Financial Results Sales rose 11.4% to $115.3m Second half year 24% up on second half of prior year Net profit after tax of $7.6m achieved despite honey costs and the high New Zealand dollar Gross margin at 52% even with high honey cost shows strength of brand in pushing through price rises Balance Sheet remains in good shape Maintained dividend payout ratio of 50% of NPAT 6
Key Achievements Strategy successfully deployed for addressing honey supply shortages Investments made in building production capacity and systems infrastructure to meet growing demand Further inroads to establishing premium brand experience with opening of new tourism experience, two concept stores, Auckland Airport Kiosk and new e-commerce platform We celebrate the life and achievements of our founder, Claude Stratford on his passing at the age of 102 (and 50 weeks) 1974-2014: 40 years of delivering on our vision 7

Looking Ahead Integration of New Zealand Honey Limited the $12m acquisition we made in late June 2014 Additional supply should ensure we are no longer squeezed on cost and supply Actively seeking strategic acquisitions that fit with our brand We anticipate continued growth in revenue and net earnings Sales and profit will still be very lopsided in favour of second half. Evolution of product portfolio and any acquisitions expected to improve margin and year of two halves over time We anticipate a bigger loss at half-year than last year but an increase in net earnings for the full year. 9
