ECO QUEST LIMITED ACN 104 037 372 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at 1/66 Mill Point Road, South Perth, Western Australia on Friday, 6 May 2011 at 11.00 am (WST).

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. Resolution 1 – Ratification of Share Issue

1.1 General

On 17 March 2011, the Company announced the completion of a placement of 10,427,000 Shares at $0.05 each to raise $521,350 before raising costs (Placement).

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the ratification of the prior Placement of 10,427,000 Shares.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue by a company of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if the company’s shareholders subsequently approve it.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval for, and ratification of, the issue of the securities in Resolution 1 in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

1.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4:

  • 1.2.2

  • the issue price was $0.05 per Share;

  • 1.2.4 the Shares issued pursuant to the Placement are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company; and

2. Resolution 2 – Ratification of Employee Option Issue

2.1 General

On 30 November 2010 the Company announced the issue of 2,000,000 Employee Options to the Company’s Sales and Marketing Manager - Australia.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 of the prior issue of those 2,000,000 Employee Options.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue by a company of securities made without approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the company’s shareholders subsequently approve it.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval for, and ratification of, the issue of the securities in Resolution 2 in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

2.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:

3. Resolution 3 – Ratification of Option Issue

3.1 General

On 28 March 2011 the Company announced the issue of 500,000 Options to the Company Secretary or his nominee.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue of those 500,000 Options.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

5

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue by a company of securities made without approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the company’s shareholders subsequently approve it.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval for, and ratification of, the issue of the securities in Resolution 3 in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

  • (d) the Options were issued to the Company Secretary; and

  • (e) no funds were raised from this issue as the Options were issued for nil consideration.

4. Resolutions 4 to 6 – Issue of Shares to Related Parties

4.1 General

As announced to the ASX on 17 March 2011, the Company undertook a capital raising (Placement) which raised $521,350 before costs. In conjunction with that Placement, the Company announced that it intended to give the Directors the opportunity to participate in a capital raising on the same terms as the Placement. However, pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company cannot issue or offer to issue Shares to the Directors without prior Shareholder approval.

Pursuant to Resolutions 4 to 6, each of the Directors (“Related Parties”) are now seeking the approval of Shareholders to issue Shares to the Directors on the same terms as the recently completed Placement, being at 5 cents per Share.

If any of Resolutions 4 to 6 are not passed, the Director to whom that Resolution relates will not be able to participate in the capital raising.

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

6

The issue of the Shares to the Related Parties requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and as Directors, Ms Sylvia Tulloch, Mr Michael Greenup and Mr Matthew Hiscox are related parties of the Company.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Shares to the Related Parties.

4.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Shares:

  • (a) the Related Parties are Ms Sylvia Tulloch, Mr Michael Greenup and Mr Matthew Hiscox and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:

  • (i) 200,000 Shares to Ms Sylvia Tulloch;

  • (ii) 200,000 Shares to Mr Michael Greenup; and

  • (iii) 200,000 Shares to Mr Matthew Hiscox;

  • (c) the Shares will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on one date;

The Directors note that the price of the Shares was set in order to be consistent with the price at which the Placement was recently completed;

  • (l) Ms Tulloch declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to her material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 4, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

  • (m) Mr Greenup declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 5.

  • (n) Mr Hiscox declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 6. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 6, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6. The Board (other than Mr Hiscox) is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 6.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Shares to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

This will give the holder of the Options the opportunity to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

(k) Adjustment for Bonus Issues of Shares

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction, of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment):

  • (i) the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of an Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the Option holder would have received if the Option holder had exercised the Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and

  • (ii) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.

13

(l) Adjustment for Rights Issue

If the Company makes an issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu of or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the Exercise Price of an Incentive Option will be reduced according to the following formula:

– New exercise price = O – E [P (S+D)]

N+1

  • O= the old Exercise Price of the Incentive Option.

  • E= the number of underlying Shares into which one (1) Option is exercisable.

  • P= average market price per Share weighted by reference to volume of the underlying Shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.

  • S= the subscription price of a Share under the pro rata issue.

  • D= the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying Shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue).

  • N= the number of Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one (1) new share.

(m) Adjustments for Reorganisation

If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the Option holder will be varied to comply with the Listing Rules which apply to the reconstruction at the time of the reconstruction.

(n) Quotation of Options

The Options will be unlisted Options. No application for quotation of the Options will be made by the Company until such time as the Company in its absolute discretion determines otherwise. Should the Company make an application for quotation of the Options and the ASX accepts the application for quotation of the Options then the Options will be listed options from the time that the ASX accepts such application.

(o) Options Transferable

The Options are transferable.

  • (p) Lodgement Instructions

Cheques shall be in Australian currency made payable to the Company and crossed "Not Negotiable". The application for shares on exercise of the Options with the appropriate remittance should be lodged at the Company's share registry.
