This interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim financial reporting, issued by the
IASB, the applicable disclosure provisions of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the AIM Rules issued by the London Stock
Exchange. All IFRSs effective for the accounting period commencing from 1 July 2015, together with the relevant
transitional provisions, have been adopted by the Group in the preparation of this interim financial information throughout
the periods covered in this report. 
 
The adoption of these new or revised IFRSs had no significant effect on the financial results of the current period.

The Group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments and new standards is expected to

will have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements. 
 
4      SEGMENT INFORMATION 
 
The Group manages its businesses by lines of business. In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported
internally to the Group's most senior executive management for the purposes of resources allocation and performance
assessment, the Group has two reportable segments. The segments are managed separately as each business offers different
products and required different business strategies. The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group's
reportable segments: 
 
·   Agricultural produce - planting, cultivation and sale of agricultural produce 
 
·   Processed fruit - manufacture and sale of fruit juice concentrates, fruit purees, frozen fruit and vegetables 
 
The directors assess the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of reportable segment results. This
measurement basis excludes the central other income, expenses and finance costs. 
 
Segment assets mainly exclude goodwill, certain property, plant and equipment, land use rights and other assets that are
managed on a central basis. Segment liabilities mainly exclude liabilities that are managed on a central basis.

7      OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES (Continued) 
 
 #    These expenses were resulted from the widespread damage caused by Typhoon Rammasun in July 2014.                                                                                                                                                                
 ##   These expenses were related to the closure of Xinfeng Plantation in December 2015. The Group engaged two independent research centres, Citrus Research Institute, the national scientific research centre for citrus fruits and directly subordinated to the    
      Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the Ministry of Agriculture of the PRC and Guangxi Academy of Specialty Crops, the scientific research centre subordinated to the Department of Agriculture of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the PRC, to conduct  
      comprehensive investigations into the extent of the infection of Huanglongbing disease at Xinfeng Plantation (the "Investigations"). According to the reports from the Investigations, Xinfeng Plantation is no longer economically productive due to the       
      massive infection of Huanglongbing disease and so the Board resolved to shut down Xinfeng Plantation with operations ceasing permanently. As a result, impairment losses and provisions were recognised for the six months ended 31 December 2015.              
 ###  These expenses were incurred as the directors of the Company have determined that the aggregate carrying amount of capitalised development costs is in excess of their recoverable amount based on a value in use calculation. Therefore, an impairment loss of 
      RMB45,187,000 is recognised for the six months ended 31 December 2015 so as to reflect the reduced recoverable amount of the intangible assets as assessed by management based on the current business and operating environment. More details are set out in   
      note 14.

9      INCOME TAX EXPENSE 
 
On the basis stated below, no income tax has been provided for by the Group: 
 
(a)    Pursuant to the rules and regulations of Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, the Group is
not subject to any income tax in the respective tax jurisdictions. 
 
(b)    No Hong Kong profits tax has been provided for as the Group did not have assessable profits arising in or derived
from Hong Kong. 
 
(c)    No PRC enterprise income tax has been provided for as the Group did not have assessable profit in the PRC during the
period. The provision for PRC enterprise income tax is based on the respective applicable rates on the estimated assessable
income of the Group's subsidiaries in the PRC as determined in accordance with the relevant income tax laws, rules and
regulations of the PRC. 
 
According to the PRC tax law, its rules and regulations, enterprises that engage in certain qualifying agricultural
businesses are eligible for certain tax benefits, including full enterprise income tax exemption on profits derived from
such businesses. Certain operating subsidiaries of the Group in the PRC engaged in qualifying agricultural business are
entitled to full exemption of enterprise income tax.

prior to 31 December 2007 are exempt from the withholding income tax. At 31 December 2015, no deferred tax liabilities have
been recognised in respect of the tax that would be payable on the unremitted profits of the PRC subsidiaries derived since

of such profits is expected to be declared from the PRC subsidiaries in the foreseeable future.
