KOKAKO TRUST
2015 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Kia ora ano tatou katoa I am very proud to table my annual report to this, the 33rd annual meeting of Kokako Trust. I would like to thank Tarukenga Marae for hosting our AGM this year. After the record year in 2014 we knew 2015 would be tough but the forecast $3.85 per kilo of milksolids predicted mid year was not what anyone was expecting. Thankfully that forecast has changed and it is now looking likely that we will receive over $5 per kilo, although the markets remain uncomfortably volatile. Kokako farms are faring better than many other dairy farms and that is a credit to all our sharemilkers, managers, employees and advisers. We also have good support from our Banker Westpac bank and we extend our appreciation to them for their ongoing support. We are mindful of the weather forecasting for an El Nino event and are preparing the farms for a dry summer although this seems to have started even earlier than expected. The decision we made in recent years to accelerate debt repayment has proven its worth. Further debt repayment is on hold until we see an improvement in the dairy market. We have had a good look at our budgets and cut back expenditure where we can. Some of our initiatives have been put on hold for the moment. We are continuing to review our costs and the way we do things and to look for savings. We hope to get through the current season with positive cashflow and accordingly there is no change to this year’s owners distributions. However if there is further weakness in the dairy market and the predicted summer drought arrives and impacts on our milksolid production then we may need to review our distribution policy next year. We could also consider whether we need to hold annual general meetings every year or whether we move to every second or third year. The term of trainee Trustee Kyle Amopiu came up in May 2015. We did not receive any nominations so Kyle was reappointed for a further two year term. The term of Takarei Te Tamaki comes up in May 2016 and we will be calling for nominations for the next two year term from March. Trainees must be able to commit to the two monthly on farm inspections and Trustee meetings in Rotorua.

We will shortly pay the annual owners grant to all owners that have provided their bank account and address. The minimum grant is $75. We will also pay the annual Kaumatua grant of $250 for owners aged 65 years or more at the date of this meeting. If you haven’t registered for these payments then see our Secretary Murray Patchell. The annual tertiary education grants open in January and close on 29th April 2016. This year we paid 75 grants of $200 each. It is a small way that we can support and encourage our young people to go on to higher education. Applications can only be lodged on line through the website http://rotorua.deloitte.co.nz. We have a great team of Trustees, advisers, farm managers and staff, doing an excellent job in the face of some very challenging conditions. I thank you all for attending today and supporting the Kokako team. Wishing all of you and your whanau a safe and happy Christmas and a prosperous 2016.

KOKAKO TRUST
ANNUAL FARMING REPORT 2014/15 SEASON
INTRODUCTION
Kokako achieved a new record in terms of production which helped to offset the major drop in milk price from the previous season’s high of $8.40/kg MS to a final milk price of $4.40/kg MS. Having made excellent progress on paying off debt in the previous year, the Trust was able to go into the 2014/15 year in a strong position despite the continued drop in forecast milk price which had initially been forecast at $6/kg MS.
DAIRY PRODUCTION
Total production from the dairy farms for the 2014/15 season reached a new record of 519,113kg milk solids from a total of 1,235 cows milked at peak despite a dry period over the autumn. The boost in production came over the early part of the season with over 200,745kg MS already in hand by the end of October. Actual figures for production achieved over the last few years are given in Table 1 along with district average and top 10% levels.

