Strong Investment Performance Drives Earnings Growth

Earnings Results25 August 2022ALFFinancials

26 August 2022
The Directors of Allied Farmers Limited (“Allied Farmers” or “Allied Group”) (ALF:NZX) are pleased to report an audited net profit

before tax for the year to 30 June 2022 of $3.556 million (FY2021$2.481 million), with an audited net profit after tax attributable 0 June 2022 of $3.556 million (FY2021$2.481 million), with an audited net profit after tax attributable

to Allied Farmers’ shareholders of $2.876 million (FY2021 $2.021 million) which was a +42% increase from tto Allied Farmers’ shareholders of $2.876 million (FY2021 $2.021 million) which was a +42% increase from the previous year.

A segmental contribution comparison is provided below which reflects the contribution to Allied Farmers of our two principal

investments and our holding company operating and financing costs:

This year we generated growth in earnings per share (EPS) of +16%. Allied F of +16%. Allied Farmers Net Tangible Assets (NTA) per share based

on 67% direct ownership of NZ Farmers Livestock (NZFL), and 50% ownership of NZRLM equals $0.48 $0.48 per share (versus $0.38 $0.38

per share aper share as at 30 June 2021).

In a strategic shift Allied Farmers also decided to wind down Rural Funding SolutioNZ Limited (RFS) and enter into (via New

Zealand Farmers Livestock Finance Limited) a referral agreement with Heartland Bank. This provided increased scope to facilitate

livestock lending with the backing of a specialist and sophisticated lender in Heartland.

In September 2021, we repaid a $1 million bond eliminating all debt at the parent company level.

As RFS has largely wound down throughout the year and capital was released this was reinvested into New Zealand Rural Land

Company’s capital raisings.

Allied Farmers also implemented several initiatives throughout the year to reduce corporate costs, including a significantly smaller

Board, reduced IT spend, reduced professional services spend, disestablishment of the Allied Farmers’s CEO role, and lower

recurring consulting fees. The full benefit of these cost reductions will appear in FY 2023.

The Directors will update shareholders at the Annual Meeting in November as to whether a dividend (or other forms of capital

return) will be paid.

New Zealand Rural Land Management (NZRLM) - 50% owned:
NZRLM is the external manager of NZX listed New Zealand Rural Land Company (NZL). As at the date of this Annual Report

NZL has acquired approximately 11,710 hectares 11,710 hectares of rural land in the South Island.

The Allied Farmers’s result includes, for the first time, a full year contribution from NZRLM, delivering earnings of $1.624 miof $1.624 million

for the year ending 30 June 2022. The Board is pleased with NZRLM’s performance and return on investment, which was driven

by NZL’s further farm acquisitions partly funded by a successful capital raise during the year, and increased property revaluations

that underscore that NZL acquired its assets at very attractive prices.

Under the NZL Management Agreement, in addition to management and transaction fees that are paid in cash, NZL issues

shares to the owners of NZRLM, including Allied Farmers, as consideration for performance fees earned by NZRLM. In addition,

Allied Farmers has supported NZL’s capital raisings, not only because it considers this to be an attractive stand-alone rural sector

investment, but, as the 50% owner of NZRLM, NZRLM’s earnings grow as a result of the increase in NZL’s assets funded by these

capital raises. Allied Farmers currently owns 2,900,000 NZL shares (~2.6% of NZL shares on issue).

NZRLM Outlook:

NZL has scaled impressively since its listing on NZX on 21 December 2020 under the guidance of its Manager NZRLM. It is

reasonable to expect a period of consolidation for NZL after such rapid growth and accordingly we expect NZRLM may earn

lower transaction fees in the year ahead as the Manager focuses on Investor Relations and broadening the shareholder base

offshore with ~25% of NZL’s register still open to foreign investors who have traditionally had a strong appetite for high quality

rural land assets globally.

2

New Zealand Farmers Livestock Limited (NZFL) - 67% owned:
The NZFL result reflected a vastly improved contribution by its veal processing business, However, this improvement was partially

offset by a lower contribution from its livestock agency business reflecting reduced tallies related to periodic weather and market

conditions, Covid disruption, and several small yard share losses. Dairy herd sales were strongly improved on earlier years.

Finance activity continued a contribution consistent with earlier years, as this business transitioned to a referral-based model.

