Welcome to Select Harvests’ 2016/17
Annual Report. It has been a challenging
year for the company with a variety of
controllable and uncontrollable events
(including project delays and currency)
impacting this year’s result. Whilst the
results are disappointing, pleasingly the
underlying fundamentals of the industry
remain positive with both almond and
plant protein consumption continuing
to increase.
As a business we have made considerable
progress on our key strategic initiatives
– increasing our almond growing capacity
through our Greenfield Almond planting
program and the acquisition of mature
Almond orchards, adding value by investing
in our brands and investing in plant and
equipment capable of increasing the value
of the base commodity raw almonds (project
parboil) and finally by reducing cost through
investing in sustainable solutions like the H2e
biomass facility. positioning the company to
be globally competitive through all cycles.
Financial Performance
Select Harvests produced a Reported npAt
of A$9.2 million and epS of 12.6 cents per
share in FY17.
the company generated a healthy pre-tax
operating cash flow of A$33.8 million. After
paying A$29.0 million tax in FY17, relating
to the record FY16 npAt, FY17 operating
cash flow was reduced to A$4.7 million.
the company paid an interim, fully franked
dividend of 10 cps on 5 April 2017 and declared
nil final dividend.
At 30 June 2017, net Debt (including lease
liabilities) was A$145.8 million and net Debt
to equity was 53%.
Select Harvests Annual Report 20175
KEY PROJEcT UPDATES
Jubilee Almond Orchard Acquisition
During the year, Select Harvests acquired
the proven high yielding Jubilee orchard
near Waikerie, SA for A$26.4 million,
comprising 465 planted Ha (1,147 planted
acres) of almonds and 1,335 Ml of high
security water entitlements. the Jubilee
orchard is an outstanding, high performing
asset that compliments the geographically
diversified Select Harvests almond portfolio.
Jubilee will make an important long term
contribution to Select Harvests profitability
and asset base, beginning with the 2018 crop.
Greenfield Almond Plantings
In July 2016, Select Harvests planted out
844 Ha (2,084 acres) of Greenfield almond
orchards that it will lease from First State
Super (FSS). In July 2017, we planted out
another 352 Ha (870 acres) funded by FSS
– we now have 7,490 Ha (18,500 acres)
of planted almond orchards. this provides
Select Harvests with long term control of
a large scale, globally competitive almond
orchard. the first crop from the 2016
plantings will be harvested in three years
and fully mature in seven years.
the 2017 crop was 14,100 Mt. based on
current greenfield plantings, our crop will
be 21,000 Mt by 2022, just under 50%
greater than today.
Project Parboil (value-Added
Almond Facility)
the state of the art Value-Added Almond
processing Facility at Carina West (project
parboil) has experienced significant delays
and commenced commissioning in Q1
FY2018 at an increased cost of A$14.3 million.
this facility is now in production and
progressing through the individual customer
certifications. this facility provides increased
efficiency, greater processing capacity and
importantly allergen-free almond products
(including pastes – the essential ingredient
in the commercial production of almond milk).
parboil will assist in maximizing the average
price of the almonds and in part insulate
us from the effects of the commodity cycle.
Project H2E (2.4MW Biomass Electricity
cogeneration Facility)
project H2e will provide the Carina West
processing Facility and neighbouring farms
with secure, low-cost electricity supply
generated from operational by-product plus
significantly reducing our carbon footprint.
We have experienced significant time delays
and cost increases. the revised timeline for
commissioning of project H2e is Q3 FY2018
and estimated cost is now A$19.7 million.
Despite these unfortunate events the
investment returns remain positive, in an
environment of escalating energy costs.

Balance Sheet
Current debt levels are at the top of the
targeted range. the balance sheet includes
the impact of A$56.8 million of net investing
cash outflows resulting from the acquisition
of the Jubilee orchard, expenditure on major
projects and orchard development costs.
We continue to focus on reducing operational
expenditure, working capital and capital
expenditure, and are investigating a number
of debt reduction initiatives to strengthen
our balance sheet. We recognise the need
for a strong balance Sheet to allow us to
invest and grow in all cycles.
Almond Division
the Almond Division delivered an ebIt
of A$13.7 million in FY2017 – down on the
FY2016 Reported profit of A$44.6 million
and FY2016 underlying profit of A$36.1 million.
the year on year profit decline was largely
the result of a fall in the global almond price
and the appreciation of the AuD, plus higher
orchard lease costs as a result of re-valuation.
Almond volume was 14,100 Mt (FY16 14,200 Mt)
while price was A$7.43/kg (FY16 A$8.08/kg).
the crop volume was lower than forecast,
impacted by the significantly wetter spring
and milder summer – a trend that was seen
across the Australian Almond Industry.
post-harvest review has concluded that the
FY17 yield shortfall was attributable to these
abnormal conditions. It should be noted that
the development of Select Harvests young
orchard toward maturity, combined with the
high-performance input program, will deliver
greater than 50% volume growth over the
next 8 years.
Food Division
the Food Division produced an FY2017
ebIt of A$8.0 million, down on FY2016 ebIt
of A$10.3 million. the drop was driven by
commodity price decreases passed onto
our customers and reduced volumes in the
Consumer business mainly relating to retailer
brand contracts, while the consumer sales
channel has achieved growth in export. the
lucky brand maintained a strong share in
the Cooking and baking category as market
leader with 38.4% market share (source:
IRI Aztec 18 June 2017). Sunsol Cereal
products sales grew by over 35%. export
sales continue to grow in both the Industrial
and Consumer packaged Food Divisions.

ben brown (previously Horticulture
Manager) has been promoted to Acting

Board Membership
During the year, Ross Herron was appointed
to fill a casual vacancy on the board – he
will retire from the board at the 2017 AGM.
Ross has been a significant contributor over
his nearly 12 years as a Director of Select
Harvests. As Head of the Audit and Risk
Committee, Ross has provided invaluable
leadership in the areas of governance,
finance and strategic planning. on behalf
of the board and shareholders, I would like to
acknowledge and thank him wholeheartedly
for his efforts, his counsel and his valued
direction of the business.
on 6 July 2017, Fiona bennett joined the
Select Harvests board. Fiona is a Chartered
Accountant and senior executive with over
30 years’ experience in business and financial
management, corporate governance,
risk management and audit. Fiona is an
experienced company director and currently
serves as Chairman of the Audit and Risk
Committee at Hills limited, as Chairman of
Audit at beach energy limited and as Chair
of the Victorian legal Services board. We
welcome Fiona to the Select Harvests board.
Market Outlook
the world demand for almonds and plant
protein has continued to increase with
further supporting research being published,
outlining the health benefits of the increased
consumption of plant protein products such as
almonds. the impact on consumption of this
research and lower prices has been immediate,
absorbing the increased production from
California and Australia. While the 2017 uS
almond crop is expected to be a record
2.25 billion pounds (up 110 million pounds
or 5% on the prior year), shipments of the 2016
crop were 2.10 billion pounds (up 290 million
pounds or 16% on prior year). this momentum
is reinforced with the Almond board of
California’s August 2017 position Report
showing that forward commitments for August
2017 are up 40% on August 2016. the high level
of commitments, strong shipments and with
almonds currently positioned as the cheapest
tree nut, has stimulated demand, which should
lead to a further strengthening of prices.
Safety & Wellbeing
Select Harvests number one objective is to
ensure the safety of our people, by preventing
injuries before they occur.
Agriculture is one of Australia’s most
dangerous industries. the Select Harvests
Zero Harm Safety and Wellbeing strategy
is to improve our safety performance by
25% per annum until we operate in a zero
harm environment. It is a companywide
strategy that involves all stakeholders.
pleasingly this year we exceeded our
Medically treated Injury Frequency Rates
(MtIFR) objective with MtIFR reducing
by greater than 25%.
Sustainability
During the year Select Harvests launched
our inaugural Sustainability Report. We had
no environmental breaches and implemented
a number of sustainability initiatives, including
our first off-grid solar powered farm hub,
investing in low-friction irrigation and
energy efficient pumping technology plus
the installation of a worm farm converting
operational waste into liquid fertiliser.
Recognising our role in regional Australia
the company and its employees participate
in several community events, including the
Mallee Almond blossom Festival and ongoing
sponsorship of local community groups,
school and clubs.
Management Restructure
As a result of an organisational review
and recent resignations, a number of
changes have been made to the executive
Management team.
paul Chambers, CFo and Company Secretary
has resigned effective 8 november 2017.
– the search for a new CFo has commenced
and is well-advanced.

