EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at the Lindsay Room, Amora Hotel, 11 Jamison Street, Sydney, New South Wales on Friday 14 September 2007 at 10.30am (EST).

Terms capitalised in this Explanatory Memorandum have the meaning given in Schedule 1.

The terms of the Shares are in the definitions in Schedule 1, the terms of the Options are in Schedule 2 and the terms of the Incentive Options are in Schedule 3.

1.1 Purpose of Placement and Further Placement

Under the Placement and Further Placement, the Company is seeking to raise up to $30 million in cash and convert $4.6 million of existing loans to fund:

  • (a) bankable feasibility studies into 3 - 4 coal seam methane projects in Queensland. The studies are to be carried out over 24 months and will investigate the feasibility of full-scale project developments;

  • (b) the continuation of drilling of Cooper Basin conventional gas assets in accordance with farmin commitments (estimated at less than $5 million to be expended from the $30 million raised); and

  • (c) general working capital for ongoing administrative expenses.

Part of the Placement has been used to repay principal of $4,600,000 and accrued interest of $109,275.63 owed to Chimaera CM Pty Ltd ( Chimaera ) under a loan agreement between the Company and Chimaera dated 13 April 2007.

The Shares and Options issued to Chimaera under the Placement were issued pursuant to an agreement between the Company and Chimaera dated 17 July 2007, details of which were announced to ASX on 18 July 2007.

The Shares and Options issued to CVC Limited under the Placement and Further Placement were issued pursuant to an agreement between the Company and Chimaera dated 17 July 2007, details of which were announced to ASX on 18 July 2007.

1.2 Escrow

All Shares issued to Chimaera and CVC Limited (including Shares issued on exercise of Options) under the Placement and Further Placement are subject to escrow for 12 months.

1.3 Issue price

As set out below, the Share issue price for:

070809 BUL NOM

5

  • (a) Chimaera was $0.15 in relation to the accrued interest amount and $0.18 in relation to the loan principal; and

  • (b) CVC Limited was $0.25 for the Placement and will also be $0.25 for the Further Placement.

Those issue prices compare to the volume weighted average price of the Company's shares on ASX prior to announcement of the Placement and Further Placement of $0.233 for the 60 days prior and $0.264 for the 30 days prior.

The $0.15 price for Chimaera's accrued interest amount was agreed in the loan agreement between the Company and Chimaera. The terms of this loan were agreed following the expiry of a Placement Agreement with BBY Limited and took into account the then adverse market conditions. The 14 day value weighted average price of the Company's shares as at the date of the loan agreement was 13.65 cents. The Directors agreed an issue price of $0.18 with respect to the repayment of the principal in connection with the equity funding package as announced on 18 July 2007 and subject to a 12 month Voluntary Escrow.

The Directors believe that the issue prices represent a commercially expedient result for the Company compared to the historical volume weighted average prices.

2. Resolution 1 – Ratification of Placement

2.1 Number of equity securities, price and allottees

On 18 July 2007, the Company issued a total of 39,888,791 Shares and 1,316,864 Options, each exercisable at 25 cents, under the Placement as follows:

  • (a) 26,284,061 Shares and 750,000 Options to Chimaera to repay principal and interest owed to Chimaera under a loan agreement between the Company and Chimaera. 25,555,556 Shares were issued at $0.18 each in relation to the principal amount of $4.6 million 728,505 Shares were issued at $0.15 each in relation to the $109,275.63 outstanding interest; and

  • (b) 13,604,730 Shares were issued at $0.25 each and 566,864 Options to CVC Limited.

2.2 Purpose

The funds raised, net of costs, have been applied to repay the loan and interest owed to Chimaera and the balance will be applied toward the project costs described under heading 1.1.

2.3 Ratification

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the Placement.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, a company may only issue a limited number of equity securities in any 12 month period.

The Company has used its 15% placement capacity under the Placement. The Company wishes to restore its 15% placement capacity and accordingly, under ASX Listing Rule 7.4, seeks Shareholder ratification of the Placement.

3. Resolution 2 – Approval of Further Placement

3.1 Reason for Resolution 2

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the Company to issue up to 106,395,270 Shares and 4,433,136 Options, each exercisable at 25 cents, under the Further Placement.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, without shareholder approval (but subject to certain exceptions), issue during any 12 month period any equity securities or other securities with rights conversion to equity (such as options) if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

As the issue of Shares and Options under the Placement fully utilised that 15% capacity, the Further Placement requires, and is subject to, Shareholder approval.

3.2

Specific Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3, information regarding the Further Placement is provided as follows:

  • (a) The maximum number of securities to be issued is 106,395,270 Shares and 4,433,136 Options.

  • (b) The securities will be issued within three months of the date of Shareholder approval.

  • (c) The issue price of the Shares will be $0.25 each.

  • (d) At the date of this Explanatory Memorandum, the names of the all the proposed allottees and the quantity to be issued to each allottee are not known. However, the Company will issue Shares up to 19.9% of the Company's expanded capital and all Options in the Further Placement to CVC Limited. CVC Limited plans to approach investors to whom a prospectus does not need to be provided under the Corporations Act, and who are not related parties to the Company to offer the balance of the Further Placement Shares.

  • (e) The Shares are ordinary fully paid Shares in the capital of the Company and were issued on the same terms and conditions of all other Shares. The Options, each exercisable at 25 cents, have the terms set out in Schedule 2.

  • (f) The Options were issued as part of the fees payable in relation to the Placement and Further Placement.

  • (g) The funds raised will be applied toward the project costs described under heading 1.1.

