INDEPENDENT VALUATION UPDATE
Duxton Broadacre Farms Ltd (“Duxton Broadacre Farms” or “DBF” or “the Company”) has engaged LAWD Pty Ltd (“LAWD”) to provide an updated Independent Valuation Report for the land, water, and structures owned by the Company as of 30 June 2021.

The Company is particularly pleased to highlight that the properties which were managed across both years (that is, the portfolio less divestments and acquisitions) grew at 16.1% year-on-year, which the Board views as a validation of the Company’s asset management strategy and a demonstration of the skill and professionalism with which it has been implemented by DBF’s onfarm operations staff.

Although prevailing conditions have prevented DBF from achieving operational profitability in previous years, 2021 marks the fourth consecutive year of growth in the value of the Company’s property assets.
The Board would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm their strong belief in the Company’s core thesis and would like to thank shareholders for their patience and support.
This announcement has been authorised for release by the Chairman of Duxton Broadacre Farms Ltd.
