Chairman’s Statement
The Board is pleased to report the audited results of the Company for the Financial Year from 1 March 2023 to 29 February 2024. The audited accounts will shortly be available on the Company’s website, www.asiawealthgroup.com.
The Company reports a consolidated loss of US$108,301 (2023: US$188,250).
The Company continues to search for new areas of business expansion opportunities in South East Asia and in Europe, where it is has identified and engaged in meaningful discussions. The Company’s main source of income continued to be through Meyer Asset Management Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Board remains focused on further acquisitions and partnerships in Asia and Europe as well as the south-east Asian region. The Board has a cash surplus to seek further acquisitions and is currently in active discussions with businesses in the wealth management and clean energy space.
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 2024.

Chairman
Extract from audit opinion:
“Basis for Qualified Opinion – Due from director
On 29 February 2024, the Group transferred its investment in private equity of $32,857, which was valued using valuation techniques, to one of its Directors, payment for which remained outstanding. We were unable to obtain sufficient audit evidence as to whether the transfer value that it was carried at in the Group’s financial statements represented its fair market value. As a result, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments would be necessary with regards to the resulting receivable from one of its Directors in the consolidated statement of financial position, and the related consolidated statement of comprehensive income.”
In a related party transaction, Richard Cayne, bought the 180,000 Class A common shares of BRM Agri Cambodia Limited for an amount of $32,857 on 29 February 2024. The independent directors of the Company, having exercised reasonable care, skill and diligence believe that the sale of the 180,000 A Class common shares is fair and reasonable as far as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.
BRM Agri Cambodia Limited was acquired by the Company in August 2021.
The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the content of this announcement.
