SEEKA SIX MONTHS UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS

30 June 2021

Listed New Zealand produce company Seeka Limited, with operations in New Zealand and Australia, is pleased to report its

unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2021.

$30.8m net profit before tax - up 77% on six months to 30 June 2020 (previous corresponding period (pcp))

$0.13 per share dividend payable 13 October 2021

"Seeka delivered outstanding customer service and excellent financial results to shareholders in the first six months of 2021,"

says Seeka chief executive Michael Franks.

"Strong demand for our services contributed to record Group revenues of $224m in the six-month period ; up 26% on June

2020. Importantly, we've delivered on our strategy to improve earnings, posting $30.8m net profit before tax for the period, up

77% on the pcp.

"Seeka continues to invest in our kiwifruit business, acquiring Ōpōtiki Packing and Cool Storage Limited (OPAC) in May. OPAC is

an eight-million-tray kiwifruit operation that expands our service delivery to the Ōpōtiki, East Cape and Gisborne regions. OPAC

is now integrated, synergy savings on target, and the business is set to make a full-year financial contribution in 2022.

"We have also made a significant investment into agritech, taking a cornerstone stake in the digital startup Fruitometry. Seeka's

investment will accelerate the development of smart orchard scanning technology that will help lift orchard production and

realise supply chain efficiencies.

"Our New Zealand kiwifruit business is in a strong growth phase, and Seeka is investing $20m in capacity builds for harvest

2022, including a new automated packline and high-efficiency coolstores near Te Puke. These new facilities will improve labour

use while providing us with post harvest capacity through to 2024.

"Sustainability is a major focus and we are implementing strategies to minimise our environmental footprint. Our 2019 carbon

footprint has been independently verified, and we're defining performance baselines so we can set reduction targets and

measure efficiency gains. Seeka is working to be an industry leader on reporting the impact of climate change and we are

making real progress to reduce our emissions," says Franks.

Dividend announcement

A dividend of $0.13 per share has been declared. The dividend is fully imputed and will be paid 13 October 2021 to all

shareholders on the register at 5pm on 20 September 2021. The dividend reinvestment plan will apply.

Full year operational guidance

Seeka has substantially improved operational earnings in the period. Full-year net profit before tax (NPBT) is forecast to be

between $13.5m and $16.0m. This includes $1.4m of restructuring and acquisition costs, and excludes any one-off gains or

extraordinary items (should they settle in the year) and $1.8m of OPAC profit to the acquisition date (NPBT). Note that $9m of

pcp NPBT was from a gain on orchard sales.

Full year guidance

Further to the full year operational guidance of net profit before tax, Seeka expects a one-off extraordinary gain from the

successful settlement of the kiwifruit claim against the Crown. The actual amount to be received by Seeka is unknown with the

distribution subject to High Court approval, with the timing of payment expected to be received before the end of 2021. Seeka is

estimating that its share of the distribution could lift the net profit before tax for the 2021 year to between $20.0m and $22.0m.

1SEEKA LIMITED | INTERIM REPORT JUNE 2021
FROM THE CHAIR AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Seeka is pleased to present its financial results and commentary for the six months ended 30 June 2021. Despite

challenging operating conditions with labour shortages, market and shipping disruptions, Seeka delivered outstanding

customer service and excellent financial results to shareholders.

The company delivered on its strategy to improve earnings while delivering operational excellence, registering multiple

highlights across the business in the six months to June. This included the purchase of Ōpōtiki Packing and Cool Storage

Limited (OPAC) on 4 May, and in July announced a minority stake in the high-tech orchard-focussed start up Fruitometry.

As OPAC was purchased mid-season and had already earned 85% of its full-year EBITDA prior to takeover, Seeka will

incur the operating overheads for the remainder of 2021. From next year, these earnings will be recorded in Seeka’s Group

financial statements. The business is now integrated, operating and cost structures reset, and synergy savings are on

target. Acquisition and restructuring costs are included in this interim result.

Seeka announced capacity upgrades to handle the near-term increase in kiwifruit volumes. The proposed new packhouse

build at Pukenga has been delayed in favour of installing a new packing machine at KKP and high-efficiency coolstores at

Transcool. The impairment costs associated with removing the old packline and coolstores are included in this result.

Seeka progressed its sustainability programme with the assessment and independent verification of our 2019 carbon

footprint. Using this information, initiatives are underway to reduce Seeka’s environmental impact and assess the

risks and opportunities associated with climate change. Details on Seeka's carbon footprint plan are included in the

document's sustainability report along with an overview of Seeka’s 2019 carbon footprint. Sustainability updates will be a

focus of future stakeholder reporting.

Seeka reminds stakeholders that it operates in a seasonal industry with substantial earnings occurring in the first six

months as fruit is harvested in New Zealand and Australia.

