Select Harvests joins US big league
The announcement of a record profit coincides with news that the company has joined the big league of international almond growers.
Managing Director Mr Bird said "This years plant-out takes our total area under management to around 10,000 acres placing us in the top 5 almond growers in the world."
Select Harvests has planted 8000 acres of almond trees on behalf of external investors over the last 6 years establishing itself as an international player and more than doubling Australia's total almond acreage over that time.
Mr Bird said "Australia has significant advantages over the US in crop yields and insect control allowing us to be cost competitive in the international market"
World almond consumption has grown to record highs over the last few years driven by a growing awareness of the health benefits of regular consumption.
Mr Bird said "With USA production set to plateau over the next few years the increased production from our orchards over the same period will be timely"
Overview
The results for the year further demonstrate the ability of the company's strategy to deliver sustained earnings growth with significantly less volatility from agricultural risk, and as a consequence a re-rating of the company.
That strategy has been to transform Select Harvests from a commodity based almond grower to an integrated agri-food business with a diversified income stream.
By leveraging our core skills, the growing of almonds and a detailed knowledge of edible nuts and their markets, our activities now involve managing orchards for investors, marketing almonds in the domestic and export markets, and processing and marketing an extensive range of nut and fruit based food products to retailers, distributors and food manufacturers.
The year in review
The past year has seen further implementation of the key components of our strategy.
- During the year we established a large-scale almond project planting a further 2,750 $\bullet$ . acres of investor owned orchards, increasing the total area of almonds under our management to 9940 acres.
- $\bullet$ . In the first half of the year we completed the consolidation of our food manufacturing operations to a state-of-the-art processing facility in Melbourne. This project caused some short-term disruption to our business but is now fully operational and in the longer term provides the production capacity and operational efficiencies to facilitate future growth.
- In May this year we announced the acquisition of the Meriram Group of Companies, $\bullet$ which was completed on $9th$ July 2003. Meriram has an annual turnover of approximately \$28 million and manufactures a range of health foods, cooking ingredients and breakfast cereals. This acquisition is a logical extension of our food processing and marketing strategy and will deliver revenue growth, increased product ranging and branding and an entry into the fast growing health food sector. It also provides a number of synergies, which can be exploited as we progressively integrate the business with our current operations. Following this acquisition total sales of the combined Food Products business are around \$80 million per annum.
Prospects
International almond prices increased over the past year despite a record USA 2002 harvest. The record crop was matched by a 20% increase in off take as world consumption continued to grow at a record pace. Northern hemisphere crops are commencing harvest and indications are that both USA and Spain will have reduced crops this year with total world supply estimated to fall below last years consumption.
- $\bullet$ On behalf of Timbercorp Limited, we are planning a 3000 acre almond development in 2004, which will provide further growth to our recurring fee income stream in the future. We are also currently pursuing other almond development opportunities. which may commence in the current year. We are expecting a larger almond crop from investor owned orchards this year, as more trees commence bearing, providing increased fee income from processing and marketing activities.
- $\bullet$ Our Melbourne manufacturing facility is now bedded down and we are beginning to achieve the planned efficiency gains. We are seeing strong consumption growth of nut based products at retail level and have a number of new products entering the market over the next few months. Following completion of the Meriram acquisition we will receive a full year profit contribution from that business.
We have commenced the new financial year well and given no unforseen circumstances the Directors forecast an increase in earnings over last year of more than 10%.

Brief explanation of any of the figures reported above (see Note 1) and short details of any bonus or eash issue or other item(s) of importance not previously released to the market:
During the financial year, the economic entity adopted a change to its accounting policy relating to the recognition of income and outgoings arising from the sale of pooled almonds from externally owned or third party orchards.
The economic entity provides a range of management and other services to externally owned or third party orchards. The income and expenses associated with the provision of orchard establishment, orchard management, harvesting, maintenance, and processing and marketing are recorded as income of the economic entity.
