22. Wheat crop – 2002/03 Current drought is the worst in 20 years AWB forecast 2002-03 wheat production at lower end of 11–13mt ABARE, AWB & USDA presume normal seasonal conditions going forward Historic patterns suggest at least an average crop following a drought: * ABARE 5 year average up to (not including) the El Nino year. Production1972-731982-831991-921994-95 El Nino year6.598.8810.568.96 Following year11.9922.0216.1816.50 5 year average*9.3614.3314.4414.50

23. Outlook Production of around 11mt, over 50% below the 5 year average (22.2mt) – major impact on 2003 earnings. Stable dividend payment for 2002-03 despite reduction in earnings. Strategic investment in Futuris Limited – complimentary business streams and represents good value at current prices. Efficient capital management is a key financial objective. Plans to establish a “ring-fenced” funding platform. Further additions to the existing suite of finance & risk management products and investment in the supply chain. Further growth and diversification – aim to be less than 80% reliant on the wheat crop by end of 2004.

24. AWB is well positioned One of the largest integrated global wheat managers Manager of the Single Desk Potential to broaden range of products, services to a large existing customer base in Australia and overseas Balance sheet strength – strong dividend paying capacity
