As with any investment in securities, there are risks associated with investing in the Company. The principal risks that could affect the financial and market performance of the Company are detailed in Section 11 of this Prospectus. Before deciding to invest in the Company, applicants should read this Prospectus in its entirety and should consider all factors in light of their individual circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice.
Specific risks that investors should consider include the following:
-
The Company has incurred losses in the past and it is therefore not possible to evaluate the Company’s future prospects based on past performance. The Company expects to make losses in the foreseeable future. Factors that will determine the Company’s future profitability are its ability to manage its costs, its ability to execute its development and growth strategies and the actions of competitors and regulatory developments. As a result, the extent of future profits, if any, and the time required to achieve sustainable profitability, is uncertain. In addition, the level of any such future profitability (or loss) cannot be predicted and may vary significantly from period to period.
-
There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully commercialise its products or find viable markets to sell its products to customers to achieve a commercial return. There can be no assurance that the Company’s development activity, will result in a viable business. Even if an apparently viable business is identified, there can be no
Page | 2
guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
-
At the completion of the Offers, the Company will have 80,000,000 Options on issue. The exercise of part or all of these Options will have a dilutionary effect on a Shareholder’s interest in the Company. Shareholders are referred to Section 3.4 for details of the Company’s capital structure.
-
The Company may require further funding in the future and there can be no assurance that further funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Any inability to obtain funding will adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company and, consequently, its performance.

6. COMPANY OVERVIEW
6.1 Company Background
Solverdi, prior to being placed into administration on 18 March 2010, was a producer of renewable fuels using waste oils, sourced within Australia and the United States of America. The Company had previously entered into a license and operating agreement with White Mountain Group LLC ( White Mountain ), an American incorporated company that specialised in the production of biofuels and biodiesel.
At the peak of its operations, Solverdi was characterised as the world’s first renewable utility. The Company offered customers a “behind the meter” solution for generating electricity during peak utilisation periods at 15-25% below peak rates per kilowatt hour. In addition, the Solverdi Process was used to produce steam, compressed air, and recapture non-potable water. The Solverdi Process includes an amplified solar cracking (thermal) system that delivers renewable electricity and incorporates the use of solar and renewable fuels and utilises a commercial buildings uninterruptable power supply and interior energy infrastructure.
The core business activities of Solverdi included:
-
(a) the production of biofuel and biodiesel from the beneficiation of waste oils using the proprietary technology of the Company, known as Thermodepolymerisation; and
-
(b) the creation of a service model based on the collection and acquisition of waste oils, the beneficiation of the waste oils, the production of the biofuel and the delivery of the biofuel. The service model created allowed Solverdi to provide an all-inclusive proposition for its customers.
Solverdi listed on ASX on 14 December 2005, and established an operational business model as a producer of biofuel using waste oils.
In November 2008, Solverdi entered into an agreement with a US renewable energy group, White Mountain, whereby White Mountain granted Solverdi a licence over its renewable energy technology platform and invested $500,000 into the Company for a 10.6% stake in Solverdi.
As part of the investment in the Company by White Mountain, renewable fuel plants were constructed in Nevada and Arizona. One of the fuel plants in Nevada was fully operational at the time of the appointment of administrators with the second plant in Nevada under construction. The third plant in Arizona was also under construction.
The technology retained by Solverdi as part of the agreement with White Mountain is known as TDP[TM] Thermodepolymerisation Technology, which converts waste oils and beneficiates the product into a renewable fuel and biofuel for use in the agriculture industry and the transportation industry.
6.2 Administration Overview
On 18 March 2010, Mr Phillip Pinn of Pinn Deavin BIO was appointed as administrator by the Company’s board of directors pursuant to Section 436A of the Corporations Act.
Page | 18
==> picture [117 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
At the first meeting of the creditors it was resolved by the creditors of the Company that Mr Geoffrey Reidy of Rodgers Reidy be appointed as administrator of the Company to replace Mr Pinn.
Hemisphere Investment Partners Pty Ltd ( Hemisphere ) subsequently put forward a proposal to the administrator to reconstruct and recapitalise the Company with a view to ensuring that the Company could continue to operate as a going concern and seek reinstatement to trading on ASX ( Proposal ).
On 3 September 2010, the Proposal was put to creditors and approved. The Proposal can be summarised as follows:
-
(a) The Company will consolidate its existing issued capital on a one (1) for three (3) basis (being the Consolidation). It is proposed this will be approved by Shareholders at the Company’s General Meeting to be held on or about 19 April 2011.
