EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the Notice.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

  1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF THE ISSUE OF SHARES

On 30 April 2010, the Company announced that it had agreed terms with Novus Capital Limited to raise $500,000 for the Company by way of a placement to sophisticated investors of 7,142,858 Shares at 7 cents per Share (the “Placement”). The Company issued an initial tranche of 2,190,000 Shares 6 May 2010 and seeks Shareholder approval to issue the balance of 4,952,858 Shares.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the initial tranche of 2,190,000 Shares under the Placement.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides, subject to certain exceptions, a listed company must not issue equity securities where the number of equity securities proposed to be issued represents more than 15% of the company’s shares then on issue without the approval of shareholders. The Shares issued under the initial tranche of the Placement were issued within the Company’s 15% capacity.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without the approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval if the issue of securities did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 (that is, the issue was within the Company’s 15% capacity) and shareholders subsequently approve it. The Company now seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the Shares issued under the initial tranche of the Placement and refresh the Company’s 15% capacity.

The following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1.

  • (a) The number of securities allotted was 2,190,000 Shares.

  • (b) The Shares were issued at an issue price of 7 cents each.

  • (c) The Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally with the Company’s current issued Shares.

  • (d) The allottees of the Shares are professional or sophisticated investors who were introduced by Novus Capital Limited. None of the allottees are related parties of the Company.

  • (e) A total of $153,300 was raised by the issue of the Shares. The Company intends to use these funds as general working capital.

  • RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to allow the Company to issue the balance of 4,952,858 Shares under the Placement.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides, subject to certain exceptions, a listed company must not issue equity securities where the number of equity securities proposed to be issued represents more than 15% of the company’s shares then on issue without the approval of shareholders.

One circumstance where an issue is not taken into account in the calculation of this 15% threshold is where the issue has the prior approval of Shareholders in a general meeting.

The following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2.

  • (a) The maximum number of securities to be issued by the Company is 4,952,858 Shares.

  • (b) The Shares will be issued and allotted no later than 3 months after the date of this Meeting (or a later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules).

  • (c) The issue price of the Shares is 7 cents each.

  • (d) The Shares will be allotted to professional or sophisticated investors who are exempt from the disclosure requirements under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act and who are introduced by Novus Capital Limited. None of the allottees will be related parties of the Company.

  • (e) The Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally with the Company's current issued Shares.

  • (f) The Company intends to use the funds raised from the issue of the Shares as general working capital.

  • (g) It is intended that the Shares will be allotted on one date.

Instructions for Completing Appointment of Proxy Form

  1. In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, a shareholder of the Company who is entitled to attend and cast two or more votes at a general meeting of shareholders is entitled to appoint two proxies. 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 sections 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with sections 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 sections 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.

  3. In accordance with section 250BA of the Corporations Act the Company specifies the following for the purposes of receipt of proxy appointments:

Registered Office: Level 1, 2 Ross Place, South Melbourne, Victoria, 3205

Fax Number: +61 3 9670 6643
