   REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS 
 
   The Directors present their annual report and audited financial statements 
    of VinaLand ZDP Ltd. for the year ended 30 June 2016. 
 
   Incorporation 
   VinaLand ZDP Ltd. ("the Company"), a non-cellular company limited 
    by shares, was incorporated under The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 
    on 15 November 2013. The Company's registered number is 57528. 
 
   Principal Activities 
   The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of VinaLand Limited ("the 
    Parent"), an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman 
    Islands with registered number MC-154178, together referred to as 
    "the Group". The Company was formed specifically for the issuing of 
    Zero Dividend Preference ("ZDP") Shares. It raised GBP15,000,000 before 
    expenses on 20 December 2013 by placing 15,000,000 ZDP Shares, which 
    are listed on the UK Official List and traded on the London Stock 
    Exchange by way of a standard listing. The Company has no other operations 
    or activities. 
 
   Business review and Company 
    objective 
   The objective of the Company is to provide the final capital entitlement 
    of the ZDP Shares to the holders of the ZDP Shares at the redemption 
    date of 19 December 2016. 
 
   The placing of 15,000,000 ZDP shares at 100p per share raised a net 
    total of GBP14.67million. The expenses of the placing were borne by 
    the Company. Pursuant to a loan agreement between the Company and 
    the Parent, the Company has extended a loan facility of the Net Issue 
    Proceeds of the placing, less a cash float, to the Parent. The loan 
    is unsecured and interest accrues at the same rate as the accruing 
    capital entitlement of the ZDP Shares under the Company's Articles 
    of Incorporation. The loan plus accrued interest, is repayable on 
    19 December 2016, ("the Final Repayment Date"). A non-utilisation 
    fee is receivable on the amount of the loan facility not drawn down 
    using the formula as set out in clause 4.5.1 of the Articles accruing 
    from 20 December 2013 until the Final Repayment Date, compounded daily. 
 
   A letter of support provided by the Parent has been made whereby the 
    Parent will undertake to contribute such funds as would ensure that 
    the Company will have, in aggregate, sufficient assets on 19 December 
    2016 to satisfy the final capital entitlement of the ZDP Shares of 
    126p per share, being GBP18,900,000 in total. This assumes that the 
    Parent and the Company have sufficient assets at 19 December 2016 
    to repay the ZDP Shares. To this extent, the Company is reliant upon 
    the investment performance of the Parent and subject to the principal 
    risks as set out in the Business Review contained in the Annual Report 
    of the Parent. 
 
   To protect the interests of the ZDP Shareholders, the loan agreement 
    contains a restriction on the Group incurring any such borrowings 
    (other than short-term indebtedness in the normal course of business, 
    such as when settling share transactions) except where such borrowings 
    are for the purpose of paying the final capital entitlement due to 
    the holders of ZDP Shares. 
 
   Risk management, principal risks and 
    uncertainty 
   The Board believes that the principal risk and uncertainty faced by 
    the Company is the credit risk associated with the loan made to the 
    Parent. The specific risks faced by the Parent are included within 
    its financial statements. The Directors of the Company are also directors 
    of the Parent and are therefore in a position to assess the recoverability 
    of amounts due by the Parent. Disclosure on financial risk management 
    is shown in the notes to the financial statements in note 11. 
 
   Results and dividends 
   The results for the year are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive 
    Income below in the financial statements. The Directors have not declared 
    or paid a dividend during the year. 
 
      The Chairman's report on the Group's activities for the year ended 
      30 June 2016 is contained within the Annual Report of VinaLand Limited. 
      A copy of the full VinaLand Limited 2016 Annual Report will shortly 
      be available on the Investment Manager's website, http://www.vnl-fund.com.

    by the Parent for all activities in relation to the Group. 
 
   Administration 
   The Company has entered into an agreement for the provision of administration 
    and company secretarial services ("the Administration Agreement") 
    dated 6 December 2013, with Jupiter Fund Services Limited ("Jupiter"), 
    a company regulated by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission 
    under the Protection of Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 1987. 
    Jupiter is entitled to increase its fees annually by the Guernsey 
    Retail Price Index prevailing at the time. 
 
   Under the provisions of the Administration Agreement, Jupiter has 
    delegated its company secretarial services to Jupiter Secretaries 
    Limited, which has been appointed as Company Secretary. 
 
