1.3 Key risks
The business, assets and operations of the Company will be subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to influence the operating and financial performance of the Company in the future. These risks can impact on the value of an investment in the Securities of the Company.
The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures. Some of the risks are, however, highly unpredictable and the extent to which they can effectively be managed or mitigated may be limited.
Set out below are specific risks that the Company is and will be exposed to. Further risks associated with an investment in the Company are outlined in Section 4.
Specific Risks
(a) Start-up Risks
Fatfish Medialab, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fatfish Capital, invests in early-stage startup businesses in the internet and IT sectors. These startup businesses often possess nothing more than a conceptual business plan and early prototypes of their products. These startup businesses need to overcome significant business challenges to further develop their products and business plans so that they can reach a stage where their business operations are self-sustaining and profitable.
(b) Short and Long Term Funding Risks
The Group principally generates income via exits from its investments. Exits from investments could take typically 2 to 4 years from initial investments. During this gestation period, the Group needs to rely on its own funding to continuously make further investments into new businesses it identifies to maintain a pipeline of investments that it can continue to work on. The Group will also be dependent on its own funding to maintain its own business operations. There is a possibility that the Group will need to look for further funding in the short term to finance its business plan if it has not achieved exits from its investments in the near future.
Fatfish Medialab is an official incubator appointed by the Media Development Authority ( MDA ) of Singapore to run the i.jam Reload co-investment programme, of which Fatfish
P a g e | 10
Medialab is dependent on the grant it receives continuously from MDA to make investments into start-up businesses in the Internet and IT sectors.
For some of the businesses it invests in, the Group will rely on its ability to enhance the value of the businesses together with the management of these companies so that they can reach a more mature stage where the businesses can attract significant investments from third-party investors introduced by the Group. The growth of some of these businesses will be dependent on the success of raising further capital from these thirdparty investors.
(c) Varying influence in its investments
The varying influence that the Group has in each entity in which it currently has an investment. Some of the key investee companies of the Group and influence of the Group on them is as follows:
-
(i) iFashion : the Group plays a semi-active role to assist iFashion to expand into new markets of Indonesia and Malaysia. The Group also advises iFashion in its funding needs and strategy. Mr Kin Wai Lau is a non-executive director of iFashion.
-
(ii) iCandy, VDancer and FAG : the Group plays an active role in advising management on its operations and product development plan.

2.6 Application is binding
Receipt of Application Payment by Bpay, or of Application Payment by cheque / electronic funds transfer and a completed and lodged Application Form, constitutes a binding acceptance of the Company's Offer of New Securities on the Terms of the Offer and an acknowledgement by the Applicant that it has received and read this Prospectus, it has acted in accordance with the Terms of the Offer, and that it agrees to all of the Terms of the Offer.

2.9 Brokerage, commission and stamp duty
No brokerage, commission or stamp duty is payable by Applicants under the Offer.
2.10 Allocation
The following allocation policy will apply for any Application in excess of an Eligible Shareholder’s Entitlement:
-
(a) all Eligible Shareholders will receive their Entitlement, to the extent applied for; and
-
(b) any amount by which Applications from Eligible Shareholders exceed their Entitlements may be scaled back, at the absolute discretion of the Directors.
Any Shortfall Securities will be allocated at the Directors' discretion. The Company does not guarantee that Eligible Shareholders will receive any New Securities applied for in excess of their Entitlement.
2.11 No underwriting
The Rights Issue is not underwritten.
2.12 Shortfall Securities
Entitlements not taken up will become available as Shortfall Securities. If there are any Shortfall Securities, the Directors reserve the right to issue at their discretion any such Shortfall Securities within 3 months of the Closing Date at an issue price not less than the Offer Price ( Shortfall Offer ).
The Shortfall Offer is, to the extent it is made in Australia, made under this Prospectus. To the extent the Shortfall Offer is made outside Australia, the Shortfall Offer is made without disclosure, a prospectus, lodgement, filing or registration or other requirements of any applicable securities law, and only in circumstances where it is lawful to do so (such as to institutional or sophisticated investors).
