Commenting on the results, Carl McCann, Chairman, said:

"Total Produce has delivered a very strong performance in the first six months of 2016. Revenue grew 10.4% with an 11.6% increase in adjusted earnings per share. The Group continued its expansion in North America in 2016, acquiring 65% of Progressive Produce, a company headquartered in Los Angeles. In addition, the Group made a number of other investments to complement its existing businesses. The Group continues to actively pursue further investment opportunities.

We are pleased to announce a 10.0% increase in the interim dividend to 0.8096 cent per share. The Group is now targeting increased full year earnings at the top end of the previously announced range of 10.50 to 11.50 cent per share."

 Overview 
 
 Total Produce (the 'Group') has delivered a very strong performance 
  in the first half of 2016. Total revenue, adjusted EBITA and adjusted 
  fully diluted earnings per share grew by 10.4%, 13.2% and 11.6% respectively. 
  The results benefited from acquisitions completed in the period and 
  a circa 5 per cent like-for-like growth in revenue on the back of both 
  volume growth and higher average prices. The Group continues to be 
  cash generative with operating cashflows of EUR32.5m (2015: EUR27.3m) 
  before normal seasonal working capital outflows. 
 
  The Board is pleased to announce a 10.0% increase in the interim dividend 
  to 0.8096 (2015: 0.736) cent per share. 
 
 Operating review 
 
 Total revenue increased 10.4% to EUR1.91 billion (2015: EUR1.73 billion) 
  with adjusted EBITA up 13.2% to EUR37.9m (2015: EUR33.5m). The results 
  benefited from the contribution of acquisitions completed in the past 
  twelve months, a strong operational performance offset in part by a 
  small negative impact on translation to Euro of the results of foreign 
  currency denominated operations. On a like-for-like basis, excluding 
  acquisitions, divestments and currency translation, revenue was circa 
  5% higher on the back of both volume growth and higher average prices. 
 
  The table below details a segmental breakdown of the Group's revenue 
  and adjusted EBITA for the six months ended 30 June 2016. Each of the 
  operating segments is primarily involved in the procurement, marketing 
  and distribution of hundreds of lines of fresh produce. Each segment 
  also includes businesses involved in the marketing and distribution 
  of healthfoods and consumer products. Segment performance is evaluated 
  based on revenue and adjusted EBITA.

 Europe - Eurozone 
 This segment includes the Group's businesses in France, Ireland, Italy, 
  the Netherlands and Spain. Revenue increased by 4.4% to EUR870m (2015: 
  EUR833m) with an 8.9% increase in adjusted EBITA to EUR13.3m (2015: 
  EUR12.2m). The increase was helped by the contributions of recent acquisitions 
  and net volume growth. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, revenue 
  on a like-for-like basis was up 2% on prior year due to volume growth 
  with prices similar to the prior year. 
 Europe - Non-Eurozone 
  This segment includes the Group's businesses in the Czech Republic, 
  Poland, Scandinavia and the UK. Revenue increased by 5.8% to EUR811m 
  (2015: EUR767m) with adjusted EBITA increasing by 5.1% to EUR19.8m 
  (2015: EUR18.8m). Drivers of growth include incremental contributions 
  from acquisitions, good trading conditions and a strong operational 
  performance. The reported performance was slightly impacted on the 
  translation of the results of foreign currency denominated operations 
  to Euro due to the weakening of Sterling in the period. On a like-for-like 
  basis excluding acquisitions, divestments and currency translation, 
  revenue was circa 6% ahead of the prior year with a combination of 
  single digit increases in both volumes and average prices. 
 
  Whilst the outcome of the recent referendum in the UK, where the electorate 
  vote to leave the European Union, created some macroeconomic uncertainties, 
  it is not expected to have a material impact on the Group. 
 
 International 
  This division includes the Group's businesses in North America and 
  India. Revenue increased by 65.4% to EUR261m (2015: EUR158m) with adjusted 
  EBITA increasing 94.2% to EUR4.9m (2015: EUR2.5m). The results benefited 
  from the incremental contribution from the Progressive Produce acquisition 
  in February 2016 and a strong trading performance in existing businesses 
  offset in part by a loss on disposal of a US sports nutrition business. 
 