Page 9
` Kokako Annual Report 2014/15
Average production over the last 6 years is 471,973kg MS with the period including three top years of over 500,000kg and three drought affected years when production ranged from 421,520kg to 449,266kg MS.
The milk solids price for the previous 4 years has been $8.40/kg,$5.84/kg, $6.05/kg MS and $7.59/kg MS.
Fonterra paid a dividend on shares of 25c/share for the 2014/15 season compared to10c/share for the 2013/14 year and 32c/share in the previous year. Kokako Trust has 520,245 Fonterra shares which at the 26th of November 2015 were valued at $5.44/share. The dividend received therefore represents a return of 4.6%.
DRYSTOCK UNIT PRODUCTION
Lamb weights reached a new record of 18.53kg and prices were also high at an average of $5.15/kg or $95.54/lamb, up from an average of $86.74/lamb the previous year. The drought impacted the drystock block over the autumn with both feed quality and quantity limited for replacement stock.
FINANCIAL-OVERALL
The financial results are skewed down not only because of the drop in milk price directly impacting actual income but also as a result of the subsequent drop in valuation of the dairy stock. While the drop in value does not impact cash flow it does reduce the taxable income position for Dairy 1 and 3 which have the dairy cows. Ironically as the schedule price has been high the value of cull cows was at a high of around $770/head against a budget value of around $500/head.
Based on the Audited Financial Statements the Gross Farm Surplus for taxation purposes after allowing for change in stock value and depreciation is a deficit of $5,284 compared to a high of $1,712,301 surplus for 2013/14. This reduced to a deficit of $331,455 after including non-farm income of $44,537 for interest, rebates and dividends and allowing administration expenses of $236,415, interest payments of $63,266 and taxation of $63,570. This compares to an after tax surplus of $1,372,954, $386,563 and $537,426 for the previous three years.
As $730,000 of debt had been repaid in the previous 2013/14 year, the Trust was in a very strong position and the decision was made to limit debt repayment to the $50,000 paid off in October. This now leaves the mortgage at the end of June 2015 at $1,068,005. The Trust also paid a total of $115,687 in the various shareholder, kaumatua and marae and education grants.
Table 2 outlines the contribution each farm makes to the overall Farm Surplus including an allowance for depreciation.

DAIRY ONE
Andrew Grayling completed his ninth and last year at Kokako 1. Andrew has moved on having taken a break over the spring. Jason and Shelley Sabin from Dairy 2 are now also operating Kokako Dairy 1 with a team of staff. For Andrew’s last season the variable order share milking agreement was in place with Kokako Trust receiving 75% of the income and Andrew on a 25% share as reward for paying all staff, electricity and shed expenses as well as the provision of motorbikes and their operation.
Kokako 1 herd

` Kokako Annual Report 2014/15
Production reached a farm record of 176,159kg milksolids, from 425 cows at peak, against a budget of 164,000kg MS. Total income actually received over the year was buoyed up by the large deferred income still being received based on the previous years $8.40/kg milk price of which $1.50/kg came in over the July to October period. Cull cow prices were also very high with Kokako 1 averaging $776/head for the 87 cows sold. Cash income relating to the 2014/15 year amounted to $669,558 which was well below the original budget based on a $6/kg milk price of $935,673. Total expenses before depreciation at $524,598 $2.98/kg MS compare to the previous year’s $513,774, and a budget of $543,682. While on a cash basis the farm made a cash surplus of $144,960 from a taxation perspective including the drop in livestock value at around $230/head and depreciation Dairy unit 1 made a Net Deficit of $24,310.
DAIRY TWO
On Dairy Unit 2, with Jason and Shelley Sabin in their sixth year as 50/50 share milkers, the production reached a new record of 245,851kg MS, with around 565 cows milked at peak, compared to a budget of 216,500kg MS. Total income for the Trust was $545,438 with the drop to a $4.40/kg milk price against a budgeted income of $791,850 at a $6/kg milk price. Expenses, excluding depreciation, at $338,659, $1.38/kg MS compare with $351,264 the previous year and a budget of $359,340. Repairs and maintenance were around $6,000 less than budget, feed costs were around $20,000 less than budgeted. The high level of production on a per ha basis and the well set up nature of the farm contribute to the extremely low level of expenses on a per kg of milk solids basis. The cash surplus for Dairy 2 amounted to $206,779. As the livestock are owned here by the sharemilker no change in livestock value applies but after allowance for depreciation the net surplus was $176,282.
DAIRY THREE
On Dairy Unit 3, the farm was managed for the eighth year by Richard and Sue Cook who started in 2007. This season they operated as Contract Milkers receiving $1.50/kg milksolids and paying for all staffing, electricity, shed expenses and vehicle/motorbike excluding tractor expenses. Production reached 97,104kg MS, from 245 cows milked, compared to a budget of 90,000kg MS.
Cash income reached $329,467 as against a budget of $559,575. Expenses at $321,095, $3.31/kg MS compare to a budget of $316,883. The cash surplus for the year was only just breakeven at a surplus of $8,372 from a cash perspective. Once adjustments for change in livestock value and depreciation were taken into account the net deficit was $132,483. Richard and Sue have continued their involvement in providing on farm training on Kokako Dairy 3 for a group of local Taratahi farm
Page 12
` Kokako Annual Report 2014/15
trainees. The farm has looking better for the additional repairs in terms of fencing work etc that has been undertaken and we thank Richard and Sue for their input into this project.
DRYSTOCK UNIT
Jim Clarke continued the management of the drystock unit which he has done for the past 12 years since March 2003. The Trust is fortunate to have someone so dedicated to improvements in regard to fencing and tracks etc.
Total sheep numbers have progressively lifted over the last few years with replacements from our own ewe being kept on and no further replacement ewes were purchased in the 2014/15 year. In total 444 ewes were on hand at closing in addition to 112 replacement ewe hoggets and 135 mixed sex hoggets which have been finished and sold over spring 2015. Lambing % was average at around 118% Lamb weights reached a new record with an average of 18.53kg carcass weight up from 15.9kg last year. With the schedule at an average of $5.15/kg, the 356 lambs sold for an average of $95.54/lamb. The heavier weights can be attributed to the improved quality of finishing feed provided by plantain crops. Additional plantain area has been sown this spring to allow for all lambs to be grazed on plantain over the summer/autumn period until sale.
In total 288 rising 2 year heifers were grazed on the drystock unit plus 186 rising 1 year heifers. These include stock from Dairy 1 and 3 as well as replacements grazed for Feek and 16 for Sabin and Co. The rising 2 year heifers returned to the dairy units at similar weights to the previous year at 377 to 386kg liveweight. While this was in line with a standard crossbred heifer weight of 375kg we would like to target around 400kg liveweight by the 1 May. A total of 300 cows were wintered for 8 weeks. These have been grazed very well and returned home in excellent condition.
Cash income on the Drystock unit at $300,270 includes $246,123 of grazing income and $44,645 of stock trading. This was up around $20,000 on the previous year and up $40,000 on the budget due largely to $28,000 more in grazing income and $11,000 for from livestock sales. There was only a $2,175 loss on the change stock value from opening to closing. Total expenses for the drystock unit were $278,304 excluding depreciation and forestry compared to a budget of $251,060. This is up on budget with $10,000 more spent on additional fencing and water improvements. The cash surplus at the Drystock unit was $35,813 while the net surplus after adjustments for livestock value change and depreciation was $27,606.