Eligible Shareholders may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for Shortfall Securities by completing the Application Form in accordance with the instructions set out in that form.
Other investors who are not Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shortfall Securities by requesting an Application Form from the Share Registry. If such investors are located outside Australia, then in making an Application, such investors represent to the Company that they are applying for Shortfall Securities in circumstances which do not require the Shortfall Offer or this Prospectus to be registered in any jurisdiction other than Australia.
It is possible that there may be few or no Shortfall Securities available for issue, depending on the level of take up of Entitlements by Eligible Shareholders. The Company will allocate Shortfall Securities at the Directors' absolute discretion.
The Directors reserve the right at their absolute discretion to reject any Applications for Shortfall Securities and it is an express term of the Shortfall Offer that Applicants for Shortfall Securities will be bound to accept a lesser number of Shortfall Securities allocated to them than they applied for. If a lesser number is allocated, any excess Application Payment will be refunded without interest as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.
P a g e | 16
2.13 Allotment of New Securities
Allotment and issue of New Securities will only be made once the Application Payments have been received and the ASX has granted permission for quotation of the New Shares.
If such permission is granted, it is expected the New Securities will be allotted pursuant to the Rights Issue on Friday 9 June 2017 and holding statements for such New Securities will be despatched on Thursday 15 June 2017. Shortfall Securities (if any) will be allotted by Friday 2 September 2017.
It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation of New Securities prior to trading in the New Securities. Applicants who sell New Securities before they receive their holding statement do so at their own risk.
2.14 CHESS
Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of New Securities. If an Applicant is broker sponsored, a CHESS statement will be issued to that Applicant which sets out the number of New Securities issued under this Prospectus, provides details of the Applicant's holder identification number and the participant identification number of the sponsor. If an Applicant is registered in the Company's issuer sponsored sub register, its statement will be despatched by the Share Registry and will contain the number of New Securities issued to it under this Prospectus and its security holder reference number.
2.15 Foreign selling restrictions
(a) General
The Offer is being made in the Eligible Jurisdictions only. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer in any place which, or to any person whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.
The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside the Eligible Jurisdictions may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus in such jurisdictions should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.
No action has been taken to register or qualify the New Securities or the Offer, or otherwise to permit a public offering of the New Securities, in any jurisdiction outside the Eligible Jurisdictions.
(b) Beneficial holders
The foreign selling restrictions under the Offer apply to the underlying beneficial holder. Nominees, trustees and custodians must not apply on behalf of any beneficial holder that would not itself be an Eligible Shareholder. Applicants who are nominees, trustees or custodians are advised to seek independent advice as to how they should proceed. Applicants applying on behalf of persons whose registered address is not in the Eligible Jurisdictions are responsible for ensuring that applying for New Securities does not breach securities laws in the relevant overseas jurisdictions.
Nominees and custodians that hold Shares should note that the Rights Issue is available only to Eligible Shareholders. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any Registered Shareholder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Securities. If any nominee or custodian is acting on behalf of a foreign person, that Shareholder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.
(c) New Zealand securities law requirements
This Offer to New Zealand investors is a regulated offer made under Australian and New Zealand law. In Australia, this is Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act and regulations made
P a g e | 17
under the Corporations Act. In New Zealand, this is subpart 6 of Part 9 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and Part 9 of the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014.
This offer and the content of the offer document are principally governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. In the main, the Corporations Act and the regulations made under the Corporations Act set out how the offer must be made.
There are differences in how financial products are regulated under Australian law. For example, the disclosure of fees for managed investment schemes is different under the Australian regime.
The rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements available to New Zealand investors in Australian financial products may differ from the rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements for New Zealand financial products.
Both the Australian and New Zealand financial markets regulators have enforcement responsibilities in relation to this offer. If you need to make a complaint about this Offer, please contact the Financial Markets Authority, New Zealand (http://www.fma.govt.nz). The Australian and New Zealand regulators will work together to settle your complaint.
The taxation treatment of Australian financial products is not the same as for New Zealand financial products.
