The project has improved the adoption of research and development outcomes, best management practices and innovations. It has communicated, coordinated and collaborated with all partners in the rice industry to increase the productivity, sustainability and profitability of rice growers. Rice growers are targeting improved returns per megalitre of irrigation water - growing at least one tonne of rice for each megalitre of irrigation water used. The adoption of new research and development technologies and innovations on farm has improved productivity, resilience to drought and climate variability and the ability of rice to compete against other irrigated crops for the limited irrigation water supply. This project has increased the collaboration and cooperation across all industry partners. The reduced duplication of effort and increased sharing of resources has educated, informed and improved rice growing practices. Connecting researchers, growers and industry bodies has ensured consistent, clear messaging from all for improved outcomes within the rice growing community. The success of the Rice Extension Coordination project would not be possible without the fantastic work and enthusiasm of the Rice Extension team. Thank you to Gae Plunkett, Leah Garnett and Troy Mauger for your dedication and passion for the rice industry. Rice Extension activities have been of enormous benefit to the industry, highlighting the value of R&D and fostering on-farm adoption of rice research and we look forward to the continuation of the Rice Extension Coordination project. AgriFutures Australia invests in rice research and development on behalf of government and industry stakeholders. AgriFutures Australia invested in the Rice Extension Coordination project to support the adoption of innovation and research and development outcomes in the Australian rice industry. The adoption of new research and development outcomes will improve returns and increase the sustainability and competitiveness of rice farming enterprises. An effective extension system improves whole of industry outcomes. This report for the Rice RD&E program is an addition to AgriFutures Australia’s diverse range of over 2000 research publications and it forms part of our Growing Profitability arena, which aims to enhance the profitability and sustainability of our levied rural industries.

    Ricegrowers Limited Prospectus

    ® RICEGROWERS LIMITED PROSPECTUS For the Issue of B Class Shares to Existing SunRice Shareholders Ricegrowers Limited ABN 55 007 481 156 trading as SunRice CHAIRMAN’S LETTER Dear Shareholder, This Prospectus sets out an Offer to existing Shareholders in Ricegrowers Limited, (trading as SunRice), to subscribe for additional B Class Shares in the Company. The Offer aims to raise the level of permanent capital in the business and represents the second stage in SunRice’s Capital Raising Program. As a company, it is imperative that we maintain, and further develop, a strong capital base to give us the necessary financial strength and flexibility to make sound decisions and long-term commitments. Until recently SunRice has relied on compulsory Rice Bonds to provide a “semi-permanent” source of rollover loan capital for the business. The Offer of B Class Shares made under this Prospectus is part of SunRice’s preferred strategy to encourage Shareholders to convert their Rice Bonds into permanent share capital. Approximately $32.5 million is represented by the various series of Rice Bonds, which will mature over the next three years up to 30 June 2010 and SunRice is seeking to achieve the maximum level of conversion of Rice Bonds to B Class Shares. It is important that we highlight to Shareholders that, if SunRice is unable to raise this level of permanent share capital from existing Shareholders, it is inevitable that the Company will have to consider other options, including seeking approval to raise funds from investors that are not existing Shareholders. Rice Bonds applied to the Offer will earn the relevant interest up to the date on which the Shares are issued.

    SunRice Ms Tenneti: Next speaker for the day is Michael Heine, the joint Managing Director of Netwealth Group Limited. If you could welcome Michael, thanks. Mr Heine: Good morning all. I think that's working, which is good news. I'm going to be speaking to you maybe as potential clients today, as well as investors, so I hope you find the presentation of interest today. I'm the joint Managing Director. I founded the company in 1999 and fortunately bred very well and my son is my joint Managing Director, through ability rather than breeding, probably better than his father, which is always a problem. It's actually a good thing. A couple of key things. Firstly, what does Netwealth do? We're a platform provider which doesn't give you a lot of information, but we're a technology based company providing investment and superannuation services. The services are available to individuals directly onto our platform, but the vast majority of our business in fact comes through financial advisers who use our platform to manage their clients. The platform provides services for superannuation as an alternative to, say, an industry super fund or a self-managed super fund and the superannuation fund allows investors to select their own investments, so very much like a self-managed super fund but we're APRA regulated and we do all the hard work, you don't have to do the work at all. We obviously have accumulation and pension, life insurance and regular contributions, et cetera. The same product exists but outside of super called the investment wrap, where funds that are either outside of the super spectrum or, alternatively, if you have a self- managed super fund, it's a very good product for you to manage.
