TE TĪMATANGA INTRODUCTION FROM THE CHAIR

"...what sets the Āti Hau Group apart is our perpetual commitment to grow and nurture the legacy left to us by our tupuna." As Chair of the Committee of Management of Ātihau-Whanganui Incorporation, it is a pleasure to present our Annual Report for the financial year from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023. This Annual Report is the first for the Āti Hau Group, which is the Ātihau-Whanganui Incorporation, Te Āti Hau Trust and the ĀtihauWhanganui Incorporation Forestry Trust combined. The Group was created as an extension of the “One Farm” approach we moved to 15 years ago in order to work in a collective and organised way toward a single, shared purpose: Toitū te whenua, toitū te tangata, toitū te mana. It has been a year of significant challenge and change for the Group, as we adapt to the cost of living crisis and the global economic downturn that continues to affect many of our trading partners. These impacts are reflected in our results this year. We are not alone in facing these challenges – every primary sector business in the country is in a similar position. But what sets the Āti Hau Group apart is our perpetual commitment to grow and nurture the legacy left to us by our tupuna.

Board members

Strategic intentions

Investments / asset sales

In December 2022, we farewelled Mavis Mullins after 15 years of service to the Committee of Management from 2007 to 2022, seven of those – from 2014-2021 – as chair.

Your board and executive management have developed a refreshed strategy for the Āti Hau Group reaffirming purpose, values and goals and identifying seven priorities for the Group to work on over the next 10 years.

We capitalised on the Government’s Fixed Price Option (FPO) to create an early emissions return opportunity, releasing from the emissions trading scheme some carbon from Papahaua Forest and reinvesting the surplus funds back into the whenua.

We also farewelled Joe Hanita and David Nelson, who provided leadership as independent members on the Audit & Risk Committee and Farm & Environment Committee respectively. Following the 2022 hui ā-tau, we welcomed Sarah Bell to the Committee of Management, along with two new Associate Directors, Jason Ashford and Charles Chadwick. We also welcomed Pania Winterburn as an independent member of our Audit & Risk Committee. A list of changes for Te Āti Hau Trust is summarised on page 52.

We have been deliberate in our choices and will be focussed on delivering the greatest impact within a complex and challenging environment. More detail on where we will be focussing strategically over the near term is included in the Outlook section on page 29. Ahu whenua – farm, apiary, forestry A wet summer provided good conditions for farming but made honey production on the whenua challenging. Difficult economic conditions were met with a focus on our priorities, prudently managing spend and delivering greater value.

Taiao and climate change A highlight of the year has been our achievement in reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. We have reduced emissions by 2.2% percent, working to finish cattle earlier and complete land use changes. This year we have taken the first steps to incorporate an environmental tool “the Mauri Compass” into our environmental initiatives across the whenua. Our initial work has been to understand and learn how to use the tool to monitor water quality.

"We have been deliberate in our choices and will be focussed on delivering the greatest impact within a complex and challenging environment."

Our people Rolling out our Āti Hau Group values framework, the Āti Hau Way, has been a significant focus over the year. Our people leaders have also undertaken an extensive programme of leadership development. Over the past two years, the Trust has been working to support and build a greater relationship with marae. A significant focus has been connecting with all 47 marae in the rohe and providing a one off Awhi marae grant of $3,000. The aim in the future is to continue this kaupapa by providing our marae putea every three years, along side the infrastructure grants available. An important decision made by the board this year was to review the Awhiwhenua cadet programme with the aim of developing an onthe-job training programme. Financial Performance This year the Āti Hau Group has returned a net loss after tax of $6.7 million (2022: $1.2 million net surplus). The Group has contributed to a shareholder net equity position of $293.0 million, up $60.5 million from $232.5 million last year.

"We must not stand still and miss the opportunities presented by the times to review and strengthen each part of our business operations."

An operating loss of $0.8 million was also reported, which led to a recommendation by the Board of a $0.80 per share dividend distribution and no distribution to the Te Āti Hau Trust due to sufficient cash reserves within the Trust. Future challenges Over the coming 12 months we are expecting continued inflation, high interest rates and suppressed pricing on some of our products. The economic outlook for the next two years is one of slow recovery. Despite this outlook we remain steadfast, focused on delivering our refreshed strategic intentions and those priorities which will help us to deliver our purpose. We must not stand still and miss the opportunities presented by the times to review and strengthen each part of our business operations. We will continue to make each necessary adjustment and to be more resilient, while keeping an eye on the need to prepare for and invest in our future together. Acknowledgements After another challenging year, I want to take this opportunity to recognise the commitment and hard work of our chief executive, Andrew Beijemen, together with his senior

leadership team and our kaimahi on the ground across the motu. I would also like to acknowledge my fellow board members for their tautoko and dedication in helping to drive this organisation to greater success and ever-improving outcomes for our shareholders, our whānau whānui, our communities and our whenua. Finally, my sincere thanks to you, our shareholder whānau, for your

tautoko and manaaki as we work collectively to build upon the legacy left to us by our old people. Tēnā tātou. Mauri ora.

WHAKAMAHI RAUTAKI OUR PURPOSE IN ACTION

“Our purpose, our legacy is to look after nature so nature can look after us.”

This section of the Annual Report is strategically focused and future oriented. It highlights the value the Āti Hau Group places on the taiao, our people, and how our tikanga and the way we work can help us farm better. It focuses on how we create value through relationships with others, extending beyond merely preserving or preventing the erosion of the values on which we base our business. This section provides an organisational overview, setting the context in which Ātihau operates, including external factors such as economic conditions, the global pandemic and climate change. It reports on how governance is supporting Ātihau to create value and details our strategy and resources before, finally, examining the risks and opportunities of the year ahead.

Key Strategic Projects

Hyperspectral mapping In the winter and spring of 2022, hyperspectral imaging was completed at Waipuna, Te Paenga and Papahaua Stations in conjunction with Ravensdown and Hyperceptions. The agricultural mapping model has been researched, tested and developed at Ohorea and other farms over the past 10 years. The technology is used for precise farm analysis. Using a plane with a hyperspectral imaging camera to capture data, the technology produces a profile of the whenua providing information such as soil fertility, ground cover (mānuka, pasture, or other native bush) and potential productivity. This type of analysis will be significant for the future good management of our farms and their performance. For example, measuring and locating all stands of mānuka will enable Ātihau to stock hives appropriately for the area and manage mānuka into the future. In addition, having more accurate farm areas will help ensure we are feeding stock correctly. Initial analysis has been undertaken on all the farms to measure and map pasture, mānuka, scrub, bush and the effective area of each farm, supporting us to grow ahu whenua performance. Further analysis will happen as funds allow to better understand soil fertility and other data. 18

"Initial analysis has been undertaken on all the farms to measure and map pasture, mānuka, scrub, bush and the effective area of each farm, supporting us to grow ahu whenua performance."

