Survival rates and expected heartwood yield Survival rates and expected heartwood yields have steadily increased over the history of our plantations, as depicted in the following worksheet. The majority of mortality occurs within the first 2 years of planting. This survival enhancement demonstrates how TFS has refined and improved its intellectual property and silvicultural techniques over time. It also demonstrates the embedded value of our plantations to TFS shareholders, MIS growers, and Beyond Carbon investors. TFS CORPORATION LTD 17