During the year NZFL subsidiary NZ Farmers Livestock Finance Limited (NZFLFL) entered into a referral agreement with Heartland

Bank, whereby NZFLFL earns commissions on livestock finance lending referred to Heartland. This arrangement is gradually

replacing the direct lending by NZFLFL that until late in the reporting period has been supported by an ANZ Bank facility. The

Heartland arrangement has had a pleasing start and continues to support and integrate well with the livestock agency business.

This has de-risked and strengthened NZFL’s balance sheet (as it runs-off its own loan book), provided a greater capacity for

clients to borrow, and enabled reliance on Heartland’s risk management and compliance processes. This change, along with

NZFL’s solid financial performance, enabled repayment of a range of mortgage and loan liabilities to materially improve balance

sheet resilience that saw NZFL end the year with no net debt.

NZFL Outlook:

NZFL plans to grow its national presence with agile digital innovation and deployment, focus on improving agent performance,

and cost management. Effort continues to grow veal tallies, though Covid impacts on processing capacity have temporarily

constrained this. Despite this, strong product prices should drive a solid FY23 result for the veal processing business. Finance is

forecast to see continued growth, with investment in additional resourcing, removal of earlier funding constraints, expected market

growth, and the excellent synergy with our wider business.

The Board wish to thank and acknowledge the hard work and initiative of our NZFL and NZRLM teams over the last year.

OVERVIEW

02 Business Overview

Allied Farmers Limited (ALF.NZX) is a NZX-listed investment company that has a legacy dating back
to 1889 with the formation of The Egmont Farmers’ Union Limited as a stock and station company.

This company was ultimately sold to Hawera based The Farmers’ Co-operative Organisation Society

of New Zealand Limited and 1914 is the recorded starting date of the company today. In 1997, the

company revised its Constitution and changed the name to comply with the new Companies Act to

Allied Farmers Limited. Allied Farmers listed on the NZX on 9 May 2002 (after having traded on

the NZX’s unlisted security facility since 1998) and throughout its history of providing services to the

agricultural sector has also operated as an agricultural investment company with strategic stakes in

livestock trading, meat, wool, lumber, finance and retail rural supplies.

principal investments at present - a 67% shareholding in New Zealand Farmers Livestock (NZFL) and

a 50% shareholding in New Zealand Rural Land Management Partnership, the Manager of NZX-

HISTORY

1

2
Businesses:

Allied Farmers is a NZX-listed investment company with two investments in the rural sector.

Asset Management:

Allied Farmers owns 50% of New Zealand Rural Land Management Limited Partnership (NZRLM).

NZRLM provides management, investment and administrative services to NZX listed New Zealand Rural Land Company Limited

(NZL) pursuant to a Management Agreement. NZL owns and lease rural land to farmers and food producers to provide

shareholders with a dividend yield and potential long-term capital growth.

The other owners of NZRLM are entities associated with the contracted management of NZRLM (Elevation Capital Management

Limited, Richard Milsom and Haydon Dillon), and NZL investors Clyde and Rena Holland who own ~8.5% of NZL.

Allied Farmers has a call option to acquire the 50% of NZRLM that it currently does not own, which is exercisable for 12 months

from 18 December 2022.

Livestock Services:

Allied Farmers owns 67% of national livestock agency business, NZ Farmers Livestock Limited (NZFL). A mix of NZ Farmers

Livestock agents and staff own the balance of NZFL.

Livestock agency is NZFL’s core business, generating commission revenue from the marketing, purchase and sale of livestock on

behalf of clients. These services are augmented by its processed veal export and livestock lending activities.

Strategy:

Allied Farmers is now one of the only NZX listed investment companies focused solely on the agricultural sector. The Allied

Farmers’ Board understands that, as an investment vehicle, its priority must be to deliver earnings per share growth for our

shareholders. We execute on this by providing strategic guidance and support to our investments to ensure that their business

strategies are designed to deliver sustainable earnings growth in line with Allied Farmers’s expectations.

Measurement and Recognition

Commission income on facilitating a livestock sale agreement, grazing agreement or forward livestock sale agreement is recognised when the sale is agreed

by a vendor and purchaser. The Group is acting as an agent as it doesn't have inventory risk and isn't able to set a price.

