This Replacement Prospectus is dated 7 November 2013 and was lodged with ASIC on that date. This Replacement Prospectus replaces a prospectus dated and lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) on 31 October 2013.

KEY RISK FACTORS SUMMARY

You should carefully consider the risks associated with an investment in PS&C before deciding to invest in the Company. An investment in Shares in PS&C involves a high degree of risk. If any of the following risks occur (or any of the other risks referred to in Section 5), the Company’s business, financial condition, profits and prospects for growth may suffer. As a result, you could lose all or part of your investment. For further information regarding these risks, refer to Section 5. Some of the key risks to PS&C’s business and to your investment in PS&C include (but are not limited to) the following:

Industry Growth Risks

The market segments that PS&C has identified as being integral to its success and growth, including but not limited to the government, mining and financial services sector, may experience either low or slower than expected growth.

Key Personnel

PS&C, like any services organisation, is dependent on its staff and management to be successful. There is a risk that the Company may fail to retain or develop key employees, consultants and contractors and this would have a negative effect upon the development of the Company and its operations, as well as the Company’s financial performance.

Industry Competition

The ICT services market is strongly contested by a number of well respected organisations. There is the risk that PS&C will be unable to compete effectively within this industry landscape. PS&C’s performance may be affected by the level of competition in the regions and industries in which it operates, which may result in general price reductions, reduced operating margins and a loss of market share. In addition, PS&C’s prospects for growth may suffer if it is unable to secure the quality and quantity of new employees or contractors it requires to facilitate its growth due to industry competition for these employees.

Level of work

A number of the Panel and Preferred Supplier Agreements, supply agreements and services agreements to which PS&C’s entities are a party rely on the issue of statements of work requesting products or services to be provided. These agreements themselves do not guarantee minimum levels of work, and there is a risk that the level of products and services requested by counterparties may decrease or cease entirely.

Contractual Risks

PS&C derives revenue from parties who are in contractual relationships with PS&C or its controlled entities. Under many of PS&C’s agreements the contractual relationship may be terminated without cause on relatively short notice periods.

Costs Overrun Risk

Costs of PS&C’s business operations and workforce may be greater than initially anticipated, including as a result of unexpected costs or higher than expected costs being incurred.

Technology Risks

There is a risk that, as marketable technologies continue to develop in the ICT industry, there may be certain ICT technology and product developments that supersede, and render obsolete, the existing product and service offerings of PS&C. This would negatively affect the Company’s profitability.

SECTION 2 COMPANY OVERVIEW

13

Replacement Prospectus

SECTION 2: COMPANY OVERVIEW

PS&C is an ICT professional services entity. The Company is focused on three business units: People, Security and Communications. These business units service a range of government and corporate organisations.

PS&C’s three business units have been formed through the acquisition of the following companies:

  • People - Systems and People which comprises the “People” business unit;

  • Security - Securus and Hacklabs which comprise the “Security” business unit; and

  • Communications - Allcom Networks and Allcom Consulting Services which comprise the “Communications” business unit.

Please refer to Section 4 “Financial Information” and Section 7 “Material Agreements” for details on each of the Acquisitions.

Following the Acquisitions, PS&C will have in excess of 300 full time consultants, contractors and operational staff. These Acquisitions will enable PS&C to provide a range of ICT services to a broad base of clients.

The PS&C operating business model is based on medium and long term Panel and Preferred Supplier Agreements as well as short term consultancy agreements. It is anticipated that the existing PS&C client relationships will, following the Acquisitions, be broadened through PS&C’s ability to offer a wider service offering than any of the business units in isolation. Early phase integration will focus on revenue growth and the ability to leverage existing Panel and Preferred Supplier Agreements and customer relationships across the broader business.

Panel and Preferred Supplier Agreements

PS&C’s business units are parties to a number of Panel and Preferred Supplier Agreements. These agreements give PS&C the right to bid or tender for work specified under the agreements on agreed terms. PS&C’s Directors consider that there are significant opportunities to leverage the Panel and Preferred Supplier Agreements secured by its business units within the corporate, local, state and federal government market segments in order to support ongoing organic growth. However, the Panel and Preferred Supplier Agreements do not guarantee any revenue for PS&C.

Industry and Market Overview

The Australian ICT services market continues to grow. The demand for professional service offerings in that market is also expected to grow. Government infrastructure projects, such as the National Broadband Network, and large corporate transformation projects are important drivers of the market. Companies and governments are seeking to leverage their ICT infrastructure to provide greater efficiency and in turn stronger performance across the board. Ultimately, these efficiency gains in workplace environments translate into increased revenue, profit and shareholder returns. Outsourcing and third party contracting continues to grow as companies look to focus on their core competencies and retain the flexibility to up and downsize quickly and efficiently in response to the demands of the market.

The key areas driving growth in the ICT industry are as follows:

  • Cost reduction:

  • Standardisation and consolidation of infrastructure and applications;

  • Consolidation and reduction of facilities leading to updated network infrastructure and security services; and

  • More reliance on outsourcing and contracting to enable rapid upsizing and downsizing.

  • New initiatives:

  • Cloud and mobile computing leading to additional infrastructure, people and security services;

  • Transformation projects that create demand for additional services; and

  • Automation, improvement and development of systems and services.

  • Compliance and governance:

  • Requirements for additional reporting; and

  • ICT systems and data security.

PS&C is well positioned to capitalise on this growth as its business units already play a role in the ICT marketplace. PS&C covers the critical drivers to the ICT industry. By way of example, PS&C’s Security business provides advanced cyber security services to corporate entities and Government agencies.

The growing demand for ICT services in Australia is driven mostly by large corporate and government transformation projects. These projects are focused on addressing key areas of business such as security, risk, compliance, customer service and retention and cost reduction.

Transformation projects are typically multi-year, multi-faceted and complex. This affords opportunities for companies like PS&C to deploy their skilled human resources. The Company’s experienced management team will seek to leverage PS&C’s broad skill base in this changing environment.

Competitive Landscape

The ICT services marketplace in Australia is made up of a number of professional service providers such as Oakton Ltd, UXC Ltd, SMS Management and Technology Limited and RXP Services Limited as well as global organisations such as IBM and Accenture.

