HIGHLIGHTS
Overview
• Production and revenue saw a progressive improvement in 2017, which is
continuing into 2018
• Significant plantation disposal recently announced
Financial
• Revenue up 26 per cent to $100.2 million (2016: $79.3 million) reflecting
initial impact of operational improvements to restore yields to historic
norms
• Cost of sales increased to $86.3 million (2016: $71.8 million) primarily due
to expenditure on rehabilitation of the mature estates and increased cost
and volume of third party fruit purchases
• Pre-tax losses of $21.9 million (2016: $9.3 million), mainly due to increase
in the value of the group's sterling notes arising from exchange
fluctuations, resulting in a charge of $4.8 million in 2017 (2016: credit of
$10.5)
• Balance of 2017 dollar notes ($20.2 million) and 2017 sterling notes (£8.0
million) repaid
• Sale of 2022 dollar notes held in treasury and placing of preference shares
together raising $18.0 million
Agricultural operations
• Increased production of 530,565 tonnes of FFB, up 13 per cent (2016: 468,371
tonnes), benefiting from improvements in harvesting, infrastructure and
field management practices
• Increase in third party FFB purchased to 114,005 tonnes (2016: 98,052
tonnes)
• Consistently improved CPO extraction rates averaging 23 per cent
• 1,248 hectares of extension planting
Sale of subsidiary
• Agreement reached on 25 April 2018 for sale of REA Kaltim's 95 per cent
shareholding in PBJ to Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad; proceeds estimated at $85
million gross or approximately $57 million net of external debt repayments
and selling expenses
• Divestment serves to benefit capital structure by reducing indebtedness and
by relieving the group of the further investment that would be required to
take the PBJ estates to full maturity; it will also defer for at least
three years the need for a further group oil mill
• No material negative impact on group's immediate profit outlook as the
majority of the plantings at PBJ are immature
Stone and coal operations
• Plans to reopen coal concession at Kota Bangun progressed with conclusion of
arrangements to acquire loading point and conveyor with permitting now in
hand to allow mining operations to recommence
• Limestone quarry operations commenced
• Discussions regarding the development of the andesite stone concession
continuing
Organisational changes
• Appointment of Carol Gysin as group managing director in February 2017 and
several senior management changes implemented
• Completion of relocation of Indonesian administrative offices to a single
location in Balikpapan
Outlook
• The recovery seen in 2017 anticipated to strengthen further in 2018 with
crop levels and yields returning closer to historic norms
• FFB for the four months to April 2018 expected to be around 200,000 (2017:
159,706)
• Divestment of PBJ to enable group to concentrate operations on the remaining
plantation areas in near contiguous locations
• Coal activities expected to provide cash flows going forward
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
2017 saw the beginnings of a much needed recovery in the group's operations.
Following changes to staffing and staff responsibilities in both estates and
mills and with the estates beginning to benefit from the enhanced fertiliser
programmes initiated in 2016, harvesting, field management practices, mill
efficiency and road maintenance all progressively improved over the course of
the year.
Total revenue for the year increased to $100.2 million from $79.3 million in
2016. Operating losses were reduced to $2.2 million compared with $5.0 million
in 2016. Although the loss before tax increased to $21.9 million compared with
$9.3 million for 2016, this was principally the result of a negative swing from
year to year of $15.3 million in mark to market movements on the group's foreign
currency liabilities, with a charge to profits of $4.8 million in 2017 compared
with a credit of $10.5 million in 2016. In addition, and as previously reported,
a one off charge of $1.1 million was incurred in 2017 as a result of staff
changes arising from the reorganisation of the group's Indonesian offices. By
contrast, the results for 2016 benefited from a one off receipt of $1.1 million
received in respect of tax refunds.
Fresh fruit bunches ("FFB") harvested increased by 13 per cent in 2017 to some
530,000 tonnes, compared with 468,000 tonnes in 2016. This reflected an 8 per
cent increase in mature estate hectarage and an improvement in FFB yields to
15.6 tonnes per mature hectare in 2017 from 14.9 tonnes in 2016. There was a
similar increase in the volume of purchases of FFB from smallholders and other
third parties: 114,000 tonnes in 2017 compared with 98,000 tonnes in the
previous year. Crude palm oil ("CPO") production in 2017 totalled 144,000
tonnes, compared with 128,000 tonnes in 2016, with CPO extraction in the latter
part of 2017 running at consistently higher average rates than in 2016 and the
early months of 2017. The better performance reflected recent mill
refurbishment works, a rigorous maintenance programme, as well as an improvement
in the quality of FFB being processed. CPO and crude palm kernel oil ("CPKO")
yields of, respectively, 3.6 and 0.3 tonnes per mature hectare were achieved
during 2017 compared with, respectively, 3.4 tonnes and 0.3 tonnes per hectare
in 2016.