 
 Financial Review 
 
 Revenue and Adjusted EBITA 
 An analysis of the factors influencing the changes in revenue and adjusted 
  EBITA are discussed in the operating review above. 
 
 Share of profits of joint ventures and associates 
 The share of after tax profits of joint ventures and associates increased 
  in the period to EUR5.5m (2015: EUR4.9m) assisted by the incremental 
  impact of acquisitions. Dividends received from joint ventures and 
  associates in the period amounted to EUR7.8m (2015: EUR7.3m). 
 
 Operating Profit 
 Operating profit which is the Group's adjusted EBITA less exceptional 
  items, acquisition related intangible asset amortisation charges and 
  costs, fair value movements on contingent consideration and the Group's 
  share of its joint ventures and associates tax, interest and amortisation 
  charges increased by 4.3% in the period to EUR28.4m (2015: EUR27.2m). 
 
 Net Financial Expense 
 Net financial expense in the period decreased to EUR2.8m (2015: EUR3.0m) 
  with lower cost of funding offsetting higher average net debt. The 
  Group's share of the net interest expense of joint ventures and associates 
  in the period was EUR0.2m (2015: EUR0.1m). Net interest cover for the 
  period was 13.5 times based on adjusted EBITA. 
 
 Profit Before Tax 
 Excluding acquisition related intangible asset amortisation charges 
  and costs and fair value movements on contingent consideration, the 
  adjusted profit before tax increased by 15.1% in the period to EUR34.9m 
  (2015: EUR30.3m). Statutory profit before tax after these items was 
  EUR25.6m (2015: EUR24.2m). 
 
 Non-Controlling Interests 
 The non-controlling interests' share of after tax profits in the period 
  was EUR5.4m (2015: EUR3.9m). Included in the charge was the non-controlling 
  interests' share of acquisition related intangible asset amortisation 
  charges and costs with related tax impact of EUR0.8m (2015: EUR0.7m). 
  Excluding these non-trading items, the non-controlling interests' share 
  of after tax profits increased by EUR1.6m. The increase in the period 
  was due primarily to the non-controlling interests' share of profits 
  in recent acquisitions completed in the past twelve months. 
 
 Adjusted and Basic Earnings per Share 
 Adjusted earnings per share increased 11.6% in the six month period 
  to 6.16 cent per share (2015: 5.52 cent) assisted by the incremental 
  contribution from new acquisitions and the positive impact of the share 
  buy back program completed in January 2016. Management believes that 
  adjusted earnings per share, which excludes exceptional items, acquisition 
  related intangible asset amortisation charges and costs, fair value 
  movements on contingent consideration and related tax on these items, 
  provides a fairer reflection of the underlying trading performance 
  of the Group. 
 
  Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share after these 
  non-trading items amounted to 4.77 cent per share (2015: 4.69 cent) 
  and 4.70 cent per share (2015: 4.66 cent) respectively. 
 
  Note 6 of the accompanying financial information provides details of 
  the calculation of the respective earnings per share amounts. 
 
 
 Cash Flow and Net Debt 
 
 Net debt at 30 June 2016 was EUR95.7m compared to EUR83.9m at 30 June 
  2015 and EUR18.1m at 31 December 2015. The increase compared to 31 
  December 2015 is due to normal seasonal working capital outflows and 
  higher sales. Net debt relative to annualised adjusted EBITDA is 1.1 
  times and interest is covered 13.5 times by adjusted EBITA. In addition, 
  the Group has trade receivables financing at 30 June 2016 of EUR49.4m 
  (30 June 2015: EUR39.2m and 31 December 2015: EUR40.5m). 
 
