1. COMPANY OVERVIEW
1.1. Background
The Company was incorporated in Queensland on 13 January 2000 and was admitted to the Official List of the ASX on 10 October 2000. The Company’s principal area of business is the research, development and manufacture of medical products.
1.2. Suspension from trading and voluntary administration
On 1 October 2009 the Company was suspended from quotation on ASX for failing to lodge its 2009 financial accounts by 30 September 2009. The Company subsequently lodged its 2009 financial accounts on 8 October 2009, however, the Shares in the Company have not been reinstated to quotation on ASX.
On 31 December 2009, voluntary administrators were appointed by the Company to assume control of the business, property and affairs of the Company. Subsequently on 6 January 2010 two of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, OMI Manufacturing Pty Ltd and OMI Research Pty Ltd, were placed into liquidation.
Prior to the appointment of voluntary administrators, Retractable Technologies Inc. (RTI), a US corporation, commenced litigation against the Company in a Texas District Court alleging that the Company utilised RTI’s trade secrets and infringed its patents through the use of the Company’s auto-retractable safety syringe. In December 2009, the jury found in favour of RTI, and on 4 March 2010, US District Judge Leonard Davis awarded US$3.15 million damages in RTI’s favour.
1.3. Deed of Company Arrangement
On 6 May 2010, the Company, Sun Biomedical Limited (ASX Code: SBN) (Sun Biomedical) and the Deed Administrators entered into a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA). The DOCA proposes the restructure and recapitalisation of the Company with a view to reinstating the Company’s Shares to official quotation on the ASX (Proposal) . The full terms of the DOCA were released to ASX on 8 June 2010.
Under the DOCA the Deed Administrators are to be advance $130,000 (of which $15,000 has been advanced by Sun Biomedical), for contribution to the Creditors Trust to settle outstanding Claims made by creditors of the Company. The DOCA contemplated that payment of the Balance SBL Deed Contribution was conditional upon the Company issuing a prospectus in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act by 31 August 2010. This date was subsequently extended to 30 September 2010.
It is also proposed under the DOCA that the following occur:
- (a) Shareholder approval is obtained to implement the Proposal including;
Page 8
-
(i) the Consolidation of the Company’s issued securities on a one for five basis, following which the Company has 9,150,628 Shares on issue (which was completed on 5 August 2010);
-
(ii) approval for the Company to undertake a Promoter Offer and General Offer as follows:
-
(A) (Promoter Offer) the placement of 60 million Shares at a price of $0.0025 per Share together with 60 million free attaching Options exercisable at $0.005 per Option on or before 31 December 2013, to raise a total of $150,000; and
-
(B) (General Offer) the placement of 330 million Shares at a price of $0.005 per Share to raise $1,650,000 (with $115,000 of the funds raised to be paid to the creditors’ pool under the Creditors’ Trust) plus oversubscriptions of up to 150 million Shares to raise up to a further $750,000;
-
(C) the appointment of new Directors nominated by Sun Biomedical, being Mr Terry Cuthbertson, Mr Gary Stewart and Mr Michael Doery (which occurred on 26 July 2010); and
-
(D) the change of the Company’s name (the change to OMI Holdings Limited occurred on 12 August 2010);
-
-
(b) $115,000 will be paid to the Deed Administrators as the balance of the $130,000 that is to be contributed to the Creditors Trust; and
-
(c) under the Creditors Trust, the Deed Administrator may make a payment to the Company’s creditors in full and final satisfaction and in complete discharge of all claims which the Company’s creditors may have against the Company. Execution of the Creditors Trust on 21 September 2010 extinguished all liabilities owing by the Company to creditors in respect to the period prior to the commencement of the Company’s administration.
ASX has absolute discretion in reinstating the Company’s Shares to official quotation and the ASX and the Company gives no guarantee that reinstatement will occur.
- 1.4. The Proposal
On 26 July 2010 Shareholder approval was obtained in relation to the following aspects of the Proposal:
Page 9
-
(a) the Consolidation of the Company’s issued securities on a one for five basis, following which the Company has 9,150,628 Shares on issue;
-
(b) the undertaking of the capital raising as set out in this Prospectus to raise a total of $1,800,000 (being the Promoter Offer and the General Offer), and accept oversubscriptions for a further $750,000 (under the General Offer);
-
(c) the appointment of new Directors nominated by Sun Biomedical, being Mr Terry Cuthbertson, Mr Gary Stewart and Mr Michael Doery; and
-
(d) the change of the Company’s name to ‘OMI Holdings Limited’.
Certain funds advanced by SBN to fund this Prospectus and administration of the Company whilst it has been in administration will be payable by the Company to SBN and may be offset by SBN against subscription monies for the Promoter Offer.
1.5. Proposed business plan – OMI Sharpsafe
The Company now proposes to pursue the commericalisation of its product, the OMI Sharpsafe.
(a) Background
Medical syringe containers (also known as needle cases) have been available around the world for a long time. These containers function to protect the enclosed syringes from damage prior to use. Typically, the container comprises of a rigid housing in which a number of syringes are held. The housing can be opened and any number of syringes can be removed from it. It is also possible for these containers to accommodate used syringes.
A significant disadvantage of these containers is that they are not suitable for use with a needle exchange program. In a needle exchange program, a new needle (that is a syringe containing a needle) is given only when a used syringe is returned. With existing medical syringe containers, there is no mechanism to ensure that a used syringe is returned prior to a new syringe being given.
There is also the temptation for users to try to obtain new syringes without returning used syringes. Conventional containers do not have security measures against this type of abuse. Even if the container is locked, it can be forced open and a new syringe can be removed.
(b) What is OMI Sharpsafe
OMI Sharpsafe is an innovative medical syringe container. It differentiates itself from current designs in that the design does not allow access to a new syringe until a used
Page 10
syringe has been returned to the container. OMI Sharpsafe may therefore overcome one of the main disadvantages associated with existing medical syringe containers.

