3 Introduction Floresteca Group was founded in 1994, with the objective of developing and managing large scale teak plantations in Brazil. Floresteca is the world largest private producer of certified (FSC) Teak. 110,000 hectares of land under mgnt 43,000 hectares planted with Teak Production: m³/ year Solid timber distribution network Over 33 different farms in Pará and Mato Grosso Over 750 skilled employees FSC certification since 1997

4 Introduction - stakeholders All values in hectares 4

5 Financial Statements FSA

6 Accumulated costs vs retainers SATT Total deficit regarding retainers and SG&A = 51 M USD FSA had to draw bank loans of USD 30 M Conclusion: despite all efforts, no positive result is generated from thinnings in Mato Grosso. income has to be generated from Final Cut 6

7 Reporting Interval Present Draft Delivery Date Final Management Plan A Oct 15th Nov 15th Harvesting Report A April 1st Quarterly Report + Outlook Q Q + 1 month Parameter Report/ previous Pöyry A February 1st Financial Statements A April 1st

8 Management Plan Items on nexts slides Management Plan: Continuous forest inventory (CFI) Growht & Yield forecasts Planning criteria 2016 harvest planning

9 Management Plan Continuous Forest Inventory Tree growth and wood stock estimation Biannual measurements starting from the third year Check current status and base future projections Approximately 1 plot every 7 ha of planted area Variables measured on ground: DBH of every tree Height of 25% of trees Trunk condition Area condition Height of 5 dominant trees per hectare

10 Management Plan Continuous Forest Inventory Tree cubage Cubage is conducted to adjust the volumetric models It may be done both in standing or felled trees Six trees are measured in each DBH class (2 cm range) in every project, considering poor, medium and good sites Diameter over and under bark is measured in 0.10m, 0.50m, 1m, 2m and, from there, every 1m along the trunk until reaching the total height

11 Management Plan Continuous Forest Inventory

12 Management Plan Site Classification Site Index equation - Logistic Power Model The quantification of site quality is essential for determining rotation ages and prescribing silvicultural treatments. The most used method for assessing site productivity is to develop stand/top height-age relationships and estimate the site index (SI). where Hight (m) Site Index Classifications of MT Projects Age (years) Hdom= Mean height of the 100 trees with biggest DBH per hectare I = Age S1 S2 S3 Limit Site 2 Limit Site 3

13 Management Plan Taper estimation

14 Management Plan Taper estimation

15 Management Plan Growth Projection Update Initial models - data until 2008

16 Management Plan Growth Projection Update CFI up to date more data available at older ages Review of projections

17 Management Plan Growh & Yield forecast CFI DBH Individual volume Projection Models Project variables to future conditions Flexible age of future thinnings Optimization Best outcome given assumptions and restrictions

18 Management Plan Growh & Yield forecast Decision tree of possible harvesting regimes

19 Management Plan 2016 Planning Criteria. CONSIDERED CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS Basal area of increased competition Market liquidity for each diameter class Stable wood supply

20 Management Plan 2016 Planning Criteria Basal area of increased competition We consider areas in thinning condition when basal area reaches 12 m²/ ha. This trigger has been set based on experiments that showed that increment on DBH starts to be affected as the basal area reaches this state. Market Liquidity Logs with diameter from 16 cm to 25 cm face a liquidity problem; Need to be processed to find better market condition m³ per month Stable supply Logs with diameter greater then 25 cm; m³ per month

21 Management Plan 2016 Planning Criteria Final harvest decision is been based on NPV analysis and areas will scheduled along the coming years to ensure a stable export market supply.

22 Management Plan 2016 Areas eligible for harvesting