New Zealand orchard operations

Orchard operations span south from Northland through the Coromandel, Bay of Plenty and to the East Coast, and

includes growing kiwifruit, avocado and kiwiberry on leased, long term leased, and Seeka-owned orchards. The OPAC

acquisition expands Seeka’s orcharding capability in Ōpōtiki and the East Coast and extends Seeka into the Gisborne

region. The orcharding business also provides comprehensive orchard and vine management services to owners and

develops orchards for landowners under long-term leases and in partnership with iwi.

The Seeka business (excluding OPAC) grew 14.4m trays of kiwifruit compared to 13.0m trays in the pcp. In addition,

OPAC’s orchard management team produced 3.7m trays for a combined production of 18.1m trays. Seeka is the largest

kiwifruit grower in New Zealand.

The growing season was good, and the previous drought-affected regions benefited from rain through key growing

periods. Hayward yields recovered to average 12,302 trays per hectare, compared against 2020’s drought-impacted

10,200 trays, and a five-year average of 10,800 trays per hectare. This recovery in Hayward yield is pleasing.

Seeka also grew 1,394,000 kilograms of avocado for the 2020/21 season, (pcp: 1,614,000 kgs) and 140,000 kilograms of

kiwiberry for harvest 2021 (pcp: 171,750 kgs).

Orchard operations revenue for the six months of $53.7m is up $6.3m from the pcp, reflecting higher yields and excellent

avocado and kiwiberry returns. $5.7m EBITDA for the period is up 36% on the pcp's $4.2m.

Our strategy is to continue to invest in long term leases to secure supply. Fruit volumes from orchard operations are

expected to increase as these orchards reach maturity.

INTERIM REPORT JUNE 2021 | SEEKA LIMITED6
New Zealand post harvest operations

Post harvest operates nine major facilities spread throughout the North Island’s major kiwifruit regions, following

the addition of the OPAC facility. These dedicated and modern packhouses handle all produce from our orcharding

operations and from independent growers.

In 2021, Seeka packed 36.8m trays of kiwifruit (pcp: 33.4m) with OPAC packing another 8m trays (pcp 7.4m). Kiwifruit

volumes recovered from droughts in 2019 and 2020. Seeka also packed 88,000 trays of kiwiberry, contract packed citrus

in Kerikeri, and packed 262,000 trays of avocado from the 2020/21 avocado season.

Post harvest revenue of $145.2m is up 34% from the pcp’s $108.1m due to volume and price increases. The cost of labour

once again increased as post-harvest companies sought to attract scarce labour and RSE worker costs increased with

MIQ costs. $49.1m EBITDA for the period is up $18.8m from the pcp’s $30.3m.

New Zealand SeekaFresh retail services operations

SeekaFresh includes the supply, export and sale of avocado, kiwiberry and class 2 New Zealand kiwifruit, export sales of

New Zealand kiwifruit through a collaborative programme, operation of our New Zealand wholesale marketing business

including imported tropical fruits, and the manufacture and sale of Kiwi Crush and avocado oil.

Revenue increased 18% to $11.5m. EBITDA of $1.9m is up on the pcp’s $1.3m. The business benefited from a strong close

to the 2020/21 avocado selling season.

Momentum continues to build with vibrant leadership, dedicated staff, great customer relationships and high-quality

produce.

Australia operations

Seeka Australia Pty Limited, a 100% Seeka-owned company, leases, operates and continues to develop kiwifruit

orchards, and owns and operates nashi and pear orchards along with associated post harvest facilities in Victoria, directly

marketing Seeka’s Australian produce domestically and to export customers.

Seeka’s Australian business was impacted by Covid-19. Operations adapted with local management delivering excellent

results in the circumstances. Labour is very short, and there are ongoing market disruptions and lockdowns.

The tremendous job done by the Australian team delivered profit growth that exceeded the new orchard lease costs.

Innovative management of orchard labour and post-harvest automation delivered our customers excellent service and

quality produce, despite the disruptions.

Total revenue for the six months of $13.9m compares against pcp of $13.3m. EBITDA of $2.7m compares to pcp of $1.9m,

with EBIT of $1.4m in line with pcp’s $1.4m.

7SEEKA LIMITED | INTERIM REPORT JUNE 2021
Avocados and kiwiberry positive highlights

Seeka continues to build its emerging avocado and kiwiberry categories; they positively contribute to Seeka’s earnings

while delivering competitive returns to growers.

The 2020/21 avocado season had an excellent finish with 262,000 trays handled and sold since 1 January to the export

and local markets, delivering strong returns to Seeka’s supplying growers. The 2021/22 avocado season, however,

appears soft with a glut of avocados and low export market values dampening the industry’s 2021/22 outlook.

88,000 trays (1.6 kgs per tray) of kiwiberry were successfully harvested and marketed in collaboration with Freshmax or

directly by SeekaFresh. Grower OGRs averaged $200,000 per hectare with the highest more than $270,000 per hectare.

