Chairman's Interim Statement
The interim results for the Group for the six months to 30 June
2023 are as follows:
Revenue from continuing operations for the six months to 30 June
2023 was $173.4 million, 30% lower than $249.2 million reported for
the same period of 2022. The Group's gross profit from continuing
operations was $33.2 million compared to $90.3 million for the
first six months of 2022. Overall profit before tax, after
biological assets ("BA") movement, from continuing operations for
the first half of 2023 was 64% lower at $32.5 million against $89.5
million for the corresponding period in 2022. There was no reversal
of impairment losses for the first half of 2023 compared to a net
reversal of impairment losses of $0.2 million for the first half of
2022. The BA movement adjustment from continuing operations for the
first half of 2023 was a credit of $0.3 million as compared to a
debit of $5.3 million for the same period last year. The lower
profit was mainly attributed to lower Crude Palm Oil ("CPO")
prices, as well as lower crop productions in Bengkulu and North
Sumatra and lower third party crops.
Fresh Fruit Bunches ("FFB") production from continuing
operations for the first half of 2023 was 5% lower at 522,700mt
compared to 550,800mt for the same period in the previous year due
to lower production in Bengkulu and North Sumatera regions. The
harvest in Bengkulu was lower by 16% due primarily to the reduction
of almost 1,300ha of matured area of which 985ha was replanted in
2022 while another 682ha was cleared for replanting in the first
half of 2023. Production in Kalimantan continued to recover by
registering a 10% increase in harvest with 500ha coming to maturity
in the first half of 2023. Bought-in crops for the first half of
2023 decreased by 10% to 501,400mt from 557,600mt for the same
period last year. The 20% increase in third party crops in
Kalimantan could not off-set a 14% decrease in bought in crops in
Bengkulu and North Sumatera. Lower crop trend faced by our estates
in North Sumatera and Bengkulu was also experienced by local
smallholders and farmers.
Operational and financial performance
For the six months ended 30 June 2023, gross profit margin from
continuing operations decreased to 19.2% from 36.2% as the Group
experienced lower CPO and palm kernel prices.
CPO price ex-Rotterdam averaged $991/mt for the first six months
to 30 June 2023, 40% lower than $1,640/mt over the same period in
2022. The rally in the first three months of 2022 was built upon;
speculation of unfavourable weather conditions in prime
soybean-producing countries which have adversely affected the
supply of soybean oil (of which CPO is the closest substitute), the
gradual re-opening of the world economy after the ravage of
Covid-19 and the disruption to supplies because of the
Russia-Ukraine conflict. As a result, the Group's average ex-mill
price was lower by 27% at $751/mt for the same period (H2 2022:
$1,035/mt). The ex-mill prices are normally at a discount to
ex-Rotterdam prices as buyers factor in logistic charges and
Indonesian CPO tax and levy, which they have to bear. Palm kernel
prices were also lower by 55% at the average price of $361/mt
against $808/mt in the same period last year.
Profit after tax from continuing operations for the six months
ended 30 June 2023 was 65% lower at $24.1 million, compared to a
profit after tax from continuing operations of $68.8 million for
the first six months of 2022.
The resulting basic earnings per share from continuing
operations for the period was 50.73cts (H1 2022: 144.73cts).
The Group's balance sheet remains strong with no outstanding
bank loans. Net assets as at 30 June 2023 were $605.5 million
compared to $585.3 million as at 30 June 2022 and $573.0 million as
at 31 December 2022. The increase in net assets from the last
interim report was attributed to profit during the period. The
Indonesian Rupiah has appreciated by 4% against the US dollar in
the first half of 2023.
As at 30 June 2023, the Group had cash and cash equivalents
including short-term investments known as fixed deposits with banks
of $261.3 million (H1 2022: $246.8 million, 31 December 2022:
$277.0 million). The Group remitted in advance about $10 million to
the Company's Registrar for payment of a dividend resulting in
lower cash position at 30 June 2023 compared to 31 December
2022.
Operating costs
Operating costs for the Indonesian operations were lower in the
first half of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 mainly due
to lower volume and prices paid for third party crops. This helped
to offset higher maintenance costs in plantations and mills and
also higher harvesting costs arising from the increase in newly
matured area. Fertiliser costs rose sharply by 7.5% in the first
half of 2023 to $17.0 million from $15.8 million for the
corresponding period in 2022. We have recently concluded a tender
to purchase fertilisers for the second half of 2023 and we are
pleased to report that prices of fertiliser have corrected sharply
by as much as 40% since peaking in the first half of 2023.
Transport costs have also increased significantly by 54% to $4.3
million from $2.8 million for the corresponding period in 2022 due
to increases in diesel prices.

