This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously
quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been prepared in
accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act.  It does not contain the
same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus.  In making
representations in this Prospectus regard has been had to the fact that the
Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and
certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and
professional advisers whom potential investors may consult.

3.1

Risk factors

Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Securities in the
Company involves a number of risks.  The key risk factors of which investors
should be aware are set out in Section 4 of this Prospectus.  These risks together
with other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities not
specifically referred to, may affect the value of the Shares in the future.
Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly
speculative.  Investors should consider consulting their professional advisers
before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and
operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events
and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.
Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other
important factors, many of which are beyond the control of our Company, the
Directors and our management.

All of the Shares offered under this Prospectus will rank equally with the Shares on

information regarding the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares.
All of the New Options offered under this Prospectus will be issued on the terms
and conditions set out in Section 6.2 of this Prospectus.
All Shares issued on conversion of the New Options will rank equally with the
Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus.
The purpose of the Offer and the intended use of funds raised are set out in
Section 5.1 of this Prospectus.

4.2 Minimum subscription

As the Offer is fully underwritten, there is no minimum subscription under the
Offer.

4.3 Acceptance

Your acceptance of the Offer must be made on the Entitlement and
Acceptance Form accompanying this Prospectus.  Your acceptance must not
exceed your Entitlement as shown on that form.  If it does, your acceptance will
be deemed to be for the maximum Entitlement.
You may participate in the Offer as follows:
  • (a) if you wish to accept your full Entitlement:

  • (i) complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and

  • (ii) attach your cheque, drawn on an Australian bank or bank draft made payable in Australian currency, for the amount indicated on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form; or

  • (b) if you only wish to accept part of your Entitlement:

6
3293-04/804900_1
  • (i) fill in the number of Shares you wish to accept in the space provided on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and

  • (ii) attach your cheque, drawn on an Australian bank or bank draft made payable in Australian currency, for the appropriate application monies (at $0.035 per Share); or

  • (c) if you do not wish to accept all or part of your Entitlement, you are not obliged to do anything.

The Offer is non-renounceable.  Accordingly, a Shareholder may not sell or
transfer all or part of their Entitlement.
1 New Option with an exercise price of $0.09 and an expiry date of 30
September 2015 will be issued for every 1 Share  subscribed for and issued under
the Offer.

4.4 Payment by cheque/bank draft

All cheques must be drawn on an Australian bank or bank draft made payable
in Australian currency to “Naracoota Resources Ltd – Entitlement Issue Account”
and crossed “Not Negotiable”.
Your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and cheque must reach the
Company’s share registry no later than 5.00pm WST on the Closing Date.

4.5 Payment by BPAY®

For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and
Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the
holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY®
transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:
  • (a) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and

  • (b) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your application monies.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the share registry by no later than 4.00pm (WST) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement either cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. Any application monies received for more than your final allocation of Shares (only where the amount is $1.00 or greater) will be refunded. No interest will be paid on any application monies received or refunded.

4.6

Underwriting

The Offer is conditionally underwritten by the Underwriter.  Refer to Section 8.4.1
of this Prospectus for details of the terms of the underwriting.
7
3293-04/804900_1