Strategy
our almond orchards, valued-added
processing capability, brands and people
remain the backbone of delivering
this strategy.
We have continued to execute our strategy
to capitalise on the increasing consumption
of plant based foods. Recent research
and consumer behaviour have continued
to support the acceleration of this trend
with increased consumption of tree nuts
and plant based foods globally.
our strategy is based around 8 core strategic
objectives – to grow the almond portfolio,
improve yield & crop value, be best in class
supply chain, invest in the industrial & trading
division, strengthen packaged food business,
fix our systems and processes, seek non
organic growth and finally engage with
our people and stakeholders.
With capital invested, assets in place and
the growth platform established the key
priority of management is to control our
cost and become as efficient as possible
and maximise profitability.
Thankyou
this year has had its challenges, but the
core fundamentals of our business and our
industry remain strong. the capital intensive
asset development phase of our orchard
growth objective is nearing completion.
the outlook for Select Harvests is extremely
positive with our orchards, integrated
processing facilities and brands positioned
to take advantage of the healthy eating
megatrend of increasing consumption
of plant based high protein foods and drinks.
to all of our stakeholders in this business,
shareholders, suppliers and our loyal,
diligent, passionate and hardworking
employees – we would like to thank you
for your support. We are building a strong,
safe and resilient almond based food
business with great people, great assets
and cost-efficient operations and we are
glad to have you with us.

www.selectharvests.com.auThe Almond Division produced a
disappointing result with FY17 Reported
EBIT of A$13.7 million, compared to
FY16 Reported EBIT of A$44.6 million and
FY16 Underlying EBIT of A$36.1 million.
Almond price and currency had a major
impact, although there were a range
of contributing factors that impacted
the result.
the company has sold or committed for
sale 72% of the 2017 crop at an average price
of A$7.91/kg (AuD/uSD exchange rate
of 0.75). the FY17 almond price estimate
of A$7.43/kg (FY2016 A$8.08/kg) will depend
on the selling price of the remaining crop
(which includes lower grade product)
and the exchange rate achieved.
the 2017 crop volume was 14,100 Mt,
compared to 2016 crop of 14,200 Mt.
like most of the Australian Almond industry,
we experienced a much wetter spring
and cooler summer, which had a negative
impact on the crop.
the combination of lower crop price and
volume than FY2016 (impact –A$10.0 million).
Sales of the 2015 and 2016 crops realised
at lower prices than previous estimates
(impact –A$6.1 million).
orchard lease costs increased due to the
market revaluation of the almond orchards
leased from Rural Funds Management
(impact –A$4.9 million).
orchard costs/hectare remained flat, but
orchard costs increased due to additional
area of immature trees coming into production
(impact –A$2.3 million). As these trees
incrementally mature each year, the yields
will increase and they will make a positive
contribution.

Select Harvests Annual Report 2017
Food Division

the wet and mild growing conditions
in 2017 resulted in increased harvest costs
due to a higher level of tree reshaking
(impact –A$0.9 million) to remove any
remaining nuts from trees, ensuring
optimal orchard hygiene and mitigating
against insects and diseases.
Increased development fee income and
government grants (impact +A$4.9 million).
Almond processing and almond hull
sales, the net cost was higher than
anticipated, partly due to energy cost
increases and lower returns from hull due
to the good winter rains, depressed state
of the dairy industry affecting both price
and demand (impact –A$1.5 million).
During the year, we acquired Jubilee orchards
near Waikerie, South Australia, comprising
465 planted Ha (1,147 planted acres) – 320 Ha
(792 acres) bearing, 145 Ha (355 acres)
non-bearing and 1,335 Ml of high security
water entitlements for A$26.4 million.
In July 2016 we planted out 844 Ha
(2,084 acres) of new almond orchards on
properties funded via the lease agreement
with First State Super (“FSS”).

the global almond market is continuing
to absorb the increased global supply
of almonds – in fact over the last 12 months
the uS crop increased by 5% (or 110 million
pounds) while uS shipments increased
by 16% (290 million pounds).
Select Harvests has continued to invest
in orchard expansion (greenfield plantings
and orchard acquisitions) through the
low point of the almond pricing cycle and
as at october 2017 we now have 7,490 Ha
(18,500 acres) of planted almond orchards.
Consistent with our strategic plan, we have
built a global scale, critical mass of almonds
and a world-class, allergen free, integrated
almond processing and value-adding
facility, making Select Harvests not only
one of the largest producers of almonds
in the world, but one of the best.
The Food Division delivered an FY2017
EBIT of A$8.0 million, down on FY2016
EBIT of A$10.3 million.
Commodity price and currency had a major
impact on Industrial & private label sales
contracts as commodity price decreases
were passed onto customers in the Industrial
and trading business.
the Consumer business experienced
reduced volumes, mainly relating to retailer
brand contracts.
the Consumer sales channel has achieved
growth in export and maintained a strong
share in branded product, despite a tough
pricing environment in this segment.
lucky remains the Cooking and baking
nut market leader with 38.4% market share
(Source: IRI Aztec 18 June 2017), down from
prior year due to private label competition.
new products now make up 16.5% of sales
driven by Sunsol, lucky “entertainers” and
“topperz”, and nuVitality.
During the year we commenced China
Consumer packaged products sales. this
is a small beginning, but we are positioning
to supply the projected increase in Chinese
consumption of Australian almonds.
there is growing awareness of the new
allergen-free Almond Value-Adding Facility
(project parboil) being in production and we
are getting strong interest in both the local
and export market for its products. It brings
significant quality assurance improvements,
productivity enhancements, cost savings and
increased capacity. It neatly complements the
global scale almond orchards with in-house
access to a world class, value-added, fully
integrated almond processing capability that
will enhance our ability to supply high quality
almond products to our customers around
the world.

to the executive team during the year.
We celebrate cultural diversity through events

event supports our people by bringing a dish
of traditional food and dressing in traditional
cultural outfits. Its popularity attracts great
engagement and participation company-
wide, reinforcing our importance of inclusion
and diversity in the workplace.
During the year there has been a 6% increase
in female representation at board & Senior
executive level.
on 6 July 2017, we welcomed Fiona bennett to
our board of Directors – Fiona is an experienced
company director with a background in financial
management, corporate governance, risk
and audit – her appointment takes female
representation on the board to 25%.

concluded that our female representation
is 2.8% better than industry average with
females accounting for 30% of SHV’s

Select Harvests is making tangible progress
towards achieving its safety goals.
Sustainability & Environment
Select Harvests seeks to operate its business
in a sustainable manner, based around 3
platforms – environmental, Social/Wellbeing
and Financial.
In recognition of the importance of
sustainability in our business, we produced
our first Sustainability Report in 2016/17 which
is now available in the Sustainability section
of our website (http://selectharvests.com.au/
sustainability).
While energy, water and bees are key areas
of focus, we seek out sustainable solutions
to challenges across our business.
We aim to recycle and maximise the benefits
of waste/by-product wherever we can.
We have recently installed a worm farm to
convert almond waste into worm castings.
the combination of worm castings and
waste water produces a natural fertiliser that
can be used to support the growth of the
almond orchards. Sustainability is simply good
business sense.
As our farms and processing facilities are
significant users of energy, developing ways to
reduce our power costs are both economically
imperative and environmentally sensible.
project H2e will turn almond by-product (hull,
shell and orchard prunings) into cost-efficient
energy that we can use to reduce our reliance
on increasingly expensive power supplied from
the grid. project H2e will generate enough
electricity to power the Carina West processing
Facility as well as nearby pumps for the Carina
orchard. project H2e will reduce our carbon
footprint (by 27%), taking the equivalent of
8,210 cars per annum off the road.
Select Harvests is a significant, long term user
of water. We recognise water as a critically
important input into our business that is a scarce
and finite resource, although one that is also
subject to variability across seasons and cycles.
our water strategy is dedicated to securing our
significant water needs at the most efficient price
over the long term. Adoption of industry best
practice irrigation systems and management
techniques is an important part of the application
of this strategy. Delivering the right amount of
water demanded by the trees in the orchard,
at the right time, not only saves money, it also
prevents drainage of excess water into the
water table. through strategy, infrastructure
and management, we seek to conserve, recycle
and save water wherever possible.
Select Harvests is dependant on bees to
pollinate its orchards. We are active in the
bee and pollination industries and show our
support through a range of measures including
industry advocacy (sponsorship/support of
associations, committees & conferences),
on-farm bee husbandry (alternative forage
crops, water availability at hive sites, avoidance
of weedicide sprays in presence of bees, spray
diaries, hive inspections, disease monitoring)
and industry R&D projects.
Sustainability generates value for our
shareholders.

