CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Shareholder
Rights Issue Offer
On behalf of the directors of AdEffective, I am pleased to present you with an opportunity to participate in a renounceable pro-rata rights issue to raise approximately $1.49 million, before costs and expenses (" Rights Issue ").
The Rights Issue offers Shareholders the right to take up one New Share for every Share held as at 7.00pm AEDT on Tuesday, 13 March 2012 at an issue price of 1.5 cents per New Share (" Entitlement "). If you accept your Entitlement, either fully or in part, you will also receive one free Attaching Option for every one New Share subscribed for under the Rights Issue. Attaching Options are exercisable at 1.5 cents each and will expire on 30 June 2014. You may also apply to take up any Shortfall Securities in excess of your full Entitlement.
The Rights Issue Offer is fully underwritten by Patersons Securities Limited (“ Underwriter ”). In addition to taking up any Shortfall pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter (or its nominees) will also be entitled to receive a total of 33,063,174 Options (“ Underwriter Options ”) on the same terms and conditions as the Attaching Options as part consideration for underwriting the Rights Issue. The 33,063,174 Underwriter Options are to be issued on the basis of one Underwriter Option for every 3 New Shares underwritten.
After payment of the costs and expenses of the Offers, the proceeds from the Rights Issue Offer will be applied towards the Company’s current commitments, its working capital requirements and to enable the Company to diversify current business offerings and evaluate opportunities moving forward. The Directors are confident that a recapitalised AdEffective will be well placed to achieve these objectives.
The Company remains committed to organic growth of its existing core businesses by focusing its attention on signing up additional partners and clients to its range of online advertising offerings.
The syndicated online advertising business (AdFeed) in which the Company has a partnership with Yahoo globally in 16 countries across four continents, continues to provide steady revenues for the organisation. However, due to a number of challenges within this industry, the Company does not expect significant growth from this channel in the short to medium term.
Accordingly, the Company has shifted its focus to developing new platforms, such as Footar, and to looking to other opportunities to diversify its business.
In addition to focusing on organic growth, the Company intends to actively pursue acquisition opportunities to provide further stability to the business. Such opportunities may possibly include prospects in sectors other than the digital media industry in which AdEffective currently operates. Should suitable business opportunities be identified, the Company will assess them for technical, legal and commercial suitability.

Outlook
Whilst the Company remains cautiously optimistic about the outlook for AdEffective, the Directors are encouraged by the significant savings already made by the Company through its process of stabilisation and systematic reduction in expenses.
The Board is confident that the share consolidation and recapitalisation of AdEffective will improve liquidity of the Company’s shares; enable the Company to better execute its business development objectives; and progress the AdFeed and Footar divisions of the Company’s business. Significantly, the Company, once recapitalised and debt free with a strengthened balance sheet will be in a prime position to leverage opportunities for strategic growth with the key objective of generating shareholder value.
Shareholders are encouraged to read this Prospectus and the accompanying Acceptance Form fully. If you have any questions about the Rights Issue, you should consult your stockbroker or other professional adviser.
On behalf of the Board, I commend this offer to you.
Yours sincerely
Andrew Plympton Chairman 2 March 2012

Shareholders approved the issue of the Conversion Shares and Conversion Options at the EGM.
Lenders are entitled to receive the Conversion Options whether the Convertible Loans are converted or not.

1.8 Minimum Subscription
The minimum subscription to be raised pursuant to the Rights Issue Offer is the Underwritten Amount, being approximately $1.49 million (before costs).
1.9 Can you apply for extra shares in addition to your entitlement?
Yes you can. The Entitlement and Acceptance Form allows you to apply for New Shares in addition to your Entitlement. The Company has sole discretion to issue all, none or some of any additional New Shares you may apply for. Additional New Shares will be issued at the same time as Shares applied for under your Entitlement. Application monies for any additional New Shares you apply for but which are not issued to you will be refunded without interest. The Company will only issue up to the aggregate number of New Shares that are offered under each Eligible Shareholder’s Entitlement, therefore it may be necessary to scale-back applications for additional New Shares if applications exceed this number.
AdEffective intends to honour all applications for additional New Shares where possible. This will reduce any Shortfall which may otherwise be issued to the Underwriters (refer to section 1.13).
1.10 Can you apply for less than your Entitlement?
Yes you can. The Entitlement and Acceptance Form allows you to apply for less New Shares than your Entitlement.