4.7 Effect on control of the Company

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Underwriter holds a relevant interest in no
Shares giving it no voting power in the Company.
The Underwriter has agreed to fully underwrite the Offer pursuant to the terms of
the Underwriting Agreement. As a term of the Underwriting Agreement, the
Underwriter’s obligations are conditional on the Offer being fully sub-
underwritten.
In the event that the Offer is not fully subscribed (including through applications
for Shortfall Shares), a Shortfall will result and the Underwriter will be entitled to
procure subscription for some or all of that Shortfall from third parties (such as
sub-underwriters) or will subscribe for some or all of that Shortfall on its own
account. At the date of this Prospectus it is not possible to confirm whether there
will be any Shortfall Shares, as this will depend on whether Shareholders accept
their Entitlement under the Offer.
As the Underwriter’s obligations are fully sub-underwritten, unless all of the sub-
underwriting agreements are terminated, in which case the Underwriter will likely
terminate the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter does not intend to hold
any voting power in the Company following the Offer.
Shareholders should also note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their
holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 50% (as compared to their
holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus) after
the completion of the Offer. Examples of how the dilution may impact
Shareholders assuming no Options have been exercised is set out in the table
below:
Holder Holding as
at Record
date
% at Record
Date
Entitlements
under the Offer
Holdings if
Offer not
taken Up
% post Offer
Shareholder 1 10,000,000 21.04% 10,000,000 10,000,000 10.52%
Shareholder 2 5,000,000 10.52% 5,000,000 5,000,000 5.26%
Shareholder 3 1,500,000 3.16% 1,500,000 1,500,000 1.58%
Shareholder 4 400,000 0.84% 400,000 400,000 0.42%
Shareholder 5 50,000 0.11% 50,000 50,000 0.05%
Total 47,536,676 95,073,352
Notes:
1. The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the
assumption that those Entitlements not accepted are placed under the Shortfall
Offer.  In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting
Shortfall was not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not
accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.

4.8 Shortfall Offer

Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Offer will form the Shortfall Offer.
The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will
remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date.  The issue price
for each Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.035 being the
price at which Shares have been offered under the Offer.
8
3293-04/804900_1
The Directors reserve the right to issue Shortfall Securities at their absolute
discretion.  Accordingly, do not apply for Shortfall Securities unless instructed to
do so by the Directors.

4.9

ASX listing

Application for Official Quotation of the Securities offered pursuant to this
Prospectus will be made in accordance with the timetable set out at the
commencement of this Prospectus.  If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of
the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of 3
months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the
ASIC), the Company will not issue any Securities and will repay all application
monies for the Securities within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act,
without interest.
The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Securities is not to be
taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Securities
now offered for subscription.

4.10 Allotment

Securities issued pursuant to the Offer will be allotted in accordance with the
ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus.
Securities issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be allotted on a progressive
basis.  Where the number of Shares issued is less than the number applied for, or
where no allotment is made surplus application monies will be refunded without
any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the closing date of the
Shortfall Offer.
Pending the allotment and issue of the Securities or payment of refunds pursuant
to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for
the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act.
The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the
bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.
Holding statements for Securities issued under the Offer will be mailed in
accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the
commencement of this Prospectus and for Shortfall Securities issued under the
Shortfall Offer as soon as practicable after their issue.

4.11 Overseas shareholders

This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or
jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make
such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of
overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the
number and value of Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost
of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction.
Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Shares will not be issued to
Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or
New Zealand.
The Offer is being made in New Zealand pursuant to the Securities act (Overseas
Companies) Exemption Notice 2002.
9
3293-04/804900_1
Shareholders resident in Australia or New Zealand holding Shares on behalf of
persons who are resident overseas are responsible for ensuring that taking up an
Entitlement under the Offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas
jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will
be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no
breach of those regulations.

4.12 Placement

As announced to ASX on 30 August 2012, the Company also intends on undertaking a placement of 42,857,142 Shares in order to raise (approximately) a further $1,500,000 ( Placement ). The Placement is subject to prior Shareholder approval being granted at a general meeting of the Company’s Shareholders to be held on a date after the date of this Prospectus. The Shareholders’ meeting is expected to be held in early October.

Fleming SG Capital Pty Ltd ( Fleming ) as Corporate Authorised Representative (Rep No 345960) of St George Capital Pty Ltd (AFSL 300641) and manager of the Fleming SG Special Opportunities Fund ( SG Fund ) has agreed with the Company to take up 27,500,000 Shares under the Placement. This will result in Fleming holding a relevant interest in approximately 19.94% of the issued capital of the Company after completion of Offer and the Placement. Further details in respect of the SG Fund are set out in Section 8.4.