The CPO price, CIF Rotterdam, had a strong start to the year rising from $790
per tonne at the beginning of January to a high of $857 per tonne on the back of
generally lower production before declining to a low of $640 per tonne
reflecting increasing stock levels and expectations of significant production
growth in the second half of the year. The price closed at the end of the year
at $670 per tonne and has traded in the range $640 to $710 per tonne in 2018 to
date. Prices are currently at $640 per tonne. Consumption growth and weaker
soybean production in South America appears likely to support prices around
these levels.
Progress with development of both PT Putra Bongan Jaya ("PBJ") and PT Cipta
Davia Mandiri ("CDM") was slower than expected in 2017. Weather conditions
throughout the year hampered extension planting in PBJ and a review of the
programme for CDM resulted in a decision to cancel planting of some 1,000
hectares that had been originally planned so as to concentrate on larger, near
contiguous blocks as well as to reconsider the status of the conservation
reserves. Planting in PBJ and CDM combined amounted to some 1,161 hectares in
2017, with the balance of the targeted 3,000 hectares carried over to 2018.
Plans to reopen the group's coal concession at Kota Bangun were progressed
during 2017 leading to the conclusion by the group, in April 2018, of
arrangements to acquire an established loading point on the Mahakam River,
together with a coal conveyor that crosses the group's concession and runs to
the loading point. This acquisition is an essential prerequisite to efficient
evacuation of coal from the Kota Bangun concession. With it concluded, the
group is applying for the requisite permits to recommence mining operations and
to sell the previously mined coal currently held in stockpile. Discussions
regarding the development of the group's andesite stone concession continue.
The group further addressed its funding arrangements during 2017, raising monies
from the sale of the $7.2 million of 2022 dollar notes held in treasury, the
issue of 8.4 million new £1 cumulative preference shares and the completion of
the arrangements agreed with the group's new local partner in 2016. In
addition, revolving working capital facilities were rolled over for a further 12
months at the end of July 2017. All of the outstanding $20.2 million of 2017
dollar notes and the outstanding £8.0 million of 2017 sterling notes were repaid
in June and December 2017 respectively.
Further to the statement in the group's half yearly report published in
September 2017 regarding a potential divestment of certain outlying plantation
assets, the group reached an agreement on 25 April 2018 for the sale of its PBJ
subsidiary. Completion of the sale, which is subject to shareholder approval,
is expected to take place later in 2018 and will result in group indebtedness
being reduced by the bank borrowings in PBJ and a cash inflow to the group
provisionally estimated at $57 million. The PBJ estate is located some distance
from the group's principal estates and would, in the near future, have required
the construction of a new mill and other infrastructure for harvesting and
processing crop. Divestment of PBJ will therefore both reduce the funding
required for the group's immediate development programme and permit the group's
management to focus on a geographically more compact area of operations.
The proceeds from the divestment of PBJ will principally be applied in reducing
group indebtedness. Coupled with the funding actions taken over the last two
years, this divestment leaves the group in a stronger financial position. It
will permit the group to operate with significantly reduced indebtedness and, at
the same time, to proceed quickly to develop suitable areas of its remaining
undeveloped land bank. Following the completion in 2017 of the agreements for
the transfer to SYB of fully titled land areas held by PU, the remaining
developable land bank following the sale of PBJ is currently estimated at about
10,000 hectares. The immediate impact on production of the sale of PBJ will be
immaterial as the majority of this estate is not yet mature.
In view of the results for 2017, the directors have concluded that they should
not declare or recommend the payment of any ordinary dividend in respect of the
year.
The recovery in group operations that began in 2017 has continued into 2018,
with production in March demonstrating a noticeable upturn, against a background
of generally poorer cropping in East Kalimantan. The positive trend has
continued into April, with daily cropping rates suggesting an FFB crop for the
month approaching 60,000 tonnes (2016: 32,070 tonnes). Higher production
combined with increases in mill efficiency should result in further progress in
the group's operational performance during the current year.