   Investment Manager: VinaCapital Investment Management 
    Limited ("VinaCapital")

    management and real estate and development firm in Vietnam, with a

    management as at 30 June 2016. The VinaCapital Group was founded in 
    2003 and has a team of managing directors who bring extensive international 
    finance and investment experience to the firm. 
 
   For details of the Group's activities, development and performance 
    during the year to 30 June 2016 investors should refer to the 2016 
    Annual Report of VinaLand Limited, which can shortly be found on the 
    Investment Manager's website http://www.vnl-fund.com. 
 
   Capital structure 
   1 Ordinary Share of no par value was issued for GBP1 to the Parent. 
    15,000,000 ZDP Shares of GBP1 each were issued on 20 December 2013 
    pursuant to the placing. 
 
   Shareholders' funds and market capitalisation 
   At 30 June 2016, the market capitalisation of the listed debt securities 
   was GBP18,637,500 (30.06.15: GBP17,418,750) and the net asset value 
   of the Company was GBP1 (30.06.15: GBP1). 
 Going concern 
 The Company has adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial 
  statements consistent with the Parent. The Parent has adequate financial 
  resources to ensure the Company will have in aggregate sufficient 
  assets to satisfy the accrued capital entitlement and future capital 
  entitlement of the ZDP shares. 
 
  The ZDP Shares will be settled in December 2016. A decision on the 
  future activities of the Company will be taken following this. 
 
 Statement of Corporate Governance 
 The Company is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate 
  governance and the Directors are accountable to shareholders for the 
  governance of the Company's affairs. 
 
 There are two specific risks identified by the Company's Board of 
  Directors namely the risk of default by the Parent and the risk of 
  inadvertent error in the preparation of the financial statements. 
  These are addressed below: 
 
 a) The Parent is a fund listed on AIM with a NAV in excess of USD342million. 
  The Parent's Board closely monitors the risk of having insufficient 
  cash to repay the Company's loan by including it as a risk in its 
  risk register - which is reviewed each quarter by the Parent's Audit 
  Committee, and as a standing item in its quarterly board meeting. 
  The risk is addressed by reviewing the current cash holdings of the 
  Parent, the forecast net cash inflows for the period up to the Company 
  debt repayment date, and the monies retained in a specific ZDP reserve 
  account which will accumulate to the required amount in the period 
  prior to repayment. The Board of the Company is satisfied that the 
  loan from the Parent is recoverable. 
 b) The Company does not have any employees, however it employs the 
  services of Jupiter, who review the financial statements to satisfy 
  itself that they are prepared in accordance with International Financial 
  Reporting Standards and Guernsey law and do not contain material misstatements. 
  The financial statements are supported by simple spreadsheets that 
  provide the calculations in accordance with the terms of the ZDP Shares 
  issued and the loan agreement with the Parent. The calculations also 
  show the amortisation of contributions receivable from the Parent. 
  In addition to the work conducted by the aforementioned professional 
  services firm, the financial statements and calculations are also 
  reviewed in detail by the VinaCapital finance team who provide a further 
  level of comfort. The Company also employs Capita Asset Services to 
  advise the Board on their governance obligations. Finally, as the 
  financial statements are the responsibility of the Board, the board 
  members also review the financial statements prior to approval. 
 In addition to these two specific risks being addressed, the Board 
  of the Company notes that the Audit Committee of the Parent company 
  monitors the risk management procedures and oversees the internal 
  control environment of the group as a whole and the Directors see 
  no benefit in convening a separate Audit Committee for the Company. 
  The function of the parent Audit Committee provides extra comfort 
  to the Board of the Company that the general risk and control environment 
  of the Company, as a part of the Parent group, is sufficient and adequate. 
 Independent auditors 
 The Independent Auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers CI LLP, have indicated 
  their willingness to continue in office. A resolution proposing their 
  re-appointment and authorising the Directors to determine their remuneration 
  for the ensuing year will be submitted at the Annual General Meeting.

   STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES 
 
   The Directors are responsible for preparing the financial statements 
    for each financial year which give a true and fair view, in accordance 
    with applicable Guernsey law and International Financial Reporting 
    Standards ('IFRS'), of the state of affairs of the Company as at 
    the end of its financial year and of the profit or loss of the 
    Company for that year. 
 
