VISIBLE REVENUE STREAM
Duxton Water receives revenue primarily through long-term lease arrangements with producers.
The leases are commercial in nature with varying terms, where the lessee pays a fixed annual rent (quarterly in advance) to the lessor who maintains holding over the asset title. The lessee bears the risks associated with water allocation variability year-on-year, minimising any risk of climate variability year-on-year for Duxton Water.
The water allocations of the unleased portion are actively traded in the market to return gains on sale.
Through dividends, the returns flow though to investors.
AT 14 SEPTEMBER 2018 DUXTON WATER HAD 45% OF THE PORTFOLIO LEASED
DIVERSIFICATION
The portfolio is diversified in terms of entitlement type (high security, general security and bore water), and in terms of entitlement location. Each entitlement (for example NSW High Security) has different characteristics, and the portfolio of assets are actively managed to ensure Duxton Water is managing risk and opportunistically maximising returns.
As a proxy to agriculture, given water is a primary resource to most producers in the Murray Darling Region, Duxton Water is also diversified in terms of exposure to agriculture industries*.
CONTRACTED ASSETS / VALUATION
As at 18 September 2018, the Company has within its acquisition pipeline a further 25.1 million of water entitlements.
The Company’s water portfolio is independently valued by Aither. Aither undertake a monthly valuation of the Duxton Water portfolio. Total assets of the Company are valued based on an assessment of fair market value. Aither has adopted the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) 13 Fair Value Measurement definition of fair value.
Aither is an economics, policy and strategic advisory firm with a specialist expertise in Australian water market, from policy and reform, to infrastructure, resource management, and valuations.

*45% of the portfolio is leased and the remainder 55% of the portfolio is unleased and sold on the temporary market. The leased portfolio is proportionally leased as follow: vineyards 86%, cropping 10%, dairy 3% and potatoes the remainder. The temporary allocation portion of the portfolio is sold to various parties and as such, the precise industry utilising the water is difficult to determine.

Duxton Water is an easily scalable business, which will benefit from economies of scale. With the exception of some Government water charges on transactions, and management/performance fees, the majority of other expenses are stable or reasonably unchanged with the growth of the business.
The Australian water market is the most sophisticated in the world with a cap and trade system, an efficient trading market, and managed priority of water allocation year-onyear. This structure provides an investment opportunity into a limited resource. Duxton Water has focused entitlement acquisition in the Southern Murray Darling Basin region of Australia. The MDB has a total of 7,549,881 ML of water entitlements on issue within its interconnected water systems, with an estimated value of A$20.2 billion¹.

AUSTRALIAN WATERMARKET
The new asset class of Australian Water Entitlements
REAL UNDERLYING ASSET
Duxton Water provides an opportunity to invest in Australian water assets, a new and real asset class. Rights to water are issued and held by way of water entitlements to which actual resource is allocated each year depending on the total available resource and the priority characteristics of the particular entitlement and allocations.
NO DEPRECIATION
Water entitlements are intangible assets giving the holder a right to the underlying water. Neither water, nor the entitlement, is a depreciable asset. While the system is supported by infrastructure and mechanisms to move the physical water, the asset in which Duxton Water is invested is not depreciable.
CAPITAL GAIN POTENTIAL
There is potential for capital gains as the Australian water market continues to develop and mature, and the value of the underlying asset continues to increase. Current market insights and production trends suggest that prices may increase over the next 5 to 10 years, given that the economic value of water dictates that whomever can derive the most benefit from the water should be the most willing to pay the most for the resource.
ENCOURAGES EFFICIENCY
Duxton Water will aid in the development of Australia’s water markets, assisting water to be appropriately valued and utilised. The water market in Australia is the most sophisticated in the world¹; it is relatively efficient and as such the resource is valued and priced according to the market drivers of supply and demand. The water, therefore, goes to the best and highest use, and water users are encouraged to be efficient with their water allocations to ensure the highest margins and yields returned for the input².

The increasing scarcity of water, coupled with rising demand, is likely to be a key economic driver underpinning the water market.
The overall Australian water market is valued at approximately A$46.7 billion (in 2013)¹. The Murray Darling Basin (“MDB”) is the world’s most sophisticated water market and the area is referred to as ‘Australia’s food bowl’. This is where Duxton Water is focused presently. The MDB contains about 40% of Australia’s farms, and 65% of irrigated farms². In 2015-16, the MDB accounted for roughly 57% of Australia’s total irrigative water³.
AITHER ENTITLEMENT INDEX
The graph below shows the Aither Entitlement Index over the period from July 2008 to March 2018 (the index as at 31 July 2018 is 187.48). This indicates capital growth potential of the asset, supported by agricultural production shifts toward more permanent plantings (discussed in following sections)*.