Creating a sustainable honey business mapping We received Ministry for Primary Industries funding under the Sustainable Food and Fibres (SFF) Futures programme. This funding was to investigate how our mānuka resource can best be managed in the long-term. Mānuka is a primary plant which colonises an area, allowing for other plants to establish. This secondary growth eventually overtakes and eliminates the mānuka. To maintain an intergenerational mānuka business, our resource will need to be

managed as a crop, if left alone, the mānuka will disappear. The SFF Futures programme will also consider how to minimise the reliance on sugar which is used as feed in winter and spring by using the nectar of other flowering species. However, it may be challenging to eliminate sugar feed altogether in our climate. During the last year, the research monitored flowering at Papahaua to understand the nectar profile of the

area. The next step is to model this and identify what other plantings are required to reduce reliance on sugar feed and lower apiary business costs. The research opens the way for potentially planting specific species in specific places for flowering and nectar, and for targeted management of pests such as possums and deer.

Key Strategic Projects

Exploring diversified investment opportunities Wind power An initial exploration of the potential for wind farming on our whenua was made at Tawanui Station, using a LiDAR system for measuring air speeds. Analysis based on current pricing for power showed the wind speed was not sufficient to justify further exploration of wind power at Tawanui Station at this stage. Investigations into wind farming potential have therefore been put on hold for now. Other sites with stronger wind may be explored in the future, and discussions about Tawanui could re-open if the right partners are identified.

Forestry Work on planting new forest at Waipuna Station has begun, with preparation completed and planting scheduled. The new forest is being grown for carbon and rotational timber as part of our land use change programme, this is in line with our Statement of Investment Policy and Objectives (SIPO). The Waipuna Forest is the first tract of 1400 hectares of new forestry set to be planted across the breeding farms during the next five years as we look to make wise use of our resources, and to support future diversification towards income assets. The pines are being planted in areas that can be harvested. 20

Some of the carbon generated from the new forestry will be sold over the next 10 to 20 years, creating a source of funds that will be invested off-farm into cash-generating assets – an important part of rebalancing our asset base and delivering greater cash returns. At this stage, no perpetual forest is being planted but this could be considered in the future, depending on how far the carbon market develops over the next three years following the central government consultation in 2023.

"The Waipuna forest is the first tract of 1400 hectares of new forestry set to be planted across the breeding farms during the next five years as we look to make wise use of our resources, and to support future diversification towards income assets."

Release of carbon The Government’s Fixed Price Option (FPO) announced two years ago created an early emissions return opportunity. To capitalise on this opportunity, an internal forestry trust was established and we removed some of the 400 hectares of Papahaua Forest from the emissions trading scheme. The above exercise resulted in a surplus of 77,000 obligation-free carbon credits. Some were sold and the surplus reinvested into the whenua to continue priority work required to lift the farms’ performance. About 30,000 credits remain to be released at a later stage.

Tourism There has been further investigation into the opportunity for tourism. We have developed a business case and we know that a farm walk and hunting operation across our whenua would be profitable and help to create opportunities for uri. Work will be done over the coming years to define the business case further and identify investment partners. Applications for funding support to establish a tourism venture are in progress.

Key Strategic Projects

Awhiwhenua Apprenticeship Programme A review of the Awhiwhenua Cadet Programme has resulted in a decision by the Board not to continue the scheme in its current form for the 2024 calendar year. Some of the challenges identified included higher costs relative to the number of cadets transitioning into fulltime employment. The programme will be paused while decisions are made about how it can be redeveloped to deliver on-the-job training programme and better value for money. The aim is to find a solution that continues to develop kaimahi for the farms and opportunities for rangatahi and uri on the whenua.

Responding to the survey: He aha ōu whakaaro mō te koporeihana o Ātihau-Whanganui? The staff engagement survey, carried out in the previous year, focused our efforts on responding to the feedback from our kaimahi as we look to ensure staff are fully engaged and thriving. As a result, salaries have this year have been benchmarked externally to ensure we are paying fairly. We have also concentrated on increasing connection between the various teams across the Group. This has included meeting socially to

create more connections within and between teams, and spending more time aligning our team goals and how we measure success. The leaders of all teams, including the senior leadership team, have undertaken extensive leadership training. The training has included leaders completing personality tests and working through an externally facilitated programme of leadership development.

"The staff engagement survey, carried out in the previous financial year, focused our efforts on responding to the feedback from our kaimahi as we look to ensure staff are fully engaged and thriving."

Kaimahi housing An audit of kaimahi housing was completed as part of the Taiao programme requirement to bring all of our houses up to standard.

The first stage has involved an audit against the Healthy Homes New Zealand standard and any weathertightness issues.

We have more than 40 houses, and while these were all insulated more than a decade ago some now require re-insulation.

The focus for the year ahead is to bring insulation, ventilation and heating up to Healthy Homes standard.

Key Strategic Projects

Honey supply agreement We have been working this year to develop long-term supply agreements with industry partners for our honey. The year has focussed on exploring new relationships with potential buyers, building on existing relationships, and securing potential sales through some long-term suppliers. The development of a long-term supply agreement with our main honey buyer, Manukora, will see us committed to selling honey to Manukora every year at a fair price, and a corresponding commitment from Manukora to purchase honey. This is an exciting, high-value partnership in development. It is focussed not only on a commercial relationship but a partnership

approach which includes an interest in how the bees are cared for, and working together for the betterment of both parties, Manukora and Ātihau. An immediate benefit of the developing partnership was the purchase by Manukora of all our stockpiled 2019, 2020 and 2021 honey at book value. This leaves honey stores in a good position, with stocks from this year and last year only – none older than 18 months. This year's discussions have identified other potential strategic partners, and growing these relationships may eventuate in further long term supply agreements.

Winding down direct-to-market sales channels Direct-to-market sales of Ātihau meat and honey products are being wound down this year. The decision to withdraw Ruapehu Angus and Awhi Honey from direct sales reflects escalating cost-ofliving pressures on consumers and ongoing cost pressure on the business. Domestic sales of Ruapehu Angus, supplied to New Zealand’s

hospitality industry through our partner Foodchain, could not compete with the prices our processing partners were able to generate in international markets. In contrast, the cost of securing sales through online advertising made the sale of Awhi Honey through Amazon unprofitable.

"This year's discussions have identified other potential strategic partners, and growing these relationships may eventuate in further long term supply agreements."

Taiao Workplan A significant workstream this year has centred on the Mauri Compass framework, an environmental assessment tool for measuring the quality of our waterways. The Mauri Compass incorporates both mātauranga Māori and western science.

state of the waterways. The measurements include a range of indicators such as water quality, tuna and kōura populations, other life in the stream and an assessment of cultural indicators. Capturing baseline data is expected to be a three-year project.

Mauri Compass co-designer Ian Ruru has been training our staff to apply the cultural monitoring tool to waterways at Waipuna and Te Pā Stations. The initial focus is learning how to use the Mauri Compass effectively before eventually rolling the programme out across other catchments.