` Kokako Annual Report 2014/15
FORESTRY
Forestry expenses amounted to $13,847 for ongoing work on maintaining the Kokako forests. The total Kokako forested area now amounts to 60.2ha.
There are further areas on the Kokako Trust land that would suit planting in forestry. It is planned to increase the area of forest as part of a strategy to reduce nutrient loss from the Kokako land in the future.
NGATIRA
The Ngatira lease land again provided supplement in the form of oat silage, grass silage and maize silage. In total 209t of grass silage including 16ha of oats and 90t of barley and pea silage was harvested and transferred to the dairy units. A further 55t was harvested for use by the 269 cows from Dairy 2 wintered on grass, oats and silage for a month.
Only 10ha of maize was grown in the 2014/15 season with yield back up to 15t/ha despite an early frost soon after planting impacting on the crop. In addition 475t of maize was purchased from another grower and on sold to the dairy units.
The peas and barley grown for silage yielded well with 90t off 11ha. This year 16ha has been sown in peas and barley to go to the dairy units.
Jim Walsh, Shelley Sabin’s father has been doing weed control and has made an excellent job. It is now no longer necessary for the weed control to be done by air.
Income from feed grown and grazing of stock totalled $173,649 excluding the $164,164 for maize purchased and then on-sold. Income was less than budgeted with fewer replacements being grazed. This year numbers will be back up. Expenses excluding depreciation at $210,673 compared with $215,110 the previous year and up $20,000 on budget with more spent on feed costs in terms of baleage as well as on weeds and cropping. The Ngatira unit finished with a deficit of $38,531 after depreciation compared to a breakeven budget.
OUTLOOK FOR 2015/16
Pasture growth conditions have been slow throughout the winter and spring period with warmer weather interspersed with cold and windy periods. Pasture cover levels at the start of calving were lower as a result. As a result of the drop in forecast milk price to $3.85 on the 10th of August cow numbers were reduced on all the Dairy units with 20 cows sold from Kokako 1, 40 cows from the sharemilkers herd at Kokako 2 and 10 from the Kokako 3 herd. Despite the lower numbers additional
Page 14
` Kokako Annual Report 2014/15
feed has still been required to make up for poor pasture growth rates and production is down on all units. Production to the 23rd of November is 229,028kg MS down 10% on last season’s record of 255,239kg MS and down 6.5% on budget due to actions taken as a result of the lower milk price. The Fonterra milk price, for the current season which dropped to $3.85/kg has been revised to $4.60/kg MS but at present the global dairy prices are not supporting this level.
More area has been planted in chicory to help offset the dry period expected this summer.
This seasons lambing % is around 125% for the ewes and feed quality on the drystock is currently very good. Replacement livestock have regained the shortfall in liveweight from last year’s drought.
The Trust had held off paying more principal last year in favour of putting additional funds into a term deposit. This has put Kokako in a very strong position to withstand another low milk price year.
Kokako has also taken up the Fonterra Support loan which will provide additional funds interest free until May 2017.
The allowance for grant and dividends has been held at the same rate as last year.
Our thanks to Murray Patchell and his team and all the Trustees for their continued support. It has been our pleasure to assist the Trust to achieve this most excellent result. Perrin Ag Consultants Farm Supervisors