Rights Issue Prospectus March 2012
page:13
==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
1.11 What will the New Shares in AdEffective be?
New Shares issued under the Rights Issue Offer will be fully-paid ordinary shares ranking equally with Shares currently on issue.
No brokerage or stamp duty is payable on the issue of new shares under the Offer.
1.12 What is the effect of the Offers on Shareholder dilution and the control of AdEffective?
If you exercise your full Entitlement under the Rights Issue Offer you will not be diluted. If you do not exercise your full Entitlement under the Rights Issue Offer you will be diluted. Ineligible Shareholders will have their holdings diluted by the Rights Issue Offer.
The effect of the Rights Issue Offer on the control of AdEffective will depend upon a number of factors including:
-
the level of Shareholder participation (including both the taking up of Entitlements and applications for additional New Shares);
-
which Shareholders participate; and
-
the extent to which Rights are traded, exercised and who may decide to exercise them.
If every Shareholder was to take up their full Entitlement, there would be a minimal effect on the control of AdEffective (having regard to the small shareholdings of non-Eligible Shareholders), as the Rights Issue Offer is made pro-rata and in that case there would not be any scope for any Shareholder to apply for additional New Shares under the Rights Issue Offer and there would be no Shortfall for the Underwriters (see section 1.13).
The final shareholding interests of each of the Underwriter and Sub-Underwriters upon completion of the Rights Issue Offer will depend upon the factors noted earlier in this section.
The following can be said about the potential effect of the Rights Issue Offer on the control of AdEffective:
-
as noted above, if every Shareholder was to take up their full Entitlement, there would be no effect on the control of AdEffective;
-
should some Shareholders elect not to participate in the Rights Issue Offer, it would result in the Underwriter and/or Sub-Underwriters increasing their holding in the Company, giving each of them increased voting rights as well as gaining a greater degree of influence over the operations of the Company;
-
following the Rights Issue Offer, if the Underwriter and/or Sub-Underwriters hold over 25% of the Company’s Shares, they could prevent the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders; and
-
pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (refer to section 5.5.1), the Underwriter has the right (but not the obligation) to nominate up to two candidates to the Board of the Company if sub-underwriters are required to subscribe for more than 40% of the underwritten amount.
Rights Issue Prospectus March 2012
page:14
==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
1.13 Shortfall
If you do not wish to take up any part of your Entitlement or trade your Rights under the Rights Issue Offer, you are not required to take any action. That part of your Entitlement not taken up or traded will form part of the Shortfall and will be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement and this section 1.13. In these circumstances, you will receive no benefit. Accordingly, it is important that you take action to either accept or renounce your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions in section 1.6.
Eligible Shareholders who have subscribed for their Entitlement in full may apply for additional New Shares and free Attaching Options by completing the relevant section of your Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
To the extent that Eligible Shareholders do not take up their Entitlement in full, the resultant Shortfall will be allocated at the discretion of the Underwriter in consultation with the Company and in accordance with the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement. In the event that an application for the Shortfall is not accepted, Application Monies (without interest) will be refunded by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act. Neither the Company nor the Underwriter guarantees that you will receive any Shortfall Securities.
The Directors reserve the right to separately place any Shortfall which is not taken up by Eligible Shareholders under the Rights Issue within 3 months after the Closing Date. Shortfall Securities will be issued at the same price as offered to Eligible Shareholders under the Rights Issue.
1.14 ASX Listing
The Company will apply to ASX for quotation of the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus within seven days after the date of this Prospectus. If an application for quotation of the Securities is not made within seven days after the date of this Prospectus, or ASX does not grant permission for official quotation of the Securities within three months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will not issue any Securities and will repay all application monies for the Securities within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.
The fact that ASX may grant official quotation to the Securities is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Securities now offered under this Prospectus.
1.15 Allotment of Securities
Securities issued pursuant to the Offers will be allotted in accordance with the Timetable and the Listing Rules. Where the number of Securities issued is less than the number applied for, or where no allotment is made under the Shortfall Offer, surplus Application Monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.
Pending the allotment and issue of the Securities or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all Application Monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.

1.16 CHESS and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company operates an electronic CHESS sub-register and an electronic issuer sponsored sub-register. These two sub-registers make up the Company’s register of Securities. The Company will not issue certificates to investors. Rather, holding statements (similar to bank statements) will be dispatched to investors as soon as practicable after allotment.