The work is being led by our Taiao Manager Courtney Haywood with designated staff at Waipuna and Te Pā Stations responsible for water quality monitoring at their properties, including counting and weighing tuna and kōura. Engaging our farm staff in this way is already leading to new thinking about how changes in practice could improve water quality and habitat.

At the same time, the team has started to use the Mauri Compass to gather baseline data that will present a picture of the current

The next 12 months will refine the use of the Mauri Compass on the

Waipuna and Te Pā Stations. The tool is expected to be rolled out to other catchments over four years.

Efforts ramp up to reduce greenhouse gas emissions We have been successful in our efforts over the past 12 months to accelerate the rate of cattle finishing to avoid wintering cattle for their third year. A concerted effort by our finishing farms means we will end the year in review with only 200 cattle wintering over for a third year compared to 800 the previous year. Getting this age group off our finishing farms earlier will reduce our

methane gas emissions by a very significant 5%. This approach will also make parts of our finishing farms available for alternative uses. With funding from the Ministry of Primary Industries, a consultancy group was engaged to consider alternative land use. After an extensive search, two options recommended were wheat and barley cropping.

A small trial of barley will be planted next year. Although it provides lower return than wheat, barley grows faster and therefore carries less risk. Wheat may be trialed the following year. The cropping trial will focus on feed grain, potentially saving on the cost of grain we buy in for feeding on the dairy farm.

WHAKATUTUKITANGA MAHI OUR PERFORMANCE

"We have responded to significant climate and economic challenges this year, focusing on our priorities, prudently managing spend and delivering greater value." The climatic impact on our sheep and beef farming was positive overall. Spring was very wet, which meant production was slow to get started but this was compensated for by favourable conditions for good grass growth through summer, resulting in pleasing sheep and beef production. The farms were able to keep stock on to add weight and carried more feed into the winter than usual. In comparison, our apiary business struggled compared to previous seasons, with cold and wet weather giving our bees fewer opportunities to get out and collect honey. As a result, honey production of 60 tonnes was about half that of a normal season. Despite challenging market conditions for honey, we sold all our older honey at valuation, holding honey harvested in 2023 and 2022 in storage. General economic conditions however – including falling commodity prices and significant inflationary pressures – made for a challenging year. The results will reflect that. Revenue fell for our main product lines including honey, lamb and milk, with the exception being beef revenue. We have responded by focusing on our priorities and working to prudently manage costs and deliver greater value.

OUTLOOK FOR NEXT 12 MONTHS

We expect the year ahead to be challenging as we lean into the persisting economic headwinds.

Markets/Pricing We do not anticipate a significant recovery in pricing over the 2023/2024 financial year. Our main international markets remain on a slow recovery path in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, while at home we will continue to be impacted by inflation and high interest rates. As a result, the consumer demand we have previously enjoyed for our product lines has been slow to rally and we are expecting to see suppressed pricing across most of our main sales items. We may see a slight easing in the year ahead as inflation comes down, but pricing is unlikely to recover until the following financial year.

Production Production in the year ahead will track much the same as the year in review. We will deliberately focus efforts on areas that promise immediate returns; this means lifting ahu whenua performance – both farming and apiary – and considering ways to generate additional value within those businesses.

Honey sales We are forecasting an increase in honey sales in 2023/2024 to approximately 60 tonnes or $3.5 million. In addition, a long-term supply agreement with a key trading partner has progressed to deliver us greater value and certainty around our future honey sales.

Forestry

Legislation

Planting will continue at Waipuna next year and we will complete preparations for the remainder of the 1400 hectares of new forestry set to be established over the next three years, subject to obtaining consents.

The government is consulting on the Emissions Trading Scheme and its permanent forestry category and we expect to see some impact on pricing in the year ahead following the deterioration in the carbon price through 2022/2023. We are monitoring developments closely.

We expect to sell 50,000 carbon credits next year to fund capital improvements on the whenua, including the new forestry initiative and farm development.

2023 is an election year and, as always, this creates some uncertainty around likely central government priorities in the coming year. However, there should be some relief for labour shortages in the primary industries if net migration increases, as is forecast.

Strategic Initiatives Outlook

Toitū te whenua Further work will be completed on the programme to investigate how best to manage our mānuka resource into the future. In the year ahead, the first trial work will test the best way to remove existing stands of mānuka to evaluate which method results in better recovery and regrowth. A framework or model for nectar production among non-mānuka species will also be undertaken and the work may be followed by the development of a planting plan.

We have commissioned an independent review of the sheep and beef farms to identify how each farm could potentially be improved, supporting management to identify new opportunities as well as a realistic benchmark for each farm. We will prioritize growing our ahu whenua performance over the next 12 months and progressing our diversification aspirations e.g. tourism, through collaborations and partnerships. Our financial strategy will remain prudently focused on

meeting our treasury requirements, repaying borrowings and securing a cash dividend payment for shareholders in 2023/2024. We will review and prioritize our Taiao work programme. Our aim over the next year is to develop a system for measuring and reporting on the health and wellbeing of te taiao to provide a better understanding for uri and partners. It will take several years to establish a system and build the picture but preliminary work in the year ahead will help shape the direction.

Toitū te tangata The Trust will reach out to whānau with a roadshow during 2024 to understand how to better support hapū, marae and uri. Alongside this work, we also intend to increase the number of whānau-focused events held on the whenua. We will work on delivering business intelligence dashboards to support decision-making across the Group. Our initial focus is providing all levels of the business with better financial information in real-time, as well as integrated information on our apiary business and sheep and beef farming. Over time, the project will grow to support a greater connection for uri to the whenua through online dashboards and information sharing.

Toitū te mana Our plan to improve cultural competency across the Āti Hau Group will be finalised and we will begin to implement this work over the next 12 months, including a way of measuring and reporting improvements in the use of tikanga, tūpuna knowledge and te reo o Whanganui. We will also focus on providing better information about wāhi tapu and wāhi tūpuna across our whenua. We have received funding to identify and record the oral history and location of these special places with the aim of ensuring our significant sites can be protected.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Overall Results & Distributions This year the Āti Hau Group has returned a net loss after tax of $6.7 million (2022: $1.2 million net surplus). The Group has contributed to a shareholder net equity position of $293.0 million, up $60.5 million from $232.5 million last year. An operating loss of $0.8 million was also reported this year, which led to a recommendation by the Board of a $0.80 per share dividend distribution and no distribution to the Te Āti Hau Trust due to sufficient cash reserves within the Trust.

Revenue This year revenue was $22.6 million compared to $26.3m million in 2022. We recognised a loss from the sale of emission trading units of $1.6 million. Carbon credits were sold during the year to fund capital improvements on our whenua helping to generate additional value in the future. Apiary revenue of $3.7 million was down $169,000 on the previous year. Livestock revenue of $15.6 million was on par with last year. Other income of $1.9 million is $0.4 million lower than last year mainly due to fewer forestry logs being harvested.