If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.
The Offer may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the financial products is not New Zealand dollars. The value of the financial products will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between that currency and New Zealand dollars. These changes may be significant.
If you expect the financial products to pay any amounts in a currency that is not New Zealand dollars, you may incur significant fees in having the funds credited to a bank account in New Zealand in New Zealand dollars.
If the financial products are able to be traded on a financial product market and you wish to trade the financial products through that market, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the financial products on your behalf. If the financial product market does not operate in New Zealand, the way in which the market operates, the regulation of participants in that market, and the information available to you about the financial products and trading may differ from financial product markets that operate in New Zealand.

3 Purpose and effect of the Offer on the Company
3.1 Purpose of the Offer
The purpose of the Offer is to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet, to make new investments into Internet businesses in the Australasia region and to fund general working capital.
3.2 Use of funds
If the Offer is fully subscribed, the Company's present intention is to use the funds raised under the Offer (from payment of the Offer Price) as follows:
| New investments into Internet businesses in the Australasia region | $1,263,000.00 |
|---|---|
| Expenses of the Offer | $137,000.00 |
| Working capital | $292,994.46 |
| Total | $1,692,994.46 |
At this stage, the Company intends to apply funds raised from payment of the Exercise Price for working capital purposes.
This is a statement of present intention only. The Company and the Directors reserve the right to change the way and the proportion in which funds are applied, particularly if the Offer is not fully subscribed or if not all of the New Options are exercised.
There is no minimum subscription under the Offer and no guarantee that the Offer will raise an adequate or sufficient level of funds to enable the Company to achieve its stated objectives.
3.3 Effect on capital structure of the Company
The following table sets out the Company’s current capital structure and its fully diluted capital structure immediately following the successful completion of the Offer, assuming that:
-
(a) the Offer is fully subscribed; and
-
(b) no other Shares or options to subscribe for Shares are issued between the date of this Prospectus and completion of the Offer.
==> picture [447 x 111] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Existing Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus 169,299,446
Existing options on issue as at the date of this Prospectus Nil
PLUS: New Shares 169,299,446
PLUS: New Options 169,299,446
Fully diluted Share capital assuming all New Options are exercised 507,898,338
----- End of picture text -----
The Company's actual position on completion of the Offer may differ from the position illustrated in the pro-forma capital structure table above if the Offer is not fully subscribed.
If the Offer is not fully subscribed, fewer New Securities will be issued (and, consequently, fewer Shares which could be issued on exercise of those New Options) than shown in the table above. After the Closing Date, the Company will announce to the ASX the actual number of New Securities to be issued under the Offer.
P a g e | 21
3.4 Effect on Shareholdings
(a) General
If an Eligible Shareholder takes up its full Entitlement, then it will not be diluted. If an Eligible Shareholder does not take up its full Entitlement, then it will be diluted. Shareholders who are not Eligible Shareholders will have their Shareholdings diluted by the Offer.
The effect of the Offer on the control of the Company will depend upon a number of factors, including:
-
(i) the level of Shareholder participation in the Offer;
-
(ii) which Shareholders participate;
-
(iii) the extent to which rights are traded; and
-
(iv) the extent to which New Options are transferred, exercised and who may decide to exercise them.
As the New Options do no confer any voting rights on their holders, the issue of the New Options under the Offer will, of itself, have no effect on the control of the Company. However, the issue of Shares on the exercise of New Options could have an effect on the control of the Company.
If every Eligible Shareholder was to take up its full Entitlement and exercised its New Options at the same time, there would be a minimal effect on the control of the Company, as the Rights Issue is made pro-rata.
