ExecutiveSummary 经营综合报告 1.1 Background 背景 Ethanol iswidelyaccepted asanimportant componentof theglobaldesire toreducedependenceon fossilfuels suchas petroleum fuels. Asa result ofsustainabilityissuesassociated withfirstgenerationbiofuels madefrom edibleagricultural feedstocks (“1G”), manycountries(suchas Australia, US, China, Brazil) are seeking technologyto move awayfromfood crop-based biofuelsandinto second generationethanolproduction(“2G”)whichusesnon-food crops (or partsof crops) and agricultural waste material asfeedstocks.作为减少化石燃料(石油燃料)依赖的潜在替代品,乙醇在全球范围内受到广泛 重点关注。因为第一代由食用农业原料(“1 代”)制成的生物燃料存在可持续性问题,许多国家,如澳大利亚、美国、中国、 巴西,正在寻求一种技术,抛弃以作物为基础的生物燃料,进入二代的乙醇产品(“2 代”),该乙醇产品使用非农作物(或部 分农作物)和农业废料作为原料。 Ethanol TechnologiesLimited ("Ethtec") is developingtechnology(the"Ethtec Process") forsustainableproductionofethanol fromlignocellulosic (woodyand fibrous) materialsin significant volumes to meet fuel demand(the “Project”). Ifsuccessful,theProjectisanticipated toaddress manyissuestypicallyassociatedwith2Gethanolproduction suchas: 乙醇技术有限公司(简称 Ethtec)正在开发一种技术(Ethtec 工艺),实现可持续地从木质纤维(木材和纤维)材料中大 量生产乙醇,以满足燃料需求(“项目”)。若该技术成功,预计项目会解决许多与 2 代乙醇生产有关的典型问题,如: ◆ Production of ethanol at a cost thatis competitive (without subsidy)withpetroleum fuelsderived from crude oilafter paying areasonableprice for thefeedstock 成本问题:在支付合理的原料费之后,在无任何补贴的情况下,乙 醇生产成本可与来自原油的石油燃料的成本相媲美; ◆ Zero liquidwastewhich mayreducethe environmentalimpact of ethanol productionandenhance thenetreductionin greenhouse gasemissionobtained fromtheuse of ethanolasfuel 零废液:可能降低乙醇生产对环境产生的影响,并且使 用乙醇作为燃料,会大大减少温室气体的排放量; ◆ Compared withother proposed processes(whichtypicallyuseenzymesto releasethe structural sugars) theEthtec process willutiliseacid hydrolysistoreleasethe sugarsfromfeedstock which meanstheprocess is insensitivetothe type of feedstock utilisedand canacceptawidevarietyof feedstock inputs, including mixedinputs.与其他拟议的工艺相比(通常 用酶来分解结构糖),Ethtec 工艺会利用酸解反应来释放原料中的糖,这就是说该工艺对使用的原料不敏感,并且能 接受各种各样的原料,包括混合原料。 The Project includes four principlephases,of whichthe first twohave been successfullydemonstrated andinvolvedthe mostnovelaspectsofthetechnology. Phase 3and4involve processeswhichareexpected tohave significantlyless technical risk astheypertainto morewidelytestedtechniques,namely, fermentation of the sugarsto ethanol, ethanol recoveryandwaste treatment. Thework completedtodate couldbe commerciallyexploitedeitherthroughlicensingthe existing processesfor a number of end usesor alternativelylicensingprocessesthat Ethtecintendsto developunder Phases 3and4.项目包含 4 个主要 阶段,其中前两个阶段已获成功,并涉及技术中最不寻常的方面。阶段 3 和阶段 4 涉及一些工艺,期望这些工艺在涉及更广 泛的成熟技术时,能少些技术风险,也即:糖酵成乙醇,乙醇回收和废物处理。到目前为止完成的工作可进行商业开发,要 么可通过将下面有工艺授权给一些终端用户,或取代工艺授权,Ethtec 意欲在阶段 3 和阶段 4 中自己开发。 1.2 Scope 范围 Ethtec is currentlyseekingadditional capital tofund thenext phase of developmentandisin preliminarynegotiationswith a thirdpartyinrespectof a potentialequityinvestment. Accordingly,weunderstand that an independent valuation of the Ethtec Businessis requiredbythedirectors of Ethtec inordertoassistinnegotiating theterms of the potentialinvestmentin Ethtec. Ethtec hastherefore requestedLeadenhall Corporate Advisory PtyLtd(“Leadenhall”)toprepare areportsetting out ouropinionas tothe market valueofEthtecas at a current date.Ethtec 当前正为下一阶段的研发寻求额外资金,并正与一个 第三方就潜在的股权投资进行磋商。我们理解:为了有助于磋商该潜在股权投资的条款,Ethtec 的董事们要求对 Ethtec 的 业务进行一次独立评估。因此,Ethtec 已要求 Leadenhall 企业咨询企业有限公司(Leadenhall)准备一份报告,载明就当 前时间我方对 Ethtec 市值的意见。 1.3 Valuation approach and keyassumptions 评估方法和关键性假设 Due tothe earlystagenature of theProjectandthe widerangeofpotentialoutcomes, we haveutilised aprobability weighted discounted cash flowapproach toassessthe market value of theProject.由于项目早期阶段的属性及广泛的 不确定结果,我们应用了概率加权现金贴现的方法,来评估项目的市值。 We understand that the approach for commercialising the Project is not yet certainas anumber of models maybe considered includinglicensing theintellectual property("IP")tothirdparties or creatingjoint ventures withother stakeholders 4957 Ethtec Valuation (draft) 21022017 Page 3 of 59 (suchas resourceowners,equipment manufacturers andoff-takeparticipants)to share inthe economicsoftheplants.我们知道 项目商业化的方法还未确定,因为考虑了许多模式,包括将知识产权(“IP”)授与第三方,或与其他利益相关者(如资源所有 者、设备制造商和承购参与者)建立合资企业,分享工厂的经济效益。 Forthepurpose of our analysis,wedetermined thereturnsto Ethtecfrom commercialisationinthe formofaroyalty payment. In determininganappropriate royaltyrate wehave considered the cash flowsavailableand theprofitabilityofthe underlyingplants/business toestimate anappropriate shareoftheeconomic profitsto Ethtecas the owner of the IP. 就我们的分析而言,我们确定了 Ethtec 以特许权使用费的形式进行商业化的回报。在确定合适的特许权使用费费率时,我们考 虑了可用的现金流以及基础工厂/企业的盈利能力,从而恰当评估授权知识产权带给 Ethtec 的经济利润。 4957 Ethtec Valuation (draft) 21022017 Page 4 of 59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes 草案用于讨论之目的 Valuation ofEthtec Ethtec 资产评估 In applyingthisapproach wehave consideredthe following scenarios:在应用这种方法时,我们考虑了以下方案: BaseCase 基本情况 The ethanolproductionvolumes assumedinthe base casereflectthepotentialdemand fromwithin Australia (includinga nationwide mandatefor use of ethanolin fuelblendsofupto10%)althoughit ispossible that thesevolumes couldbe generated througha combinationofdomesticand internationalplantcapacitywith Ethtecproviding thetechnical expertise andongoing researchto support thetechnology. 基本情况下的设定的乙醇产量反映了澳大利亚国内的潜在需求,包括全国范围内乙醇燃料的使用需求最高可达 10%,虽然 在 Ethtec 提供技术知识,并不断进行研究,以支持该技术的情况下,结合国内外产能,这些产量极可能实现的。 Ethtec havealso considered co-production of xylitol aspart oftheir earlystage commercialisation strategy. Xylitol represents anattractive market given thegrowing trendin alternative sweeteners, the current high costsofxylitol production and Ethtec'spotentiallylowercostsof production.Ethtec 还考虑将木糖醇联合生产作为其早期商业化战略 的一部分。考虑到日趋明朗化的趋势----木糖醇替代甜味剂、当前木糖醇生产的高成本以及 Ethtec 潜在的低生产成 本,木糖醇展示了一个有吸引力的市场。 This scenarioispremised ontheprojections presentedby Ethtec initsfunding applicationtothe AustralianRenewable EnergyAgency("ARENA"). Under this scenario,thefirst Ethtecplant will bea mixedethanol/xylitol co-productionplantand all subsequent Ethtec plantswillproduce onlyethanol(no co-products) withthenumberof plantslimited byan assumed levelof Australiandemandforethanolfuel. Ethtecwillthen drawa shareof profits fromeach of theseplants through aroyaltyon sales. We haveassesseda reasonableroyaltytobe[6.0%]to[7.0%] based ontheprojected economics of an ethanolplant.Thisroyaltyrepresentsan equitable sharing of the economicprofits betweenEthtec,resource owners,equipment providers andproductoff-takeparticipants havingregard totheirrelative contribution. 该方案是基于 Ethtec 在其向澳大利亚可再生能源机构(ARENA)的资助申请中所提出的预测。在该方案中,Ethtec 的首个 工厂将会是一个乙醇/木糖醇联合生产工厂,并且 Ethtec 在此之后的所有工厂将只生产乙醇(无副产品),而由于预估中澳 大利亚对乙醇燃料的需求,这些工厂的数量是有限的。然后,Ethtec 将通过销售专利使用费,从这些工厂中抽取一部分利 润。基于一个乙醇工厂的经济预估,我们评估的合理的专利使用费为 6.0%到 7.0%。对于 Ethtec、资源所有者、设备提供 商和产品承购参与者(考虑其相应的出资)来首, 该专利使用费是他们之间对经济利润的公平分享。 Upside Case 上行情况 While thebase caseproductionvolumes areinline withthe potentialdomesticdemand,it isprobable that theEthtec Process willbe commercialised outsideof Australia toaddressthe significant demandfor2Gtechnologiesin jurisdictions such asUS, China andBrazil. Whilst no detailedanalysisofthelikelyprofileofanyinternational projectshas been made available tous,basedondiscussions withEthtec management,wehave estimatedareasonable take-up of the technologyto befourtimesthatof Australia over time. 虽然基本情况下的产量与潜在的国内需求相符,但 Ethtec 的工艺很有可能将在澳大利亚以外的地方进行商业化,以解决美 国、中国和巴西等国对 2 代技术的巨大需求。虽然 Ethtec 管理层还未对任何国际项目的可能情况进行详细的分析,但我们 估计,随着时间的推移,这项技术的应用将是澳大利亚国内的四倍。 In addition, Ethtec managementbelievethata cost-effectivexylitol productionprocess (such asthrough theEthtec Process)willenableexpansion of thexylitol market andfuel further demandforxylitolasa sugar alternative. Wehave therefore incorporatedinternational royaltiesfromutilisation of theEthtec Process anda royaltyon sales of xylitol from two plantsinto our upside case. 此外,Ethtec 的管理层相信:一种具有成本效益的木糖醇生产工艺(如通过 Ethtec 工艺) 将使木糖醇市场扩大,并进一加 剧木糖醇作为糖替代品的需求。因此,我们已将使用 Ethtec 工艺的国际专利使用费以及两个工厂的木糖醇销售专利使用 费结合到了我们的上涨情况中。 LowCase The successful completionof Phases3and 4of theresearch anddevelopment oftheEthtecProcessincludes demonstrating particular levels of efficiencyat fermenting Ethtec sugarsolutionsto ethanolatcommercial scale aswell as demonstratingthe commercial advantagesina combinedethanolrecoveryandwastetreatmentprocess.Basedon the documentationprovided anddiscussions withEthtec management, should these processes proveless efficient than envisaged,commercialisationoftheEthtecProcess would still beachievablebyincorporatingexisting thirdparty processes or technologyinto theEthtecProcessand / or through commercialising other productswhich could alsobe developed fromthe sameprocess. There aretherefore awiderange of potential outcomes, inthis instance, in termsofethanol / xylitolproductionvolumes(which could stillaligntotheBase caseor UpsideCaseas per above) and/ or pricing and volumesfrom commercialisationof otherproducts such asxylitolonly,bioplastics, etc. As wehave not specifically considered other potentialproducts or marketsto commercialise theexistingtechnology(whichwould likelyhave alower addressable market and / or margins),wehave thereforeimplicitlyreflected thispotential inour assessed royaltyrate. As such,for thepurpose of this scenario,wehaveassumed productionvolumesatsimilar scaleto thebase case,albeit with higherplant 4957 Ethtec Valuation (draft) 21022017 Page 5 of 59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes 草案用于讨论之目的 Valuation ofEthtec Ethtec 资产评估 operating costsand implicitlylowerroyaltyrevenuesavailable toEthtec.A lowerroyaltyreturn of [2.0%] to [3.0%]has beenapplied inthis scenarioreflecting thesefactors. Ethtec 工艺研发中,阶段 3 和阶段 4 的成功实施,包括证明在商业规模下,使用发酵的 Ethtec 糖溶液转化成特定浓度乙醇 的效率,以及证明混合乙醇回收和废物处理过程中的商业优势。基于提供的文档以及与 Ethtec 管理层的讨论,得知这些过 程应该比设想的效率更低,但通过现有的第三方工艺整个到 Ethtec 工艺中,以及/或通过商业化同一个工艺中的其它产品, Ethtec 工艺的商业化仍然可实现。因此在此例中,存在很多潜在结果,比如从乙醇/木糖醇的产量(仍然可以对应到基本情况 或上行情况中的每种情况)和/或定价,以及其它产品的商业化,如木糖醇,生物塑料等。因为我们没有特别考虑其他可能影 响现有技术商业化(可能会有一个更低可寻址市场和/或利润率)的产品或市场,因此我们已在经评估的专利了费率中含蓄 地反映了这点。所以就这个设想来说,尽管有更高的工厂运营成本,也暗暗地降低了 Ethtec 的版税收入,我们假设产量与 基本情况相似。在反映这些因素的方案中,应用了较低版税收益率[2.0%]到[3.0%]。 Failure Case 失败情况 The final scenariowhichwe haveincludedinouranalysisaccountsfor thefailure of theproject to reachaneconomically viable commercialisation stage.There couldbe variousfactors contributingtothis outcomeincluding technicalbarriers and alack of funding. Forthepurposeofthisanalysis, we haveassumedthattheproject is discontinuedat the endof2021 (theexpectedend point of the researchanddevelopmentproject) withno commercially-viableethanolproduction processes developed. However,giventhat the technologycouldbe commerciallyexploitedin its currentform,wehave applied alowprobabilitytothis scenario. 我们的分析中包含的最后一个方案,解释了项目为何没能达到经济上可行的商业化。可能会有各种因素导致这一结果,包 括技术壁垒和资金短缺。就本分析而言,我们假定该项目在 2021 年年底(研发项目的预期终点)停止,同时不存在可行 的商业化乙醇生产过程。然而,考虑到这项技术可以以目前的形式进行商业开发,我们在这个方案下使用了一个低概率。 Details of the underlyingassumptionsforeach scenarioare set out in Section9. 第 9 节列出了每个方案中设想的详细情况。 4957 Ethtec Valuation (draft) 21022017 Page 6 of 59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes 草案用于讨论之目的 Valuation ofEthtec Ethtec 资产评估 We haveassignedthe followingprobabilitiestoeach scenariobasedondiscussion withEthtec management and consideration of the relativerisks for each scenario:在与 Ethtec 管理层讨论,并考虑每个方案的相对风险之后,我们为每个方案分配了如 下概率: ProbabilityWeighting 概率加权 Scenarios 情况 Probability 概率 BaseCase 50% UpsideCase 20% LowCase 25% FailureCase 失败 5% 1.4 Outputs and calculations 产出和计算 The outputsfrom our analysisare set out below:我们的分析结果如下: Scenario Output ($'000)方案产出 Enterprise Value 企业价值 Scenarios 方案 Evaluation 评估 Probability 概率 Low 低 High 高 Base case Mostlikelyoutcomegiventhelowremainingtechnical 50% 45,376 52,857 基本情况 risks of the project, as advisedbyEthtec, and theinterest in theprojectshownbypotentialinvestors 就如 Ethtec 的建议 一样,最有可能的结果是该项目的技术风险较低,并且潜在投资者表 现出对该项目的兴趣。 The underlyingassumptionsinthis scenariogenerally representreasonablylikelyor conservative estimatesoffutureperformance 本方案中的假设基本显示了对未来绩 效的合理可能评估或保守评估 Upside case Given the significant ramp-upinforecast revenue under 20% 110,190 128,742 上行情况 this scenarioandthe levelof uncertaintyinvolvedin estimating take-up rates for two distinctproduction processes (ethanolandxylitol) which are stillin development,wehaveassigned this scenarioalow probabilityweighting 考虑到在本方案下预测收入的大幅 增长以及不确定性的程度,涉及估计两种不同生产工艺(仍在开发中)的吸纳率 (乙醇和木糖醇),我们已给该方案分配了一个低概率加权。 In addition, xylitol is stilla relativelynewopportunityfor Ethtec (comparedto ethanol) whichhas not been explored ingreat detail In addition, xylitol is still a relatively new opportunity for Ethtec (compared to ethanol) which has not been explored in great detail 此外,木糖醇虽然没有大规模开发(与乙醇相比),但对于 Ethtec 仍是一个新机遇。 Lowcase From discussionwithEthtec management, it isbelieved 25% 12,302 19,880 下行情况 thatit is morelikelyforcommercial scale testingto produce less-than-optimal production efficienciesthan for the entireEthtec Processtobe considered commercially unfeasible. As such, we considerthis scenariolesslikely than thebase case but morelikelythanthefailure case 基于与 Ethtec 管理的讨论,我们认为商业规 模测试的生产效率要低于整个 Ethtec 工艺的生产效率,Ethtec 工艺在商业上被认 为是不可行的。因此,我们认为这种情况比基本情况更少,但比失败案例可能性 却更大。 Failure case Given the current stageof theproject, the lowremaining 5% (6,530) (6,530) 失败情况 technical risks, the ongoing ARENAfundingapplication and interest from other investors,this scenario appearsto bereasonablyunlikely 虑到项目当前阶段的现状、遗留的技术方面的低风险、 阿瑞娜(ARENA)正在审核的融资申请,以及其他投资者的利益,这个方案似乎 不太可能发生。下表格详细描述了每个所选的概率值以及每个方案评估值的假设。 47,475 56,821 Probabilityweightedvalue 概率加权值 4957 Ethtec Valuation (draft) 21022017 Page 7 of 59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes 草案用于讨论之目的 Valuation ofEthtec Ethtec 资产评估 Assessedvalue($'000)估定价值($'000) Low High Probabilityweightedvalue 概率 [47,475] [56,821] Assessedvalue 估定价值 [50,000] [60,000] 加权值 In selectingour assessedvaluation rangewehave considered theprobabilityweightingsabove aswellas:在选择估定价值范围的 时候,我们已经考虑了上面的概率权重,以及: ◆ The potentialforfurther developmentand commercialisationoftheDiesehol technology.

