DIRECTORS’ REPORT

3. Review of operations (continued)

b) Leveraging on investments

Wiseway’s investments over FY20 in people, infrastructure and our operations resulted in increased market share in perishables – exporting seafood, fresh milk, chilled meat, and fresh produce. To accommodate future growth, we have opened a Business Support Office in Guangzhou, China. This new office is in addition to our Shanghai office.

Our customs‐bonded warehouses in all major cities in Australia and New Zealand have provided an advantage over other freight forwarders who do not have this capability.

The strength of the business comes from Wiseway’s integrated operating platform supporting multiple logistics services that can be combined without our customers having to change service providers.

The first half of FY21 has been a period of growth in both volume weight and revenue compared to prior year. This is a direct result from our FY19 investment pipeline including bonded warehouses, airway, accreditation for Perishable supply and obtaining operational licences in Auckland. Wiseway has been focusing on improving operations through enhanced SOPs, increasing investment in our staff across our new divisions Perishables, Imports, China and New Zealand to meet demand.

c) COVID‐19 Update

As an essential service provider during the COVID‐19 pandemic, Wiseway has continued to operate its import and export services between Australia and Asia. Flight restrictions imposed by the Australian Government (1 Feb 2020) have caused disruption to established Australia‐Asia trade pathways, as the cargo space previously available on passenger airlines is no longer available. Wiseway recognised the opportunity in this disruption to demonstrate its leadership in Australian‐Chinese trade relations. It has leveraged its relationships with airlines, shipping lines and local trucking companies, to ensure customers’ cargo can still get in and out of Asia through a combination of alternative routes. With both Australian and Chinese customers turning to Wiseway for help in finding solutions to this difficult logistical challenge, Wiseway has been able to gain new customers and demonstrate their primacy in Australia‐Asia trade logistics to a new audience. In the new environment, Wiseway secured cargo space by chartering flights. This has significantly increased Wiseway’s capability to continue servicing demand for air freight.

Wiseway has implemented operational ‘COVID‐19 safe’ procedures and have been able to continue operations and service customers across Australia, including those in Victoria throughout the period of the State’s border closure.

d) Outlook

Currently, demand for logistics services remains high. However, due to the unprecedented nature of this global pandemic, this may vary as the situation develops over time. The breadth and depth of our diversified logistics services, our highly experienced management team, and the risk management plans we have put in place, position Wiseway to actively manage its operations and maximise its outcomes in the prevailing operating environment. The Board and Management of Wiseway are focused on supporting our employees, customers, broader community and international trade during these anxious and difficult times. Wiseway will continue to update the market as and when necessary.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

4. Events after the reporting period

The secured loan facility of $5,000,000 was fully repaid on 4 January 2021 and is available for redraw.

Wiseway Group Limited senior management have identified Los Angeles, USA as a suitable location for the company’s next phase of expansion in FY21 Q4. A greenfield strategy has been identified, similar to the strategy undertaken to expand into the New Zealand market in FY19.

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial period which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial periods.

The Group is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/ Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and in accordance with that instrument, amounts in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

15. Related parties

A number of these related parties transacted with the Group during the six months ended 31 December 2020.

RTF Investment Management Pty Limited as trustee for RFT Trust, a trust of which Roger Tong and Florence Tong are the beneficiaries, provided leased commercial premises to the Group on normal commercial terms and conditions. During the six months ended 31 December 2020, the rental expense incurred by the group payable to the related party was $869,661 (1 July 2019 to 31 December 2019: $762,000).

17. Subsequent Events

The secured loan facility of $5,000,000 was fully repaid on 4 January 2021 and is available for redraw.

Wiseway Group Limited senior management have identified Los Angeles, USA as a suitable location for the company’s next phase of expansion in FY21 Q4. A greenfield strategy has been identified, similar to the strategy undertaken to expand into the New Zealand market in FY19.

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial period which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial periods.

18. COVID 19

As an essential service provider during the COVID‐19 pandemic, Wiseway has continued to operate its import and export services between Australia and Asia. Flight restrictions imposed by the Australian Government (1 Feb 2020) have caused disruption to established Australia‐Asia trade pathways, as the cargo space previously available on passenger airlines is no longer available. Wiseway recognised the opportunity in this disruption to demonstrate its leadership in Australian‐Chinese trade relations. It has leveraged its relationships with airlines, shipping lines and local trucking companies, to ensure customers’ cargo can still get in and out of Asia through a combination of alternative routes. With both Australian and Chinese customers turning to Wiseway for help in finding solutions to this difficult logistical challenge, Wiseway has been able to gain new customers and demonstrate their primacy in Australia‐Asia trade logistics to a new audience. In the new environment, Wiseway secured cargo space by chartering flights. This has significantly increased Wiseway’s capability to continue servicing demand for air freight.

Wiseway has implemented operational ‘COVID‐19 safe’ procedures and have been able to continue operations and service customers across Australia, including those in Victoria throughout the period of the State’s border closure.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Interim Financial Report

The Directors of the Company are responsible for:

  • the preparation of the Interim Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001

  • such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Interim Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Interim Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Interim Financial Report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the Interim Financial Report does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the Interim period ended on that date, and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of an Interim Financial Report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