  The Group generated EUR32.5m (2015: EUR27.3m) in operating cash flows 
  in the period before seasonal working capital outflows of EUR57.7m 
  (2015: EUR67.1m). Cash outflows on routine capital expenditure, net 
  of disposals, were EUR9.0m (2015: EUR7.5m). Dividends received from 
  joint ventures and associates in the period increased to EUR7.8m (2015: 
  EUR7.3m) while dividends paid to non-controlling interests increased 
  to EUR3.8m (2015: EUR1.1m). 
 
  Cash outflows on acquisitions amounted to EUR34.9m (2015: EUR8.1m) 
  with contingent and deferred consideration payments relating to prior 
  period acquisitions of EUR3.6m (2015: EUR9.2m). The Group received 
  cash of EUR3.8m (2015: EURNil) on the disposal of trading assets in 
  the period as set out in more detail later. In the period there were 
  cash outflows of EUR4.7m (2015: EURNil) on development capital expenditure. 
  The Group distributed EUR6.5m (2015: EUR5.9m) in dividends to equity 
  shareholders in the year and made payments of EUR6.0m (2015: EURNil) 
  acquiring its own shares. There was a positive movement of EUR2.6m 
  (2015: EUR3.5m loss) on the translation of foreign currency denominated 
  debt into Euro at 30 June 2016 due primarily to the weaker Sterling, 
  Swedish Krona and US Dollar exchange rates at the period end compared 
  to those prevailing at 31 December 2015.

 Defined Benefit Pension Obligations 
 
 The net liability of the Group's defined benefit pension schemes 
  (net of deferred tax) increased to EUR33.5m at 30 June 2016 from 
  EUR14.5m at 31 December 2015. The increase in the liability is primarily 
  due to a significant decrease in the discount rates underlying the 
  calculations of the present value of the scheme's obligations offset 
  in part by positive returns on pension scheme assets. Further details 
  are outlined in Note 7 of the accompanying financial information. 
 
 
 Shareholders' Equity 
 
 Shareholders' equity has decreased by EUR22.8m to EUR216.0m at 30 
  June 2016 after accounting for the share buy-back and pension movements 
  in the period. Profit after tax of EUR15.2m attributable to equity 
  shareholders was offset by remeasurement losses of EUR20.3m (net 
  of deferred tax) on post-employment defined benefit schemes, currency 
  translation loss of EUR5.6m on the retranslation of the net assets 
  of foreign currency denominated operations to Euro, the payment of 
  dividends of EUR6.5m to equity shareholders of the Company and the 
  share buy-back of EUR6.0m. 
 
 Development Activity 
 
 In the six months ended 30 June 2016, the Group has committed investments 
  of EUR51m including deferred and contingent consideration payable 
  of over EUR16m on the achievement of future profit targets. 
 
  On 1 February 2016, the Group acquired a 65% equity stake in Progressive 
  Produce LLC, headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Progressive 
  Produce is a grower, packer and distributor of conventional and organic 
  produce to the retail, wholesale and foodservice sectors in the US 
  and Canada. Progressive Produce was founded in 1967 and today is 
  one of California's premier produce companies with 2015 revenue in 
  excess of $200 million. An initial payment was made on closing with 
  further consideration due in 2019 contingent on the achievement of 
  future profit targets. In addition long term put and call options 
  are in place for the remaining 35% shareholding. 
 
  The Group made a number of other investments in the six month period 
  in Europe all of which complement the Group's existing activities. 
 
  Further details on 2016 development activity including details of 
  consideration paid and assets and liabilities acquired are provided 
  in Note 9 of the accompanying financial information. 
 
  In April 2016, the Group disposed of a sports nutrition business 
  in the US for total proceeds of EUR7.6m. Details of this disposal 
  are outlined in Note 9 of the accompanying financial information. 
 
  The Group continues to actively pursue further investment opportunities 
  in both new and existing markets. 
 
 Share Buy-back 
 
 On 27 January 2016, the Group completed the EUR20m share buyback 
  program that commenced on 8 October 2015 with a total of 14,017,270 
  ordinary shares being repurchased and cancelled . Within this program, 
  during January 2016, 4,073,872 of these shares were repurchased and 
  cancelled at a cost of EUR6.0m. The share buy-back programme is earnings 
  accretive. 
 