==> picture [230 x 62] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [230 x 62] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [230 x 62] intentionally omitted <==
OMI Sharpsafe typically holds between 2 to 10 conventional syringes and syringes with a needle stick prevention device. The inlet of the container is restricted such that it only allows syringes to be inserted through that inlet. This reduces the likelihood of success of a person attempting to insert an object other than a syringe to try to gain access to a new syringe. If a user does attempt to prise open the container, a snap mechanism is triggered and all syringes contained in the container are rendered inoperative.
(c) Potential market for OMI Sharpsafe
OMI Sharpsafe is designed to ensure the safe use of syringes both within and outside of direct medical supervision by providing a simple and effective way to safely store new and used syringes. The design is therefore particularly suited for use with needle exchange programs.
It is estimated that in Australia each illicit drug user accesses circa 202 needle syringes per year[1] . The Australian illicit drug user population over 14 years of age in 2007 was estimated to be in excess of 80,000[2] . The implication of this data is that circa 16 million

2 Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2008. 2007 National Drug Strategy Household Survey: first results. Drug Statistics Series number 20.Cat. no. PHE 98. Canberra: AIHW
Page 11
needle syringes (or circa 8% of all consumed needle syringes) are used by illicit drug users per year in Australia.
The Directors intend to focus the activities of the Company through the OMI Sharpsafe product to access potentially substantial market opportunity that arise from a need for safe management of needle exchange programs in Australia and the USA.
The substantial volume of syringes consumed each year has resulted in a greater number of injuries arising from the use of syringes. This has therefore become a catalyst for greater opportunities in the retractable-syringes market. In turn, OMI Sharpsafe is well positioned to assist in the prevention of needle stick injuries even further.
(d) Commercialisation plans for OMI Sharpsafe
In addition to its own resources, subject to implementation of the Proposal the Company has negotiated to engage Chelsea Medical Pty Ltd ( Chelsea Medical ) to assist in the process of commercialising OMI Sharpsafe. Of particular significance is that Mr Bruce Kiehne, the original founder of the Company and principal architect of OMI Sharpsafe, and Mr Mike Brooks, a Director of the Company, are directors of Chelsea Medical.
As part of this arrangement the Company and Chelsea Medical propose to enter into a services agreement whereby Chelsea Medical will provide services to the Company, in particular in relation to the commercialisation of United States Patent 7104400, such as:
-
(i) marketing intelligence;
-
(ii) assistance, research and commercialisation of the Company’s patents and intellectual property;
-
(iii) arrange the manufacturing logistics and negotiations with manufacturers of medical devices and pharmaceutical products;
-
(iv) prepare drawings and diagrams for the products and the design of moulds for the products;
-
(v) provide assistance in obtaining any FDA clearance or TGA approvals that may be required for the products;
-
(vi) marketing of the products through wholesale channels; and
-
(vii) assist and advise in relation to strategies for the distribution of the products.
Page 12
The agreement commences on the date that the Company or SBN makes payment of the Balance SBL Deed Contribution to the Deed Administrators, being $115,000, and subject to any prior termination by either party continues for a period of two years.
The Company may terminate the agreement in writing:
-
(i) by giving Chelsea Medical 3 months notice; or
-
(ii) immediately in certain circumstances, for example, where Chelsea Medical breaches a material provision of the agreement or is subject to an insolvency event.
As consideration for Chelsea Medical providing the services, the Company will pay an Initial Fee of $50,000 plus GST, and a Minimum Monthly Fee of $7,500 plus GST paid each month.
The agreement also contemplates that within 3 months of the agreement, the Company and Chelsea Medical will negotiate the following agreements:
-
(i) a distribution arrangement whereby the Company may appoint Chelsea Medical to act as a distributor for the products; and
-
(ii) a product development agreement whereby the Company may appoint Chelsea Medical to further develop the products.
The Company anticipates that the agreement with Chelsea Medical, together with a subsequent distribution arrangement and product development agreement, will enable the Company to pursue its business objectives and the commercialisation of its products.
(e) Patents previously held by the Company
On or about 19 April 2010 and 21 April 2010, the Deed Administrators entered into asset sale agreements with Southmedic Incorporated and Just Innovative Layouts Pty Ltd respectively in relation to the sale by the Company of certain patents held by the Company pertaining to a surgical scalpel with a retractable guard and a safety syringe respectively. These patents are distinct from the patents relevant to the Proposal (Australian Patent Application No. 2007200919, Pakistan Patent Application No. 198/2008, US Patent No. 7,104,400 and US Patent No. 7,544,182). The proceeds of these sales were applied to the Creditors’ Trust.