Ethtec 已要求 Leadenhall 准备 Ethtec100%控股利益的资产评估(截至当前日期)。我们理解:为筹集资金,这种资产评估 是必需的。除非 Leadenhall 提供书面同意,否则该评估不得用于其他用途。若本报告被任何其他方或以任何其它目的使用, 无论是否因我方疏忽或其他原因,我方对 Ethtec 或任何其他第三方不负任何责任。 2.2 Scope 范围 In accordancewithprofessional standard APES 225Valuation Services, thisreport has beenpreparedasa limited scope valuation engagement, whichis anengagement orassignment toperform avaluationand provideavaluationreportwhere the scopeofworkislimited or restricted. We considerthistobe alimited scopevaluation engagement because thevaluationispremised aroundanumber ofsimplifyingassumptionsand/or limitationswhichare commonfor aproject /technologyat this stageofdevelopment. These includethe following: 依照专业标准 APES 225 资产评估服务,本资产评估是按照一个有限资产评估约定编制的,而有限资产评估约定是一个执行资 产评估并提供评估报告(其中工作范围是有限的或受限的)的约定或任务。我们认为这是一个有限范围的估值义务,因为评 估的前提是围绕一系列的简化假设和/或限制,而这在当前开发阶段的项目/技术中是常见的。 ◆ We havenotsought, nor are wequalified to, independentlyassess thelegal protectionandtechnical meritsof the technologyor available substitutes. Nothing has come to our attention based on our analysis of the independent assessments of the technology undertaken as part of the ARENA funding application which would cause us to doubt the proposed technical merits of the project 我们没有寻求,也没有资格,独立评估该技术或其它可用的替代技术的合 法保护和技术优势。作为阿瑞娜(ARENA)融资申请的一部分,我们对该技术的独立评估进行了分析,没有什么能引 起我们的注意,而该融资申请让我们对该项目的技术优点产生怀疑。 ◆ We havenotassessedthe technicalissues to successful completion of the development of Ethtec'stechnology 我们还 未评估能成功完成 Ethtec 技术开发的技术问题 ◆ We haveassumed that theapplication for ARENA funding is successful 我们假定阿瑞娜(ARENA)融资申请成功 ◆ There areanumberof potentialavenues to commercialisethe technology.