Automation, technology and capacity

Seeka undertook multiple automation trials throughout the season to test labour-saving technologies and better

understand design performance, particularly as we consider a new packhouse build. Options include packaging

enhancements and automated box filling, with the business testing new scanning technology at Katikati which reduced

manual grading. This was particularly successful.

On-orchard innovation continues to ramp up. In July, Seeka took a stake in digital start-up Fruitometry. Using smart

orchard scanning technology, Fruitometry provides valuable information to improve orchard management and post harvest

planning. This investment is a part of Seeka’s commitment to develop and deploy technology that improves operational

efficiency and decision making.

Construction of a new packhouse on the Pukenga orchard adjacent to Seeka 360 continues to be evaluated. Before

committing to this large investment, Seeka must be confident that automation will deliver operational efficiencies and

cost savings, and have certainty about pack plans, the packhouse’s financial viability, and the availability to ship on time,

including the option to deliver kiwifruit free on truck in the market. Currently we lack sufficient confidence to proceed with

this investment.

Kiwifruit volumes are increasing faster than previously anticipated. Our disciplined capacity planning indicates that Seeka's

facilities will be capacity constrained next season. We responded with a $20m investment to replace KKP's old grader with

an automated high-efficiency machine and replace Transcool's old coolstores with high-efficiency stores. To be completed

prior to harvest 2022, these developments are expected to balance Seeka’s post harvest capacity through to 2024.

INTERIM REPORT JUNE 2021 | SEEKA LIMITED8
Labour

Labour is an ongoing challenge for primary producers and exporters throughout New Zealand and Australia. Severe

labour shortages during peak demand are common. During peak picking and packing, skilled orchard and packhouse

workers were extremely short.

Seeka acted by collaborating with iwi and government agencies to get more locals into jobs. One example is a Northland

joint initiative with Ngāti Hine and the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) to induct and train locals to become

employment ready for the horticulture industry with career prospects. This initiative was successful.

Seeka worked positively with MSD to facilitate regional workers by providing transport to Seeka facilities. Workers at

Seeka are paid competitive remuneration and are provided with great working conditions. We have on-site gyms for staff

at Kerikeri and Seeka 360 with a wellness programme about to be added.

Seeka worked and paid public holidays.

Local workers were complemented with access to overseas workers through the Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE)

scheme. Costing $1.9m, Seeka added 300 RSE workers from the government’s 2000 RSE access quota. These people

provided pivotal labour, particularly early harvest and at its peak. Despite these initiatives, Seeka was short of workers

at critical times. There were simply no more people to employ. As a result, many of our people worked longer and much

harder to get the job done; performance we are grateful for.

Health and safety

Labour shortages exacerbated the safety risk profile. People worked harder to cover the labour shortfall. Seeka took all

efforts to keep our people safe and continues to invest in safety. More barriers, more guarding, more focus on removing

the chance of collision between humans and mobile plant, and more focus on our safety management and planning.

There were no serious harm incidents at Seeka and less lost time injuries than the pcp.

Safety initiatives include trialling new technology that alerts forklift drivers when people are near. This follows two serious

harm incidents last year that drove us to search for a solution to forklift incidents.

Seeka introduced lead indicators to our safety performance measures. Recording safety meetings and attendees across

the Group, this new Inspirational People measure is helping instil a company-wide safety culture.

Strategic highlights

The company concentrated on operational excellence undertaking disciplined planning to prepare for the harvest, and to

ensure that each operation was well executed with full consideration for capacity, people, safety and financial outcomes,

including contingency planning. Seeka continues to trial and implement automation technologies that improve efficiency

and fruit quality while redeploying labour. We also focus on supply chain efficiencies where we deliver an integrated

service right through to the market or customer.

Seeka continued to focus on strategic opportunities for profitable growth, acquiring OPAC in the period which secured

new volumes from the Ōpōtiki, East Coast and Gisborne regions. The acquisition is complete, integrated and synergy

targets achieved. Growth remains an important platform in Seeka’s strategy.

Seeka continued to enhance our core kiwifruit capabilities as we strengthened the balance sheet, maintained financial

capability to invest and delivered earnings growth and share value appreciation to shareholders. The company continues

to concentrate on its foundation through disciplined planning.

Seeka progressed our sustainability initiatives, completing a full audit of our greenhouse gas emissions that details our

2019 CO

2

e footprint as we grow, handle and supply New Zealand and Australian fruit to domestic and international

consumers. We identified key contributors, categorised our emissions to industry standards, and defined performance

baselines from which we can set reduction targets and measure efficiency gains. Independently verified by Toitū

Envirocare, an overview of Seeka’s GHG Emissions Inventory Report 2019 can be seen on page 12.

The Seeka team

Seeka’s people have again excelled under the pressures of harvest across New Zealand and Australia. They adapted,

innovated and strived to deliver an excellent first half result. During the harvest period, the team integrated OPAC and

inducted all continuing staff.