(f) US Patent No. 7,104,400
The US Patent No. 7,104,400 entitled ‘A Medical Syringe Container’ provides patent protection in the United States and may assist in the commercialisation of OMI Sharpsafe in the United States. The Company does not have any current patent protection for the
Page 13
OMI Sharpsafe in Australia. Furthermore, the claims submitted in a pending application cannot be considered predictive of the claims in a granted patent and earlier filed applications may constitute prior art which affect the patentability or claim scope of a pending application. The Company does not hold any active registered trade marks for OMI Sharpsafe in the United States at present but is the registered owner of trade mark protection for the OMI Sharpsafe in Australia. These factors may affect the commercial viability of the OMI Sharpsafe product and should be taken into consideration when assessing the commercial potential of the OMI Sharpsafe in the United States and Australia. There is a risk that the Company’s intellectual property or technology may not be able to be used in some or all jurisdictions without reliance on enabling technology owned by third parties.
(g) Other opportunities
In addition to the above the Company will actively review new transactions that may or may not be in the same sector, with the objective of creating Shareholder value. The Company does not intend to progress or pursue any of these opportunities until the capital raising contemplated by this Prospectus is complete.

Page 19
2.11. ASX Listing
The Company will apply to ASX for Official Quotation of the Shares offered under this Prospectus. The fact that ASX may grant official quotation to the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Securities now offered for subscription.
The Company will not be applying for official quotation by ASX of the Options offered under the Promoter Offer pursuant to this Prospectus.
In the event that ASX does not grant permission for the Shares offered under this Prospectus to be admitted to quotation within 3 months after the date of lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC (or such period as is varied by the ASIC), none of the Securities offered by this Prospectus will be allotted or issued. In that circumstance, all applications will be dealt with in accordance with the Corporations Act.
2.12. Restrictions on the Distribution of the Prospectus
The distribution of this Prospectus outside Australia may be restricted by law.
This Prospectus is not intended to, and does not, constitute an offer of, or invitation to apply for, securities in any place which, or to any person to whom, the making of such offer or invitation would not be lawful under the laws of any jurisdiction outside Australia.
2.13. CHESS and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company participated in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS). CHESS is operated by ASX Settlement Pty Ltd ( ASX Settlement ), a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. Prior to the issue of the Securities under this Prospectus the Company proposes to reapply for participation in CHESS.
The Company will not be issuing share certificates. The Company will apply to ASX to participate 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 and Promoter Options allotted 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.
Page 20
Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.
2.14. Taxation Implications
The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of applying for Securities under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation consequences. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Applicants. Potential Applicants should, therefore, consult their own professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus.
2.15. Privacy Act
If you complete an application for Securities, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or by the Company’s share registry). The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a Security holder, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Security holder and carry out administration.
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 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. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for Securities, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.
2.16. Risk Factors
Prospective investors in the Company should be aware that subscribing for Securities the subject of this Prospectus involves a number of risks. These risks are set out in Section 6 of this Prospectus and investors are urged to consider those risks carefully (and, if necessary, consult their professional adviser) before deciding whether to invest in the Company.
Page 21
The risk factors set out in Section 6 of this Prospectus, and other general risks applicable to all investments in securities not specifically referred to, may in the future affect the value of the Securities. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered speculative.

