Global wheat consumption will continue to increase and remain ahead of world production (2005/06 consumption forecast is 619mt) AUD is expected to weaken against the US into late 2005 and early 2006 Continued offshore expansion within the Group is expected. 640 Outlook – Commodity Management 590 Tonnes (million) 540 490 440 92/93 93/94 94/95 95/96 96/97 97/98 98/99 99/00 2000/01 2001/02 2002/03 2003/04 2004/05 2005/06F World Production World Consumption World Wheat Production & Consumption

28. Outlook – Financial Services • Landmark remains a genuine alternative to the banks, with complete lending solutions offered through the Group’s recently established ‘Rural Trust.’ • Lending growth for the last year was well above the industry trend and that growth is expected to continue going forward.

29. Outlook – Rural Services • Australian beef exports remain strong and are still benefiting from the absence of US and Canadian beef exporters in our traditional markets. • Some potential for softening of livestock prices when the US regains market access into the Korean and Japanese markets. • Merchandise and fertiliser looks promising with good seasonal conditions also supported by Landmark business set to benefit from synergy benefits. • In the Real Estate market, property prices are expected to ease after a strong two years. • Wool prices are expected to remain flat in the short term, as they remain highly sensitive to the AUD/USD exchange rate.

30. Outlook – AWB Group profit for 2006 • AWB is expecting pre tax profits to be around 10% higher than this year’s PBTA of $184.5 million, subject to normal seasonal and operating conditions. • A more robust business platform and improvements in key market drivers will support the lift.