The Group reassessed the reporting of revenue from its subsidiaries and joint operations during the year ended 30 June 2022. As a result the Group has

aligned the reporting of livestock related income across all businesses including joint operations to ensure consistent treatment. The effect of this has been

to increase commission and fee income by $2.2m (2021: $2.1m), personnel expenses by $1.6m (2021: $1.5m) and operating expenses by $0.5m (2021:

$0.5m) with no change to reported profit for both years. Consequently the comparative period Profit and Loss Statement and Statement of Cash Flows has

been both been restated to ensure consistency of reporting.

Forward delivery contracts in relation to herd sales on which commission income is earned contain an element of variable consideration due to the timeframe

between when the sale is agreed and its completion. At year end the variable consideration is taken account of in the revenue recognised.

Sale of goods (veal meat and skins) revenue is recognised once goods are delivered to the customer. The Group is deemed a principal, rather than an

agent, as it holds inventory risk.

Fee income relates to RFID scanning fees, yard fees charged at saleyards and valuation fees. The income is recognised when livestock are scanned, a sale

is agreed within the auction or when the livestock are weighed. The Group is acting as a principal as it is primarily responsible for the service rendered and is

able to set a price.

Finance receivables interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all fees that are

integral to the effective interest rate. All fees except those charged to customer accounts in arrears are considered to be integral to the effective interest

rate. Fees charged to customer accounts in arrears are recognised as income at the time the fees are charged.

The shares in New Zealand Rural Land Company Limited are equity investments quoted in an active market which the Group has elected to designate as a

financial asset at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income. The fair value of these shares at 30 June 2022 is $3,103,000 (2021: $990,000). The

Company also owns a 50% interest in NZ Rural Land Management Partnership ('NZRLM'). NZRLM is the external manager of New Zealand Rural Land

Company Limited. The Group has determined that it has significant influence but not control over NZRLM. Accordingly, the Group applies the equity

method of accounting to its investment in NZRLM. Under the equity method the investment is initially recongnised at cost, and the carrying amount is

increased or decreased to recognise the investors share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition.

Group unrecognised deferred tax assets comprise unused tax losses as at 30 June 2022 total $36,288,403 gross (2021: $40,568,976). The ability to utilise

tax losses, given the age of the losses, is dependent upon continuing to meet shareholder continuity requirements of prevailing income tax legislation.

As at balance date imputation credits available to the shareholders of only the Parent Company in subsequent periods totalled $89,248 (2021: $89,248).

Key Judgement:

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to use the asset. This is reviewed at each balance

date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to utilise the asset. The level of losses

recognised reflects management's expectations of recurring levels of taxable profitabiity for approximately the next two years.

Measurement and Recognition:

Deferred tax is income tax that is expected to be payable or recoverable in the future as a result of the unwinding of temporary differences. These arise from

differences in the recognition of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and for the filing of income tax returns. Deferred tax is recognised on all temporary

differences, other than those arising from goodwill and the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction (other than in a business combination)

that affects neither the accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when a liability is settled or an asset realised, based on tax rates and tax laws

that have been enacted or substantively enacted at balance date.

Measurement & Recognition

Income tax expense is the income tax assessed on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax reported in the statement of

comprehensive income as it excludes items of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in future years (i.e. deferred tax) and also excludes items

that will never be taxable or deductible.

In this section

This section explains how the Allied Group manages its various funding sources including capital structure and debt. It also explains the financial risks that the Group faces

and how these risks are managed.

Group

The Allied Farmer Group's non controlling interests arise from minority interests held by other shareholders in NZ Farmers Livestock Limited and further non-

controlling interests held by shareholder other than NZ Farmers Livestock Limited in its controlled subsdiary, Redshaw Livestock Limited.

The following summary financial information of the NZFL Group is provided to assist in understanding the significance of external shareholders interests in the

group's reported position and performance. This information is presented before intercompany eliminations.

All ordinary shares rank equally as to voting, dividends and distribution of capital on liquidation.

The Allied Group's capital includes share capital, accumulated losses and non controlling interests.

The Board manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying

assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may issue new shares, sell assets, seek new debt funding, or adjust the amount of dividends

paid to shareholders.

Measurement and recognition

Borrowings are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost (using the effective interest method).

Fees for establishing new borrowings are spread over the term of those borrowings.

The borrowing facilities are secured, by way of a first ranking General Security Agreement and gross guarantee and indemnity, against the assets of NZ Farmers

Livestock Limited, NZ Farmers Livestock Finance Limited and Farmers Meat Export Limited. The financial covenants under these facilities have been fully complied

with during the year. All borrowings were repaid by 30 June 2022.

