Incense is a waste stream for the timber once the essential oils have been extracted. The value is in the oil not the timber. Incense is the greatest volume market for sandalwood fibre but the all the earnings come from the oil.

Investors want to see core samples from TFC's trees not Jon Brand's. Jon Brand's work was done with trees that were not grown in a system that has been replicated by TFC meaning there are variables that could affect oil yields.

"The reason that many core samples have not been taken is that the plants are valuable and core sampling before 14 years of age is risking the life of the plant." That is rubbish! Oil yields can now be measured using Near Infra-Red Spectrometres. A non invasive sampling procedure.