PS&C’s objective is to utilise its experienced management team and the deep capabilities existing in the business units to enable PS&C to differentiate itself in the market by providing a valuable alternative for customers seeking a diverse ICT services provider.

Systems & People makes up PS&C’s People business.

The People business’ revenue in the year ending 30 June 2013 totalled $38.3 million. This revenue was sourced from diverse segments of the economy and was led by the telecommunications and IT, retail, mining and manufacturing sectors.

The People business derives revenue from the following streams:

  • Contractor Management and Sourcing

  • Sourcing and providing specialist contractors to customers for medium and long term projects. Traditionally these contractors have been SAP professionals. However, the market is increasingly demanding a more generic ICT contractor with a broader array of capabilities.

  • Managing the payroll function of contractors for customers enabling the customers to save administrative costs.

  • Recruitment:

  • Providing a recruitment consulting business.

The People business has the ability to rapidly scale up or down the number of contractors as market needs dictate.

Founded in 1995, the People business initially operated exclusively in the SAP consulting industry. More recently, it has started to expand to address the wider market. The People team is made up of experienced SAP, human resources and contractor management professionals.

The People business has the opportunity to leverage PS&C’s access to the Panel and Preferred Supplier Agreements of other business units. The People business has significant potential outside of the SAP domain. The market for contractor management services, whilst competitive, is fragmented and is likely to present potential consolidation and acquisition opportunities in the future.

Security Business

Securus and Hacklabs make up PS&C’s Security business. The graph below segments by industry sector the combined revenue received by Securus and Hacklabs during the 2013 financial year.

The Security business’ revenue in the year ending 30 June 2013 totalled $5 million. This revenue was sourced from diverse segments of the economy led by the banking and financial services sector with a 36% share.

The cyber security industry in Australia is somewhat fragmented and populated by a handful of small companies supported by very high level specialist skills. PS&C decided to take a significant step into the cyber security market place by acquiring these two specialist companies. Whilst Hacklabs and Securus offer similar products and services, each work independently and in differing market segments. The security industry in Australia is estimated to be worth more than $2.1 billion annually.

There are a variety of services offered by the Security business including penetration testing (programmed hacking events designed to isolate security breaks in the client’s IT systems), red teaming (physical penetration of facility security), mobile application testing, payment card security systems, compliance and executive coaching and training. The primary objective of the cyber security teams is to isolate weaknesses in the client’s environment and then be able to implement systems and or processes that strengthen the environment.

In addition, products and tools offered include:

  • Payment card compliance tools

  • Vulnerability management solutions

  • Web application scanners and firewalls

  • Configuration audit and control

  • Exploitation tools

The Security business is well positioned within a growing market as cyber security becomes more of an issue for customers outside of the financial services industry. Foreshadowed changes to the Privacy Act whereby it will become necessary for companies to report data breaches have the potential to drive further growth in the cyber security market.

The industry has a number of small service providers and consolidation through acquisitions presents an array of opportunities for PS&C. The Security business may also benefit from Panel and Preferred Supplier Agreements of other business units.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee will provide advice and make recommendations to the Board about the appointment of new Directors (both executive and non-executive) and of the Managing Director and CFO and, to the extent delegated to it by the Board, other members of the senior management team.

Policies

SECURITIES TRADING POLICY

A code of conduct for transactions in securities (Trading Policy) has been adopted by the Board to provide guidance to the Board, management, employees and other stakeholders of PS&C, where they are contemplating dealing in PS&C’s securities or the securities of entities with whom PS&C may have dealings. The Trading Policy is designed to ensure that any trading in PS&C’s securities is in accordance with the law and minimises the possibility of misperceptions arising in relation to Directors’ and employees’ dealings in PS&C’s securities or securities of other entities.

Any non-compliance with the Trading Policy will be regarded as an act of serious misconduct. The Trading Policy is available on PS&C’s website at www. pscgroup.com.au.

CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE POLICY

The Board is responsible for determining whether information is such that it would have a material effect on the price or value of PS&C’s securities. The Disclosure Policy provides a framework for the Board and officers of PS&C to internally identify and report information which may need to be disclosed and sets out practical implementation processes in order to ensure any identified information is adequately communicated to the ASX and Shareholders.

The Disclosure Policy also sets out the exceptions to the disclosure requirements.

The Disclosure Policy is available on PS&C’s website at www.pscgroup.com.au

Commentary on Revenue

The Target Companies have a history of revenue growth. From FY11 to FY13 compound growth in revenues, would be 24%. Revenue has grown from $39.6 million to $63.5M. Based on FY14 forecast, revenues are expected to grow by 19% to $75.5M FY13 to FY14.

The growth in revenue forecast for FY14 is attributed to organic growth from:

  • strong relationships with panels and sales partners, and reflects historical growth levels,

  • broadening of services and product offerings,

  • increased customer reliance on communications,

  • convergence of cloud and communication services, and

  • greater awareness by customers of reputational and security threats from cyber-crime and fraud.

As noted above the forecast only relies on organic growth from each of the Target Companies. No assumptions have been made for the aggregated businesses to leverage Panel and Preferred Supplier Agreements, or other cross-sell opportunities.

The majority of the revenue streams are derived from:

  • a) Daily and hourly rates,

  • i. Professional strategic, consulting and systems integration services with all revenues attributable to employees and contractors of PS&C, and

  • ii. Contracting of professional staff to organisations for a percentage of their daily and hourly rates.

  • b) Product sales

  • i. On-selling of products to customers to facilitate integration/implementation services, and

  • ii. Reselling partner products in the Communications division and, software solutions in the Security businesses.

  • c) Commission based income

  • i. Fees received for the permanent placement of professional staff,

  • ii. Commissions received for the in integration/implementation of virtual services such as cloud based IP telephony and data storage solutions on behalf of partners, and

  • iii. Managed services for payroll, security monitoring and maintenance contracts.

----- End of picture text -----

Commentary on Gross Margins

Systems and People has consistent margins across the periods. Slightly lower margins forecast in FY14 reflect an increasing proportion of annuity type managed payroll services, and reflects a modest growth rate in dollar terms.

Securus has seen a small decline in margins due to the increase of software sales in its product mix. However, this offering provides the business with the foundation of ongoing annuity type revenue streams from maintenance contracts.

Whilst there has been some variability to Hacklabs’ margins historically, it is anticipated that a relatively high margin will be achieved in FY14.

