RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
In the cautionary announcement released by the company on 8 March 2019, shareholders
were advised that the strategic and financial review had revealed certain practices requiring
further examination. The review of these practices is ongoing with considerable progress
being made to date.
The primary focus areas of the review include:
- the timing and recognition of land sales and the allocation of the related costs;
- the apportionment of revenue between land sales and the provision of infrastructure;
- the appropriateness of overhead costs capitalised to specific assets;
- the assumptions used in establishing the fair value of growing crops; and
- the assessment of various assets for impairment.
While the full impact of this review is still being determined, a restatement of prior financial
information is anticipated. This might have a material effect on the price of the company’s
securities.
We continue to engage in a collaborative process with our debt providers to ensure the
company’s long-term sustainability.
The implementation of a turnaround plan resetting the financial and commercial priorities,
streamlining and rationalising businesses, and revitalising the executive leadership team has
commenced. Meaningful progress has been made and the turnaround plan will be presented
to shareholders in a timely manner.
The Board is committed to finalising the 31 March 2019 audited annual financial statements
by end June 2019 and is cognisant of the need to keep our shareholders and key stakeholders
aligned to these developments.
Shareholders are advised to continue to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s
securities.