Holding statements will be sent either by CHESS (for new investors who elect to hold their Securities on the CHESS sub-register) or by the Company’s Share Registry (for new investors who elect to hold their Securities on the Issuer sponsored sub-register). The statements will set out the number of New Shares and Attaching Options allotted under the Prospectus and provide details of a Holder Identification Number (for new investors who elect to hold their Securities on the Chess sub-register) or Reference Number (for new investors who elect to hold their Securities on the issuer sponsored sub-register). Updated holding statements will also be sent to each new investor following the month in which the balance of their holding of New Shares and Attaching Options changes, and also as required by the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act.
1.17 Risks
As with any share investment, there are risks associated with investing in the Company. The principal risks that could affect the financial and market performance of the Company and its business are detailed in section 2 of this Prospectus. The Securities on offer under this Prospectus should be considered speculative. Accordingly, before deciding to invest in the Company, investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety and should consider all factors in light of their individual circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice.
1.18 Distribution of Prospectus
The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia or New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus 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 Securities the subject of this Prospectus or otherwise permit a public offering of the Securities the subject of this Prospectus in any jurisdiction outside Australia or New Zealand.
1.19 Treatment of ineligible Shareholders
The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to extend the Rights Issue Offer to any Shareholder with a registered address outside Australia or New Zealand, having regard to:
-
the small number of shareholders with addresses in such other countries;
-
the number and value of the shares they hold; and
-
the cost to AdEffective of complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in such other countries.
Shareholders who are not eligible to apply for New Shares under the Rights Issue Offer will have their Rights sold for them by the Underwriter, being the nominee appointed by AdEffective, and their proportionate share of any net sale proceeds will be remitted to them in accordance with the key dates set out on page 4.
Rights Issue Prospectus March 2012
page:16
==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
It may be that there is no market for these Rights, or that the gross proceeds will be less than the expenses of the sale process. In this case, these Rights will, at AdEffective’s discretion, either be allowed to expire or be sold and the Company will retain any proceeds.
The Underwriter, as nominee, will have the discretion to determine the timing and the price at which the Rights may be sold and the manner in which any sale is made, but will be obliged to achieve the best price reasonably obtainable at the time of the sale.
The Company and its officers, employees, agents and contractors (including the Underwriter) disclaim all liability in tort (including negligence), contract, under statute or otherwise to any person for any failure to sell any Rights at any specific price or on any specific day.
Any net proceeds will be paid in Australian dollars in accordance with their existing payment instructions provided to the Company in respect of their shareholding (i.e. mailed to the address on the Company register of Shareholders or deposited into the nominated bank account), at the ineligible Shareholder’s risk.
1.20 Taxation
It is the responsibility of all persons to satisfy themselves of the particular taxation treatment that applies to them by consulting their own professional tax advisers. Taxation consequences will depend on particular circumstances. Neither the Company nor any of its officers accept any liability or responsibility in respect of the taxation consequences of the matters referred to above or any other taxation consequences connected with an investment in the Securities in the Company.
1.21 Privacy Disclosure
Persons who apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus are asked to provide personal information to the Company, either directly or through the Share Registry. The Company and the Share Registry collects, holds and uses that personal information to assess applications for Securities to provide facilities and services to Shareholders and Optionholders, and to carry out various administrative functions. Access to the information collected may be provided to the Company’s agents and service providers and to ASX, ASIC and other regulatory bodies on the basis that they deal with such information in accordance with the relevant privacy laws. If the information requested is not supplied, applications for Securities will not be processed. In accordance with privacy laws, information collected in relation to specific Shareholders and Optionholders can be obtained by that Shareholder or Optionholder through contacting the Company or the Share Registry.
1.22 Enquiries
This document is important and should be read in its entirety. Persons who are in any doubt as to the course of action to be followed should consult their stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser without delay.

SECTION 2
RISK FACTORS
2.1 Introduction
The Securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company’s business.
This section identifies the areas the Directors regard as the major risks associated with an investment in AdEffective. Investors should be aware that an investment in the Company involves risks which may be higher than the risks associated with an investment in other companies. Intending investors should read the whole of this Prospectus in order to appreciate fully such matters and the manner in which the Company intends to operate before any decision is made to apply for Securities.