Expenses and Non-Operating Revaluations We delivered our work programme through operating expenditure of $23.4 million compared to $24.7 million in 2022, a savings of $1.3 million. Farm and apiary expenses of $11.0 million were $2.8 million lower than the prior year due to the impact of poor weather on fertiliser application at some of the stations.

Employee expenses, repairs and maintenance and other expenses of $12.4 million were $1.5 million higher than last year mainly due to inflation. In addition, our costs of finance this year increased by $550,000 to $2.1 million due to higher interest rates. We recognised nonoperating losses of $4.1 million due to changes in the value of livestock. Commodity pricing has been a key challenge this year.

Taxation Income tax losses from current and deferred tax have been recognised in both the current and prior year. We anticipate paying provisional tax next year.

Capital Spend We delivered our capital works programme with capital expenditure of $2.4 million consistent with our planned priorities for farm development, environmental works and staff housing.

Shareholder Equity Total shareholder equity increased $60.5 million, from $232.5 million in 2022 to $293.0 million this year.

Assets Property, plant and equipment increased $79.5 million from $197.6 million to $277.1 million, mainly due to land and buildings being independently revalued to fair value. Emission trading units held at 30 June 2023 were valued at $8.7 million. Revaluations accounted for a decrease in our intangible assets of $15.9 million.

We expect to receive 180,000 units (or $7.5 million) once our early emissions return / forestry right is accepted by central government. We also anticipate a more stable carbon market following the review of the ETS and post central government elections in late 2023.

Liabilities We have a term debt facility of $39.1 million, of which $38.2 million was drawn down as at 30 June 2023 (2022 $37.7 million). We have a seasonal facility of $6.5 million which was not utilised. The value of our stock and biological assets, which is used as security, has reduced in value by $4.3 million to $39.6 million, mainly due to the price of sheep and cattle at the year end. The value of our stock and biological assets exceeds total debt by $1.4 million which means our whenua is protected.

Outlook As we move forward together, we are mindful of the need to repay our principal loans and increase our distributions. These strategic goals will be achieved by continuously improving our ahu whenua performance, diversifying our asset base over time and making wise use of our resources to achieve our purpose. Details of revenue and expenses by business activity are summarised in the following sections of our annual report.

the two farms

The focus of any finishing farm is growing young stock as fast as possible and producing high-quality products – and the team really delivered this season. By selling at a slightly lower weight than usual, the goal of reducing the number of three-year-olds on hand was exceeded with a 72% reduction in the number of older cattle on the farm at the end of the year. The lower weight did not affect the quality of the meat, with more than 90% of animals achieving the required marbling score. The development of the farms was prioritised with subdivision and reticulated water schemes being extended. This has allowed for improved pasture management, resulting in improved weight gain rate in both cattle and lambs.

Finishing rates were high this year with minimal tail end lambs sold store and 80% of two-year-old steers finished before their third winter, with good marble scores achieved. Faster finishing and a good season enabled the purchase of lambs from other Ātihau farms to finish, not a normal Te Pā practice. A total of 180 heifers and 4000 ewe hoggets were mated. The station was also the venue for an Angus Pure field day entitled ‘What’s The Beef?’.

A fenced laneway running alongside Oruakukuru Road up to the woolshed has made it a safer and a more straight-forward task to get the sheep in. Upgrades to the board and catching pens once inside has helped make shearing less arduous. An extension of the water reticulation system to include some of the external lease blocks is also in the works. A total of 1800 ewe hoggets were mated.

staff

An increase in the weaning weights of both lambs and calves was achieved this year and is the result of improved grazing management during the calving and lambing periods. All steer calves were sold at weaning in a change to the farm system to allow for a slight increase in breeding cows and the mating of heifers as yearlings. By selling steer calves early we will be able to priority feed weaner heifers, so they achieve the weights required for mating. Some capital fencing was completed at Te Paenga during the year and the construction of a three-bay shed also started so that farm machinery can be stored under cover.

staff

The cause of high losses during lambing was identified as the presence of toxoplasmosis in the one-year-old (two tooth) ewes, despite a vaccination programme. We are working with the veterinary team to address the issue, the source of which may be a high feral cat population on the station. New pastures delivered improved lamb growth rates, and both the calving percentage and weaning weights also improved. The construction of an on-farm home kill facility was completed to a high standard, achieving compliance with farm assurance auditing standards.

3 Overview

staff

The benefit of fencing off gorges on the property is being realised with recorded stock losses reduced. The amount of grass in designated ‘safe’ paddocks was allowed to build up so cows could calve there, which improved the calving percentage. A big focus this year has been on cost control, with a change in cropping policy reducing the chance of failure. The team installed a reticulated water system on the Tower block instead of contracting the work out, and at the same time subdivided the area into smaller paddocks to improve cattle growth rates on the area. Around 70 hectares of the less productive pasture has been prepared for forestry planting, with more to come.

Overview An extremely wet spring led to badly damaged farm races which caused increased instances of lameness in the herd. Efforts to reduce the Somatic Cell Count (an indicator for mastitis) resulted in a 195,000 average for the season, down from 224,000 the previous year – proof of success. Water quality was improved for both cows and humans, with a change of water source for paddocks, dairy shed and farmhouses. New cattle yards have been constructed in the middle of the farm meaning calving paddocks can be used away from the effluent area and pastures more prone to being water-logged. A new manager’s house was completed and a full complement of six team members saw out the season.

AWHI Miere Overview Honey production across the country was exceptionally low this season, with many beekeepers producing little or no honey due to poor weather in mānuka-producing regions. Although only half of last season’s record mānuka crop was produced, 53 tonnes of mānuka honey and another 10 tonnes of other honey varieties was a good result for the team. Our partners Oha and Central Plateau Honey experienced similar impacts producing 31 tonnes of honey from close to 2,000 external hives on our whenua. While the challenging season saw many beekeepers leave the industry and, combined with the poor crop and falling hive numbers nationally (down by 20% from 2019 to 2022 with another drop likely in the past 12 months), this does help to address the recent oversupply of honey. An expected subsequent rise in demand will mean our stored honey inventories will start to reduce. In addition, a long-term supply agreement with our key trading partner Manukora has progressed to deliver greater value and certainty around our future honey sales. Ongoing issues with pests and disease added to the beekeepers’ challenges. An outbreak of American

Te Hou Farm Overview The purchase of the farm next door to Te Hou Farms and the installation of an underpass has seen the dairy platform increase by 100 hectares. A new shed has also been constructed to reduce milking times and allow the herd to grow to 1600 cows. The blueberry operation on the farm is being wound down after failing to deliver the yields expected, and a small area of forestry will be harvested.