The Allcom Group is forecasting improved gross margins, reflecting a large proportion of works for the NSW Government, Telstra and other large corporate clients via Panel and Preferred Supplier Agreements. Margins are forecast to grow in FY14 from increased utilisation of existing resources and an improvement in revenue mix towards services.

Commentary on Overheads

Overheads are principally management, new business development, administration, rent and general business costs. The forecast overheads will reduce as a percentage of revenue reflecting the scalable nature of the business as it grows its revenue base. The overhead for the FY14 year includes:

  • a) Costs associated with the employment of new business development staff who will concentrate on account service and management. This will allow the principals of the respective business units the necessary time to identify and win new business, and identify opportunities to work with other business units of PS&C; and

  • b) Approximately $700,000 of head office costs including costs associated with being a listed entity.

Commentary on EBITDA and EBITDA margin

Gross margins in dollars have grown at a faster rate than overhead expenses resulting in increasing EBITDA margins from FY11 to FY13. The forecast growth in FY14 EBITDA margin is attributable to:

  • a) Increased utilisation rates for professional staff employed by the business units in the strategic, consulting and systems integration services;

  • b) Customers increased demand for existing services;

  • c) New offerings in software sales and maintenance; and

  • d) Scale benefits due to the relatively fixed cost nature of overheads.

Commentary on EBIT

EBIT has grown at a CAGR of 48% for the period FY11 to FY13. FY14 is expected to provide EBIT growth of 36%.

All Target Companies are expected to grow FY13 to FY14, with the largest increase attributable to the Security and Communications business units. Securus and Hacklabs have assumed a roll forward of their current sales books and activity rates based on known engagements, partially offset by forecast employment of additional staff.

The higher Systems and People EBIT can be attributed to:

  • a) an increase in sales, including contractor management, based on known engagements and historical run rates for previous periods; and

  • b) a decrease in overhead costs, attributable to productivity gains from recent completion of a software implementation for back office payroll processing.

The higher Securus EBIT can be attributed to:

  • a) an increase in sales of services and software, based on known engagements and historical run rates for the past year; and

  • b) a decrease in overhead costs.

The higher Hacklabs EBIT can be attributed to an increase in sales of services, based on known engagements and historical run rates for the past year.

The higher Allcom Group EBIT can be attributed to:

  • a) approximately $233,000 of costs relating to bad debts and foreign exchange losses that the Company does not consider to be recurring expenses in FY14; and

  • b) an increase of approximately $300,000 in Allcom Consulting Services EBIT for FY14 based on orders received for the first quarter; and a change in the sales mix towards higher margin services work, and an increase in overall sales.

SECTION 4: FINANCIAL INFORMATION

4.3.6 Cashflow

Commentary on Cashflow

NPAT is a broad guide to free cashflow. PS&C has low capital expenditure requirements, which are broadly in line with the depreciation expense.

PS&C has not forecast any debt facilities however, the option remains open to obtain a working capital facility if required.

Increases in working capital may be required in some instances. For example, there may be a timing mismatch between payment to a supplier for equipment and receipt of payment from the customer for provision of that equipment.

4.4 Basis of preparation of Forecast Financial Information

The Forecast Financial Information has been prepared by PS&C based on an assessment by PS&C as to its likely future operating conditions and a number of best estimate assumptions regarding future actions and events as set out in section 4.5.

The Directors believe that they have prepared the Forecast Financial Information with due care and attention, and consider all best-estimate assumptions when taken as a whole, to be reasonable at the time of preparing this Prospectus.

This information is intended to assist investors in assessing the reasonableness and likelihood of the assumptions occurring, and is not intended to be a representation that the assumptions will occur.

The Forecast Financial Information is subject to the risks set out in section 5.

The Forecast Financial Information assumes the successful implementation of investment and business decisions and strategies, which are subject to change. No assurance can be given that the investment and business decisions and strategies will be effective or that the anticipated benefits from them will be realised in the periods for which the Forecast Financial Information has been prepared.

Events and circumstances often do not occur as anticipated and therefore actual results will differ from the Forecast Financial Information. These differences may be material.

Neither PS&C, the Directors, nor any other person guarantees or provides any assurance as to the achievement of the Forecast Financial Information. The Forecast Financial Information should not be regarded as a representation or warranty that PS&C will achieve, or is likely to achieve, any particular results. Actual events and outcomes may differ in quantum and timing from those assumed, with material consequential positive or negative impact on PS&Cs actual earnings. Accordingly, investors should be aware of the risks of placing undue reliance on the Forecast Financial Information.

Prospective investors are advised to review the best estimate assumptions set out in section 4.5 in conjunction with the sensitivity analysis set out in section 4.6, the risk factors set out in section 5, together with other information provided in this Prospectus.

40

4.5 Best-Estimate Assumptions

The material general assumptions made when preparing the Forecast Financial Information follow. As the operating and financial performance of PS&C is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions worldwide, including the levels of inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, and government, fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies, the Forecast Financial Information assumes that there will be no material changes in these conditions.

4.5.1 General Best-Estimate Assumptions

The Forecast Financial Information is based on the following general assumptions:

  • a) there is no material amendment to any material agreement relating to the PS&C business units;

  • b) there are no material acquisitions or disposals during the Forecast Period outside the transactions disclosed in this Prospectus;

  • c) there are no changes to the PS&C capital structure other than those set out in, or contemplated by this Prospectus;

  • d) there are no material changes to the statutory, legal or regulatory environment, including taxation that would have a material adverse impact on PS&C’s operations;

  • e) there are no material changes in industrial, political or economic conditions with respect to the legal industry generally or tort law particularly;

  • f) there is no change in key management personnel;

  • g) there are no material beneficial or adverse effects arising from the actions of competitors; and

  • h) there are no material changes in Australian Accounting Standards or other mandatory professional reporting requirements that would have a material effect on the Forecast Financial Information.

4.5.2 Specific Best-Estimate Assumptions

Revenue

The following specific best-estimate assumptions have been applied in preparing the Forecast Financial Information.

  • a) Productivity – Consistent with current and non-productive time for public holidays. Charge out rates are assumed to cover anticipated salary and overhead increases over the forecast period. New staff will take between one and three months to become as productive as existing staff.

