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.”

it complies with the principle.
Board Composition
The Board bears the responsibility of overseeing and managing AFC, ensuring its performance and compliance with

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

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

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.

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

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

Compliance with recommendation during the year ended 31 March 2023:

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.

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

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 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.

Sale of goods - Contracts with customers
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.

Treasury shares are those shares acquired by the company from shareholders who exercised their minority
buy back rights at the time shares were issued to NZ Silveray Group Limited. These shares are held by the
company until the directors resolve to reissue the shares or to cancel the shares. At balance date, the
company held 37,082 treasury shares which were acquired during 2016.
No warrants were issued during the 2023 year (2022: $nil).
No dividends have been declared or paid for the year ended 31 March 2023 (2022: $nil).

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).

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.

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.
