The Price Companies Business Model

                       Suppliers receive:
                         – A fair price for feedstock
                         – A preferred delivery point
                       Client specifies:
                         – Woodchip or other product
                         – Site of the receiving/processing yard
                       Price provides:
                         – Feedstock procurement and delivery
                         – Design/construction of receiving yard
                         – Management of preparation facility
Overview

Improving yield per acre


   Marginal land adaptability
   Shorter, perennial crop rotation -
    ideally at 5 years
   More carbon sequestration
   Better pest and fire resistance
   Higher drought and climate
    tolerance
   Streamline processability
   New growing and harvesting
    techniques

Challenges:        Solutions:
                   —   New species, Improved genetics
 Yield
                   —   Shorter rotation
                   —   Marginal land
 Harvesting       —   Utilize existing waste
                   —   Cost efficient one pass process
 Transportation   — Minimize hauling distances
                   — Specialized rigs
                   — Increase gross vehicle weight
 Pre-processing   — Good economic analysis
                   — Flexibility as technology evolves
 Sustainability   — Develop BMP’s, outside attestation