-
(b) The Proponent has provided a non refundable deposit of $75,000 to the Company to be applied by the Deed Administrator to the Creditors Trust.
-
(c) The Proponent will be entitled to the Corporate Fee on termination of the DOCA.
-
(d) The Company will undertake the Offers pursuant to this Prospectus as outlined in paragraph 4.1.
-
(e) All of the directors of the Company will be removed and replaced by nominees of the Proponent.
The Company subsequently entered into a deed of company arrangement ( DOCA ) that provided for the payment of funds into the Company, and settlement of creditors’ claims (consistently with the terms of the Proposal).
Conditions precedent to the DOCA include:
-
(a) the Company obtaining Shareholder approval of, inter alia, the Consolidation, the payment of the Corporate Fee to the Proponent and the Proponent Offer;
-
(b) all employees of the Company being terminated prior to the termination of the DOCA;
-
(c) ASX confirming in writing that it will lift the Company’s suspension on the ASX following the Capital Raising on terms satisfactory to the Proponent and the Company without the need to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules; and
-
(d) the Offers pursuant to this Prospectus being closed and the minimum subscription of $2,200,000 being raised.
The DOCA will be terminated following completion of:
-
(a) the capital raisings under this Prospectus;
-
(b) payment to the Deed Administrator of $780,000 (to be applied to the Creditors Trust established to meet the payment of the Administrator’s fees and expenses, Deed Administrator’s fees and expenses and the

satisfaction of the compromised creditor’s claims) and transfer to the Creditors Trust of all the Company’s assets (including the issued share capital of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, ACN 051 792 495 Pty Ltd). Together the payment amount and the transferred assets will be the amount to be applied to the Creditors Trust after payment of the Administrator’s fees and expenses and the Deed Administrator’s fees and expenses; and
- (c) payment to the Proponent of the Corporate Fee and the issue of Shares and Options to the Proponent under the Proponent Offer.
6.3 Principal Features of the Proposal
On 24 September 2010, pursuant to Section 442A of the Corporations Act 2001, Benjamin John Bussell, Gino D’Anna and Darren Paul Olsen were appointed as Directors of the Company. On 24 September 2010 and immediately following execution of the DOCA, control of the Company passed to these Directors.

Further, in accordance with the terms of the DOCA and the Recapitalisation Deed, all existing debts against the Company will be released, extinguished and barred, with Admitted Creditors claims only able to be met from the Trust Assets.
Following the recapitalisation of the Company, the Company will be in a position to make an application for reinstatement to trading of its Shares on the ASX, subject to compliance with ASX and Corporations Act regulatory requirements.
6.4 Proposed Business Plan
(a) Further Development of Renewable Fuel Business
The new board of Solverdi ( New Board ) intends to further evaluate and develop the renewable fuel business via the use of the TDP[TM] Thermodepolymerisation Technology.
The continuing business operations of the Company are based on the technology and licence agreement executed with White Mountain. This includes the Shallow Water Reactor Process, the Frac Water Technology, the TDP[TM] Thermodepolymerisation Technology and the Solar Cracking Technology. The TDP[TM] Thermodepolymerisation Technology will underpin the continued operations of the Company as Solverdi embarks upon a restructured business plan designed to mitigate the need for extensive capital investments whilst maintaining the same business operations.
Thermaldepolymerisation ( TDP ) is a depolymerisation process using hydrous pyrolysis for the reduction of complex organic materials (usually waste products of various sorts, often biomass and plastic) into light crude oil. It mimics the natural geological processes thought to be involved in the production of fossil fuels. Under pressure and heat, long chain polymers of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon decompose into short-chain petroleum hydrocarbons with a maximum length of around 18 carbons.
On 1 December 2010, White Mountain and the Company signed an agreement allowing Solverdi the right to access the excess capacity at a renewable fuel plant located in North Las Vegas, Nevada operated by experts engaged by White Mountain for the production of biofuel using feedstock supplied by Solverdi.
The White Mountain plant in Nevada currently has total capacity of 240,000 litres per month, a portion of which can be secured by Solverdi in the production of the Biofuel and biodiesel. The toll processing arrangement allows Solverdi to pay White Mountain a toll processing fee equal to US$0.86 for every litre of Biodiesel and a license fee of US$0.054 per litre of Biodiesel produced for the use of the technology in the plant,
Page | 21
==> picture [117 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
produced at standard temperature and pressure at the White Mountain Facility from the feed stocks supplied by Solverdi, delivered to Solverdi.
