**Sales

margins,
almond
price
and
costs**

  • § Sales
    are
    impacted
    by
    the
    market
    price
    of
    products
    sold
    which
    are
    subject
    to
    market
    forces
    of
    supply
    and
    demand.
    Specifically,
    the
    sales
    of almonds
    owned
    by
    Select
    Harvests
    are
    subject
    to
    global
    pricing
    pa`erns.

  • § Margins
    are
    also
    impacted
    by
    the
    cost
    of
    inputs
    such
    as
    growing
    costs
    including
    fer1lizers
    and
    water,
    and
    costs
    of
    raw

    linked
    to

  • § Changes
    to
    the
    tenure
    and
    terms
    of
    material
    management
    contracts,
    and
    realisa1on
    of
    incen1ves
    will
    impact
    sales
    margins
    in
    the
    business.

**Weather

pa[erns
and
clima5c
condi5ons**

  • § Select
    Harvests
    is
    exposed
    to
    both
    Australian
    weather
    pa`erns,
    disease
    and
    insect
    infesta1ons
    and
    natural
    disasters,
    for
    example
    drought, extreme
    heat,
    floods,
    hail,
    frost,
    insufficient
    chill
    hours
    and
    associated
    changes
    in
    agricultural
    ac1vity.

  • § Variability
    in
    weather
    condi1ons
    and
    natural
    disasters
    may
    impact
    key
    drivers
    of
    Select
    Harvests’
    earnings
    including:
    crop
    size
    and
    quality, supply
    and
    demand
    characteris1cs
    in
    agricultural
    markets,
    market
    prices
    for
    almonds
    and
    economic
    ac1vity.

**Water

rights/growing
condi5ons**

  • § The
    main
    cost
    inputs
    to
    growing
    almonds
    are
    water,
    fer1ga1on,
    equipment
    and
    direct
    labour.
    Select
    Harvests
    has
    ownership
    and
    access
    to permanent
    water
    rights
    which
    on
    a
    90%
    alloca1on
    are
    sufficient
    to
    support
    the
    growing
    of
    exis1ng
    almond
    crops
    it
    owns
    under
    best hor1cultural
    prac1ce.
    Should
    water
    alloca1ons
    not
    be
    at
    100%,
    which
    due
    to
    impact
    of
    droughts
    has
    been
    the
    experience
    historically,
    a propor1onate
    investment
    in
    temporary
    water
    will
    be
    required,
    which
    increases
    the
    cost
    of
    produc1on.

  • § Fer1ga1on
    costs
    are
    subject
    to
    market
    condi1ons
    which
    may
    result
    in
    vola1lity
    in
    input
    costs.
    There
    is
    a
    rela1onship
    between
    the propor1onate
    investment
    in
    growing
    costs
    and
    resultant
    crop
    yield.

**Greenfield

developments**

  • § Successful
    implementa1on
    of
    future
    greenfield
    developments
    may
    be
    nega1vely
    impacted
    by
    a
    range
    of
    factors
    including
    weather
    and clima1c
    condi1ons,
    unsuitable
    land
    and
    soil
    characteris1cs,
    available
    water
    and
    rootstock,
    planning
    and
    other
    regulatory
    approvals
    and available

**Key

suppliers**

  • § In
    addi1on
    to
    water,
    crop
    size
    and
    quality
    is
    heavily
    reliant
    on
    a
    number
    of
    key
    suppliers
    including
    access
    to
    a
    sustainable
    annual

    The
    impact
    of
    exchange
    rate
    movements
    will
    vary
    from

    hedging
    contracts
    are
    arranged
    and

    under
    these leases
    are
    the
    subject
    of
    market
    based
    rent

    There
    is
    a
    risk
    that
    Select
    Harvests'
    leasing
    costs
    will
    increase
    in
    the
    future.

  • § Select

    Select
    Harvests
    enters
    into
    contracts
    with
    various

    The
    ability
    of
    third
    par1es
    to
    meet their
    commitments
    under
    such
    arrangements
    may
    impact
    on
    Select
    Harvests’
    business
    and
    financial
    posi1on.

    event
    that comple1on

    acquisi1on
    does
    not

**Funding

  • § The

    agreement
    includes
    certain
    rights
    of
    the
    joint
    lead
    managers
    to
    terminate
    those
    arrangements.
    The
    availability
    of the
    acquisi1on
    debt
    facility
    is
    subject
    to
    various
    condi1ons
    precedent
    such
    that
    funds
    may
    not
    be
    available
    under
    the
    acquisi1on debt
    facility
    (or
    as
    a
    consequence
    of
    comple1on
    of
    the
    Placement
    and
    SPP),
    in
    circumstances
    where
    Select

    en1tled
    to terminate
    either
    or

    While
    the

    rights
    of
    the

    managers
    under
    the placement
    agreement
    and
    the
    condi1ons
    precedent
    to
    the
    acquisi1on
    debt
    facility
    are
    considered
    to
    be
    consistent
    with
    market prac1ce,
    a
    termina1on
    right
    (under
    the
    placement
    agreement)
    may
    arise,
    and
    non-­‐fulfilment
    of
    a
    condi1on
    precedent
    to
    the acquisi1on
    debt
    facility
    may
    occur,
    as
    a
    consequence
    of
    circumstances
    outside
    Select
    Harvests’
    control.
    As
    such,
    there
    is
    a
    risk that
    Select
    Harvests
    has
    an
    obliga1on
    to
    pay
    the
    purchase
    price
    but,
    due
    to
    the
    termina1on
    of
    the
    placement
    agreement
    or
    the unavailability
    of
    the
    acquisi1on
    debt
    facility,
    does
    not
    have
    the
    necessary
    amount
    of
    funding
    available.
    In
    this
    instance
    Select Harvests
    would
    need
    to
    seek
    to
    put
    in
    place
    new
    financing
    arrangements,
    the
    terms
    of

    mix.

**Historical

Liability**

  • § If
    the
    acquisi1ons
    complete,
    Select
    Harvests
    may
    become
    directly
    or
    indirectly
    liable
    for
    any
    liabili1es
    previously
    incurred
    by
    the vendors,
    which
    may
    not
    have
    been
    iden1fied
    during
    due
    diligence,
    or
    which
    were
    of
    a
    greater

    than
    expected. Representa1ons
    and
    warran1es
    nego1ated
    by
    Select
    Harvests
    may
    not
    be
    adequate
    in
    these
    circumstances.
    Such
    liability
    may therefore
    adversely
    affect
    the
    financial
    performance
    or

    of
    Select
    Harvests