The Company's main corporate governance policies and practices are outlined below. The Board will consider on an ongoing basis its corporate governance procedures and whether they are sufficient given the Company’s nature of operations and size.
(a) The Board of Directors
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. The goals of the corporate governance processes are to:
-
(i) maintain and increase Shareholder value;
-
(ii) ensure a prudential and ethical basis for the Company's conduct and activities; and

(iii) ensure compliance with the Company's legal and regulatory objectives.

Page 27
The Company is committed to the circulation of relevant materials to Directors in a timely manner to facilitate Directors' participation in Board discussions on a fullyinformed basis.
(b) Composition of the Board
Election of Board members is substantially the province of Shareholders in general meeting. However, subject thereto, the Company is committed to the following principles:
-
(i) the Board is to comprise Directors with a blend of skills, experience and attributes appropriate for the Company and its business; and
-
(ii) the principal criterion for the appointment of new Directors is their ability to add value to the Company and its business.
(c) Board Responsibilities
The Board has ultimate responsibility for setting policy regarding the business and affairs of the Company for the benefit of Shareholders and other stakeholders. The Board has full responsibility for the affairs of the Company until after the recapitalisation of the Company under the Proposal, after which it may appoint executive officers to whom responsibility for management of the Company can be delegated.
In discharging their duties, and subject to the Chairman's approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Directors, at the Company's expense, may obtain independent professional advice on issues arising in the course of their duties.
The Board discharges its duties in relation to specific functions including independent verification of the integrity of financial reporting, and oversight and management of material business risks through the Audit, Risk & Remuneration Committee ( ARR Committee ).
(d) Audit, Risk & Remuneration Committee

Page 28
The Company in general meetings is responsible for the appointment of the external auditors of the Company, and the Board from time to time will review the scope, performance and fees of those external auditors.
The Board's collective experience will enable accurate identification of the principal risks that may affect the Company's business. Key operational risks and their management will be recurring items for deliberation at Board meetings.
(e) Remuneration Arrangements
The remuneration of any executive Director will be subject to provisions of a contract between the executive Director and the Company as fixed by the Board without the interested executive Director voting in respect of the proposed contract.
Total aggregate remuneration for all non-executive Directors totalling $500,000 (plus statutory superannuation) was approved at an annual general meeting in accordance with the Company's Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. The determination of non-executive Directors' remuneration within that maximum amount 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, the Company’s level of operations and available cash resources.
The Board may award additional remuneration to non-executive Directors called upon to perform extra services or make special exertions on behalf of the Company.
(f) Ethical Standards and Trading Policy
The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.
The Company’s Constitution permits Directors to acquire securities in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.
Trading in the Company’s securities is permitted by a Director during a four week period starting immediately after the announcement to the ASX and ASIC of the half-yearly and annual results and after the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders if:
(i) the trader is not in possession of price sensitive information; and (ii) the trading is not for short term or speculative gain.
Further, a Director may not sell more than $100,000 worth of securities in the Company unless, before entering into discussions for the potential sale of those
Page 29
securities, approval from the Chairman is obtained, covering the form of, and timing of the sale, and the management of its public disclosures.
(g) Timely and Balanced Disclosure
The Company’s continuous disclosure obligations are reviewed as a standing item on the agenda for each regular meeting of the Board. Directors are required at every meeting to provide details of any matter within their knowledge that might require disclosure to the market.

(A) Pro Rata Cash Issues
Where a pro-rata issue is made (except a bonus issue) to the holders of underlying securities, the exercise price of an Option may be reduced according to the following formula:
O’ = O – E[P-(S+D)]
N + 1
where:
-
O’ = the new exercise price of the Option.
-
O = the old exercise price of the Option.
-
E = the number of underlying securities into which one Option is Exercisable.
-
P = the average market price per security (weighted by reference to volume) of the underlying securities during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.
-
S = the subscription price for a security under the pro-rata issue.
-
D = the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying securities (except those to be issued under the pro-rata issue).
-
N = the number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new security.
(B) Pro-Rata Bonus Issues
If there is a bonus issue to the holders of the underlying
securities, on the exercise of any Options, the number of Shares received will include the number of bonus Shares that would have been issued if the Options had been exercised prior to the record date for bonus issues. The exercise price will not change.
(g) Takeovers and Schemes of Arrangement
- (i) If during the currency of any Options and prior to their exercise a takeover offer or a takeover announcement (within the meaning of the Corporations Act) is made to holders of Shares then within 10 Business Days after the Company becomes aware of the offer, the Company must
Page 35
forward a notice notifying the Optionholder of the offer and from the date of such notification, the Optionholder has 60 days within which to exercise the Options notwithstanding any other terms and conditions applicable to the Options or arrangement.

The Securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company’s business. The future profitability of the Company will be dependent on the successful commercial exploitation of its business and operations.
Whilst the Directors recommend the Offers, there are numerous risk factors involved. The following is a summary of the more material matters to be considered. These risk factors, and others not specifically referred to below, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the Securities 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 Securities. However, this summary is not exhaustive and potential investors should examine the contents of this Prospectus in its entirety and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for the Securities.
Factors which may affect the Company’s financial position, prospects and the price of its securities include the following:
6.2. Operating Risks
The performance of the Company and its ability to successfully conduct its business activities is not guaranteed.
The current and future operations of the Company may be affected by a range of factors, including:
-
(a) unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of labour, consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment; and
-
(b) inability to obtain necessary licences, consents or approvals.
In order for the Company to be able to commercialise its products in certain jurisdictions, the Company may be required to obtain governmental approvals, such as TGA approvals in Australia, FDA clearance in the United States or conformity to the European Union guidelines in Europe. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain these approvals in a timely manner or at all.
The Company is also required to comply with certain regulations, for example TGA medical device regulations and ISO quality standards. The Company is unable to
Page 37
guarantee that TGA restrictions would not limit the ability of the Company to sell its products in Australia. The Company may incur further restriction on the sale of the Company’s products in other jurisdictions such as the United States (and subject to obtaining any necessary FDA clearances) and the European Union.
6.3. Intellectual Property
The commercial value of the Company's technology is dependant on the legal protection afforded to it by intellectual property laws. However, these laws cannot guarantee, and the Company is unable to guarantee, compliance with the laws by other persons. Other persons may be able to produce competitive technology which does not infringe the Company's intellectual property rights. The Company may be required to defend claims of infringement by third parties or to prosecute claims against third parties. Litigation of this kind can be expensive and there can be no guarantee of success in any such litigation.
Furthermore, third parties may seek revocation of the Company's intellectual property rights. These rights (including patents and pending applications) may be subject to reexamination, opposition or other revocation proceedings (including on the basis of validity and prior art) which vary from country to country and the outcome of which cannot be predicted in advance. Furthermore, intellectual property or technology may not be able to be used in some or all jurisdictions without reliance on enabling technology owned by others. In addition, adverse events arising from the use of the Company's intellectual property or technology may give rise to potential liability or monetary claims against the Company or the revocation of regulatory approvals.
6.4. Marketability of OMI Sharpsafe
OMI Sharpsafe is particularly suited for use in needle exchange programs. The marketability of the Company’s proposed business plan, in the United States and Australia, is therefore dependent on the establishment and proliferation of such programs in these countries.
Further, there is a risk that the OMI Sharpsafe product may not be suitable for specific rules and methods of operation of particular needle exchange programs.
6.5.
Economic Risks
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's development and future activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
Page 38
6.6. Market Conditions
The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
6.7. Future Capital Requirements
The Company's ongoing activities will require substantial expenditure. There can be no guarantee that the funds raised through the Offers will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company's overall business strategy. If the Company is unable to continue to use debt or equity to fund expansion after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Offers, there can be no assurances that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional fundraising on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to security holders and any debt financing if available may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit the Company's operations and business strategy.
The Company's failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company's business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities.
6.8.
Technology
The Company has previously been innovative in its product offerings and range. The frequency and speed of technological change in this sector means that a third party product with alternative technology to the technology on which the Company's products are based could be brought to market.
6.9. Intellectual Property
Securing rights to intellectual property, and in particular patents, is an integral part of securing potential product value for the Company. Competition in retaining and sustaining protection of intellectual property and the complex nature of some intellectual property can lead to expensive and lengthy patents disputes for which there can be no guaranteed outcome.
Prior to the appointment of voluntary administrators, Retractable Technologies Inc. (RTI ) brought a successful claim against the Company in the United States alleging that the Company utilised RTI’s trade secrets and infringed its patents through the use of the Company’s auto-retractable safety syringe. The Company subsequently ceased use of the product and as a consequence of the Company being placed into administration and
