Faines Luvinga, Tanzania 2 The CHALLENGE
70% of the world’s poor depend on farming, using extremely outdated technologies Maria Uwimana, Rwanda The Hunger Season
Millions of smallholder farmers experience annual hunger seasons when last year’s harvest runs out and this year’s is not yet mature enough to eat. The resulting meal skipping and substitution has devastating impacts on the farmers’ families: • 1 in 3 children are stunted • 1 in 10 children die before age 5 • 1 in 4 complete high school

Commitment to serve high- Continuous growth into new Comprehensive support need, underserved markets markets
We work with staple crop We are still only serving < 2% of Donor subsidy allows us to farmers largely disconnected the total potential market. That provide in-depth training, sell from markets, who are more means 98% of the addressable low-margin, but high impact, costly to reach. Farmers are market is going hungry! products, and offer additional ultra-poor or extreme poor by services, e.g., crop insurance World Bank definition, which limits our pricing. Opening new sites in existing countries of operation and Donor subsidy allows us to work launching entirely new country in markets where margins are Our loans are 6x smaller than pilots requires more subsidy limited by government rules, average loans of MFIs working early on, as we build up scale but impact is high in East Africa*, making it harder to break even.

Average EA MFI data represents 10 microfinance organizations working in agriculture in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Ethiopia. The data excludes One Acre Fund. 24 One Acre Fund borrows to cover the difference in timing between farmer revenues and inventory purchases
Borrowing need #1: Finance purchase of inventory and extension of loans to farmers
• Truly cyclical • Conforms with a growing season • Cash flow increases throughout season but declines near the end as we ramp up for the next growing season • Farmers historically repay 97%+
Gross operating cash flow is farmer repayments less GAAP payments for inventory (goods, transport to warehouse, warehouse insurance, labor to unload trucks , etc.) 25 For example, the Kenya inputs financing cycle is over a year long
May-December January-March September
One Acre Fund Inputs are delivered to Farmers complete purchases inputs farmers repayment
Debt helps us manage the timing gap between when we need to buy agricultural farm inputs and when we get repaid for them by farmers Fredah Ketiba, Kenya 26 One Acre Fund also borrows to cover the difference in timing between grant revenues and operating expenses
Cash flow cycle for one year Borrowing need #2: Finance $15,000,000
consolidated operating costs until $10,000,000 grants arrive $5,000,000 • Grants arrive in varying amounts throughout year but tend to be $0 concentrated in Q3 of the calendar -$5,000,000
year -$10,000,000 • Total Liabilities < Current Assets, -$15,000,000 meaning we only borrow to cover -$20,000,000 short term timing differences Oct-18 Nov-18 Dec-18 Jan-19 Feb-19 Mar-19 Apr-19 May-19 Jun-19 Jul-19 Aug-19 Sep-19 Consolidated cumulative net operating cash flow after grants
1) Gross operating cash flow is farmer repayments less GAAP payments for inventory (goods, transport to warehouse, warehouse insurance, labor to unload trucks , etc.) 2) Country net operating cash flow is farmer repayments less all costs incurred at the country level.

One Acre FundInput farmers delivery, in Nyatieka Rwanda, Kisii30 2 MILLION FARMERS CAMPAIGN Unique Opportunity: A group of existing partners have agreed to help capitalize One Acre Fund for the next 5 years with a layer of subordinated debt. $11m total interest from five participants Activated if we can raise at least $22m of new Senior debt (2x size of sub debt) by 2020 – $12 million to be raised by Q4 2019 – $10 million to be raised by Q1 2020 – This funding will support One Acre Fund’s projected growth to serve 1 million farmers in 2020 We will build on this and continue growing both sub-debt and senior debt to capitalize One Acre Fund into the future, enabling us to reach 2 million farmers by 2024
Proposed Capital Structure (2020) Proposed Capital Structure (2024)
Trade Credit and Trade Credit and Senior Unsecured Debt - $54m other Liabilities Senior Unsecured Debt - $85m other Liabilities ($22m new + $32m existing) ($30m) ($50m)
5 yr Subordinated Debt ($11m) Subordinated Debt ($25m)
Net Assets. ($46m) + Refundable Advance ($15m)* = Net Assets ($70m) $61m 31 Why your capital would be catalytic An additional $22m of senior debt by 2020 would:
Unlock $11m of subordinated debt from existing lenders and donors Capitalize One Acre Fund for 2020 - a milestone year in which we are on track to reach 1 million smallholder farmers! Lock in a base of senior and subordinated debt from which we will build on for the next five years and support One Acre Fund’s growth to 2 million farmers by 2024 Help us serve farmers like Florence Amolo Nyakuli in Kenya, pictured here with her children