Whilst the Directors recommend that Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlement, there are numerous widespread risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. There is also a range of specific risks associated with AdEffective business.
Whilst some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, some of these risk factors are largely beyond the control of the Company and its Directors because of the nature of the business of the Company. Accordingly, an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which the Securities will trade.
The following list represents key risk factors of which the Directors are aware and of which, although not exhaustive, investors need to be aware of. This list is a summary of the more material matters to be considered and should be read in conjunction with specific matters referred to in the Company’s announcements and reports. However, the summary is not exhaustive and potential investors should examine the contents of this Prospectus in its entirety and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for Securities.
2.2 Specific Risks
A number of specific risk factors that may impact the future performance of the Company are described below. Shareholders should note that this list is not exhaustive.
2.2.1 Negative Cash Operating Position
As at the date of this Prospectus the Company is operating on a negative cash operating basis, that is, its operating expenses exceed its revenues. The Company may be unable to enter into new contracts (and meet the requisite deliverables under such contracts) or identify new business opportunities (refer to section 2.2.2 below) whilst still operating the cash flow negative operating business. As such it is possible that the Company's cash flow position will remain negative and its financial position may therefore worsen. A failure by the Company to successfully mitigate the risk of this occurring may cause the Company’s financial position to deteriorate and affect the Company's ability to operate as a going concern.
Rights Issue Prospectus March 2012
page:18
==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
2.2.2 New Business Opportunities
In order to grow, the Company intends to pursue new business opportunities, possibly including opportunities in sectors other than the digital media industry in which it currently operates. Should a suitable new business opportunity be identified, it will then need to be assessed for its technical, legal and commercial suitability.
There can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition of a new business or project will be completed or will be successful. The acquisition of new business opportunities (whether completed or not) may also require payment of monies (as a deposit or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence and prior to the completion of comprehensive due diligence.
If any proposed acquisition is not completed, monies already advanced may not be recoverable. Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the risks associated with operating a new business or project will also apply. Any such new business or project will also be subject to the risks associated with the industry in which they operate.
2.2.3 Future capital needs and additional funding
The funding of any further ongoing capital requirements beyond the requirements as set out in this Prospectus will depend upon a number of factors including the extent of the Company’s ability to generate income from activities which the Company cannot forecast with any certainty.
Any additional equity financing will be dilutive to Shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding as needed, it may not be able to take advantage of opportunities. Further, the Company may be required to reduce the scope of its operations or anticipated expansion and it may affect the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
2.3 General Share Risk
An investment in the Company’s Shares has the general risks associated with any investment in the share market. Returns from an investment in Shares will depend on general stock market conditions as well as the performance of the Company. Investors should recognise that the price of Shares may fall as well as rise, the price at which the Company's Shares trade may be above or below the issue price of those Shares and that concentrated shareholdings may affect liquidity of the Shares. The trading price of the Shares is likely to be subject to fluctuations in response to factors such as actual or anticipated variations in the Company’s operating results, announcements of new products by the Company or its competitors, announcements by the Company or its competitors of significant acquisitions, technological developments, capital commitments, additions or departures of key personnel and other events or factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Market fluctuations, as well as general political and economic conditions such as recession or interest rate or currency rate fluctuations or changes in political or economic policy in the markets in which the Company operates, may also adversely affect the market price of the Company's Shares.
Rights Issue Prospectus March 2012
page:19
==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
2.4 Technology Risk
An investment in companies involved in technology and new media sectors attracts additional risks associated with investing in industries which are evolving rapidly. There are specific risks affecting investment in sectors involving technologies, arising from market perception that the industry is subject to volatility. The Company’s internet search and advertising business all utilise relatively new technology. There is no guarantee that the technology will not, in the future, be superseded by other technologies.
2.5 Research and Development
Development and commercialisation of new products and services generally involves long lead times. There is no certainty that AdEffective will be successful in the development of new products within commercial time frames. The Internet advertising industry is constantly evolving and there is no guarantee that the Company’s products will be commercially successful. The willingness of customers to utilise the Company’s Internet advertising services and the willingness of suppliers to syndicate advertising feeds to the Company is subject to a wide range of factors beyond the control of the Company, the occurrence or effect of which cannot be predicted. The Company is also exposed to the risk that changes to industry technical standards could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial performance.