Ethtec 创立于年,致力于进一步开发并商业化由 Apace 研究有限公司(“Apace”)开发的、用于从木质纤维素材料中生产糖、木 质素和乙醇的新技术,以及该公司研发的、用于生产乙醇柴油混合燃料及将其用用户柴油发动机的新技术(Apace 柴油乙醇 混合燃料技术)。 3.2 Ethtec process and productsEthtec 工艺和产品 Ethanol 乙醇 Ethanol isan establishedrenewabletransportfuelthat is usedin theformofethanol-petrolblends containing upto10% ethanol in conventionalpetrol engines, upto 27% ethanolin adaptedpetrolengines andupto 85%ethanolinflexible-fuel engines. Neat ethanolis usedasfuelin ethanolenginesandin some modernflexible-fuelengines. 乙醇是一种成熟的可再生运输用燃料,而运输用燃料通常是乙醇柴油混合液;对于传统汽油发动机,该混合液中的乙醇含量 不超过 10%,对于改装汽油发动机,燃料中的乙醇含量不超过 27%,在两用燃料引擎中,乙醇含量不超过 85%。 在乙醇发动机和一些现代的两用燃料发动机中,使用纯乙醇作为燃料。 Ethanol producedfromfood cropproducts suchas sugar cane juice,corn starchandwheatstarchisreferred toasfirstgeneration ethanol. However,thesefeedstocks are also usedfortheproduction of foodproducts andthe competitionitcreates with thefood market acts asa constraint on ethanolproduction fromthese feedstocks. 产自于甘蔗汁,玉米淀粉和小麦淀粉等粮食作物产品的乙醇,被称为一代乙醇。然而,这些原料也用于食品生产,因此 这种乙醇生产方法与食品市场存在竞争,这样的竞争反过来限制了一代乙醇的生产。 Ethanol producedfromlignocellulosic or fibrous materials suchasagricultural crop residues, forestwastes and municipal green wasteisreferred toas second generationor cellulosicethanol. 产自于农业作物残渣、森林废物和城市绿色废物等木质纤维素的乙醇,被称为二代乙醇。 The majorityof cellulosicethanol productionprocessesrevolvearound developing methodsof steam and/ or acidpre- treatmentof the lignocellulosicfeedstock followedbytheuse of enzymes torelease the structural sugarsinto solution (known asenzymatic hydrolysis), therebymaking thembioavailablefora micro-organism toferment to ethanol. Major limitations ofthisapproach are: 大部分木制纤维素生产的乙醇身生产过程,围绕木质纤维素原料的蒸汽和/或酸预处理方法,然后使用酶将结构糖释放到 溶液中(称为酶水解),从而使它们有生物可用性,以便微生物发酵,产生乙醇。这种方法的主要制约是: ◆ The required steamand / or acid pre-treatment processis expensiveintermsofboth capitaland operational costs 从资金和运营成本方面考虑,所需的蒸汽和/或酸性预处理过程都很昂贵 ◆ Enzymes arefeedstockspecific and cannot be usedon multipleormixedfeedstocks 酶只对原料有效,不能用于多种或混合饲料 ◆ Enzymes are slowacting,requiringdaysto completereleaseof the structural sugars, resulting inlarge sizedholding vessels,alarge plant footprintandhigh capital cost 酶反应较慢,需要好几天才能完全释放结构糖,这会导致需要大型船舶,大型工厂(占地面积大)以及高成本。 ◆ Incomplete pre-treatment and / or lowenzymeefficiencyresults inlowyields of sugars, which inturnresults inlow ethanol yields 不完全的预处理和/或低下的酶分解效率会导致底下的糖产量,从而影响乙醇产量 ◆ Enzymes areexpensiveandare consumed ineachbatch, resultingin highoperational costs 酶价格昂贵,并且每一批都被消耗掉,这导致经营成本较高。 The EthtecProcessaims toovercomethe above-mentionedlimitationsbyusing concentrated sulphuric acidtorelease the feedstock structural sugars(known asacidhydrolysis) in highyieldsina rapid continuousprocess. A continuous chromatographysystemthen separates the sugarsfrom theacid, allowing theacidto berecycledand the sugarstobe fermentedto ethanol. 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 9of59 Ethtec 工艺旨在通过使用浓硫酸在快速连续的过程中释放高产量的原料结构糖(即酸水解),从而克服上述限制。然后使用 一种连续的色谱系统,将糖和酸分离,使酸被回收,糖被发酵成乙醇。 The useofacidhydrolysisallows for awide varietyof feedstock tobeutilised asinputs, including mixedfeedstockinputs,as theprocessdoes not dependon feedstock-specificenzymes. The EthtecProcessalso negatestheneed for pre- treatmentofthe feedstock. 酸水解法允许多种原料作为投入使用,包括混合原料投入,因为这个过程不依赖于特定于原料的酶。Ethtec 的过程也否定 了对原料预处理的需要。 Based ondiscussionwith Ethtec, weunderstandthere arenoexisting commercial scaleplantsusinga similar process. 在与 Ethtec 讨论后,我们了解到目前位置还未有任何商业规模的工厂使用类似工艺。 Currently, Australiahasan ethanol mandatein placeinNewSouth Walesandin Queensland. Ethtecbelievesthis mandate islikelyto beextendednationwide infuturedue totheincreasing globalfocuson ethanolasa clean, alternative fuel (cellulosicethanolinparticular) and asethanolproductionprocessesbecome moreeconomical. This canbe observed fromthe implementationofsimilar policiesin countries such astheUnited States, Brazil andthroughoutEurope.TheUnited StatesEnvironmentalProtection AgencyhasrecentlyapprovedE15(15% ethanol, 85%unleaded petrol)for use invehiclesbuiltafter 2001. In Brazil, flex-fuelvehicles (vehiclesthat can runonfuel blendswithvarying proportions of ethanoland petrol) are common andE27is the minimum mandated ethanol-petrolblend. 目前,澳大利亚在新南威尔士州和昆士兰都有现行的乙醇强制执行授权。Ethtec 认为:由于乙醇作为一种清洁的替代燃料 (特别是木质纤维素乙醇)受到越来越多的全球关注,并且乙醇生产过程变得更加经济,因此这项授权在未来很可能在全国范 围内推广。这点可从美国、巴西和整个欧洲等国家对类似政策的执行中看出。美国环境保护署最近批准了燃料 E15(15%乙 醇,85%无铅汽油),用于 2001 年后建造的车辆中。在巴西,混合燃料汽车(可使用不同乙醇-汽油比例的混合燃料的汽车) 很常见,E27 是强制要求最低的乙醇-汽油混合燃料。 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 10of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes Valuation ofEthtec Ethtec 资产评估 Xylitol 木糖醇 Xylitol isan alternativenatural sweetener found in small quantitiesin most fruits andvegetables.It has theequivalentsweetness of sucrosewithapproximatelyonethird of the kilojoulesand canbe consumedbydiabetics as it is metabolised viaan insulin-independent pathway 木糖醇是一种可替代的天然甜味剂,在大多数水果和蔬菜中发现含有少量木糖醇。木糖醇的甜度相当于大约三分之一千焦 的蔗糖,而且由于木糖醇是只通过胰岛素来代谢的,因此可被糖尿病人消耗掉。 The global market forxylitolwasestimated at 191,000tonnes in2016and isexpectedto increaseto 267,000 tonnesby 2022 drivenbyincreasinglyhealthand weight conscious consumers. Thelarge majorityof xylitolisproducedinChina and isusedinvarious sectors suchas sugar-free chewinggum, toothpaste,pharmaceuticalsandpremiumnon-sugar confectionaryproducts. 2016 年,木糖醇的全球市场产量为 19.1 万吨,并且随着越来越多的消费者对于健康和体重关注,预计到 2022 年产量将 增加到 267000 吨。绝大多数木糖醇产自中国,用于无糖口香糖、牙膏、药物及高档不含糖糖果等产品。 Xylitol is currentlyproducedexclusivelyfromeither corn cobs or thebarkfrom birchwoodtrees, both of whicharerichin xylose. After extracting thexylose,it ishydrogenated toform xylitolusing anexpensivenickel catalyst, resulting inahigh- costproduction process. 木糖醇目前仅由玉米芯或桦木树树皮生产,因为它们都富含木糖。在提取木糖后,用一种昂贵的镍催化剂加氢形成木糖醇, 这导致了高成本的生产工艺。 Amoreeconomicalwayknowntoproduce xylitolfromxylose isthroughfermentation. However, the majorbarrier tothis approach hashistoricallybeen a sustainable supplyof axylose-rich sugarstream. Basedon Ethtec'sdata, the sugar stream producedfrom sugar cane bagasseisrichinxylitol whichhasthepotential toprovidethenecessaryhigh-volume sugarstreamforcommercial-scaleproduction of xylitol.Furthermore, preliminarywork by Ethtec has shown that the yeast,Candidatropicalis,can ferment theglucose and mannose componentsof theEthtec hydrolysateto ethanoland fermentthexylose component toxylitol.Thisprovidesa meansof co-production of ethanol andxylitol, and apossible earlypathwayto commercialisationfor Ethtec. 发酵是从木糖中生产木糖醇的一种更经济的方法。然而,这种方法的一直以来都存在主要障碍,业绩素食受限于富含木糖 的糖浆的可持续供应。Ethtec 的数据表明,甘蔗蔗渣生产的糖浆富含木糖醇,可能为木糖醇的商业化规模生产提供必须的 大量的糖流。此外,Ethtec 的研究还表明:酵母和念珠菌可以将 Ethtec 水解液中的葡萄糖和甘醇成份酵化成乙醇,并将木 糖成分酵化成木糖醇。这为乙醇和木糖醇的联合生产提供了一种手段,并为 Ethtec 的商业化提供了一个可能的早期途径。 Diesohol 柴油乙醇混合燃料 Apace isalsointhe processof developinga newtechnologyfor the productionof ethanol-dieselfuel blendsandtheir use in dieselengines (“Diesohol”) which could alsorepresenta significant commercialisation opportunityfor Ethtec.