   In preparing the Company's financial statements 
    the Directors are required to: 
 
                         -   select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 
 
                         -   make judgments and estimates that are reasonable 
                             and prudent; 
 
                         -   state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, 
                              subject to any material departures disclosed and explained 
                              in the financial statements; and 
 
                         -   prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis 
                              unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will 
                              continue in business. 
 
   The Directors confirm that they have complied with the above requirements 
    in preparing the financial statements. 
 
   The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records 
    that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial 
    position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial 
    statements have been properly prepared in accordance with The Companies 
    (Guernsey) Law 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding 
    the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps 
    for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 
 
   So far as each of the Directors is aware, there is no relevant 
    audit information of which the Company's auditors are unaware and 
    each Director has taken all the steps that a Director ought to 
    have taken to make himself aware of any relevant audit information 
    and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that 
    information. 
 
   The Directors are also responsible for ensuring that the Annual 
    Report includes information required by the Listing Rules of the 
    Financial Conduct Authority and the Disclosure, Guidance and Transparency 
    Rules ("DTR"). 
 
   In accordance with DTR 4.1.12R, ,the Directors confirm that, to 
    the best of their knowledge and belief: 
 
                         -   the financial statements, prepared in accordance with IFRS, 
                              give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial 
                              position and result of the Company as required by the DTR; 
                              and 
 
                         -   the Report of the Directors includes a fair review of the 
                              development and performance of the business and the position 
                              of the Company, together with a description of the principal 
                              risks and uncertainties that Company faces as required by 
                              the DTR 
 
 
 
 
     By order of the 
     Board

   INDEPENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF VINALAND 
    ZDP LTD. 
 
   Report on the Financial Statements 
   We have audited the accompanying financial statements of VinaLand 
    ZDP Ltd. ("the Company") which comprise the statement of financial 
    position as of 30 June 2016 and the statement of comprehensive 
    income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of 
    cash flows for the year then ended and a summary of significant 
    accounting policies and other explanatory information. 
 
   Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Statements 
   The directors are responsible for the preparation of financial 
    statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International 
    Financial Reporting Standards and with the requirements of Guernsey 
    law. The directors are also responsible for such internal controls 
    as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial 
    statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due 
    to fraud or error. 
 
   Auditors' Responsibility 
   Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 
    statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance 
    with International Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require 
    that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the 
    audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements 
    are free from material misstatement. 
 
   An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence 
    about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
    The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including 
    the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial 
    statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk 
    assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to 
    the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial 
    statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate 
    in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
    opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. 
    An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting 
    policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made 
    by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation 
    of the financial statements. 
 
   We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient 
    and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 
 
   Opinion 
   In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view 
    of the financial position of the Company as of 30 June 2016, and 
    of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then 
    ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 
    and have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements 
    of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. 
 
   Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements 
   We read the other information contained in the Annual Report and 
    consider the implications for our report if we become aware of 
    any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the 
    financial statements. The other information comprises the Company 
    Information, Board of Directors, Report of the Directors, Statement 
    of Directors' Responsibilities and Notice of Annual General Meeting. 
 
   In our opinion the information given in the Report of the Directors 
    is consistent with the financial statements. 
 
   This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only 
    for the Company's members as a body in accordance with Section 
    262 of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 and for no other purpose. 
    We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility 
    for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report 
    is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed 
    by our prior consent in writing.

 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
 FOR THE YEARED 30 JUNE 2016 
 
 1            BACKGROUND 
 
              VinaLand ZDP Ltd. ("the Company"), a non-cellular company limited by shares, was 
               incorporated under The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 on 15 November 2013. The Company's 
               registered number is 57528. 
 
              The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of VinaLand Limited ("the Parent"), an exempted 
               company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with registered number 
               MC-154178, together referred to as "the Group". The Company was especially formed 
               for the issuing of Zero Dividend Preference ("ZDP") Shares. It raised GBP15,000,000 
               before expenses on 20 December 2013 by placing 15,000,000 ZDP Shares, which are listed 
               on the UK Official List and traded on the London Stock Exchange by way of a standard 
               listing. The Company has no other operations or activities. 
 