finanCial review
Highlights and Key
developments during the year
The financial year ended 30 June 2017
has been challenging for Select Harvests,
although the business fundamentals are
positive and the Company continues to
expect strong growth in the long term.
The focus this year by the Board, Executive
Management and employees, has been on
continuing to grow the almond orchard foot
print, progressing significant capital projects,
while continuing to strengthen the Food
Division. The Company acquired 1,147acres
(464Ha) of orchards in South Australia for
consideration of $24.9 million during the year.
2,084 acres (844 Ha) of new almond orchards
have been planted out on Select Harvests
owned and leased orchards in Victoria and
South Australia. Over $12.8 million has been
invested in the construction of the new
cogeneration plant and value added
processing facility at Carina West, both
of which will be commissioned in FY18.

The adjustment to the reported Almond division EBIT in FY16 relates to gains on asset sales of $8.5 million and related tax effect, to exclude these costs from the underlying EBIT
in the period.
Any further commentary set out below reviews divisional performance on a like for like basis, taking into account the adjustment referred to above.
Select Harvests Annual Report 201721
almond division profitability
Revenues of $120.7 million, compared to
$161.2 million in 2016. The decrease in
revenues was driven by the realised sales
of the 2016 and 2017 crop in the financial year,
with comparable volumes at almond prices
lower than the average achieved in the
previous financial year.
Underlying EBIT is $13.7 million which
compares to underlying EBIT of $36.1 million
last year. This result is driven by the valuation
of the 2017 crop, based on a yield of 14,100 MT
and an almond price projection of $7.43/kg
compared to higher prices of the 2016 crop
estimated at 30 June 2016, plus the impact
of realised sales of the 2016 crop during FY17
at lower prices than previously estimated.
Higher orchard lease costs and harvest costs
have also contributed to the lower EBIT.
food division profitability
Revenues of $146.9 million compare to
$161.8 million in 2016, a decrease of 9.3%. EBIT
of $8.0 million, compares to $10.3 million in 2016.
The decrease in revenues and EBIT is driven by
the lower almond price in FY17 impacting sales
to industrial food manufacturers as commodity
price decreases were passed on, offset to an
extent by strong returns from branded product
sales. The consumer sales channel has achieved
growth in export and maintained share in
branded product, despite a tough pricing
environment in this segment.
interest expense
Interest expense has decreased to $5.0 million in
FY17 compared to $5.5 million in FY16, with lower
debt levels maintained in the first half of the year.
balance sheet
Net assets at 30 June 2017 are $277.6 million,
compared to $290.9 million last year.
The balance sheet includes the impact of
$58.8 million of investing cash outflows
resulting from the acquisition of the Jubilee
Orchard, expenditure on major projects
and orchard development costs.
Net working capital has decreased by 7.4%.
As summarised below, the main decrease
relates to the value of inventory, which
comprises the fair value of the unsold 2017
almond crop, which is lower than the value
of the 2016 crop for the corresponding period
last year, due to the impact of the lower
almond price valuation.

cash flow and Net bank debt
Net bank debt at 30 June 2017 was
$145.8 million (including finance lease
commitments of $41.4 million), with a gearing
ratio (net bank debt/equity) of 52.5%.
Operating cash inflow in the financial year
is $4.7 million, compared to $92.9 million last
year. The decrease in operating cash inflow
is mainly driven by the cash flows derived
from the proceeds on selling through the
2016 crop, and sales to date of the 2017 crop
compared to the higher sales value in 2016.
Investing cash outflows of $56.8 million
are primarily a result of the acquisition
of the Jubilee Orchard, investment in
the cogeneration plant and new almond
value added production facility and new
orchard developments.
dividends
A nil final dividend has been declared,
resulting in a total dividend of 10 cents per
share for the financial year. This compares to
a total dividend of 46 cents per share in FY16.

ltifr (lost time injury frequency rate):
We have achieved a 42% reduction over 3
years in LTIFR which measures the number
of lost time injuries per million hours worked.
Pleasingly we have seen a reduction in both
severity and lost time by 51% compared to
FY 2016. This can be attributed to our process
improvements in:
• Leadership safety education
• Health and wellbeing
• Acceleration of return to work and
proactive injury management
approaches and
• Hazard and near miss reporting campaign
mtifr (medically treated injury
frequency rate):
We have exceeded our target with a 53%
reduction in MTIFR which measures the
number of medically treated injuries per
million hours worked. In addition, the severity
of injuries is lessening which can be attributed
to accurate diagnosis of injury classifications,
identifying root cause and corrective actions
taken to prevent reoccurrence.
ltisr (lost time injury severity rate):
Pleasingly, we achieved a 19% reduction in
LTISR which measures the lost time injury
severity rate, indicating the severity of our
injuries is lessening. This is a result of our
hazard reporting campaign and injury
management culture in supporting employees
to return to work through ongoing
communication, offering modified work
duties and partnerships with insurers and
rehabilitation providers.

on-going reduction is positive, we will
continue to improve on our safety strategy
activities in pursuit of achieving a zero-harm
working environment.
Overall, we are performing well against our
targets and our strategy. This progress has
been achieved through the following:
•
Independent Safety audits have been
completed across our business
• A company wide safety survey was
completed, with action items identified
to address key priority areas
• High priority safety audit
recommendations are being addressed
• A company-wide safety manual review
is being developed
• Education focused on manual handling and
wellbeing, with annual refresher training to
be provided
• Review and update of our Equal
Employment Opportunity, Anti-
Discrimination, Harassment and Bullying
Policy and training
•
•
Individual health assessments conducted
Installation of ergonomic equipment
to increase productivity and minimise
manual handling
• Quarterly injury management reviews to
develop training and plans in conjunction
with our health and wellbeing partnerships
Community
In addition to our direct employment
opportunities, we continue to play an
important role in our ongoing efforts to
improve our rural and regional communities
through Select Harvests’ annual community
grants donation program. Our partnerships
with community organisations support the
engagement and creation of a sustainable
future workforce.
This year we have donated in excess of
$40,000 to over 40 organisations including
schools, clubs, sports teams and local
community groups to improve and upgrade
their infrastructure and facilities and to
promote various activities and events.
Some examples of the support we have
provided include the following:
• Our ongoing strategic partnership with
Robinvale College through the provision of
an annual breakfast sponsorship program
• Our annual Mallee Almond Festival
sponsorship
• Foodbank Victoria
• Partnership with the Clontarf Foundation
(a charitable, not-for-profit organisation
which exists to improve the education,
disciplines, life skills, self-esteem and
employment prospects of young
Aboriginal men)

