Highlights for 2013
Financial Results Profit and Loss
• The trading profit before tax was $28.71 million ($25.39 million after tax or $0.52 per share).
• The key driver of the higher than expected trading profit was the better than expected harvest and the excellent sales growth of Cobram Estate and Red Island.

Financial Results Cashflow
• For the year to 30 June 2013 we reported an operating cashflow deficit of $0.05 million (2012: deficit of $0.79 million). This was in line with forecast.
• The actual cash profit from the 2013 oil production will be realized when it is sold in the following financial year (FY 2014).
• Although the trading profit each year is likely to be volatile (due to variations in harvest yields from year to year), we anticipate that monthly cash trading profits will be reasonably stable. This is because sales are reasonable consistent over the whole year and in a year of a low crop (eg 2012) we only use 2012 harvest to supply customers for say 9 or 10 months in the year and in a high yielding year such as 2013 this oil will be used to supply for 14 or 15 months.
Financial Results Balance Sheet
• Net assets per share increased as a result of the trading profit and increase in grove valuation.
• *Note Cobram Estate and Red Island are only valued at $6.35m in accounts which is at cost.
2013 2012 Net Assets ($’000) $129,230* $75,111

Other $4.6m
Financial Results Bank Debt and Gearing (at 30 June 2013)
• The above facilities have been extended to November 2016 – $45 million for a three year term through to August 2016
– $13 million for a two year term through to August 2015; and
– $4 million for a 12 month term (reviewed annually)
• Financial position of the company has lead to a significantly cheaper facility pricing
• The Red Island acquisition facility of $4 million will be repaid this financial year.

Unused ($’000)
Core Debt Facility (CBA) $45,000 - Harvest Facility (CBA) $17,000 $1,500 RedIsland Acquisition Facility (CBA) $4,000 - Total $66,000 $1,500
Financial Results Bank Debt and Gearing
• During FY2014, BBL will permanently repay $4m debt (Redisland Acquisition Facility)
• Gearing (external debt / tangible assets) at 30 June 2013 of 30.82%, compared to 41.72% at 30 June 2012
• The Board is comfortable with group debt levels, and feel that these levels are appropriate, given that
– Nearly all Assets are tangible in nature
– Future earnings outlook of the company is positive and shows increasing cash and decreasing debt
– Core debt locked in for 3 years with no Cashflow or Profit covenants
Financial Results Outlook
• BBL’s profitability correlates closely with its total olive oil production and
the global olive oil prices (as costs are mostly fixed)
• It is very hard to predict accurately all of the variables that can influence profit, particularly currency, world prices, crop levels and the retail pricing environment. However, we are currently forecasting trading profit before tax of $13.6 million for the 2014 financial year
• For the 12 months to 30 June 2015 we expect crop levels to return to levels more in line with 2013 which we expect will deliver a trading profit before tax similar to the $28.7 million achieved this year.
• 1st Quarter profit $1m better than budget.
Financial Results
Dividend
• Fully franked dividend of 10 cents per share • Record date 31 January 2014
• Payment date of 17 February 2014
• Our forward planning and projections provide for an ongoing 10 cent dividend payable each year. This is of course subject to the performance of the company.
14
What next
• We continue to assess opportunities and invest in our business. – New grove planting will continue at approximately 100,000
trees per year
– Likely to increase plantings significantly from 2015 to meet expected demand
– New bottling line planned for next year to cope with volumes being bottled

Why Boundary Bend?
Boundary Bend is a fully vertically integrated Agricultural business with significant barriers to entry. The key points are:
• In built organic growth (even at low price levels)
– In built earnings growth driven by the maturing of around 36% of BBL’s trees in the coming 3 years.
• Strong asset backing
– Significant tangible asset backing with 25,000 acres of freehold land including over 15,000 acres of fully developed olive groves offering accelerated inflation protected returns
– Gross replacement cost of Boundary Bend’s assets (principally tangible) is approximately A$334 million and would take a competitor at least 8 years to replicate.
Why Boundary Bend? • Low cost producers and best quality
– Boundary Bend’s scale and technology means it is one of the lowest cost producers of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (‘EVOO’) in the world, with the unique ability to also grow world’s best quality in volume.
• Ready to capitalise on EVOO commodity cycle
– Well positioned to capitalize on the soft commodity boom and food security theme coming from the Asian countries particularly China.
– Well positioned to capitalize on market due to the high quality of our product and Australia’s increasing desire to purchase local produce. Australian production is only supplying 30% of total Australian consumption.
– Already own land suitable for development in Australia and Argentina.
• Once world price increases and stimulates new plantings BBL could be very attractive at its replacement value (+$5.00 per share)
• 70% OF OLIVE OIL PURCHASES IN AUSTRALIA ARE IMPORTED......LOTS OF ROOM FOR GROWTH.