 2            SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
 
              The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Company's financial 
               statements are set out below: 
 
        (a)   Statement of Compliance 
              The financial statements for the year to 30 June 2016 have been prepared on a going 
               concern basis in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards 
               ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. 
 
        (b)   Basis of preparation 
              The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost convention. 
 
              Standards and amendments to existing standards effective 
               1 July 2015 
              There are no standards, interpretations or amendments to existing standards that 
               are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2015 that 
               have had a material impact on the Company. 
 
              At the date of approval of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments 
               and interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, 
               and have not been adopted early by the Company. 
 
              Management anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in 
               the Company's accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective 
               date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations 
               that are expected to be relevant to the Company's financial statements is provided 
               below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not 
               expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. 
 
              Standards in issue but not 
               yet effective: 
 
                               -   Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 1) (effective for annual 
                                    periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016). 
 
                               -   IFRS 9 Financial Instruments Classification and Measurement 
                                    (effective 1 January 2018) 
 
                               -   IFRS 15 Financial Instruments, Revenue and Contracts (effective 
                                    1 January 2018) 
 
              Significant estimates, assumptions and 
        (c)    judgments 
              The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management 
               to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies 
               and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates 
               and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors 
               that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which 
               form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities 
               that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from 
               these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing 
               basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the 
               estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of 
               the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 
 
              The Company does not make use of estimates and therefore their non usage has not 
               lead to a heightened degree of uncertainty. 
 
        (d)   Foreign currency transactions 
              The financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling, which is both the presentational 
               and functional currency. Transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional 
               currency ("foreign currencies") are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at 
               the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign 
               currencies are translated into Pounds Sterling at the foreign currency closing exchange 
               rate ruling at the Statement of Financial Position date. Non-monetary assets and 
               liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are 
               translated to Pounds Sterling at the foreign currency exchange rate ruling at the 
               dates that the values were determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms 
               of historical cost in foreign currency are not retranslated. Foreign currency exchange 
               differences are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period 
               in which they arise. 
 
        (e)   Going concern 
              The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Parent 
               has agreed to support the Company's obligations and has agreed to certain protections 
               to ensure the parent retains sufficient resources to meet its obligations to the 
               Company. 
 
              A letter of support provided by the Parent has been made whereby the Parent will 
               undertake to contribute such funds as would ensure that the Company will have in 
               aggregate sufficient assets on 19 December 2016 to satisfy the final capital entitlement 
               of the ZDP Shares of 126p per share, being GBP18,900,000 in total. This assumes that 
               the Parent and the Company have sufficient assets at 19 December 2016 to repay the 
               ZDP Shares. To this extent, the Company is reliant upon the investment performance 
               of the Parent and subject to the principal risks as set out in the Business Review 
               contained in the Annual Report of the Parent. 
 
               The ZDP Shares will be settled in December 2016. A decision on the future activities 
               of the Company will be taken following this. 
 
        (f)   Specific financial instruments 
 
                     (i)           Cash and cash equivalents 
                                   Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash deposits with banks 
                                    held at fair value with original maturities of three months 
                                    or less. 
 
 
                     (ii)          Loans and receivables 
                                   The Company holds an interest bearing loan due from the Parent. 
                                    Interest is receivable on the amount of the loan drawn down 
                                    using the formula set out in clause 4.5.1 of the Articles of 
                                    Incorporation accruing from the draw down date, until the Final 
                                    Repayment Date compounded daily. A non-utilisation fee is receivable 
                                    on the amount of the loan facility not drawn down using the 
                                    formula as set out in clause 4.5.1 of the Articles accruing 
                                    from the 20 December 2013 until the Final Repayment Date, compounded 
                                    daily. 
 
                                   All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at cost, net 
                                    of issue costs, being the fair value of the consideration received 
                                    associated with the borrowings. After initial recognition, loans 
                                    and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using 
                                    the effective interest rate method. Amortised cost is calculated 
                                    by taking into account any issue costs and any discount or premium 
                                    on settlement. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement 
                                    of comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised 
                                    as well as through the amortisation process. Liabilities are 
                                    derecognised when they are extinguished - that is, when the 
                                    obligation attached to the liability is discharged, is cancelled 
                                    or expires. 
 