The potential effect of the Offer on the Shareholdings in the Company assuming the Offer is fully subscribed and no further Securities are issued can be summarised as follows:
| Shares (fully diluted) | Number | % Share capital |
|---|---|---|
| Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus | 169,299,446 | 33.33% |
| Existing options on issue as at the date of this Prospectus |
Nil | 0% |
| New Shares | 169,299,446 | 33.33% |
| New Options | 169,299,446 | 33.33% |
| Total Shares as at completion of the Offer assuming all New Options are exercised |
507,898,338 | 100.00% |
(b) Major Shareholder
HSBC Custody Nominees Australia Limited currently has a relevant interest in 40,150,452 Shares, or 23.72% in the Company. In the event that HSBC Custody Nominees Australia Limited is the only Applicant, then following the Offer, HSBC Custody Nominees Australia Limited will increase its voting power in the Company to approximately 38.34% under the Offer or Shortfall Offer.
As the Offer is renounceable and to comply with ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1 and section 611 item 10 of the Corporations Act, the Company has made the Offer available to Shareholders who were recorded on the Register at the Record Date.
(c) Illustration of dilutionary effect
Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer will have their Shareholding diluted.
The table below illustrates the dilutionary effect assuming that:
P a g e | 22
-
(i) each example Shareholder does not take up its Entitlement;
-
(ii) each example Shareholder's Entitlement is subscribed for under the Shortfall Offer;
-
(iii) the Offer is fully subscribed;
-
(iv) no New Options are exercised; and
-
(v) no Shares or options to subscribe for Shares are issued other than pursuant to the Offer.

----- End of picture text -----
3.5 Prohibition on exceeding 20% voting power threshold
New Option holders must have regard to and comply with the takeovers prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act (that is, the 20% voting power threshold) ( section 606 ), when exercising New Options granted under this Prospectus.
The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility for ensuring that New Option holders do not breach section 606 as a result of the exercise of the New Options.
If New Option holders may be at risk of breaching section 606 as a result of the exercise of New Options, the choices available to them include:
-
(a) selling their New Options off market;
-
(b) selling some or all of their Shares prior to exercising any New Options held by them; or
-
(c) relying on another exemption from the takeovers prohibition in section 611 of the Corporations Act (such as the 3% creep exemption in item 9 of that section).
If a New Option holder may be at risk of exceeding the 20% voting power threshold in section 606 or increasing their voting power from a position above 20% as a result of the acquisition of Shares following exercise of New Options, New Option holders should seek professional advice before exercising New Options.
3.6 Effect on financial position of the Company
- (a) General
If the Offer is successfully completed and all Eligible Shareholders take up their full Entitlements, the broad effect on the Company’s financial position will be to increase Shareholders’ funds and net assets by approximately $1.69 million before payment of the expenses of the Offer.
(b) Proforma balance sheet
To illustrate the effect of the Offer on the Company, the following pro-forma consolidated balance sheet of the Company has been prepared based on the accounts of the Company as at 31 December 2016 as set out in the Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended on that date and adjusted to reflect the following pro-forma transactions:
- (i) The position as if the Offer was fully taken up and no Shares were issued on or before the Record Date.
P a g e | 23
-
(ii) Receipt of approximately $1.69 million under the Offer from the issue of 169,299,446 New Shares, with none of the New Options having been exercised.
-
(iii) Payment of approximately $137,000, representing the expenses of the Offer.
If the Offer is not fully subscribed, the amount of all of the impacted items shown in the unaudited proforma balance sheet will be reduced, however, no other items in the Company’s balance sheet will be affected.
The actual financial position on completion of the Offer may also differ from the position illustrated in the pro-forma capital structure and pro-forma balance sheet due to movements in profit / (loss) and in the asset and liability levels during the period between 31 December 2016 and the date when the Offer is completed.

Refer to Section 1.3(c) for further details.
4.3 Additional risks specific to the Group
(a) Ability to Promote the Group’s “Fatfish Brand”
Brand image is a key factor in promoting and marketing technology companies. The Group is committed to building its brand by creating value in technology companies from start-up phase to more developed companies and therefore being presented with more opportunities in Asia and, if relevant, Australia. The Company believes that the Group has been successful in establishing its brand and attracting investee projects in Asia and that the Company's status as an ASX-listed company will continue to enhance the Group’s profile and brand in the Australasia region.
