Challenges and Opportunities

• First commercial harvest commenced September 2013 with encouraging results – confirmation of oil quality and oil content in heartwood.

• Evident that lower heartwood yield in earlier plantations due to poorer quality trees.

• Improved plantation inventory assessment now enables better estimation of future heartwood yield at different ages.

• Beyond EKS/TFS 2 evaluate extending harvest rotation for some plantations to obtain higher heartwood yield.

Financial Review – article dated 30 August 2013

"These guys own 2440 hectares of Indian sandalwood plantations. If the prices remain constant, they're going to generate nearly $2 billion of operating profit over the next 15 years. It's the most interesting deep value story that I'm aware of," Mr Michell said.

Plantation Inventory Assessment

• Heartwood yield/volume is a function of:

- Survival rate - Tree size and quality

• Pioneer Plantations (1999 – 2000) – total area 144 ha:

- Poor quality and size - Poor survival rate (average of approx 35%)

• Early Plantations (2001 – 2008) – total area 1,600 ha:

- Much improved quality and size - Much improved survival rate (average of approx 70%)

• Later Plantations (2009 – 2013) – total area of 5,800 ha:

- Further improvement in quality, size and consistency - High survival rates (average of approx 95%)

First Commercial Harvest

• Successful initial harvest of 8 ha EKS plantation (5 ha TFS owned and 3 ha grower owned) completed in September 2013.

• Balance of EKS plantation and TFS 2 plantation to be harvested April/May 2014.

• Initial tests show oil quality and quantity (as % of heartwood) within expectations despite poor overall standard of the EKS/TFS 2 plantation.

Outlook

• First commercial harvest – proof of concept:

- yield - price • Revenue from harvests expected to begin to

make a positive impact on earnings from FY15.

• End-market opportunities continue to develop with pricing tension between oil and wood markets increasing.

• Continuation of strategy to increase direct plantation ownership. F