                                   Impairment of financial 
                                    assets 
                                   The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether 
                                    there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group 
                                    of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group 
                                    of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred 
                                    only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result 
                                    of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition 
                                    of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) 
                                    has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial 
                                    asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. 
 
                                   For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is 
                                    measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount 
                                    and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding 
                                    future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted 
                                    at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The 
                                    carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the 
                                    loss is recognised in the income statement. 
 
                                   If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss 
                                    decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an 
                                    event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as 
                                    an improvement in the debtor's credit rating), the reversal 
                                    of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in 
                                    the income statement. 
 
                    (iii)          Trade receivables 
                                   Receivables are amounts due arising from activities performed 
                                    in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected 
                                    in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the 
                                    business if longer), they are classified as current assets. 
                                    If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Trade receivables 
                                    are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured 
                                    at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less 
                                    provision for impairment. 
                     (iv)          Borrowings 
                                   Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction 
                                    costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised 
                                    cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction 
                                    costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income 
                                    statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective 
                                    interest method. 
 
                                   Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific 
                                    date, are classified as liabilities. The dividends on these 
                                    preference shares are recognised in the income statement as 
                                    interest expense. 
 
                     (v)           Trade payables 
                                   Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services 
                                    that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from 
                                    suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities 
                                    if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal 
                                    operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are 
                                    presented as non-current liabilities. 
 
                                   Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently 
                                    measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 
 
        (g)   Income and expense recognition 
              Income and expenses, unless otherwise stated, are recognised in the Statement of 
               Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis. 
 
        (h)   Taxation 
              The Company is eligible to be exempt from Guernsey Income Tax under the provisions 
               of The Income tax (Exempt Bodies) (Guernsey) Ordinance 1989. An annual cost of GBP1,200 
               applies for this exemption. 
 
        (i)   Operating segments 
              The Board sets the Company's strategy in accordance with the principal objective 
               and therefore retains full responsibility for investment policy and strategy. The 
               Board will always act under the terms of the Prospectus. The Board has considered 
               the requirements of IFRS 8 'Operating Segments'. The Board is of the opinion that 
               the Company operates in one reportable industry segment and therefore no segmental 
               reporting is required. 
 
              Offsetting financial 
        (j)    instruments 
              Financial instruments are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of 
               Financial Position only when there is currently a legally enforceable right to offset 
               the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise 
               the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 
 
        (k)   Share capital 
              Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Mandatorily redeemable preference shares 
               are classified as liabilities (see note 7). 
 3            RETURN PER ZDP SHARE 
 
              The capital return per ZDP Share of 9.82p (30.06.15: 9.00p) is based on appropriations 
               during the year of GBP1,472,499 and on 15,000,000 ZDP Shares, being the weighted 
               average number of ZDP Shares in issue during the year. The capital return per ZDP 
               Share since inception to 30 June 2016 was 21.09p (30.06.15: 11.28p) based on appropriations 
               (net of listing costs of GBP327,203) of GBP3,491,017 since inception.

                                                                                                             GBP                                  17,784,129        GBP              16,430,338 
                                                                                                                  ==========================================             ====================== 
 
              As per the Loan Agreement made on 6 December 2013 and amended by an Amendment and 
               Restatement Agreement dated 13 May 2014, a loan facility of up to GBP15,000,000 is 
               available to the Parent. On 14 May 2014 a loan of GBP14,557,338 was advanced to the 
               Parent. 
 
              Interest is payable on the amount of the loan drawn down using the formula set out 
               in clause 4.5.1 of the Articles of Incorporation accruing from the draw down date, 
               until the Final Repayment Date compounded daily. A non-utilisation fee is payable 
               on the amount of the loan facility not drawn down using the formula as set out in 
               clause 4.5.1 of the Articles of Incorporation accruing from the 20 December 2013 
               until the Final Repayment Date, compounded daily. 
 
              The effective interest rate applied to the balances listed above is 8% p.a. The carrying 
               value is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value. 
 
              The Final Repayment Date falls within twelve months of the balance sheet date and 
               so the Loan has been included within Current Assets in the current year.

