EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at Barringtons House, Level 1, 283 Rokeby Road, Subiaco WA 6008 at 2:00pm (WST) on 25 November 2009.

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

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND DIRECTORS’ REPORTS

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, the business of the meeting will include receipt and consideration of the Company’s Financial Report and reports of directors and auditors for the year ended 30 June 2009.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders.

However, Shareholders should note that the vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

3. RESOLUTION 2 & 3 – RE-ELECTION OF MR ROBERT MCNEIL & MR WARREN STAUDE

Clause 16.1 of the Constitution requires that one-third of all Directors (other than the Managing Director) must retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Mr Robert McNeil and Mr Warren Staude retire in accordance with clause 16.1 of the Constitution and, being eligible, seek re-election.

4. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 8 – GRANT OF OPTIONS TO MESSRS ROBERT MCNEIL, PETER MCNEIL, WARREN STAUDE, GRAHAM FISH AND DAVID SWAIN

The Company seeks approval for the grant of options Messrs Robert McNeil, Peter McNeil, Warren Staude, Graham Fish and Hugh David Swain on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement ( Director Options ).

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

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

6

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

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

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

The issue of the Director Options to the Related Parties requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and as Directors, each of Messrs McNeil, McNeil, Fish, Staude, and Swain are related parties of the Company.

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

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

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

  • iii. 1,000,000 Director Options to Mr Graham Fish

  • iv. 1,000,000 Director Options to Mr Warren Staude; and

  • v. 1,000,000 Director Options to Mr David Swain.

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

  • d) the Director Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised. Any funds raised on the exercise of the Director Options will be used for working capital purposes;

  • e) the terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Annexure A;

  • f) a valuation of the Director Options, and the pricing methodology used for that valuation, is set out in Annexure B.

  • g) the existing relevant interests of each of the Related Parties in securities of the Company are set out below;

This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 188,034,250 to 194,534,250 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted as follows:

The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the share price is trading on ASX below the exercise price of the Director Options.

5. RESOLUTIONS 9 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO MR ROBERT MCNEIL

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

  1. A member entitled to attend and vote at a Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

  2. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.

  3. Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  4. 2 directors of the company;

  5. a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  6. for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

  1. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  2. Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.
