Key Highlights

During the half year ended 31 December 2021, the Company achieved the following:

  • The Group had recorded its highest increase in sales for the half-year ended being 45% up from the half-year ended 31 December 2020.
  • The Group commenced its staff recruitment in China for additional sales personnel to achieve its target growth in sales for the financial year ending 30 June 2022.
  • The Company's preparation to list on the ASX in early 2022 with a minimum subscription of $7,000,000 or maximum subscription of $10,000,000 at listing price of $0.20 per share.
  • Incorporation of RLF Carbon Pty Ltd for research and development into the reduction of carbon emissions for its growers using RLF products.
  • Completion of funding from Convertible Notes of $3,000,000 (before costs) which will be converted into shares for noteholders at the Company's IPO in early 2022.
  • Completion of the acquisition of RLF IP Co Pty Ltd ("RLF IP Co") and RLF Distribution Co Pty Ltd ("RLF Distribution Co") from Rural Liquid Fertilisers Pty Ltd ("RLF Australia") and RLF Global Pty Ltd ("RLF Global").
  • Approval from its shareholders to consolidate its issued capital and change of name from "Rural Liquid Fertilisers Asia Ltd" to "RLF AgTech Ltd".
  • Strengthening of RLF AgTech's board by the appointment of 3 experienced Non-Executive Directors.

Strong demand in RLF products in China with increase in sales

The Group recorded its highest increase in revenues for the half-year ended being 45% up from the halfyear ended 31 December 2020. This increase comes after the decrease in sale levels during the pandemic. The increase in revenues for the current half-year ended is a signal of the business that it is beginning to operate at pre-pandemic levels. To support and grow the business further in China, the Group had commenced recruitment of an additional 25 sales personnel during the current half-year end to achieve its target growth in sales for the financial year ending 30 June 2022.

Revenue cycles and non-operational expenditure

The Company has a revenue cycle that is shaped by seasonal demand which is generally typical of agriculture companies. Approximately one-third of sales occur between the months July to December, with the remaining two-thirds of sales occurring between January and June. The following table details the actual percentages for the financial year end 30 June 2021 and comparative financial year end 30 June 2020.

First Half FY21 FY20
Period 1 July to 31 December 27% 39%
Second half
Period 1 January to 30 June 73% 61%

Also during the half-year ended, the Company incurred higher than normal non-operational expenditure of $1,494,700 comprising professional fees of $512,257 which includes legal, corporate advisory, accounting and marketing fees in relation to the IPO and share based payments of $982,443.

RLF AgTech listing in early 2022

The Company received approval of its In-Principle application with the ASX during the half-year and its prospectus was in near completion at the end of December 2021. The Company is anticipating to raise a minimum of $7,000,000 or maximum of $10,000,000 at a listing price of $0.20 per share.

Net Zero initiative – Soil Carbon scheme

The Company had created a wholly owned subsidiary, RLF Carbon Pty Ltd, as it looks to allocate a portion of funding into research and development in the areas of reducing farm emissions and the generation of Australia Carbon Credit Units (ACCU) using its technology.

Convertible Note Funding

The Company successfully completed a convertible note raising in October 2021 of $3,000,000 (before costs). Each note has a face value of $1 and this entitles noteholders to convert their note holding into shares if the Company lists on the ASX or if the business was sold to a third party. More information about the terms and conditions of the convertible notes is detailed in this financial report.

Acquisition of RLF IP Co and RLF Distribution Co

In preparation of listing on the ASX, the Company successfully completed the acquisition of RLF IP Co and RLF Distribution Co from RLF Australia and RLF Global during the current half-year ended. This acquisition meant the Company had 100% ownership of IP and distribution rights of RLF products. In Australia the Company signed an exclusive distribution agreement whereby the licensed distributor in Australia pays a royalty to RLF Agtech for the sale of RLF products into the Australian market. In addition to this revenue stream RLF Agtech will directly manage and earn revenue from product sales into all customers in the emerging carbon markets in Australia. With full ownership of RLF IP and distribution rights, the Company

is put into a strong market position to grow its existing products and extend its customer base on a global scale. The consideration of RLF IP Co and RLF Distribution Co was as follows:

  • $2,000,000 cash was paid to RLF Australia;
  • 43,125,000 RLF AgTech shares were issued to RLF Australia and RLF Global and;
  • 24,375,000 deferred consideration RLF AgTech shares were issued to RLF Australia and RLF Global and these are subject to financial performance milestones.

More information about the terms and conditions of the consideration is detailed in this financial report.

Other Corporate activities

The Company had appointed Mr Donald McLay on 1 August 2021 as Non-Executive Chairman and Ms Liza Carpene and Mr Paul McKenzie as Non-Executive Directors on 15 December 2021. Both Ms Carpene and Mr McKenzie had also been appointed as Chairperson of the Remuneration Committee and Audit and Risk Committee respectively. The new Directors of the Company bring a high level of expertise and knowledge with ASX and agriculture companies and will strengthen the Board's current skillset. In addition, the Company appointed Mrs Su-Mei Sain as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") who has knowledge and experience in listed entities in particular high growth start-up companies. The Company has granted all Non-Executive Directors and the CFO incentive options as well performance rights to the Executive Directors to align the objectives and strategy of the Group.

Corporate Information

RLF AgTech Ltd is an unlisted public Company limited by shares and incorporated in Australia. The nature of operations and principal activities of the Company and its controlled entities are described in the Directors' Report.

Statement of Compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year financial report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide a full understanding of the financial performance, financial position, financing and investing activities of the Group as the full financial report. Accordingly, this half-year financial report is to be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2021 and any public announcements made during the following half-year.

For the purpose of preparing the interim financial statements, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

The consolidated half-year financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 13 April 2022.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated general purpose financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected financial assets and financial liabilities. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group's annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021.

Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the entity

There were no new standards issued since 30 June 2021 that have been applied by the Group. The 30 June 2021 annual report disclosed that the Group anticipated no material impacts (amounts recognised and/or disclosed) arising from initial application of those standards issued but not yet applied at that date, and this remains the assessment as at 31 December 2021.

Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the half-year financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense.

The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the half-year financial report, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group's last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021.

NOTE 2. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Trade receivables - 501,053

Related party trade receivables - 310,596
Other receivables 41,038 272,574
471,729 1,290,183

Due to the short term nature of the trade and other receivables, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value. The Group measures its trade and other receivables at amortised cost. None of these are past due or impaired.

The Group applies the simplified approach in providing for expected credit losses. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience and analysis of the debtors current financial position. There has been no change in the estimation process used during the current financial period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RLF AGTECH LIMITED

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of RLF AgTech Limited ("the Company") and its subsidiaries ("the Controlled Entities") which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other selected explanatory notes, and the directors' declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of RLF AgTech Limited and Controlled Entities does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a. Giving a true and fair view of RLF AgTech Limited financial position as at 31 December 2021 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
  • b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.

Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of RLF AgTech Limited are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity's financial position as at 31 December 2021 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