Whilstthework undertakentodate ispromising,significant additional research, testingand developmentwillberequired beforethe commercial merits canbeverified. Apace 还在开发一种用于生产乙醇柴油混合燃料(“乙醇柴油混合燃料”)及其在柴油发动机中使用的新技术,该技术也可为 Ethtec 的商业化带来重大机遇。若研发成功,乙醇与柴油按体积混合最高可达 15%,而且在现有柴油发动机中可与柴油互 换使用。乙醇含有高达 30%的乙醇柴油混合燃料,可用于小型改良发动机。该技术一旦商业化,这些行业就会将其在运营 中使用的大量柴油燃料替换成乙醇柴油混合燃料。目前针对大型工业用户已进行了一些有限的试验/测试。虽然迄今为止, 所进行的工作都是前途光明的,但在验证商业价值之前,还需要进行大量的额外研究、测试和开发。 3.3 DevelopmentStatus 开发现状 The development oftheEthtecProcess isdividedinto four distinct phases witheach phase containingatleast one componentof keynewtechnology. The first twophases involveddeveloping processestoliberate sugarsfromfeedstocks through acidhydrolysis,separatingtheacid fromthe sugarandrecyclingthe acidbyre-concentrating it andreturning it to the front end of theprocess.Thesephaseshave been completed successfullyandrepresent areas of development with higher technical risks relative to the following two phases due to dependence on the development of novel / new processes. Ethtec 工艺开发分为四个不同阶段,每个阶段包含至少一个关键新技术的一个组成部分。前两个阶段包括:通过酸解将糖从 原料中分离,将酸与糖分离,再将酸重新浓缩并再次适用到上工序末的开发工艺。这几个阶段已经成功实施,也揭示了与后 续阶段有关的、具有高技术风险的开发之处,因为后面的阶段依赖于新的/新工艺的发展。 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 10 of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes Valuation ofEthtec Ethtec 资产评估 The researchinphases 3and4 relatetothe fermentingof sugars (releasedfromfeedstocksin theearlier parts of the process)intoethanoland combining theethanolrecoveryprocesses withwasterecovery.

Should Ethtec'sresearchin thesephases produceless than satisfactoryresults, Ethtec would stillbe abletoutilise existingtechnologies / processesto achieve similar results,albeit with higher costs. 阶段 3 和阶段 4 涉及糖(从前工序的原料中释放出来)转化成乙醇的酵化,并结合了乙醇的回收工艺。根据与 Russell Reeves 博士的探讨,认为这两个阶段的技术风险较低,因为这两个阶段的成功往往是基于现有糖-乙醇酵化工艺以及乙醇 回收/废物处理工艺的效率。此外,糖-乙醇酵化是一个易于理解并进行商业测试的工艺,该工艺由一个重要的研究机构作为 支撑。若 Ethtec 在这两个阶段的研究成果不尽如人意,Ethtec 仍然可以利用现有的技术/工艺实现类似结果,但这样做成本 会更高。 In addition, theprocessesdeveloped inPhases1and 2arealsovaluable to sectorsother than ethanolasthehigh- volume sugar streamthatcanbeproduced usingtheseprocesseshas thepotentialto beutilisedin manyother industries such asbioplastics(a formof plasticwhich isderivedfrombiological substancesinsteadof petroleum andis biodegradable). 此外,阶段 1 和 2 中的开发工艺,也对非乙醇的步骤具有重要价值,因为使用这些工艺生产的高容量糖流也很有可能在许多 其他行业中使用,如生物塑料(一种来自生物物质、具有生物降解性的塑料,用来代替石油)。 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 10 of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes Valuation ofEthtec Ethtec 资产评估 3.4 Business model 商业模式 The Ethtec commercialisation strategy, both withinAustralia andinternationally,isnotyet agreed but mayincludeeither a licensing modeloractivelypursuingthe formationofconsortiathat comprise resourceowners,capitalinvestors, process equipment/technologysuppliers and product offtake organisations.

Ethtec 在这些项目中的作用将是提供 Ethtec 工艺,包括专业知识和正在进行的研发,以确保这些技术一直保持行业领先水 平。预期 Ethtec 将会通过颁发许可,或在这些实体中进行联合股权分配的方式来分配因上述合作方加入而获取的利润 (使 实体能给 Ethtec 股权分配)。 The commercialisationoftheEthtec Processwould generatepotentiallysignificantbenefitsforresourceowners bywayofvalue- adding biomassresources usedinthe process.As such, Ethtecexpects significant support and uptakeof the EthtecProcessbycompanies/ individuals involvedin theforest, sugarcaneandotheragriculturalindustries,bothwithin Australia and internationally. Ethtec 工艺的商业化将会给资源所有者带来潜在的重大利益,因为商业化过程中所使用的生物质资源是增值的。因此,在 澳大利亚国内以及国际上,Ethtec 希望能得到与森林、甘蔗和其它农业产业相关的公司/个人的、对于 Ethtec 工艺的支持和 理解,并参与到这些行业中去。 In addition, the EthtecProcess involvesnewand /ornovelapplicationsforparticular types of processequipment.Accordingly,suppliersofthisequipmentarealso stakeholdersthatwillpotentiallyderive significantbenefitsfrom commercialisation of the EthtecProcess bywayofanew,large-scale, applicationfortheir products and services. 此外,Ethtec 工艺还会使用到新的/新颖的特殊工艺设备。因此,此类设备的供应商也是利益相关者,因为他们可通过部署 新的、大规模的、产品和服务从 Ethtec 工艺商业化中获得明显收益。 Organisations involvedinthe downstreamvalue-adding, trading,wholesaleand/or retail supplyof (lignocellulosic) sugars,ethanoland / or otherproductsproducedfrom (lignocellulosic) sugarsare also stakeholdersthatwillpotentially derive significantbenefits from commercialisation oftheEthtec Process. 参与下游增值、交易、批发和/或糖、乙醇和/或其它糖类产品(木质纤维素)零售供应(木质纤维素)的组织,也可能从 Ethtec 工艺的商业化过程中获得巨大的利益。 3.5 Apace relationship 与 Apace 的关系 Apace wasincorporatedin NewSouthWales in1979 asa non-profit company, limited byguarantee, toundertake research anddevelopment ofrenewableenergytechnologies.