importance of managing a balanced profile. This
mitigates risk exposure including drought periods
and high market prices. This strategy is reviewed
annually which accounts how various factors
may affect the future years’ strategy based on
projected climate outlook and market trends.
sustainability and environment
energy savings
Select Harvests aims to operate a sustainable
business on the basis of 3 platforms:
environmental, social/wellbeing and financial
benefits. These will generate value for our
shareholders, customers, consumers and the
communities in which we operate.
We are cognisant of the potential impact of
climate change on the suite of risks being
managed in our business. For more
information on our economic, environmental
and social risks, we are pleased to present
these in our first Sustainability report which
can be accessed via our website.
A summary of our environmental water,
energy consumption and bee pollination
practices are outlined below.
We remain committed to preserving native
vegetation and wildlife through our wildlife
management plan and fulfil our requirements
around licencing as required. We are pleased
to report that we have had nil environmental
breaches in the last year.
We are a signatory of the National Packaging
Industry Covenant, which aims to deliver more
sustainable packaging, increased recycling
rates and reduced litter. Our office and farm
waste is recycled where appropriate and we
sell almond hull to the stockfeed industry.
We have installed a worm farm to convert
almond waste from the Carina West
Processing Facility into worm castings.
In combination with waste water, it produces
a clear, natural liquid fertiliser to be disposed
sub soil back into the almond orchard.
Water
Water is a scarce and finite resource which
remains a high priority for Select Harvests.
We are continuing to employ a number of
efforts to manage our utilisation. This includes
installing best practice irrigation systems to
deliver water efficiently with reduced system
drainage and impact to water tables, our
orchard management team reviewing and
agreeing the irrigation and fertigation
application on a weekly basis, the efficient
application of fertiliser, product stocktakes and
internal audits by our Technical department.
Given almonds are a long term investment,
to enable a secure supply, we have developed
a diverse water strategy. This analyses risks
Our largest energy saving initiative remains
Project H2E, the biomass electricity
co-generation plant which will now become
operational in FY18. Consuming almond
by-product (including hull, shell and orchard
waste), Project H2E will generate enough
electricity to power the Carina West
Processing Facility as well as nearby pumps
for the Carina Orchard.
When Project H2E is operational it will deliver
a carbon footprint reduction of 27% – the
equivalent to removing 8,210 cars off the road.
pollination management
Our almond orchards are 100% pollination
dependent. Therefore, the key challenges and
risks in bee stewardship centre on crop safety
and optimum bee health. Other critical
components to ensuring maximum yield
include successful cross-pollination, avoiding
bloom pathogens (disease causing fungi) and
maintaining strong relationships with our hive
brokers. This generates productive
relationships with apiarists to supply
a pollination service.
We play an active role within the bee and
pollination industries including the
sponsorship and support for apiary
associations, participation and presentation
at conferences, industry R&D projects,
committees and meetings.
Our ongoing advocacy and bee stewardship
practices continue with the supply of
alternative forage sources for bees, provision
of water at hive sites to aid bee hydration,
avoidance of weedicide spraying when hives
are present, audited spray diaries and ongoing
hive inspections to monitor for disease, hive
strength and orchard retention.
risk management
It is a policy of Select Harvests to ensure that
a formal risk management process is in place
to identify, analyse, assess, manage and monitor
risks throughout all parts of the business.
The Company maintains and refreshes its detailed
risk register annually. The register provides a
framework and benchmark against which risks are
reported on at different levels in the business,
with a bi annual report presented to the Board.
During this financial year a number of specific
risks have been focussed on, being:
• Safety (including employee safety and
fire prevention);
• Horticultural Risks (including climatic,
disease, water management, pollination,
and quality); and
• Processing and manufacturing Risks
(including product quality, utilities supply,
major equipment failure).
The Company continues to focus on product
quality with process improvements and capital
investments being made, both on farm and
at the processing facilities to mitigate risks
associated with inventory management from
harvest through to consumer.
Managing financial risks, including exposure
to currency volatility has once again been a
key focus area for management and the Board.
outlook
The horticultural program for the 2018 crop
is well underway and the trees have received
sufficient chill hours through the dormancy
period. We are in the early stage of pollination
so it is yet to be assessed. Based on industry
average yields and the age profile of the
orchards, and assuming normal growing
conditions for the season, the Select Harvests
2018 theoretical crop would be approximately
15,000MT – 16,000MT. USD almond pricing is
currently steady based on an estimated US
crop of 2.25 billion pounds.
The business will be focused on productivity
improvements from our existing asset base
and new investments. Improved yield, quality,
sales mix and cost out continues to be an
absolute priority. The Parboil processing
facility will be commissioned in the first
quarter of FY2018 and focus in this area will
then shift to maximising the opportunities it
offers. Commissioning of the cogeneration
plant remains a key priority for the business,
along with the management of our new
almond orchard plant outs.
The Food Business will continue the strategy to
enter new markets and channels, including the
launch of new products and innovations. The
expansion of export sales in particular through
continuing to develop distribution and
marketing models in China, is a strategic priority.
The medium and long term fundamentals of
our industry and business are strong. There is
increasing demand from consumers and industry
for plant protein product, in both developed and
developing economies. The Select Harvests’
strategy continues to be to minimise risk, invest
in productive, long term growth assets and major
cost out initiatives and value adding brands.

at the consolidated entity level, divisional
level, or functional level, as applicable, for
the financial year.

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for assessing whether the targets are met. Financial performance conditions are determined on an underlying results basis.
Underlying EPS is basic EPS adjusted for the impact of underlying adjustments which is consistent with guidance for underlying measures as issued by the Australian Institute
of Company Directors and Financial Services Institute of Australasia in March 2009 and ASIC Regulator Guide RG230 ‘Disclosing Non-IFRS financial information’.
*** Of the peer group of ASX listed companies.

The STI is usually paid in September following determination of the STI entitlement, so the above STI payment amounts represent an accrual
in relation to the current financial performance year, which will be paid in the following financial year, plus any over or under accrual of the prior
year following STI entitlement.
The STI program is also available to a select group of other key senior managers within the business.

notes
The elements of remuneration have been determined on the basis of the cost to the consolidated entity.
Performance rights granted have been independently valued using the Black Scholes simulation option pricing model, which takes account of
factors such as the exercise price of the rights, the current level and volatility of the underlying share price and the time to maturity of the rights.
The amount shown here is an accounting expense and reflects the value as determined using this model. The value is expensed over the vesting
period of the rights.

The LTI Plan provides for the offer of a parcel of performance rights with a three year performance period to participating employees. The rights
vest at the end of the three year period on achievement of the performance hurdles.
Performance rights are granted under the plan for no consideration. The plan rules contain a restriction on removing the ‘at risk’ aspect of the
instruments granted to executives. Plan participants may not enter into any transaction designed to remove the ‘at risk’ aspect of an instrument
before it vests.

