This valuation places the fair market value of Proteak’s OPCs between MXP 25.30 and MXP 29.40 as of June. The valuation was performed based on discounted cash flows, considering the company’s Teak business as well as the development of the MDF plant in Huimanguillo, Tabasco. The valuation report is currently published on Proteak’s website: http://proteak.com/index.php/en/investors/financial-information/quarterly-reports. MDF Project On August 13, Proteak announced a 40% increase in the production capacity of the MDF plant currently under construction in Huimanguillo, Tabasco with an investment of over USD 200 million. The plant’s initial annual production was contemplated at 200,000 m3. However, after reviewing Proteak’s solid competitive advantages to enter this highly deficient market in Mexico, it decided, together with machinery supplier Dieffenbacher, to make the necessary adjustments to the plant in order to increase its capacity to 280,000 m3. During the quarter, the construction of the MDF plant continued in line with the Project’s schedule. The first stage of grade works was completed and pile installation started, prioritizing those areas where foundations will begin. The Energy Regulatory Commission (Comisión Reguladora de Energía, CRE) granted Proteak the co-generation permit and the company continued signing all the contracts necessary for the Project’s on-time, on-budget development. Important progress was made in the preparation and planting of the Eucalyptus plantations that will supply the MDF plant. During the quarter, 574 has were planted, 258 has were prepared for planting and preparation was started in an additional 741 has. As of quarter-end, total hectares planted with Eucalyptus amounted to 7,828. Paseo de la Reforma 725 Col.

Income Statement Analysis Quarterly results were positive in both, Teak and Eucalytus operations. Total quarterly sales reached MXP 32.9MM, for a total of MXP 126.4MM for the year, 18% higher than the same period a year ago. In the case of Teak, Proteak continued emphasizing its price optimization strategy, prioritizing it over volume, with a positive effect in net income; thus, despite a decrease in sales volume, the company achieved a higher sales margin. The ban on export of round logs from Burma has been highly effective by sea; nevertheless, by land and through illegal channels, large quantities of wood have been introduced to China. We estimate that this effect will last for close to a year. Nevertheless, Proteak managed to obtain unprecedented sales prices for its exports to Asia, achieving a gross margin of 16.5%. Quarterly Teak sales totaled MXP 26.8MM. Paseo de la Reforma 725 Col. Lomas de Chapultepec, Miguel Hidalgo, CP. 11000, Distrito Federal, México. 5 Regarding Eucalyptus, Proteak continued implementing a strategy where it sells wood only from plantations that are too far away to supply the MDF plant. Quarterly Eucalyptus sales totaled MXP 6.1MM. Income from revaluations resulting from wood growth added up to MXP 21.7MM for the quarter. Moreover, quarterly cost of sales registered a significant improvement as a percentage of the latter, in comparison with the same quarter last year. This resulted in a gross profit of MXP 31.3MM, 22% higher than the same quarter of 2013.

The positive results of Proteak’s sales strategy, combined with the efficiency in logistic costs and the stable performance of general expenses, resulted in an operating income of MXP 6.1MM, 45% higher than the one registered in 3Q13. Financial statements show the effect of foreign currency conversion derived from company operations in Colombia, Costa Rica and Mexico. Net income for the first nine months of the year includes a negative effect of MXP (15.1MM); total capital, however, includes a direct positive effect of MXP 23.1MM. Both effects combined result in an accumulated comprehensive income of MXP 21.4MM. Paseo de la Reforma 725 Col.

Balance Sheet Analysis Compared to year-end 2013, total assets grew 8%, mainly reflecting the revaluation of biological assets. So far this year, the provision for the revaluation of biological assets amounts to MXP 63.9MM reaching a 977.7MM balance, without considering inventory. The value of Proteak’s plantations is mainly modified by four factors: (i) capitalized forestry expenses, (ii) exchange rate, (iii) revaluations representing the growth of the biological assets, and (iv) outflows from wood’s cost of sales. So far this year, the following has been registered: (i) MXP 68.3MM in capitalized forestry expenses, destined for the maintenance of existing plantations to improve their expected return by promoting higher growth rates, as well as the plantation of 1,200 Teak hectares and 2,000 Eucalyptus hectares in 2014, (ii) MXP 2MM from revaluation of the US dollar, (iii) MXP 63.9MM for revaluation derived from the previously discussed growth, and (iv) MXP 67.9MM, which represent the wood’s cost sales. During the year, harvested wood amounts to 72.3Mm3 (thinnings and harvest). Long-Term assets kept for sale are mainly non-strategic land that will be sold in the medium term. These assets are located in Costa Rica and are worth MXP 102.8MM. Paseo de la Reforma 725 Col.

Fixed Assets are mainly composed by 17,224 hectares of land, two nurseries, machinery and agricultural, forestry and transportation equipment, and other forestry assets. Other receivables include mainly taxes that are in a refund process. Long-Term Debt includes a net credit from Financiera Rural, which totals MXP 182MM, including interest, and the loan from the IFC, that amounts to MXP 67MM. The Company´s total capital as of quarter-end amounts to MXP 2,119MM, with a solid debt-toequity ratio of 1:4.7. III. Cash Flow Analysis The quarter’s cash flow evolved as projected, with a net operating cash flow of MXP 15MM. Among investments, it is worth highlighting the purchase of land for MXP 4MM and the investment in civil works for the MDF Plant for a total of MXP 61 MM. Positive cash flow transactions reflect the company’s continuing collection improvements for a third consecutive quarter, which amounted to MXP 58MM, and income from subsidies for MXP 6MM, representing 80% of the expected total for the year. The ending cash position for the quarter totaled MXP 165MM. Paseo de la Reforma 725 Col.