EthanolPlantAssumptions 乙醇工厂的设想 5.1 Introduction In order to developa set of cash flowprojections for Ethtec, we havefirstassessedtheforecasteconomicsofanethanol plantemployingthe EthtecProcess todeterminea reasonablereturn (inthe formof a royaltyorother profit distribution arrangement)toestimate Ethtec'srevenue stream. From discussionswith management, ourlimitedindustryanalysisand reviewof existingplantmodelling/ projections providedbymanagement, we havedeveloped cash flowprojections based ontheassumptions set out below. Theseassumptionsare premisedontheassumptions utilisedinthe ARENA funding applicationandotherinformationprovidedbymanagement. We haveprimarilyrelied ontheinformation provided,including estimatesofethanolyield fromfeedstocks,andoperational and capital expenditurerequirements.We haveonlyundertakenlimited analysisof keyindustry variables suchasethanol pricingandthefuelexcise. 为了开发一套针对 Ethtec 的现金流预测,我们首先评估了一个应用 Ethtec 工艺的乙醇工厂的预期经济,来确定合理的回报 (以特许权使用费或其他利润分配的形式)来估计 Ethtec 的收入来源。基于与管理层的讨论、我们有限的行业分析以及对管 理层提供的现有工厂建模/预测的回顾,我们根据下面的设想制定了现金流预测。这些设想的前提是:在阿瑞娜(ARENA) 资金申请以及管理层提供的其他信息中采用的设想。我们主要依赖于所提供的信息,包括对饲料产乙醇的产量的估计,以 及运营和资本支出的要求。我们仅对主要工业变量进行了有限分析,例如乙醇的定价和燃料税。 Referto Appendix5fordetailedforecasts basedon theseassumptions. 欲知这些设想进行详细的预测,请参见附录 5。 5.2 Plantcapacityusage and production volume 工厂产能利用率和产量 Capacityusageof an ethanolproduction plant from commencementof operationsis assumedtoincrease asfollows based on current Ethtec modelling: 根据目前的 Ethtec 模型,估计乙醇生产工厂在商业化操作下的产能利用率将会有如下增加: ◆ Year1:50%oftotalplant capacity 第一年:工厂生产总能力的 50%。 ◆ Year2onwards:100%oftotalplant capacity 第二年及以后:工厂生产总能力的 100% This ramp-upprofile assumes sufficient ongoing demandfor ethanol after Year 2 to continueproducing at 100% capacity which isnotunreasonablegiventhe growingdemand for alternativefuels (topetrol),theprovenviabilityof ethanolfor use inpetrolblends andtheblending of ethanolbeing increasinglygovernment-mandated, both in Australiaandglobally. 这个上升的利润是基于以下假设:假设在第 2 年之后存在足够的、不间断的乙醇需求,以使工厂继续全产能生产(但这是 不合理的,因未要考虑替代燃料的需求不断增长);并且乙醇在汽油中使用的可行性已证实,同时在澳大利亚和全球范围 内乙醇混合技术受到越来越多的政府授权。 Forthepurposeof our analysis,wehaveassumedanethanol plant capacityof 60 million litres("ML") per annumwhich is theaverage ethanolnameplateplantcapacitysupportablebased ontheoutputof sugar cane bagassein Australia.Sugarcanebagasseis likelytobe oneof the main feedstocksfor Ethtec Processethanolplants in Australiagiventhe availabilityof the resource, thehigh potentialyield andthe potentialfor value addto resourceowners. 就我们的分析而言,根据澳大利亚甘蔗蔗渣的产量计算而得的贴牌乙醇工厂的产能的均值,我们假设乙醇工厂的年产能为 6000 万升(“ML”)。考虑到资源的可用性,潜在的高产量以及对资源所有者潜在的增值,甘蔗渣很可能是 Ethtec 工艺在澳 大利亚乙醇工厂的主要原料之一。 5.3 Ethanolprice 乙醇的价格 We haveadoptedthe import parityprice ("IPP") of ethanolof115 centsperlitreasa proxyfor thewholesale priceofethanol.ThisIPPhasbeendetermined bytheIndependent PricingandRegulatory Tribunal("IPART") in relationto wholesale ethanolpricingforpetrol-ethanolblendsin Australia.[Wehavealso consideredpricesfor ethanol basedon terminal gateprices("TGP") forpetrolwhichwould imply higher prices than implied by the above] 我们采用了乙醇的进口平价(IPP)115 美分/升,作为乙醇的批发价。该 IPP 是由澳大利亚的与汽油乙醇混合定价有关的独 立定价与监管仲裁庭(IPART)确定的。【我们还考虑了基于终端门槛价(TGP)的乙醇价格,因为基于终端门槛价 (TGP)的价格要高于基于上述定价】。 We haveassumedanincrease inethanolpriceovertimebasedonthe assumedinflationrateof2.0%per annum. 我们已根据假设的年通胀率 2.0%,估计随着时间的推移乙醇价格会增加。 While wehaveadopted theabovepriceforour valuation, wealso notethat the selling pricewillbe closelyconnectedto the cost 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 14of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes offeedstock. This hasbeenevaluated byEthtec throughan analysisof profitabilitybasedon variationsinboth selling priceand feedstock cost. Asaresultof this analysis, Ethtec believethat an appropriatefeedstock cost wouldbe approximately$50per drytonne(discussed inSection5.6below) whichrepresents avalueaddtoresourceowners given that the majorityoffeedstockto theEthtec Processwould be considered waste material otherwise. As such,variations infeedstock costs willbe closelylinkedtoactual ethanol sellingprice andprofitabilityas awhole. 虽然我们已在我们的评估中使用了上述价格,但我们也注意到销售价格将与原料成本密切相关。Ethtec 公司已对基于销售 价格和原料成本的变化进行了盈利能力的分析,从而对其进行评估。上述分析的结果就是,Ethtec 认为合适的原料成本约 为 50 美元/干吨(将在下文 5.6 中讨论);对这个价格对于资源所有者来说是一个附加值,因为大多数的原料都被认为是废 物。因此,总地来说,原料成本的变化,会与实际的乙醇售价和盈利能力密切相关。 5.4 Excise 消费税 Until July2016, there hadbeenzero fuelexciseon ethanol. Under currentgovernment legislation, from July2016, a fuel excise istobeincrementallyapplied toethanolover afour yearperiodto July2020. This exciseisappliedbymultiplying the current fuel excisebythe ethanolexciserate. Theethanolexcise rate, expressedas apercentageofthefuel excise,is prescribedbythe ATO. 直到 2016 年 7 月,对乙醇还没有征收消费税。但根据目前的政府立法,将从 2016 年 7 月起对乙醇逐步征收 4 年消费税, 直至 2020 年 7。该消费税是通过将当前的燃油消费税乘以乙醇消费税来来征收的。在燃料消费税中,乙醇消费税是由 ATO 规定的。 The fuelexcisefortheperiodfromFebruary2017to July2017 is40.1 centsperlitrewiththeexcise beingindexedtothe CPIbiannually(every1 Februaryand1 August).Wehaveadopted thisasourratefor that period (notingthat there isa corresponding cost) andassumeda biannualincreaseinline withaninflationrate of 2.0%per annum. 自 2017 年 2 月到 6 月的燃油消费税是 40.1 美分/升,并且该消费税与每年的 CPI 挂钩(每年的 2 月 1 日和 8 月 1 日)。我们 把它当做那一时期的费率(注意到有相应的成本),并假设每年的通货膨胀率为 2.0%。 Given that the first Ethtec ethanolplantisnotexpectedto begin construction until2020,theethanol excisewill befully ramped-up bythe timethe first plantbeginsoperations. 考虑到首个 Ethtec 乙醇工厂预计到 2020 年才开始建设,因此到首个工厂开始运营时,会被征收完全的乙醇消费税。 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 15of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes Valuation of Ethtec Ethtec 资产评估 5.5 Ethanolrevenue 乙醇带来的收益 The aboveassumptionson productionvolume, ethanol priceandexcise result inthe followingrevenue profile(after deducting GSTpayable):上述对于乙醇产量,价格和消费税的假设,会产生以下收益(扣除消费税后): Revenue 收益($'000) 100,000 90,000 80,000 70,000 60,000 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,000 0 Year 10 Year 11 Year 12 Year 13 Year 14 Year 15 Year 16 Year 17 Year 18 Year 19 Year 20 Year 21 Year 22 Year 23 Year 24 Year 25 Year1 Year2 Year3 Year4 Year5 Year6 Year7 Year8 Year9 5.6 Costoffeedstock 原料成本 As per the ARENAfundingapplication, feedstock costshavebeenassumed basedona cost per drytonne of $50.Ethtec haveassumedthatoneof the mainfeedstockswhich willbeused byfutureEthtec plantswillbe sugar cane bagasse.A priceof $50perdrytonnewouldrepresent a significant valueaddto sugarcaneresource ownersgiventhe majorityof bagasse is consideredto bewaste. 根据阿瑞娜(ARENA)的融资申请,原料成本是基于 50 美元/干吨的成本。Ethtec 假定将来 Ethtec 工厂使用的主要原料 之一就是甘蔗渣。若大多数的甘蔗渣被认为是废物,那么 50 美元/干吨的价格对甘蔗资源所有者来说是一个重大的附加价 值。 The maximumtheoreticalethanol yieldof sugarcanebagasseis 400Lper drytonneof feedstock.

These assumptionsresultinannual feedstock usageofapproximately214,286 drytonnes for a 60MLethanolplant. 理论上,甘蔗渣乙醇的最高产量为 400L/每干吨原料。Ethtec 认为理论上他们的工艺将能够产出的最大乙醇产量是上述产出 的 70%,也就是 280L/每干吨原料。这一比例的产量是基于当前其工厂的原料转换率和乙醇发酵率的基础之上的。这些假设 的结果是,对于一个 60ML 的乙醇工厂,其每年消耗的原料为 214,286 干吨。 Otherfeedstockswith potentiallysimilaryieldsto sugar canebagasse includewheatstubbleand radiatapine[sawdust].Ethtec also considers that boththese feedstocks couldreasonablybepurchasedata costof $50perdrytonne. 其它有甘蔗渣有类似产量的原料包括:麦茬和白松木[木屑]。Ethtec 还认为这些原料都可以以 50 美元/干吨的价格合理购 买。 5.7 Operating expenses 经营支出 Perthe ARENA funding application, operatingexpenses areassumedon adollarsperlitrebasis. Ethtec havequantified this as34 centsper litre after takinginto considerationvarious studiesonthe economicsof enzymatic hydrolysisfor the production of cellulosic ethanolandthe expected efficiencyof theEthtec Processbycomparison. This costper litreis believed by Ethtec tobe a conservative estimateat this stage of the development project. 在阿瑞娜(ARENA)融资申请中,经营费用是以 1 美元/升计算的。在参考了各种关于纤维素乙醇生产的经济学研究,并 比较了 Ethtec 工艺的预期效率之后,Ethtec 已经将其具化为 34 美分/升。Ethtec 认为在开发项目的这一阶段,每升乙醇的 成本是保守估计。 We haveincludedan inflationaryincreasein operatingexpensesovertimebasedonthe assumedinflationrate of 2.0%. 在假定的 2.0%的通胀率基础上,我们已经包含了随时间推移而增长的通货膨胀。 5.8 Capitalexpenditure and depreciation 资本支出和折旧 The initialoutlayfor the construction of a 60MLEthtecProcess ethanolplanthasbeenestimated byEthtec tobe$150 million. 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 16of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes From discussionwithEthtec management, we understandthisto bean earlyand conservative estimateof the costbasedon conversationswithequipmentsuppliersandotherpotential suppliers/stakeholders. Each ethanolplant is expected tohave auseful lifeof 20 yearstranslating toanannual depreciationrate of 5.0%. 据 Ethtec 估计,建立一个 60ML 的 Ethtec 工艺乙醇工厂的初始支出为 1.5 亿美元。在于 Ethtec 管理层沟通后,我们理解: 基于与设备供应商及其他潜在供应商/利益相关者进行对话,这是一个早期的、保守的成本估计。每个乙醇工厂的使用寿命 预期为 20 年,每年折旧率为 5.0%。 We haveestimatedongoing capexbyassuminga maintainable levelof plant and equipment asapercentageofrevenue.

