Camellia Plc
Interim report 2007
Chairman's statement
The pre-tax profit from continuing operations of £12,255,000 for the six months
to 30 June 2007 compares with a profit of £4,277,000 for the same period last
year.
The profit for the six months under review includes a significant increase in
our share of the profits of Siegfried Holding AG and also treats BF&M Limited, a
Bermudian insurance company, as an associate for the first time. The results
also include a profit of £5,313,000 on the disposal of 'available-for-sale'
investments being principally our shareholding in Getaz Romang Holding SA and a
biological asset fair value loss of £637,000 compared with a profit of
£2,471,000 in the same period last year.
The board has declared an interim dividend of 20p per ordinary share payable on
8 November 2007 to shareholders on the register on 19 October 2007.
Tea
India
Tea production and prices are very similar to the previous year. Torrential rain
experienced over the last few months has presented operational difficulties and
impacted adversely on the movement of teas and on sales into the domestic
market.
Bangladesh
Tea production is ahead of last year but prices are lower. Bangladesh has also
suffered from excessive rainfall. After a period of unrest the political
situation is now quiet although there is no definite timetable for a return to
democratic elections.
Africa
Kenya has enjoyed a significant increase in production in the first half of the
year and prices, having reacted downwards in the early months, have strengthened
recently although they are still well below the rate prevailing in the previous
year. The proposed phased sale by Kakuzi of the Siret Tea Company awaits
Presidential consent. The Kenya shilling remains at high levels against the US
dollar and continues to affect margins negatively.
Malawi has received good rains, with increased production and satisfactory
prices. The prospects for the year are encouraging. Logistical difficulties in
respect of the shipment of tea remain a problem.
Edible nuts
Macadamia production in Malawi is expected to be above last year but that in
South Africa will be below. The market continues to be very selective at lower
prices. 2007 will be an 'off' year for our Californian pistachio orchards but
early indications are that the crop will be higher than expected.
Other horticulture
Very cold weather in both Chile and California has reduced citrus crops
significantly. Higher prices in California have mitigated the situation somewhat
but this is not the case in Chile where the number of boxes suitable for export
will be reduced.
Table grape production and prices in Chile improved on last year but wine grape
production in both Chile and South Africa are below the previous year.
Avocado production in Kenya is on a par with last year but shipping difficulties
as a result of port congestion and lack of containers could result in quality
problems when the fruit arrives at its destination.
Despite difficult weather conditions in Bangladesh, rubber production and prices
are expected to show an improvement over last year.
Prices for maize and soya have shown an upward trend recently and prospects for
our Brazilian operations are encouraging.
Food storage and distribution
Trading conditions at Associated Cold Stores & Transport remain difficult. 2007
will bear the cost of a far-reaching re-organisation of management and
procedures which will put the company in a stronger position for the future.
Engineering
Our engineering companies continue to perform well, benefiting from a generally
strong market, although there is some evidence that demand is weakening in the
Aberdeen area. Skilled staff shortages remain a major problem.
Banking
The Duncan Lawrie banking and asset management business performance has been
satisfactory in the first half of the year. The current volatility in stock
markets will present challenges to the management team in the second half of the
year.
Pharmaceutical
Siegfried Holding AG revenues increased by 8.6% over the same period last year.
Net profits increased due to the sale of the Sidroga division and other
divestments. The Actives Business Unit generated most of the revenue increase
but the Generics Unit was also able to increase revenues despite a difficult
market environment.
Other associated undertakings
BF&M Limited has recently announced record net earnings for the six months to 30
June 2007.
Both United Leasing and United Insurance in Bangladesh have suffered from a
reduction in demand following the political uncertainties of the last few
months.
Prospects
Overall our tea production is expected to increase over last year mainly as a
result of the high crop in Kenya and Malawi. Prices particularly in Kenya and
Bangladesh will be lower than last year. The weakness of the US dollar and
shipping problems also conspire to make life difficult. These factors and
climatic uncertainties make it difficult to predict the outcome for the full
year.
Mr Keith FitzGerald
In conclusion it is with much sadness that I advise you that our Chairman
Emeritus, Mr Keith FitzGerald, passed away on 13th September. Keith's
contribution to the success of the Camellia Group was immeasurable and he will
be greatly missed by all his friends and colleagues.

Notes to the accounts
1 Basis of preparation
These financial statements are the interim consolidated financial statements of
Camellia Plc, a company registered in England, and its subsidiaries (the
'group') for the six month period ended 30 June 2007 (the 'Interim Report').
They should be read in conjunction with the Report and Accounts (the 'Annual
Report') for the year ended 31 December 2006.
The financial information contained in this interim report has not been audited
and does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 240 of
the Companies Act 1985. A copy of the statutory accounts for the year ended 31
December 2006 has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors'
opinion on these accounts was unqualified and does not contain a statement made
under Section 237(2) and Section 237(3) of the Companies Act 1985.
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') including IAS 34 'Interim
Financial Reporting'. For these purposes, IFRS comprise the Standards issued by
the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') and Interpretations issued
by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ('IFRIC')
that have been endorsed by the European Union.
These interim financial statements have also been prepared on the basis of
accounting policies consistent with those applied in the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2006.
The group adopted IFRS 7 (Financial Instruments: Disclosures) on 1 January 2007.
As IFRS 7 is a disclosure standard only, there is no impact from the adoption of
this standard on these interim financial statements.
Where necessary, the comparatives have been reclassified from the previously
reported interim results to take into account any presentational changes made in
the Annual Report.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the earnings
attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares in issue of 2,779,500 (2006: six months 2,779,864 - year 2,779,784),
which excludes 62,500(2006: six months 62,500 - year 62,500) shares held by the
group as treasury shares.
10 Property, plant and equipment
During the six months ended 30 June 2007 the group acquired assets with a cost
of £3,493,000 (2006: six months £4,908,000 - year £8,759,000). Assets with a
carrying amount of £1,767,000 were disposed of during the six months ended 30
June 2007 (2006: six months £296,000 - year £1,667,000).
11 Investments in associates and financial assets
With effect from 1 January 2007, the group has representation on the board of
BF&M Limited and as a result the investment in this company has been
reclassified from a financial asset to an investment in associate. The result of
this reclassification is that investments in associates increase by £14,483,000,
being the equity value and financial assets decline by £17,231,000, being the
market value. The difference of £2,748,000 has been transferred to reserves.
12 Cash and cash equivalents
Included in cash and cash equivalents of £252,186,000 (2006: six months
£210,055,000 - year £210,560,000) are cash and short-term funds, time deposits
with banks and building societies and certificates of deposit amounting to
£240,820,000 (2006: six months £197,343,000 - year £198,422,000), which are held
