2.4 Risk factors

Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Shares in the Company involves a number of risks. The key risk factors of which investors should be aware are set out in Section 6 of this Prospectus. These risks together with other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities not specifically referred to, may affect the value of the Shares in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. Investors should consider consulting their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

A summary of some of the Company’s key specific risks include:

Risk	Description	Reference in Prospectus
Additional Requirements for Capital and Going Concern	The Company’s half yearly financial report for the year ended 31 December 2019 includes a note to the financial statements on the financial condition of the Company and the existence of a material uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding the ‘going concern’ paragraph included in the financial report, the Directors have stated that they have reviewed their expenditure and commitments and have implemented methods of costs reduction. The directors are satisfied that, the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate.	Section 6.2(a)
Development and commercialisation of technologies	Although the Company will implement all reasonable endeavours to protect its technologies, there can be no assurance that these measures have been, or will be, sufficient.	Section 6.3(a)
Research and development	The Company can make no representation that any of its research into or development of the technologies will be successful, that the development milestones will be achieved, or that the technologies will be developed into products that are commercially exploitable.	Section 6.3(b)
Oil and gas industry risks	The Company has a 22.3% interest in Advent Energy Ltd (Advent). Risks associated with this significant investment include but are not limited to risks associated with failure to discover an economic reserve or successfully produce from a reserve, fluctuations in oil and gas prices, no guarantee of permit renewals or granting of production licences, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s investment.	Section 6.3(c)

1939-01/2254329_2

Risk	Description	Reference in Prospectus
Nature of the Company’s existing investments	The Company’s existing investments include its equity investment in Advent with a carrying value of $2.56 million, a 20% interest in MD Systems with a carrying value of $0.43 million and a 19.9% interest and the right to go up to approximately 16% in Cortical Dynamics Ltd.The Company can make no representations that any of these projects will be successful, that the Company’s development milestones will be achieved or that it will develop products that are commercially exploitable.	Section 6.3(d)
COVID-19	The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. The Directors are monitoring the situation closely and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and financial performance. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. In compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations, the Company will continue to update the market in regard to the impact of the coronavirus on its revenue channels and adverse impact on the Company. If any of these impacts appear material prior to close of the Offer, the Company will notify investors under a supplementary prospectus.	Section 6.4(a)
Growth Challenges	A part of the Company’s strategy is to grow annual cash flows through the sale of products that the Company has identified because of COVID-19. The Directors believe significant future growth may require expansion of current commercial production and/or research facilities. The Company’s future success will depend, in part, on its ability to manage this anticipated expansion. Such expansion is expected to place demands on all areas	Section 6.2(d)

5. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SHARES

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to Shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with Section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:

• (i) each shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

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

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

(c)

Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be

10

1939-01/2254329_2

applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

(d) Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

(e) Shareholder liability

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

(f) Transfer of Shares

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

(g) Future increase in capital

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

(h) Variation of rights

Pursuant to Section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.

11

1939-01/2254329_2

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

(i) Alteration of constitution

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

6. RISK FACTORS

6.1 Introduction

The Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

6.2 Company specific

(a) Going Concern Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s half yearly report for the period ended 31 December 2019 ( Half Yearly Report ) includes a note to the financial statements on the financial condition of the Company and the existence of items of material uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The report notes that:

The entity has incurred a net loss before tax for the period ended 31 December 2019 of $754,862 (2018: profit of $428,527) and has a working capital deficit of $1,131,455 as at 31 December 2019 (June 2019: $941,825). Included in other payables are amounts payable to the current directors of the company of $786,385 (June 2019: $812,783).

The directors have reviewed their expenditure and commitments for the consolidated entity and have implemented methods of costs reduction. The directors, as a part of their cash monitoring, have voluntarily suspended cash payments for their director’s fees to conserve cash resources and they have confirmed that they will not call for repayment of their balances of $786,385 for a period of 12 months or until the Company is financially able to support these payments. Subsequent to year end Grandbridge Limited has confirmed that the $121,085 loans provided to the consolidated entity at 31 December 2019 will not be called upon for repayment if the BPH directors are of the opinion that such an action would compromise BPH’s financial solvency.