The mixedplant willhave anameplate ethanol production capacityof36MLper yearandaxylitol production capacityof18,857tonneswhereas eachethanol- onlyplant willhavean ethanolproduction capacityof60MLper year. The number of plantsassumed tobecome operational over the forecast periodhas beenbasedon theforecastsdetailed inthe ARENA fundingapplication withthe maximum number of plants being cappedat29. Thistotalnumberof plantsis basedonanticipatedethanol demandin Australia assuminganationwide 10% mandateforethanoluseinpetrol blendsandequates toapproximately1.75billion litres of ethanol. Ethtecexpects toreach thisnumberof plants by2032 withthe followingramp-upprofile:就本分析而言,我们假定首个工厂将会是一个 乙醇/木糖醇联合生产工厂,并且此后的所有工厂将只生产乙醇(无副产品)。混合工厂铭牌乙醇产能为 36ML,木糖醇的产能为 18,857 吨。而每个只 生产乙醇工厂的乙醇年产能为 60ML。在预测期间,假定为可经营的工厂数量,是根据提交给阿瑞娜(ARENA)的融资申请中详细预测而定的,但 是工厂的最大数量不能超过 29。工厂的数量取决于澳大利亚预期的乙醇需求,也就是假设在全澳范围内,在汽油中使用乙醇的比例为 10%,就相 当于大约有 17.5 亿升乙醇的需求。预计 Ethtec 将在 2032 年达到这一数量,同时具有如下增长概况: Numberofplants 工厂的数量 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 2035 2036 2037 2038 2039 2040 2041 2042 6.3 Ethanoland xylitolrevenue 乙醇和木糖醇带来的收益 Forecastethanolrevenue attributableto Ethtecis afunctionoftheethanol pricingand exciseassumptions detailedin Section 5andthe plant andvolume assumptionsdescribedinSection 6.2above. Ethtec 应得收益的预测是乙醇定价和消费税假设的功能,这在第 5 节中详细给出;工厂和假设体积在上文 6.2 节中给出。 In addition, wehave assumedtheprice of xylitolto be$2.50perkg. While currentxylitolpricesare approximately$5.00 perkg, the costefficienciesofproducingxylitolusing theEthtecProcess arelikelyto beoneofthe maindrivers for the take-up of the processforxylitolproduction. Currently,thehigh priceofxylitolisa deterrent to its morewidespread usage asa sugar alternative. 另外,我们假设木糖醇的价格是 2.50 美元/公斤。虽然目前木糖醇的价格大约是 5 美元/公斤,但是使用 Ethtec 工艺生产 木糖醇的成本效率很可能是木糖醇生产过程的主要驱动因素之一。目前,木糖醇的高价格阻碍了它作为糖替代品的广泛使 用。 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 20of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes Valuation of Ethtec Ethtec 资产评估 Based on theseassumptions,thefollowing revenuesare expectedto beattributable toEthtec: 基于上述假设,Ethtec 期望收到下述收益: Attributablerevenue 应计收益($'m) 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 500 0 2017 2019 2021 2023 2025 2027 2029 2031 2033 2035 2037 2039 2041 6.4 Royaltyrevenue forEthtecEthtec 获得的专利使用费收益 Based onthe forecast plant profitabilityfor an ethanol-onlyplant, we haveassessed areasonableroyaltyratetobe between [6.0%]and[7.0%]ofsales.

Scenario Analysis 方案分析 9.1 Introduction 介绍 Given theearlystagenature of Ethtec andthe uncertaintiesinherentinforecasts of future operationsand cashflowsfor an entitywithno commercialtrackrecord (asis common for earlystage companies),wehaveevaluated other potential scenarios in conjunctionwith informationprovidedbymanagement. These scenariosare describedbelow. 考虑到 Ethtec 的早期特性,以及对一个无商业记录(对于还处于早期阶段的公司来说,这是很常见的)的实体的未来经营 和现金流预测来说固有的不确定性,我们已经评估了与管理层提供的信息有关的其它可能方案。这些方案在下文进行详细 描述。 9.2 Upside case 上涨情况 The base case scenarioassumes productionvolumes arein linewithpotentialdomestic demand. Oneof theprobable avenues for commercialisation of the EthtecProcessincludes thepotential for theprocess tobe utilisedbyplants outside of Australia. Whilethere isalsopotential for Australian-produced ethanoltobe exportedoverseas(assuming sufficientlocal supply),the costs of exportingalong withtariffs or exciseimposed byimporting countries mayprove prohibitive. As such,we consider it more probablythat theprocess is simplyadoptedforusein secondgeneration ethanol plants internationally, likelyin conjunction withlocal partners. 基本情况中的的假定产量与潜在的国内需求相一致。Ethtec 工艺的商业化的可能途径之一,包括该工艺在澳大利亚以外 的工厂使用的可能性。尽管澳大利亚产乙醇也有出口到海外的可能(假设当地供应充足),但是进口国家征收关税或消费 税的成本可能过高。因此,我们认为:该工艺在国际上用于工厂生产二代乙醇的可能性要更大于,很可能与当地合作伙 伴一起合作。 In addition, Ethtec managementbelievethata cost-effectivexylitol productionprocess (such asthrough theEthtec Process)willenableexpansion of thexylitol market andfuel further demandforxylitolasa sugar alternative. Wehave therefore incorporatedinternational royaltiesfromutilisation of theEthtec Process anda royaltyon sales of xylitol from two plantsinto our upside case. 此外,Ethtec 的管理层认为:一种合乎成本效益的木糖醇生产工艺(比如通过 Ethtec 工艺)能扩大木糖醇市场,进一步推 动木糖醇作为糖的替代品。因此,我们已将使用 Ethtec 工艺的国际专利使用费以及两个工厂的木糖醇销售专利使用费结合 到了我们的上涨情况中。 The followingisa summaryof theassumptions madeinrelation totheupside case: 以下是上涨情况中假设的摘要信息: ◆ The first two Ethtecplants areassumedto be mixed ethanol/xylitolplants with every plant after thatassumedtobe ethanol-onlyplantsdue touncertaintyinoverall marketsizeforxylitoland theabilityfor Ethtecto captureaproportion ofthat market. Each mixed plant hasa nameplateethanol production capacityof36MLand xylitol capacityof 18,857 tonnes.Theinitial capitaloutlayto construct a mixedethanol / xylitolplants isassumed tobe1.5 timesthe cost of a pure ethanolplant. Operating costsperlitreof ethanol producedare assumedtoremain the same. However,additional operating costsof $1 per kgof xylitol producedareassumedto beincurred 前两个 Ethtec 工厂被设定为乙醇/木糖醇混合工厂,在这之后,由于木糖醇整个市场的不确定性,以及 Ethtec 为了占领 一部分市场,这两个工厂被假定为纯乙醇工厂。每一个混合工厂的铭牌乙醇产能为 36ML,木糖醇的产能为 18,857 吨。 建立混合乙醇/木糖醇工厂的初始资本支出,假定为纯乙醇工厂成本的 1.5 倍。每升乙醇的生产成本被认为是不变的。但 是,也认为每生产一千克木糖醇会产生额外经营成本。 ◆ The first international EthtecProcess plant is assumedtobegin operations5 yearsafterthefirstoperationalplant in Australia.Theramp-up profileof international plantsis assumedtofollowa similar ramp-up profileto Australia. The maximum number of plants hasbeen capped at 116plants whichis[fourtimes] theforecastmaximumnumber ofAustralian plantsin thebase case. Given that globalethanol productionin [2025] is forecast to beapproximately[130]billion litres, 116 plantsproducingapproximately6.9billionlitres of ethanol still representsonly5% of global production ◆ All other baseassumptionsremainthe sameasthebase case 所有其他情况中的基本假设与基本情况中的保持一致 The aboveassumptions generatethe followingprojectedfree cashflows usingthelowerroyaltyrate of6.0%: 在使用了较低的专利使用费费率 6.0%,上述假设产生了下述预期自由现金流量: Freecashflows 自由现 金流量($'000) 350,000 300,000 250,000 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 28of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes 200,000 150,000 100,000 50,000 0 -50,000 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 2035 2036 2037 2038 2039 2040 2041 2042 These cashflowprojections produceanenterprisevalue of $110.2 million to$128.7 millionapplying adiscount rateof20.0%. 基于这些现金流预测,在贴现率为 20.0%的情况下,公司的企业价值为 1.102 亿美元至 1.870 亿美元。 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 29of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes Valuation of Ethtec Ethtec 资产评估 9.3 Lowcase The successful completionof Phases3and 4of theresearch anddevelopment oftheEthtecProcessincludes demonstrating particular levels of efficiencyat fermenting Ethtec sugarsolutionsto ethanolatcommercial scale aswell as demonstratingthe commercial advantagesina combinedethanolrecoveryandwastetreatmentprocess.Basedon the documentationprovided anddiscussions withEthtec management, should theseprocesses proveless efficient than envisaged,commercialisationoftheEthtecProcess would still beachievablebyincorporatingexisting thirdparty processes or technologyinto theEthtecProcessand / or through commercialising other productswhich could alsobe developed fromthe sameprocess. There aretherefore awiderange of potential outcomes, inthis instance, in termsofethanol / xylitolproductionvolumes(which could stillaligntothe Base caseor UpsideCase asper above) and/ or pricing andvolumes from commercialisationofother products such asxylitolonly,bioplastics, etc. As wehavenotspecificallyconsideredotherpotentialproductsormarketsto commercialise theexistingtechnology(whichwouldlikely have alower addressable market and/or margins),we havethereforeimplicitlyreflected thispotentialin our assessed royaltyrate. As such,for thepurpose of this scenario,wehaveassumed productionvolumesatsimilar scaleto thebase case,albeit with higher plant operating costsand implicitlylower royaltyrevenuesavailableto Ethtec. Alower royalty return of[2.0%] to [3.0%]hasbeen appliedin this scenarioreflecting thesefactors. Ethtec 工艺研发中,阶段 3 和阶段 4 的成功实施,包括证明在商业规模下,使用发酵的 Ethtec 糖溶液转化成特定浓度乙 醇的效率,以及证明混合乙醇回收和废物处理过程中的商业优势。基于提供的文档以及与 Ethtec 管理层的讨论,得知这些 过程应该比设想的效率更低,但通过现有的第三方工艺整个到 Ethtec 工艺中,以及/或通过商业化同一个工艺中的其它产 品,Ethtec 工艺的商业化仍然可实现。因此在此例中,存在很多潜在结果,比如从乙醇/木糖醇的产量(仍然可以对应到基 本情况或上涨情况中的每种情况)和/或定价,以及其它产品的商业化,如木糖醇,生物塑料等。因为我们没有特别考虑其 他可能影响现有技术商业化(可能会有一个更低可寻址市场和/或利润率)的产品或市场,因此我们已在经评估的专利费率 中含蓄地反映了这点。所以就这个设想来说,尽管有更高的工厂运营成本,也暗暗地降低了 Ethtec 的版税收入,我们假设 产量与基本情况相似。在反映这些因素的方案中,应用了较低的专利使用费费率[2.0%]到[3.0%]。 The aboveassumptions generatethe followingprojectedfree cashflows usingthelowerroyaltyrate of2.0%: 在使用较低专利使用费费率 2.0%的情况下,上述假设会产生下述预期的自由现金流。 Freecashflows 自由现 金流量($'000) 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 -5,000 -10,000 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 2035 2036 2037 2038 2039 2040 2041 2042 These cashflowprojections produceanenterprisevalue of $12.3 million to$19.9 millionapplying a discount rateof20.0%. 在贴现率为 20.0%的情况下,基于这些现金流预测,企业价值估计为 1,230 万美元至 1,990 万美元。 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 30of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes Valuation of Ethtec Ethtec 资产评估 9.4 Failure case The final scenariowhichwe haveincludedinouranalysisaccountsfor the failureof theprojecttoreach commercialisation stage.