Access to the treatment plant will allow Solverdi to reduce the need to raise large sums of capital associated with the capital expenditure required for the construction, operation and maintenance of the plants on an ongoing basis. This is considered to be a more efficient business model than previously employed by Solverdi and allows the Company to treat waste oil products using the White Mountain plant by sharing the sale margin with White Mountain. In addition, the experts and personnel that operate the plant on behalf of White Mountain will provide their expertise to Solverdi during the beneficiation and manufacturing process.
In addition to accessing personnel and experts within White Mountain, Solverdi may also be able to utilise the existing White Mountain customer base as an opportunity to channel its own production of biofuel and biodiesel.
This business model is essentially the same as the core business of Solverdi prior to it being placed into administration, without the risk associated with constructing and operating its own biodiesel plants. In turn, the associated large sums of capital which were required under the previous business model are no longer required.
Solverdi will endeavour to create “micro-plant” operations in the fragmented waste oil and grease interceptor industry. Solverdi will attempt to create service collection “vacuums”, that competing companies will find difficult to react to, and implement effective “radius” marketing to increase customer density.
Solverdi, through its proprietary technology, intends to convert the collected waste material into a value added resource for the manufacture of renewable fuels. Using proprietary, patent issued and patent pending, technology to convert waste water and waste oil sources to alternative fuel.
The future activities of the Company will largely focus on the commercial application of the existing Solverdi technology, with a view to achieving the production and sale of biofuel and biodiesel products into the transport industry as well as animal feed stock to the agricultural industry under a relationship with White Mountain.
This will be accomplished through the toll processing agreement with White Mountain. Refer to Section 10.6 of this Prospectus for further details of the toll processing agreement.
(b) Evaluation and Pursuit of New Project Acquisitions and Investments
As part of the recapitalisation, the Company will also evaluate other project opportunities for acquisition or investment. The Company proposes to review projects across a range of sectors.
The Company proposes to investigate acquisitions and investments in the following sectors:
Page | 22
==> picture [117 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
(i) metals and mining across all commodities, including iron ore, gold, copper, manganese, lead, zinc, silver, platinum, chrome, nickel and rare earth elements;
- (ii) energy and energy related investments including oil and gas, coal bed methane, coal and uranium; and
(iii) renewable energy and fuels including Biofuel, biodiesel and ethanol.
6.5 Expenditure Budget and Application of Funds
The Company proposes to adopt the budget set out in Section 3.3 of this Prospectus in relation to funding the Company’s activities, providing working capital for the acquisition and development of other investments (as identified by the Company) and meeting the administration costs of the Company and the expenses of the recapitalisation of the Company, including payments for the benefit of the creditors pursuant to the DOCA.
The Directors are satisfied that upon completion of the Offers, the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its stated objectives.
It is possible that any future acquisitions that may be contemplated by the Company may exceed the current or projected working capital of the Company. It is expected that these acquisitions would be funded by project finance and/or further equity issues, as required (subject to Shareholder approvals if required).
Following the Minimum Subscription being raised and the issue and allotment of the Shares and Options under this Prospectus, the DOCA shall terminate and the Administrators shall retire in accordance with the terms of the DOCA and Recapitalisation Deed, which are summarised in Sections 10.2 and 10.3.
6.6 Other Opportunities
In addition to the above, the new management team will actively seek out complementary and non-complementary assets, investments and businesses that may have the potential to generate additional shareholder value.

7. RENEWABLE ENERGY AND BIOFUEL INDUSTRY
7.1 Introduction to the Renewable Fuel Industry
Biodiesel is produced from renewable plant or animal feedstocks containing fatty acids using a process of condensation called transesterification. Biodiesel is the most common form of biofuel in Europe as a replacement for diesel.
In Australia total diesel consumption in 2009 was 19 gigalitres and the country imported more than 48% of those needs.
An increasing number of commercial organisations (mining companies and transport companies) are trialing B20 to B100 biodiesel blends because of the significant greenhouse reduction benefits. Biodiesel blends, usually B5 or B20, are available at an increasing number of service stations in all states.
In Australia, the main feedstocks are tallow, used cooking oil and oilseeds. The CSIRO estimate that converting all used cooking oil, tallow exports and oilseed exports to biodiesel could potentially replace 4–8% of petro-diesel consumption.
The biodiesel industry in Australia already has the capacity to produce approximately nine times the amount of biodiesel consumed in 2007.
There are many new feedstocks under development including Indian mustard seeds (Western Australia), Pongamia pinnata trees (Queensland, Western Australia), Moring oleifera (Western Australia) and algae (Queensland, South Australia, Victoria).
