Change in Auditor

The board of directors (the "Board") of the Asian Citrus announces that HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited ("HLB") has been appointed as the new auditor of the Company with effect from 7 January 2016 to fill the vacancy following the resignation of Baker Tilly Hong Kong Limited ("Baker Tilly"). HLB shall hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company.

Baker Tilly's resignation was because an agreement could not be reached with the Company on the audit fee for the financial year ending 30 June 2016.

Baker Tilly has confirmed that there are no circumstances connected with its resignation as the auditor of the Company that should be brought to the attention of the members or creditors of the Company. The Board further confirms that Baker Tilly has not yet commenced any audit work on the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the financial year ending 30 June 2016. The Board believes that the change in auditor will not have any significant impact of the interim review for the six months ended 31 December 2015. The Board and audit committee of the Company also confirm that there is no disagreement or outstanding matters between the Company and Baker Tilly, and there are no other matters or circumstances in relation to the change in auditor of the Company that need to be brought to the attention of the members or creditors of the Company.

The Board would like to express its appreciations to Baker Tilly for its services rendered to the Company in the past.
