RESULTS

CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT

Revenue from the Company's renewable natural gas facilities increased by $17.8 million 
or 24.6% for the year ended 31 March 2018 from the prior year. The Company produced 
3.9 million MMBtus in renewable natural gas volumes, an increase of 0.5% over the 
prior year. During the year ended 31 March 2018 the Company self-marketed 17.2 million 
RINs, a 6.8 million decrease from the prior year. The decrease is attributable to a 
shift in monetisation strategy to increase volumes sold under floor price agreements. 
At 31 March 2018 the Company had 0.6 million RINs generated and unsold in inventory, 
0.3 million lower than at 31 March 2017. Average commodity pricing for natural gas 
during the year ended 31 March 2018 was 9.5% higher than the prior year. Average pricing 
realised on RIN sales during the year ended 31 March 2018 was 43.9% higher than average 
pricing realised in the prior year, partially attributed to the increase in the 
cellulosic waiver credit from calendar year 2016 ($1.33) to calendar years 2017 ($2.00) 
and 2018 ($1.96). For the year ended 31 March 2018, 29.6% of revenue from renewable 
natural gas production was monetised at fixed prices.

Revenue from the Company's electric generation facilities increased by $2.1 million 
or 12.1% for the year ended 31 March 2018 from the prior year. The Company produced 
0.3 million MWh in renewable electric volumes, approximately equal to the prior year. 
Average commodity pricing for electricity during the year ended 31 March 2018 was 
15.8% higher than the prior year. For the year ended 31 March 2018, 82.3% of revenue 
from renewable electricity production was monetised at fixed prices.

Operating expenses for the year ended 31 March 2018 increased by $4.2 million or 8.1%. 
The increase is largely attributed to non-capitalisable optimisation costs for the 
Bowerman electric generation facility. The gains recognised from the Company's hedging 
programmes for the year ended 31 March 2018 were $0.2 million, approximately equal to 
the prior year.

During the year ended 31 March 2018 the Company realised other income of $3.5 million, 
largely attributable to settlement proceeds from arbitration. 

In August 2017 the Company recognised $1.6 million in expenses related to the early 
extinguishment of debt. Total cash paid associated with this expense was $1.1 million.

For the year ended 31 March 2018 the Company recognised $15.8 million in tax expense, 
of which $14.7 million was off-set against the Company's deferred tax asset.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND CASH FLOW

Fixed and intangible assets at 31 March 2018 include $35.6 million and $0.9 million in 
costs related to the construction of two renewable natural gas facilities, respectively. 
Deferred tax assets of $11.0 million at 31 March 2018 relate to the Company's net 
operating losses that may be utilised for set-off against future taxable income.

In July 2017 the Company paid in full the outstanding $8.8 million balance on its 
existing term loan. In August 2017 the Company paid in full the outstanding balance 
of $0.5 million on its existing revolving credit facility.

In August 2017 the Company entered into a credit agreement with a commercial bank, 
which provided for a three-year term loan facility in the amount of $20.0 million and 
a three-year $20.0 million revolving credit facility. 

In August 2017 Bowerman Power LFG, LLC ("Bowerman"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, 
entered into a credit agreement with a commercial bank, which provided for a five-year 
term loan facility in the amount of $27.5 million and a five-year revolving credit 
facility in the amount of $10.0 million. Bowerman used the proceeds from the term 
loan of $27.5 million, $1.8 million from the revolving credit facility and $10.0 million 
of restricted deposits to repay all indebtedness outstanding and related prepayment 
costs under the existing construction to term loan agreement. In March 2018 Bowerman 
paid in full the outstanding balance of $1.8 million on its revolving credit facility. 

The Company's combined borrowings at 31 March 2018 were $42.9 million, net of debt 
issuance costs. $17.7 million was outstanding on the Company's commercial bank facilities, 
and $25.9 million was outstanding on the Bowerman commercial bank facilities. Of the 
total Company borrowings outstanding at 31 March 2018, $6.9 million is currently due 
within the next 12 months. At 31 March 2018 the effective borrowing rates on amounts 
outstanding were 4.56% on the Company's commercial bank facilities and 5.23% on the 
Bowerman commercial bank facilities.