Foulbrood (AFB) brought in with the introduction of new externally sourced colonies added to ongoing issues with varroa mite during the autumn. AFB is a notifiable disease requiring destruction of the hive within seven days. In response, changes have been made to the mite treatment programme and externally sourced colonies will no longer be brought in, reducing the risk of importing disease. We expect to make health and productivity gains from producing our own locally bred Queen bees for the first time this spring, to replace ageing or unhealthy matriarchs. This provides greater control over key determinants of hive health, temperament, and production, as well as reducing costs.

Forestry and Carbon Farming

Overview Timber harvesting at Ohorea was completed, and the land replanted for the next crop. The preparation for new planting at Waipuna was also completed with a resource consent granted and spot spraying done. Work was done to take advantage of a fixed price option within the Emissions Trading Scheme. This required an early emission return to be triggered, filled using a mixture of credits and the fixed price option. Because the carbon price is higher than the fixed price option, this created a surplus of carbon credits which can be sold for a profit. Some carbon credits were sold and the surplus reinvested into the whenua to continue priority work required to lift the farms’ performance. About 30,000 credits remain to be released at a later stage.

Shareholder Engagement Overview In light of the impact pandemic restrictions had on shareholder engagement in the past two years, there was an increase in the number of events this year. Two farm tours were held, visiting Ohotū Station, the Apiary Shed, Hapuawhenua (Dairy Farm) and Tohunga Station. These saw excellent participation and engagement from shareholders and fostered a sense of appreciation and pride in the operation of the farms and apiary businesses. Shareholder Hunts were again popular and every year we get more interest, especially from uri who live afar and want the opportunity to come home and reconnect with the whenua. There was an increase in the number of grants distributed through Te Āti Hau Trust, especially for kaumātua to support them with their wellbeing needs. Supporting our shareholders with share transfers, derivations and dividend information was also a priority this year. 46

Overview Increasing legislation in the environmental space has continued to challenge farm system management and allocation of available budgets. Intensive winter grazing regulations now apply and mean significant efforts in planning for, recording and monitoring the management of crops for both farm staff and management. We employed a summer student to help map intensive winter grazing areas on the stations, making management, consents, and the future Freshwater Farm Plans easier. Also in the compliance space, our emissions auditing has been completed for the 20212022 financial year and emissions monitoring for the 2022-2023 financial year is underway. Healthy homes and general house inspections have been carried out on 98% of our houses, and the allocation of budget and resources for identified repairs and maintenance continues, with upgraded insulation and sufficient heat sources being priorities. Efforts to retire more riparian and bush areas on all stations continue with 2.8 kilometres of new Ngā Whenua Rāhui bush retirement fencing completed on Te Pā Station, and 6.5 kilometres of riparian fencing completed on Te Pā, Te Paenga, Ohorea and Papahaua Stations with support from Horizons Regional Council. A total of 150 poplar poles have been planted for soil conservation on Ohotū and Te Paenga Stations, and 48.2 hectares of mixed native species were planted

at Te Pā. Disappointingly, lower quality seedlings from outside the district and late season frosts have culminated in high mortality, which will need to be addressed. During the summer, we were privileged to have Ian Ruru from Tairāwhiti facilitate a staff workshop on the Mauri Compass framework. This will help guide native freshwater species monitoring and protection across the whenua. We were grateful for funding support from Te Wai Māori Trust. The Mauri Compass wānanga was hosted on Te Pā Station. It was empowering, focused on native species and water quality flowing through some of the more intensively used whenua. Staff from Waipuna and Te Pā Stations have become accredited in the Mauri Compass framework, helping to ensure we continue to adapt, and to care for natural resources as best we can while maintaining productive farm operations. Another outcome in this area has been the start of freshwater species monitoring on Te Pā. As well as the successful funding application from Te Wai Māori Trust, we secured a $130,000 grant from Te Aka Whai Ora for next financial year 2023/2024. This will fund the compilation of wāhi tapu and wāhi tūpuna kōrero, enabling the capture of knowledge for generations to come. An application for funding from Whanganui River Enhancement Trust (WRET) to conduct eDNA testing on Waipuna Station waterways during the 2023-2024 summer was also successful.

People Key Stats

72 staff 40% uri 19.1% turnover

Overview The attraction and retention of staff is currently a challenge throughout the farming industry due to a reduction in the number of people available to work. We are working hard to maintain a full complement of staff, while supporting learning and development pathways and cultural competency. Acting on feedback from the He aha ōu whakaaro mō te koporeihana o Ātihau-Whanganui teams survey, we have actioned extensive leadership training opportunities for our farming teams which has been well received. We have carried out benchmarking to ensure our remuneration levels are in line with

the market. We have also focused on building connections across the different teams and have had positive feedback and spent more time aligning our team goals and how we measure our success across the Group. A focus on contractor engagement and validation has lifted the Health & Safety 365 score to 70, a level we wish to maintain going forward. Clothing to protect our kaimahi from the elements is more sustainably sourced, with an increase in the proportion of woolbased garments to 75% from 60%.

"The Executive Leadership Team acknowledge the hard work of kamahi during the year, both in the work completed during the year, the improvements that have been made which will support us in the future, and for their commitment to the Āti Hau Way – as we work together to achieve the collective aspirations, Āti Hau, mā te rahi Āti hau”

TE ĀTI HAU TRUST CHAIR REPORT

"It has been a busy year where we have continued to support our whānau to reach their potential, so that, in turn, they can help bring vitality and capability to our wider whānau and communities." Tēnā kautau i roto i ngā tini āhuatanga o te wā. I am honoured to present, on behalf of Te Āti Hau Trust, the annual report for the 2022/2023 financial year. It has been a busy year where we have continued to support our whānau to reach their potential, so that, in turn, they can help bring vitality and capability to our wider whānau and communities. Educational grants remain a key way pūtea is distributed by the Trust, but we have been delighted to see an increase in the number of applications from our kaumātua and have a new approach to supporting our marae that will better meet their needs and requirements. As a Trust, we will continue to review and evaluate our processes and strategic focus to lift the efficiency and effectiveness of how we help our people, guided by our principles of mātauranga (education), kotahitanga (unity of purpose), manaakitanga (nurture and reciprocate), whanaungatanga (collaboration), tiakitanga (active stewardship), mana tūpuna (legitimacy) and te reo (identity).

"In order to help support marae with their project planning and operational costs, the Trust is now providing 47 marae across the rohe with a grant on a three-year cycle."

Kaumātua Grants

The change to processing applications from our kaumātua every month from a quarterly cycle has been well received, with 157 grants totalling $124,874 being approved. Being able to approve health and wellness grants, such as dental work, hearing and optical aids in a timely manner means our elderly can access the items they need more quickly, to live more comfortable lives. We would encourage any kaumātua who have any specific health or wellbeing requirements to reach out to us so we can help align need to criteria and provide support.