NZ Farmers Livestock Limited guarantees the bank overdraft of its subsidiary Redshaw Livestock up to $338,000 (FY21: $338,000), plus interest and costs.

Bonds of $1,000,000 were issued by Allied Farmers Rural Limited on 30 September 2014. The Bonds were secured by way of a first charge General Security

Agreement over all of the assets and undertakings of Allied Farmers Limited and subsidiaries excluding NZ Farmers Livestock Limited and subsidiaries and a

specific security over the shares held by Allied Farmers Rural Limited in NZ Farmers Livestock Limited plus a guarantee from Allied Farmers Limited and

subsidiaries. The Bonds were repaid on 30 September 2021.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the Group’s ability to meet its contractual obligations as they fall due.

Liquidity risk is reviewed on an ongoing basis and managed to meet requirements. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and

aggregated at Group level. The Group monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while

maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where

applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.

The amounts disclosed in the tables below show the contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest) due on financial liabilities, so will not always reconcile to

the amount disclosed on the statement of financial position. The amounts below also reflect the contractual repricing timing on financial liabilities, if applicable.

Measurement and recognition

The above lease liabilities are in relation to leases of regional offices and the leases of Motor Vehicles.

The increase in motor vehicle leases in the current period is due to the inclusion of the residual buy back value included in new lease arrangements which

management expects to exercise at the inception of the lease.

The Group recognises a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are

not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, The Group’s incremental

borrowing rate. The Groups incremental borrowing rate ranges between 6.0% to 9.95% (2021 6.98%) as the discount rate, with adjustments for the type and term

of the lease.

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have lease terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-

value assets. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases within operating expenses on a straight-line basis over their lease terms.

Group

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on movements in floating interest rates on bank borrowings. Finance receivables have fixed interest rates and generally

a term of less than one year.

In managing interest rate risk, the group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on the group’s earnings. Over the longer term, however, permanent

changes in interest rates will have an impact on profit.

If market interest rates for bank borrowings were to increase or decrease by at least +/-1% (2021: +/-0.5%), the effect on net profit after tax and equity for the year

as applied to year end balances would be as follows:

On origination, the finance receivables will fund the entire value of secured livestock. No credit scores are assigned to borrowers for internal risk management

purposes.

Finance receivables are exclusively held with counterparties trading in the farming sector. However there are no individual counterparties that are considered

to be significant to the group.

Key Judgement

The loss allowances for receivables are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these

assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group's past history and existing market conditions, as well as forward-

looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

It is expected that all trade receivables will be collected within 12 months of the balance date. All accounts past their due date have been subject to individual

assessment.

Other Investments

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a transaction with the Group will fail to discharge its obligations and make payment, causing the Group to incur a

financial loss.

The Group manages its exposure using a credit policy that includes limits on exposures with significant counterparties that have been set and approved by the

Board and are monitored on a regular basis and does not have any significant concentration of risk with any single party. The Group considers an account to

be in default when a debtor fails to make a contractual payment in the absence of a written agreement to the contrary. This is when the account is past due by

more than 90 days. Livestock finance receivables are secured over the livestock concerned and in the majority of cases supported by personal covenants

from the borrower.

Receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Group. The

Group categorises a loan or receivable for write-off when a debtor fails to make contractual payments more than 180 days past due. Where loans or

receivables have been written off, the company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are

made these are recognised in profit or loss.

Measurement and recognition

Receivables from livestock sales and Finance Receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost,

less provision for expected credit losses.

For Receivables from livestock sales, the provision for expected credit losses is based on the simplified approach, as permitted by NZ IFRS 9, and records the

loss allowances as lifetime expected credit losses from recognition. These are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the

life of the financial instrument.

Finance Receivables are reviewed on an individual basis to determine whether any amounts are unrecoverable and an expected credit loss provision is

recorded. The expected credit losses are based on management's assessment of amounts considered uncollectible for specific customers based on age of

debt, history of payments, account activity, current and future economic factors and other relevant information. Debts known to be uncollectible are written-off

as bad debts to the profit and loss when identified.

