3 UFC s History United Farmers Cooperative (UFC) is a farmer owned cooperative that was formed in 1915 in the town of Lafayette, Minnesota. At that time, it was formed as the Cooperative Creamery Association of Lafayette. Over the next 85 years, the cooperative would undergo many changes as the needs of the members that it served evolved to keep pace with the changing world. Some of the highlights over the decades were as follows: 1915 Cooperative was organized into Cooperative Creamery Association 1920 Produce department was added 1940 Locker plant and butcher shop was added 1960 s Ongoing construction with the addition of fertilizer blending equipment and bagging equipment for fertilizer products 1966 First grain elevator purchased in Lafayette 1968 Purchased and merged in the Klossner elevator facilities 1969 The two Elevator operations and the Farm Supply operations merged into a single operation. The creamery division was sold to Mid America Dairies The name of the organization was changed to The Farmers Cooperative of Lafayette Winthrop Farm Services and Elevator purchased 1986 Purchased the Norseland location from the dissolved Tri Ag.Co-op organization 1995 The Klossner Coop Oil Association was merged into the operation and the Name of the organization was changed to the current United Farmers Cooperative 1995 The new Livestock Service Center Opens greatly expanding the feed operations 1998 LeSueur Farmers Elevator was merged into the operation 2000 United Farmers Cooperative purchased a liquid Fertilizer Business from Anker s Inc in Gibbon Minnesota. Also purchased was the assets from Tri-County Builders of Gaylord to expand their building and construction business Complete redesign and reconstruction of LeSueur location. Built new retail franchise and opened Giant Valley Trading Company (GVTC) to address rapidly growing farm store market Purchased Turbes Oil Company and formed UDS (United Distribution Services) in Searles, Minnesota. This greatly increased petroleum volume and expanded UFC s service area Started our own insurance company Parthenon Risk Partners 2006 Ag-Land Co-op and UFC unified their operations into UFC s 2008 Hector Location Acquired 2010 Green Isle United Xpress Bird Island Merged in July 1, Working on new World Class Grain Terminal at Brownton MN
4 UFC Today Who We Are We are a member owned cooperative and have been since Profits go back to the members. We serve producers and consumers from a wide and expanding territory with sales over 230 million dollars in We are locally owned and locally controlled. We are involved in a very diverse business with operations in Grain, Feed, Agronomy, Seed, Energy, Farm Equipment, Grain System Construction and Convenience Stores. We employ over 200 people across the system.
5 Coop Finance Historical Perspective Co-ops relied on traditional capitalization methods Retained earnings, long term debt, etc Focus on Revolving Equity Managing allocated equity obligation at present, $600,000 annually pretty well handles estates and age 70/72 redemptions for the foreseeable future. Nice position to be in. But we also are not satisfied. We have an obligation to redeem equity as expeditiously as possible. Need patience this is a marathon not a sprint. Need urgency too for example, evolving culture from small co-op to a big co-op. Almost cannot happen fast enough. Is the old system sustainable? Producer & Consumer demands are endless and cost $$
6 Historical Financial Information FY2000 FY Year Total 12 Year Average Total Sales $48,798,322 $233,218,272 $1,354,760,480 $112,896,707 Interest Paid $763,555 $1,842,720 $14,541,745 $1,211,812 Local Margin $664,093 $4,230,466 $16,510,904 $1,375,909 Total Net Income Total Cash Paid to Members % Cash Paid of Local Margin Fixed Asset Acquisitions $857,474 $5,927,941 $26,673,014 $2,222,751 $426,966 $1,989,294 $13,114,838 $1,092,903 64% 47% 79% 79% $2,518,062 $2,841,385 $33,401,325 $2,783,444
7 Co-op Finance Future Needs Earnings and financial performance focus The absolute necessity of strong earnings Honor the commitments of the past. Must be able to perform at World Class levels Importance of a Plan for the Cooperative. Vision, Access to Capital, Creative Marketing, Execution Diversify sources of capital particularly equity capital-ufc now a 521 tax exempt co-op. Traditional & Non Traditional alike need balance. Local sourcing Use for Bird Island merger substitute for allocated equity; and, Raise cash from members and non-members Re-Inventing the cooperative model May need to look at cooperative partnerships differently

15 Vertical Partnerships - Success Partnered with Winfield Solutions to create first ever wholesale/retail facility partnership in 2009 Result of multi year study of logistics and inventory management by both UFC and Winfield. Developed 80,000 sq ft facility built on property adjacent to UFC headquarters, that serves UFC retail patrons as well as Winfield wholesale accounts. Resulting partnership and success of this project has now led to several more facilities being built across upper Midwest by Winfield.
16 Proposal Rationale UFC and Grain Partner create the new Grain Division. UFC Grain Systems LLC UFC contributes all of its current grain operations & facilities into the LLC. (appraised value = 20m, Book at 9.8m) Grain Partner contributes 15 million in cash Build new Shuttle Facility Cost = 27 million Creates New LLC with 50M in assets- (including working capital) Governed by Board of Directors UFC majority share holder Shared governance with grain partner LLC finances balance with term debt and/or local investment contributions. Total debt approximately 15 million
17 Proposal Rationale cont. This approach has the following advantages: UFC leverages its brand to buy grain. UFC does not compete with itself. Grain Partner s investment is more diversified because it shares in UFC s grain department profits regardless how the profits are generated including ethanol, livestock, soybean processors and of course export markets. LLC operates the grain operations, takes the risk of operating losses, and provides the working capital to operate. Grain partner brings global access to markets along with expertise and experience. UFC maintains a strong independent balance sheet.