  • b) Recoverability– No material bad debts are incurred; and

  • c) New Revenue Streams – New business development staff will take between one and three months to become productive, existing customers will honour existing and proposed plans over the next 18 months and historical run rates on successful outcomes of request for proposals and competitive quoting will continue.

41

Replacement Prospectus

SECTION 4: FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Expenses

An allowance has been made over the Forecast Period for:

  • a) increases in salaries and overheads consistent with historical levels, or where anticipated increases differ to this historical trend, the higher figure, throughout the Forecast Period;

  • b) salaries for new employees; and

  • c) incremental public company costs and operational expenses.

Income Tax

In estimating the forecast income tax expense, an effective corporate tax rate of 30% has been applied. Nondeductible expenses and other timing differences are not material.

4.6 Sensitivity Analysis

The Forecast Financial Information detailed in sections 4.1 to 4.8 has been prepared with reference to a number of estimates and assumptions, including the General and Specific Assumptions set out in section 4.5. Both the Forecast Financial Information and the specific best-estimate assumptions are by their very nature subject to inherent business, economic and political uncertainties and risks. Many of these are outside the control of the Directors and are not predictable. Therefore, actual financial results may vary from those forecast and variations may be materially positive or negative.

The following table (4.8) demonstrates the potential impact on profitability that may arise from variations in revenue and gross margin. Sensitivities are calculated based on increases and decreases in revenues by service and product offerings, and variations in gross margins by service and product offerings.

Care should be taken when interpreting the information as it demonstrates broad movements in profitability that may be a variation in isolation or a combination of potential variations in any of the areas noted above.

Circumstances that may give rise to any particular variation may or may not result in variations elsewhere. It is possible that multiple sets of circumstances could give rise to movements in more than one category and those movements may have cumulative or off-setting effects on profitability. Table 4.8

Commentary on Sensitivity Analysis

The major drivers of PS&C’s profitability include the number of engagements awarded by panels, placement of fee-earners, volume of sales by partner customers, engagements won from short term assignments and pricing. The sensitivity of the Forecast Financial Information has been presented based on these key drivers, illustrated by movements in sales volumes and margin achievement. There are many other factors that could impact profitability and the Directors in no way imply that this is a comprehensive analysis.

4.8 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Financial Information covers PS&C and entities it is anticipated PS&C will control as a consolidated entity. PS&C is a for profit company, limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

(a) Basis of Preparation

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

The Financial Information was authorised for issue by the Directors. The Financial Information set out in the Prospectus is presented in an abbreviated form and does not contain all the disclosures that are usually provided in a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the Financial Information complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Consequently the Financial information has been prepared in accordance with and complies with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

The following is a summary of material accounting policies adopted by the consolidated entity in the preparation and presentation of the financial information. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

43

Replacement Prospectus

SECTION 4: FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(b) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial information is that of the consolidated entity, comprising the financial information of the parent entity and of all the controlled entities, from the date on which control is obtained until the date that control is lost.

Intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cashflows relating to transactions between entities of the consolidated entity have been eliminated in full for the purpose of this consolidated financial information.

Appropriate adjustments have been made to a controlled entity’s financial information where the accounting policies used by that entity differ from those adopted in the consolidated financial information.

Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests (i.e. equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to a parent) are presented in the consolidated financial information within equity separately from the equity of the owners of the parent.

(c) Comparative Amounts

Comparatives are consistent with prior years, unless otherwise stated.

(d) Income Tax

The tax expense recognised in the statement of comprehensive income relates to current income tax expense plus deferred tax expense (being the movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities and unused tax losses during the year).

Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit (tax loss) for the year and is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences which are determined by comparing the carrying amounts of tax bases of assets and liabilities to the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial information.

Deferred tax is not provided for the following:

The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Temporary differences related to investment in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that the consolidated entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax consequences relating to a non-monetary asset carried at fair value are determined using the assumption that the carrying amount of the asset will be recovered through sale.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

44

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legal right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Current and deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the period except where the tax arises from a transaction which is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity respectively.

Tax Consolidation

The parent entity and its controlled entities intend to form an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation legislation. The parent entity is responsible for recognising the current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising in respect of tax losses, for the tax consolidated group. The tax consolidated group will also enter into a tax funding agreement whereby each company controlled by PS&C contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group.

(e) Revenue

Revenue is recognised when the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and specific criteria relating to the type of revenue as noted below, has been satisfied.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is presented net of returns, discounts and rebates.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Sale of Goods

Revenue is recognised on transfer of goods to the customer as this is deemed to be the point in time when risks and rewards are transferred and there is no longer any ownership or effective control over the goods.

Rendering of Services

Revenue in relation to rendering of services is recognised upon delivery of the service to the customer or when the outcome of the services can be measured reliably. If the latter is applicable, then the stage of completion of the services is used to determine the appropriate level of revenue to be recognised in the period.

If the outcome cannot be reliably measured then revenue is recognised to the extent of expenses recognised that are recoverable

Interest Revenue

Interest is recognised using the effective interest method.

SECTION 4: FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Bank overdrafts also form part of cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows and are presented within current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

(g) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventory is determined using the individual item basis and are net of any rebates and discounts received.

(h) Plant and Equipment

All classes of plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation

Plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line or reducing balance method from the date that management determine that the asset is available for use.

Assets held under a finance lease and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the term of the lease and the assets useful life.

(i) Intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the consolidated entity’s share of net identifiable assets of the acquired business or entity at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill is not amortised but is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to the consolidated entity’s cash generating units or groups of cash generating units, which represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored but where such level is not larger than an operating segment.

Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity sold.

(j) Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the consolidated entity determines whether there is evidence of an impairment indicator for non-financial assets.

Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Reversal indicators are considered in subsequent periods for all assets which have suffered an impairment loss, except for goodwill.

(k) Acquisition of Assets

All assets acquired, including plant and equipment and intangibles, other than goodwill, are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition at the date of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

46

(l) Leases

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership that are transferred to entities in the Group, are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all of the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.

(m) Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the consolidated entity’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled.

Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Those cashflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows.

(n) Provisional Accounting for Initial Business Combination

The initial accounting treatment for business combinations acquired and included in the Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position have been determined provisionally, as allowed under Australian Accounting Standards, as the fair values to be assigned to the purchased intangibles under the agreements are yet to be determined. All amounts attributable to purchased intangibles have been included as goodwill for purposes of the Pro Forma Balance Sheet. Any adjustments to the values shall be made once all relevant information is available.

In accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations the measurement period is the period after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may adjust the provisional amounts recognised for a business combination. However, the measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

To the extent there is a movement in the purchase consideration post the measurement period this movement will be through the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(o) Financial Instruments

Classification

The consolidated entity classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.

47

Replacement Prospectus

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are measured at fair value at inception and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Deferred consideration

Deferred consideration payable on business acquisitions is measured at fair value at inception and subsequently amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities include trade and other payables (including finance lease liabilities) and loans from third parties including inter-company balances, which are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(p) Goods and Services Tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payable are stated inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

(q) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and Presentation Currency

The functional currency of each entity is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and Balances

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the spot rate on the date of the transaction.

At the end of the reporting period:

  • Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate;

  • Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and

  • Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value are translated using the rate at the date when fair value was determined.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition or in prior reporting periods are recognised through profit or loss, except where they relate to an item of other comprehensive income or whether they are deferred in equity as qualifying hedges.

SECTION 5 RISK FACTORS

49

Replacement Prospectus

SECTION 5: RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following factors and other information in this Prospectus before deciding to invest in the Company. An investment in Shares in the Company involves a high degree of risk. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects for growth may suffer. As a result, you could lose all or part of your investment.

SPECIFIC KEY RISKS

This Section describes certain specific but not all risks associated with an investment in PS&C. Prospective investors should read the whole of this Prospectus in order to fully understand how PS&C intends to operate its business before deciding to invest or not.

Industry Growth Risk

As a result of slower than expected growth in the ICT industry PS&C may experience a lower than expected level of demand for its contractor, cyber security and network infrastructure services.

Specifically, the market segments that PS&C has identified as being integral to its success and growth, including but not limited to the government, mining and financial services sectors, may experience either low or slower than expected growth.

Key Personnel

The Company relies on a number of key employees, consultants and contractors. There is a risk that the Company may fail to retain or develop key employees, consultants and contractors and this would have a negative affect upon the development of the Company and its operations, as well as the Company’s financial performance. While the Company has put into place employment agreements with all of its key employees, there can be no guarantee that those key employees and consultants will remain with the Company.

Industry Competition

PS&C’s performance may be affected by the level of competition in the markets and ICT industry segments in which it operates. Increased competition may result in general price reductions, causing reduced operating margins and a possible loss of market share for PS&C. In addition, PS&C’s prospects for growth may suffer if it is unable to secure the quality and quantity of new employees or contractors it requires to facilitate its growth due to industry competition for these employees.

Level of work

Systems and People, Securus, Hacklabs and the Allcom Group are parties to a number of Panel and Preferred Supplier Agreements, supply agreements and professional services agreements. A number of these agreements rely on the issue of specific statements of work requesting the relevant PS&C business unit to perform services or supply a product. As such, these agreements typically do not guarantee minimum levels of work. Accordingly, there is a risk that, whilst an agreement (such as a professional services agreement) remains effective and in place, the level of work requested by counterparties under the agreement through statements of work or purchase orders may decrease or cease entirely. Such a reduction in the level of work provided under these agreements could adversely affect the Company’s financial performance.

50

Contractual Risks

PS&C derives revenue from parties who are in contractual relationships with PS&C or its controlled entities. Despite the legal rights of PS&C, there is a risk that the party will be unwilling or unable to fulfil its contractual obligations or will exercise a right of termination under a PS&C contract for convenience or due to a material breach of a term of the contract by one or both parties. In particular, under many of PS&C’s agreements the contractual relationship may be terminated without cause on relatively short notice periods. Further, several agreements contain change of control provisions which provide a contractual party with a right of termination which may be exercised in certain circumstances.

Costs Overrun Risk

There is risk that costs of PS&C’s business operations and the costs of maintaining PS&C’s workforce may be greater than initially anticipated by the Company, which may negatively affect the Company’s profitability. This may arise as a result of either unexpected costs or higher than expected costs being incurred.

Technology Risks

There is a risk that, as marketable technologies continue to develop in the ICT industry, there may be certain information technology and product developments that supersede, and render obsolete, the existing product and service offering of PS&C. This would negatively affect the Company’s profitability.

OTHER SPECIFIC RISKS

While it is difficult to evaluate the potential effect that a risk may have on the financial performance of the Company, the Board is of the view that the risks set out below may have a lesser impact on the financial performance of the Company than those Specific Key Risks discussed above.

Financing Requirements

PS&C’s Directors expect that the Company will have sufficient resources to enable it to achieve its current business objectives. However, if circumstances arise that require further financing, there can be no assurance that further financing will be obtained on reasonable or acceptable terms.

Company Growth and Integration Risks

If PS&C seeks to grow via acquisition, the Directors believe that PS&C has the right business model and characteristics to attract organisations that will complement the business. However, in relation to any growth via acquisitions, there is a risk that acquisitions will encounter unforeseen integration issues. Further to this, there is a risk that any synergies which may be targeted do not eventuate or are less pronounced than first envisaged. In addition, there is a risk that PS&C is either unable to find potential and suitable acquisition targets, is unable to agree to terms of sale with any acquisition targets, or agrees to terms that are less favourable than it initially anticipated. All of these risks may negatively affect PS&C’s growth prospects.

Liability and Insurance Risk

The Company’s insurance arrangements may not be adequate to protect the Company against liability for losses relating to public liability, property damage, product liability, business interruption and other risks that may arise in the course of its operations. Should PS&C be unable to maintain adequate insurance to cover these risks or experience claims for losses in excess of the level of its insurance coverage, the Company’s financial performance could be materially affected.

51

Replacement Prospectus

Counterparty Risk

In respect of contracts entered into by PS&C and its business units, there is a risk that counterparties will be unwilling or unable to fulfil their contractual obligations or will exercise a right to terminate the contract.

By way of example, PS&C may contract to supply a customer certain equipment and in turn PS&C will contract with a third party to supply that equipment to PS&C. In the event that the third party is unable or unwilling to provide the equipment to PS&C, it may result in PS&C being unable to supply that equipment to its customer. In these circumstances PS&C will be exposed to a claim for breach of contract.