2.6 Market Acceptance
Market acceptance, both in Australia and internationally, of the Company’s products is uncertain. These uncertainties are due to difficulties in estimating market size, product pricing and acceptance, lead times for the awarding of contracts and the possibility of the discovery and development of new technologies and competing products and services. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company’s products and services will gain acceptance in the market, or that the Company will receive profits from the sale of its products and services.
2.7 Competition
AdEffective is not unique in developing and marketing many of its products and services. There is a risk that the Company's products and services may not, in the future, be able to compete with competitors' products and services on cost or technical grounds and therefore contracts may not be awarded to it. There is a risk that the cost of competing products and services may fall or that the Company’s services may become too expensive to allow the Company to compete effectively. A loss of a number of AdEffective’s major customers could adversely affect both revenues and profitability.
2.8 General Economic Conditions
Any prolonged economic slowdown of the Australian economy or overseas economies in which the Company operates could potentially have materially adverse consequences on the financial performance of the Company.
Rights Issue Prospectus March 2012
page:20
==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
2.9 Reliance on Key Personnel
The responsibility of overseeing day-to-day operations and the strategic direction of the Company is concentrated amongst a small management team. A loss of any of them, or of one of the members of the senior management team, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's prospects.
2.10 Reliance on Systems
The successful operation of AdEffective’s business is dependent on various technologies including the internet, co-located dedicated servers and Ad Systems. Any significant disruption to these systems could have a materially detrimental effect on AdEffective’s business.
2.11 Government Policy Changes
Changes in Australian or international government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies may affect the Company. Such changes are beyond the control of the Company. The Company conducts its business in reliance upon current understandings of taxation issues and current Australian Accounting Standards.
2.12 Intellectual Property Rights
One of the Company's significant assets is its intellectual property rights in products and services, which it has developed. The Company relies on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect these assets. The laws of some foreign jurisdictions may provide less protection than the laws of Australia for the Company's proprietary rights. Unauthorised use of the Company's intellectual property could have a materially adverse effect on the Company and there can be no assurance that the Company's legal remedies would adequately compensate it for the damage to its business caused by such use. The Company is not aware that any of its products infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties in any material respect. There can be no assurance, however, that third parties will not claim infringement by the Company with respect to current or future products or services. Any such claim, with or without merit, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources and a successful claim could effectively block the Company's ability to market its products and services which would have a material adverse effect on the financial and operating results of the Company.
2.13 Ability to Retain Key Clients
The business of AdEffective is dependent on the securing of contracts to license and supply advertising products and services to consumers. AdEffective has no control over the timing of these opportunities or in respect of the awarding of such contracts. The performance of contracts may incur additional, unexpected costs or be subject to delays, which may require the Company to revise its timetable or delay the successful development of the business. Despite the Directors having no reason to expect the loss of any key customer of the Company, the business could be adversely affected by the loss of one or more such customers. The Company's relationship with its key customers is principally governed by formal and informal contractual arrangements. Generally, there is no guaranteed minimum level of revenue for AdEffective under these arrangements. Because there are relatively few customers and contracts can be relatively large, revenue is not expected to be spread evenly throughout the year. If the Company fails to maintain or secure
Rights Issue Prospectus March 2012
page:21
==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
future contracts, revenue could be significantly affected. There is also a risk that contracts it believes it may be able to enter into will not be able to be successfully negotiated or existing contracts may be terminated at short notice or not extended or replaced when they are due for renewal.
2.14 Relationships with Key Clients and Suppliers
The Company has a number of key clients to which it supplies and for whom it sells advertising. The Company is reliant on these clients and advertisers. Any changes in the Company's relationship with one or more clients or advertisers would be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
2.15 International Operations
Pursuit of growth opportunities internationally may require significant investment for an extended period before returns, if any, are realised. While the Company does not have any immediate plans to expand significantly internationally, if it did so, there can be no assurance that the Company's plans to expand into international markets would be successful. The Company's prospects in this regard could be adversely affected by factors such as delays in the opening of foreign markets, the exchange rate, a preference for the use of local suppliers, current or future legislation or regulatory or technical standards which discriminate against overseas suppliers. In addition, Australian laws and policies affecting foreign trade, investment and taxation could also adversely affect the Company's Australian and international operations and growth.
2.16 AdEffective
The Company is involved in the relatively new; fast moving and dynamic digital media and technology sector and accordingly there is no guarantee that the AdEffective businesses will operate profitably in the short term given the early stage of development of a number of its businesses, the nature of the digital media and technology sectors generally and its proposed expansion into new areas.