Page 39
the signing of the Creditor’s Trust, the Company’s liability in respect of RTI’s claim has been extinguished.
6.10. Employees and Management
As the Company does not currently have any employees, the responsibility of conducting the Company’s operations and the strategic management is carried out by the Directors. The Board will seek to engage appropriately qualified executives as the Company’s level of operations and funding permit. There is no guarantee that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these appropriately qualified executives, once appointed, cease their employment with the Company.
6.11. Competition
There can be no assurance given in respect of the Company’s ability to continue to compete profitably in the competitive markets in which the Company operates. In particular, there is a risk that a competitor will commercialise a product before the Company that is similar and competitive to OMI Sharpsafe.
Accordingly there is a risk that the Company will not be able to continue to compete profitably in the competitive industry in which it intends to operate. The potential exists for the nature and extent of the competition to change rapidly, which may cause loss to the Company.
6.12. New Board
The Company has recently appointed a new board of Directors who have limited expertise in the industry in which the Company operates. It will therefore be important that the Company attracts the right personnel to ensure it can appropriately develop the Company's business moving forward.
6.13. Insurance
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has not obtained general insurance for its operations. However, following the recapitalisation of the Company pursuant to the Proposal, the Company will consider obtaining insurances as appropriate.
6.14. Other Projects
The Company may look to complete other investments and acquisitions in the future, the details of which are not known at the date of this Prospectus. Those acquisitions and investments will carry their own set of risks.
Page 40
6.15. Services Agreement
The Company and Chelsea Medical propose to enter into a services agreement whereby Chelsea Medical will provide services to the Company. A summary of the proposed services agreement is set out at Section 7.3 of this Prospectus.
In particular the agreement contemplates that within 3 months of the agreement, the Company and Chelsea Medical will negotiate the following agreements:
-
(i) a distribution arrangement whereby the Company may appoint Chelsea Medical to act as a distributor for the products; and
-
(ii) a product development agreement whereby the Company may appoint Chelsea Medical to further develop the products.
In the event that the distribution arrangement and product development agreement are not successfully negotiated within three months of the commencement date of the agreement, then the agreement may be terminated. There is a risk that if the agreement with Chelsea Medical is terminated, the Company may experience delays in engaging, or may not be able to engage, an alternative entity to assist it to pursue its business objectives as set out in this Prospectus.
6.16. General Securities Risk Factors
(a) Share Market
There are general risks associated with any investment and the share market. The price of Shares listed on the ASX may rise and fall depending on a range of actions beyond the Company’s control and which are unrelated to the Company’s financial performance. These factors may include movements on international stock markets, interest rates and exchange rates, together with domestic and international economic conditions, inflation rates, investor perceptions, changes in government policy, commodity supply and demand, government taxation and royalties, war, global hostilities and acts of terrorism.
(b) Liquidity Risk
There is no guarantee that there will be an ongoing liquid market for Shares. Accordingly, there is a risk that, should the market for Shares become illiquid, Shareholders will be unable to realise their investment in the Company.
(c)
Government Policy Changes
Government policies are subject to review and changes from time to time. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of the Company and may adversely
Page 41
affect the Company’s financial performance and industry profitability. At present the Company is not aware of any reviews or changes that would affect the business of the Company. However, changes in community attitudes on matters such as taxation, and competition policy may bring about reviews and possibly changes in government policies. There is risk that such changes may affect the Company’s business plans. Any government action may also require increased capital or operating expenditure and could impact the Company’s business.
(d) Taxation
The acquisition and disposal of Securities will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Securities from a taxation viewpoint and generally.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Securities under this Prospectus.
(e) Dividend Policy
Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings and operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.
(f) Transaction Specific Prospectus
Due to being in administration, the Company did not lodge all of the periodic reports required by the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. In particular, the Company has not lodged its Half Yearly Financial Report for the period ending 31 December 2009 by the required date. The lodgement of these outstanding reports is a condition to the Company’s Shares being re-instated to trading on the ASX.
The Company lodged these outstanding reports with ASX and ASIC on 21 and 22 September 2010. The Company’s failure to provide these periodic reports in accordance with the Corporations Act could result in the ASIC making an order that would prevent the Company issuing a transaction specific prospectus for a 12 month period.

