~~Broadacre farming with economies of scale, diversification, flexibility and active management~~ AUSTRALIAN BROADACRE
DUXTON BROADACRE FARMS (“DBF”)
The Company actively manages an aggregation of broadacre farms in Australia. Risk is mitigated and returns are optimised through ownership of water entitlements (securing water supply), through geographic and commodity diversification, and through a mix of both dryland and irrigated cropping. DBF seeks to provide investors with direct exposure to
agriculture, to act as an inflationary hedge, and with a low correlation to traditional assets.

-
Australia has a variable climate and can go through periods of flood and drought.
-
Broadacre cropping is largely dryland (rather than irrigated) so relies on rainfall to a greater extent than some other crops.
-
The graph shows annual rainfall in comparison to the long-term average rainfall (mm).
-
The drought conditions through the Millennium put a significant pressure on Australian broadacre farmers and in many cases forced them to sell the land they could not make productive through this period.
Duxton Broadacre Farms is located in NSW, currently under drought conditions, however recent earnings forecasts indicate that even in these dry conditions, the Company is expecting to make a profit.

We consider grain prices to be close to the bottom of the cycle.
If wheat prices were to return to the levels seen in the 1970s (high point in the last 40+ years), and assuming all other factors remain the same, the top graph shows the potential impact on underlying profit for Duxton Broadacre Farms.
2018 has been a tough year, with frost, spray drift and the emergence of drought conditions.

| Return on Equity | 5% | 7% | 12% | 13% | 19% | 26% | 33% |
Assuming yields were closer to bumper crop yields (based on actual 2015 production), the positive impact of a price retracement is even greater.
Based on 2018 actual result results, and assuming Duxton Broadacre achieved the same yields, the prices of the 3 core commodities would need to fall by 32% from what was actually achieved for underlying profit to become $0 (i.e. break-even).
Note: the above sensitivity analyses are not intended to be perceived as an indication or commentary on probability of these possible retracement events.

- As nations become wealthier, typically red meat consumption increases.
It is likely this will cause increased demand for grain through intensive production systems, feedlots, and where livestock are largely reared on grains.
Beef production is inefficient; to produce 1 gram of beef, approximately 8.3 grams of grain is required.
The energy content of this 1 gram of beef is 2.78 calories, while the respective amount of grain required contains approximately 25 calories.