(b) Third Party Control Risk
A large part of the Group’s business involves firstly, continuing the success of the current business operations in IFashion and RajaPremi.com, and secondly, identifying, acquiring, managing and investing in technology companies from those in the start-up phase (including Novatap, Peeplepass, VDancer and Kensington), to those that are more developed. The Group’s strategy is to invest through funding and assistance with management and operation mentoring, with the ultimate intention of controlling the business activities of those companies. While the Group gains more comprehensive experience and industry knowledge with such business ventures, the successful operation of those companies will, for at least the initial period, rely on the maintenance of successful management by the initial founders and the expertise, knowledge, and personnel of the Group to grow and penetrate the relevant markets those companies.
The Group may mitigate risks involved in third party management of the companies in which it invests by being able to exercise control through its shareholding, through maintaining good relations with management of those companies or through providing management and expertise for growth of the respective companies.
(c) Commercialisation and Demand Risk
There is a risk that the companies in which the Group will acquire an interest may fail to develop products that meet specific customer requirements.
While the Company will endeavour to ensure that all effort will be given in relation to research and development of the various products developed by the companies in which the Group has an interest to ensure that they have a viable customer base for their current and proposed products, there can be no guarantee that those parties will continue to have
P a g e | 26
a demand for the technology offered. Any decrease in the demand will have a negative effect on the prospects of the Group.
The Group has, at least in part, mitigated the commercialisation risks by investing in multiple product pathways, with multiple technology development partners.
(d) Technology and Intellectual Property
The Group’s success will depend, in part, on the ability of the companies in which it invests to maintain trade secret protection and other protection over their intellectual property and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties or having third parties circumvent those companies’ rights. No guarantee can be given that such protection will be successfully and validly maintained.
The commercial value of the intellectual property assets is dependent on legal protections provided by a combination of copyright, patent, confidentiality, trade mark, trade secrecy laws and other intellectual property rights. These legal mechanisms, however, do not guarantee that the intellectual property will be protected or that its commercial value will be maintained.
The Group intends to continually evaluate the intellectual property in which it will acquire an interest and ensure that steps are undertaken to continually protect its proprietary intellectual property rights and the formal registration of its proprietary intellectual property rights is undertaken as and when appropriate. However, there can be no assurance at any time that:
-
(i) any such rights can be formally established;
-
(ii) the measures taken will be adequate to protect the proprietary technology;
-
(iii) any intellectual property rights will provide it with any competitive advantages and will not be challenged by third parties; and
-
(iv) the rights of others will not materially adversely affect the Group’s ability to do business, its financial condition and the results of its operations (and therefore impact on the future viability and profitability of the Group).
While the Company believes that the Group and the companies in which it has an interest have taken appropriate steps to protect their proprietary rights to date, the law may not adequately protect these rights in all places where the Group does business, or enable the same rights to be defended sufficiently to avoid adverse material impact on operations.
(e) Competition risk
The industry in which the Company, through the Group, is involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Group will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Group will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Group’s projects and business.
The Group intends to continue to operate in an industry that relies on accurate and innovative products. Technology changes occur rapidly, and there is a risk that the services provided and products to be produced by the Group may become technically inferior to other services and products available in the market.
Additionally, internet businesses have low barriers to entry. Current or new competitors may adopt certain aspects of the Group’s business model without great financial expense, thereby reducing the Group’s ability to differentiate its services. Competition may arise from a number of sources. It may include companies from the traditional retail industry that may have greater capital resources and closer supplier relationships than the Group. Competition may also arise from global e-Commerce companies with developed processes, systems, and technology. Suppliers may also choose to establish their own online sales sites rather than utilising the Group to sell their products and services online.
P a g e | 27
Any significant competition may adversely affect the Group’s ability to meet its business objectives.
Additionally, the development and commercialisation of new technologies that are more cost efficient than the technology in which the Group has an interest or offer greater variety in services and products than those of the Group, could place the Group at a competitive disadvantage.
