“
Dear Fellow Stockholders:
We are now entering a new phase into this pandemic with high hopes and a more positive outlook as we complete vaccination roll outs and resume business as usual. However, the lingering effects of the pandemic has undeniably affected our Company’s bottom line.
Seafront Resources Corporation’s net income decreased by 24% from P26.50 million in 2020 to P20.13 million in 2021. Most of our earnings came from dividends on our investment in Hermosa Ecozone Development Corporation (HEDC) amounting to P31.71 million. But this inflow was offset by the depressing and volatile market performance brought by the pandemic, and recently by major global and national events.
On a positive note, Hermosa Ecozone managed to sell 56,527 sqm of lots in 2021 translating to P323 million in revenues. We expect a more dynamic, lively investment atmosphere as the world starts to recover and we are hopeful that locators will be more optimistic with their investments. With your trust and support, our Company will be able to take advantage of this renewed confidence.
Thank you.”