  Under the authority granted at the AGM in 2016, the Group will continue 
  to exercise this authority should the appropriate opportunity arise. 
  Under this authority, the Group is permitted to purchase up to 10% 
  of its issued share capital in the market at a price which would 
  not exceed 105% of the average price over the previous five trading 
  days. 
 
 
 Dividends 
 
 The Board has declared an interim dividend of 0.8096 (2015: 0.736) 
  cent per share, which represents a 10.0% increase on the comparative 
  period. The dividend will be paid on 14 October 2016 to shareholders 
  on the register at 16 September 2016 subject to dividend withholding 
  tax. In accordance with company law and IFRS, this dividend has not 
  been provided for in the balance sheet at 30 June 2016. 
 
 
 Summary and Outlook 
 
      Total Produce has delivered a very strong performance in the first 
       six months of 2016. Revenue grew 10.4% with an 11.6% increase in 
       adjusted earnings per share. The Group continued its expansion in 
       North America in 2016, acquiring 65% of Progressive Produce, a company 
       headquartered in Los Angeles. In addition, the Group made a number 
       of other investments to complement its existing businesses. The Group 
       continues to actively pursue further investment opportunities. 
 
       We are pleased to announce a 10.0% increase in the interim dividend 
       to 0.8096 cent per share. The Group is now targeting increased full 
       year earnings at the top end of the previously announced range of 
       10.50 to 11.50 cent per share.

 Total Produce plc 
 Notes to the Interim Results for the half-year ended 30 June 2016 
 
 
 1.          Basis of preparation 
 
    The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Total 
     Produce plc as at, and for the six months ended 30 June 2016, have 
     been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, 
     as adopted by the EU. The accounting policies and methods of computation 
     adopted in the preparation of the financial information are consistent 
     with those set out in the Group's consolidated financial statements 
     for the year ended 31 December 2015, with the exception of those 
     disclosed below, which were prepared in accordance with International 
     Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. 
 
     The interim financial information for both the six months ended 
     30 June 2016 and the comparative six months ended 30 June 2015 is 
     unaudited. The financial information for the year ended 31 December 
     2015 represents an abbreviated version of the Group's statutory 
     financial statements for that year. Those statutory financial statements 
     contained an unqualified audit report and have been filed with the 
     Registrar of Companies. 
 
     The preparation of interim financial statements requires management 
     to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application 
     of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 
     income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 
     In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, 
     the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's 
     accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty 
     were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements 
     as at and for the year ended 31 December 2015. See below for the 
     Group's accounting policy for put and call options on the shareholdings 
     of non-controlling interests. 
 
     Changes in accounting policy 
     The following are the new standards and amendments that are effective 
     for the Group's financial year ending on 31 December 2016 and that 
     had no significant impact on the results and financial position 
     of the Group for the period ended 30 June 2016: 
 
      *    Amendments to IAS 19: Employee Benefits: Defined 
           Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions 
 
 
      *    Annual improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle 
 
 
      *    Amendments to IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment 
           IAS 38 Intangible Assets: Clarification of acceptable 
           methods of depreciation and amortisation 
 
 
      *    Amendments to IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment 
           and IAS 41 Bearer Plants 
 
 
      *    Amendments to IAS 27: Consolidated and Separate 
           Financial Statements: Equity method in Separate 
           Financial Statements 
 
 
      *    Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial 
           Statements: Disclosure Initiative 
 
 
      *    Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle 
 
 
 
     Accounting policy for put options over non-controlling interest 
     shares 
     If a put option is held by a non-controlling interest ('NCI') in 
     a subsidiary undertaking, whereby the holder of the put option can 
     require the Group to acquire the NCI's shareholding in the subsidiary 
     at a future date, the Group carefully examines the nature of such 
     a put option. The Group assesses whether or not the NCI continues 
     to have a present ownership interest in the shares subject to the 
     put option. Present ownership interest can be evidenced by NCI continuing 
     to have a right to the receipt of dividends, or benefitting from 
     increases in net assets while holding a voting entitlement to the 
     shares subject to the put option. If it is deemed that the put option 
     holders continue to have a present ownership interest, the Group 
     applies the partial recognition of NCI method as follows: 
 