Cash flow from operating activities of $48.1 million for the year ended 31 March 2018 
was $22.7 million higher than the prior year. Included in cash flow from investing 
activities was asset additions of $38.9 million and $7.8 million of net changes in 
restricted deposits in conjunction with debt refinancing. As of 31 March 2018 the 
Company had cash on hand of $29.0 million and $13.7 million and $8.0 million capacities 
remaining under the Company's corporate and Bowerman revolving credit facilities, 
respectively.


CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT

At Montauk we are very proud to be a leader in the renewable energy industry - an industry 
that is at the forefront of the sustainability movement through the capture and beneficial 
use of organically generated methane. Methane, with a global warming potential 25 times 
greater than CO2, is a potent greenhouse gas that is a key contributor to global climate 
change. The Company captures methane, preventing it from being released into the 
atmosphere, converts it into renewable natural gas ("RNG"), and sells the RNG for use 
as a vehicle fuel and for electricity generation.

Business Overview

The business, with all of its social and environmental qualities, can be difficult at 
times due to the inherent higher production costs of RNG, as compared to fossil fuel-
based energy producers. Factors such as climate, waste intake, and waste composition 
all impact production of RNG. Additionally, the process to recover and convert raw 
biogas into RNG is capital intensive.

The pricing of the various types of renewable energy produced by the Group is an ever-
changing balance between the underlying energy commodity price and any associated 
environmental attribute premiums that can be realised. With electricity and natural 
gas commodity pricing in the US having been depressed for several years while still 
maintaining a relatively high degree of short-term volatility, the premiums associated 
with the various environmental attributes produced have become, and will continue to 
be, a major factor in the profitability of the business. 

In this market our focus will continue to be to position the Company and its facilities 
to capitalise on and leverage the opportunities that develop in the renewable energy 
markets. The evolving federal and state regulatory environments mandating the use of 
renewable fuels can lead to opportunities that allow existing projects to capture 
additional premiums as they become available. To that end the Company has made the 
decision to remain flexible in its offtake contract strategy with the goal of capturing 
and maximising value from these programmes.

Environmental Attribute Programmes

RNG derived from landfill methane, agricultural digesters and waste water treatment 
facilities used as a vehicle fuel qualifies as a D3 cellulosic Renewable Identification 
Number ("RIN") under the United States Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") 
Renewable Fuel Standard ("RFS") programme. The RFS is a US federal law that requires 
transportation fuel to contain a minimum volume of renewable fuel. RINs are compliance 
units for fuel blenders, created as part of the RFS to promote renewable fuel 
utilisation for the purpose of achieving significant greenhouse gas reductions, 
reducing imported petroleum and developing the renewable fuel sector in the US. 
One MMBtu of RNG represents approximately 11.7 RINs. The RFS programme does not have 
a sunset date and remains in effect absent Congressional action to reform or eliminate 
it. The EPA administers the RFS programme and sets annual volume standards for 
renewable fuel ("RVO"). As a result the Company has participated in the programme 
since 2015 and looks for opportunities to increase its participation in the RFS 
programme as production from RNG facilities becomes available. While the RFS allows 
for RNG produced anywhere in the US to qualify and potentially offer premiums 
significantly in excess of commodity prices for natural gas, uncertainty as to how the 
RFS will continue to be administered and supported by the EPA and the current  
Presidential Administration has impacted the stabilisation of the RIN market, 
resulting in price volatility and limited ability to sell RINs on a forward basis. 
Although the market remains relatively illiquid, the Company has been able to 
successfully monetise blocks of D3 cellulosic RINs at pricing levels commensurate 
with general market conditions.

In November 2017 the EPA released the final volume obligations for 2018 of 288 million 
gallons cellulosic D3 RINs, representing a 7.4% decrease over the 2017 volume 
obligations for cellulosic D3 RINs of 311 million gallons. Based in part on the RNG 
industry producing 250 million gallons in 2017 versus the 311 million gallon RVO, 
the EPA used a new "rate of growth" methodology to set the 2018 RVO. By comparing 
D3 RIN generation for the 12-month period of October 2016 to September 2017 to the 
12-month period of October 2015 to September 2016, the EPA arrived at a 21.6% growth 
factor used to determine the 2018 RVO. The issuance by the EPA of timely and sufficient 
annual volume obligations to accommodate the RNG industry's growing production levels 
are paramount to the stabilisation of the RIN market. Notwithstanding the growth of 
the RNG space, given the environmental premiums available for the prior two years, 
the Company remains, and expects to remain, a significant contributor to the overall 
generation of D3 RINs in the RFS programme. Set forth below is the total RIN 
generation per calender year from Montauk's RNG portfolio regardless of the monetisation 
strategy employed:

The Low Carbon Fuel Standard ("LCFS") programme is a state-specific fuel policy designed 
to encourage the use of cleaner low-carbon fuels. The programme, which encourages the 
production of such fuels, sets annual carbon intensity (CI) standards, which reduce 
over time, for gasoline diesel, and other fuel substitutes. Currently, two states, 
California and Oregon, have adopted the programme. To the extent that RNG from Montauk's 
facilities is used as a transportation fuel in states that have adopted a LCFS programme, 
it is eligible to receive an environmental attribute additional to the RIN value under 
the federal RFS. 

The environmental premiums associated with renewable energy produced by Montauk's 
electric facilities are centred on various state renewable portfolio standards, 
requiring that a stated percentage of the electricity produced in that state comes 
from a renewable resource. Such premiums are in the form of renewable energy credits 
("RECs"). The value and requirements for each state programme vary widely, which can 
limit the ability of similar facilities located in different states from having a 
similar pricing structure. In addition, only 29 states and the District of Columbia 
have adopted renewable portfolio standards.

Development Activities

In October 2016 the Company entered into an agreement with one of its existing landfill 
counterparties to convert an existing renewable electric project to a RNG facility by 
building, owning and operating a RNG facility at a landfill in Texas for a term of 
20 years from commercial operation. Commercial operation of this RNG facility is still 
targeted to commence in the first quarter of the 2019 financial year and the electric 
generation facility has been decommissioned. RNG from this facility has been contracted 
for use in the transportation sector to allow for the generation of RINs under the 
RFS and will commence upon final EPA registration under the RFS and Quality Assurance 
Plan designation is anticipated in the second quarter of the 2019 financial year.

In June 2017 the Company entered into an agreement with a new landfill counterparty to 
operate the gas collection system and build, own and operate a RNG facility at a landfill 
located in Ohio for a term of 20 years from commercial operation. Commercial operation 
of this RNG project is still targeted to commence in the first half of the 2019 financial 
year. Upon commercial operation, the output from this new RNG facility has been 
contracted for use in the transportation sector to allow for the generation of RINs 
under the RFS.

In April 2018 the Company entered into an agreement with one of its existing landfill 
counterparties to operate the gas collection system and build, own and operate a RNG 
facility at a landfill located in Texas for a term of 20 years from commercial operation. 
Upon commercial operation, the output from this new RNG facility is intended to be 
contracted for use in the transportation sector to allow for the generation of RINs 
under the RFS. Commercial operation at this RNG project is targeted to commence in the 
first quarter of the 2020 financial year.

These additions will further strengthen Montauk's position as a leader in the production 
of renewable RNG from landfill methane.

Montauk uses a three-year trailing average of landfill gas production as part of its 
forecast of gas control and collection system ("GCCS") output for each subsequent 
financial year. In financial year 2018 the winter was unusually cold and wet, particularly 
compared to the last several financial years which were uncharacteristically mild. 
In addition, day-to-night fluctuations cause movement of wells and GCCS components, 
affecting quantity, as well as precipitating swings in gas quality and the need for 
continuous GCCS tuning. These factors impacted landfill gas production for the financial 
year, especially for Montauk's facilities located in the North Eastern US.

Gas rights agreements

A critical component of the Company's business is its ability to negotiate and maintain 
long-term gas rights agreements. Montauk has nurtured excellent working relationships 
with our waste management company hosts and actively looks to strategically extend gas 
rights at our project sites. Set forth below is a summary of the expiration periods of 
those agreements:

2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "2017 Tax Act") was signed into law on 22 December 2017. 
The 2017 Tax Act significantly revises the US corporate income tax by, among other things, 
lowering the statutory corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The Company remeasured its 
federal deferred tax asset using the reduction in the US corporate income tax rate, 
resulting in tax expense of $5.5 million. The Company continues to explore additional 
tax credit opportunities (both at the state and federal level), as well as bonus 
depreciation opportunities to further reduce its effective tax rate.

Summary

In an industry that continues to experience depressed energy commodity pricing, management 
believes that Montauk is well-positioned to sustain its strategic growth by capturing 
both existing and emerging value from developing renewable energy markets in order to 
drive long-term entity value for its shareholders.