Seeka continued to develop its people and foster talent with 18 new cadets hired in 2021.

Faced with severe labour shortages, Seeka worked with iwi and government agencies, including MSD, to maximise the

employment of local workers.

Our people continue to make Seeka an inspiring produce company to work for and are celebrated for their efforts.

Full year operational guidance

Seeka has substantially improved operational earnings in the period. Full-year net profit before tax (NPBT) is forecast to

be between $13.5m and $16.0m. This includes $1.4m of restructuring and acquisition costs, and excludes any one-off

gains or extraordinary items (should they settle in the year) and $1.8m of OPAC profit to the acquisition date (NPBT).

Note that $9m of pcp NPBT was from a gain on orchard sales.

Full year guidance

Further to the full year operational guidance of net profit before tax, Seeka expects a one-off extraordinary gain from the

successful settlement of the kiwifruit claim against the Crown. The actual amount to be received by Seeka is unknown

with the distribution subject to High Court approval, with the timing of payment expected to be received before the end of

2021. Seeka is estimating that its share of the distribution could lift the net profit before tax for the 2021 year to between

$20.0m and $22.0m.

Summary

We are proud of how the company performed in challenging circumstances with labour shortages, shipping disruptions

and ongoing market uncertainty from Covid-19.

Seeka continues to make excellent progress with its sustainability initiatives, including the calculation and independent

verification of Seeka’s 2019 base year carbon footprint. Work in this important area continues.

Seeka has improved first half profitability, increased dividends and completed a significant acquisition. We are ready and

prepared to continue our growth journey knowing that we must continue to lift base profitability.

We thank all growers, shareholders, employees and stakeholders for the loyalty and support you willingly give to Seeka.

Sustainability report

Environmental work programme - June 2021 update

Seeka is working to be an industry leader on minimising our environmental footprint, reducing our greenhouse gas emissions

and assessing the impact of climate change.

Carbon footprint plan

Seeka's carbon footprint plan is our blueprint for moving towards a sustainable future. It's our five-step process to measure, set

targets and develop initiatives to reduce our CO

2

e emissions.

We're calculating our emissions using ISO 14064-1: 2018 Greenhouse Gases and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (ghgprotocol.org),

with our calculations independently verified by Toitū Envirocare. We're reporting the warming potential of all contributing

greenhouse gasses in CO

2

equivalents, known as CO

2

e.

Seeka's Carbon Footprint Reporting provides an overview of Seeka’s 2019 base year greenhouse gas results, identifies key

contributors, categorises our emissions, and provides a baseline from which we can start to set reduction targets and measure

efficiency gains.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Reporting entity and statutory base

The Group interim financial statements presented are those of

the consolidated Seeka Group. Seeka Limited is referred to as the

Company. The group is referred to as the Group, Seeka, or Seeka

Group.

Seeka Limited is a profit-orientated company registered in New

Zealand under the Companies Act 1993 and a Financial Markets

Conduct (FMC) Reporting Entity for the purposes of the FMC Act

2013. Seeka Limited is listed and its ordinary shares are quoted on the

NZX main board equity security market (NZX Main Board).

Nature of operations

Seeka is a produce business operating in New Zealand and Australia.

In New Zealand the Group provides orchard management, post

harvest and retail services to New Zealand’s kiwifruit, avocado, citrus,

berry and kiwiberry industries. Seeka manufactures and sells the Kiwi

Crush and Kiwi Crushies product range along with avocado oil. The

Group also provides retail and ripening services for imported tropical

produce, and operates a wholesale market for locally-produced and

imported produce.

In Australia, Seeka owns, leases and operates orchards and associated

post harvest assets, making the Group the largest producer and

supplier of Australian kiwifruit and nashi pears, a major supplier of

European pears, plus lesser production of other temperate-climate

fruits, including plums and apricots.

Statement of compliance and basis of preparation

Group consolidated interim financial statements for the half

year reporting period ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in

accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting

Principles (NZ GAAP) and comply with the New Zealand International

Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other reporting standards

as applicable to profit-oriented entities. Specifically, Group interim

financial statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ IAS

34, Interim Financial Reporting. This consolidated interim financial

information does not include all of the information required for the full

annual audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction

with the annual audited financial statements for the year ended 31

December 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with NZ

IFRS.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the

financial statements are set out below.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors (the

Board) on 19 August 2021. The Directors do not have the authority to

amend the financial statements after issue.

Summary of significant accounting policies

Other than detailed below, the accounting policies applied are

consistent with those of the annual audited financial statements for

the year ended 31 December 2020, as described in those annual

financial statements.

Where a change in the presentational format of the financial

statements has been made during the period, comparative figures

have been restated accordingly.

Going concern assumption

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

As at 30 June 2021, the Company has net assets of $233.33m, with

total assets of $518.89m and total liabilities of $285.56m.

