PROVISIONAL FINANCIAL STATE

FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS EN

31ST MARCH 2025

Chairman's Review

Year-over-year performance showed a significant progress towards financial recovery. During the 04thquarter of financial year 2025, gross profit margin improved to 15.8% compared to 15.1% reported in 04thquarter of Financial Year 2024. This is supported by effective cost-control initiatives and improved pricing strategies. Although there was a slight decrease in revenue (▼1.4% compared to 04thquarter in Financial Year 2024), the sales performance remained relatively stable, with only a marginal contraction.

For the trailing twelve months, revenue remained relatively flat, indicating top-line stability. However, this stagnation is primarily attributed to changes in customer product mix. Notably, the company reported a significant improvement in net loss, by 57.1% compared to Financial Year 2024, indicating financial recovery. This recovery was supported by cost reduction and financial restructuring efforts aimed at returning to profitability.

The company has also implemented strategic initiatives to drive sales growth, including expanding into new territories and increasing R&D to develop new product lines for both existing and prospective customers. These efforts are targeted at reducing operational and accumulated losses. Furthermore, the recent launch of the herb distribution operation positions the company to potentially capture a substantial portion of the market share.
