6. Key Risks
==> picture [117 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
24
LEAVE YOUR WORLD BEHIND
KEY RISKS
Acquisition Specific Risks (risks specific to the transaction that is the purpose for raising capital pursuant to this Entitlement Offer)
| Integration Risk | If the Acquisition completes, the SKB Group will offer new adventure tourism activities including the following: snorkeling, sea kayaking, boat touring, beach exploring, jet boating, white water rafting, canyoning, hot air ballooning, ferrying, cliff jumping, and associated activities. These activities, although forming part of the adventure tourism industry, have not been previously offered by the SKB Group. There is no guarantee that the SKB Group will be able to promptly or effectively integrate these new activities into its current business. There is a risk that the integration of these new adventure tourism activities may be more complex than currently anticipated, involve unexpected challenges or issues, or may prove unsuccessful. If all or any of these things occur, the attention of management is likely to be diverted by an increasing focus on attending to such integration. This may adversely affect the SKB Group's financial and operating performance. |
| Due Diligence Risk |
SKB undertook financial and legal due diligence in respect of the Acquisition and was provided with the opportunity to review information provided on behalf of the vendors and the companies the subject of the Acquisition. Not all relevant information may have been available, and information that was available may not have been provided. In respect of the material provided, SKB cannot verify with certainty the accuracy, reliability or completeness of that information. Further, although the transaction documents in respect of the Acquisition provide some protection for the SKB Group in respect of representations and warranties regarding the due diligence information provided, there is no assurance that the SKB can recover any or all of its losses in the event that those representations or warranties are found to be incorrect. There can also be no certainty that the due diligence conducted was conclusive, and that all material issues and risks in respect of the Acquisition have been identified or properly considered. |
| Completion Risk | There can be no guarantee that the conditions precedent to the completion of the Acquisition will be met or otherwise waived. For instance, in light of the change of control of the companies the subject of the Acquisition, there may be regulatory approvals required for completion of the Acquisition. Such approvals may be withheld. |
==> picture [117 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
25
LEAVE YOUR WORLD BEHIND
KEY RISKS (CONT)
| Underwriting Risk |
The Acquisition is funded by this Entitlement Offer. The Underwriting Agreement in respect of the Entitlement Offer is subject to customary termination events. If the Underwriting Agreement were to be terminated, there is a risk that SKB may not raise sufficient funds from this Entitlement Offer to complete the Acquisition. In that event, the SKB Group would need to consider other funding options or may not be able complete the Acquisition. If such an event occurred and the SKB Group proceeded with capital raising by way of other forms of equity financing to complete the Acquisition, this may be dilutive to Shareholders. Alternatively, if debt financing was pursued, this may result in restrictions being placed on the way the SKB Group can execute its operational and business strategies. |
| Regulatory Risk | The new adventure tourism activities that the SKB Group will offer if the Acquisition completes are subject to extensive and diverse regulations. The relevant regulatory regimes are complex and are subject to change (or change in their interpretation). Such changes may adversely affect the profitability of the SKB Group offering these new adventure tourism activities. |
| Revenue Risk | There can be no guarantee that the SKB Group will be able to achieve the revenue or profits from the businesses the subject of the Acquisition within the currently proposed timelines, or within the proposed budget. |
==> picture [117 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
26
LEAVE YOUR WORLD BEHIND
KEY RISKS (CONT) SKB Specific Risks (risks specific to the SKB Group's business and the industry in which it operates)
| Dilution risk | In the event that a Shareholder does not participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer at all, or to the maximum amount of its Entitlement, it is likely to see its shareholding in SKB diluted. |
| Reputation risk | The success of the SKB Group is dependent on it maintaining a positive reputation. Unforeseen issues or events which place the reputation of the SKB Group at risk may impact on future earnings and its growth prospects. Investors should be aware that the activities undertaken by the SKB Group (including those activities undertaken by the businesses the subject of the Acquisition) are inherently risky and any adverse event may impact the SKB Group's reputation. |
| Development risk |
The prospects of the SKB Group must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in development and expansion of an existing business. There are a number of risks facing the SKB Group in the execution of its business strategy. While the Directors are of the view that there are plans in place to ensure these risks are mitigated, these factors may still adversely impact upon investor returns. |
| Competition and sensitivity |
It is possible that other entities in Australia, New Zealand and around the world may try to compete with the SKB Group. For example, in relation to the businesses the subject of the Acquisition, SKB is aware that there are a number of competitor businesses operating in the market in which those businesses operate. SKB cannot guarantee that a competitor will not reduce the SKB Group's market share or margins through competitive businesses or strategies. SKB's financial performance is sensitive to a number of variables, which may arise (both positive and negative) as a result of competition or otherwise. |
| Funding | The ability of SKB to effectively implement and expand its business plan over time may depend, in part, on its ability to raise additional funds as required. SKB and the Directors give no assurance that any equity or debt funding will be available to SKB, or be available to it on acceptable terms. |

