AUDITED RESULTS

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 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.