The improvements to the group's balance sheet that will follow from the
divestment of PBJ and a resumption of coal revenues should help the group
accelerate development of its land bank. With CPO prices expected to remain
around current levels, the prospects for the group are more encouraging than
they have been for some years.
DIVIDENDS
The fixed semi-annual dividends on the 9 per cent cumulative preference shares
that fell due on 30 June and 31 December 2017 were duly paid. In line with
previous indications and in view of the financial performance during 2017, the
directors have concluded that, as previously announced, they should not declare
or recommend the payment of any dividend on the ordinary shares in respect of
2017.
As previously indicated, if crops continue to recover as expected, prices for
the group's palm products are maintained at around current levels, the sale of
PBJ is successfully completed and the coal operations start to generate suitable
returns, the directors intend to resume the payment of ordinary dividends.
However, the programme of development of the group's land bank remains ongoing
and will require further significant capital expenditure. The need to fund
such expenditure will necessarily influence the rates at which the directors
feel that they can prudently declare, or recommend the payment of, ordinary
dividends over the next few years.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The fifty-eighth annual general meeting of R.E.A. Holdings plc will be held at
the London office of Ashurst LLP at Broadwalk House, 5 Appold Street, London
EC2A 2HA on 13 June 2018 at 10.00 am.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The group's business involves risks and uncertainties. Identification,
assessment, management and mitigation of the risks associated with
environmental, social and governance matters forms part of the group's system of
internal control for which the board of the company has ultimate
responsibility. The board discharges that responsibility as described in
"Corporate governance" in the annual report.
Those risks and uncertainties that the directors currently consider to be
material are described below. There are or may be other risks and uncertainties
faced by the group that the directors currently deem immaterial, or of which
they are unaware, that may have a material adverse impact on the group.
Material risks, related policies and the group's successes and failures with
respect to environmental, social and governance matters and the measures taken
in response to any failures are described in more detail under "Sustainability"
in the annual report.
Where risks are reasonably capable of mitigation, the group seeks to mitigate
them. Beyond that, the directors endeavour to manage the group's finances on a
basis that leaves the group with some capacity to withstand adverse impacts from
identified areas of risk but such management cannot provide insurance against
every possible eventuality.
Risks assessed by the directors as being of particular significance are those
detailed below under climatic and other operational factors, produce prices and
funding. In the case of climatic and other operational factors and produce
prices, the directors' assessment reflects the negative impact on revenues that
could be caused by adverse climatic conditions or operational circumstances and,
in the case of funding, the considerations referred to in the "Viability
statement" in the "Directors' report" in the annual report.

significant risk to the group's operations from this decision. Any reduction in
UK interest rates may negatively impact the level of the technical provisions of
the REA Pension Scheme but, given the Scheme's estimated funding position, the
directors do not expect that the impact will be material in the context of the
group.

The group's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its
future development, performance and position are described in the "Strategic
report" which also provides (under the heading "Finance") a description of the
group's cash flow, liquidity and financing adequacy and treasury policies. In
addition, note 23 to the consolidated financial statements includes information
as to the group's policy, objectives and processes for managing capital, its
financial risk management objectives, details of financial instruments and
hedging policies and exposures to credit and liquidity risks. The "Risks and
uncertainties" section of the Strategic report describes the material risks
faced by the group and actions taken to mitigate those risks. In particular,
there are risks associated with the group's local operating environment and the
group is materially dependent upon selling prices for crude palm oil ("CPO") and
crude palm kernel oil over which it has no control.
As respects funding risk, the group has material indebtedness, in the form of
bank loans and listed notes. Some $5.1 million (excluding $1.1 million of bank
loans to PBJ that will be discharged upon completion of the sale of PBJ as
referred to below) of bank term indebtedness falls due for repayment during
2018. A further $22.0 million of revolving working capital lines fall due for
renewal during the same period. A further £31.9 million ($42.8 million) sterling
notes will become repayable in August 2020. In view of the material proportion
of the group's indebtedness falling due in the period to 31 December 2020, as
described above, the directors have chosen this period for their assessment of
the long-term viability of the group.