In addition to these services, the economic entity sells the crop of almonds harvested from the orchards of the external owners. These sales are made by the economic entity on a pooled basis, the proceeds from which are distributed to the pool participants. The economic entity earns a marketing fee for providing this service, and this fee is recorded as income.
In order to more accurately reflect the underlying nature of the economic entity's sale of Pooled Almonds, a new segment has been created ("Almond Pool Sales") into which both the receipts and payments associated with this activity have been allocated.
The impact of this change in accounting policy is to reduce revenues from ordinary activities in the 2003 financial year by \$3,176,000, and to reduce revenues in the 2002 financial year for comparative purposes by \$2,203,000.
The change in accounting policy does not impact the economic entity's profit from operations.
Refer to items 1.23 to 1.25 for further details of movements in revenues between years.

Notes
- L For announcement to the market The percentage changes referred to in this section are the percentage changes calculated by comparing the current period's figures with those for the previous corresponding period. Do not show percentage changes if the change is from profit to loss or loss to profit, but still show whether the change was up or down. If changes in accounting policies or procedures have had a material effect on reported figures, do not show either directional or percentage changes in profits. Explain the reason for the omissions in the note at the end of the announcement section. Entities are encouraged to attach notes or fuller explanations of any significant changes to any of the items in page 1. The area at the end of the announcement section can be used to provide a cross reference to any such attachment.
- $2.$ True and fair view If this report does not give a true and fair view of a matter (for example, because compliance with an Accounting Standard is required) the entity must attach a note providing additional information and explanations to give a true and fair view.
$\div$ See chapter 19 for defined terms.
3. Conde nsed consolidated statement of financial performance
- Item 1.1 The definition of "revenue" and an explanation of "ordinary activities" are set out in AASB 1004: Revenue, and AASB 1018: Statement of Financial Performance.
- Item 1.6 This item refers to the total tax attributable to the amount shown in item 1.5. Tax includes income tax and capital gains tax (if any) but excludes taxes treated as expenses from ordinary activities (eg. fringe benefits tax).
- $4.$ Income tax If the amount provided for income tax in this report differs (or would differ but for compensatory items) by more than 15% from the amount of income tax prima facie payable on the profit before tax, the entity must explain in a note the major items responsible for the difference and their amounts. The rate of tax applicable to the franking amount per dividend should be inserted in the heading for the column "Franked amount per security at % tax" for items 15.4 to 15.7.
Condensed consolidated statement of financial position $5.$
Format The format of the consolidated statement of financial position should be followed as closely as possible. However, additional items may be added if greater clarity of exposition will be achieved, provided the disclosure still meets the requirements of AASB 1029: Interim Financial Reporting, and AASB 1040: Statement of Financial Position. Also, banking institutions, trusts and financial institutions may substitute a clear liquidity ranking for the Current/Non-Current classification.
Basis of revaluation If there has been a material revaluation of non-current assets (including investments) since the last +annual report, the entity must describe the basis of revaluation adopted. The description must meet the requirements of AASB 1010: Accounting for the Revaluation of Non-Current Assets. If the entity has adopted a procedure of regular revaluation, the basis for which has been disclosed and has not changed, no additional disclosure is required.
- Condensed consolidated statement of cash flows For definitions of "cash" and other terms 6. used in this report see AASB 1026: Statement of Cash Flows. Entities should follow the form as closely as possible, but variations are permitted if the directors (in the case of a trust, the management company) believe that this presentation is inappropriate. However, the presentation adopted must meet the requirements of $AASB$ 1026. +Mining exploration entities may use the form of cash flow statement in Appendix 5B.
- Net tangible asset backing Net tangible assets are determined by deducting from total $7.$ tangible assets all claims on those assets ranking ahead of the $+$ ordinary securities (ie, all liabilities, preference shares, outside +equity interests etc). +Mining entities are not required to state a net tangible asset backing per $+$ ordinary security.
