THE RICE COMPANY OF FIJI LIMITED Page C CHAIRMANS REPORT

Dear Shareholders, I am pleased to report on another satisfying year for your company. In 2012-13, our net sales revenue grew a modest 5.76% over previous year, from $18,824,866 to $19,909,985 while profit after tax increased from $1,566,561 to $ 2,057,341. During the year your company re-launched two Australian grown varieties, a premium long grain rice marketed under the FMF Sunrice brand and a medium grain marketed as FMF Sunwhite. After having been out of the market for a while, these products have been re-allocated shelf space in the retail trade but being premium products, are yet to make an impact on the extremely price sensitive market. Outlook: We expect international price of rice to be fairly steady over the ensuing year. With no significant increase in consumption, we expect the year to be similar to the previous one.
.

THE RICE COMPANY OF FIJI LIMITED DIRECTORS REPORT [CONTD] Current and Non-current Assets

Page 2

Prior to the completion of the financial statements of the company, the directors took reasonable steps to ascertain whether any current or non-current assets were unlikely to realise in the ordinary course of business their values as shown in the accounting records of the company. Where necessary, these assets have been written down or adequate allowance has been made to bring the values of such assets to an amount that they might be expected to realise. As at the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances, which would render the values attributed to current or non-current assets in the company's financial statements misleading. Unusual Transactions In the opinion of the directors, the results of the operations of the company during the financial year were not substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material unusual nature, nor has there arisen between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors, to affect substantially the results of the operations of the company in the current financial year. Events Subsequent to Balance Date No matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the company in future financial years.

(iii) no contingent liabilities or other liabilities of the company have become or are likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the company to meet its obligations as and when they fall due. As at the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances that have arisen, not otherwise dealt with in this report or the companys financial statements, which would make adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the company misleading or inappropriate. Directors Benefits Since the end of the previous financial year, no director has received or become entitled to receive a benefit (other than those disclosed in the financial statements) by reason of a contract made by the company or by a related company with the director or with a firm of which he/she is a member, or with a company in which he/she has a substantial financial interest.

THE RICE COMPANY OF FIJI LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Page 11

The Rice Company of Fiji Limited (the company) is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Fiji. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is disclosed in note 22 to the financial statements and the company is listed on the South Pacific Stock Exchange. The principal activity of the company during the year was that of importing bulk rice as a finished good and repacking and selling in different pack sizes. NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted by the company are stated to assist in a general understanding of these financial statements. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year except as stated otherwise. (a) Statement of Compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1983 and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as required by the Fiji Institute of Accountants. (b) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. In the application of IFRS, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Judgements made by management in the application of IFRS that have significant effects on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustments in the next year are disclosed, where applicable, in the relevant notes to the financial statements. The areas involving higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are critical to the financial statements are disclosed in note 4. Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported.

Page 12

Basis of Preparation (Contd)

Amended standards adopted by the company In the current year, the company has applied amendments to IAS 1 that was published by IASB and is mandatorily effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012. Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income The amendments introduce new terminology, whose use is not mandatory. Under the amendments to IAS 1, the statement of comprehensive income is renamed as the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (and the income statement is renamed as the statement of profit or loss). The amendments to IAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to IAS 1 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories in the other comprehensive income section: (a) Items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) Items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis the amendments do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or net of tax. New standards and amendments issued but not yet effective The following new standards and amendments to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 or later periods, and the company has not early adopted them. (i) Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015). IFRS 9 is a new standard for financial instruments that is ultimately intended to replace IAS 39 in its entirety. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on the entitys business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. The guidance in IAS 39 on impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting continues to apply. With regard to financial liabilities, the recognition and measurement guidance is unchanged from IAS 39. An additional presentational requirement has been added for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. (ii) IFRS 13 - Disclosures of Fair Value Measurement (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change the requirements regarding which items should be measured or disclosed at fair value. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal market at the measurement date under current market condition regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. The application of IFRS 13 may result in changes in how entities determine fair values for financial reporting purposes. In addition, IFRS 13 requires extensive disclosures about fair value measurements.

