditor’s report to the Shareholders

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 2023, 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, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated

financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2023, 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 Opinion

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 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International

Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and

the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants

(including International Independence Standards) (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 its

subsidiaries.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1.6 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a net

loss of $178,421 during the year ended 31 March 2023 and, as of that date, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its

current assets by $970,643. As stated in Note 1.6. these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in

Note 1.6, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as

a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

| 66
Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the

financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial

statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined

the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be determined in our report.

Area of focus How our audit addressed it

Inventory

The Group holds inventory of work in progress and

finished goods with a net book value of $314,725 as

disclosed in Note 11. This represents 17% of total

assets.

The valuation of these assets has a direct impact on the

Comprehensive Income of the Group which is the

reason why we have given specific audit focus and

attention to this area.

Our audit procedures included:

— Understanding the system of processing inventory transactions

— Attended physical inventory counts on or around balance date

— Completed detailed substantive testing of the costing of inventory

— Tested that inventory at the reporting date is stated at the lower of

Cost or Net Realisable Value by testing a selection of inventory

items to the most recent sales price less costs to sell

— Assessing the appropriateness of the Group’s provision for

inventory based on sales history and the Group’s forecasts and

considering the level of sales in the period between the reporting

date and the time of approving the financial statements

— Ensured appropriate disclosure has been included in the financial

statements

Property, Plant & Equipment

The Group owns property, plant & equipment with a net

book value of $1,397,148 as disclosed in Note 12. This

represents 74% of total assets.

The valuation of these assets has a significant impact on

the equity of the Group which is the reason why we

have given specific audit focus and attention to this

area.

Our audit procedures included:

— Understanding the recording process for tracking fixed assets

— Selected a sample of fixed assets and ensured the assets

existed, were in good order and remained in operational use

— Reviewed the process for assessing asset impairment and

ensured any impaired assets were appropriately provided for

— Reviewed recent valuations for land and building assets to ensure

there is no evidence of impairment in value

— Reviewed depreciation rates and calculations

— Ensured appropriate disclosure has been included in the financial

statements

| 
Directors’ Responsibilities

The directors are responsible on behalf of the Group 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 Michael Wood.

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.