The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts, including potential capital raisings, which indicate that the consolidated entity should have sufficient cash flows for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report. Based on the cash flow forecasts, including directors voluntarily suspending cash payments for their director fees, the directors are satisfied that, the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. The financial report has therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

13

1939-01/2254329_2

Should the consolidated entity not be successful in raising additional funds through the issue of new equity, should the need arise there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to whether or not the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore, whether it will realise its assets and discharge its liabilities as and when they fall due and in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relative to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or, to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.

(b) Loans and Company Specific Investments

The Half Year Report further indicates a material that may affect the ability of Advent to realise the carrying value of the exploration assets in the ordinary course of business and may affect the ability of the Company to realise the carrying value of its loan receivable and its investment in Advent in the ordinary course of business.

As of 1 January 2017, a judgement was made that, despite owning 27% of Advent, the Company no longer exercised significant influence over Advent and it ceased to be treated as an associate entity from that date. In particular, the Company was not involved in the operational decision making of Advent and did not have access to its operational and financial records. If an entity holds, directly or indirectly, twenty per cent or more of the voting power of an investee it is presumed that the entity has significant influence, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case.

On 6 August 2019 the Company entered into a Deed of Settlement and Release with Advent, MEC, GBA, Trandcorp Pty Ltd ( Trandcorp ) and Mr David Breeze and other relevant parties. As a condition of this Deed it was agreed that Messrs Matthew Battrick and Tobias Foster would appoint Messrs Steven James, Tony Huston and Thomas Fontaine as directors of Advent, and that Messrs Matthew Battrick and Tobias Foster would then resign from the Board of Advent. The incoming directors have since confirmed and acknowledged Mr David Breeze as a duly elected director of Advent. The existence of significant influence by an BPH over Advent from the date of the Deed is evidenced by Mr David Breeze being the Managing Director of both BPH and Advent, MEC no longer have a MEC Board position, and, if at any time before 23 July 2021 Advent has less than 51 members then MEC, who currently holds 49% of Advent will, upon written request by BPH, execute an irrevocable proxy in favour of BPH in respect of all business to be considered at any meeting of members of Advent.

As a consequence the Company regained significant influence over Advent and Advent has once again been recognised as an associate of BPH from 6 August 2019.

In the June 2018 year Advent’s management at that time assessed capitalised costs for impairment by reference to the value implied for the PEP 11 permit by virtue of a conditional farmin agreement entered into with RL Energy Pty Ltd. Based on this assessment the asset was considered to be impaired and an adjustment to the fair value was booked at 30 June 2018. This farmin agreement was terminated on 17 September 2019 and therefore the write down of $18,780,680 booked to the fair value at

14

1939-01/2254329_2

30 June 2018 was pre-emptive. In the current period the Advent directors have assessed the valuation of the PEP 11 permit against what they consider a comparable transaction with the result that the 2018 year PEP 11 impairment has been reversed to the extent of $6,882,247 resulting in the $1,486,099 share of an associate profit recognized by BPH in the half year. Notional goodwill of $933,354 was not brought to account on recognition of Advent as an associate again from 6 August 2019.

Advent is continually seeking and reviewing potential sources of both equity and debt funding. Advent is now embarking on a fresh marketing campaign to attract new investors and/or joint venture partners. Management has confidence that a suitable outcome will be achieved however there is no certainty at this stage that this will result in further funding being made available. Asset Energy Pty Ltd has invested over $25 million in the PEP11 title in recent history and, along with its JV partner Bounty Oil and Gas NL, is committed to continuing to explore for and ultimately exploit any petroleum accumulations which may be identified in this title area. If Advent is unable to source further funding for each of PEP11, RL1 and EP 386 each of these permits are at risk.