4.13 Enquiries

Any questions concerning the Offer should be directed to Josh Puckridge,

3. Working capital will be utilised to meet the day to day expenses of the Company including rents, wages and other administrative costs.

The above tables are statements of current intentions as of the date of this
Prospectus.  As with any budget, intervening events (including exploration
success or failure) and new circumstances have the potential to affect the
manner in which the funds are ultimately applied.  The Board reserves the right
to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.

6. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES

6.1 Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching
to Shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus.  This summary is not
exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and
liabilities of Shareholders.  To obtain such a statement, persons should seek
independent legal advice.
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the
Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s
registered office during normal business hours.

(a) General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney
or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the
Company.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D
of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any
class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes
of shareholders:
  • (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c) Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of
the holders of any shares created or raised under any special
arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time
declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the
dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the
proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts
paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such
Shares.
16
3293-04/804900_1
The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim
dividends as they may determine.  No dividend shall carry interest as
against the Company.  The Directors may set aside out of the profits of
the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be
applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the
profits of the Company may be properly applied.
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company
may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment
plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which
provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to
time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend
reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either
pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain,
be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of
Shares.

(d) Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a
special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or
any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set
such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and
may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the
Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the
whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for
the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no
Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in
respect of which there is any liability.

(e) Shareholder liability

As the Shares issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to
any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become
liable for forfeiture.

(f) Transfer of shares

Generally, shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to
formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a
contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia
and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the
ASX Listing Rules.

(g) Future increase in capital

The allotment and issue of any new Shares is under the control of the
Directors of the Company.  Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of
Securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the
Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously
conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the
Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion,
determine.

(h) Variation of rights

17
3293-04/804900_1
Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the
sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders
vary or abrogate the rights attaching to shares.
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares,
the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms
of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being
wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of
the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if
authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the
holders of the shares of that class.
  • (i) Alteration of constitution
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be
amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of
Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting.  In addition, at
least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the
resolution as a special resolution must be given.

6.2 Options

The New Options to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus entitle the holder to
subscribe for Shares on the following terms and conditions:
  • (a) Subject to paragraph (k) , each New Option gives the Optionholder the right to subscribe for one Share.

  • (b) The New Options will expire at 5.00pm (WST) on 30 September 2015 ( Expiry Date ). Any New Option not exercised before the Expiry Date will automatically lapse.

  • (c) The amount payable upon exercise of each New Option is 9 cents ( Exercise Price ).

  • (d) The New Options held by each Optionholder may be exercised in whole or in part, and if exercised in part, multiples of 1,000 must be exercised on each occasion.

  • (e) An Optionholder may exercise their New Options by lodging with the Company, before the Expiry Date:

  • (i) a written notice of exercise of New Options specifying the number of New Options being exercised ( Exercise Notice ); and

  • (ii) a cheque or electronic funds transfer for the Exercise Price for the number of New Options being exercised.

  • (f) An Exercise Notice is only effective when the Company has received the full amount of the Exercise Price in cleared funds.

  • (g) Within 10 Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice accompanied by the Exercise Price, the Company will allot the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of New Options specified in the Exercise Notice.

  • (k) If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of an Optionholder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reconstruction.

  • (l) There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the New Options and Optionholders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the New Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 7 Business Days after the issue is announced. This will give Optionholders the opportunity to exercise their New Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  • (m) Other than as contemplated by paragraph (k), a New Option does not confer the right to a change in exercise price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the New Option can be exercised.

7. RISK FACTORS

7.1 Introduction

The Securities offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative.
An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly
recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below,
together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult
their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities
pursuant to this Prospectus.
There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business.  In
addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the
control of the Company and the Directors.  The risks identified in this section, or
other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of
the Company and the market price of the Securities.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which
the Company is exposed.

7.2 Company specific

(a) Potential for significant dilution

Upon implementation of the Offer, assuming all Entitlements are
accepted and no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date the
number of Shares in the Company will increase from 47,536,676 currently
on issue to 95,073,352.  This means that each Share will represent a
significantly lower proportion of the ownership of the Company.
It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company or a Share
will be following the completion of the Offer being implemented and
the Directors do not make any representation as to such matters.