7. MATERIAL CONTRACTS
Set out below is a summary of the contracts to which the Company is a party which may be material in terms of the Offers or the operation of the Company’s business.
7.1. Deed of Company Arrangement
On 6 May 2010, the Company, Sun Biomedical and the Deed Administrators entered into a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA). The DOCA proposes the restructure and recapitalisation of the Company with a view to reinstating the Company’s Shares to official quotation on the ASX (Proposal) . The full terms of the DOCA were released to ASX on 8 June 2010.
Under the DOCA the Deed Administrators are to be advanced $130,000 (of which $15,000 has been advanced by Sun Biomedical), for contribution to the Creditors Trust to settle outstanding claims made by creditors of the Company. It was also proposed under the DOCA that the following occur:
-
(a) Shareholder approval is obtained to implement the Proposal including;
-
(i) the Consolidation of the Company’s issued securities on a one for five basis, following which the Company has 9,150,628 Shares on issue (this was completed on 5 August 2010);
-
(ii) approval for the Company to undertake a Promoter Offer and General Offer:
-
(A) (Promoter Offer) the placement of 60 million Shares at a price of $0.0025 per Share together with 60 million free attaching Options exercisable at $0.005 per Option on or before 31 December 2013, to raise a total of $150,000; and
-
(B) (General Offer) the placement of 330 million Shares at a price of $0.005 per Share to raise $1,650,000 (with $115,000 of the funds raised to be paid to the creditors’ pool under the Creditors’ Trust) on or before 26 October 2010 plus oversubscriptions of up to 150 million Shares to raise up to a further $750,000;
-
(C) the appointment of new Directors nominated by Sun Biomedical, being Mr Terry Cuthbertson, Mr Gary Stewart and Mr Michael Doery (the new Directors were appointed on 26 July 2010); and
-
(D) the change of the Company’s name (which occurred on 12 August 2010); and
-
Page 43
- (b) $115,000 will be paid to the Deed Administrators as the balance of the $130,000 that is to be contributed to the Creditors Trust.
Shareholder approval for each element of the Proposal detailed above was obtained on 26 July 2010.
Under the DOCA the Deed Administrators are to be advance $130,000 (of which $15,000 has been advanced by Sun Biomedical), for contribution to the Creditors Trust to settle outstanding Claims made by creditors of the Company. The DOCA contemplated that payment of the Balance SBL Deed Contribution was conditional upon the Company issuing a prospectus in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act by 31 August 2010. This date was subsequently extended to 30 September 2010.
Clause 16 of the DOCA provided that the Company is released and completely discharged from all Claims and all Claims are extinguished once the Creditors’ Trust Deed became operative.
The DOCA may be terminated under clause 6 if:
-
(a) the Court makes an order terminating the deed in accordance with section 445D of the Corporations Act; or
-
(b) the Company’s creditors pass a resolution terminating the deed at a meeting convened in accordance with the Corporations Act; or
-
(c) the Deed Administrators execute a notice of termination of the deed.
7.2. Creditor’s Trust Deed
On 21 September 2010 the Company and the Deed Administrators entered into a Creditors Trust Deed. Under the Creditors Trust, the Deed Administrator may make a payment to the Company’s creditors in full and final satisfaction and in complete discharge of all claims which the Company’s creditors may have against the Company. Execution of the Creditors Trust extinguished all liabilities owing by the Company to creditors in respect to the period prior to the commencement of the Company’s administration.
7.3. Services Agreement with Chelsea Medical
The Company and Chelsea Medical propose to enter into a services agreement whereby Chelsea Medical will provide services to the Company, in particular in relation to the commercialisation of the OMI Sharpsafe product (as described in United States Patent 7104400), such as:
- (i) marketing intelligence;
Page 44
-
(ii) assistance, research and commercialisation of the Company’s patents and intellectual property;
-
(iii) arrange the manufacturing logistics and negotiations with the manufacturer of medical devices and pharmaceutical products;
-
(iv) prepare drawings and diagrams for the products and the design of moulds for the products;
-
(v) provide assistance in obtaining any FDA clearance or TGA approvals that may be required for the products;
-
(vi) marketing of the products through wholesale channels; and
-
(vii) assist and advise in relation to strategies for the distribution of the products.
The Company may terminate the agreement in writing:
-
(i) by giving Chelsea Medical 3 months notice; or
-
(ii) immediately in certain circumstances, for example, where Chelsea Medical breaches a material provision of the agreement or is subject to an insolvency event.
Otherwise, the term of the agreement is 2 years from payment of the Balance SBL Deed Contribution.
During the term of the agreement, where either party wishes to sell intellectual property relating to the relevant patents/products, the other party must be given a right of first refusal at the price and upon those terms and conditions at which it wishes to sell its interest.
As consideration for Chelsea Medical providing the services, the Company will pay an Initial Fee of $50,000 plus GST, and a Minimum Monthly Fee of $7,500 plus GST paid each month in arrears, commencing one month after the payment of the Balance SBL Deed Contribution plus fees for specialist services provided which are outside the scope of the services as agreed between the parties. This fee will be reviewed by the parties each quarter, taking into consideration, amongst other things, the amount of services provided by Chelsea Medical in the preceding quarter and the anticipated amount of services to provided in the upcoming quarter.
The agreement also contemplates that within 3 months of the agreement, the Company and Chelsea Medical will negotiate the following agreements:
Page 45
-
(iii) a distribution arrangement whereby the Company may appoint Chelsea Medical to act as a distributor for the products; and
-
(iv) a product development agreement whereby the Company may appoint Chelsea Medical to further develop the products.
In the event that the distribution arrangement and product development agreement are not successfully negotiated within three months of the commencement date of the agreement, then the agreement may be terminated.
It is intended that, as part of the services provided, Chelsea Medical will arrange the manufacturing logistics in relation to OMI Sharpsafe through negotiations with a third party manufacturer of medical devices and pharmaceutical products.
Chelsea Medical has granted the Company an undertaking that subject to:
-
(a) implementation of a successful capital raising as proposed at the general meeting; and
-
(b) OMI fulfilling its obligations under the DOCA and termination of the DOCA,
Chelsea Medical will enter into the services agreement with OMI. The Company anticipates that the services agreement with Chelsea Medical, together with the subsequent distribution arrangement and product development agreement, will enable the Company to pursue its business objectives and the commercialisation of its products.
A Director of the Company, Mr Mike Brooks, is also a director of Chelsea Medical.
7.4. Lead Manager Mandate