The asset revaluation reserve was previously used to record increments and decrements in the value of non-current assets. This revaluation reserve is no longer in use given
assets are now recorded at cost.
(ii) options reserve
The options reserve is used to recognise the fair value of performance rights granted and expensed but not exercised.
(iii) cash flow hedge reserve
The cash flow hedge reserve is used to record gains or losses on the fair value movements in the interest rate swap and foreign currency contracts in a cash flow hedge that
are recognised directly in equity.
The above statement of changes in equity should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notes.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Notes to the Financial Statements
1. summary of signifiCant
aCCounting poliCies
The principal accounting policies adopted
in the preparation of these consolidated
financial statements are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied
to all the years presented, unless otherwise
stated. The financial statements are for the
Company consisting of Select Harvests
Limited and its subsidiaries.
(a) basis of preparation
This general purpose financial report has
been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards, other authoritative
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting
Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group
Interpretations and the Corporations Act
2001. Select Harvests Limited is a for profit
entity for the purpose of preparing the
financial statements.
Compliance with ifrs
The consolidated financial statements of the
Select Harvests Limited group comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been
prepared under the historical cost
convention, as modified by the revaluation
of available-for-sale financial assets, financial
assets and liabilities (including derivative
instruments) at fair value through the income
statement, biological assets, and certain
classes of property, plant and equipment.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with AIFRS requires the use of
certain critical accounting estimates. It also
requires management to exercise its
judgement in the process of applying the
Company’s accounting policies. The areas
involving a higher level of judgement or
complexity, or areas where assumptions
and estimates are significant to the financial
statements are disclosed in Note 2.
banking covenants
Prior to 30 June 2017 the Company received
a conditional amendment to certain of its
banking facility covenants from its lenders
for the 30 June 2017 measurement period.
As the amendment was conditional on the
agreement of revised covenants and terms
the total debt facility drawn has been disclosed
as a current liability. These revisions have now
been agreed and are in place with lenders. The
changes include a revision to existing financial
covenants relating to debt serviceability,
gearing and assessment periods.
The Board and Management will continue
to closely monitor the results and forecast
against the covenants and believe that the
company should be in a position to take any
appropriate and necessary action with a view
to ensuring that no covenants are breached.
The immediate priority for the business will
be to reduce operational expenditure,
working capital and capital expenditure
and to proactively investigate a number
of debt reduction initiatives.
new and amended standards
Certain new accounting standards and
interpretations have been published that are
not mandatory for the 30 June 2017 reporting
period. The Company’s assessment of the
impact of these new standards and
interpretations is set out below.
(i) aasb 9 financial instruments
(effective from 1 January 2018)
AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses
the classification, measurement and
derecognition of financial assets and financial
liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge
accounting. The standard is not applicable
until 1 January 2018 but is available for early
adoption. The Company is yet to assess its
full impact and has not yet decided when
to adopt AASB 9.
(ii) aasb15 revenue from contracts with
customers (effective from 1 January 2017)
The new standard is based on the principle
that revenue is recognised when control of
a good or service transfers to a customer –
so the notion of control replaces the existing
notion of risks and rewards. The standard is
not applicable until 1 January 2018 but is
available for early adoption. The Company
is yet to assess its full impact and has not yet
decided when to adopt AASB 15.
(iii) aasb 16 leases (effective from
1 april 2019)
The standard was released on 23 February
2016 and will primarily affect the accounting
treatment of leases by lessees and will result
in the recognition of almost all leases on the
balance sheet. The current standard removes
the current distinction between operating
and financing leases and requires recognition
of an asset (the right to use the leased item)
and a financial liability to pay rentals for almost
all lease contracts. The Company is yet to
assess its full impact and has not yet decided
when to adopt AASB 16.
(iv) aasb 2016-1: amendments to australian
accounting standards – aasb 112 income taxes
The amendments to AASB 112 clarify the
accounting for deferred tax where an asset
is measured at fair value and that fair value
is below the asset’s tax base. They do not
change the underlying principles for the
recognition of deferred tax assets.
The amendments are effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017.
Earlier application is permitted. The changes
must be adopted retrospectively.
(v) aasb 2017-2: amendments to australian
accounting standards – annual
improvements to australian accounting
standards 2014-2016 cycle
This standard is applicable from annual
reporting periods beginning on or after
1st January 2017. The annual improvements
project makes minor but necessary annual
amendments to various accounting standards.
This amendment clarifies that the disclosure
requirements of AASB 12 apply to interests in
entities that are classified as held for sale,
except for the requirement to disclose
summarised financial information.
(vi) aasb 2016-2: amendments to australian
accounting standards – disclosure initiative:
amendments to aasb 107
The amendment requires disclosure of
changes arising from cash flows, such as
drawdowns and repayments of borrowings,
and non-cash changes, such as acquisitions,
disposals and unrealised exchange differences.
The amendment is effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017.
Earlier application is permitted.
There are no other standards that are not
yet effective and that are expected to have a
material impact on the entity in the current or
future reporting periods and on foreseeable
future transactions.

aCCounting poliCies
(CONTINUED)
(b) principles of consolidation
(d) comparatives
Where necessary, comparatives have been
reclassified and repositioned for consistency
with current year disclosures.
(i) subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including
structured entities) over which the group
has control. The group controls an entity
when the group is exposed to, or has rights
to, variable returns from its involvement with
the entity and has the ability to affect those
returns through its power to direct the
activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date on which
control is transferred to the group. They
are deconsolidated from the date that
control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and
unrealised gains on transactions between
group companies are eliminated. Unrealised
losses are also eliminated unless the transaction
provides evidence of an impairment of the
transferred asset. Accounting policies of
subsidiaries have been changed where
necessary to ensure consistency with the
policies adopted by the group.
(c) foreign currency translation
(i) functional and
presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements
of each entity comprising the Company are
measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity
operates (“the functional currency”). The
consolidated financial statements are
presented in Australian dollars, which is the
functional and presentation currency of
Select Harvests Limited.
(ii) transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated
into the functional currency using the
exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and
losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and from the translation at year
end exchange rates of monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are recognised in the income statement,
except when deferred in equity as qualifying
cash flow hedges.
(e) rounding
The amounts contained in this report and in
the financial report have been rounded to the
nearest $1,000 (where rounding is applicable)
under the option available to the Company
under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in
Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument
2016/191. The Company is an entity to which
the Class Order applies.
(f) parent entity
financial information
The financial information for the parent entity,
Select Harvests Limited, disclosed in Note 27
has been prepared on the same basis as the
consolidated financial statements, except as
set out below.
(i) investments in subsidiaries
and associates
Investments in subsidiaries and associates
are accounted for at cost in the financial
statements of Select Harvests Limited.
2. CritiCal aCCounting
estimates anD JuDgements
Estimates and judgements are continually
evaluated and are based on historical
experience and other factors.
critical accounting estimates and
assumptions
The Company makes estimates and
assumptions concerning the future.
The resulting accounting estimates will,
by definition, seldom equal the related actual
results. The estimates and assumptions that
have a risk of causing a material adjustment
to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year are
discussed below.
inventory – Current year
almond Crop
The current year almond crop is classified
as a biological asset and valued in accordance
with AASB 141 Agriculture. In applying this
standard, the consolidated entity has made
various assumptions at the balance date as
the selling price of the crop can only be
estimated and the actual crop yield will not
be known until it is completely processed
and sold. The assumptions are the estimated
average almond selling price at the point of
harvest of $7.43 per kg and almond yield based
on a crop estimate for the Company orchards
of 14,100mt.
fair value of acquired assets
In calculating the fair value of acquired assets,
in particular almond orchards, the Company
has made various assumptions. These include
future almond price, long term yield and
discount rates. The valuation of almond
trees is very sensitive to these assumptions
and any change may have a material impact
on these valuations.
Carrying value of intangible assets
The Group tests annually whether intangible
assets, have suffered any impairment, in
accordance with the accounting policy stated
in Note 13. The recoverable amounts of cash
generating units have been determined based
on value-in-use calculations.
Key assumptions and sensitivities are
disclosed in Note 13.
3. finanCial risK
management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of
financial risks: market risk (including currency
risk, interest rate risk and commodity price
risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group
uses different methods to measure different
types of risk to which it is exposed. These
methods include sensitivity analysis in the
case of interest rate risk, foreign exchange
and other price risks, and ageing analysis
for credit risk.
Risk management is carried out by
management pursuant to policies approved
by the Board of Directors.

Notes to the Financial Statements
3. finanCial risK management (CONTINUED)
(a) market risk
(i) foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not
the Company’s functional currency.
The Group sells both almonds harvested from owned orchards through the almond pool and processed products internationally in United States
dollars, and purchases raw materials and other inputs to the manufacturing and almond growing process from overseas suppliers predominantly
in United States dollars. The Group also acquires capital related items internationally in Euro.
Management and the Board review the foreign exchange position of the Group and, where appropriate, take out forward exchange contracts,
transacted with the Group’s bankers, to manage foreign exchange risk.
The exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date was as follows:

Based on financial instruments held at 30 June 2017, had the Australian dollar strengthened/weakened by 5% against the US dollar and the EUR,
with all other variables held constant, the Group’s post tax profit for the year would have been $938,000 lower/$1,037,000 higher (2016: $825,000
lower/$912,000 higher), mainly as a result of the US dollar denominated financial instruments as detailed in the above table. Equity would have
been $1,564,000 lower/$1,728,000 higher (2016: $1,555,000 lower/$1,719,000 higher), arising mainly from foreign forward exchange contracts
designated as cash flow hedges.
(ii) Cash flow interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from borrowings issued at variable rates, which exposes the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group’s
borrowings at variable interest rate are denominated in Australian dollars.
At the reporting date the Group had the following variable rate borrowings:

The Group analyses interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis in conjunction with the debt facility, cash flow and capital management. As part of
the Risk Management policy of Select Harvests Limited, the company has entered into an agreement to swap $27.5m (2016:Nil) of debt for 1 year and
$13.5m (2016:Nil) for 2 years at a rate of 1.69% and 1.77% respectively to reduce the risk that higher interest rate pose to the company’s cash flows.
Group sensitivity
At 30 June 2017, if interest rates had changed by +/– 25 basis points from the weighted average interest rate with all other variables held constant,
post tax profit for the year would have been $183,000 lower/higher (2016: $45,000 lower/higher).