The above conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may affect the ability of Advent to realise the carrying value of the exploration assets in the ordinary course of business and may affect the ability of the Company to realise the carrying value of its loan receivable and its investment in Advent in the ordinary course of business.

The funds raised under the Offer are considered sufficient to meet the current proposed objectives of the Company. Additional funding may be required in the event future costs exceed the Company’s estimates and to effectively implement its business and operations plans in the future, to take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business opportunities, and to meet any unanticipated liabilities or expenses which the Company may incur.

The Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures or other means. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing might not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.

(c) ASX Re-compliance

Shareholders should note that any future investment by the Company in medical cannabis will be reviewed by ASX and the Company may be required to re-comply with chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

(d) The Company may face challenges managing the planned growth of its business

A strategy of the Company is to grow annual cash flows through the sale of COVID-19 related products. The Directors believe significant future growth may require expansion of current commercial production and/or research facilities. The Company’s future success will depend, in part, on its ability to manage this anticipated expansion. Such expansion is expected to place demands on all areas of the business and if the Company group is unable to manage its expansion effectively, its business and financial results could suffer.

15

1939-01/2254329_2

Further, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to implement its strategy for growth successfully. The Company may incur significant costs attempting to implement its growth strategies and initiatives and the management could be diverted away from existing business functions in its attempts to implement those strategies and initiatives. This could lead to the Company suffering reputational damage and a loss of support from customers and could have a material adverse effect on the business and cash flows, business prospects, financial condition and results of its operations.

6.3 Industry Specific

(a) Development and commercialisation of technologies

Securing rights to technologies, and in particular patents, is an integral part of securing potential product value in the outcomes of biotechnology research and development. Competition in retaining and sustaining protection of technologies and the complex nature of technologies can lead to expensive and lengthy patents disputes for which there can be no guaranteed outcome.

The granting of a patent does not guarantee that the rights of others are not infringed or that competitors will not develop competing technologies that circumvents such patents. The Company’s success depends, in part, on its ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. Because the patent position of biotechnology companies can be highly uncertain and frequently involve complex legal and scientific evaluation, neither the breadth of claims allowed in biotechnology patents nor their enforceability can be predicted. There can be no assurance that any patents the Company or Universities may own or control or licence now and in the future will afford the Company commercially significant protection of the technologies, or that any of the projects that may arise from the technologies will have commercial applications.

Although the Company is not aware of any third party interests in relation to the technologies rights of the technologies, and has taken steps to protect and confirm its interest in these rights, there is always a risk of third parties claiming involvement in technological and medical discoveries, and if any disputes arise, they could adversely affect the Company.

Although the Company will implement all reasonable endeavours to protect its technologies, there can be no assurance that these measures have been, or will be sufficient.

(b) Research and development

The Company can make no representation that any of its research into or development of the technologies will be successful, that the development milestones will be achieved, or that the technologies will be developed into products that are commercially exploitable.

There are many risks inherent in the development of biotechnology products, particularly where the products are in the early stages of development. Projects can be delayed or fail to demonstrate any benefit, or research may cease to be viable for a range of scientific and commercial reasons

16

1939-01/2254329_2

(c) Oil & gas industry risks

Significant investment: the Company has a 22.3% interest in Advent Energy Ltd ( Advent ). Risks associated with this significant investment include:

• (i) Illiquid investment : as Advent is an unlisted entity, there is a risk that there will not be a ready market for the Company to sell its Advent Energy shares.

• (ii) Oil and gas exploration: the business of oil and gas exploration, project development and production, by its nature, contains elements of significant risk with no guarantee of success. A failure to discover an economic reserve, or to successfully produce from such a reserve, will adversely affect Advent Energy’s performance and have a resulting effect on the value of the Company’s investment in Advent Energy.

• (iii) Oil and gas price volatility : fluctuations in oil and gas prices and, in particular, a material decline in the price of oil or gas, may have a material adverse effect on Advent’s business and therefore the value of the Company’s investment in Advent Energy.

