3 PRESENTATION OVERVIEW Cotton industry context Gross margins Crop cashflow comparison Sensitivity Analysis Impact of business scale * Disclaimer budgets are only as good as the assumptions therein 3
4 SOUTHERN NSW CROP AREAS (Ha) 120, ,000 80,000 60,000 40,000 20, Maize Soybean Cotton Rice 4
5 COTTON INDUSTRY IS GROWING Improved genetics and technology Options to forward sell up to three years out for a fixed price Two new cotton gins under construction in Murrumbidgee Northern corporate investment in land and water 5
6 COTTON PRODUCTION Messages to cotton growers IREC February 2014: Cash is king so is yield! Do not starve your business of cash Southern NSW cotton industry is growing Cotton is hard on cashflow Understand linkage between cashflow and balance sheet High cost of cotton production demands scale 6
7 COTTON RISKS IREC FEB 2014 Marketing Production Use agronomist and timeliness of operations Harvest Contractors/share or own picker Access to cash Overdraft - Trade creditors Crop lean - Merchant 7

9 GROSS MARGINS Useful short term tool Can drive poor business decisions if not used correctly Gross margins in isolation ignore: Crops grown in rotation Cashflow and funding needs Overheads and unallocated costs Capital investments and renewal needs Strategic planning Risk Lifestyle and commercial satisfaction Only useful when comparing within systems Where no capex is required 9
10 SYSTEM GROSS MARGINS Considers the synergies of crops and rotations Analysis of a representative Murray Valley business for whole farm comparison Business assumptions: 550ha farm with 500ha cropped area 1,200 ML General Security 70% allocation = 840 ML annual allocation 10
11 SYSTEM GROSS MARGINS Scenario System Gross Margin Total $ $/Ha $/ML Rice wheat/canola fallow rice $271,044 $488 $323 Wheat 50% canola 50% 246, Soybeans wheat/canola 255, Maize wheat/canola fallow Maize 271, Cotton wheat fallow cotton 290, Sell annual $50/ML 185, Note: sell annual allocation gross margin is inflated by returns from dryland wheat grown across whole farm 11

24 COTTON SCALE OF PRODUCTION Full suite of cotton growing equipment costs $1.5M to $2.0M Annual repayments with or without picker Scale required (including picker) >500ha Without picker >250ha Alternatives have own row crop tractor with cultivation equipment and use contractors for primary tillage, planting and harvest 24
25 BUSINESS SCALE Crop Area Available 450ha (1/3 Rice) 750ha (1/3 Rice) 1,500ha (1/3 Rice) 2,250ha (1/3 Rice) Area/Return on Capital Rice Cotton Maize Area 150ha 185ha 171ha ROC 3.1% 2.7% 1.2% Area 250ha 308ha 286ha ROC 4.6% 4.3% 2.9% Area 500ha 615ha 571ha ROC 5.2% 5.6% 4.2% Area 750ha 923ha 857ha ROC 5.7% 6.5% 4.6% 25
26 SUMMARY Cotton will suit those with: Strong balance sheet Access to cash Row crop layouts Free draining soils Scale Sufficient channel capacity (daily supply) Rice is best suited for: Typical family farm business Modest balance sheets Existing irrigation layouts Heavy soils Growers who grow rice well 26
27 KEY POINTS Make decisions based on whole farm analysis of profit and return on capital Assess cashflow implications Understand sensitivities downside risk High cost of production for cotton demands scale 27
28 CLOSING Don t chase rainbows Budget properly (3 to 5 years out) Recognise linkages between your profit and loss and balance sheet Make sure your financier understands and supports what you are doing Make decisions based on your preferred long term strategy 28