     (a) the Group continues to recognise the amount that would have 
     been recognised for the non-controlling interest, including an update 
     to reflect its share of profit and losses, dividends and other changes 
     (b) the Group recognises a financial liability in accordance with 
     IAS 32 being the estimate of the fair value of the consideration 
     to acquire the NCI shares that are subject to the put option and 
     records this in a separate reserve in equity; 
     (c) changes in the fair value of the financial liability are reflected 
     as a movement in the put liability reserve; and 
     (d) for presentation purposes in the balance sheet, the Group transfers 
     the non-controlling interest subject to the put as an offset to 
     the put option reserve in equity. 
 
     If the NCI put is exercised, the same treatment is applied up to 
     the date of exercise. The amount recognised as the financial liability 
     at that date is extinguished by the payment of the put option exercise. 
     If the put option expires unexercised, the position is unwound so 
     that the non-controlling interest is recognised as the amount it 
     would have been as if the put option had never been granted and 
     the financial liability is derecognised with a corresponding credit 
     to equity. 
 
     If the non-controlling interest does not have present ownership 
     rights from the put option, then the transaction is accounted for 
     as if the Group had acquired the NCI at the date of entering into 
     the put option. 
 
     Accounting policy for call options over non-controlling interest 
     shares 
     If the Group has a call option over the shares held by a NCI in 
     a subsidiary undertaking, where the Group can require the NCI to 
     sell its shareholding in the subsidiary at a future date, the option 
     is classified as a derivative and is recognised as a financial instrument 
     on inception with fair value movements recognised in the income 
     statement.

 3.    Segmental Analysis 
 
 The table below details a segmental breakdown of the Group's total 
  revenue and adjusted EBITA for the six months ended 30 June 2016, the 
  six months ended 30 June 2015 and the full year ended 31 December 2015. 
 
  In accordance with IFRS 8, the Group's reportable operating segments 
  based on how performance is currently assessed and resources are allocated 
  are as follows: 
         -   Europe - Eurozone: This reportable segment is an aggregation 
              of thirteen operating segments principally in France, Ireland, 
              Italy, the Netherlands and Spain primarily involved in the 
              procurement, marketing and distribution of fresh produce and 
              some healthfoods and consumer goods products. These operating 
              segments have been aggregated because they have similar economic 
              characteristics. 
         -   Europe - Non-Eurozone: This operating segment is an aggregation 
              of six operating segments in Scandinavia, United Kingdom, Poland 
              and the Czech Republic primarily involved in the procurement, 
              marketing and distribution of fresh produce and some healthfoods 
              and consumer goods products. These operating segments have 
              been aggregated because they have similar economic characteristics. 
         -   International: This segment is an aggregation of five operating 
              segments in North America and India primarily involved in the 
              procurement, marketing and distribution of fresh produce. The 
              North American sports nutrition business ceased trading in 
              April 2016. 
 
 Segment performance is evaluated based on revenue and adjusted EBITA. 
  Management believe that adjusted EBITA, while not a defined term under 
  IFRS, provides a fair reflection of the underlying trading performance 
  of the Group. Adjusted EBITA represents earnings before interest, tax, 
  acquisition related intangible asset amortisation charges and costs, 
  fair value movements on contingent consideration and exceptional items. 
  It also excludes the Group's share of these items within joint ventures 
  and associates. Adjusted EBITA is therefore, measured differently from 
  operating profit in the Group financial statements as explained and 
  reconciled in detail in the analysis below. 
 
  Finance costs, finance income and income taxes are managed on a centralised 
  basis. These items are not allocated between operating segments for 
  the purpose of the information presented to the Chief Operating Decision 
  Maker ('CODM') and are accordingly omitted from the detailed segmental 
  analysis that follows.