• (iv) Exploration and production licences: Advent’s operations are dependent upon the grant of appropriate licences, concessions, leases, permits and regulatory consents, which may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. There is no guarantee that, upon completion of any exploration, a production licence will be granted with respect to exploration territory. There can also be no assurance that any exploration permit will be renewed or if so, on what terms.

These licences place a range of past, current and future obligations on Advent. In some cases, there could be adverse consequences for breach of these obligations, ranging from penalties to, in extreme cases, suspension or termination of the relevant licence or related contract. These may then affect the Company’s investment in Advent Energy.

• (v) Expansion targets and operational delays: There can be no assurance that Advent will be able to complete any development of its properties on time or to budget, or that the current personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support Advent’s operations. Any failure of management to identify problems at an early stage could have an adverse impact on Advent’s financial performance.

• (vi) Resources, reserves and production: The figures for oil & gas reserves and resources presented in this Prospectus where given are estimates and no assurance can be given that the anticipated figures will be achieved or that the indicated level of recovery will be realised. Market fluctuations in the price of oil & gas may render oil & gas reserves and resources uneconomical. Moreover, short-term operating factors relating to oil & gas reserves and resources, such as the need for orderly development of an oil & gas reservoir may cause an oil & gas

17

1939-01/2254329_2

operation to be unprofitable in any particular accounting period.

• (vii) Limited operating history: Advent may not have assets producing positive cash flow and its ultimate success may depend on its ability to generate cash flow from active oil & gas operations in the future and its ability to access equity markets for its development requirements. Advent has not made profits to date and there is no assurance that it will do so in the future. A portion of Advent’s activities will be directed to the search for and the development of new oil & gas deposits. Significant capital investment will be required to achieve commercial production from Advent’s existing projects and from successful exploration efforts. There is no assurance that Advent will be able to raise the required funds to continue these activities.

• (viii) Additional financing: Advent is required to fund its share of approved exploration expenditure on certain of the properties on which it has exploration rights, failing which Advent’s exploration rights in the relevant property may be either reduced or forfeited. Advent may acquire exploration rights in other exploration properties which may require acquisition payments to be made and exploration expenditures to be incurred. The only sources of funding currently available to Advent are through the issue of additional equity capital, project finance or borrowing. There is no assurance that Advent will be successful in raising sufficient funds to commence drilling or production operations or to meet its obligations with respect to the exploration properties in which it has or may acquire exploration rights. The Directors currently believe that Advent’s working capital will not be sufficient to fund operations. Advent Energy will therefore have to seek additional financing for operations at a later date.

• (ix) Regulatory approvals: Advent’s operations and the exploration agreements which it has entered into require approvals, licences and permits from various regulatory authorities, governmental and otherwise (including project specific governmental decrees). Such approvals, licences and permits are subject to change in various circumstances and further project specific governmental decrees and/or legislative enactments may be required. There can be no guarantee that Advent will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary approvals, licences and permits that may be required and/or that all project specific governmental decrees and/or required legislative enactments will be forthcoming to explore for oil & gas and develop the properties on which it has exploration rights, commence construction or operation of production facilities or to maintain continued operations that economically justify the costs involved.

• (x) Environmental factors: Advent’s operations are subject to environmental regulation (including regular environmental impact assessments and the requirement to obtain and maintain certain permits) in all the jurisdictions in which it operates. Such regulation covers a wide variety of matters, including, without limitation, prevention of waste, pollution and protection of the

18

1939-01/2254329_2

environment, labour regulations and health and safety. Advent may also be subject under such regulations to clean-up costs and liability for toxic or hazardous substances which may exist on or under any of its properties or which may be produced as a result of its operations. Environmental legislation and permitting requirements are likely to evolve in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their directors and employees.