The feedstock with ultimately the most potential is algae because it has significant potential for a high yield per hectare of land. Algae can yield 100,000 litres of oil per hectare whereas the next best crop is palm oil at around 5,000 litres per hectare. In addition, high quality land is not required for algae and only non potable water is needed. The South Australian Research and Development Institute is investigating sustainable production of biodiesel from microalgae, including the construction of a demonstration-scale bioreactor. In Victoria, Smorgon Fuels is commercialising a process that uses the waste gas streams from power stations to convert algae to biodiesel.
At this point in time however, Australia would need about one hundred square kilometres of algae ponds to meet Australian needs, so presently algae is both uneconomically viable and physically impossible.
While these projects develop the challenge is to establish a local Australian first generation industry – an industry with the production, transport, storage and dispensing infrastructure needed to be ready to adopt the second generation technologies when they become viable. Alternative feedstocks are needed as well as additional infrastructure and more consistent access to markets.
With 98% of the energy used in the transportation industry still derived from fossil fuels and transportation being responsible for more than a quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, it is crucial that Australia moves towards truly renewable and sustainable fuel sources such as ethanol.

7.2 Thermodepolymerisation Technology and the Production of Biofuel
Thermaldepolymerisation ( TDP ) is a depolymerisation process using hydrous pyrolysis for the reduction of complex organic materials (usually waste products of various sorts, often biomass and plastic) into light crude oil. It mimics the natural geological processes thought to be involved in the production of fossil fuels. Under pressure and heat, long chain polymers of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon decompose into short-chain petroleum hydrocarbons with a maximum length of around 18 carbons.
Feedstock is funnelled into a grinder and mixed with water to create slurry that is pumped into the first-stage reactor, where heat and pressure partially break apart long molecular chains. The resulting organic soup flows into a flash vessel where pressure drops dramatically, liberating some of the water which returns back upstream to preheat the flow into the first-stage reactor. In the secondstage reactor, the remaining organic material is subjected to more intense heat, continuing the breakup of molecular chains. The resulting hot vapour then goes into vertical distillation tanks which separate it into gases, light oils, heavy oils, water and solid carbon. The gases are burned on-site to make heat to power the process and the water, which is pathogen free, goes to a municipal waste plant. The oils and carbon are deposited in storage tanks ready for sale. The process breaks down almost all materials that are fed into it. TDP even efficiently breaks down many types of hazardous materials such as poisons and difficult-todestroy biological agents.
7.2.1 Feedstocks and outputs with thermal depolymerization
The fixed carbon solids produced by the TDP process have multiple uses as a filter, a fuel source and a fertilizer. It can be used as activated carbon in wastewater treatment as a fertilizer or as a fuel similar to coal.
7.2.2 Advantages
The process can break down organic poisons, due to breaking chemical bonds and destroying the molecular shape needed for the poison's activity. It is likely to be highly effective at killing pathogens. It can also safely remove heavy metals from the samples by converting them from their ionized or organometallic forms to their stable oxides which can be safely separated from the other products. Along with similar processes, it is a method of recycling the energy content of organic materials without first removing the water. It can produce liquid fuel, which separates from the water physically without need for drying. Other methods to recover energy often require pre-drying (e.g. burning, pyrolysis) or produce gaseous products (e.g. anaerobic digestion).
7.2.3 Limitations
The process only breaks long molecular chains into shorter ones, so small molecules such as carbon dioxide or methane cannot be converted to oil through this process. However, the methane in the feedstock is recovered and burned to heat the water that is an essential part of the process. In addition, the gas can be burned in a combined heat and power plant, consisting of a gas turbine which drives a generator to create electricity, and a heat exchanger to heat the process input water from the exhaust gas. The electricity can be sold to the power grid, for example under a Feed-in Tariff scheme. This also increases the overall efficiency of the process. Another option is to sell the methane product as biogas. For example, biogas can be compressed, much like natural gas, and used to power motor vehicles. Many agricultural and animal wastes
Page | 26
==> picture [117 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
could be processed, but many of these are already used as fertilizer, animal feed, and, in some cases, as feedstocks for paper mills or as boiler fuel. Energy crops constitute another potentially large feedstock for thermal depolymerization.