Page 13

Basis of Preparation (Contd)

New standards and amendments issued but not yet effective (Contd) Management is still determining the likely impact of these standards, however, no significant impact is expected, except for certain additional disclosures. Other amendments are unlikely to have an impact on the companys financial statements and therefore has not been analysed in detail. (c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in banks and investments in money market instruments, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within interest bearing borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. (d) Comparatives

Where necessary, amounts relating to prior years have been reclassified to facilitate comparison and achieve consistency in disclosure with current year amounts. (e) Dividend Distribution

Dividend distribution to the companys shareholders is recognised as a liability in the companys financial statements in the period in which the dividends are proposed or declared by the companys directors. (f) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share (EPS) is determined by dividing profit after income tax attributable to shareholders of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share Diluted EPS is the same as the basic EPS as there are no ordinary shares which are considered dilutive.

Page 14

Financial Assets

The company only has receivables under its financial assets category. Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. The companys receivables comprise trade and other receivables. (h) Foreign Currency Transactions

Functional and presentation currency The company operates in Fiji and hence its financial statements are presented in Fiji dollars, which is the company's functional and presentation currency. Transactions and balances All foreign currency transactions during the financial year are brought to account using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items at reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise. (i) Income Tax

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current tax The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred tax Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects either accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Page 15

Income Tax (Contd)

Current and deferred tax for the period Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when it relates to items credited or debited outside profit or loss (whether in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case the deferred tax is also recognised outside profit or loss, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination. (j) Inventories

Inventories comprising of packaging materials, finished goods, spare parts and goods in transit are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable values. Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead expenses, are assigned to inventory on hand by the method most appropriate to each particular class of inventory, with the majority being valued on a weighted average basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. Cost includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing condition and location. Allowances for inventory obsolescence are raised based on a review of inventories. Inventories considered obsolete or unsaleable are provided for in the year in which they are identified. (k) Issued Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. (l) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. (m) Revenue Recognition Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of rice and allied products in the ordinary course of the companys activities. Revenue is shown net of Value Added Tax, returns, rebates and discounts. Revenue from the sale of products is recognised when the company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods. Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. Freight recovery is recognised when the company has rendered the services.

Trade and Other Payables

Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the company becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services. (o) Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. An allowance for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss within administration and operating expenses. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to other operating revenue in profit or loss. (p) Value Added Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Value Added Tax (VAT), except: i) ii) where the amount of VAT incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; and for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of VAT.

The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. NOTE 3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The companys activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, regulatory risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flows interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The companys overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the companys financial performance. Risk management is carried out by management under policies approved by the board of directors. The management identifies and evaluates financial risks in close co-operation with the companys operating units. The board provides policies for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and investment of excess liquidity.

THE RICE COMPANY OF FIJI LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [CONT'D] FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 NOTE 3. (a) i) FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTD)

Page 17

Market Risk Foreign exchange risk

The company undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are closely managed within approved policy parameters. Changes in the exchange rate by 10% (increase or decrease) are not expected to have a significant impact on the net profit and equity balances currently reflected in the companys financial statements. ii) Price risk

The company does not have investments in equity securities and hence is not exposed to equity securities price risk. iii) Regulatory risk

The companys profitability can be significantly impacted by regulatory agencies established which govern the business sector in Fiji. Specifically retail and wholesale prices are regulated by Fiji Commerce Commission. iv) Cash flows and fair value interest rate risk

As the company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the companys income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. (b) Credit Risk

Credit risk is managed by management with board oversight. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables. As part of its risk control procedures, an assessment of the credit quality of a new customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors, is carried out prior to the credit approval. Individual credit risk limits are then set based on the assessments done. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored. Credit sales to retail customers are settled in either cash or cheques. (c) Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash to meet the companys present obligations. The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. All of the company's financial liabilities, i.e., trade and other payables at balance date are expected to be settled within the next 12 months. NOTE 4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

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 significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

THE RICE COMPANY OF FIJI LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [CONT'D] FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 NOTE 4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (CONTD)

Page 18

(a) Impairment of accounts receivable Impairment of accounts receivable balances is assessed at an individual as well as on a collective level. At a collective level, all debtors in the +90 days category (excluding those covered by a specific impairment provision) which are estimated to have been impaired, are accordingly provided for based on historical loss experience and prevailing conditions. Receivables considered uncollectable are written off in the year in which they are identified. (b) Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely level of future taxable profits together with future planning strategies. (c) Provision for stock obsolescence Provision for stock obsolescence is assessed and raised on a specific basis based on a review of inventories. Inventory balances are reviewed continuously and inventories considered obsolete or non-saleable are written off in the period in which they are identified. The managements decision in maintaining provision for stock obsolescence requires judgment and estimates of future realisable values in relation to slow moving and old inventories. NOTE 5.
