4.0 Chairman’s letter
Now, I will read the following chairman’s letter.
“Dear Shareholders and Guests,
Good afternoon and welcome to you all.
The Board of Directors present the outcome for the financial year ending 31 March
2025. AFC Group Holdings Limited ("AFC" or "the Company”) failed to sustain the
positive momentum achieved in the prior fiscal period. The performance shortfall
primarily stemmed from a significant downturn in overseas wines sales due to
weakening demand from overseas, as well as slower than expected progress in new
business development. These operational challenges, coupled with an unfavourable
international trading environment and macroeconomic conditions, impacted the
Company’s financial performance during the period.
The Company reported revenues totalling $741,088 in the financial year 2025, a
decrease of 44% from last financial year. Driven by the substantial revenue reduction,
combined with the difficulty in adjusting fixed operating costs proportionately, the
Company incurred a net loss of $184,806 for this period, compared to a net profit of
$53,911 in financial year 2024. This financial setback has weakened the Company's
equity position, leaving net equity at $243,574. No dividends have been declared or
paid for the 12 months ended 31 March 2025.
As at 31 March 2025, the Company recorded a total asset of $2,129,822, including
cash and cash equivalents of $3,760. The Company will need to continue raise funds
to maintain business operations.
AFC is well aware of the high level of uncertainty in the market. Despite the challenges,
the Group has developed a series of actions to navigate through the current difficulties,
achieve future revenue growth and create value for shareholders:
• AFC Longview Limited (“AFCLV” and “Longview Estate”)
AFCLV is actively pursuing enhanced productivity and market presence. To extend
market reach and accelerate sales growth, AFCLV plans to expand its current product
line to make our wines more accessible to a wider audience. In addition, the company
endeavours to strengthen its overseas sales channels in order to increase sales in
China. Domestically, AFCLV is boosting customer engagement through targeted email
campaigns, social media activations, and participation in wine exhibitions.
• AFC Biotechnology Manufacture Co Ltd
To drive sales growth, the company will enhance distributor collaboration, refine
agency agreements, and extend its secondary distribution footprint.
• AFC Group Holdings Limited
AFC is actively exploring new business opportunities. Serving as a pivotal link for trade
and investment between New Zealand and China, the AFC has been actively involved
in international arenas. We participated in the 7th China International Import Expo and
the "EFOODLINE" global e-commerce platform, promoting our products and
facilitating the entry of SMEs from both countries to access wider international markets.
We remain dedicated to our corporate social responsibilities and improving the welfare
of communities across New Zealand and China.
Despite the challenges ahead, AFC will focus on aligning strategies and accelerating
operational execution to address market volatility and drive operational efficiency.
Our strategic priorities include expanding our market footprint, identifying new
opportunities for business growth, and enhancing operational efficiencies. The Board
remains optimistic that these focused efforts will enhance shareholder value and drive
our long-term growth objectives.