  • (h) The Shares and Options the subject of the Further Placement will be allotted as soon as practicable after the Meeting.

  • (i) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4. Resolution 3 – Authorisation of Grant of Incentive Options to a Director

4.1 General

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder authorisation pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the Directors to grant a total of 1,500,000 Incentive Options to Mr Brian McGillivray, a Director (or to his nominees) ( "Director Options Issue" ). Mr McGillivray was appointed a Director of the Company on 10 October 2006.

Shareholder approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and section 208 of the Corporations Act because Mr McGillivray as a Director is a related party of the Company. Furthermore, Shareholder authorisation of the Director Options Issue means that the Director Options Issue will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 Specific Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act information regarding the Director Options Issue is provided as follows:

  • (a) 1,500,000 Incentive Options will be issued to the Mr McGillivray, a Director (or to his nominees) as follows:
Name of Participating
Director
Number of
'A' Options
Number of
'C' Options
Total
Brian McGillivray 750,000 750,000 1,500,000

(b) The Company is a small listed energy and gas investment company. The Company has limited funds, most of which are allocated to specific exploration and development activities. As a result, the Board has chosen to issue Incentive Options to a Director as a key component of the incentive portion of his remuneration in order to retain the services of the Director and to provide incentive linked to the performance of the Company. The Board considers that the Director’s experience and contact base will greatly assist the Company in progressing its projects. As such, the Board believes that the number of Incentive Options to be granted to the Director is commensurate with his value to the Company.

The Company has set operational milestones and performance criteria for the Director to achieve, in line with its business objectives. Given the speculative nature of the Company’s activities and the small management team responsible for its running, it is considered the performance of the Directors and the performance and value of the Company are closely related. As such, the Incentive Options granted will generally only be of benefit if the Director performs to the level whereby the value of the Company increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the Incentive Options.

  • (c) The Incentive Options are being issued for nil consideration.

  • (d) The terms and conditions of the Incentive Options are detailed in Schedule 3.

070809 BUL NOM

8

  • (e) The Company will issue the Incentive Options no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow).

  • (f) In relation to the issue of Incentive Options to be issued to Mr McGillivray, a Director, each other Director is in favour of the Resolution and each other Director does not have an interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

  • (g) The total remuneration of Mr McGillivray (including remuneration by way of payment to consultant companies of Mr McGillivray) is as follows:

Participating Director Total remuneration
Brian McGillivray $198,000.00

The Directors are also entitled to reimbursement of all reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses that a Director or alternate Director properly incurs in attending meetings of Directors or any meetings of committees of Directors, in attending any meetings of members and in connection with the business of the Company. Other than as set out in this Notice, the Directors do not receive any other emoluments.

  • (h) The current security holding of Mr Brian McGillivray is as follows:
Name of Participating
Director
Total securities held directly or
indirectly
Brian McGillivray 6,000,000 Ordinary Shares
333,334 options exercisable at 40 cents
333,333 options exercisable at 50 cents
333,333 options exercisable at 60 cents

(i) A valuation of the Incentive Options has been obtained from an independent expert and, on the basis of the assumptions set out below, the technical value of one Incentive Option is as follows:

This valuation imputes a total value of $223,500 to the Incentive Options. This value may go up or down after the date of valuation as it will depend on the future price of a Share. Black & Scholes and Binomial methodology has been used, together with the following assumptions:

  • (i) the risk free rate is the Commonwealth Government securities rate with a maturity date approximating that of the expiration period of the Incentive Options;

  • (ii) the underlying security spot price used for the purposes of this valuation is based on the price of the Shares as at 1 August 2007;

  • (iii) for the purposes of the valuation, no future dividend payments have been forecast; and

  • (iv) for the purposes of the valuation it is assumed that the Incentive Options will not be exercised any earlier than the Expiry Dates as described in Schedule 3 .

  • (j) The following tables demonstra te the dilution of all other Shareholders’ holdings in the Company upon exercise of all Director Options issued to Mr McGillivray in accordance with Resolution 3, assuming the Shareholders approve the proposed grant of the Director Options Issue:

Dilution effect on current and future shareholding upon the exercise of Incentive Options

Incentive Options
Shares on issue at date of this Notice 334,840,404
Shares proposed to be issued under Resolution 2 106,395,270

under Resolution 3
1,500,000
Total Shares on issue assuming exercise of all Incentive
Options under Resolution 3
442,735,674
Dilution Effect (est.) 0.34%
  • (k) Under the accounting standard AASB Share based Payments, the Company would recognise the fair value of options granted to Mr McGillivray as an expense of $223,500 in its income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

  • (l) The market price of Shares would normally determine whether the Director will exercise the Incentive Options or not. If the Incentive Options are exercised at a price that is lower than the price at which Shares are trading on ASX, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

  • (m) No funds will be raised by the issue of the Incentive Options as they are being issued for nil consideration.

  • (n)

  • Historical share price information for the last twelve months is as follows:

Price per Share Date
High $0.44 20 July 2007

070809 BUL NOM

10

Price per Share Date
Low $0.11 22 March 2007

The share price at 8 August 2007 was $0.27.5.

The exercise prices of the Incentive Options compare to the volume weighted average price of the Company's shares on ASX prior to announcement of the Placement and Further Placement of $0.233 for the 60 days prior and $0.264 for the 30 days prior. The volume weighted average price of the Company's shares on ASX for the 60 days prior to 2 August 2007 was $0.289.

  • (o) Other than the information above and otherwise set out in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Company believes that there is no other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to pass Resolution 3 which is known to the Company or its Directors.

  • (p) A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.

  • (q) As Shareholder approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required.
