This presentation is for general information purposes only and should be read in conjunction with the Appendix 4D lodged by SFG Australia Limited (SFG) with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) (ASX: SFW) on 27 February 2012. SFG was formerly known as Snowball Group Limited (ASX: SNO). This presentation does not purport to provide recommendations or opinions in relation to specific investments or securities.

The merger of Shadforth Financial Group Holdings Limited (Shadforth) and SFG (then Snowball Group Limited), and the relative size of Shadforth compared to SFG meant that the merger was treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. This means that the prior comparative period results in the statutory income statement reported by SFG is the statutory income statement results of Shadforth only, but the statutory balance sheet reported by SFG is the statutory balance sheet of the Combined Group in both periods. However, the financial performance of SFG on a stand alone basis for the prior comparative period is reported in the Appendix 4D lodged with the ASX on 27 February 2012. To provide a more meaningful overview of the Group going forward, this presentation primarily illustrates the Pro forma result of the merged group for the prior comparative period, as if SFG and Shadforth had been combined for the periods disclosed in this presentation.

This presentation has been prepared in good faith and with reasonable care. Neither SFG nor any other person makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, reasonableness or completeness of the contents of this presentation (including any projections, forecasts, estimates, prospects and returns, and any omissions from this presentation). To the maximum extent permitted by law, SFG and its respective officers, employees and advisers disclaim and exclude all liability for any loss or damage (whether or not foreseeable) suffered or incurred by any person acting on any information (including any projections, forecasts, estimates, prospects and returns) provided in, or omitted from, this presentation or any other written or oral information provided by or on behalf of SFG.

It is not intended that this presentation be relied upon and the information in this presentation does not take into account your financial objectives, situations or needs. Investors should consult with their own legal, tax, business and/or financial advisers in connection with any investment decision.

All numbers are as at 31 December 2011 unless otherwise stated.

1H12 Results – Key Highlights

• Merger of SFG and Shadforth effective 26 June 2011 – first trading period of merged entity

• Operating EBITDA, Underlying NPAT and EPS assisted by cost savings and synergies achieved in 1H12, and acquisitions completed

• Reported NPAT and EPS includes tax benefits not present in 1H11 and not likely to continue in the future2

• Interim dividend of 1.00c per share determined, fully franked. Dividend guidance re-stated to 50 – 70% of Underlying NPAT3

• Consistent with the broader industry experience, weak sentiment and a relative deterioration in market conditions continue to impact FUMA balances and “normal” organic growth – spot close ASX All Ordinaries Index down 15% on 1H11

1H12 Results 1H12 1H11

Pro forma Net Operating Revenue1 $57.8m 2%

Operating EBITDA $19.9m 5%

Underlying NPAT $13.6m 5%

Reported NPAT2 $13.5m 42%

Underlying EPS 1.87 2%

Reported EPS2 1.86 38%

DPS (fully franked) 1.00c 33%

FUM $4.0bn 6%

FUAdmin $9.2bn 7%

FUA $10.8bn 9%

Sound result in continued weak market conditions, assisted by acquisitions

4 1. Net Operating Revenue differs from Statutory Reporting – see Appendix for reconciliation. 2. The tax benefits are associated with the Purchase Price Allocation of the merger and Rights to Future Income (RTFI) legislation. We note the Government is currently considering selective & retrospective RTFI legislation reversal, which may result in a reversal of the RTFI benefits booked by the Company. 3. Note, previously stated post merger as 60 – 70% of Reported NPAT. Refer slide 18 for explanation.

