Order of meetings Annual General Meeting of AWB Limited Meeting of A class shareholders to amend Articles of the AWB Limited Constitution Meeting of A class shareholders (QLD/VIC/SA/NT/TAS) to elect a Director of AWB (International) Limited

Incoming AWB Limited Directors Tony HowarthJohn Schmoll

Andrew Lindberg Managing Director

AWB’s strategy has been demonstrated through its financial performance Substantial increase in net profit after tax - $96.9 million, up 120% on the previous year Earnings per share of 28.8 cents, up 81% Largest ever national wheat crop of 25.2 million tonnes (mt), up from 9.7 mt in 2002/03 Second largest ever export program, with 19.9 mt received by the Pool Fully franked dividend of 25 cents per share paid during 2004 Landmark integration targets exceeded, with cost synergies and finance growth of $13 million

Growing Horizons: AWB’s vision is to be Australia’s leading agribusiness Three strategic areas of focus: 1.Grains & Commodities Strategy in place to enhance the differentiated quality position of Australian wheat Continue in driving supply chain efficiencies 2.Rural Services Continuous improvement of procurement and supply processes Expand Landmark’s presence – targeting new areas of growth 3.Financial Services Retain leading position in Harvest Finance Market Target growth within broader agribusiness market

Solid results from Landmark business Delivered a 64% PBT uplift over the previous year Increased the Rural Finance book by 34%, to more than $1 billion – with a balance today of approximately $1.2 billion 85% of Landmark deposits converted to an AWB backed prospectus – deposits now stand at close to $600 million Strengthened insurance supplier arrangements with a 20% increase in Gross Written Premium Record real estate sales of more than $1 billion, up by 31% Record prices for beef and lamb resulted in the Livestock business seeing a 17% growth in profitability 13% increase in Merchandise and Fertiliser sales

Excellent results from the second largest ever Pool program Second largest export program ever – 19.1mt for year ended November 2004 Sales of 2.5mt to China – first significant business to that market for 8 years Record sales to Indonesia of more than 3mt Continual trade with Iraq- more than 1.5mt in sales Reduction for the sixth consecutive year of grain supply chain costs Above benchmark performance in our foreign exchange management for the National Pool

Performance from other grain related business streams Trading: Excellent result from Chartering division; almost 50% of Pool volumes sold with a freight component Geneva based International Trading business nearly doubled trading volumes to two million tonnes during 2003/04 International Trading business has been extended with a new office in New Delhi

Performance from other grain related business streams cont… Financial Services: AWB retained over 70% market share in the highly competitive Harvest Finance market AWB Harvest Finance achieved the highest possible short term credit ratings through the company’s new ring-fenced structure Supply Chain: AWB GrainFlow significantly increased receival volumes, with 1.8mt during 2003/04 Increased supply of Australian wheat by 50% to Five Star Flour Mills in Egypt over the past year

Supply Chain Developments Joint venture with GrainCorp aimed at reducing supply chain costs for export grain CBH – Western Australia Supply chain and infrastructure issues remain a challenge; immediate and ongoing investment by Government and industry required

Outlook 2005/06: Assuming normal seasonal conditions, wheat production expected to average levels around 22-23mt Estimated Pool Returns for 2005/06 of $170-$180 per tonne for APW – price direction largely dependent on Northern Hemisphere crop Lamb prices set to remain positive with increased demand from export markets Beef prices tipped to tail off with increased export competition from North and South America Promising rural Real Estate market Strong medium term growth for Financial Services business Reduced commodity prices expected to impact Rural Services business

Going forward… Despite a difficult outlook, we are confident that Australian agriculture can be globally competitive We have “comparative advantage” Freight advantage to Asian region Progress on trade reform will improve market access AWB and Landmark can continue to capitalise on opportunities with our business model