(f) Sovereign Risk
The Group’s operations will continue to include a focus on markets in South East Asia, including but not limited to Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia. The economic growth in those and other South East Asian nations is expected to continue its upward trend in a stable manner. These economies are driven by strong domestic consumption, stable government regime and long track-records of exports.
Possible sovereign risks associated with operating in South East Asian nations include, without limitation, changes in the terms of legislation, changes to taxation rates and concessions and changes in the ability to enforce legal rights. Any of these factors may, in the future, adversely affect the financial performance of the Group and the market price of the Company's Shares and New Options.
No assurance can be given regarding future stability in South East Asia or any other nation in which the Group may, in the future, have an interest.
(g) System and Content Integrity
The performance of the current business operations in IFashion and RajaPremi.com will be vitally important to the reputation of the Group’s businesses, its ability to attract customers and its ability to makes sales of products and services. The Group will be dependent on the ability of the products from these companies and other companies in which it has an interest to be sold and operate on technology platforms, devices and operating systems run by telecommunications operators, data centres and other third parties, however influence over these third parties will be limited. The Group will not be in control of the maintenance, upkeep and continued supply of effective service from external suppliers in these areas. Any system failure that causes an interruption to the websites could materially affect its business and financial performance. System failures, if prolonged, could reduce the attractiveness of the websites to visitors and hinder the Group’s ability to make sales to buyers, and would damage its business reputation and brand name in the market place which can be compounded by social media.
Although the Group’s systems have been designed around industry standard architectures, they remain vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures, terrorist attacks, computer viruses or similar events. The Group’s disaster recovery planning cannot account for all eventualities.
(h) Decline on the Growth of Internet Use
Internet use in the current markets of Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia in particular, has been growing. However, there can be no guarantee that this growth will continue in the future. In addition, growth in e-Commerce is underpinned by a range of factors including migration from more traditional forms of retail sales. While increased internet use and a migration of retail sales to digital platforms has occurred over recent years, there can be no guarantee that the rate of growth in internet use and rate of migration will continue in the future, which may have an adverse effect on the expected growth of the Group.
(i) Brand Management and Maintenance
The Company believes that establishing and maintaining its brands in the e-Commerce industry is critical to growing its proposed user base and product acceptance. This will depend largely on the Group’s ability to provide useful and innovative products. The actions of external industry participants and social media may affect the Group’s brands if users do not have a positive experience using the websites and its platforms, devices or operating systems that provide access to the Group’s products and services respectively.
P a g e | 28
If the Group fails to successfully establish and maintain its brands its businesses and operating results could be adversely affected.
(j) Display of Inappropriate Content
The Group will have processes that allow it to monitor and remove inappropriate content placed on the websites, whether deliberately or inadvertently. However, the Group will not have the ability to guarantee that all content displayed on the websites is appropriate at all times. This includes but is not limited to the presentation of photographs accepted by the Group in good faith and under the terms of its supplier contracts. The Group cannot guarantee that such material is not obscene, offensive or otherwise damaging to its business reputation and brand name, or the reputation of any third party.
(k) Reliance on Third Party Payment and Logistics Providers
To complete sales on the Group’s websites, the Group will rely on third party banking, payment and logistic providers. The Group’s influence over these third parties will be limited. Any system or service failure that causes an interruption to the Group’s ability to receive payments or deliver purchased goods to its buyers and effect payment transactions could materially affect its business and financial performance. System or service failures, if prolonged, could reduce the attractiveness of the Group’s services to visitors to the websites and hinder the ability to make sales to buyers, and would damage its business reputation and brand name.
(l) Contractual Risk
In order for the Group to be able to achieve its objectives, the Group will be reliant on third parties with which it will become involved to comply with their contractual obligations.
Where those third parties fail to comply with the terms and conditions of their agreements with the Group, the Group could lose the rights acquired under the relevant agreement(s). It may then be necessary for the Group to approach a court to seek a legal remedy. Legal action can be costly and there can be no guarantee that a legal remedy will be ultimately granted on the appropriate terms. The Group has no current reason to believe that any third party that the Group has contracted with will not meet and satisfy their obligations under any agreement.
