Investor Presentation

Enerji Ltd is pleased to present the attached investor presentation for February 2015. Progress in the development of the ATEN product line and on Enerji’s “Five-Projects” strategy is in response to a process of opportunity identification and sound strategic planning. I believe this work is a considerable accomplishment and is now a significant driver to grow shareholder value.

I especially would like to draw attention to the following:

  • Enerji has been successful in reducing its net operating cashflow. As reported on 29 January 2015, for the December 2014 quarter Enerji had a net cash outflow of only $157,000. Cash at the end of quarter was $691,000 and the further R&D rebates from the 2014 full-year are expected and will be reported in due course.

  • The notice on 3 February 2015 announcing the planned $15.1m Solar Thermal Hybrid Project, the MOA and associated conditions is a particularly significant milestone. Subject to those conditions and as set out in the attached presentation, the project presents an opportunity for Enerji’s first revenue projected to be in line with commercial returns on equity.

  • Furthermore, the funding strategy for the Solar Thermal Hybrid Project is a mix of grants, debt and existing equity – importantly no new capital is expected to be required for this project.

Yours sincerely,

Steve Formica Chairman Enerji Ltd

How we expand our market and our scale

  1. we know how to increase thermal efficiency

  2. (i.e. $ per MWth of capacity)

  3. step by step with ATEN we are doing both to target a 4X improvement

The strategy for growing shareholder value

  1. Enerji’s future is intellectual

  2. Short pathway to revenue - “Five-Projects” strategy applies our specialist capabilities to develop commercial projects

“criteria for project development: profit efficient use of capital build experience lower costs build value in proprietary IP”

  1. Develop valuable technology - with ATEN to focus on thermal efficiency, cost reduction and risk mitigation

“criteria for technology development: unlock massive markets build market share create competitive advantage opportunity for licensing revenue acquisition value”

Advantages of ATEN

collected into a single heat-to-power system

Scalable - standardised design and ability to prefabricate

Compact - easy transport from low cost manufacturing locations and minimal site real estate Simple connection - minimum impact or operating risk for host heat sources Streamlined deployment – reduce project risk and increase the speed and ease of deployment

ATEN product-lines

“refer ASX announcement 17 November ’14”

ATEN2 - harvests heat from multiple medium temperature sources (typically up to 475C), via a single modular heat recovery unit, power is generated using an ORC unit. ATEN3 - harvests heat from sources with two distinctly different characteristics. The higher temperature heat supplements lower temperature heat to optimise the overall system thermal efficiency, power is generated using an ORC unit.

ATEN4 - harvests heat from sources with multiple distinctly different characteristics. Like ATEN 3, the higher temperature heat supplements lower temperature heat to optimise the overall system thermal efficiency but power is generated using cascading steam or ORC turbines.

  • ATEN developed for a streamlined approach

  • ✦ Low implementation cost

  • ✦ “Over the fence” solution

  • ✦ WIN WIN business model for Enerji and its clients

  • ✦ Modularity and prefabrication to mitigate risk

Our experience

  • ✦ Tapping into 70 yrs of leading power sector experience

  • ✦ Research experience and PhD personnel

  • ✦ Successfully deployed power generation > 1000 megawatts and over $1 billion of value

Robust margin and annuity bases revenue model

  • ✦ Continue to target net contracted revenue of $4 million p.a from “Five-Projects” deals in current FY

  • ✦ Value pool is shared with our thermal energy hosts

  • ✦ Revenue is annualised

  • ✦ Simple payback target of 2.5 to 5 years

this graph illustrates Enerji’s target to secure contracts with corresponding net revenue, it is based upon what Enerji believes is achievable but the targets are not forecasts This image is of Enerji’s Carnarvon project and should not be used for decision making purposes.

  • ✦ Equipment life is 20 years plus!
