QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT AND APPENDIX 4C -

NAMOI COTTON LIMITED (ASX: NAM)

Namoi Cotton Limited ('Namoi' or the 'Company') is pleased to provide its Appendix 4C cash flow statement for the quarter ended 30 November 2021 ('Q3-22'), along with the following update.

Business activities in the Third Quarter (Q3-22)

There was no material change in the activities of the Company during Q3-22.

The ginning season is now complete with our ginning volumes reaching 492,989 bales. This is in line with our investor presentation to the market on 29 October 2021 and compares with 124,000 bales last season.

The Company's Q3-22 cashflow covers the beginning of maintenance in preparation for the coming season together with receipts from customers for by-products.

Net cash outflow from operating activities in Q3-22 totalled $9.0 million (Q3-21: net cash inflows $1.9

million). Receipts from customers totalled $59.3 million during Q3-22(Q3-21: $14.4 million) and compare to product manufacturing and operating costs of $64.6 million for the same period (Q3-21: $9.8 million), reflecting increased ginning volumes versus the same period last year.

Staff plus other administration and corporate costs totalled $3.2m in Q3-22(Q3-21: $3.0 million).

Payments to related parties represent payments made to Grower Directors for the supply of cotton lint, by-products, and services less the cost of ginning cotton. These payments are included within product manufacturing and operating costs and were made in the ordinary course of business.

Material Developments

The Company released its Half Year Report and Accounts, together with an Investor Presentation on 29 October 2021 in which it announced:

  • the outlook for Australian cotton production to be 4.6m bales1 for the 2022 season;
  • renewal and expansion of the Company's debt facilities to 31 October 2024; and
  • a continuation in the Company's 4PP Strategy and gin-ready program.

Cotton growing areas in NSW and QLD have experienced flooding in November and December which may result in a loss of crops in areas that do not have the protection of levees and may result in a revision in early 2022 to the forecast Australian cotton production for the 2022 season.
