service provider specialising in global satellite communications

― Operates as a reseller of third-party satellite capacity using

owned Teleports in Adelaide and Perth, Australia

― Provides remote and temporary sites with fast, secure and

reliable Internet, voice, data and video communications

Established and profitable current business:

― Market capitalisation of A$250M

― 22% average revenue growth over the last two years

― EBITDA of A$3.9m, FY12

Jabiru project to transform business from a “reseller” of satellite

capacity to an “owner” of satellites

― Expected to create a step-change in earnings and

significantly increase EBITDA margins once Jabiru is

operational

NewSat also holds an attractive portfolio of satellite slots, which

will form the basis for additional future satellite launches NewSat Orbital Slot

High Bandwidth Data Applications Expected to Drive Growth

Enterprise Data

Networking

Government and

Military Operations

3G / 4G Mobile

Backhaul

Reliance on time-sensitive data/connectivity

Growth in remote oil, gas and mining operations

Current customers of teleport business – we understand their service

requirement

Provides connectivity across multiple sites / operating locations

Backup for enterprise networks

Accredited to provide services to certain Governments / military

Increased utilisation of data-rich technologies (e.g. UAV’s)

Increasing Government reliance on private sector

Ongoing conflicts in Middle East / North Africa region

Small % of operating costs / defence budgets

Connectivity across multiple sites (e.g. mobile, airborne, maritime)

Critical to data service delivery

Expected growth in mobile data volume / smartphones in emerging

economies. Customers seek large bandwidth volumes

Limited existing network infrastructure capable of satisfying demands

Reliable connection into fixed/fibre networks. Cost effective

Ubiquitous rural and remote access

Rationale / Opportunity Existing customers / End Users

Established FSS Economic Model Providing Significant Potential Returns

Key Economics of Jabiru-1 Industry Fill Rate (1) and EBITDA Margin (2)

Capacity Pricing Over Middle East (3)

(%) Capacity: Jabiru-1 capacity 8.3GHz

Expected Year-1 Fill Rate: >60%

― Industry average 74% (’06 – ’10A)

― Pre-sales at a ~30% discount to market

― Long-term take-or-pay contracts

― No pre-sales of high value steerable beams (~8% of capacity) – reserved to sell on the spot market – expected higher pricing

Revenue: Jabiru-1 total annual capacity (US$MM p.a.)

Operating Costs: Fixed, marginal costs expected to be in-line with standard FSS operating model. Variable costs include insurance (including in-orbit insurance) and sales commissions

Depreciation: Straight-line over 15 years (deferred until launch)

Teleport & Jabiru-2: Ability to transfer existing supply arrangements to “owned” capacity on Jabiru-2 will expand margins