In December 2020 Allied Farmers Limited acquired 900,000 shares at an issue price of $1.25 per share in New Zealand Rural Land Company Limited

('NZRLC'). In September 2021, Allied Farmers Limited acquired 600,000 shares at an issue price of $1.10 at a total cost of $660,000. In June 2022 Allied

Farmers Limited acquired a further 783,057 shares at an issue price of $1.05 per share in NZRLC. The total cost was $823,973. A further 35,362 shares were

issued under a dividend reinvestment plan. A further 581,581 shares were issued under the performance fee arrangement referred to below. This holding

represents a 2.56% ownership in NZRLC as at 30 June 2022 (2021: 1.49%). These shares are equity investments quoted in the active market which the

Group has elected to designate as a financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income.

On 18 December 2020 Allied Farmers Limited purchased a 50 percent interest in NZ Rural Land Management Limited Partnership ('NZRLM'). NZRLM is the

external manager of NZ Rural Land Company Limited (NZRLC) which listed on the NZX on Monday 21 December 2020. The New Zealand Rural Land

Management Limited ('NZRLM') acquisition price paid was 5 million Allied Farmers shares at NZ$0.50 cents per share (cps) representing a total cost of

$2,500,000. The Group has determined that it has significant influence but not control over NZRLM. Accordingly, the Group applies the equity method of

accounting to its investment in NZRLM. Under the equity method the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or

decreased to recognise Allied Farmers Limited share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. Allied Farmers has a call option to

acquire the 50% of NZRLM that it currently does not own, which is exercisable for 12 months from 18 December 2022.

Under the Management Agreement NZRLC is to pay NZRLM a performance fee which, subject to certain adjustments, is to be equal to 10% of the increase in

net asset value of NZRLC in each financial year. The performance fee payable by NZRLC to NZRLM for the year ended 30 June 2022 comprised 2,499,247

(2021: 1,163,162) shares in NZRLC. Fifty percent of these shares were then distributed by NZRLM to Allied Farmers Limited in proportion to Allied's

ownership of NZRLM. Half of the shares issued in each Financial Year to satisfy the performance fee are subject to escrow arrangements, under which the

Manager or any nominee agrees not to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, or offer or agree to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, its right

and title to, and beneficial interest in such shares for a five year period. 290,791 shares distributed to Allied Farmers Limited were subject to this arrangement

as at 30 June 2022.

The Group financial statements include the financial statements of Allied Farmers Limited and the operating subsidiaries listed below.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so

as to obtain benefit from its activities. The financial records of operating subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on

which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

There are a number of subsidiaries within the Group that are non-trading and therefore have no financial records during the year or balances as at year-

end, they are not included within these consolidated financial statements.

This section provides information to help readers understand the Group structure and how it affects the financial position and performance of the Group.

All companies within the Group are incorporated in and have their principal place of business in New Zealand, and have a balance date of 30 June.

On an annual basis, the recoverable amount of Goodwill is determined based on value in use calculations specific to the Redshaw CGU. These

calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets prepared by management covering a five year period. Cash flows beyond

the five year period are extrapolated by way of a terminal value calculation using the estimated growth rates stated below. The growth rates adopted

are consistent with internal forecasts and budgets. The discount rate reflects the specific risks relating to the cash flow being discounted.

Below is a sensitivity analysis showing the impact on value of changes to the key variables:

The estimated recoverable amount of the Redshaw CGU is estimated to have exceeded the carrying amount of the CGU at 30 June 2022 by

approximately $151,000 (2021: $133,000).

Goodwill in Redshaw arose on the acquisition of a controlling interest in Redshaw Livestock Limited and the NZFLFL goodwill arose from the

acquisition of a finance book from Stock Plan Limited previously supplying finance to a number of NZ Farmers Livestock Limited customers.

Key Judgement

The assessment that there was no impairment of the goodwill in the Redshaw CGU ('cash generating unit') at 30 June 2022. The valuation of the

CGU is based on a discounted cashflow of management forecasts of future financial performance and therefore there is an inherent estimation

uncertainty.

Measurement & Recognition

The Group's subsidiary NZ Farmers Livestock Limited owns a proportion (25-50%) of various sale yard tangible assets and has joint arrangements in

relation to the operation of these sale yards (referred to as 'Associated Auctioneers'). The Group has assessed the nature of its investment in Associated

Auctioneers as joint operations. As joint operations, the Group accounts for its share of the revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities.