(b) Limited interest and co-existence

The Company’s interest in certain tenements is limited to gold rights only,
and the Company does not have any contractual right to earn any
registrable interest in those tenements. Accordingly, the only right that
the Company has to protect its interest in the gold rights on those
tenements is by lodging a caveat over the tenements under the Mining
Act 1972 (WA). A caveat prevents the registration of any transfer or
mortgage over the tenements without first giving notice to the
Company.
In addition, the Company has contractual rights and obligations in
relation to the co-existence, exploration and potentially mining on the
tenements. Pursuant to these rights and obligations, the Company is
required to notify the holder of the tenement in relation to its proposed
exploration programmes on the tenements to ensure that they do not
conflict or encroach on the exploration or mining areas of the tenement
holder. There is a risk that the Company may not be able to complete
all of its preferred exploration programmes in its preferred timetable or
at all, as a result of the exploration activities of the holder of the
tenement.

(c) No JORC compliant resource

20
3293-04/804900_1
The Company has not currently defined a JORC compliant resource on
any of its tenements. Further exploration is required to determine the
extent of the Company’s potentially viable gold deposits on all of the
tenements.
There can be no assurance that exploration of the Company’s
tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired by the
Company in the future, will result in the discovery of a JORC compliant
resource.

7.3 Mining Industry specific

(a) Exploration Success

The Company’s tenements are at various stages of exploration, and
potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and
development are high risk undertakings.
There can be no assurance that exploration of the Company’s
tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future,
will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an
apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can
be economically exploited.
The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a
range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities
due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and
technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title
processes, changing government regulations and many other factors
beyond the control of the Company.
The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company
having access to sufficient development capital, being able to
maintain title to its Tenements and obtaining all required approvals for its
activities. In the event that exploration programmes prove to be
unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the
tenements, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and
possible relinquishment of the Tenements.

(b) Failure to satisfy expenditure commitments

Interests in tenements in Western Australia are governed by the Mining
Act 1978 (WA) and are evidenced by the granting of licenses or leases.
Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual
expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions
requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or
its interest in the Tenements if any licence conditions are not met or if
insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.
The Company considers that given the number of tenements that it
currently has an interest in, the Company will have sufficient funds to
meet the expenditure commitments on its Tenements.

(c) The Company may be unable to obtain environmental approvals

The Company's exploration programmes will, in general, be subject to
approval by State and Federal governmental authorities.  Development
of any of the Company's properties will be dependent on the project
21
3293-04/804900_1
meeting environmental guidelines and, where required, being
approved by governmental authorities.

(d) Environmental Bonds

The Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum
(Department) from time to time reviews the environmental bonds that
are placed on tenements.  The Directors are not in a position to state
whether a review is imminent or whether the outcome of such a review
would be detrimental to the funding needs of the Company.

(e) A commercial return may not be achievable

Even if the Company discovers commercial quantities of minerals, there
is a risk that the Company will not achieve a commercial return. The
Company may not be able to transport the minerals at a reasonable
cost or may not be able to sell the minerals to customers at a price
which would cover its operating and capital costs. The Company will
also need to receive regulatory approval to convert its existing
exploration licenses into mining leases. There is a risk that this approval
may not be obtained.

(f)

Native Title

The Tenements extend over areas in which legitimate common law
native title rights of indigenous Australians exist. The ability of the
Company to gain access to its tenements and conduct exploration,
development and mining operations remains subject to native title rights
and the terms of registered native title agreements.
The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims
involving the tenements in which the Company has or may have an
interest.

7.4 General risks

(a) Economic

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates
and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the
Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well
as on its ability to fund those activities.

(b)

Market conditions

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s
quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance.
Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
  • general economic outlook;

  • introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;

  • interest rates and inflation rates;

  • changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

22
3293-04/804900_1

terrorism or other hostilities.