As such,we consider this scenariolesslikelythan thebase casebutmorelikelythan the failure case 基于与 Ethtec 管理的讨论,我们认为商业规模测试的生产 效率要低于整个 Ethtec 工艺的生产效率,Ethtec 工艺在商业上被认为是不可行的。因此, 我们认为这种情况比基本情况更少,但比失败案例可能性却更大。 Failure case Given the current stageof the project, thelowremainingtechnical 5% (6,530) (6,530) risks,theongoing ARENA funding applicationand interest from otherinvestors, this scenario appearstobe reasonablyunlikely。 考虑到项目当前阶段的现状、遗留的技术方面的低风险、阿瑞娜(ARENA)正在审核的融资申请, 以及其他投资者的利益,这个方案似乎不太可能发生。下表格详细描述了每个所选的概率值以及 每个方案评估值的假设。 Probabilityweightedvalue 概率加权值 47,475 56,821 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 32of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes Valuation of Ethtec Ethtec 资产评估 10.3 Conclusion 结论 Assessedvalue 估定价值($'000) Low 低 High 高 Probabilityweightedvalue 概率加权值 [47,475] [56,821] Assessedvalue 估定价值 [50,000] [60,000] In selectingour assessedvaluation rangewehave considered theprobabilityweightingsabove aswellas: 在选择我们的评估范围时,我们不仅考虑了上述加权值,还考虑了以下几点: ◆ The potentialforfurther developmentand commercialisationoftheDiesehol technology.

Fair market value isdefinedinthe International Glossaryof BusinessValuation Termsas: 我们对这个观点所采用价值标准是公平市价。公平市价在国际商业估价术语表中定义如下: “theprice, expressed intermsofcashequivalents,at which propertywould changehandsbetween ahypothetical willing andablebuyer and ahypotheticalwilling andable seller, actingat armslength inanopenandunrestricted market, whenneither isundercompulsiontobuyor sell andwhenbothhave reasonable knowledgeof therelevantfacts.” “用现金等价物表示的价格,若存在购买意向和有能力的买家,以及酷游售卖意向的买家,当双方都不是强制购买或售 卖且都对相关事实有合理了解之时,那么资产会在一个开放而不受限制的市场上在上述两者间以这样的价格易手。” There arefour separate standardsof valuethatcanbeappliedwhen preparingavaluation. These standardsare summarised belowandexplained indetailfurther down. 在准备估值时,有四个单独的价值标准可以应用。将在在下文总结并详细解释这些标准。 Fair value-canbe defineddifferentlydependingon the context of the valuation. TheInternational ValuationsStandards define fair value as"the estimated priceforthetransferof anassetor liability betweenidentified knowledgeableand willingparties that reflects therespective interestsofthoseparties." This is somewhatdifferent to thedefinition usedfor financial reporting, which isdiscussed further below. 公允价值-根据估值不同背景,可以有不同的定义。国际估价标准将公允价值定义为:“一项财产的估算换手价格,或在已 知、事实有清晰了解且有意愿的买卖双方之间、能反映当事人各自利益的责任。”该定义与用于财务报告中的公允价值定 义有些不同,将在下面进一步讨论。 Marketvalue- is generallyusedfortaxationpurposesand referstothe pricenegotiatedin anunrestricted marketbetween a knowledgeableandwilling buyer and seller inan arm'slengthtransaction. 市价-一般是课税用,并且指的是在不受限制的市场上,对事实有清晰了解且有意愿的买卖双方之间所议定的价格。 Fairmarket value- is asdefinedaboveand isusuallyusedforvaluationswhereneither oftwodefinitionsareaboveare required tobe applied. We consider thedefinition of fairmarket valueto be consistentwithboththe AASB 13 definitionoffairvalueand thedefinition of marketvaluefortaxationpurposes. 公平市价-如上文定义的,并通常用于某些估价,也就是当要求不适用以上两种定义的情况下。我们认为:公平市价的定义 是与 AASB13 中定义的公平价值以及税收目的而定义的市价是一致的。 Special Value - is onlyappliedwhen theasset isofparticular valueto a specificpurchaserbecauseof advantagesofownership that would not beavailable toother buyers. 特别价值-只有当资产对于特定的买方具有特殊价值的时候才适用,而此类买方的购买原因是存在对其它买方不可用的 所有权优势。 FinancialReporting 财务报表 Australian AccountingStandard AASB 13 Fair ValueMeasurement was introducedinSeptember 2011 andappliesto entities includingthose requiredbytheCorporationsAct2001to preparefinancialreports.Theobjective of the standard was todefineand setout a singleframework for measuringfair value.

Specialvalue isdefinedbythe International Valuation Standards Councilas: 特殊价值指的是特定购买者愿意支付超过市场价值的金额。由于潜在的规模经济、竞争减少或由于资产兼并而产生的其他 协同效应,这些特定的购买者可能愿意支付高于公平市价的溢价。国际估值标准委员会对特别价值的定义如下。 "An amount thatreflectsparticularattributesofanassetthat are onlyofvalueto a specialpurchaser." “反映仅对特殊购买者具有价值的资产的特定特定的金额。” The AustralianTaxOffice ‘Market Valuation Guidefor TaxPurposes’providesadditional guidancefor the concept ofSpecial Value: 澳大利亚税务办公室“税务市场估价指南”为特别价值的概念给出了补充: "Itis sometimesargued that anasset has special valueto a particular buyer. Usually thisisnotrelevant inderivinga marketvalue. Wherethere is clear evidence that the special value is knownoravailabletothewidermarket, this would bereflected inan objective valuation of theasset." “人们有时候还在争辩:资产对特定购买者具有特殊价值。通常这与衍生出的市场价值无关。如果有明确的证据表明特 殊价值是已知的,或者可以在更广泛的市场上使用,那么在资产的客观估值上就能反映出特殊价值。” "However,evenwherethe seller knowsthat you valuetheitemina specialway,thisusuallyonly meansthat theitem will sell(andthe market valuewillbe)at thehigher end of theusual market valuerange.

These levelsarehighlighted inthediagram below. It is important tobe awareofthe levelofvaluedeterminedbyanyvaluation techniqueandto ensurethatit is consistentwiththe subject of the valuation.当对一个 公司评估时,根据所选方法和应用的假设,可以确定不同的价值水平概念。下图重点显示了这些水平。意识到任何估值技 术所决定的价值水平,并确保它与估值目标是一致的,这很重要的。 SpecialValue 特殊价值 DCF(with synergies) DFC(具有协同效应) Synergy benefits 协同效益 ControlValue 对照价值 DCF;CFME (takeovermultiples);NetAssets DCF;CFME(收购倍数;净资产) Minority discount Control premium 少数股权贴现 对照溢价 LiquidMinorityValue 流动 CFME (tradingmultiples)CFME(交易倍数) 性少数股权价值 Discountforlackofmarketability 缺 乏市场流通性的贴现 IlliquidMinorityvalue 动性 DCF(usingprojecteddividends) 少数股权价值 DCF(使用预期股息) The keydifferences betweentheselevels of valueare the controlpremium andthediscountfor lackof marketability. The opposite of a control premiumisa minoritydiscount (also known asadiscountfor lackof control). 这些价值水平之间的关键区别在于控制权溢价以及缺乏市场性的折扣。控制溢价权的对立面是少数折扣(也被称为缺乏控制 折扣)。 Each of theselevels of valueandthe valuationtechniquesforderivingthemarediscussed below. It isalsopossibleto determine thevalue at anyofthelevels bystartingatadifferent level of value andthenapplying therelevant discounts and/orpremiumstoobtainthe requiredlevelof value. For example, an illiquid minorityvalue could bedeterminedby using adiscounted cash flowmethodto determinea control valueandthen deductinganappropriate minoritydiscountand adiscountfor lack of marketability. 下面将讨论每个价值水平以及产生这些价值水平的评估技术。还可以从不同的值开始,再使用相关的折扣和/或一家来获 得所需的价值水平,从而确定任何的价值水平。比如,通过使用贴现现金流方法确定一个对照值,然后扣除适当的少数 股权贴现折和因缺乏市场性的贴现,来确定非流动性的少数股权的价值。 SpecialValue 特别价值 The highest levelof value isreferredtoas special value. Thisis thevalueof a companytoaparticular purchaser, where thatpurchaser is abletoenjoybenefitsof owning the companythat arenotavailabletootherpotentialowners. Special value isnot typicallyobservedasabuyerwouldnot benefit its own shareholdersifit paidthefull amount of specialvalue in atransaction. However,in contested takeover situations transactionsoften takeplace at a pricethatishigherthanthe stand- alone controlvalue, meaning thevalueofsome synergiesispaid bythebiddertothetarget's shareholders. The definitions of Fair Market Value specificallyexcludes anyspecialvalue. 最高水平的价值被称为特殊价值。特殊价值是一个公司给特定购买者的价值,在该价值下,购买者可以享受其它潜在所有 者无法使用的公司利益。当买方在一笔交易中支付了全部的特殊价值后,买方不是自己的股东受益,这样通常不会观察到 特殊价值。然而,在有争议的收购中,交易通常以高于独立控制价值的价格进行,这意味投标者向目标股东支付了一些协 同效应的价值。公平市场价值的定义不包括任何特殊价值。 Special value canbeestimatedusing adiscounted cashflowanalysis. Thisanalysiswouldinclude theexpected synergy 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 39of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes 草案用于讨论之目的 benefits in the forecast cash flows. 特殊价值可通过使用贴现现金流分析来估算。该分析将包括预期现金流中的预期协同效益。 ControlValue 对照值 The next level of valueis the stand-alone controlvalue. Thisrepresentsthe valueofthewholeofanentity, withoutconsidering anypotential synergybenefits. Thebenefits of controllingan enterprisearediscussed further in ControlPremiums. A control value canbedetermined usingoneof the followingapproaches: 下价值的一个水平是独立控制值。这代表了整个实体的价值,没有考虑任何潜在的协同效益。在控制保费方面,还讨 论了控制企业的好处。控制值可以使用下属的一个方法确定: ◆ Discounted cashflow(using free cashflowtothebusiness or toequity)贴现现金流量 (将自由现金流应用到业务或股权中) ◆ Capitalisation ofearnings, using multiplesforcomparabletransactions 资本收益,利用进行可比交易的市盈率 ◆ Capitalisation of earnings,using multiplesderived fromfirstprinciples(analogousto adiscounted cashflow) 资本收益, 使用由第一条而来的市盈率(类似于贴现现金流)的资本收益 ◆ Anet asset basedapproach 基于净资产的方法 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 40of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes 草案用于讨论之目的 Valuation of Ethtec Ethtec 资产评估 Itispossible that transactionsinvolving comparableentities include someelementof payment forsynergies. Thususing multiples determinedbythis method mayprovideavaluation that ishigherthana stand-alone controlvalue. It is therefore necessaryto consider the natureof the buyer and thedetailsofthetransaction beforeaccepting a comparable transaction asevidence of a controlvalue. 涉及可比交易的实体很可能包含一些协同效应的因素。因此,使用该方法所确定的倍数可以提供高于独立控制值的估值。 Liquid Minority Value 流动的少数股权价值 This isthe mostfrequentlyobservedlevel of valueas it is consistentwith market trading onpublicexchanges. It canbe determined directlybytheapplication of the capitalisationof maintainable earnings, where the multiple usedis determined basedon marketpricesof comparable companies. 这是最常见的价值水平,因为就在公开交易而言,它与市场交易是一致的。它可由可维护性收益的资本化直接决定,其中 使用的倍数是根据可比公司的市价决定的。 Illiquid MinorityValue 非流动的少数股权价值 This representsa minorityholdingin aprivate company. Sucha stake can bedifficult to sellandoften offerslittleability to influencetheoperations of thebusiness. Thislevel of valueis mostlycommonlyestimated byreferenceto ahigher level of valueand theapplicationofdiscounts. However,it canbe estimateddirectlyeitherbyconsidering comparable transactions involving similar assets or theapplication of adiscounted cash flowanalysisbased on expected cashflows to the minorityowner. In some casesthe shareholders'agreementcanrestrict the transfer and sale of shares tothird parties whichincreases theapplicablediscount. 这代表了一家私人公司的少数股权。这样的股份很难出售,而且通常对业务的影响乏力。通常通过参考较高的价值水平以 及所用的折扣来估计这种价值水平。但是,它也可通过考虑到类似交易所涉及的类似资产,或基于少数股东预期现金流的 贴现现金流分析来直接估算。在某些情况下,股东协议可限制将股份转让或出售给第三方,因为这会增加了可用的折扣。 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 41of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes 草案用于讨论之目的 Valuation of Ethtec Ethtec 资产评估 Appendix4:Valuation Approaches 附件 4 估值方法 Introduction 介绍 In preparingthisreport we have considered severalvaluationapproaches and methods.