shares in the Company, without the prior written consent of Patersons for a period of 3 months commencing on the Closing Date of the Offers. This limitation also applies to any transaction having the economic effect of a sale.
The Company will use its best endeavours to ensure that during the period of 3 months commencing on the Closing Date of the Offers no current or proposed director of the Company or any related body corporate or their respective associates will sell, dispose or transfer any securities in the Company held by them as at the date of the prospectus without the prior consent of Patersons.

Patersons may terminate the Lead Manager Mandate at any time prior to allotment, if one or more of the following events occur in its sole and absolute opinion:
-
(a) the Australian equity capital market conditions and/or ASX trading conditions are such that they are not, in the bona fide judgement of Patersons, conducive to the successful completion of the mandate or other events beyond the control of Patersons are so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the new equity issue on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Lead Manager Mandate;

-
(d) any material adverse change or disruption occurs in the existing financial markets, political or economic conditions of Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States of America or the international financial markets or any material adverse change occurs in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is that, it is impracticable to market the new issue or to enforce any contract to issue and allot the new shares or that the success of the new issue is likely to be adversely affected;
-
(e) there is introduced, or there is a public announcement of a proposal to introduce, into the parliament of Australia or any state of Australia, a new law, or the Reserve Bank of Australia, any federal or state authority of Australia adopts or announces a proposal to adopt a new policy (other than a law or policy which has

7.5. SBN Loan Agreement
On 24 September 2010, the Company, the Deed Administrators and Sun Biomedical entered into the Loan Agreement. SBN has funded certain payments on behalf of the Company for the purposes of the Company’s recapitalisation. SBN has also agreed to advance or make direct payment to third parties for expenses incurred in connection with implementation of the Proposal and the Offers which become due and payable at the Second Repayment Date. The amount of these advances as at the date of this Prospectus are estimated at $131,000.
Amounts advanced by SBN, or paid directly by SBN on behalf of the Company, may be offset against any subscription SBN elects to make pursuant to the Promoter Offer and will otherwise be repayable in full upon completion of the Offer.
The Company has undertaken to pay the Balance SBL Deed Contribution to the Deed Administrators within 5 Business Days following the issue of Shares under the Proposal.
Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, if the Company fails to repay any of the Existing Loan, the Proposal Expenses, or the Balance SBL Deed Contribution by the repayment dates specified under the SBN Loan Agreement, interest of 10% per annum will become payable by the Company to SBN.

8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
8.1. Continuous Disclosure Obligations
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in Section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes 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 and is not subject to a carve out.
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 12 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 exchange conducted by ASX, except that the Company has not lodged all of the periodic reports required to be lodged under the ASX Listing Rules (in particular the December 2009 Half Yearly Financial Report). These outstanding reports must be provided before Shares of the Company will be re-instated to trading on the ASX. The Company lodged these reports with ASX and ASIC on 21 and 22 September 2010.
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;