-
- Gain and loss of control over entities The gain or loss must be disclosed if it has a material effect on the "accounts. Details must include the contribution for each gain or loss that increased or decreased the entity's consolidated profit (loss) from ordinary activities and extraordinary items after tax by more than 5% compared to the previous corresponding period.
-
- Rounding of figures This report anticipates that the information required is given to the nearest \$1,000. If an entity reports exact figures, the \$A'000 headings must be amended. If an
$\div$ See chapter 19 for defined terms.
entity qualifies under ASIC Class Order 98/0100 dated 10 July 1998, it may report to the nearest million dollars, or to the nearest \$100,000, and the \$A'000 headings must be amended.
-
- Comparative figures Comparative figures are to be presented in accordance with AASB 1018 or AASB 1029 Interim Financial Reporting as appropriate and are the unadjusted figures from the latest annual or half year report as appropriate. However, if an adjustment has been made in accordance with an accounting standard or other reason or if there is a lack of comparability, a note explaining the position should be attached. For the statement of financial performance, AASB 1029 Interim Financial Reporting requires information on a year to date basis in addition to the current interim period. Normally an Appendix 4B to which AASB 1029 Interim Financial Reporting applies would be for the half year and consequently the information in the current period is also the year to date. If an Appendix 4B Half yearly version is produced for an additional interim period (eg because of a change of reporting period), the entity must provide the year to date information and comparatives required by AASB 1029 Interim Financial Reporting. This should be in the form of a multi-column version of the consolidated statement of financial performance as an attachment to the additional Appendix 4B.
- $\prod$ Additional information An entity may disclose additional information about any matter, and must do so if the information is material to an understanding of the reports. The information may be an expansion of the material contained in this report, or contained in a note attached to the report. The requirement under the listing rules for an entity to complete this report does not prevent the entity issuing reports more frequently. Additional material lodged with the $^{+}$ ASIC under the Corporations Act must also be given to ASX. For example, a director's report and declaration, if lodged with the $^{+}$ ASIC, must be given to ASX.
- $12.$ Accounting Standards ASX will accept, for example, the use of International Accounting Standards for foreign entities. If the standards used do not address a topic, the Australian standard on that topic (if one exists) must be complied with.
-
- Corporations Act financial statements This report may be able to be used by an entity required to comply with the Corporations Act as part of its half-year financial statements if prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.
-
- Issued and quoted securities The issue price and amount paid up is not required in items 18.1 and 18.3 for fully paid securities.
- 15 Details of expenses AASB 1018 requires disclosure of expenses from ordinary activities according to either their nature or function. For foreign entities, there are similar requirements in other accounting standards accepted by ASX. AASB ED 105 clarifies that the disclosures required by AASB 1018 must be either all according to nature or all according to function. Entities must disclose details of expenses using the layout (by nature or function) employed in their $+$ accounts.
The information in lines 1.23 to 1.27 may be provided in an attachment to Appendix 4B.
Relevant Items AASB 1018 requires the separate disclosure of specific revenues and expenses which are not extraordinary but which are of a size, nature or incidence that disclosure is relevant in explaining the financial performance of the reporting entity. The term "relevance" is defined in AASB 1018. There is an equivalent requirement in AASB 1029: Interim Financial Reporting. For foreign entities, there are similar requirements in other accounting standards accepted by ASX.
$\div$ See chapter 19 for defined terms.
Dollars If reporting is not in A\$, all references to \$A must be changed to the reporting 16 currency. If reporting is not in thousands of dollars, all references to "000" must be changed to the reporting value.
$17.$ Discontinuing operations
Half yearly report
All entities must provide the information required in paragraph 12 for half years beginning on or after 1 July 2001.
Preliminary final report
Entities must either provide a description of any significant activities or events relating to discontinuing operations equivalent to that required by paragraph 7.5 (g) of $AASB 1029$ . Interim Financial Reporting, or, the details of discontinuing operations they are required to disclose in their +accounts in accordance with AASB 1042 Discontinuing Operations.
In any case the information may be provided as an attachment to this Appendix 4B.
