ABN 47 009 436 908

Explanatory Memorandum

The following information provides an explanation of each resolution set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

1. Financial statements and reports

As required by section 317 of the Corporations Act 2001, the financial statements and the reports of the directors and auditors will be laid before the meeting. Shareholders have been provided with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2007 in the 2007 Annual Report. There is no requirement in the Corporations Act or the Company’s Constitution for shareholders to vote on, approve or adopt these Reports. Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask questions and make comments on these Reports and on the management of the Company.

The Auditor of the Company is required to attend the meeting and will be available to take shareholders’ questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report. Shareholders may forward written questions to the Auditor on these matters for response at the meeting.

The Auditor of the Company will also be available to take shareholders’ questions at the meeting relevant to the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

2. Adoption of remuneration report

The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2007 contains a Remuneration Report, which sets out the policy for the remuneration of the directors, company secretary and executives. The Corporations Act requires that a resolution be put to the vote that the Remuneration Report be adopted. The Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.

The directors recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution.

3. Election of director

(a) Mr Craig Cook

Mr Cook has extensive experience in governance and risk management issues and an in depth knowledge of the machinery of government. Craig is currently a director of the Goulburn Murray Rural Water Authority and the Rural Finance Corporation of Victoria.

Mr. Cook, who was Manager of Corporate Relations at Rio Tinto Limited, holds other directorships with Australian Cricket Bat Willow Plantation Management Services Limited, Goulburn Ovens Institute of TAFE and Carlton Cricket Club Limited.

The directors (with Mr Craig Cook abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution.

(b) Mr Tommas Bonvino

Mr Bonvino has more than 25 years experience in consumer marketing and product development. He has managed companies for Italian, German and French firms, distributing and marketing goods through South-East Asia. Tommas has built strong bilateral trade relationships between Australia and Italian companies in the technology, food, wine and fashion sectors.

He is Vice President of the Italian Chamber of Commerce. Tommas joined IM Medical in 2006 and has spearheaded the strategic review which has led to significant expansion of the IM Medical business.

The directors (with Mr Tommas Bonvino abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution .

4. Ratification of share placement

The Company is seeking approval for the issue in August 2007 to institutions and eligible professional investors of 120,000,000 ordinary shares at a subscription price of $0.026 per share. The shares allotted rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s other issued fully paid shares. The Company applied for and received official quotation on the ASX of the new shares.

None of the allottees are related parties of the Company.

The issue raised $2,995,200 (after costs). The Company sought to undertake this placement to fund the commercial rollout and development of the newly acquired Cardanal technology and to continue the Company’s growth program that includes IM Careplans and Workplace Assessments.

The Board elected to proceed by way of private placement to institutional and professional investors for the following reasons:

  • a) Expediting fundraising is considered important. A placement to professional investors and institutions undertaken in accordance with Section 708 of the Corporations Act does not require the lodgement of a prospectus, saving time and associated costs, and can be undertaken more quickly than an entitlement issue which is required to follow a prescribed timetable;

Notice of 2007 Annual General Meeting

==> picture [108 x 20] intentionally omitted <==

  • b) There is an inherent risk associated with entitlement issues in that the outcome is unknown until the issue is completed and, unless fully underwritten, a company may not be successful in raising required funds. Obtaining underwriter support for an entitlement issue was considered too costly and time consuming.

Under the 15% Rule a company may, within a 12 month period, issue new ordinary securities which amount to up to 15% of the company’s issued ordinary securities without the need for shareholder approval. The allotment of 120,000,000 shares represented approximately 13% of the Company’s issued ordinary securities. Shares issued and subsequently approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 are not counted towards the 15% Rule. Shareholder approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to refresh the Company’s capacity to issue ordinary securities which amount to up to 15% of the Company’s issued ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

5 Ratification of issue of shares under Executive Service agreement

Shareholder ratification is being sought for the issue to Tommas Bonvino of 10,000,000 ordinary shares in fulfilment of a condition of his Executive Service Agreement which covers his employment as CEO for two years from June 1, 2007.

Pursuant to Chapter 7 of the ASX Listing Rules, a company may within a 12 month period allot up to 15% of its issued capital (whether by way of shares or options) without the need to seek shareholder approval. The allotment of 10,000,000 shares represented approximately 0.8% of IM Medical’s existing issued capital. The Company requires subsequent shareholder ratification in order to keep its 15% refreshed. The issue was made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and ratification is being sought to freshen up the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The 10,000,000 ordinary shares, as a sign on fee, related to the period before Tommas Bonvino became a director and hence does not require approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

The directors (with Mr Tommas Bonvino abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution .

6 Ratification of issue of shares in lieu of medical consultancy services

This resolution seeks shareholder approval to ratify the issue of shares to the Company’s cardiology consultant, Dr David Eccleston in recognition of the medical services that have been provided for the year ended 30 June 2007. The Company has issued 4,350,000 fully paid ordinary shares of the Company in lieu of $87,000 in services provided, calculated on the basis of 2 cents per share. The shares were issued to JCS Investment Group Pty Ltd, an entity nominated by Dr Eccleston.

The Company believes that the services provided to the Company have been of a high standard and the willingness of the consultant to forgo monetary compensation for their services and in lieu thereof, to receive equity in the Company is beneficial to the Company and has provided additional working capital that would not otherwise have been available.

Pursuant to Chapter 7 of the ASX Listing Rules, a company may within a 12 month period allot up to 15% of its issued capital (whether by way of shares or options) without the need to seek shareholder approval. The allotment of 4,350,000 shares represents approximately 0.4% of IM Medical’s existing issued capital. The Company requires subsequent shareholder ratification in order to keep its 15% refreshed. The issue was made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and ratification is being sought to freshen up the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

No funds are being raised from the issue of these securities. The shares issued rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s other issued fully paid shares. JCS Investment Group Pty Ltd is not a related party or associate of the Company; however, Dr. Eccleston is a current member of the company’s Scientific Advisory Board and was a director of the company from 29 December 2006 until 20 April 2007.

The directors recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution .

7 Appointment of auditors

The firm of Deloitte has been nominated as auditors of IM Medical Limited to replace PKF, who have resigned. The consent of Deloitte pursuant to section 328A of the Corporations Act and a nomination that Deloitte be appointed as auditor pursuant to section 328B of the Corporations Act has been received by the Company.
