2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
This interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34,
Interim financial reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), the applicable disclosure
provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the HKEx (the "Hong Kong Listing Rules") and the AIM Rules
issued by the London Stock Exchange. The interim financial information is presented in Renminbi ("RMB"), rounded to the
nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.
The interim financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except that certain biological
assets are carried at their fair values. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this interim
financial information are consistent with those followed in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 30
June 2015, except for the accounting policy changes that are expected to be reflected in the Group's annual financial
statements for the year ending 30 June 2016. Details of the applications of new and revised IFRSs are set out in note 3.
The preparation of interim financial information in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses
on a year to date basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
This interim financial information contains condensed consolidated financial statements and explanatory notes. The notes
include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial
position and performance of the Group since the 2015 annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements prepared

3 APPLICATIONS OF NEW AND REVISED IFRSs
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 has not applied or early adopted the new or revised IFRSs which are relevant to the Group that have been issued
but are not yet effective in the preparation of this interim financial information.
The Group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments and new standards is expected to
be in the period of initial application, but is not yet in a position to state whether these amendments and new standards
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.

regulations of the PRC.
According to the PRC tax law, its rules and regulations, enterprises that engage in certain qualifying agricultural
