("Asia Wealth" or the "Company")
AUDITED RESULTS
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEARED 29 FEBRUARY 2016
The Board is pleased to report the Audited Results of Asia Wealth Group
Holdings Limited for the Financial Year from 1 March 2015 to 29 February 2016.
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the ISDX Rules and contain
an audit opinion which is qualified only in respect of the possible effects of
the Group's investment in Ray Alliance not having been assessed for impairment.
The Accounts will shortly be available on Company's website,
www.asiawealthgroup.com, and extracts are set out below and in Appendix 1.
Chairman's Statement
The Company reports a consolidated loss of US$150,068 (last year (US$81,566).
Whilst the Board is disappointed with the consolidated results for the fourth
financial year of the Company, it is working hard to restore the group to
profitability and has identified several new areas of business expansion
opportunities in South East Asia and with a few groups in North America and in
Europe. The group's main source of income, Meyer Asset Management Ltd, achieved
a net profit of US$119,959 (last year US$151,243) and continues to show a
satisfactory performance, despite difficult trading conditions.
The Board remains focused on further acquisitions and partnerships in Europe
and the Americas as well as the south-east Asian region. The Board has a cash
surplus to seek further acquisitions.
I would again like to thank the Company's staff for their hard work throughout
the year and shareholders for their support and we look forward to taking
advantage of the opportunities which we expect to encounter in the forthcoming
year.
The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend for the year ended 29
February 2016.
