Attachment to Appendix 4C

Summary of period 1 July 2017 to 30 September 2017

Wingara Ag Ltd (ASX:WNR) is pleased to present the Company’s Appendix 4C for the 1 July 2017 to 30 September 2017 quarter.

Quarter ended 30 September 2017 Review

  • We exported 18,000T of products in the six months to 30 September 2017. This is a 50% increase in volume when compared to similar period last year

  • Export volume of 35,000T by 31 March 2018 Financial Year is achievable

  • Completed the purchase of current production site at Epsom with settlement upon expiry of the current lease agreement in 2021

  • Continue to invest in the development of Raywood and Horsham sites and targeting to complete 10,000T storage at Raywood before 31[st] March 2018.

  • Completing various capital and operation improvement programs at Epsom site with the production target of 70,000T by 30 March 2019 to meet customers’ demand

Tuesday 31[st] October 2017

WNR continued its growth momentum in September quarter and delivered over 18,000T of export products in the six months ending 30[th] September 2017. WNR is on track to achieve export volume of 35,000T by 31[st] March 2018 and the growing demand came from all key export markets. At the moment, WNR is meeting only a fraction of the customers’ demand.

Operating cash flows for the quarter ending 30 September 2017 included the following:

  • un-budgeted storage costs paid as part of the hay purchases relative to the June Quarter to meet strong customer demand;

  • continued investment in sites development and operational improvement; and

  • adverse impact of AUD/USD movement when the exchange rate moved from 0.73 to 0.80

Capital expenditure in September 2017 quarter reflects deposit paid for acquisition of Epsom/Raywood sites and investment in production facilities at Epsom. Financing for Raywood site has been secured and WNR has a healthy cash position. WNR is planning to achieve export target of 70,000T by 31[st] March 2019 with key customers’ commitment already in place.

WNR is actively evaluating and pursuing opportunities that can demonstrate a potential growth profile in export of agricultural/food products. WNR’s long-term strategy based on multi-sites and multi-products will support the business growth going forward.

Issue of options to senior management

The Board has resolved to issue a total of 2,000,000 options over ordinary shares (expiring in 36 months from grant date, exercisable at $0.395 per option) to Marcello Diamante and Kellie Barker under the Employee Share Option Plan 2016 for the successful negotiation and acquisition of the Raywood, Horsham and Epsom properties, which will be pivotal for the future growth of Wingara Ag Ltd. The Epsom property has also met growth targets which we expect will result in production of 35,000T of export volume by 31 March 2018.

The resolutions from the 2016 AGM also provided for the issue of shares to Directors, but it was resolved that despite the strong platform that has been put in place during the past year for the future growth of the Company, that the share price performance did not justify the issue of any incentives for the Board at this stage. Performance based rewards for the Board and CEO, as well as key Management, will be reviewed on an on-going basis.

The Appendix 4C follows.