LEAVE YOUR WORLD BEHIND
| KEY RISKS (CONT) Relationship with suppliers and lessors The SKB Group contracts with third parties to provide certain goods and services including hangars, runways and some aircraft, and leases of all of its existing skydiving drop zone sites and some of the proposed locations for the activities conducted by the businesses the subject of the Acquisition. The ongoing relationship management with its suppliers is important to the ongoing success of the SKB Group's business. Failure to maintain such relationships with its suppliers and certifiers in the future may lead to termination of any of the supply contracts or lease agreements and provide opportunities for competitors to gain an advantage, and may have other adverse effects such as lessening the ability of the SKB Group to service its customers which may, in turn, have an adverse effect on the SKB Group's earnings and growth prospects. Government and legal risk Changes in government, fiscal, monetary environmental, taxation, regulatory policies and other laws may also affect the business of the SKB Group. The market in which the SKB Group provides products and services is anticipated to become subject to increasing regulation. Changes to the regulatory framework could impact on the industry generally and have an adverse impact on the financial position, performance, assets and operations of the SKB Group. Permits The SKB Group relies upon permits from a variety of regulators. For example, the SKB Group's skydiving operations rely upon the availability of aircraft it either owns or sources from external suppliers from time to time. Some of SKB's Subsidiaries are appointed the registered operator by CASA for aircraft it owns. The SKB Group endeavors to meet all CASA operational requirements and flight standard approvals. There is no guarantee that each of the aircraft will continue to meet the appropriate CASA flight approvals and standards at all times. CASA may issue changes to the flight approvals and standards from time to time and the resultant changes may require the installation of additional equipment, modifications, additional costs and time to resolve or comply. Flight approval changes may result in particular locations not being able to be operated whilst complying with any regulation change. If any of these circumstances arise, it could impact on the SKB Group's proposed future sales of skydiving and related products and would negatively impact future revenue generation. Further, as the Acquisition will involve the SKB Group offering new adventure tourism activities, there will be additional permits from different regulators that will need to be maintained, and the conditions of such permits complied with. |

KEY RISKS (CONT) The SKB Group's success is dependent upon the successful management and execution of its growth strategy. To manage this growth effectively, SKB will need to maintain efficient control and supervision of its operations and financial systems and continue to expand, train and manage its employees and secure new appropriately skilled employees. Further, the SKB Group will need to keep Growth abreast of new and developing technology. There is a risk that SKB may not be able to execute its growth strategies. Management In particular, SKB's growth strategy depends upon its ability to continue to maintain and grow generic earnings as well as identify and make suitable acquisitions that are revenue and profit accretive. Changes in tax law, or changes in the way taxation laws are interpreted may impact the tax liabilities of the SKB Group or the tax treatment of a Shareholder’s investment. In particular, both the level and basis of taxation may change. In addition, an investment in Taxation the New Shares or Additional New Shares (if applicable) involves tax considerations which may differ for each Shareholder. Each prospective Shareholder is encouraged to seek professional tax advice in connection with any investment in SKB. The SKB Group is subject to a range of regulatory controls imposed by governmental and regulatory authorities in Australia and New Zealand. The relevant regulatory regimes are complex and are subject to change over time depending on changes in the laws and the policies of the governmental and regulatory authorities. SKB is exposed to the risk of changes to the applicable laws and/or the Regulatory risk interpretation of those laws which may have a negative effect on SKB, its investments and/or returns to Shareholders or the risks associated with non-compliance with these laws (including reporting or other legal obligations). Non-compliance may result in financial penalties being levied against the SKB Group. Dividend risk There is no certainty that SKB will continue to pay dividends in the future.

LEAVE YOUR WORLD BEHIND
KEY RISKS (CONT)
The operation of the SKB Group's business involves hazards and risks that could result in the SKB Group incurring losses or liabilities that could arise from its operations. The SKB Group has, and intends to maintain, adequate insurance coverage in respect of these hazards and risks. For example, the SKB Group’s parachuting operations at each of its Australian drop zones are covered by public liability insurance provided to all members of the APF as part of membership fees paid by the SKB Group to the APF. The public liability insurance provided with membership of the APF responds in relation to negligent damage caused to third party person or property whilst participating in parachuting activity under the auspices of APF. Insurance If the SKB Group incurs losses or liabilities which are not covered by the insurance policies provided by the APF in respect of the skydiving offered by the SKB Group, the funds available for working capital and/or revenue growth opportunities may be reduced. SKB has, and intends to maintain, insurance of its assets and operations in accordance with industry practice through its own insurance policies. However, the occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by these insurance policies could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of SKB. Loss of goodwill There is an inherent risk of loss of business goodwill in the event of an accident occurring involving the SKB Group.

| Investment Specific Risks (general risks associated with an investment in SKB) | |
| Income and capital risk |
An investment in SKB is speculative in nature and the capital contributed, and the returns projected, are not guaranteed by SKB, its Directors, officers or any other person. The speculative nature of the investment poses a risk and the capital may not be returned. |
| Proportionate Share Liability |
Given the likelihood of a Shortfall arising in relation to the Retail Entitlement Offer, with such Shortfall being placed as referred to in this Retail Offer Booklet, SKB cannot determine the impact on existing proportionate shareholding until this Entitlement Offer is complete. |
| Liquidity Risk | There is no guarantee that Shares will trade at a particular price or a particular volume. 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 SKB. |
| Dilution | SKB may need to raise additional funds, through a further capital raising or debt facility, at some time in the future after the conclusion of this Entitlement Offer. Any such further capital raising is likely to have the effect of diluting the interests of Shareholders. |
| Litigation | In the ordinary course of its business, the SKB Group may be subject to the risk of litigation and other disputes with its employees, consultants, lessors, regulators and other third parties. Proceedings may result in high legal costs, adverse monetary judgments and/ or damage to the SKB Group's reputation, which ultimately is likely to have an adverse effect on the financial performance of the SKB Group. |