• (xi) Competition: The oil & gas exploration and production business is competitive in all of its phases. Advent competes with numerous other companies and individuals, including competitors with greater financial, technical and other resources than itself, in the search for and acquisition of exploration and development rights on attractive oil & gas properties. Advent’s ability to acquire exploration and development rights on properties in the future will depend not only on its ability to develop the properties on which it currently has exploration and development rights, but also on its ability to select and acquire exploration and development rights on suitable properties for exploration and development. There is no assurance that Advent will continue to be able to compete successfully with its competitors in acquiring exploration and development rights on such properties.

• (xii) Currency risk: Currency fluctuations may affect the cash flow that Advent hopes to realise from its operations, as oil & gas is sold and traded on the world markets in United States dollars. Advent’s costs are incurred primarily in Australian dollars and United States dollars.

• (xiii) Uninsured risks: Advent Energy, as a participant in exploration and mining programmes, may become subject to liability for hazards that cannot be insured against or against which it may elect not to be so insured because of high premium costs. Advent Energy may incur a liability to third parties (in excess of any insurance cover) arising from pollution or other damage or injury.

• (xiv) Market perception : Market perception of small oil & gas exploration companies may change and this could impact on the value of the Company’s holdings and impact on Advent’s ability to raise further equity capital.

• (xv) Unitisation: In the case of any cross-border discovery or cross permit discovery involving another permit holder, the Company will be required to share production in accordance with the requirements of the relevant regulatory authorities of Western Australia, and/or the Northern Territory, and/or South Australia, and/or New South Wales, or of any relevant unitisation agreements agreed to between the parties, as the case may be.

(d) Nature of BPH’s existing investments

As noted above, the Company’s existing investments include an equity investment in Advent and further 20% interest in MDS with a carrying value

19

1939-01/2254329_2

of $0.43 million and a 16 % interest in Cortical with a carrying value of $Nil million.

The Company can make no representations that any of these projects will be successful, that the Company’s development milestones will be achieved or that it will develop products that are commercially exploitable. Further, the Company’s success depends, in part, on its ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. Because the patent positions of biotechnology companies can be highly uncertain and frequently involve complex legal and scientific evaluation, neither the breadth of claims allowed in medical device patents, nor their enforceability, can be predicted. There can be no assurance that any patents the Company may own or control or license now and, in the future, will afford the Company commercially significant protection of its intellectual property or its projects or have commercial application. While the Company is not aware of any third party interests in its intellectual property rights and has taken steps to protect and confirm its interest in these rights, there is always a risk of third parties claiming involvement in technological and medical discoveries and if any such disputes arise, they could adversely affect the Company.

(e)

Regulatory risk

The introduction of new legislation or amendments to existing legislation by governments, developments in existing common law, or the respective interpretation of the legal requirements in any of the legal jurisdictions which govern the Company’s operations or contractual obligations, could impact adversely on the assets, operations and, ultimately, the Company’s financial performance and its Securities. In addition, there is a commercial risk that legal action may be taken against the Company in relation to commercial matters.

(f)

Potential acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of or significant investments in complementary companies, products or technologies. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products and technologies.

(g) Climate Change Risks

Transitioning to a lower-carbon economy may entail extensive policy, legal, technology and market changes to address mitigation and adaption requirements related to climate change. Depending on the nature, speed and focus of these changes, transition risks may pose varying levels of financial and reputational risk to the Company. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences.

6.4 General risks

(a) Coronavirus (COVID-19) risk

The outbreak of COVID-19 is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of

20

1939-01/2254329_2

the Company remains unknown. The Company’s Share and Quoted Options price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company.

The Directors are monitoring the situation closely and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and financial performance. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. In compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations, the Company will continue to update the market in regard to the impact of the coronavirus on its revenue channels and adverse impact on the Company. If any of these impacts appear material prior to close of the Offer, the Company will notify investors under a supplementary prospectus.

(b)

General economic conditions

Economic conditions, both domestic and global, may affect the performance of the Company. Factors such as fluctuations in currencies, commodity prices, inflation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption may have an impact on operating costs and share market prices. The Company's future possible revenues and Share price can be affected by these factors, all of which are beyond the control of the Company or its Directors.