These joint operations are in five different locations. These joint operations are charged with the operating activities of the sale yards including conducting

sales of livestock via the auction process, maintaining the sale yards, collecting levies on livestock sales and meeting operating costs of the yards. If there

is a shortfall in the income to meet the operating costs in any one year then the joint operation's parties are required to contribute to the shortfall in the

proportion of their ownership of the sale yards.

The joint operation of the sale yards is strategically vital to the interests of NZ Farmers Livestock Limited as the sale yards activity provide significant

income to NZ Farmers Livestock Limited via commission on the sale of livestock handled through the sale yards.

Management has identified that a reasonably possible change in key assumption could cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable

amount. The following table shows the amount by which these two assumptions would need to change individually for the estimated recoverable

amount to be equal to the carrying amount.

On an annual basis the recoverable amount of this goodwill is tested by undertaking an assessment of its value in use.

No impairment charge was required to be recognised in the financial statements. There are no foreseeable changes in assumptions which could

result in a material impairment.

INDEPENDENT

AUDITOR’S REPORT

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of

Allied Farmers Limited

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Allied Farmers Limited and its subsidiaries (the

group), which comprise:

-the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2022;

-the consolidated profit and loss statement for the year then ended;

-the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income for the year then ended;

-the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;

-the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and

-the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements on pages 19 to 35 present fairly, in all

material respects, the financial position of the group as at 30 June 2022, and of its financial performance and its

cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)).

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of

the consolidated financial statements section of our report.

We are independent of the group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of

Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by

the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for

Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence

Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these

requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and

appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, Allied Farmers Limited or any

of its subsidiaries.

Key audit matter

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of

the financial statements for the current period. We identify one key audit matter as detailed on the next page,

which was addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our

opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter.

Revenue recognition
Why we considered this to be a key audit matter

The group’s revenue arises from a variety of revenue

streams (as detailed in Note A1) which include

livestock (livestock agency services and veal

processing), and livestock financial services. The

group’s share of results from equity accounted

investments (as detailed in Note C2) also include

revenues from rural land management services.

With livestock agency services the underlying

transactional flows exceed the reported levels of

revenue, given the adopted treatment to recognise

this revenue on a commission (i.e. agency) basis.

The results also include the group’s share of the

results of the equity accounted investment in New

Zealand Rural Land Management Partnership

(NZRLM). A significant portion of the revenue

earned by NZRLM is a performance fee, based on

the growth of New Zealand Rural Land Company

Limited’s audited net assets over the year to 30 June

2022.

Because of the complexity of the accounting

requirements and variety of revenue

types across the group we considered this to be a

key audit matter.

Our approach

Our procedures in relation to revenue recognition

included:

▪Reviewing a sample of contracts to ensure that

the group’s policy for the point of recognition is

in compliance with the requirements of NZ

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with

customers;

▪Understanding the processes and evaluating

the related controls implemented by the group

over revenue recognition;

▪Testing the operating effectiveness of controls

related to the recording of revenue from

livestock agency and veal processing revenue;

and

▪Performing tests of detail on a sample of

revenue transactions throughout the period

and in particular around year end to ensure

that these have been appropriately recognised,

as appropriate for that revenue stream.

We also evaluated the policies for revenue

recognition adopted by the group’s joint operations

(associated auctioneers) and equity accounted

investment (NZRLM), including testing of the

recognition of revenue within these components.

Specifically, we evaluated whether the performance

fee estimated by NZRLM (and equity accounted

within the Allied Farmers group results) was

consistent with the actual performance fee that

NZRLM was entitled to at year end, based on the

audited financial position of New Zealand Rural

Land Company Limited.

We also evaluated the accounting polices applied

and considered disclosures relating to revenue

recognition, and the presentation of revenue in

current and prior period, as outlined in Note A1.

Other matter

The financial statements of the group for the year ended 30 June 2021 were audited by another auditor who

expressed an unmodified opinion on 30 August 2021.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information

provided is contained on pages 1 to 18 (but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our

auditor’s report thereon), which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report. Our opinion on the

consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of audit

opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other

information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent

with the consolidated financial statements 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.

Responsibilities of the directors for the consolidated financial statements

The directors are responsible, on behalf of the group, for the preparation and fair presentation of the

consolidated financial statements in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as the

directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free

from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible, on behalf of the group, for

assessing the group’s ability 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.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a

whole are 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 ISAs (NZ) 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 these

consolidated financial statements. A further description of the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the

consolidated financial statements is located at the XRB’s website at: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/assurance-

standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1