Litigation and Dispute Risk

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation in relation to issues such as contractual, personal injury, employee and other claims which may arise in the ordinary course of business. Any claim made against the Company may adversely impact upon the operational and financial performance of the Company, and may also negatively impact on the Company’s Share price. In addition, should the Company decide to pursue claims against a third party, including any party with whom PS&C has entered into agreements, this process may incur significant management and financial resources, and a positive outcome for the Company cannot be guaranteed. Further, even if the Company was successful in obtaining a judgment against a third party, the Company may be unable to recover any monies from that party. For example, the relevant third party may have inadequate financial resources to cover any damages judgment which is awarded in favour of PS&C.

Government Legislation

Australian and international government legislation is subject to review and change from time to time. Any such change is likely to be beyond the control of the Company and could affect both industry and the Company’s profitability. Revenues and operating costs of the Company may be affected by change in international, federal, state, or local government laws, regulations or policies, or in taxation legislation.

GENERAL RISKS

In addition to the specific risks outlined above, there are a range of general risks associated with the Company’s operations. Factors such as government legislation, inflation, interest rates, taxation law, accounting standards, natural disasters, social upheaval, war and terrorism may have an impact on prices, operating costs and market conditions generally. PS&C’s operations and future profitability can be affected by these factors, which are beyond the control of the Company.

Dear Sirs,

Investigating Accountant’s Report on the Pro-forma Historical Financial Information, Pro Forma Balance Sheet and Forecast Financial Information

1. Introduction

PS&C Ltd (“ PS&C ” or “ the Company ”) was established on 9 July 2013 and has entered into agreements to acquire all of the issued capital of the following companies:-

  • Systems and People Pty Ltd

  • Securus Global Consulting Pty Ltd

  • Hacklabs Pty Ltd

  • Allcom Networks Pty Ltd

  • Allcom Consulting Services Pty Ltd

(collectively the “ Target Entities ”)

On 31 October 2013, the Company lodged an Initial Public Offering Prospectus with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ ASIC ”). ASIC requested the Company provide additional disclosure in respect of key movements in items set out in the Pro Forma Balance Sheet. These have been prepared and take the form of Notes to the Pro Forma Balance Sheet. The Company intends to issue a Replacement Prospectus on or about 7 November 2013 which incorporates this additional information and makes certain consequential changes (“the Replacement Prospectus ”).

Nexia Melbourne Pty Ltd (“ Nexia ”) has prepared this Investigating Accountant’s Report (“ the Report ”) on the financial information of PS&C (incorporating the Target Entities) for inclusion in the Replacement Prospectus.

Expressions and terms defined in the Replacement Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report.

Nexia holds the appropriate Australian Financial Services Licence (AFS licence Number 247262). Gary Graco is a Director and representative of Nexia. We have included our Financial Services Guide is attached as Appendix A to this Report.

2. Scope

Nexia has been requested to prepare this report in respect of the financial information described below.

Historical Financial Information

The historical financial information, detailed in sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.7 and set out in tables 4.1; 4.2; 4.3; 4.4; 4.5; 4.6; 4.7 and 4.9 of the Replacement Prospectus comprises the historical income statement summary and summary disclosures and reconciliations tables for the years ended 30 June 2011 (FY11), 30 June 2012 (FY12) and 30 June 2013 (FY13) of the Target Entities, as if they were members of a single PS&C consolidated group, and incorporating normalised adjustments as described in table 4.9 (the “ Historical Financial Information ”).

54

The Historical Financial Information has been extracted from the audited statutory financial statements of the Target Entities, which were audited by Nexia Melbourne in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and on which unqualified audit opinions were issued.

Pro Forma Balance Sheet

The pro forma balance sheet detailed in section 4.2 and set out in table 4.2 of the Replacement Prospectus comprises the pro forma balance sheet as at 30 June 2013 (the “ Pro Forma Balance Sheet ”).

The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been extracted from the audited statutory financial statements of the Target Entities, which were audited by Nexia Melbourne in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and on which unqualified audit opinions were issued, and assumes completion of the proposed transactions outlined in section 4.2.3.

Forecast Financial Information

The forecast financial information, detailed in sections 4.2,4.3,4.4,4.5 and 4.6 and set out in tables 4.1; 4.3; 4.4; 4.5; 4.6; 4.7; 4.8 and 4.9 of the Replacement Prospectus comprises forecast income statement summary and summary disclosures and reconciliations tables for the year ending 30 June 2014 (“FY14”) of the Company and the Target Entities, as if they were members of a single PS&C consolidated group (hereafter the “ Forecast Financial Information ”).

The Historical Financial Information, Pro Forma Balance Sheet and Forecast Financial information is collectively the “Financial Information”.

The Financial Information is presented in the Replacement Prospectus in an abbreviated form insofar as it does not include all of the disclosures required by the Australian Accounting Standards applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

Nexia disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the Financial Information to which this Report relates for any purpose other than the purposes for which it was prepared. This report has been prepared for inclusion in the Replacement Prospectus and should be read in conjunction with it.

3. Scope of Review

Historical Financial information and Pro Forma Balance Sheet

The Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Balance Sheet incorporates such adjustments and pro forma transactions as the Directors considered necessary to present the Historical Financial information and Pro Forma Balance Sheet on a basis consistent with the Forecast Financial information.

The Directors are responsible for preparation of the Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Balance Sheet, including the determination of the Pro Forma Transactions and normalisation adjustments. This includes responsibility for such internal control as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Balance Sheet that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

We have conducted our review of the Historical Financial information and Pro Forma Balance Sheet in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards applicable to review engagements. We made such inquiries and performed

  • › An analytical review of the financial performance of the Target Entities for the relevant historical periods;

  • › A review of audit work papers and other documents;

  • › A review of adjustments made to the Historical Financial information and Pro Forma Balance Sheet;

  • › A review of the assumptions (which include the Pro Forma transactions) used to compile the Pro Forma Balance Sheet;

55

Replacement Prospectus

SECTION 6: INVESTIGATING ACCOUNTANTS REPORT AND FINANCIAL SERVICES GUIDE

  • › A comparison of the consistency in application and recognition and measurement principles under Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by PS&C as disclosed in Section 4.8 of the Replacement Prospectus; and

  • › Enquiry of Directors’, management of the Target Entities and others.

These procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, thus the level of assurance provided is less than given in an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the Historical Financial information or the Pro Forma Balance Sheet.

Forecast Financial Information

The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the Forecast Financial Information, including the best-estimate assumptions on which the Forecast Financial Information is based and the sensitivity of the Forecast Financial information to changes in key assumptions.

Our review of the best estimate assumptions underlying the Forecast Financial information was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards applicable to review engagements. Our procedures consisted primarily of enquiry and comparison and other such analytical review procedures we considered necessary to form an opinion as to whether anything has come to our attention which causes us to believe that:

  • (a) the Directors’ best estimate assumptions do not provide reasonable grounds for the preparation of the Forecast Financial Information;

  • (b) in all material aspects, the Forecast Financial Information;

  • (i) was not prepared on the basis of best-estimate assumptions;

  • (ii) does not present fairly the income statement summary of PS&C for FY14 in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles (but not all of the presentation and disclosure requirements) of applicable Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia and the accounting policies adopted by PS&C as summarised in Section 4.8 of the Replacement Prospectus; or

  • (c) the Forecast Information is unreasonable.

The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the Forecast Financial Information in order to provide investors with a guide to the potential financial performance of the Company based upon achievement of certain economic, operating, development and trading assumptions about future events and actions that have not yet occurred and may not necessarily occur. This includes responsibility for such internal control as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of Forecast Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

There is considerable degree of subjective judgment involved in preparing forecasts since they relate to events and transactions that have not yet occurred and may not occur. Actual results may vary positively or negatively from the Forecast Financial Information since anticipated events or transactions frequently do not occur as expected and the variation may be material. The Directors’ best-estimate assumptions on which the Forecast Financial Information is based related to future events and/or transactions that management expect to occur and actions that management expect to take and are also subject to uncertainties and contingencies, which are often outside the control of the Company. Evidence may be available to support the Directors’ best-estimate assumptions on which the Forecast Financial Information is based however such evidence is generally future-oriented and therefore speculative in nature. The Forecast Financial Information is therefore only indicative of the financial performance which may be achieved. Accordingly investors should have regard to the description of investment risks and sensitivity analysis as set out in Sections 5 and Section 4.6 respectively of the Replacement Prospectus.

56

Our review of the Forecast Financial Information and the best estimate assumptions upon which the Forecast Financial Information has been based is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We are therefore not in a position to express a reasonable assurance conclusion on those best-estimate assumptions, and accordingly, provide a lesser level of assurance on the reasonableness of the Directors’ best-estimate assumptions. The limited assurance conclusion expressed in this Report has been formed on the above basis. We have not performed an audit and do not express an audit opinion on the Forecast Financial Information. This Forecast Financial Information has been prepared by the directors for inclusion in the Replacement Prospectus. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report, or the Forecast Financial Information to which it relates, for any purposes other than for which it was prepared. We have assumed, and relied on representations from Directors that all material information concerning the prospects and proposed operations of the Company and the Target Entities, has been disclosed to us and that the information provided to use for the purpose of our work is true, complete and accurate in all respects. We have no reason to believe that those representations are false.

4. Review Conclusions

Review conclusion on Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Balance Sheet

Based on our independent review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that:

  • (a) the Historical Financial Information does not present fairly the Income Statement for FY11, FY12 and FY13;

  • (b) the pro forma transactions do not provide a reasonable basis for the Pro Forma Balance Sheet;

  • (c) the Pro Forma Balance Sheet has not been prepared on the basis of the pro forma transactions as set out in Section 4.2.3 of the Replacement Prospectus;

  • (d) the Pro Forma Balance Sheet is not presented fairly as at 30 June 2013 in accordance with the measurement and recognition requirements: (but not all of the presentation and disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and the accounting policies adopted by PS&C as summarised at section 4.8 of the Replacement Prospectus.

Review conclusion on Forecast Financial Information

Based on our review of the Forecast Financial Information, which is not an audit, and based on an investigation of the reasonableness of the Directors’ best-estimate assumptions giving rise to the prospective financial information, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that:

  • (a) the directors’ best estimate assumptions do not provide reasonable grounds for the preparation of the Forecast Financial Information;

  • (b) in all material aspects, the Forecast Financial Information;

  • (i) was not prepared on the basis of best-estimate assumptions; and

  • (ii) does not present fairly the income statement summary and summary disclosures and reconciliations tables of PS&C for FY14 in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles (but not all of the presentation and disclosure requirements) of applicable Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia and the accounting policies adopted by PS&C as summarised in Section 4.8 of the Replacement Prospectus as if the best estimate assumptions set out in Section 4.5 of the Replacement Prospectus; and

  • (c) the Forecast Financial Information is unreasonable.

5. Subsequent Events

Apart from matters dealt with in this report, and having regard to the scope of our report, to the best of our knowledge and belief no material transactions or events outside of the ordinary course of business of the Company or the Target Entities have come to our attention that would require comment on, or adjustment to, the information referred to in our report or that would cause such information to be misleading or deceptive.

6. Restriction on Use

Without modifying our conclusions, we draw attention to Section 4.1 of Replacement Prospectus, which describes the purpose of the Historical Financial Information, the Pro Forma Balance Sheet and Forecast Financial Information, being for inclusion in the Replacement Prospectus. As a result, the Historical Financial Information, the Pro Forma Balance Sheet and Forecast Financial Information may not be suitable for use for another purpose.

7. Consent

Consent to the inclusion of this Investigating Accountant’s Report in the Replacement Prospectus in the form and context in which it appears has been given. At the date of this report, this consent has not been withdrawn.

8. Liability

The Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Nexia and its employees from any claims arising out of misstatement or omission in any material or information supplied by the Company to Nexia.

9. Independence or Declaration of Interest

Neither Nexia nor its partners or employees has any pecuniary interests that could reasonably be regarded as being capable of affecting its ability to give an unbiased conclusion on this matter. Nexia Melbourne provided audit and other services to PS&C and the Target Entities, for which normal professional fees will be received, and Nexia will receive a professional fee for the preparation of this Report.

  2. In certain circumstances, regulated by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Operating Rules and the general law.

PS&C CONSTITUTION

The following is a summary of the major provisions of the Company’s constitution.

General

The rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares are set out in the Company’s constitution, and are regulated by the Corporations Act, Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Operating Rules and the general law. Set out below is a summary of the principal rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and is not a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of the Shareholders of the Company.

Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at a general meeting, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy, representative or attorney has one vote on a show ofhands and on a poll, one vote for each fully paid Share. The holder of partly paid Shares in the Company has a vote in respect of the Share on a poll which has the same proportionate value as the proportion that the amount paid on the Shares bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited). Amounts paid in advance of a call are to be ignored. A Shareholder is not entitled to vote at a general meeting unless all calls and other sums presently payable by the member in respect of a Share have been paid. Where a Share is jointly held, only one of the joint holders may vote.

74

General Meeting and Notices

Each holder of Shares will be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at the Company’s general meetings and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.

Dividends

Subject to the Corporations Act and the rights of persons (if any) entitled to Shares with special rights to dividends, the Directors may declare and pay dividends in accordance with the Corporations Act, and subject to the ASX Listing Rules, all dividends will be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the Shares in proportion to the relevant issue price for the Shares.

Variation of Class Rights

At present, the Company only has ordinary Shares on issue and has no current plans to create further classes of shares. The rights and restrictions attaching to a class of the Company’s shares can only be altered if the holders of 75% of the shares issued in that class consent to the variation in writing, or with the consent of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of that class of shares, unless the terms on which those shares were issued state otherwise.

Further Issues of Shares and Options

The Directors may, subject to the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any special rights conferred on the holders of any share or class of share, issue Shares or grant options over Shares to any person at any time and on any terms and conditions as they think fit.

Pre–Emptive Rights

Holders of Shares do not have any pre–emptive rights under the constitution.

Winding Up

The assets of the Company must on a winding up be applied in repayment to the Shareholders in proportion to their respective holdings. If at the commencement of a winding up the Company has issued shares which are classified under the Listing Rules or by ASX as restricted securities and the shares are subject to escrow restrictions, on a return of capital the holders of those shares rank behind all other shares in the Company.

Small Holdings

Subject to the Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules, the Company may sell the Shares of a Shareholder who holds less than a marketable parcel of Shares. The Company may only do this once in any 12 month period.

Section 8: Additional Information

Forfeiture after failure to pay calls on partly paid shares

If a Shareholder fails to pay a call or another amount that is payable on the Shares on the due date, then after notification, and before payment, the Directors may resolve that the Shareholder has forfeited those Shares. A forfeited Share shall be deemed to be the property of the Company, and subject to the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit.

Lien on Shares

To the extent permitted by the Listing Rules, the Company has a lien on Shares not fully paid and on all dividends payable in respect of that Share if a Shareholder fails to pay a call that is payable on the Shares by the due date. Shares on which the Company has a lien may be sold, in such manner as the Board thinks fit, subject to the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, after notification and before payment.

Holding Statements

The Directors may permit a Shareholder’s holding to be held as an uncertificated holding under the ASX Settlement Operating Rules and they must do so if the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules require that Shares are to be held as uncertificated holdings.

If Shares are not held as an uncertificated holding, the Company must give a registered Shareholder a share certificate free of charge.

If all the shares in a class are to be held only as uncertificated holdings under the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, the Company need not provide a share certificate to the Shareholder, but must provide the Shareholder with a statement of the Shareholder’s holding in accordance with the ASX Settlement Operating Rules and the Listing Rules. If the Company operates an issuer sponsored sub–register, it must allocate a unique Security holder Reference Number (SRN) for each holding of shares. A member may have more than one holding each of which will have a unique SRN. Each new holding of shares on the issuer sponsored sub–register must be allocated a unique SRN for that holding.

Directors

The minimum number of Directors is 3 and the maximum 7. The Company may by resolution increase or decrease the minimum and maximum number of Directors, but the minimum must never be less than 3.

A director (excluding the Managing Director) is not entitled to hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following their appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.

At each of the Company’s annual general meetings, one–third of the Directors (or if the number of Directors is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest but not exceeding one–third) must retire from office by rotation. The Managing Director is exempted from retirement by rotation. A retiring Director is eligible for re–election.

If the places of the retiring Directors are not filled at the relevant meeting, the retiring Directors or any who have not had their places filled shall be deemed to have been re–elected and shall, if willing, continue in office until the next annual general meeting and so on from year to year until their places are filled unless:

  1. it is determined at the meeting to reduce the number of Directors;

  2. it is resolved at the meeting not to fill the vacated offices;

  3. in any case, the resolution for re–election of a Director is put to the meeting and lost; or

  4. the Director has given notice in writing to the Company that he or she is not willing to be re–elected.

76

Indemnities and Insurance

The Company must to the extent permitted by law and subject to the Corporations Act, indemnify current and past Directors, secretaries and executive officers of the Company against a liability incurred by the person acting in that capacity and against reasonable legal costs incurred in connection with proceedings in which the person becomes involved because of that capacity. The Company may pay the premium on a policy of insurance in respect of a person who is or has been an officer of the Company to the full extent permitted by the Corporations Act. The Company has entered into deeds of indemnity, insurance and access with all Directors, further details of which are set out in Section 7.

Proportional Takeover Provisions

The Company is prohibited from registering a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under a proportional takeover bid (being an off–market bid for a specific proportion of a class of shares) unless and until an ordinary resolution approving the proportional takeover bid is passed by the holders of the bid class shares. In accordance with the Corporations Act, the proportional takeover provisions will automatically cease to have effect on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption of the Constitution or of the most recent renewal term, but can be renewed by the Company in general meeting.

Amendment of the Constitution

The Corporations Act provides that the constitution of a company may be modified or repealed by a special resolution passed by the members of the company. PS&C’s Constitution does not impose any further requirements to be complied with to effect a modification of its Constitution, or to repeal it.

DIRECTORS’ AND EMPLOYEES’ SHARE AND OPTION PLAN

PS&C intends to adopt a Directors’ and Employees’ Share and Option Plan ( Share and Option Plan ). Under the proposed Share and Option Plan, PS&C will be entitled to issue shares and options to its Directors and employees. If and when a Share and Option Plan is adopted by PS&C it will be at the absolute discretion of the Board and will depend upon a number of factors including but not limited to the financial performance of the Company. The Company will comply with the ASX Listing Rules with respect to any required Shareholder approvals prior to issuing any Shares or granting any options under the Share and Option Plan.