(c)

Equity market conditions

Securities listed on the stock market can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. The market price of Shares may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general.

General factors that may affect the market price of Shares include economic conditions in both Australia and internationally (particularly Australian, US and Chinese economic conditions), investor sentiment, local and international share market conditions, changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation, variations in commodity prices, the global security situation and the possibility of terrorist disturbances, changes to government regulation, policy or legislation, changes which may occur to the taxation of companies as a result of changes in Australian and foreign taxation laws, changes to the system of dividend imputation in Australia, and changes in exchange rates.

(d)

Change in government policy and legislation

Any material adverse changes in relevant government policies or legislation of Australia may affect the viability and profitability of the Company, and consequent returns to investors. The activities of the Company are subject to various federal, state and local laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health and safety, and other matters.

21

1939-01/2254329_2

(e) Reliance on key management and personnel

The Company is dependent on its management, the loss of whose services could materially and adversely affect the Company and impede the achievements of its research and development objectives. Because of the specialised nature of the Company’s business, its ability to commercialise its products and maintain its research programme will depend in part upon its ability to attract and retain suitably qualified management, scientists and research people over time. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract or retain sufficiently qualified personnel on a timely basis, retain its key scientific and management personnel, or maintain its relationship with key scientific organisations.

(f) Market conditions

The market price of the Company’s Securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in biomedical development stocks in particular.

Accordingly, investors should recognise that the price of the Securities may fall as well as rise. In particular, the trading price of Shares at any given time may be higher or lower than the price paid under the Offer. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on the Company’s Securities.

(g) Insurance

The Company will have insurance in place considered appropriate for the Company’s needs. The Company will not be insured against all possible losses, either because of the unavailability of cover or because the Directors believe the premiums are excessive relative to the benefits that would accrue. The Directors believe that the insurance the Company has in place is appropriate. The Directors will continue to review the insurance cover in place to ensure that it is adequate.

(h) Unforeseen expenditure risk

Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account in the preparation of this Prospectus. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.

6.5 Speculative investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus

Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.

22

1939-01/2254329_2

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

23

1939-01/2254329_2

7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

7.1 Litigation

(a) Writ

The Company is party to a Writ of summons commenced in the District Court of Western Australia in which former directors Goh Hock and Deborah Ambrosini are claiming unpaid directors’ fees from the Company. The Company disputes this position and is defending such claims.

On 19 November 2019, the parties to the proceedings agreed to a standstill in so far that neither party be permitted to take any further action until September 2020.

(b) Statutory Demand

As announced on 17 June 2020, Advent and Advent Energy Pty served notices of demand on MEC in respect of costs incurred by Advent and Asset but claimed by MEC in its 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2019 annual Research and Development Tax Incentive claims with the Australian Taxation Office. The claim against MEC by Advent is $242,155.21, and by Asset $593,343.17.

7.2 Continuous disclosure obligations

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

This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms a “transaction specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

24

1939-01/2254329_2

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:

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

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

• (c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

• (i) the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with the ASIC;

• (ii) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with the ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC; and

• (iii) any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company or an ASIC office during normal office hours.

Remuneration

The remuneration of an executive Director is decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process. The total maximum remuneration of non-executive Directors is initially set by the Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director.

A Director may be paid fees or other amounts (ie non-cash performance incentives such as Options, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval) as the other Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. In addition, Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.

The following table shows the total (and proposed) annual remuneration paid to both executive and non-executive directors.

Director	2018	2019	2020
David Breeze	$148,000	$148,000	$148,000

If you have not, please phone the Company on +61 8 9328 8366 and the Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of the Prospectus, or both. Alternatively, you may obtain a copy of this Prospectus from the Company’s website at www.bphenergy.com.au.

The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.

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

The Company will not be issuing share certificates. The Company is a participant in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Shares issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company’s share registry.

You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company or its share registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