2.17 Exchange Rate Fluctuations
The Company has no immediate plans to expand significantly into international markets. If it does so, the Company will be relatively more exposed to exchange rate fluctuations between the Australian Dollar and the various overseas currencies of the countries with which it trades and this could have a material effect on the Company’s revenues and earnings.
2.18 General Risks
The future prospects of the Company’s business may be affected by circumstances and external factors beyond the Company’s control. Financial performance of the Company may be affected by a number of business risks that apply to companies generally and may include economic, financial, market or regulatory conditions.
2.18.1 General Economic Conditions
The operating and financial performance of the Company is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, including levels of consumer spending, inflation, interest rates, access to debt and capital markets, international economic conditions, significant acts of terrorism, hostilities or war or natural
Rights Issue Prospectus March 2012
page:22
==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
disasters, and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Prolonged deterioration in general economic conditions may have an adverse impact on the Company’s business or financial condition. No guarantee can be made that the Company’s market performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors.
2.18.2 Global Credit and Investment Markets
Global credit and investment markets have recently experienced a high degree of uncertainty and volatility. The factors which have led to this situation have been outside the control of the Company and may continue for some time resulting in continued volatility and uncertainty in world stock markets (including ASX). This may impact the price at which the Securities trade regardless of operating performance and affect the Company's ability to raise additional equity and/or debt to achieve its objectives, if required.
2.18.3 Taxation and government regulations
Changes in taxation and government legislation in a range of areas (for example, the Corporations Act, accounting standards, and taxation law) can have a significant influence on the outlook for companies and the returns to investors.
The recoupment of taxation losses accrued by the Company from any future revenues is subject to the satisfaction of tests outlined in taxation legislation or regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. There is no guarantee that the Company will satisfy all of these requirements at the time it seeks to recoup its tax losses which may impact on the financial performance and cash flows of the Company.
2.19 Speculative Nature of Investment
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company 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 Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of the Securities.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities.

SECTION 3
PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE OFFERS
3.1 Purpose of the Offers
The purpose of the Offers is to raise approximately $1.49 million (before expenses). The proceeds of the Offers are planned to be used in accordance with the table set out below:
| Use of Proceeds of Offers | Expenditure($) |
|---|---|
| Repayment of debt | 794,309 |
| Workingcapital | 493,533 |
| Expenses of the Offer1 | 200,000 |
| Total | 1,487,842 |
Notes:
-
Please refer to section 5.10 of this Prospectus for further details of the expenses of the Offers.
-
The above table is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Prospectus. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the ultimate way funds will be applied. The Directors reserve the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.
-
As the Rights Issue Offer is fully underwritten, the amount to be raised is $1,487,842. The funds raised will be applied first to the repayment of debt and expenses of the Offers, with the balance applied to working capital for the Company, and in particular to:
-
a. continue to progress AdEffective’s syndicated online advertising business AdFeed;
-
b. continue to progress and develop its Footar division;
-
c. generally focus on organic growth of its existing core businesses by investing in relationships with additional partners and clients to its range of online advertising offerings; and

The Board is confident that the funds raised from the recapitalisation of AdEffective will improve liquidity of the Company’s shares; enable the Company to better execute its business development objectives; and progress the AdFeed and Footar divisions of the Company’s business. Significantly, the Company, once recapitalised and debt free with a strengthened balance sheet, will be in a prime position to leverage opportunities for strategic growth with the key objective of generating shareholder value.
Please refer to the Company’s Half-Yearly Report for the period ended 31 December 2011 for general information about the Company’s current business activities and outlook guidance.

(i) the effect of the Offers on the Company; and

The Company will provide a copy of each of the Annual Report for financial year ended 30 June 2011 and the Half-Year Report for 6 months ended 31 December 2011 to any person on request, prior to the Closing Date.
The Company will provide a copy of all documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company under the provisions of the Listing Rules since the Company lodged its most recent Annual Financial Report on 30 September 2011 free of charge to any investor who so requests prior to the Closing Date. A list of those documents for the period from 30 September 2011 to the time of lodging this Prospectus is set out in section 6. The Company will also provide a copy of the Annual Financial Report for the period ended 30 June 2011 free of charge upon request.