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Trade receivables are carried at full amounts due less any provision for doubtful
debts. A provision for doubtful debts is recognised when collection of the full amount is no longer probable, and where there is objective
evidence of impairment, debts which are known to be non-collectible are written off immediately.
Amounts receivable from other debtors are carried at full amounts due. Other debtors are normally settled on 30 days from month end unless
there is a specific contract which specifies an alternative date. Amounts receivable from related parties are carried at full amounts due.
financial liabilities
The bank overdraft disclosed within interest bearing liabilities is carried at the principal amount and is part of the Net Cash balance in the
Statement of Cash Flows. Interest is charged as an expense as it accrues. Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods
and services received, whether or not billed to the Company.
Finance lease liabilities are accounted for in accordance with AASB 117 Leases.
(b) credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well
as exposure to wholesale, retail and farm investor customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.
The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products and services
are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. Derivative counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality
financial institutions.
The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due or impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available)
or to historical information about default rates. Given that the majority of income is derived from large, blue chip customers with no history
of default, the provision raised against receivables is deemed to be satisfactory.
The Group’s banking partners have long-term credit ratings of AA- and A+ (Standard and Poor’s).

(d) fair Value measurement
The fair value of certain financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets, such as foreign exchange hedge contracts and the interest rate swap, are based
on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price;
the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.
The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value
of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that
is available to the Company for similar instruments.
www.selectharvests.com.au48
Notes to the Financial Statements
3. finanCial risK management (CONTINUED)
Disclosures are required of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
(a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level one);
(b)
Inputs other than quoted prices included within level one that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly
(derived from prices) (Level two); and
(c)
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level three).
At 30 June 2017 the group’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value comprised the foreign exchange forward contracts
and interest rate swap derivative. Both are level 2 measurements under the hierarchy.
4. segment information

revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances,
and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
entity, the revenue can be reliably measured, and the risks and rewards have passed to the buyer. The following specific recognition criteria must
also be met before revenue is recognised:
sale of goods
Risk and reward for the goods has passed to the buyer.
management services
Management services revenue relates to services provided for the management and development of farms and is recognised as services
are provided.
interest
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the group reduces the carrying amount to
its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues
unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
almond pool revenue
Under contractual arrangements, the group acts as an agent for external growers by selling almonds on their behalf and does not make a margin
on those sales. These amounts are not included in the group’s revenue. However, the Company receives a marketing fee for providing this service.
As at 30 June 2017 the group held almond inventory on behalf of external growers which was not recorded as inventory of the Company.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
government grants
Government grants are assistance provided by the government in the form of transfers of resources to the Group in return for past or future
compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the consolidated entity.
Government grants relating to income are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs. Government
grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to
the Group with no future related costs are recognised as income of the period in which they become receivable.
Government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are deducted
from the carrying amount of the asset on the Balance sheet. The Grant is recognised in profit or loss over the life of the depreciable asset as a reduced
depreciation expense.

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate
adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or
liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative
amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain
temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these
temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either
accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts
will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in
controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the
differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.
(i) investment allowances and similar tax incentives
Companies within the group may be entitled to claim special tax deductions for investments in qualifying assets or in relation to qualifying
expenditure (eg the Research and Development Tax Incentive regime in Australia or other investment allowances). The group accounts for such
allowances as tax credits, which means that the allowance reduces income tax payable and current tax expense. A deferred tax asset is recognised
for unclaimed tax credits that are carried forward.

Notes to the Financial Statements
7. inCome taX (CONTINUED)
(ii) Goods and services tax (Gst)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
• Where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
• Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing
activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value except for almond stocks which are measured at fair value less estimated cost
to sell at the point of harvest, and subsequently at Net Realisable Value under AASB 102 Inventories.
Costs, incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition, are accounted for as follows:
• Raw materials and consumables: purchase cost on a first in first out basis;
• Finished goods and work in progress: cost of direct material and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal
operating capacity; and
• Almond stocks are valued in accordance with AASB 141 Agriculture whereby the cost of the non-living (harvested) produce is deemed to be
its net market value immediately after it becomes non-living. This valuation takes into account current almond selling prices and current
processing and selling costs.
• Other inventories comprise consumable stocks of chemicals, fertilisers and packaging materials.

(a) agriculture produce
growing almond crop
The growing almond crop is valued in accordance with AASB 141 Agriculture. The fair value amount is an aggregate of the fair valuation of the
current year almond crop and the reversal of the fair valuation of the prior year almond crop. The current year fair valuation takes into account
current almond selling prices and current growing, processing and selling costs. The calculated crop value is then discounted to take into account
that it is only partly developed, and then further discounted by a suitable factor to take into account the agricultural risk until crop maturity.

(i) derivatives
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair
value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so,
the nature of the item being hedged. The Company designates derivatives as either; (1) hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities
or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or (2) hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).
The Company documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk
management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at hedge
inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly
effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
(i) fair value hedge
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the income statement, together with
any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.
(ii) Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in equity in the
cash flow hedge reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement.
Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in the income statement in the periods when the hedged item will affect profit or loss (for instance
when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place). However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-
financial asset (for example, inventory) or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity
and included in the measurement of the initial cost or carrying amount of the asset or liability.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative
gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income
statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately
transferred to the income statement.

(ii) credit risk exposures
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets is
the carrying amount of those assets, net of any provisions for doubtful debts of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and Notes to the
financial statements.
Credit risk for derivative financial instruments arises from the potential failure by counterparties to the contract to meet their obligations at
maturity. The credit risk exposure to forward exchange contracts and the interest rate swap are the net fair values of these instruments.
The net amount of the foreign currency the Company will be required to pay or purchase when settling the brought forward exchange contracts
should the counterparty not pay the currency it is committed to deliver to the Company at balance date was USD $22,101,085 and EUR $439,568
(2016: USD USD $18,042,745; EUR $1,625,403).
The Company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into
by the Company.

Cost and valuation
All classes of property, plant and equipment are measured at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.
The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount
from those assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets’
employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised leased assets, but excluding freehold land water rights are
depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives to the entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
Bearer plants are assumed ready for use when a commercial crop is produced from the seventh year post planting. Leasehold improvements
are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The useful lives for each class of assets are:
Buildings:
Leasehold improvements:
Plant and equipment:
25 to 40 years
5 to 40 years
5 to 20 years
Leased plant and equipment:
5 to 10 years
Bearer plants

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect
the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.
finance leases
Leases which effectively transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item to the Company are
capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments and disclosed as plant and equipment under lease. A lease liability of equal
value is also recognised.
Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets and the lease term. Minimum lease payments
are allocated between interest expense and reduction of the lease liability with the interest expense calculated using the interest rate implicit in
the lease and charged directly to the income statement.
The cost of improvements to or on leasehold property is capitalised, disclosed as leasehold improvements, and amortised over the unexpired
period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is the shorter.

