The primary investment objective of Duxton Water is to generate annual income through capitalising on the increasing demand for scarce water resources. Duxton Water derives its income from a diversified portfolio of Australian Water Allocations and Water Entitlements.

NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE

Duxton Water’s NAV as at 30 April 2018 was $1.24 per share. The after tax NAV figure takes into account the provision for deferred tax on set-up costs and estimates of net tax provisions that may arise should the entire portfolio be disposed of on the above date. These figures are not adjusted for any dilution due to the outstanding options which are exercisable at $1.10. NAV is calculated based on independent monthly portfolio valuation performed by Aither Pty Ltd (“Aither”).

MARKET UPDATE

Market Summary

Storage levels of the major dams within the Murray Darling Basin (MDB) decreased by 3% through April. Total MDB storage levels were 19% lower than at the end of April 2017.

No allocations were announced through April. As Focus turns to the 18/19 Water Season we are moving into the new water year with lower storage volumes and drier forecast conditions, water availability is likely to lower. High Security Entitlements in South Australia Murray, and NSW Murray and Murrumbidgee have had their opening allocations confirmed at 100%, 97%, & 95% respectively. Victorian High Security Entitlements may open lower based on current conditions. Victorian Murray and Goulburn High Security Entitlements will open at least 35% and 20% respectively with resource improvements occurring as further water becomes available. Duxton Water presently hold approximately 12.2GL of unleased water allocations. The deployment of this allocation will be balanced between end of season sales and carryover, positioning the Company ahead of drier conditions and high pricing in the new water year (from 1 July).

Southern Basin

The Hume and Dartmouth reservoirs closed the month at 31% and 89% of capacity respectively. Entitlement demand remained strong. VIC Murray Zone 6 (14.15% of portfolio) and Goulburn (3.65% of portfolio) High Reliability Entitlements increased by 7% through March closing some of the gap that had forming between these and other High Security Entitlements. Temporary water prices increased as irrigators purchased to cover overuse and for carryover. Prices in the Murray have increased to $170/ML with prices up to $200/ML in the Murrumbidgee (season peaks). Forward allocation prices for 18/19 are at $180/ML in the Murray and $230/ML in the Murrumbidgee.

Northern Basin

A further 7% increase in Lachlan General Security Entitlement Values was achieved on top of last months uplift (6.11% of portfolio).