As announced on 25 April 2018, the group has entered into a conditional
agreement for the sale of PBJ. The sale is expected to realise gross proceeds
of approximately $85 million and net proceeds of approximately $57 million after
repayment of external borrowings and net of selling expenses. The proceeds of
the sale of the PBJ shares and the repayment of monies owed by PBJ to other
group companies will be applied in reduction of group indebtedness. Completion
is not expected to occur before 31 August 2018 and the sale agreement will lapse
if the conditions have not been satisfied by 31 January 2019. The purchaser has
deposited with the group the sum of $8 million by way of a pre-completion
advance; should completion not occur then such sum will be repayable. PBJ is a
recently planted property but is not currently profitable. Accordingly, its
sale will not have a material negative impact on the immediate profit outlook
for the group.
In the meanwhile, the group is continuing discussions to refinance with longer
term debt indebtedness falling due in 2018 and 2019, although the directors have
no reason to believe that the revolving working capital facilities falling due
in 2018 and 2019 will not be rolled over when they fall due for renewal (all
revolving working capital facilities having previously been substantially rolled
over on past renewals).
In 2020 consideration will be given to the submission of proposals to the
holders of the sterling notes to refinance these with securities of longer
tenor.
With the improvement in crops now being seen and CPO prices projected to remain
at remunerative levels, the group's plantation operations can be expected to
generate increasing cash flows going forward. In addition, the group is
currently finalising arrangements to recommence operations at the group's
principal coal concession and this can be expected to result in increasing cash
flow. The group's ongoing extension planting programme will continue to require
material capital expenditure but the group has flexibility as to the rate of
development. Moreover, successful completion of the divestment of PBJ referred
to above will defer for some years the group's requirement for a fourth palm oil
mill.
The directors fully expect that the divestment and financing initiatives
currently being pursued, coupled with the improving outlook for the group's
internally generated cash flows, will refinance, or permit the group to repay,
the group indebtedness falling due for repayment during the period of
assessment. However, should funding be required pending completion of these
initiatives, the group will seek to issue for cash a limited number of new
shares, authority for which will be sought as and when appropriate.
Based on the foregoing and after making enquiries, the directors therefore have
a reasonable expectation that the company and the group have adequate resources
to continue in operational existence for the period to 31 December 2020 and to
remain viable during that period.
Going concern
Material risks faced by the group are set out in the "Risks and uncertainties"
section of the "Strategic report" with an indication of those risks regarded by
the directors as potentially significant together with mitigating and other
relevant considerations for the management of risks. Financing policies are
described on pages 33 and 34 of the Strategic report and 2017 developments
relating to capital structure are detailed in the "Finance" section of the
Strategic report under "Capital structure". The directors have set out their
assessment of liquidity and financing adequacy on pages 32 and 33 of the
Strategic report including the actions either in progress or contemplated in
order to ensure adequate liquidity for the next twelve months.
Based on the foregoing, having made due enquiries, the directors reasonably
expect that the company and the group have adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for at least twelve months from the date of approval of
the financial statements, and therefore they continue to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
DIRECTORS' CONFIRMATION OF RESPONSIBILITY

The accompanying financial statements and notes 1 to 14 below (together the
"accompanying financial information") have been extracted without material
adjustment from the financial statements of the group for the year ended 31
December 2017 (the "2017 financial statements"). The auditor has reported on
those accounts; the reports were unqualified and did not contain statements
under sections 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. Copies of the 2017
financial statements will be filed in the near future with the Registrar of
Companies. The accompanying financial information does not constitute statutory
accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 of the
company.
Whilst the 2017 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European
Union as at the date of authorisation of those accounts, the accompanying
financial information does not itself contain sufficient information to comply
with IFRS.
The 2017 financial statements and the accompanying financial information were

be deducted borrowings from PBJ's bankers projected at $26.0 million at
completion. As a result, the net proceeds to the group are expected to amount,
net of expenses, to approximately $57 million. Such net proceeds will be
applied substantially in the reduction of group indebtedness.
Completion is not expected to occur before 31 August 2018 and the sale agreement
will lapse if the conditions have not been satisfied by 31 January 2019. The
purchaser has deposited with the group, by way of an advance of the purchase
price, the sum of $8 million. Should the agreement for the sale of PBJ not
become unconditional, such amount will be repayable.
The estimated sums disclosed above in relation to the gross and net sale
proceeds will be recalculated immediately prior to completion. Based on current
projections, the tax impact of the eventual sale is expected to be minimal.
The PBJ plantation is a recently planted property but is not currently
profitable. Accordingly, its sale will not have a material negative impact on
the immediate profit outlook for the group.
Otherwise there have been no material post balance sheet events that would
require disclosure in, or adjustment to, the financial statements.