AUSTRALIAN WATERMARKET
How it works
CAP & TRADE
In Australia, particularly in the Murray Darling Basin region, water entitlements provide a right to the use (or sale/trade) of the annual allocation of the water resource. The Australian water market is based on an unbundled ‘cap and trade’ system. Under this regime, water rights are separated from land rights.
==> picture [65 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [65 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
Water entitlements are traded in the permanent market and give the holder a right to the water resource.
Each water year (July to June) each water entitlement is allocated a portion of the total available resource (i.e. one might receive a 90% allocation of one’s total right). Annual allocations are traded in the ‘temporary market’.
There are various different entitlement types in the market, classified by ‘region’ (i.e. NSW vs VIC) and by reliability (i.e. High Security which is given priority in allocation, and General Security which is allocated to at a lower priority). Subject to market regulations, water users have the option to use their water rights, buy and sell licences, lease rights and/or carry over the water allocation into a new water year.
Entitlement to Water Resource Annual Allocation of Water Classified by Reliability of Allocation Separate from Land Fungible Mortgagable Ascertainable Value Transferable
The value of traded water entitlements and water allocations can be regularly and easily obtained from relevant water authorities subsequent to registration. Determination of seasonal allocations to water entitlements are governed by defined, published processes and calculations based on the measurable water availability conditions.
Refer to the diagram below to see how allocations are prioritised; at a high level, the resource is firstly allocated to environmental and human consumption needs, then to the river system itself to ensure sustainability and flow, and then to the irrigators via water entitlement characteristics (priority).

SUPPLY AVAILABILITY
Duxton Water has focused entitlement acquisition in the Southern Murray Darling Basin region, known as the “food bowl” of Australia. Refer to the map above. The MDB has a total of 7,549,881 ML of water entitlements on issue within its interconnected water systems, with an estimated value of A$20.2 billion¹. Referring to the diagram below, as at 30 June 2018, 20% of this volume (1.5m ML) is held within the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holdings (“CEWH”) and is unavailable for irrigative use. The CEWH has an estimated value of A$4.3 billion. 8% is held by the respective States. This leaves 72% of the system available to investors and producers; at present roughly 4-5% of entitlement holders are ‘investor type’ and the remainder are primary producers².

The MDB Plan involves a Government buy-back of water entitlements for environmental purposes. The Plan targeted recovering 2,750 GL of water entitlements. Of that, 640 GL are still available to be recovered as at 30 June 2018³.
The Australian Government has invested approximately A$13 billion over the last 10+ years to restore the balance between the baseline environmental requirements and the productive demands on the water system⁴.
The market encourages efficient use of water by producers and presents a value on the asset in relation to the supply and demand for water.

AUSTRALIAN WATERMARKET
Demand and Market Trends
Australia is experiencing two major shifts in production. The first is in the shift of annual crops toward those that are higher value.
ANNUAL CROPS
It is estimated that 67,304 hectares of irrigated cotton were planted in the 2017/18 season, making the Murrumbidgee region (NSW) – part of the SMDB - the largest cotton growing region in Australia this season. In the last 8 years the number of farms in the Murrumbidgee growing cotton has increased 369%¹. Traditionally, there has been more variability in plantings of annual crops as irrigators can respond to annual weather and water allocation conditions; they can choose to expand (in wetter periods) or reduce (in drier) the size of their plantings. This shift towards cotton means the irrigators can pay more for the water resource given the high margins in cotton production, even when water allocation prices rise in drier periods. It is expected that this will lift the average water allocation price over time.
PERMANENT CROPS
The other significant trend observed is in the shift from annual crops to increased permanent irrigated plantings. Given the significant capital investment made by the irrigator to plant the nut trees or vines, as an example, there is an increased price inelasticity within the market; irrigators become less flexible in terms of responding to climatic and water allocation changes. Farmers are therefore committing to locked long-term demand, in ever-increasing volumes. The impact of this will be felt most by the market when the plantings reach maturity. There are substantial new plantings taking place now which will only reach full maturity of water demand, and maturity of fruit (or other) production, in 5 – 7 years.

The Southern Murray Darling Basin
CASE STUDY: ALMONDS
Australian bearing almond orchard size has grown 14.9x since 2000. Australian almond growers have been forecast to plant an additional 15,000+ hectares between 2016 to 2018 to reach a total market orchard size of 45,000 ha. At planting stage, trees demand 3ML/ha (average), and build up to 14ML/ha at maturity (6+ years).
At full maturity, this equates to a total industry demand (assumed no further plantings) of approximately ~630 GL of water to sustain production.² This equals ~8% of total entitlements on issue and ~28.2% of High Security entitlements available to Irrigators; this could represent a higher percentage depending on annual allocation volumes.

With a cap and trade system there is a limited supply of the resource; there is a limit on the volume of water entitlements on issue, and there is a limit on annual water allocation. The market trends (in both annual and permanent crops) discussed above highlight both the markets increase price inelasticity, and the increased levels of demand yet to be realised.
Given that new permanent plantings and those still in development stages are not requiring their full water supply yet, there is a possibility that this future demand has not yet been factored into the price and market value of particularly water entitlements by the market.