Seasonal nature of Group operations

Seeka's core business is providing supply chain services to New

Zealand and Australia's horticulture industries. A high proportion of

Group revenue is generated and cost of sales incurred in the autumn

when produce is harvested and prepared for market. Correspondingly,

approximately 70% to 80% of Group gross profit is recorded in the

interim report. Seasonal fluctuations impact the timing of gross profit,

particularly the amount and quality of kiwifruit inventory remaining in

store at 30 June.

Current economic environment

The 2021 financial year continued to present a number of economic

challenges related to Covid-19. Labour shortages were evident

throughout the kiwifruit harvest season. Seeka benefitted from

just under 500 Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) employees,

100 of which had remained in the country from the previous year's

lockdown. Seeka also invested in a number of successful employment

programmes to encourage New Zealanders to work in the kiwifruit

industry. Despite these efforts, seasonal employees were significantly

lower than required to complete the harvest in an efficient and timely

manner.

Kiwifruit and pear returns started strong in both New Zealand and

Australia, with forecast OGRs consistent with last year, allowing for

increased volumes and costs. The Australian avocado market appears

over supplied and full-season avocado returns are forecast to be

substantially lower than the prior season.

The Group's financial position remains healthy and was strengthened

through the acquisition and amalgamation of Ōpōtiki Packing and Cool

Storage Limited (OPAC), which added $77.33m of assets to the Group,

see note 13. The acquisition is not expected to significantly increase

profit in 2021 as it occurred more than half way through the packing

season when revenues are generated, and the Group is assuming

overheads until year end plus paid acquisition costs. The integration of

OPAC is forecast to be accretive to the Group from 2022 onwards.

Market capitalisation

The Group compares the carrying amount of net assets with the

market capitalisation value at each balance date. The share price at 30

June 2021 was $5.10, equating to a market capitalisation of $201.09m.

This market value excludes any control premium and may not reflect

the value of Group net assets. The carrying amount of Group net

assets at 30 June 2021 was $233.33m ($5.92 net assets per share).

Management and directors considered all reasons for this difference

and concluded all relevant factors were considered for their value in

use tests. The impairment test performed over the Group’s net asset

value did not identify any impairments.

Goods and services tax (GST)

The statement of financial performance and statement of

comprehensive income have been prepared so that all components are

stated exclusive of GST. All items in the statement of financial position

are stated net of GST, with the exception of receivables and payables,

which include GST invoiced.

Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the

entity

There are no new standards, amendments or interpretations that have

been issued and are effective that are expected to have a material

impact on the Group.

Basis of preparation

This section sets out the Group’s accounting policies that apply to the full set of financial statements. Accounting policies which are

limited to a specific note are described in that note.

Performance

1. Segment information

The Group’s operating segments are entities that engage in business

activities that earn revenues, incur expenses and are reported in a

manner consistent with the internal reports provided to the chief

decision makers, being the Directors, who regularly evaluate the

allocation of resources alongside operational outcomes, such as

EBITDA and EBIT, and are responsible for setting strategic direction.

The Group has five operating segments:

–Four New Zealand segments express the range of complementary

services delivered to New Zealand’s produce industries and the

retail sector.

–A single Australian segment encompasses the integrated business

associated with the Group’s Australian-grown produce.

Direct segment revenues and operating costs are allocated to each

segment. Administration costs, overheads, and grower service costs

recorded in the statement of financial performance are allocated to

all other segments. Transactions between segments are conducted at

arm’s length and are eliminated on consolidation.

Segment information is prepared on the same basis as the annual

audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

New Zealand segments

Orchard operations

The Group provides on-orchard management services to orchard

owners who produce kiwifruit, avocado and kiwiberry.

The Group produces kiwifruit, avocado and kiwiberry from:

–Short term leased orchards (typically three-year rolling contracts)

whereby the Group recovers costs and shares any profits with the

orchard owners.

–Long term leased land which the Group has developed into

productive orchards, pays all development and production costs,

owns all fruit for the term of the lease, and shares profit with the

landowner after all costs are recovered from fruit proceeds.

–Owned orchards whereby the Group incurs growing and harvest

costs and receives all orchard income from fruit sales.

Post harvest operations

The Group provides post harvest services to the kiwifruit, avocado,

citrus, berry, and kiwiberry industries. This includes all fruit from the

Group’s orchard management and lease operations, plus fruit from

independent orchard owners.

Retail service operations

The Group provides fruit marketing services in New Zealand and

internationally, particularly in the Australian and Asian markets. This

includes fruit from the Group’s New Zealand based orchard and post

harvest operations. In New Zealand the Group also provides retail and

ripening services for imported fruit, and operates a wholesale market

for local and imported produce.

Retail service operations include the production and selling of Kiwi

Crush, Kiwi Crushies and avocado oil to the retail sector and hospitals,

along with post harvest services for kiwiberry.