The Group's six mills processed a total of 1,015,600mt in FFB
for the first half of 2023, a 9% decrease compared to 1,112,100mt
for the same period last year.
Overall CPO produced for the first half of 2023 was 7% lower at
210,900mt from 227,800mt for the corresponding period in 2022. The
oil extraction rate for the first half of 2023 was 20.8%, slight
improvement compared to 20.5% for the same period last year.
Commodity prices
The CPO price ex-Rotterdam for the first half of 2023 averaged
$991/mt, 40% lower than last year (H1 2022: $1,640/mt). CPO price
started the year at $1,060/mt and generally traded within a 12%
range peaking at $1,100/mt in early January and March 2023 before
dropping to a low of $860/mt in late May 2023. CPO price recovered
slightly to close at $955/mt at 30 June 2023. The trend of CPO
price in the first half of 2023 reflected the increase in inventory
of soft oils amidst reports of a slowdown in global demand.
Rubber price averaged $1,307/mt, 22% lower than H1 2022 at
$1,670/mt.

------- ------- ---------
The Group's new planting and replanting for the first six months
of 2023 totalled 987ha compared to 439ha for the same period last
year . In addition, Plasma planting for the period was 89ha (H1
2022: 152ha).
The Group remains optimistic that it will meet substantially its
planting target of 2,500ha (including replanting) in 2023. The
Group's total landholding from its continuing operations comprises
some 90,670ha, of which the planted area stands at around 68,580ha
(H1 2022: 67,512ha) with a balance of estimated plantable land at
9,500ha (H1 2022: 10,850ha).
The seventh mill in North Sumatera which was earmarked for
completion in the first half of 2023 has been delayed because of
the tragic explosion, as previously announced on 9 May 2023,
resulting in a loss of lives of 4 employees of the contractor
whilst conducting final trials and tests before handing over. The
police recently completed their investigation and the contractor is
now allowed access to the area to assess the damages and to
determine the extent of repairs required. We do not expect the mill
be in commercial operation until early next year.
The environment impact assessment study ("EIA") for the eighth
mill in Kalimantan has been completed. The earthworks however
cannot commence until the relevant government ministry has approved
the EIA report. The backlog of companies seeking approval of their
EIA reports is expected to set back the commencement of earthworks
by a few months.
Dividend
The final dividend of 25.0 cents per share in respect of the
year ended 31 December 2022 was paid on 7 July 2023.
As you are aware AEP has not been paying Interim dividend for a
number years, however, the Board is pleased to declare an interim
dividend of 15.0 cents per share in respect of the year ending 31
December 2023. The interim dividend will be paid on 6 October 2023
to those shareholders on the register on 8 September 2023.
Outlook
Despite a traditionally more robust FFB production in the second
half of the year, which would increase supply, CPO price is
expected to perform better due to a projected drop in soybean
production in the United States as farmers planted more corns at
the expense of soybeans. The Indonesian government strong
commitment for the B35 biodiesel mandate is expected to strengthen
local demand and should augur well for the CPO price. Russia's
recent pull out from the Black Sea Grain deal which allowed for the
secure passage of agricultural products from Ukraine's ports in the
Black Sea would also have some impact on sunflower oil and CPO
prices. We do not expect the drought induced by El Nino weather
phenomenon to have a significant effect on yield for the second
half of 2023. The effect, if any would be more prominent in
2024.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties, including the risks due
to the Covid-19 and other contagious diseases, have broadly
remained the same since the publication of the annual report for
the year ended 31 December 2022.
A more detailed explanation of the risks relevant to the Group
is on pages 31 to 36 and from pages 139 to 144 of the 2022 annual
report which is available at https:// www.angloeastern.co.uk /
.
Subsequent events
The disposal of the three non-performing plantations in South
Sumatera, namely PT Riau Agrindo Agung, PT Karya Kencana Sentosa
Tiga and PT Empat Lawang Agro Perkasa, to Mrs Lina (also known as
Liena Efendy) and Miss Lenny Nurimba on 5 July 2023 for a total
cash consideration of $8.5 million had been completed. Since the
Group is no longer in control of the subsidiaries, all the assets
and liabilities of the subsidiaries will be derecognised from July
2023 onwards.
In July 2023, the Group also completed the acquisition of 25% of
the issued share capital of PT United Kingdom Indonesia Plantations
and the 10% of the issued share capital of PT Mitra Puding Mas,
from PT. Canadianty Corporindo, the minority shareholder in
Indonesia, for a total cash consideration of $25.2million,
increasing the Group ownership interest to 100%.