Marae Grants

In order to help support marae with their project planning and operational costs, the Trust is now providing 47 marae across the rohe with a grant on a three-year cycle. Marae groups can also apply for a one-off grant to fund a specific infrastructure project at any time. This year, ten marae received grants totalling $59,000. In total the Trust distributed $333,527 in General Grants during the year.

Educational Grants

The migration of the application process for all educational grants to a centralised portal hasn’t been without its challenges, but solutions have been identified and we are looking forward to some site and process enhancements in 2024 to help improve the experience of uri.

We encourage potential recipients to ensure they submit a full application to achieve the best possible outcome. Please do reach out for assistance with your application – we are happy to help. In total, the Trust awarded $74,950 in 161 separate grants to those attending tertiary education, as well as a further $12,750 to support 51 high schoolers in their academic studies. Trust tertiary scholarships were also awarded, to the value of $11,000. The Trust is also keen to help those who are following a trades apprenticeship pathway, and this year seven trades grants were approved to a total of $4,900. In all, $103,600 in Educational Grants was distributed.

Governance and Strategic Direction

The Trust is fortunate to have Dr Te Tiwha Puketapu, Chair of Ātihau-Whanganui Incorporation, and Che Wilson, Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee, join myself, Jonelle Hiroti-Kinane and Claire Cilliers (independent trustees), Tukariri Dryden (associate trustee) and Charles Chadwick (associate director), around the Trust table this past year. It has meant we have been able to reset and realign our focus and strategic approach with those of our parent Incorporation, boost understanding of the role the Trust plays in achieving the desired outcomes for the Āti Hau Group, and work together for the benefit of our whānau.

We will continue to seek opportunities to build partnerships with businesses, groups and organisations, which help leverage what we can provide to our uri and whānau. Our relationship with the Māori Education Trust is one example of the benefits this type of relationship can bring, with additional funding helping boost the value of our educational grants and scholarships that Te Āti Hau Trust approves. Te Herenga Waka Victoria University’s Taihonoa strategic partnership approach also enables students receiving grants from the Trust to be awarded extra pūtea.

Acknowledgements

I would like to acknowledge the mahi of my fellow Trustees, and that of the Trust members who stood down last year (Shar Amner, Mavis Mullins and Aaron Rice-Edwards), for their considered and valuable input into the way the Trust is administered. I also acknowledge the ongoing support of Ātihau-Whanganui Incorporation and thank the Committee of Management for their leadership and guidance. Ngā mihi

Trust Case Study

Two students supported by Te Āti Hau Trust are focusing on the value of mātauranga Māori in the taiao space. The wāhine say at the heart of their studies is the way mātauranga Māori can be used to add different perspectives to understanding the environment. Leana Barriball is a shareholder descendant and also of Ngāti Tama, Te Atiawa, Ngāti Kahungunu and Rongomaiwahine descent. She is using both the Western scientific approach and mātauranga Māori in her PhD studies, looking at the impact rising sea levels would have on two īnanga spawning sites in the rohe of Ngāti Kahungunu. She is the recipient of the PhD Scholarship, which has enabled her to fund the time she needed to spend in the field collecting raw data for her studies. “For me, the two approaches are different ways of knowing things. Science is very specific to the thing you are looking at – you control everything around it, isolate it, to get to know it better. Mātauranga Māori makes connections and looks at how the thing behaves in response. It uses whakapapa, pūrākau and tohu to be able to make predictions and provide understanding. Neither is better than the other, they are just

different ways of learning about the thing.” Working part-time at the Parliamentary Commission for the Environment, the watchdog for all environmental agencies, studying part-time and co-parenting her two tamariki, Leana is in her third year of the five years she thinks it will take to complete her work. “There’s a lot of juggling, and, unfortunately, money can be a big stressor when you are taking on a period of study,” says Leana. “Receiving the scholarship has made a big difference in enabling me to complete my fieldwork

without having to worry all the time. I’ve also been able to give koha in acknowledgement and appreciation for those who have shared their time and knowledge with me.” But the scholarship means more than just pūtea. “Knowing that my iwi can see the value in my work, and how it will benefit future generations, gives me a greater belief in myself,” she says. And the same is true for Pania Tutemahurangi (Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi, Whakatōhea), recipient of the Ravensdown Scholarship and

“Knowing that my iwi can see the value in my work, and how it will benefit future generations, gives me a greater belief in myself.”

studying Bachelor of Resource and Environmental Planning with Māori Studies at Massey University. “When I applied, I didn’t know if this was even the right direction for me,” she confesses. “But receiving the scholarship gave me a real feeling that my whānau believed in me and so I should believe in myself.” “Now I know I am doing something right and realise that I am a generation that can make a huge difference in the place for those to come.” Her course of study will allow her to pursue many different avenues – for example, planning policy, resource consent, transport, urban planning – while looking though a Māori world lens. “I love the fact that the learning and knowledge I am gaining is in something that is so relevant for my whānau and iwi in how we care for our environment, the lakes and awa and I want to come home and work with and for them one day,” she says. Pania studies full-time as well as running her own gym. She also had a part-time job at Kapiti Coast District Council, but the scholarship meant she could give that up and focus more on her studies. “It’s made such a difference to me

that I don’t have to worry about the money I need for my living expenses quite so much,” she says. She has one more year to go before completing the four-year course.

can feel very daunting to talk about yourself in such a positive way, but it is important we do these things so others can see our passion and support us in it.”

Both Leana and Pania say they would encourage anyone thinking of applying for a scholarship to do so.

“I thought ‘what have I got to lose?” says Pania. “And it turned out that actually I had so much to gain. Now I am on track pursuing a career I am passionate about, in a way that will benefit who and where I come from.”

“It does mean you have to put yourself out there and talk about what you want to achieve, and the successes you have chalked up to get to this point,” says Leana. “Māori are a humble people, so it

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for land & buildings, biological assets and some financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is

directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

The information is presented in New Zealand Dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar.

Whenua and associated capital improvements has historically been carried at ratings valuation (RV) and changes to RV recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. This year they are carried at fair value (FV) as assessed by independent registered valuers. The differences between FV and RV is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. See note 20 for more detail

The financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies and measurement basis that are in effect at year end as summarised below. These were used throughout all periods presented in the financial statements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting policies which materially affect the measurement of the consolidated financial statements are disclosed as follows and under the notes to which they relate. Comparative balances have been restated to reflect current presentation. (a) Expenses Expenses are recognised on a functional basis in the period in which they are incurred. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (b) Goods and Services Taxation (GST) All amounts are stated exclusive of goods and services tax except for accounts payable and receivable which are inclusive of GST.

Other than the above, there have been no changes in accounting policies during the financial year.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES The preparation of these financial statements requires Management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying Ātihau's accounting policies that effect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Judgements and estimates are based on external advice, historical experience and other factors that they believe is relevant to the circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant are listed throughout the notes to the financial statements.

5. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (CONTINUED)

POLICIES - REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue from contracts with customers comprises the expected value for the sale of goods and services, excluding Goods and Services Tax. Revenue is recognised as follows: Sale of Goods - Livestock Ātihau sells livestock to third-party buyers. The livestock revenue is recognised at the point in time that control is assumed by the buyer, being the date that the animal is killed. The amount of revenue recognised is based on the industry market price provided by the buyer. Sale of Goods - Apiary Ātihau sells honey product to third-party buyers. Honey sale revenue is recognised when control of the goods has passed to the customer, being the point in time that the goods are delivered to the customer. The amount of revenue recognised is based on an agreed price list adjusted to account for current market conditions. Sale of Goods - Milk Ātihau sells milk to a third-party buyer. The milk revenue is recognised at the point in time that control is assumed by the buyer, being the date of collection. Payment is paid on a per kg milksolids basis based upon the forecast milk price payable. Approximately 85% is received upon collection and the balance is deferred, spread over the months up to September following year end. Sale of Goods - Wool Ātihau sells wool to third-party buyers. The wool revenue is recognised at the point in time that control is assumed by the buyer, being the date the wool is collected, or the date the wool is sold at auction.

Deferred tax assets & (liabilities) in relation to: Livestock Property, plant & equipment

POLICIES - INCOME TAX Ātihau is registered as a Maori Authority for income tax purposes. Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, Inland Revenue Department relating to the current or prior reporting periods that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred income taxes are calculated in respect to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts used for tax purposes. It is not provided on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by Ātihau and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilised against future taxable income, based on Ātihau's forecast of future operating results which is adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax losses or credit. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided in full. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when Ātihau has a right and intention to set off current tax assets and liabilities. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax income or expense in the profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income (such as the revaluation of land) or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.

The cost formula for specific inventory items is as follows: Stock feed on hand is stated at fair value at point of harvest, less costs to realise. Agricultural produce inventory from biological assets is valued at fair value, by reference to market prices for bulk honey and wool, less estimated point of sale costs. Bulk Honey is valued at estimated Net Realisable Value (NRV) to reflect honey attribution changes and estimated future achievable sales values. Writedown of carrying value to NRV is offset against Apiary Revenue. Honey is MGO quality tested and an estimate of market price valued using forecast farmgate prices listed by a significant customer at year end discounted to account for slow moving stock. Packaged honey is valued at the bulk honey value plus cost of raw materials used.

Livestock consists of mixed age sheep and cows which are held for dairy and dry stock farming. The units on hand were counted and independently verified by PGG Wrightson (PGG) prior to years end. A fair value valuation of the sheep and cattle was undertaken by S Luoni (employed by PGG). The valuation is based on reference to market evidence of current prices less point of sale costs. PGG is an independent registered valuer not related to Ātihau. The valuers hold recognised and relevant professional qualifications and have recent experience in the category of biological asset they have valued. Bees on hand consist of queen and worker bees. Hive valuations were verified independently by W Steel in June 2023 (Director of an apiary company).Values were based on the size of the hive, and included both biomass (bees) and hiveware components. The biomass component is calculated by deducting the hiveware component from hive value. Non JV Forestry was valued at market value in accordance with IAS 41 and New Zealand Institute of Forestry standards by Forest360, an independent registered forestry valuer. The valuers hold recognised and relevant professional qualifications with experience in the industry.

17. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS (CONTINUED)

POLICIES - BIOLOGICAL ASSETS Biological assets include livestock, bees and forests and are valued using market values by industry experts. Livestock market values reflect livestock of similar age, breed and genetic merit. Changes in the value of livestock are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Value changes that form part of Ātihau livestock management policies including animal growth and changes in livestock numbers are recognised as Revenue in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Changes in value due to general livestock price movements are beyond Ātihau's control and are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as gain/loss due to price changes on livestock. Bees are measured at fair value less point of sale costs. Non current Biological Assets relates to forestry not held through the Papahaua JV and are located across Ohorea, Waipuna, Te Paenga and Tawanui blocks. These trees are revalued to fair value value by a registered Forestry Valuer.

POLICIES - LEASES All significant leases over twelve months term are accounted for by recognising a right-of-use asset and a lease liability: Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by reference to the rate inherent in the lease. Variable lease payments are expensed in the period to which they relate. Right of use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease, initial direct costs incurred; and the amount of any provision recognised where Ātihau is contractually required to dismantle, remove or restore the leased asset. Subsequent to initial measurement lease liabilities increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made. Right-of-use assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease.

Te Hou Limited Partnership is in the business of Sheep, Beef and Dairy farming and is audited. Papahau forestry partnership is a separately structured vehicle whose accounts are unaudited. The primary activity is forest plantation. The Ātihau share of this forest investment is valued at market value by Stuart Orme, a RMNZIF Registered Forestry Consultant of Orme & Associates Limited. Realisation of this investment will require reconstruction of a publicly owned bridge. Management are now confident that this will be replaced by the local council and accordingly, the forest valuation is no longer discounted by the bridge construction cost estimate.

A joint venture is an arrangement that Ātihau controls jointly with one or more other investors over which Ātihau has rights to a share of the arrangement's net assets rather than direct rights to underlying assets and obligations for underlying liabilities. Ātihau's investment in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in the financial statements. Under the equity method, investments in associates and joint ventures are carried in the Statement of Financial Position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the share of net assets of the associate and joint ventures. The carrying amount of the investment in associates and joint ventures is increased or decreased to recognise Ātihau's share of the net surplus and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with Ātihau's accounting policies.

Ātihau-Whanganui Incorporation NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2023

20. PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED) 20a. Land and improvements were revalued to market value on a General Freehold basis by registered valuers Morgans Property Advisors (Morgans) as at 30 June 2023. Any sale could be affected by the requirements of sale imposed by the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. Morgans estimate that such effect could be 5-15% discount on specific property totalling $40.3m. This is a change of estimate from prior years where the policy was to revalue to ratings valuation performed by Quotable Value Limited (latest being in 2020 by Ruapehu District Council). Ratings valuations are considered a departure from accounting standard NZ IAS 16 primarily because ratings valuations are general rather than specific appraisals. 20b. In 2023 Grants from Horizons Regional Council, $66,446 and One Billion Trees programme $94,178 were deducted before arriving at capitalised fencing and native tree planting classed as development. (2022: $222,085). 20c. In 2022 Ātihau resumed three leases totalling 2,679 ha. On resumption $1.4m compensation (included as asset additions) was paid to the lessee based on an agreed value of the lessee improvements between Ātihau and the lessees. The $7.5m value of the land was reclassed from Leasehold to Freehold class.

