Quarterly Activities Report

ASX CODE: MCA

ASX Announcement

31 July 2017

Murray Cod Australia (ASX:MCA) (the "Company") is pleased to provide the quarterly activities report for the three months ended 30 June 2017, to be read in conjunction with the Appendix 4C.

Sales Report & Growth

The Company is pleased to report that Sales have remained steady over the past quarter with no significant increases forecast until new production dams come online in mid-2018. Marketing strategies and brand development work is being undertaken now to drive increased demand and maintain the position of our product at the premium end of the market.

The growth in fish stock weight has been excellent and in line with the Company's expectations. This seasons dam stockings will be the first from our selected broodstock lines.

New Pond Development

The construction and development of 6 new ponds was completed during the period and construction of novel fish cage systems is now underway. Management is planning to have the cages installed by August 2017 and stock the dams with fingerlings from our nursery in the following month.

Together with the implementation of increased stocking density as previously announced, these new ponds will bring the Company's total expected production capacity to approximately 300 tonnes per annum. The Company continues to assess new sites for pond development and is currently working on three sites for potential future development.

Market Development - Domestic & International

Market development has been strong but is currently limited by availability of saleable stock. We still see strong demand in both Sydney and Melbourne Markets with two different demographics in these markets; with Sydney dominated by high end western restaurants and Melbourne sales predominantly into retail outlets and markets. This is somewhat a function of the distribution chains we are currently using in these two areas, but highlights the versatility of the product into different markets.

Exports are also limited by supply at this point but we are maintaining our monthly shipment to Singapore into the Genting Dream cruise liner.

Currently all sales are "Head on Gut In" fish but we are now starting to get significant enquiry for processed product. The Company is currently researching processing initiatives to be able to service these markets.