• Confirming expect to achieve stated cost savings and synergies from the merger:

– $5m in annualised synergies per annum, gross of integration costs, by FY13

– $1.8m cost savings benefit in FY12 (compared to prior year)

• Re-estimation has resulted in a net increase in expected synergies of approximately $3.7m in Operating EBITDA per annum, predominantly as a result of re-negotiation of the Group’s portfolio administration supply contracts

• In 1H12, SFG has achieved $1.2m in cost savings (FY12 run rate of $1.8m) and $0.7m in synergies, and expects to achieve $3.7m in total in 2H12

• In addition, the Group has achieved some incremental savings which are likely to be largely offset by some business ‘renovation’ spend throughout FY12

• 1H12 Operating EBITDA assisted by savings and synergies achieved to date, and acquisitions completed3

• Change on 2H11 results shown here as an indication of direction (but note expected incremental Operating EBITDA and market conditions on slide 15)

• Underlying NPAT considered a meaningful indicator of the underlying performance and cash generating capability of the Group

• Reported NPAT and EPS include tax benefits predominantly associated with the Purchase Price Allocation of the merger, and RTFI legislation – not present in 1H11, and not likely to continue into the future4

• One-off items consist primarily of integration costs • Acquisitions costs relate to acquisitions in the

pipeline, executed, and those discontinued • Future amortisation expenses expected to be

materially in line with 1H12 result (ex future acquisitions)

• Notional funding costs relate to the deferred payments on the acquisition of the Symetry revenue rights – two payments remain and due in FY14 and FY16

12 1. Note: 1H11 is presented as Pro forma. 2. Net Operating Revenue and Expenses differ from Statutory Reporting – see Appendix for reconciliation. 3. Acquisitions completed include Western Pacific Cleveland Practice (Cleveland), the Symetry Portfolio Service platform revenue rights (Symetry), and the Melbourne based wealth management practice (“Jeena”). 4. We note the Government is currently considering selective & retrospective RTFI legislation reversal, which may result in a reversal of the RTFI benefits booked by the Company.

“Best Interests” duty

• SFG advice businesses have always operated from a ‘client first’ perspective

• Program in place to develop internal procedures and checks to implement for 1 July 2012

Immaterial impact – increased administration

Disclosure of fees & “Opt in” – renewal of advice agreement

• Client service proposition means regular contact with core client base and already transparency of disclosures

• Working on bottom end of client base value propositions to ensure relationships “stick” under opt in, some revenue at risk over time

• Specific grandfathering applies to opt in

Strong client relationships and

grandfathering provide mitigation, but some

residual risk to revenue

Abolish commissions, volume rebates & other conflicted payments

• Grandfathering proposed to apply – but details scarce • Commissions no longer a material component of revenue • Mosaic now RE of the Strategic Trusts, removing exposure • Symetry arrangements provide optionality to become trustee and

/or operator of administration platform if desirable • Further response scenario planning – need finalisation of MySuper

and FoFA in relation to the Group’s Corporate Super FUA

Response / Options in hand – need to see final

legislation in order to implement optimal

solutions

Enhance scaled advice / make advice more accessible

• SFG has historically targeted HNW and Affluent segments of the market, providing full service advice

• Group currently enhancing scalable advice offers, utilising the same infrastructure, for low end client balances and Corporate Superannuation clients

Pending final details, Group is well placed to

exploit the future opportunity

Reform responses – Update Tactical & Strategic responses: need final legislation to determine optimal solutions

• High quality, client focused financial advice business with a robust and flexible business model

– Platform and portfolio solutions distinguishes the Group from all smaller competitors

– Breadth and depth of client relationships distinguishes the Group from larger competitors

• Cyclical headwinds but industry fundamentals underpin long-term growth

• Scale and diversification – 1H12: $10.8bn in FUA; $9.2bn in FUAdmin; $4.0bn in FUM

• Upgraded synergies: on track to deliver $10.5m in annualised cost savings and synergies in FY13, gross of integration costs

– 1H12 savings and synergies achieved of $1.9m, and 2H12 expected to be $3.7m

• Assuming 1H12 FUMA levels, 2H12 Operating EBITDA expected to be net $2.0m higher than 1H12 (including benefit of savings and synergies)

• Well prepared but cautious regarding final outcomes of the regulatory reforms, and effect on the value chain as a whole

• Net non-leveraged balance sheet (clarification on RTFI required) and strong operating cashflows

• Experienced management team ready to capture opportunities, implement regulatory reform responses and, with the integration on track, “deal ready” to consider further transformational transactions

FY12: Looking forward A leading non-aligned financial advice & end-to-end wealth management firm, well

positioned to capture upside when market conditions improve