Brand name assets principally relate to the “Lucky” brand, which has been assessed as having an indefinite useful life. This assessment is based on the Lucky brand having been sold
in the market place for over 50 years, being a market leader in the cooking nuts category and remaining a heritage brand.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired
subsidiary/business at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently
if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Gains and
losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating
units for the purpose of impairment testing.
brand names
Brand names are measured at cost. Directors are of the view that brand names have an indefinite life. Brand names are therefore not depreciated.
Instead, brand names are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be
impaired, and are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
permanent water rights
Permanent water rights are recorded at historical cost. Such rights have an indefinite life, and are not depreciated. As an integral component
of the land and irrigation infrastructure required to grow almonds, the carrying value is tested annually for impairment. If events or changes
in circumstances indicate impairment, the carrying value is adjusted to take account of any impairment losses.
impairment of assets
Goodwill and other Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment.
Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment,
assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).
Select Harvests Annual Report 201759
13. intangibles (CONTINUED)
(a) impairment tests for goodwill and brand names
Goodwill is allocated to the Company’s cash-generating units (CGU) identified according to operating segment. The total value of goodwill and
brand names relates to the Food Products CGU. The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations which require
the use of assumptions. These calculations use cash flow forecasts based on financial projections by management covering a five year period
based on growth rates taking into account past performance and its expectations for the future. Assumptions made include that new product
development, enhanced marketing and market penetration and the exiting of lower margin business will improve EBIT over the forecast period.
Cash flow projections beyond the five year period are not extrapolated, but a terminal value is included in the calculations. A real pre-tax weighted
average cost of capital of 12.6% (2016:12.7%) has been used to discount the cash flow projections.
(b) impact of possible changes to key assumptions
The recoverable amount of the goodwill and brand names in the Food Division exceeds the carrying amount of goodwill at 30 June 2017.
A decrease of 10% in the projected annual cash flows, or an increase of 1% in the pre-tax discount rate of 12.6% does not result in an impairment
of the goodwill and brand names at 30 June 2017. These changes would be considered reasonably possible changes to the key assumptions.
(c) permanent water rights
The value of permanent water rights relates to the Almond Division Cash Generating Unit (CGU) and is an integral part of land and irrigation
infrastructures required to grow almond orchards. The fair value of permanent water rights is supported by the tradeable market value,
which at current market prices is in excess of book value.

borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the income statement over the
period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction
costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw
down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as
a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months
after the reporting period.
borrowing costs
Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and
prepare the asset for its intended use. All other borrowing costs, inclusive of all facility fees, bank charges, and interest, are expensed as incurred.
(a) security
Details of the security relating to each of the secured liabilities and further information on the bank overdrafts and bank facilities are set out in 15(c).
Finance lease is secured with plant and equipment and bearer plants with various leasing companies and First State Super respectively.
(b) interest rate risk exposures
Details of the Company’s exposure to interest rate changes on borrowings are set out in Note 3.
(c) assets pledged as security
The bank overdraft and debt facilities of the parent entity and subsidiaries are secured by the following:
(i)
A registered mortgage debenture is held as security over all the assets and undertakings of Select Harvests Limited and the entities
of the wholly owned group.
(ii) A deed of cross guarantee exists between the entities of the wholly owned group.

As indicated in note 1(a), at 30 June 2017 the Company received a conditional amendment to certain of its banking facility covenants from its
lenders for the 30 June 2017 measurement period. As this amendment was conditional on the agreement of revised covenants and terms the
total debt facility drawn of $102.5million has been disclosed as a current liability. Subsequent to year end, revisions have been agreed and are
in place with lenders. All other covenants and financial undertakings associated with the banking facilities have been met during the period

future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit
method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected
future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on national government bonds with terms to maturity and
currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

The Company offered employee participation in long term incentive schemes as part of the remuneration packages for the employees.
In determining the quantum of rights offered the board considers a number of factors including: the corporate strategy; the appropriate mix of
fixed and at risk remuneration; the fair value and face value of the rights; and the market relativity of employees with equivalent responsibilities.
The long term scheme involves the issue of performance rights to the employee, under the Long Term Incentive Plan. During the financial year,
performance rights granted during the 2013 and 2016 year were forfeited under this plan (refer Note 25 and Directors’ Report for further details).
The market value of ordinary Select Harvests Limited shares closed at $4.90 on 30 June 2017 ($6.74 on 30 June 2016).

long term incentive plan
The Group offers executive directors and senior executives the opportunity to participate in the long term incentive plan (LTI Plan) involving the
issue of performance rights to the employee under the LTI Plan. The LTI Plan provides for the offer of a parcel of performance rights with a three
year performance period to participating employees on an annual basis. One third of the rights vesting each year, with half of the rights vesting
upon achievement of underlying earnings per share (EPS) CAGR targets and the other half vesting upon achievement of total shareholder return
(TSR) targets. The underlying EPS growth targets are based on the CAGR of the company’s underlying EPS over the three years prior to vesting.
The TSR targets are measured based on the company’s average TSR compared to the TSR of a peer group of ASX listed companies over the three
years prior to vesting. The performance targets and vesting proportions are as follows:

share-based payments
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Select Harvests Limited Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP).
The fair value of performance rights granted under the Select Harvests Limited LTIP is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a
corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become
unconditionally entitled to the performance rights. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black Scholes option pricing
model that takes into account the term of the right, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and
expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the right. The fair value
of the performance rights granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions, but excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions
(for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of rights that
are expected to vest. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of rights that are expected to vest. The employee
benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any,
is recognised in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

(b) tax consolidation legislation
Select Harvests Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2003.
The head entity, Select Harvests Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax
amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a standalone taxpayer in its own right.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Select Harvests Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the
deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.
The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate Select Harvests Limited for
any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Select Harvests Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating
to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Select Harvests Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding
amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly-owned entities’ financial statements.
The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement is due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued
as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year.
The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments. The funding amounts
are recognised as current intercompany receivables or payables.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as current amounts receivable from
or payable to other entities in the group.
Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a
contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.
(c) Guarantees entered into by parent entity
Each entity within the consolidated group has entered into a cross deed of financial guarantee in respect of bank overdrafts and loans of the group.
Loans are made by Select Harvests Limited to controlled entities under normal terms and conditions.

in accordance with the Code.
Our audit approach
An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from
material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of the financial report.