All other segments - New Zealand

This represents the Group’s aggregated administration, grower

services and overhead sections recorded in the statement of financial

performance and impairment and revaluations of other assets not

attributed directly to any other segment. It also includes the gain on

sale from assets classified as held for sale.

Australian operations

The Group grows, provides post harvest services, and retails all

produce from orchards the Group owns or leases in Australia. The

main products are kiwifruit, nashi pears and European pears, which are

primarily sold in Australia. Included in the December 2020 result is a

one-off gain from the settlement of the sale and leaseback transaction.

This section focuses on the Group’s financial performance and details the contributions made from the individual operating segments.

EBITDA and EBIT

EBITDA is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, impairments and revaluations. EBITDA is an indicator of profitability.

EBIT is earnings before interest and tax; an indicator of profitability that excludes interest and income tax expenses.

Non-GAAP financial information does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar

financial information presented by other entities. The Board considers EBITDA and EBIT as useful measures of financial performance for both

investors and management as they are indicators of the Group's operating profitability that remove the impact of tax and the interest expense

associated with debt (EBIT), along with depreciation, amortisation and revaluation expenses associated with the Group's large investments in

fixed and leased assets (EBITDA).

Turnover

The Board considers turnover a useful measure of the Group's operating activity as it represents the total transactional value of goods and

services provided to external customers during the year. As such turnover includes the value of fruit sales made on behalf of growers and suppliers

where the Group acts as the agent, and is considered the supplier by the purchasing party. This includes all produce sales both local and export.

Accounting policies

As part of the OPAC acquisition four types of revenue contracts were acquired. Two post harvest contracts are similar in nature to Seeka’s packing

and cool storage contracts, with the exception of the timing of the cool storage revenue recognition which is accounted for as fruit is packed rather

than loaded out. There were also two orchard management contracts for managing fruit growing and to collect the supply of fruit, which is similar

in nature to Seeka’s existing contracts, see note 13.

Northland orchards

At 30 June 2021, 23 hectares of Northland orchards (June 2020 - 34 hectares) owned by Seeka were classified as held for sale. These properties

were part of the 2018 purchase of Kerikeri assets from T&G Global Limited. Growing costs were not attributed to these orchards as they are

valued on a crop-off basis.

The assets are classified as held for sale as their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through

continuing use. This condition was met when the sale became highly probable and the assets were available for immediate sale in their present

condition. The Group is committed to the sale and expects the sale to be completed within one year from the date of classification. These assets

are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell as required by NZ IFRS 5.

The accounting standards allow for the period to extend past 12 months if the circumstances causing the delay are out of Seeka's control.

Management considers the remaining Northland orchards meet the requirements to extend past 12 months as there is current interest in the

properties with sales contracts expected in the next 12 months.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Group used judgement to recognise the remaining Northland orchards as held for sale, despite being classified as held for sale for more than

12 months. The Group used judgement to classify the Australian sale and leaseback as an asset held for sale and estimates to calculate lease

balances, the gain on sale and the discount rate to apply to the lease.

Assets under construction are assets that are yet to be capitalised and are not depreciated. When the asset is ready for use it is transferred to the

appropriate asset class. At 30 June 2021, assets under construction are largely related to the Kerikeri coolstore build.

Land and buildings

Land and buildings are revalued to their estimated market value on a three-year rolling cycle (excluding assets under construction), plus any

subsequent additions at cost, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. In New Zealand valuations are undertaken by Telfer Young Valuers,

ANZIV, independent registered valuer.

In Australia valuations are undertaken by Preston Rowe Paterson Shepparton (previously known as Goulburn Valley Property Services),

independent valuers, Shepparton, Victoria, Australia. All Australian land and buildings were last revalued at 31 December 2019.

As at 30 June 2021 the directors believe there are no indicators that would suggest that the carrying value of land and buildings differs materially

from their fair value and as a consequence there is no need to revalue those assets at 30 June 2021. As part of the OPAC acquisition, OPAC land

and buildings were independently valued by Telfer Young Valuers, see note 13.

Impairment

In the six months to June 2021, $1.13m of assets were impaired. This included $0.75m for old Transcool coolstores that were removed to make

room for new coolstore builds prior to harvest 2022, $0.22m for an old grader at KKP that is being replaced by a new MAF Roda grader for harvest

2022, and $0.16m related to VLS laboratory costs.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

At 30 June 2021 an assessment of the carrying values of land and buildings was performed. Based on discussions with experts in property

valuation, the value of Seeka’s property has not materially changed in the last six months. Property valuations remain high for properties in the

food production industry. On the OPAC acquisition land and buildings were valued by an independent valuer, Telfer Young, which confirmed that

the capitalisation rates and market rents for industrial properties remain strong.

Seeka’s Australian properties are also located in the food production region of Victoria which supports the carrying values of the remaining land

and buildings.