              Further to a Letter of Support dated 13 May 2014 from the Parent, the contribution 
               receivable from the Parent regarding the entitlement of the ZDP shares is to cover 
               the shortfall between the amount of loan interest together with the non-utilisation 
               fee, and the appropriations in respect of the ZDP Shares, resulting from the amortisation 
               of the listing costs relating to the ZDP Shares. 
 
              The carrying value assigned to the debtors and prepayments is considered a reasonable 
               approximation of fair value.

            On 20 December 2013, 15,000,000 ZDP Shares were issued for 100p each. 
             The share issue costs were borne by the Company. 
 
            The ZDP Shares carry, (i) no right to any dividends; and (ii) no voting 
             rights save in respect of a resolution to wind up the Company following 
             the Final Redemption Date or to approve certain specified matters which 
             would be likely to affect materially the position of the ZDP Shareholders. 
             In certain circumstances, the Company may be entitled to mandatorily 
             redeem the ZDP Shares at a date earlier than the Final Repayment Date. 
            On a winding up and after payment of the Company's liabilities, holders 
             of ZDP Shares are entitled to a payment of an amount equal to 100p per 
             share, increased daily from 20 December 2013, at such compound rate 
             as will give an entitlement to 126.00p for each ZDP Share at 19 December 
             2016.

            The ZDP Shares were issued at a price of 100 pence per share and a total 
             of GBP15,000,000 was raised. In accordance with IFRSs, the Net Asset 
             Value is calculated on the Net Issue Proceeds after taking into account 
             the issue costs of GBP327,203 which are amortised over the life of the 
             ZDP Shares. The Final Capital Entitlement of 126p per ZDP share due 
             on 19 December 2016 (the Final Repayment Date), equates to an annual 
             return of 8% per annum compound (the Gross Redemption Yield) on their 
             issue price of 100 pence per share. 
 
            Based upon the year end price of 124.25p (30.06.15: 116.125p) per ZDP 
             Share, the fair value of the ZDP shares which are reflected at their 
             amortised costs within these financial statements is GBP18,637,500 (30.06.15: 
             GBP17,418,750). 
              Commitment to contribute to the capital entitlement 
               of the ZDP shares 
              The Company has entered into a contribution agreement with the 
               Parent, pursuant to which the Parent will undertake to contribute 
               such funds as would ensure that the Company will have in aggregate 
               sufficient assets on 19 December 2016 to satisfy the final capital 
               entitlement of the ZDP Shares or, if required by the Company, the 
               accrued capital entitlement at any time prior to that date. This 
               assumes that the Parent has sufficient assets less current liabilities 
               available for repayment of the ZDP Shares of GBP18,900,000. 
 
              The ZDP shares are to be redeemed within twelve months of the balance 
               sheet date and so have been included within Current Liabilities 
               in the current year.

              The Company was incorporated on 15 November 2013 with 1 Ordinary 
               Share of No Par Value paid up to GBP1.00, which is held by the 
               Parent. 
 
              Ordinary Shares are entitled to any revenue profits which the Company 
               may determine to distribute as dividends in respect of any financial 
               period. It is not expected that any such dividends will be declared. 
               Holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive notice of, attend 
               and vote at General Meetings of the Company. 
 
              Following payment of the capital entitlement to the ZDP Shareholders, 
               Ordinary Shareholders are entitled to any surplus assets of the 
               Company. 
 
 9            ULTIMATE PARENT UNDERTAKING 
 
              The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of VinaLand Limited, an 
               exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands 
               with registered number MC-154178. 
 
 10           RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES 
 
              A loan facility of GBP15,000,000 has been made available to the 
               Parent, details of which are set out in note 4. As at 30 June 2016, 
               the loan receivable amounted to GBP14,557,338 (30.06.15: GBP14,557,338), 
               with related loan interest receivable of GBP2,595,279 (30.06.15: 
               GBP1,321,272) and non-utilisation fee of GBP631,512 (30.06.15: 
               GBP551,728). 
 
              As stated in note 5, the Parent has agreed to cover the shortfall 
               between the amount of loan interest together with the non-utilisation 
               fee, and the appropriations in respect of the ZDP Shares. The amount 
               of such contribution due from the Parent as at 30 June 2016 is 
               GBP264,226 (30.06.15: GBP145,518). 
 
