What Are Biologicals & Why Use Them?
4
What are they? Biologicals are microorganisms, plant extracts, pheromones, soaps, fatty acids & other natural substances lumped into three categories:
Why use them? Biologicals offer key benefits to manufacturers, growers & consumers:
Natural & Safe
• Environmentally friendly production
• Safe for growers/workers to handle
• Healthier for consumers to eat
• No residues (especially important for export markets)
More Effective
• Improved yields & quality
• Minimized risk of pest resistance
• Can be used in both organic production, as well as conventional farming
• Flexible production schedules
Shorter Timeline & Cost
• Faster time to market • ~4 years for biologicals vs. 10+
years for chemicals• EPA allows an expedited
registration for biologicals
• Significantly lower development cost (<$10M for biologicals vs. $280M for chemicals)
Biological Category Biopesticides Biostimulants Biofertilizers
Use Crop Protection Crop Protection Crop Nutrition
Regulatory EPA-Registered State Registered State Registered
New Entrants Few Many Many
MBI Products Yes (6 products) Target Market No
NASDAQ: MBIISmart. Natural. Solutions.
Since MBI’s products are also used in conventional farming, the current market opportunity for our 6 products exceeds $30B
The global biopesticides market in 2016 was $3.4B in 2016 & is projected to reach $8.8B by 20221
Biopesticides today hold only 5% of the total crop protection market, representing significant room for growth2
In a study conducted by UC Davis, the market for biopesticides in the cannabis industry is estimated to grow from $91M in 2016 to $1.4B in 20213
The biopesticide market is growing at a CAGR of 17.4% vs. ~2.0% in the chemical pesticide market4
Rapidly Growing, Multi-Billion $ Market

GAAP Revenue Product Shipments
Operating Expenses Gross Margins
Our GAAP revenue recognition policy requires us to defer some revenues to certain customers on the sell-through recognition method. We do not grant any return rights to these customers & deferred revenues are recognized over time. Cash is collected on normal terms, exactly the same as with our sell-in customers, & is not affected by this recognition method.
