 Savannah Ag Consulting (agronomists) conducted a three-year research experiment under the “Developing an oilseed industry for North Queensland” project comparing the crop yield rates of several oilseed crops grown in Central and Northern QLD to industry averages. The project trials were conducted from Emerald in Central Queensland to North Queensland featuring oilseed crops including canola, Indian mustard, carinata, soybeans, linseed, nigella, sunflower, camelina, safflower and black sesame. Results have shown that several oilseed crops produce the same or better yields in tropical Queensland compared to trials in temperate climates, alleviating decades of industry assumptions around growing conditions in the regions. The clear standouts were canola which produced a 2.85 tons per hectare yield, higher than the 2.54 tons per hectare outcome from the National Variety Trial (NVT) Roundup Ready trials, and safflower that had a 2.6 tons per hectare yield and was over double the 1-1.2 tons per hectare.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. While the outcomes of these matters are uncertain, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

There were two cases involving the Company’s subsidiaries, Cowcumbla Investments Pty Ltd. and Cootamundra Oilseeds Pty Ltd., filed in the Supreme Court of New South Wales in connection with a related party loan with a former director totaling AUD$1.2 million. Cowcumbla Investments Pty Ltd. and Cootamundra Oilseeds Pty Ltd. recently settled these claims following their repayment of the amount due under this related party loan in monthly instalments from January 2023 to April 2023. The cases pending against Cowcumbla Investments Pty Ltd. and Cootamundra Oilseeds Pty Ltd. have concluded following the local mediation process held on 30 May 2023 and the payment of an additional sum under this loan in the amount of AUD95,000 as final settlement on 1 June 2023. The Company does not expect to incur any further costs in relation to the matter, however, the inherent uncertainties of any future litigation, and the ultimate cost and outcome of future litigation cannot be established definitively.