              The Parent has also agreed to reimburse the Company for operating 
               costs. As at 30 June 2016, the amount due to the Company from the 
               Parent is GBP167,330 (30.06.15: GBP126,194) - see note 5. 
 
 
 
 
 
      In 2014 the Parent made an unsecured, interest free, loan to the 
       Company of GBP364,500. Such loan is repayable on demand. 
 
      No Director receives any remuneration from the Company in their 
       role as Director as they are also Directors of the Parent and remunerated 
       by the Parent for all activities in relation to the Group. 
 
 11   FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 
 
      The Company's principal investment objective is to provide the 
       ZDP shares with a predetermined final capital entitlement. The 
       Directors regularly monitor and review all the risks noted below. 
 
      General risk 
      An investment in ZDP shares is suitable only for investors capable 
       of evaluating the risks and merits of such investment and who have 
       sufficient resources to bear any loss (including total loss) which 
       may result from the investment. Although the Parent has entered 
       into an undertaking to meet the Company's liabilities, essentially 
       all risks are borne by the holders of ZDP shares. The market offer 
       price of the ZDP shares at 30 June 2016 was 124.25 pence per share. 
 
      Credit risk 
      The obligations of the Parent to repay the loan, loan interest 
       and non-utilisation fee and discharge its obligations pursuant 
       to the undertakings will be subordinated to the claims of the Parent's 
       other creditors on a winding up. If at the repayment date the Parent 
       has insufficient assets, then its obligations to repay the loan, 
       loan interest and non-utilisation fee may be satisfied only in 
       part or not at all. Accordingly the Company may have insufficient 
       assets to satisfy the current or final capital entitlement of the 
       ZDP shares. 
 
      The Parent has considerable financial resources and therefore the 
       Directors are of the opinion that the Company is well placed to 
       manage its business risks and also that the Parent will have sufficient 
       resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable 
       future. 
 
      The credit risk on cash or cash equivalents is limited because 
       the counter party is a bank with high credit ratings assigned by 
       international credit-rating agencies. The Company has appointed 
       The Royal Bank of Scotland International Limited ("RBSI") to act 
       as its banker. The Royal Bank of Scotland has a BBB- credit rating 
       with Standard and Poor's. 
 
      Liquidity risk 
      The Company's exposure to liquidity risk depends upon the Company's 
       ability to meet all current and future obligations. This risk is 
       mitigated through the cash balances held by the Company and the 
       support provisions available through a letter for support from 
       the Parent. The Parent is a real estate fund that makes direct 
       investments in residential, retail, hospitality and office sectors 
       within Vietnam. 
 
      As at 30 June 2016, the Parent's unaudited Net Asset Value was 
       USD342 million (30 June 2015 - USD391 million). At an Extraordinary 
       General Meeting in November 2012 the shareholders of the Parent 
       approved a strategy whereby in the three years to November 2015 
       the Parent would seek to dispose of a substantial portion of its 
       real estate holdings and return a significant part of the funds 
       raised to shareholders. At a further Extraordinary General Meeting 
       in November 2015 the shareholders resolved to extend this strategy 
       for a further twelve months to November 2016. The Parent, however, 
       recognises that it must retain sufficient funds to repay the loan 
       provided by the Company to the Parent and accordingly the Board 
       of the Parent monitors its cash position closely. As at 30 June 
       2016 the Parent held cash of USD69.0 million (30 June 2015 - USD5.8 
       million) which could be used to repay the loan.

       risk 
      Returns from ZDP shares are fixed at the time of purchase, as are 
       the final redemption proceeds. Consequently, if a share is held 
       until redemption date, the total return achieved is unaltered from 
       its purchase date. 
 
      Capital risk management 
      The capital structure of the Company consists of zero dividend 
       preference shares, as disclosed in note 7, cash and cash equivalents 
       and equity attributable to the Parent comprising issued capital 
       and retained earnings. The Company is not subject to any external 
       capital requirements. 
 
      Foreign exchange risk 
      Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the value of a financial 
       instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange 
       rates. Foreign exchange risk exposure is solely limited to cash 
       or cash equivalents held in US Dollars out of which operating costs 
       in Pounds Sterling are settled.