Select Harvests Annual Report 201773
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an
opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management
structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates.
Select Harvests Limited is an Australian company listed on the ASX. Select Harvests Limited is one of
Australia’s largest almond growers and a manufacturer, processor and marketer of nut products,
health snacks and muesli.
Materiality
Audit scope
Key audit matters
As part of designing our audit,
we determined materiality and
assessed the risks of material
misstatement in the Group
financial report.
Amongst other relevant topics,
we communicated the following
key audit matters to the Audit
and Risk Committee:
– Inventory valuation –
Our audit focused on where the
almond crop
– Accounting for bearer plants
– Carrying value of intangible
assets
– Borrowings
– Capital projects
They are further described in
the Key audit matters section of
our report.
Group made subjective
judgements; for example,
significant accounting estimates
involving assumptions and
inherently uncertain future
events. One of the key areas in
this respect is the Group’s
inventory valuation.
Our audit mainly consisted of
procedures performed by the
audit engagement team at the
Thomastown head office in
Melbourne, with site visits to
the Carina West processing
facility and surrounding
orchards.
For the purpose of our audit,
we used overall group
materiality of $1.5m which
represents approximately 5% of
the Group’s three year average
profit before tax, and further
reduced for relevant factors
impacting the profit before tax
for the year ended 30 June
2017.
We applied this threshold,
together with qualitative
considerations, to determine
the scope of our audit and the
nature, timing and extent of
our audit procedures and to
evaluate the effect of
misstatements on the financial
report as a whole.
We chose group profit before
tax because, in our view, it is
the metric against which the
performance of the Group is
most commonly measured and
is a generally accepted
benchmark. A three year
average was used to address
volatility in the profit before
tax calculation caused by the
almond price and yield
fluctuations between years.
We selected 5% based on our
professional judgement, noting
that it is also within the range
of commonly acceptable profit
related thresholds.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
www.selectharvests.com.au74
Independent Auditor’s Report
not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a
particular audit procedure is made in that context.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Inventory valuation – almond crop
Refer to Critical accounting estimates and judgements
in note 2 to the financial report
The current year almond crop is classified by the Group
as a biological asset. Australian Accounting Standards
require agriculture produce (such as almonds) from an
entity’s biological assets to be measured at fair value
less costs to sell, at the point of harvest.
To measure these biological assets, the Group has made
various assumptions at the balance date as the actual
crop yield will not be known until it is completely
processed and the selling price of the crop can only be
estimated.
As outlined in Note 2 - Critical Accounting Estimates
and Judgements, the key assumptions are the
estimated average almond selling price at the point of
harvest of $7.43 per kg, crop estimate for the Group’s
orchards of 14,100mt based on estimated harvest yield,
quality and grade of the almonds, and the estimated
remaining cost of processing.
We believe this was a key audit matter because of its
financial significance to the Group’s assets, liabilities
and net profit at 30 June 2017 and the judgemental
nature of the key assumptions.
We performed a number of audit procedures in relation
to the Group’s valuation of the almond crop, including
the following:
Tested the almond crop on hand based on a
physical observation and sample testing performed
during the Group’s inventory stocktake at 30 June
2017.
Assessed the yield, quality and grade estimates of
unprocessed almonds based on (i) the experience
of the 2017 crop actually processed at 30 June
2017, and (ii) historical experience from prior
years.
Evaluated the Group’s ability to make estimates on
the fair value of almond crops by comparing prior
estimates to actual results with the benefit of
hindsight, including assessing the fair value
recognised at 31 December 2016 compared to
actual selling prices of the almond crop achieved in
the period to 30 June 2017. This included
comparing a sample of committed sales to
contracts and considering external spot price
information.
Considered sources of estimation uncertainty and
external factors, such as global almond prices,
global supply pressures and foreign exchange rate
assumptions with reference to external industry
information and market data.
Tested the costs of harvesting and processing the
almond crop during the period, and the allocation
to inventory at 30 June 2017.
Tested the mathematical accuracy of the Group’s
almond crop calculations.
We also evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made
in the financial statements at note 2 and note 10.
Accounting for bearer plants
Refer to note 12 to the financial report
The Group accounts for its Almond trees as Property,
Plant and Equipment, to be recorded at cost less
accumulated depreciation.
Under applicable accounting standards, the Group
capitalises growing and leasing costs proportionate to
maturity up to 7 years, when trees are deemed to reach
a mature commercial state. It is from this point that
depreciation would commence on a units of production
We performed a number of audit procedures in relation
to the Group’s accounting for bearer plants, including
the following:
Tested amount and nature of a sample of
growing costs capitalised during the year to
supporting purchase documentation for trees
with a maturity of up to 7 years old.
Tested a sample of the acquisition of trees
during the year to supporting purchase
documentation.
Select Harvests Annual Report 201775
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
method, reflecting the commencement of the revenue
stream from the trees. Depreciation is charged over 10
to 30 years depending on the maturity of the bearer
plant.
At 30 June 2017, carrying value of $115m of Property
Plant and Equipment related to trees against which
depreciation of $5.9m was charged during the year.
This was a key audit matter due to the significance of
the net book value to the Group’s balance sheet,
estimates and judgements regarding capitalisation and
depreciation, and complexities in accounting for
leasing arrangements.
Carrying value of intangible assets
Refer to Critical accounting estimates and judgements
in note 2 to the financial report
Evaluated the Group’s useful life assessment,
maturity of trees and yield profile
assumptions applied in the units of
production method for depreciation against
the 2017 crop processed to 30 June 2017 and
historical experience.
We also evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made
in the financial statements at note 12.
We performed a number of audit procedures in relation
to the Group’s assessment of the carrying value of
intangibles assets, including the following:
As required by Australian Accounting Standards, the
Group tests annually whether goodwill and other
intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life have
suffered any impairment. Impairment is recognised
where the estimated recoverable amount for each
division is less than the carrying amount of the
division’s intangible assets.
The Food Division has goodwill and brand names of
$29m. The recoverable amount of the Food Division is
estimated by the Group using a value-in-use discounted
cash flow model (the model). The model’s cash flows
are based on the Board approved Food Division budget.
Assumptions applicable to the model are described in
Note 13.
The Almond Division has permanent water rights
assets held at cost of $32m. The recoverable amount of
permanent water rights related to the Almond Division
is based on the current tradeable market value of the
rights.
This was a key audit matter due to the significant
carrying value of the Group’s intangible non-current
assets which are subject to the significant judgements
and assumptions outlined above in determining
whether any impairment of value has occurred.
Evaluated the Group’s cash flow forecasts for the
Food Division in the model and the process by
which they were developed with reference to
current year results, external industry information
and market data.
Checked that the forecast earnings were consistent
with the Board approved FY18 budget, and that the
key assumptions such as forecast growth and
discount rates were subject to oversight from the
directors.
Compared the previous year’s forecasts for FY2017
with the actual results for FY2017 to assess the
accuracy and reliability of forecasting.
Assessed the Group’s discount rate assumption,
including having regard to the inputs utilised in
the Group’s weighted average cost of capital such
as peer company betas, risk free rate and gearing
ratios, assisted by PwC valuation experts.
Considered the sensitivity of the calculations by
varying key assumptions such as forecast growth
and discount rates.
We compared the carrying amount of the permanent
water rights to tradeable market value.
We evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made in
the financial statements at note 2 and note 13.
www.selectharvests.com.au76
Independent Auditor’s Report
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
We obtained confirmations directly from the Group’s
banks to confirm the borrowings’ balance, tenure and
conditions.
We read the most up-to-date agreements between the
Group and its lenders to develop an understanding of
the terms associated with the facilities and the amount
of facility available for drawdown.
This included reviewing the conditional amendment
received by the Group prior to 30 June 2017 regarding
the banking facility covenants, and the revised
agreements entered into with lenders subsequent to
year end.
We evaluated whether the debt was classified in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and
we also evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made
in note 1(a) and note 15.
We performed a number of audit procedures in relation
to the Group’s capital projects, including the following:
Compared, on a sample basis, costs incurred to
supporting documentation and checked amounts
were appropriately capitalised.
Checked that the most recent project forecasts
were consistent with Board approved forecasts.
Considered sources of estimation uncertainty in
the project forecasts, such as electricity, hull and
labour price assumptions, and agreed these
assumptions to external market information,
where available.
Considered the impact of project overruns and
delays on project carrying values and checked that
the calculation of each project’s net present value
remained positive.
We also evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made
in the financial statements at note 12.
Borrowings
Refer to note 1a and note 15 to the financial report
There are external borrowings on the balance sheet at
30 June 2017 of $102.5m.
The Group received a conditional amendment to
certain of its banking facility covenants from its lenders
for the 30 June 2017 measurement period. As this
amendment was conditional on the agreement of
revised covenants and terms, the total debt facility
drawn has been disclosed as a current liability at 30
June 2017.
Given the financial significance of the borrowings
balance, the receipt of conditional amendments in
relation to the banking facility covenants requiring
subsequent agreement of revised covenants and terms,
the cyclical financing demands of the business and the
importance of capital for continued growth in support
of the Group’s strategy, the accounting for the Group’s
borrowings was considered a key audit matter.
Capital projects
Refer to reconciliation of the carrying amounts of
property, plant and equipment in note 12 to the
financial report
The Group has a capital works in progress balance of
$41m as at 30 June 2017. The most significant capital
projects within this balance which are currently being
implemented are:
Project H2E (Hull to Energy) – this is a Biomass
Cogeneration Power Plant Project that will use
almond hull and shell as a fuel source for
generating electricity and steam directly to the
Group’s Carina West manufacturing site.
Project Parboil (Almond Value-Add Production
Facility) - a state-of-the-art, fully integrated
almond processing facility at Carina West,
enabling the processing of blanched, roasted and
sliced almonds.
In accordance with the Group’s accounting policies, the
Group capitalises costs up to the commissioning date of
each project and then the costs will be depreciated over
the useful lives of the asset.
In order to assess the carrying value of each capital
project at 30 June 2017, the Group has prepared
discounted cash flow models that compare the forecast
capital expenditures with the projected cash flow
benefits from each project (the capex models).
Select Harvests Annual Report 201777
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
This was a key audit matter due to the financial
significance of capital expenditure made by the Group,
the number of judgements and assumptions required in
determining the related cash flows of each project,
delays in the completion of the projects from initial
estimates and forecast expenditure for each project that
have exceeded initial estimates.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information included in the Group’s
Annual Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2017 comprises the Director’s Report and ASX
Additional Information (but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon),
which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report. We expect other information to be made
available to us after the date of this auditor’s report, including Company Profile, Geographic Diversity,
Performance Summary, Strategy Explanation & Progress, Almond Division, Food Products Division,
People and Diversity, Communities, OH&S, Sustainability and Environment, Executive Team, Board
of Directors, Historical Summary, Financial Summary and Corporate Information.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not
express an opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, on the other information that we obtained prior to the date
of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we
are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
When we read the other information not yet received as identified above, if we conclude that there is a
material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and use
our professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take.
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent Auditor’s Report
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our
auditor’s report.
