Annual General Meeting Presentation

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation includes certain forward-looking statements of Eden’s management . Forward-looking statements are statements that contemplate the happening of possible future events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may”, “shall”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “probable”, “possible”, “should”, “continue”, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when or whether such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information known to Eden when those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements specified in this presentation have been compiled by Eden’s management on the basis of assumptions (which may or may not turn out to be accurate) made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Eden’s future operating results, however, are impossible to predict because of risks and uncertainties, and no representation, guarantee, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Disclaimer Cont.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
Statements relating to Eden’s future production capacity and sales levels, and business and financial performance; Statements relating to future research and development results and regulatory approvals of Eden’s products; Statements relating to Eden’s competitive position; and Other statements relating to future developments that you may take into consideration. Actual results of Eden’s operations may differ materially from information contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of risk factors some of which include, among other things: global economic stability, continued compliance with government regulations regarding production and use of carbon nanotubes in the U.S. or any other jurisdiction in which Eden conducts its operations; changing legislation or regulatory environments in the U.S. and any other jurisdiction in which Eden conducts its operations; credit risks and product sales affecting Eden’s revenue and profitability; exposure to product liability claims; changes and new competitive products in the specialty concrete admixture industry; the level of market acceptance and demand for EdenCrete™; Eden’s ability to effectively market all the product it can produce; Eden’s ability to manage its growth, including implementing effective controls and procedures and attracting and retaining key management and personnel; changing interpretations of generally accepted accounting principles; the availability of capital resources, including in the form of capital markets financing opportunities; and general economic conditions.
This presentation has been prepared as a summary only and does not contain all information relating to Eden’s assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses and prospects: it should be read in conjunction with all of the publicly available information in relation to Eden which has been released to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX Code: EDE).

(1) Land in Georgia is sufficient for expansion up to 10 stages (i.e. 500m galls. p.a. output).
(2) Based on Current Selling Price of EdenCrete[TM] - US$25/ gallon- assumes all targeted production can be achieved and sold.
(3) Eden proposes to establish its large scale global production plant in Augusta, Georgia. The State of Georgia and the Augusta Economic Development Authority have agreed to provide a combined US$24.7 million worth of financial incentives, including an IRB-financed grant of 112 acres of suitable industrial land worth approximately $2.8 million, construction commitments aggregating approx. $4.2 million and the balance being largely by way of abatement of future taxes and levies. Eden proposes to supply from Georgia, EdenCrete[TM] to the entire North American market and also export it to the rest of the world through the Port of Savannah .