4.4 Industry specific risks
(a) Rapidly updating industry
Online industries, including online merchandising and entertainment, can tend to experience rapid evolution from time to time. If the entities in which the Group has interests are not capable of staying current with industry trends, there is a risk that the technology in which the Group will acquire an interest will become outdated and not be capable of being sold or licensed. Although, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, its subsidiaries (wholly owned or otherwise) endeavour to keep pace with the evolution of their industries, there can be no assurance that any significant changes that may occur in online industries, will not have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Group.
In addition, significant outlays may be required where technology is updated that the Group must make use of.
(b) Corruption of Databases
The databases used by entities in which the Group has interests are a valuable asset. They are subject to risks associated with computer viruses, physical or electronic breakins, loss of data from physical damage or from failures in third party service providers or operating systems and similar disruptions, as well as to damage from the inadvertent introduction onto its systems of incorrect programming language by its employees. An irrecoverable loss of any of the databases would be expensive to remedy, would have a material adverse effect on an entity’s operations and financial position, and would damage its business reputation and brands.
P a g e | 29
(c) New Technology
If the entities in which the Group has interests are significantly slower than their competitors to adapt technological change, it would lead to a reduction in visits to the relevant websites. This could have an adverse effect on the entity’s ability to attract new buyers and retain its existing customer base.
(d) Hacking and Vandalism
The business entities in which the Group will acquire an interest may be adversely affected by malicious third party applications that interfere with, or exploit, security flaws in the websites. Viruses, worms and other malicious software programs could, among other things, jeopardise the security information stored in a user’s computer or in the entity’s computer systems or attempt to change the internet experience of users by interfering with the entity’s ability to connect with its users. If the entity’s efforts to combat these malicious applications are unsuccessful, or if the websites have actual or perceived vulnerabilities, the entity’s business reputation and brand name may be harmed and user traffic could decline, which may result in a material adverse effect on the entity’s operations.
(e) Unauthorised use of intellectual property or independent development of technology
The Group regards substantial elements of the websites, software, tools, applications, buyer databases and underlying technology as proprietary. Despite precautionary measures, third parties may copy or otherwise obtain and use the Group’s proprietary information without authorisation or may develop similar technology independently. In addition, competitors may be able to design around the Group’s technology or develop competing technologies substantially similar to those of the Group without any infringement of the Group’s proprietary rights. Any legal action that the Group may bring to protect its proprietary information could be unsuccessful and expensive and would divert management’s attention from its business operations.
(f) Product Returns
While the Group will generally be under no obligation to acquire products from suppliers, in the event that the product is not sold, the Group will generally be responsible for the cost and liability of any product returns.
(g) Insurance
The Group will maintain insurance where it is considered appropriate for its needs however it will not be insured against all risks either because appropriate cover is not available or because the Directors consider the required premiums to be excessive having regard to the benefits that would accrue.
Accordingly, the Group may not be fully insured against all losses and liabilities that could unintentionally arise from its operations. If the Group incurs uninsured losses or liabilities, the value of the Group’s assets may be at risk.
4.5 Risks associated with the Offer
(a) Value of New Options
The New Options that are issued as part of the Offer are issued for $nil issue price and require the Exercise Price of $0.011 per New Option to be paid at the time of exercise. If the prevailing trading price of Shares is lower than the Exercise Price, then it is likely that the New Options will not be exercised. In this case, for investors, the unexercised New Options will not have value and will lapse on the expiry date of the New Options.
If the New Options are not exercised, or only some of the New Options are exercised, then the Company may not receive the proceeds that would otherwise be generated if New Option holders pay the Exercise Price. This possibility may reduce the amount of capital that the Company would receive if all of the New Options are exercised on or before the expiry date of the New Options.
P a g e | 30
(b) Liquidity
The market for Shares may be illiquid.
The New Options will not be listed on ASX, and therefore will not be trading on a liquid market.
4.6 General risk factors
The future operations of the Group may be affected by a range of factors, including the below general risk factors.