2015 OWNERS GRANT POLICY An Owners grant in lieu of a dividend was approved at the AGM on 28 November 2015. This grant is payable to the Owners registered at 28 November 2015 who have supplied their bank account numbers and addresses. The grant is also available to Owners, subject to the terms of the grants policy, up to the next AGM. The current policy in respect of the 2015 Owners Grant is as follows:‐
1. For identification purposes the grant will be called the “2015 Owners Grant”. 2. The sum of $70,000 has been set aside for 2015 Owners Grants. 3. Payments to be made only to bank accounts and Owners addresses must be held. 4. Payments will be calculated according to shareholding bands as per the attached schedule
with a minimum payment of $75. 5. All Owners with addresses are to be advised of the Owners Grant and those who have not
provided bank accounts details will be asked to do so. 6. Sufficient funds will be retained to cover any Owners who are located after the payment
date. 7. The Trustees reserve the right to make only one payment to a Owner whose name may
appear more than once on the share register where it is evident that those multiple names refer to one person.
8. Any Owners who are located after the payment date will be entitled to the payment they would have received had their address and bank account details been known at the distribution date.
9. Any owners who succeed to shares after the payment date will be entitled to payment of the current Owner’s grant based on their shareholding where it has not been paid to the deceased Owner.
10. Entitlement to the payment will expire on the date of the next AGM. 11. Payments to overseas Owners will be subject to deduction of bank charges. 12. The Trustees reserve the right to amend this policy or draft new policy to cover any
circumstance not covered or anticipated by this policy, in respect of payments to all beneficiaries or to any one or more beneficiaries and the Trustees decision in these matters will be final.
Owner Grant payments will be made from tax‐free retained earnings that will be free of tax in the hands of the Owners. Approved…………………………..… Chairman……………………………..

MAORI LAND COURT SUCCESSIONS
Q. How do I apply for succession?
A. You need to file an application for succession at the Maori Land Court. You will need to provide the following:
Original death certificate or a certified copy Original will (or grant of administration) if there is one Fully completed application papers Application fee of $60.00 Details of the deceased's whanau, that is parents, brothers, sisters and
children.
When obtaining Court land records you must tell them if the deceased person is in an Incorporation as the Court does not maintain registers for Incorporations. They will then ask the Incorporation Secretary for details of that shareholding.
Q. How much does it cost?
A. The application fee is $60.00. That is the only cost payable to the Maori Land Court. You may incur other costs obtaining copies of death certificates and if you have to consult a lawyer. You should discuss this with Court staff.
Q. What happens when I lodge my application?
A. The application is searched by Maori Land Court staff to obtain full details of the deceased's land interests. You will receive a copy of that search and will be advised by letter when you have to go to court. A court hearing will be arranged at the court venue closest to where the land is located or, if you prefer, closest to where you live. When you arrive at court, you will firstly speak to a Court officer who will confirm the details of your application. The Judge of the Court will then re-confirm those details in court. Following the court sitting, you will receive a copy of the court minutes, which is a record of the hearing. This is confirmation of what happened at the hearing.
Q. Do I have to get a lawyer?
A. In most cases, you can complete succession yourself. You should discuss whether or not you need a lawyer with Court staff.
Q. What is probate?
A. When the High Court confirms the appointment of an executor to look after the affairs of a deceased person, the court's authority for that person to act is given in a grant of probate.
If you would like assistance with this process you are welcome to contact Mrs Tai Taitoko in the Rotorua Deloitte office for guidance.
