Key Risks

Introduction

There are a number of risks, both specific to the Company and of a general nature, which may, either individually or in combination, affect the future operational and financial performance of the Company and the value of its shares.

The risks set out below are not, and should not be considered to be, an exhaustive list of all the risks relevant to an investment in the Company. The Company, however, considers that these risks represent key risks to an investment in the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company is unaware of, or that the Company considers to be immaterial, may also become key risks that can adversely affect the Company's operational and financial performance in the future. These key investment risks are general in nature and regard has not been had to the investment objectives, financial situation, tax position or particular needs of any investor.

Before investing, or increasing any investment, in the Company, participants should consider whether an investment is suitable for them having regard to the risk factors set out below, publicly available information, own investment objectives, and personal financial and other circumstances. Investors should consult their professional adviser if any doubts about an investment in the Company.

Key Investment Risks

Stock Market Fluctuations

The value of the Company's shares will be determined by the stock market and will be subject to a range of factors beyond the Company's control. These factors include, but are not limited to, the demand for, and availability of the Company's shares, movements in interest rates, exchange rates, and rates of inflation, fluctuations in the Australian and international stock markets, changes in fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies, and general domestic and international economic activity.

Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Exchange rate fluctuations affect the Company's profitability. The Company reports its financial results and maintains its accounts in Australian dollars, whilst a proportion of the Company’s business is conducted in currencies other than Australian dollars. Foreign exchange rates are impacted by a number of factors beyond the Company's control. Changes in exchange rates cause revenues and expenses incurred in non-Australian dollar currencies to fluctuate , possibly causing expenses to be greater than expected or revenues to be lower than expected.

Financing Considerations

The Company may need to raise additional debt or equity funds in the future to fund its activities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to renew existing debt funding, or obtain additional debt or equity funding when required, or that the terms associated with that funding will be acceptable to the Company. This may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Key Risks

Interest Rate Risks

Interest rates may rise significantly which may impact terms of trade, working capital and finance costs in the Company’s future operations.

Changes to Government Legislation and Policy including Taxation

New legislation and changes to existing legislation and government policy in jurisdictions in which the Company operates may impact upon the Company and its operating performance. Changes to corporate income tax, value added tax (VAT), import duties, property tax, excise tax, withholding tax or any other applicable taxation legislation or policies in jurisdictions where the Company operates may adversely affect the Company's financial profitability, net assets and cash flow.

Dependence on Key Personnel

Retaining and recruiting qualified personnel is critical to the Company's success. If the Company cannot attract and retain qualified personnel it could adversely affect the Company's operations and its future growth plans.

Retention of Key Business Relationships

The Company relies on strategic relationships with other entities such as suppliers and business partners. Any circumstance, which causes the early termination or non-renewal of one or more of these key business arrangements or contracts, could adversely impact the Company.

Environmental Impact

The Company could be subject to claims due to environmental damage. This could subject the Company to potential liability and have an adverse effect on the Company's financial and operational performance.

Operational and Execution Risks

Successful execution of the Company’s business plan is dependent on the implementation of initiatives. There are execution risks inherent in the Company’s business initiatives and no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in their implementation. The Company’s management may fail to realise business plan targets, including sales, due to an unexpected decline in consumer demand for the Company’s products and/or services or due to significant changes in competitor activities. Manufacturing margins may also vary significantly in the future due to factors beyond management’s control which may include a decline in demand for the Company’s products and/or services or a significant rise in competition by similar or substitute products. The Company may be subject to significant unforseen expenses or actions. This may include unplanned operating expenses, future legal actions or expenses in relation to future unforseen events. The Directors expect that the Company will have adequate working capital to carry out its stated objectives however there is the risk that additional funds, including by way of share issue may be required to fund the Company’s future objectives.

Key Risks

Research and Development

The Company will continue its on-going development of and research into new and existing products. The Company can make no representations that the continued development of existing and/or new products and/or services will be successful. There can be no assurance that the products and/or services can be successfully commercialised and exploited, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Intellectual Property Risks

The brand names, trademarks, patents and other intellectual property of the Company are regarded as critical to its success. Accordingly, the Company is reliant on regulations regarding copyright, trade marks, patents and confidentiality restrictions with staff, contractors and others to safeguard its intellectual property rights. The Company has made reasonable efforts to protect the Company’s intellectual property. However, unauthorised use or exploitation of its intellectual property may occur and result in an adverse effect on the operating and financial performance of the Company. The Company may experience conflict with third parties who may contest its rights to what it believes is its intellectual property. The Company cannot assure potential investors that the actions it has taken to establish and protect its intellectual property rights will be adequate to prevent imitation of its products by others or to prevent others from seeking to block Company activity as a violation of proprietary rights of others. The Company’s intellectual property rights may be infringed or challenged resulting in loss of competitive advantages or significant costs.

Inability to Meet Customer Demand

For any number of reasons the Company may not, from time to time, have an adequate supply of products and/or services to meet customer demand which may cause it to be unable to fill orders, to lose sales or to provide services. Such inability to meet customer demand from time to time may arise if the Company’s sales growth accelerates substantially or in the event that its distribution or service network grows substantially.

Investment Speculative

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 its shares. Therefore, shares issued by the Company 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 speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for shares.