(a) Foreign exchange risk
The Group will continue to be exposed to the volatility and fluctuations of the exchange rate between currencies throughout South-East Asia and the Australian dollar.
Global currencies are affected by a number of factors that are beyond the control of the Group. These factors include economic conditions in the relevant country and elsewhere and the outlook for interest rates, inflation and other economic factors. These factors may have a positive or negative effect on the Group's investee companies and their plans and activities together with the ability to fund those plans and activities.
The Group will have costs, expenses and investments denominated in multiple currencies. The Company’s Share price is (and the trading price of its New Options will be) denominated in Australian dollars. The Company will also report its financial results in Australian dollars. Accordingly, the Company’s reported financial performance will be influenced by fluctuations in exchange rates between the Australian dollar and other currencies in which it may earn income or accrue expenses, which in the first instance will include the Singapore dollar, the Indonesian Rupiah, the Vietnamese Dong, the Thai Baht, the United States Dollars and the Malaysian Ringgit.
(b) Market risk
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted Securities regardless of the Group’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(iii) currency fluctuations;
-
(iv) commodity price fluctuations;
-
(v) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(vi) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(vii) terrorism and other hostilities.
(c) Potential Acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Group intends to make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, complementary companies or projects. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making such acquisitions.
(d) Reliance on Key Personnel
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Group depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Group if one or more of these employees cease their employment. The Group shall continue to seek to secure as many of the key personnel as possible in the current market conditions.
P a g e | 31
(e) Government Regulations
The Group will be subject to local laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates (including taxation legislation). Future laws or regulations may be introduced concerning various aspects of the internet, including online content, e-Commerce, foreign ownership of interest and media or retail companies, liability for third party activities and user privacy, all of which may impact the Group’s operations.
Changes in or extensions of laws and regulations affecting either the retail industry or internet business operations in the countries in which the Group operates and the rules of industry organisations could restrict or complicate the Group’s activities and significantly increase its compliance costs.
(f) New Acquisitions
The Group may make acquisitions in circumstances where the Directors believe that those acquisitions support the Group’s growth strategy. However, there can be no assurances that the Group will be able to identify, complete and integrate suitable acquisitions successfully. Acquiring new businesses can place significant strain on management, employees, systems and resources. Acquired businesses may not perform in line with expectations and it may not prove possible to achieve the desired synergies on the integration of news businesses.
(g) Additional Requirements for capital
The Group’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Group’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Group may require further financing in the future. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Group is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back marketing and technological development.
4.7 Investment speculative
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Group 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 Group 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.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

5.4 Rights attaching to Shares (including Shares issued on exercise of the New Options)
The following is a summary of the more significant rights attaching to Shares. 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 attaching to Shares are set out in the Company's constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
(a) General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy or attorney to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act.
(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 or attorney;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a representative of a Shareholder has one vote in respect of each Share carrying the right to 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
The Directors alone may declare a dividend to be paid to Shareholders. The dividend is payable at a time determined in the directors’ discretion. No dividend may be declared or paid except as allowed by the Corporations Act. No interest is payable in respect of unpaid dividends. The Directors may set aside of the Company’s profit any amount that they consider appropriate. This amount may be used in any way that profits can be used, and can be invested or used in the Company’s business in the interim.
(d) Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, 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 of the Company, 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 New Shares and all Shares issued on exercise of the New Options issued pursuant to the Prospectus will be fully paid Shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
P a g e | 34
(f) Transfer of Shares
Generally, Shares 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 ASX Listing Rules.
(g) 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.
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.
(h) Alteration of constitution The Company's 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.

The Company pays a premium to insure Directors and certain officers of the Company and controlled entities. The officers of the Company covered by the insurance policy include the current Directors and secretary of the Company and its subsidiaries, senior management of the Company and senior management of divisions and controlled entities of the Company.

The liabilities insured include costs and expenses that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Company or controlled entities. The insurance policy outlined above does not contain details of premiums paid in respect of individual Directors and officers of the Company.

The Company has not otherwise indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer of the Company or of any related body corporate against a liability incurred by such officer.