Examplesof anincome approach are: 通过将未来的现金流转换为单一的资本值,从而提供的价值指示。收入方法的示例如下: ◆ The discounted cash flowmethod 现金流量贴现法 ◆ The capitalisationofearnings method(using a multiplederived fromfirst principles) 收益法的资本化(使用来自第一个原则的倍数) Market Approach 市场方法 Provides anindicationofvaluebycomparing the subject assetwithidenticalor similarassetsfor which priceinformation is available. The main examplesof the marketapproachare: 通过将资产与能使价格信息可用给的相同或类似资产进行比较,从而提供的价值指示。 ◆ The guidelinepublic companymethod 指导上市公司的方法 ◆ The merger andacquisition method 并购方法 ◆ Analysis of recenttrading 近期交易分析 ◆ Industryrules of thumb 行业经验法则 The first two methodsare anapplication of the capitalisationofearnings method. 前两种方法是收益法资本化的一个应用。 Asset/CostApproach 资产/成本方法 Provides anindicationof value usingtheeconomicprinciple that abuyer will payno moreforanasset thanthe cost to obtain anassetof equal utility, whetherbypurchase or construction. 在获得(无论是购买还是建设)同等效用的资产时,买方将不再为资产支付超出成本的费用,基于这一经济原理所提供的一个 价值指导。 Discounted Cash FlowMethod 现金流贴现 Description 描述 Ofthevarious methodsnoted above, the discounted cash flowmethodhas the strongesttheoretical standing.

For afinite lifeproject orasset thiswouldneed tobedone for thelife of the project. This canbea difficult exerciserequiring a significant numberof assumptions suchasrevenue growth, future margins,capital expenditurerequirements,working capital movements andtaxation. 很有必要计划一段适当的时间内(一般认为是至少 5 年)的现金流,以实现净现金流。对于有限生命周期的项目或资产,这需 要在项目的生命周期内完成。这可能是一项苦难的活动,需要大量的假设,比如收入增长、未来利润率、资本支出要求、 营运资本的流动以及税收。 The discount rateused representstherisk of achievingthe projectedfuture cash flowsandthe timevalueofmoney. The projected future cash flowsarethen valuedin current dayterms usingthe discount rate selected. 贴现率常用来表示实现预期未来现金流和货币时间价值的风险。然后基于当天的值,用所选的贴现率计算未来现金流。 Aterminalvaluereflects thevalueofcashflowsthatwillarisebeyond theexplicit forecastperiod.

This methodologyisgenerallyconsidered a short formof adiscounted cash flow, wherea single representativeearnings figure is capitalised,rather thana streamofindividual cashflows beingdiscounted. The capitalisation of earnings methodologyinvolves the determinationof: 收益资本化法是一种常用的估值方法,包括确定企业未来可维护性盈利的数据,并将该数字乘以一个适当的资本化倍数。 这种方法常被认为是贴现现金流的一种短期形式,在这种情况下,单一的有代表性的盈利数据是资本化的,而不是一股被 贴现的个人现金流。收益方法的资本化包括确定: ◆ Aleveloffuture maintainableearnings 未来可维持收入的水平 ◆ An appropriate capitalisation rateormultiple 一个恰当的资本额或倍数 Future maintainable earnings 未来可维护的收益 Anyof thefollowing measuresof earnings can beused: 下述任何一项收入指标都可以被使用: Revenue - mostlyusedforcompaniesthat donot make apositiveEBITDA orasa cross-checkofavaluation conclusion derived usinganothermethod. 收益-主要用于不构成积极 EBITDA 的公司,或是使用了另一种方法估从而的到估值结论的反复核对的公司。 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 44of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes 草案用于讨论之目的 EBITDA- mostappropriatewheredepreciation distortsearnings, forexampleina companythathasa significantlevelofdepreciating assets but little ongoing capitalexpenditure requirement.

EBIT– EBITA 倍数方法虽然实践中常常使用,但它通常更可靠,因为它没有分歧偿还的影响,而分歧偿还是一个非现金的 会计入口,不反映未来资本投资的需求(不像折旧)。 NPAT- relevant in valuingbusinesseswhereinterestisa majorpart of theoverall earningsof thegroup (e.g. financial services businesses suchasbanks). NPAT-在利益是集团整体盈利的主要部分(如银行等金融服务业务)的价值方面的相关。 Multiples of EBITDA, EBITAandEBITare commonlyusedtovalue wholebusinessesfor acquisition purposeswhere gearing isin the control of theacquirer. In contrast, NPAT(or P/E) multiples areoftenused for valuing minorityinterests in a companyas theinvestor hasno controlover thelevel of debt. EBITDA、EBITA 和 EBIT 的倍数通常被用来进行收购为目的的整个企业评估,即杠杆在收购方的控制下。相比之下, NPAT(或 P / E)倍数通常被用来评估公司的少数股权,因为投资者对债务水平是无法控制的。 Anormalisedlevelof maintainable earningsneeds tobe determinedfor the selected earnings measure.Thisexcludes the impact of anygainsor lossesthatarenot expected torecur andallows for thefull year impact of anychanges(such as acquisitionsor disposals) made part waythrougha givenfinancialyear. 为了确定所选的收益指标,则需要确定可维护性收益的正常水平。这排除了未预料的、再次发生的任何收益或损失带来的 影响,并考虑到在给定财年还未结束时,存在任何对全年产生影响的变化(如收购或资产处置)。 4957 EthtecValuation (draft) 21022017 Page 45of59 Draft forDiscussionPurposes 草案用于讨论之目的 Valuation of Ethtec Ethtec 资产评估 Selectedmultiple 选择的倍数 The multiple selected toapplyto maintainable earningsreflects expectationsaboutfuturegrowth,riskand thetimevalue ofmoneyallwrappedupin a singlenumber.

It is particularlyappropriateforvaluing companieswitha relativelystablehistorical earningspatternwhich isexpectedto continue. The methodisless appropriatefor valuing companies or assets if: 收益资本化方法在实践中应用广泛。尤为适用于估值相对稳定、具有相对稳定的历史收益模式的企业,同时预计这种模式还将 持续下去。这种方法在评估公司或资产时不太合适,若: ◆ There areno(or veryfew) suitablelisted companyor transactionbenchmarksfor comparison 不存在(或很少)合适的上市公司或交易基准用于比较 ◆ The asset hasa limitedlife 资产的寿命有限 ◆ Future earningsor cash flowsareexpectedto bevolatile 预计未来收益或现金流会存在波动 ◆ There arenegativeearnings or theearningsofabusinessare insufficient to justifya valueexceedingtheunderlying netassets 存在负面收益,或企业的收益不足以证明超过潜在净资产的价值。 ◆ Working capitalrequirements arenot expected toremain stable 期望经营资本要求不是一成不变的 AssetorCostApproach 资产或成本方法 The asset approachto valueisbased ontheassumptionthatthe current value of allassets (tangibleandintangible) less the current value of theliabilities shouldequate tothe currentvalueoftheentity.