 4.   Adjusted profit before tax, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA 
 
 
 For the purpose of assessing the Group's performance, Total Produce 
  management believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITA, adjusted 
  profit before tax and adjusted earnings per share (Note 6) are the 
  most appropriate measures of the underlying performance of the Group.

 Adjusted fully diluted earnings per share 
 Management believe that adjusted fully diluted earnings per share 
  as set out below provides a fair reflection of the underlying trading 
  performance of the Group after eliminating the impact of acquisition 
  related intangible asset amortisation charges and costs, remeasurement 
  to fair value of contingent consideration estimates, property revaluations 
  and exceptional items and the related tax on these items. 
 
  Adjusted fully diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing 
  the adjusted profit attributable to ordinary shareholders (as calculated 
  below) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding 
  after adjustment for the effects of all ordinary shares and options 
  with a dilutive effect.

 The table above summarises the movements in the net liability of the 
  Group's various defined benefit pension schemes in Ireland, the UK 
  and Continental Europe in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits 
  (2011). 
 
  The Group's balance sheet at 30 June 2016 reflects pension liabilities 
  of EUR39.3m in respect of schemes in deficit, resulting in a net deficit 
  of EUR33.5m after deferred tax. 
 
  The current and past service costs and the net finance expense on 
  the net scheme liabilities are charged to the income statement. Remeasurement 
  gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. 
 
  In determining the valuation of pension obligations, consultation 
  with independent actuaries is required. The estimation of employee 
  benefit obligations requires the determination of appropriate assumptions 
  such as discount rates, inflations rates and mortality rates. 
 
  The increase in the net liability during the period was primarily 
  due to the significant decrease in discount rates which results in 
  an increase in the net present value of the obligations of these pension 
  schemes. This was offset in part by a reduction in the inflation rate 
  assumption and positive returns of 7.5% on pension scheme assets in 
  the six month period. The discount rate in Ireland and the Eurozone 
  decreased to 1.70% (31 December 2015: 2.6% and 30 June 2015: 2.50%) 
  and in the UK decreased to 3.10% (31 December 2015: 4.10% and 30 June 
  2015: 3.90%). The inflation rate in Ireland and the Eurozone decreased 
  to 1.25% (31 December 2015: 1.50% and 30 June 2015: 1.50%) and in 
  the UK decreased to 2.70% (31 December 2015: 3.00% and 30 June 2015: 
  3.00%). 
 
 
 
 8.   Dividends 
 
 
 The Board has approved an interim dividend of 0.8096 (2015: 0.736) 
  cent per share which represents a 10.0% increase on the comparative 
  period. This dividend, which will be subject to Irish withholding 
  tax rules, will be paid on 14 October 2016 to shareholders on the 
  register at 16 September 2016. In accordance with company law and 
  IFRS, this dividend has not been provided for in the balance sheet 
  at 30 June 2016. The final dividend for 2015 of EUR6,482,000 was paid 
  in May 2016. 
 
  During the period, the Group paid dividends of EUR3,766,000 (2015: 
  EUR1,107,000) to non-controlling shareholders in certain of the Group's 
  non wholly-owned subsidiaries.

   2016, the Group made a 65% investment in Progressive Produce LLC, 
   headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Progressive Produce is 
   a grower, packer and distributor of conventional and organic produce 
   to the retail, wholesale and foodservice sectors in the US. An initial 
   payment was made on closing with further consideration due in 2019 
   contingent on achievement of future profit targets. In addition to 
   this, long term put and call options are in place for the remaining 
   35% shareholding, both exercisable from early 2022. In addition to 
   this, the Group made a number of other investments in subsidiaries 
   in the Non-Eurozone division with initial payments up front with 
   further consideration payable in later years contingent on achievement 
   of future profit targets. Details of consideration and assets and 
   liabilities arising on acquisition of subsidiaries, the largest being 
   Progressive Produce is as follows:

 The principal factor contributing to the recognition of goodwill 
  of EUR37,422,000 is the realisation of costs savings and synergies 
  expected to be achieved for integrating the acquired entities, and 
  the value and skills of the assembled workforce in the acquired entitites. 
 
