JCtrans: Would you please talk about the situation of logistic industry in your country?
Kevin Addison: Australia economy is very robust with a good mix of reliance on Natural Resource
exports as well as FMCG Imports. The AUD is fairly strong currency that allows a
consistent cost base to be achieved for our Importers. Terms of Trade are changing
over the past few years into a more DAP/DDP market driven by competiveness in the
International Freight Arena and the ease of allowing suppliers to arrange the
shipments delivered into their care.

Kevin Addison: We have a reliance on China Market as our largest trading partner and represents a
little over 30% of Cargo Lines Imports. We want to continue to keep our eye on China
but at the same time reduce by % its share in our business by promoting growth in
other Trade Lanes outside of China.