Notes to the interim statements
1. Basis of preparation of interim financial statements
These interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".
They do not include all disclosures that would otherwise be
required in a complete set of financial statements and should be
read in conjunction with the 2022 Annual Report. The financial
information for the half years ended 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022
does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of
Section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006 and has been neither
audited nor reviewed pursuant to guidance issued by the Auditing
Practices Board.
Basis of preparation
The annual financial statements of Anglo-Eastern Plantations Plc
are prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting
Standards. The comparative financial information for the year ended
31 December 2022 included within this report does not constitute
the full statutory accounts for that period. The statutory Annual
Report and Financial Statements for 2022 have been filed with the
Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditors' Report on the
Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2022 was unqualified,
did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did
not contain a statement under Sections 498(2) or 498(3) of the
Companies Act 2006.
The Directors have a reasonable expectation, having made the
appropriate enquiries, that the Group has control of the monthly
cashflows and that the Group has sufficient cash resources to cover
the fixed cashflows for a period of at least 12 months from the
date of approval of this interim report. For these reasons, the
Directors adopted a going concern basis in the preparation of the
interim report. The Directors have made this assessment after
consideration of the Group's budgeted cash flows and related
assumptions including appropriate stress testing of identified
uncertainties, specifically on the potential shut down of the
entire operations if all the plantations are infected with
Coronavirus as well as the impact on the demand for palm oil due to
the Coronavirus pandemic. Stress testing of other identified
uncertainties was undertaken on primarily commodity prices and
currency exchange rates.
Changes in accounting standards
The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of
computation are followed in these condensed consolidated financial
statements as were applied in the Group's latest annual audited
financial statements.

cash flows are affected by timing of revenue recognition; and
-- Enable users to understand the relationship with revenue
segment information provided in note 5.
There is no right of return and warranty provided to the
customers on the sale of products and services rendered.

* South Sumatera represents the operations which have been
discontinued and have therefore been separated from the continuing
operations.
In the 6 months to 30 June 2023, revenue from 4 customers of the
Indonesian segment represent approximately $85.8m (H1 2022:
$156.8m) of the Group's total revenue. In the year 2022, revenue
from 4 customers of the Indonesian segment represent approximately
$263.0m of the Group's total revenue for continuing operations. An
analysis of this revenue is provided below. Although Customers 1 to
3 each contribute over 10% of the Group's total revenue, there was
no over reliance on these Customers as tenders were performed on a
weekly basis. Three of the top four customers were the same as in
the year to 31 December 2022.

--------- ------- --------- ------- --------- -------
Financial instruments not measured at fair value include cash
and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other
payables, and borrowings due within one year.
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and
cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other
payables and borrowings due within one year approximates their fair
value.
All non-current assets, non-current receivables and long-term
loan are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs
used in determining the fair value measurement of non-current
receivables and borrowings due after one year, as well as the
inter-relationship between key unobservable inputs and fair value,
are set out in the table below:

Tiga and PT Empat Lawang Agro Perkasa, to Mrs Lina (also known as
Liena Efendy) and Miss Lenny Nurimba on 5 July 2023 for a total
cash consideration of $8.5 million had been completed. Since the
Group is no longer in control of the subsidiaries, all the assets
and liabilities of the subsidiaries will be derecognised from July
2023 onwards.
In July 2023, the Group also completed the acquisition of 25% of
the issued share capital of PT United Kingdom Indonesia Plantations
and the 10% of the issued share capital of PT Mitra Puding Mas,