Sensitivity analysis suggests property values have overall increased between $0m and $1m. This is not considered a material movement in land

and building values.

Goodwill

The Board reviews business performance based on operating segments and monitors goodwill at the operating segment level. Goodwill represents

the 2021 acquisition of OPAC, see note 13, the 2019 acquisition of the Aongatete business, the 2018 acquisition of the Northland business, the

previously-acquired Glassfields business (now named SeekaFresh) and the Kiwi Crush and Kiwi Crushies product ranges.

Cash generating units (CGU)

Packing facilities within the wider Bay of Plenty region are operated

as a single operational unit with fruit allocated to sites within the

region. This delivers efficiencies, with Seeka able to pack fruit at

optimum maturity by allocating it to the next available facility. This

means operational performance is considered on a regional basis

rather than a single facility.

For these reasons, testing whether the goodwill arising on the

acquisition of packing facilities in the Bay of Plenty may be impaired

is in accordance with NZ IAS 36. The cash generating unit is the Bay

of Plenty post harvest CGU, which includes Coromandel facilities.

Fruit in Northland is not generally directed to the Bay of Plenty

region, so this segment remains on its own for consideration of

goodwill. To be consistent this has been renamed Northland post

harvest CGU.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The review of intangible assets for impairment uses judgement to identify indicators of impairment and where an impairment test is performed,

estimates of revenue growth rates, discount rates and terminal growth rates are used.

Impairment tests for goodwill

At 30 June 2021, all goodwill balances were reviewed for indicators of

impairment. The 2021 kiwifruit harvest season is complete and volumes

increased on the prior season and are projected to significantly increase in

coming years as new SunGold developments come into production. There

is no indication that the goodwill relating to the Bay of Plenty and Northland

post harvest CGUs should be impaired.

SeekaFresh had a strong close to the 2020/21 avocado season and

operating unit EBITDA is $0.87m ahead of the previous year. Following

a restructure, fresh market sales remain strong and the customer base

is growing. For these reasons, there is no indication the goodwill for

the SeekaFresh CGU should be impaired. An increase in New Zealand-

and Australian-grown avocados may temporarily reduce SeekaFresh's

commission on avocado sales this season. This is considered a temporary

impact and not an indication of impairment.

Kiwi Crush operations had a positive start with a strong kiwiberry packing

season. EBITDA for the first six months is consistent with the prior period

and ahead of budget. Therefore, there are no indicators of impairment of the

goodwill relating to the Kiwi Crush CGU.

On 15 December 2020, the Group completed a sale and leaseback transaction for three kiwifruit orchards totalling 199 hectares in Australia. The

completion of this sale created a right-of-use lease asset and a lease liability, with the difference between the two recognised as a gain on sale

through the statement of financial performance

On 4 May 2021, the Group acquired OPAC, which included $0.55m of right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities, see note 13.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The valuation of right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities uses judgement to determine the incremental borrowing rate and the

likelihood of exercising any rights of renewal to extend the lease term.

13. Business combination

Amalgamation of Ōpōtiki Packing and Cool Storage Limited (OPAC)

During the year the Group acquired Ōpōtiki Packing and Cool Storage Limited (OPAC), a kiwifruit post harvest and orcharding business based in

Ōpōtiki, the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, into a newly-formed 100% owned subsidiary of Seeka Limited, being Seeka OPAC Limited. OPAC shares

were cancelled and re-issued for shares in Seeka Limited at a ratio of 1.4833 shares in Seeka for each share in OPAC, based on a price of $4.82 per

Seeka share (equal to the VWAP of shares traded over 10 business days, finishing on 24 March 2021, with all fractions of Seeka shares rounded

up to the next whole number). The purchase was settled 4 May 2021 for a recorded consideration of $38.73m when Seeka issued 7,042,574

ordinary shares at $5.50, being the share market price on the acquisition date as per NZ IFRS 3. The change in share price between the VWAP and

the share price on acquisition date had the impact of increasing goodwill by $4.80m.

On acquisition, the Group drew down a $27m loan to repay the acquired interest bearing liabilities of $21.86m, with the remainder used to service

OPAC's working capital requirements for the remainder of the season.

OPAC contributed $12.47m of revenue and $2.86m of net profit before tax to the Group for the period from 4 May to 30 June 2021. If the

acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2021, OPAC would have contributed $19.13m of revenue and $4.66m of net profit before tax for the six

months ended 30 June 2021. These calculations are not significantly impacted by differences in accounting policies between the Group and the

acquired subsidiary, and no significant additional depreciation would have been charged if fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment

had applied from 1 January 2021, including consequential tax effects.

Dividends, share capital and fair value

This section focuses on how the Group pays dividends to grow shareholder returns, manages its share capital, and determines the fair

value of its financial assets, securities and liabilities so it can deliver benefits to stakeholders.

