2. CAPITAL STRUCTURE

Under the Company’s Asset Purchase Agreement with the vendor of the Planet W business, Planet W Pty Ltd, there is an ‘earn out’ payable by the Company in the amount of $121,000 that has yet to be paid by the Company; Planet W Pty Ltd has agreed to accept shares at the same issue price of the Rights Issue in settlement of this liability, subject to certain conditions including the payment of interest at 12% per annum for 18 months in shares also. The issue of these shares will be subject to shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Indicatively the Company’s capital structure following completion of the share consolidation, assuming full conversion of the Loans and the issue of shares to Planet W in full settlement of deferred consideration owing to it, would be as follows:

Shares on Issue Options on Issue Gross CapitalRaised
Existing Securities 4,959,473,336 130,000,0001 -
Consolidation (1 for 50) 99,189,467 2,600,000 -
Conversion of ConvertibleLoans (post consol.) 20,000,000 15,000,000 $300,000
Planet W deferredacquisition consideration 9,518,667 - -
Total on issue 128,708,134 17,600,000 $300,000

1 Exercisable at 0.2 cents with 80 million options expiring in April 2015 and the balance expiring in December 2015. On consolidation the exercise price of these options will be 10 cents.

3. RIGHTS ISSUE

The capital structure above does not take into account the renounceable Rights Issue that is planned to raise up to a further $1.5 million in early 2012.

The Company has now commenced its preparations for a Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum which will give further detailed information on the Recapitalisation and will be mailed out to shareholders in early January 2012.

The Company also confirms that it has determined not to proceed with the opportunity to invest in the start-up international recruitment business, Manco Pty Ltd, through the proposed joint venture with HCMI (S) Pte Ltd which was announced to the market on 2 November 2011.

The Board has determined that it is of the highest priority that the focus of management is on the Company’s core businesses, and on successfully completing the proposed recapitalisation, in order to ensure a stable platform is established for the Company. In May 2012, and once the proposed recapitalisation has been successfully completed, the Board intends to undertake a strategic review of the business to evaluate strategies to maximise shareholder value. The Board will advise shareholders if there are any material developments arising from the strategic review.
