Wheat crop – 2002/03 • Current drought is the worst in 20 years • AWB forecast 2002-03 wheat production at lower end of 11–13mt • ABARE, AWB & USDA presume normal seasonal conditions going forward • Historic patterns suggest at least an average crop following a drought: * ABARE 5 year average up to (not including) the El Nino year.

  23. Outlook • Production of around 11mt, over 50% below the 5 year average (22.2mt) – major impact on 2003 earnings. • Stable dividend payment for 2002-03 despite reduction in earnings. • Strategic investment in Futuris Limited – complimentary business streams and represents good value at current prices. • Efficient capital management is a key financial objective. Plans to establish a “ring-fenced” funding platform. • Further additions to the existing suite of finance & risk management products and investment in the supply chain. • Further growth and diversification – aim to be less than 80% reliant on the wheat crop by end of 2004.

  24. AWB is well positioned • One of the largest integrated global wheat managers • Manager of the Single Desk • Potential to broaden range of products, services to a large existing customer base in Australia and overseas • Balance sheet strength – strong dividend paying capacity