Disclosures are made on the Group’s bank facilities, retained earnings, dividends paid to shareholders, and earnings per share. Details on the

Company’s share capital include shares issued under the dividend reinvestment plan, grower incentive and employee share schemes.

On 25 February 2021, the directors declared a fully-imputed dividend of $0.12 per share. The dividend was paid on 30 March 2021 to those

shareholders on the register at 5pm on 5 March 2021. The dividend reinvestment plan applied with a 2% discount to the strike price.

In the last 12 months, $0.34 has been paid in dividends per share (prior 12 months $0.12).

The cash dividend payment was $6.48m at June 2021, being $3.23m relating to the special dividend declared in December 2020 and $3.25m relating

to the dividend declared in March 2021.

On 18 August 2021, the directors declared a fully-imputed divided of $0.13 per share. The dividend will be paid 13 October 2021 to those shareholders

on the register at 5pm on 20 September 2021. The dividend reinvestment plan will apply.

15. Share capital

On 4 May 2021, the Group acquired OPAC for a recorded consideration of $38.73m, by issuing 7,042,574 ordinary Seeka shares at $5.50 per

share, see note 13.

During the period to 30 June 2021, $0.66m (Jun 2020 - $0.05m) was received in relation to shares issued under the employee share scheme

established in 2016.

During the period to 30 June 2021, 183,561 shares were issued under the dividend reinvestment plan (Dec 2020 - 88,240 shares at $3.95 in

September); 90,318 shares in January at $4.71 from the special divided declared December 2020, and 93,243 shares in March at $4.73 from the

dividend declared March 2021, see note 14.

16. Determination of fair values of financial assets and liabilities

The following table analyses financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as at 30 June 2021.

The different levels are defined as:

–Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Instruments in level 1 are comprised of water shares and irrigation water rights.

–Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

–Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that have to be developed to reflect the assumptions that a market participant would use

when determining an appropriate price.

The fair value of acquired trade receivables is $0.40m. There was no loss allowance recognised on acquisition. The goodwill of $9.73m is allocated

to the Bay of Plenty post harvest cash generating unit as the primary purpose of the amalgamation was to obtain the post harvest facility and

associated grower relationships. The goodwill is attributable to the operation’s strong market position in the Ōpōtiki, East Cape and Gisborne

regions, and synergies expected to arise from adding an extra post harvest facility to the Seeka Group. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible

for tax purposes.

Acquisition-related costs of $0.47m are included in administrative expenses. Deferred tax of $1.86m was provided in relation to differences

between tax written down values and the fair value of certain assets. Seeka has 12 months from the acquisition to reassess the disclosed fair values

of assets and liabilities. In particular, any liabilities are expected to be crystallised and quantified within the 12 months from the acquisition date.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The fair values of assets are subject to estimates and judgement. Seeka engaged Telfer Young to complete an independent valuation of the land

and buildings at the acquisition date. The remaining property, plant and equipment was assessed on a depreciated historical cost basis, as well as a

physical stocktake and a comparison to similar Seeka-owned assets. The Group assessed that an intangible asset exists for grower relationships and

contracts, which is immaterial for financial reporting using the multi-period excess earnings method of calculating intangible assets on contracts.

17. Related party transactions

The Group undertakes transactions with Seeka Growers Limited (SGL), a related party which administers all kiwifruit revenues received for the

New Zealand business on behalf of supplying growers. These are all transacted on normal commercial terms and conditions. In the current period

the Group received $110.11m (Jun 2020 - $84.26m) for the provision of services to SGL.

18. Capital commitments

As at 30 June 2021 the Group was committed to incur $6.90m of capital costs relating to a post harvest upgrade at KKP and the purchase of 18

Carraro tractors ordered and due for payment in 2022. (Dec 2020 - $1.70m).

19. Contingent assets

Seeka announced on 15 February 2021 that a settlement has been reached in the matter of the kiwifruit class action against the Crown related to

the Psa outbreak in 2010. The settlement sum for the legal, funding and claimants is $40m inclusive of GST if any. Seeka is a plaintiff in the class

action. Seeka expects a one-off extraordinary gain from the successful settlement of the kiwifruit claim against the Crown. The actual amount to

be received by Seeka is unknown with the distribution subject to High Court approval, with the timing of payment expected to be received before

the end of 2021. Seeka estimates that its share of the distribution could be between $4.0m and $8.5m.

20. Events occurring after balance date

On 9 July 2021, Seeka announced an equity investment in Fruitometry, an innovative horticultural startup. Fruitometry provides knowledge to

efficiently manage orchards, maximise yields and provide accurate pre-harvest fruit estimates for the supply chain. Seeka's minority investment of

$2.60m values Fruitometry at $10 million. Fruitometry will continue to operate independently while expanding their service.

A dividend was declared for $0.13 per share to be paid on 13 October 2021, see note 14.

There are no other events occurring subsequent to balance date requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.