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject
to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in
general and resource exploration stocks in particular.  Neither the
Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the
Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

(c) Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors.
Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its
operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to
amounts raised under the Offer.  Any additional equity financing will
dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve
restrictions on financing and operating activities.  If the Company is
unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to
reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration
programmes as the case may be.  There is however no guarantee that
the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able
to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

(d) Dividends

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the
Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on
the financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements
and general business and other factors considered relevant by the
Directors.  No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or
franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.

(e) Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences,
which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each
investor.  All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain
independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring
Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and
each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility
with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Shares
under this Prospectus.

(f) Reliance on key personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the
strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its
senior management and its key personnel.  There can be no assurance
given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or
more of these employees cease their employment.

7.5 Speculative investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks
faced by the Company or by investors in the Company.  The above factors, and
others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the
23
3293-04/804900_1
financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered
under this Prospectus
Therefore, the Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no
guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the
market value of those Securities.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is
speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding
whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

8.1 Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the
Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and,
as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations.  Specifically,
like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any
information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to
have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.
This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”.  In general terms a
“transaction specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in

information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does
not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an
initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock

whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are
reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and
specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3
months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify
ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the
purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market
conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this
Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this
Prospectus complete.

  • (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

  • (b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can
be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office
hours.
Details of documents lodged by the Company with ASX since the date of
lodgement of the Company’s latest annual financial report and before the
lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC are set out in the table below.

Fleming will not be paid a fee for taking up Shares under the Placement.

Remuneration

The remuneration of an executive Director is decided by the Board, without the
affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process.  The
total maximum remuneration of non-executive Directors is initially set by the
Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in
general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and
the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable.  The determination of non-executive
Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having
regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions
by each non-executive Director.  The current amount has been set at an
amount not to exceed $250,000 per annum.
A Director may be paid fees or other amounts (i.e.  non-cash performance
incentives such as Options, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval) as
the other Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or
otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a
Director.  In addition, Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling,
hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the
performance of their duties as Directors.

both executive and non-executive directors as well as the Proposed Directors.

8.9 Electronic prospectus

Pursuant to Class Order 00/44, the ASIC has exempted compliance with certain
provisions of the Corporations Act to allow distribution of an electronic
prospectus and electronic application form on the basis of a paper prospectus
lodged with the ASIC, and the publication of notices referring to an electronic
prospectus or electronic application form, subject to compliance with certain
conditions.
35
3293-04/804900_1
If you have received this Prospectus as an electronic Prospectus, please ensure
that you have received the entire Prospectus accompanied by the Application
Forms.  If you have not, please phone the Company on +61 9200 5858 and the
Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy
of the Prospectus, or both.  Alternatively, you may obtain a copy of this
Prospectus from the Company’s website at www.naracoota.com.au.
The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a
person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the
electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic
Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any
of those documents were incomplete or altered.

8.10 Financial forecasts

The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170
and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings
on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain.
Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad
range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a
reliable best estimate forecast or projection.

8.11 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company will not be issuing share or option certificates.  The Company is a
participant in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring
stockbroker.  Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be
issuer sponsored by the Company.  Because the sub-registers are electronic,
ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper
documentation.
Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to
investors.  Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank
account statement) that sets out the number of Shares allotted to them under
this Prospectus.  The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification
Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference,
the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.
Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any
changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

8.12

Privacy Act

If you complete an application for Securities, you will be providing personal
information to the Company (directly or by the Company’s share registry).  The
Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application,
service your needs as a holder of equity securities in the Company, facilitate
distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder
and carry out administration.
The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons
inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers,
regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities
brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company’s share registry.
You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold
about you.  Please contact the Company or its share registry if you wish to do so
at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.
36
3293-04/804900_1
Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is
governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the
Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the
application for Securities, the Company may not be able to accept or process
your application.