 
 
 The Group incurred acquisition related costs of EUR840,000 on legal 
  and professional fees and due diligence in respect of completed acquisitions. 
  This costs have been included in operating expenses in the period. 
 
  The initial assignment of fair values to net assets for all investments 
  has been performed on a provisional basis in respect of these acquisitions 
  given the timing of the completion of these transactions and will 
  be finalised within twelve months from the acquisition date, as permitted 
  by IFRS 3 (Revised) Business Combinations. 
 
 Investment in joint ventures and associates 
 The Group invested EUR3.4m in new and existing joint ventures and 
  associates including estimated contingent consideration payable on 
  investments if certain profit targets are met. The fair value of 
  the contingent consideration recognised at the date of acquisition 
  of EUR1.5m was calculated using the expected present value technique. 
 Put option liability 
  Within certain current year acquisitions, non-controlling shareholders 
  have a put option to put their shareholding to Total Produce. Up 
  to the point of exercise of these put options, the non-controlling 
  shareholder continues to have a right to dividends and voting rights 
  on the shareholdings that are subject to the put option. As outlined 
  in Note 1 of this interim statement, where the holder of the put 
  retains a present ownership interest in the shares, the Group applies 
  the partial recognition of non-controlling interest method for put 
  options. The non-controlling interest is therefore recognised in 
  the traditional manner but is transferred against the put liability 
  reserve for presentation purposes in the balance sheet. 
 
  The estimated fair value at date of acquisition for the consideration 
  on exercise of these put options was EUR17,155,000. This put option 
  liability has been recognised in a put option reserve attributable 
  to the equity holders of the parent. The valuation method applied 
  for the purposes of this fair value assessment was the option price 
  formula agreed in the share purchase agreements with the inputs based 
  on the budget plan for 2016 and an application of a steady growth 
  rate, discounted to a net present value with the assumption that 
  the put option would be exercised at the earliest possible date. 
  In accordance with the Group accounting policy for put options (partial 
  recognition of NCI method), and for presentation purposes in the 
  balance sheet, the carrying value of NCI at period end has been transferred 
  to the put option reserve. 
 Payment of contingent and deferred consideration 
  During the period, the Group paid EUR1.7m of contingent consideration 
  and EUR1.9m of deferred consideration relating to prior period acquisitions. 
 
  The Group continues to actively pursue further investment opportunities 
  in both new and existing markets.

 1. The Group has availed of the exemption under IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: 
  Disclosure for additional disclosures where fair value closely approximates 
  carrying value. 
 
  * For the purposes of this analysis prepayments have not been included 
  within other receivables. Carrying value of other financial assets, 
  trade receivables and other receivables are stated net of impairment 
  provision where appropriate and consequently fair value is considered 
  to approximate to carrying value. 
 
  A number of put and call options arising from acquisitions have immaterial 
  fair value. 
 
  The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing 
  the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: 
   *    Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets 
        for identical assets or liabilities; 
 
 
   *    Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which 
        have a significant effect on the recorded fair value 
        are observable, either directly or indirectly; 
 
 
   *    Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a 
        significant effect on the recorded fair value that 
        are not based on observable market data. 
 
 
 
  At 30 June 2016, 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2015 the Group recognised

 Contingent consideration 
 Contingent consideration represents provision for the net present 
  value of the amounts expected to be payable in respect of acquisitions 
  which are subject to earn-out arrangements. Contingent consideration 
  for each individual transaction is valued internally by the Group 
  Finance team and updated as required at each reporting period. 
 
 Put option liability 
 The put option liability represents the provision for the net present 
  value of amounts expected to be payable in respect of NCI shareholdings 
  that are subject to put options which give the put option holder the 
  right to put their shareholding to the Group. The valuation method 
  applied for the purposes of this fair value assessment is in accordance 
  with the put option price formula. The inputs used are based on the 
  budget plan for future years and the application of a steady growth 
  rate, discounted to a net present value. The Group estimates that 
  put options would be exercised at the earliest possible date.