POLICIES - PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT Items of property, plant and equipment, except for land, are measured on the cost basis and are therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. In the event the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to its estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Land is revalued to fair value by registered valuers in accordance with NZ IAS 16. Revaluation movements are reflected through Other Comprehensive Income and cumulative revaluations reflected in the PPE Revaluation Reserve. The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, including buildings and capitalised lease assets but excluding freehold and leasehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line or diminishing value basis over the asset's useful life. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation rates applied to significant classes of assets are: Class

From

Buildings & Bridges 0% 20%DV Development & Improvements 0% 40%DV Motor Vehicles, Plant & Machinery 6%DV 40%DV Furniture & Fittings 8%DV 40%DV Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Development Expenditure Development costs are where expenditure is carried out on Ātihau's farming property over and above normal maintenance. Development costs are capitalised and depreciated over future periods in relation to expected future benefit. Government Grants Government grants relating to PPE assets are deducted in arriving at the initial carrying amount of the asset.

A liquidator was appointed on 21st June 2023 for Ruapehu Alpine Lifts Limited (RAL), issuer of the RAL Gondola Bond. The liquidators opened both skifields for the 2023 ski season and is continuing to operate while investigating the sale of the individual ski fields. Initial indications are that bonds and associated commitments relating to the Gondola will transfer to any new owner of the Whakapapa Ski field in accordance with the original agreements therefore management has not impaired the bonds at this time.

POLICIES - INVESTMENTS Investments in shares have been classified at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) for equity instruments. At balance date shares are revalued to fair value and any gains or losses reflected through other comprehensive income.

POLICIES - INTANGIBLE ASSETS (EMISSION TRADING UNITS) Emission trading units have been purchased and earned (ie internally generated) off growing forestry and are considered to have indefinite useful life (as long as the market regulatory framework is not changed significantly). Post-1989 Forest Land Ātihau chose to enter the ETS for post-1989 forest land and earn NZUs as forests grow and carbon is stored in the forest from a 2008 baseline. NZUs are required to be returned to the Crown if the carbon stored in the specified area reduces. NZUs are initially recognised at cost and revalued to market value at reporting date through comprehensive income and reserves. If the obligation to return units arises the obligation is recognised on the Balance Sheet. Revenue recognition - when sold gains or losses on the carrying value relating to the trading of NZUs are reflected in Net Surplus and the carrying value is transferred from revaluation reserve to retained earnings.

Customised average rate loans provide flexibility for drawdown and repayment dates. Total principal loan amounts are divided into portions, each portion being allocated a different interest rate, hence mitigating interest rate risk. Interest rates can be floating, fixed and capped.

POLICIES - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS & RISK MANAGEMENT The principal financial instruments used by the Group from which financial instrument risk arises are as follows: - Trade receivables - Investments in quoted and unquoted equity securities - Emissions trading units - Trade and other payables - Bank overdrafts - Floating-rate bank loans - Fixed rate bank loans - Interest rate swaps derivatives Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when Ātihau becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Ātihau-Whanganui Incorporation NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2023

26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

POLICIES - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS & RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) Financial Assets Ātihau classifies its financial assets into the following categories: "amortised cost" and "fair value through OCI for equity instruments". The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets, and is determined at the time of initial recognition and is re-evaluated by Management at every reporting date. All transactions are recognised (or derecognised) on trade date basis. Fair value through OCI for equity instrument financial assets held by Ātihau include supplier shares which are issued at $1 and if surrendered are repaid at $1. Where shares are able to be traded on the listed or unlisted exchange these are reflected at market value. They also hold shares for which there are value changes, including Fonterra shares. These are reflected at values advised by Fonterra. Dividends on these financial assets are recognised in net surplus when Ātihau's right to receive the dividends is established. Financial assets recognised at amortised cost are non-derivative financial assets that are held with the objective to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. These financial assets include trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents and are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate, less any impairment. Impairment of financial assets: At reporting date Management reviews financial assets for impairment using the expected credit loss model. Any impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss component of the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss or other financial liabilities. No financial liabilities are held at fair value through profit and loss. Other financial liabilities (including borrowings and trade and other payables) are initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Due to the short term nature of trade and other payables these are not discounted. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. All borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period they are incurred. Derivative financial instruments Ātihau uses cash flow hedges to manage its risks. These are managed by Interest rate swaps and fixed interest rates Ātihau interest rate on a portion of the BNZ borrowings is floating exposing the Group to movements in interest rates. The swaps provide the right to pay interest at fixed rates instead of at floating rates. Such hedges cover 10% of drawn borrowings (2022: Nil). The strategy for interest rate risk management is to reduce the uncertainty of interest rate movements through the fixing of interest rate costs and to minimise the net interest costs within acceptable risk parameters. Ātihau’s treasury policy defines the use of approved hedging instruments to manage interest rate exposures within minimum and maximum control limits of fixed interest rate cover as set out in the interest rate risk section of the treasury policy.

Retained Earnings Retained Earnings comprise Ātihau's accumulated net profits less dividends paid. ETU Reserve The Emissions trading units reserve represents revaluations of emission trading units. When revalued ETUs are sold or surrendered, the proportion of the reserve that relate to those units are transferred to retained earnings.

Share Reserve The Available For Sale share reserve represents unrealised revaluations of share investments.

Ātihau-Whanganui Incorporation NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2023

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT To the Shareholders of Ātihau Whanganui Incorporation Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Ātihau Whanganui Incorporation and its subsidiaries (the Group) on pages 74 to 103, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matters described under the Basis for Qualified Opinion section,, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2023, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime (NZ IFRS RDR). Basis for Qualified Opinion As disclosed in note 20 on page 93 to the consolidated financial statements, the land and buildings at 30 June 2022 were reported at the latest government value “(“Quotable Value”). This was a departure from the New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards – NZ IAS 16 Accounting for Property, Plant & Equipment. The Incorporation adopted the fair value model in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards – NZ IAS 16 Accounting for Property, Plant & Equipment for the year ended 30 June 2023. We were unable to determine whether any portion of the revaluation movement recorded in the 30 June 2023 other comprehensive income relates to the prior financial years. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Incorporation or any of its subsidiaries.

Emphasis of Matter – Valuation of land and buildings The Committee Members obtained an independent valuation of the land and improvements as disclosed in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements. The Land and improvements were revalued to market value on a General Freehold basis by registered valuers Morgans Property Advisors (Morgans) as at 30 June 2023. The Incorporation has adopted the general freehold basis for the recording of the carrying value of the land and improvements in the consolidated financial statements. Any sale could be affected by the requirements of sale imposed by the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. Morgans estimate that such effect could be 5-15% discount on specific property totalling $40.3m. The difference between the carrying value of the land and improvements and the discount can only be determined once a sale takes place. We have not modified our opinion in respect to this matter. Other information The Committee Members are responsible on behalf of the Group for the other information. The other information comprises the Annual Report on pages 3 to 73 and 107 but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If based, on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Committee Members Responsibilities for the Financial Statements The Committee Members are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS RDR, and for such internal control as the Committee Members determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Committee Members are responsible on behalf of the Group for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Committee Members either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
