4 Robotics: Increasing Investor Attention VC investment in 2016 totaled nearly $2Bn Robotics in agriculture is a popular areas for investors Over 50 M&A deals totaling > $19Bn in 2016 Sample 2016 Ag-Robotics VC investments Company Country Funding Lead Investors Life Robotics Japan $9M Series B Global Brain, Mitsui Fudosan Prospera Israel $7M Series A Bessemer 6 River Systems USA $6M Seed Eclipse, irobot Slant Range USA $5M Series A The Investor Group ecorobotix Swiss $3M Seed 4FO *Source: The Robot Report, Hizook VC Investment into Robotics [$MM]

5 Seismic Changes to Milk Production Worldwide Market is consolidating; small dairy farms closing Increasing labor costs affect profitability Consumer awareness increases quality controls Restrictions on employing immigrants causing labor crisis

6 Every Cow Still Needs Manual Pre- and Post- Milking Routines Milking cows is labor intensive >20% of total farm costs Direct effect on parlor throughput Low innovation rates (Last major innovation: the automatic milker take-off assembly, 1974)

7 mirobot Milking System Improves the Process One unit in each milking stall Utilizes existing infrastructure - new + existing stalls One operator Portable control unit: remote control throughout milking process Standardizes pre- and post-milking routines in all stalls simultaneously Small, flexible, cow-friendly construction

8 mirobot s Value Demonstration (assuming a 32 stall parallel parlor) Current State With mirobot 75% labor reduction >40% throughput increase

9 mirobot s Innovative Human Touch Technology Cutting-edge 3D modeling of teats enables real-time tracking of cow movements Robotic arms based on innovative mechanical structure are lightweight, highly flexible, durable, and gentle to the cow Unique cup for pre- and post-milking routine stimulates teat and sprays air, water, disinfectant Patents Three-dimensional teat modeling granted US, EU Human-assisted milking robot pending

10 The mirobot Advantage Cuts labor costs Affordable: costs $12K compared with >$200K per stall Parallel pre- and post-procedures increase parlor throughput significantly Human touch technology is gentler to the cow, consistent, safe, precise Easy to maintain Compatible with any milking solution or parlor structure No vendor lock-in Enables parlor BIG DATA - driving further efficiencies

11 Market Segmentation Variables Herd size Labor costs Quota system Available, already familiar dealer First market segment targeted Large farms (300 cows, ~ 24 milking stalls) In countries with high labor costs Farmers that are competitive, motivated to grow Farms served by familiar, known dealers Cows in large farms (K) Milking stalls in large farms (K) Market size ($ million) USA 5, ,545 United kingdom Germany Italy Denmark Netherlands Spain France Israel Large farm > 150 cows

12 Business Model Multiple Revenue Streams 1. Systems 2. Maintenance and support 3. Aftermarket sales disposable cleaning and preparation cups Go to Market 1. β systems at dairy opinion leaders; discount when become commercial users 2. Commercial product initiate sales following short testing period 3. Installations in research centers 4. Publication of improved performance

13 Competitive Landscape Robotic Milking Systems DeLaval, GEA, SAC, LELY Not suitable for medium-large farms Expensive >$200K per unit Difficult and expensive to maintain Only 20,000 units installed worldwide
