Richard K. Llewellyn (Age 56) (Non Executive Director) Appointed 20 September 2005.

A Company Director with 35 years experience in many senior marketing and management roles primarily in the financial services and IT&T sectors. Mr Llewellyn was CEO of an Australian IT company that grew 10 fold in five years. Vice president and member of the Executive Committee of a NYSE listed IT&T company. Over the past fifteen years involved in managing numerous corporate advisory and funding projects with a total value in excess of $A1 billion. National judge of theTelstra Small Business Awards. Founding member of the AICD and Fellow of AIM. Director and founder of Nextec Strategic Capital. Mr Llewellyn is a member of the Audit Committee.

Resolution 3 (Item 3) Director’s remuneration

The maximum aggregate directors’ remuneration currently stands at $150,000.00 since 1999 when the issue was last addressed at general meeting. It is proposed that this limit be raised by $350,000.00 to $500,000.00, to be the maximum amount of remuneration as an aggregate amount for all directors as a whole. This figure is to be an upper limit and it is expected that actual remuneration will remain below this limit for some time. Since this issue was last addressed in 1999 the company has grown and expanded into new markets, giving rise to a greater need to attract and retain talented directors so that the company may continue to capitalize on its current growth initiatives.

The company is in the process of examining several potential acquisition and technology transfer opportunities. Any consequent growth of the company will require additional independent directors and may require board representation by vendor representatives. The proposed increase on aggregate directors’ remuneration will allow for these developments.

The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Listing Rules 10.17 provides that Directors of the Company must be excluded from voting on this resolution. The following statement is made in accordance with Listing Rule 10.17.1:

    1. The Company will disregard any votes on this resolution by: a) A director of the company excluded from voting and;
    • b) An associate of that person (or those persons).
    1. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:
    • a) It is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form or;

    • b) It is cast by a person chairing the meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

Special Resolution 4 (Item 4) Adoption of new Constitution

That company proposes to adopt a new constitution to bring it into line with the current practice of having a single constitution replacing the older style ‘Memorandum and Articles of Association’. The new constitution has been carefully prepared by the company’s solicitor to ensure it complies with current Corporations Act requirements and ASX listing rules. The new constitution may be viewed, downloaded and printed from the company’s website: www.dulhuntypower.com

Adopting a new constitution may be effected pursuant to the Corporation Act s 136(2) by special resolution at general meeting.