==> picture [415 x 303] intentionally omitted <==
The vast majority of waste oils in the United States are derived from a few major sources. They are:
-
(a) waste vegetable cooking oils (Yellow Grease) from deep frying and surface frying of food;
-
(b) waste vegetable oils (Brown Grease) pumped from underground grease interceptors that are in line connected to underground waste water systems;
-
(c) waste mineral oils from auto service companies, car dealers, truck service companies and in house fleet service centres.
The Biodiesel industry classifies its primary feedstocks by their Free Fatty Acid (FFA) content with (i) Refined oils, such as canola or soybean oil with FFA<1.5%; (ii) animal fats that have low free fatty acid FFA <5%; and (iii) Greases and animal fats that have high free fatty acid FFA ≥20%.

11. RISK FACTORS
11.1 Introduction
An investment in the Company is not risk free and prospective investors should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
The financial prospects of any organisation are also sensitive to the underlying nature of its business and the nature and extent of the risks to which the entity is exposed. The Directors are responsible for ensuring that appropriate policies and procedures are in place to identify and monitor the risks faced by the Company from time to time to ensure that such risks are managed within a level determined by the Directors to be prudent. In addition, there are a number of risks specific to the Company and the industry to which it operates.
A summary of the main risk factors relevant to the Company are set out below. The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
11.2 Viability of Business
As indicated earlier in this Prospectus, the Company has been placed into administration and is currently subject to deed of company arrangement.
This has largely come about due to the Company not being able to secure sufficient funding in order to finance its operations.
There is a risk that the new Directors will also not be able to develop the business into a viable model that is self sustaining.
11.3 Reinstatement to trading
The Company’s reinstatement to trading is subject to approval from the ASX. There is no guarantee that the ASX will grant this permission.
11.4 Specific Investment Risks
Specific risks impacting the Company and the value of the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus include:
11.4.1 Sector Risks
Potential investors should understand that investment in the renewable fuel development industry is a high-risk undertaking.
The Company operates in an industry characterised by dynamic economic change. Companies such as Solverdi seek to take advantage of competitive niches within this dynamic environment. The nature of the market is such that its characteristics can create uncertainty and risk.
The Company is also exposed to a number of other business risks which include higher than anticipated operating costs, an increase in competition or loss or damage to the Company’s assets, which may have a material adverse effect on the business and financial position of the Company.
Page | 40
==> picture [117 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
11.4.2 Insurance Risks
The Company intends to adequately insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.
Insurance of all risks associated with the renewable fuel industry is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.
11.4.3 Competition Risk
The industry in which the Company is involved is subject to domestic and global competition. The introduction of new competitors or a more aggressive competitive response from existing participants may affect the operating performance of the Company. Whilst the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, whose activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business.
11.4.4 Development Risks
Potential investors should understand there can be no assurance that the Company’s development activity, will result in a viable business. Even if an apparently viable business is identified, there can be no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
11.4.5 Commercialisation Risks
There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully commercialise its products or find viable markets to sell its products to customers to achieve a commercial return.
11.4.6 License Risks
The ability to utilise the Company’s Thermodepolymerisation Technology is dependent on the ability to acquire a patent license. The inability to acquire a license is likely to have a material and adverse effect on the Company, its financial performance and the price of its Shares.
11.4.7 Raw Material Risk
The cyclical nature of the various feedstock markets may lead to volatile changes in raw material prices which may adversely affect the earnings of the Company. The business may also be adversely affected by the reduced availability of low cost feedstocks and an upward pressure on feedstock prices reflecting increasing competition for feedstocks from other biodiesel producers, or prevailing environmental conditions. The business may also be affected if there are any shortages of supply of the raw materials required to manufacture biodiesel.
11.4.8 Product Risk
The renewable fuel industry requires the use of advanced and sophisticated technology, which is dynamic in nature and the technology being applied is
Page | 41
==> picture [117 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
constantly changing to meet the demand of the industry. A high level of attention and care must be taken during the manufacturing and shipping of the Company’s product to ensure that the product is not damaged.
11.4.9 Technology Risk
The technology applied to the renewable fuel industry is dynamic and constantly changing to adapt to the changes in demand and new developments in efficiencies. The development of such technology can be very costly requiring a significant amount human capital and funding. Shifts in the technology causing previous technology to be rendered redundant can have a substantial impact on the ability of the Company to generate further revenue and achieve new customer contracts. Any improvement in the technology also introduces other risks such as commercialisation risk which can also have a significant effect on the ability of the Company to contain its cost overheads and generate further revenue.
11.4.10 Intellectual Property Risks
The Company regards its trade secrets, know-how and similar intellectual property as critical to its success. The Company relies on trade secret protection to protect its intellectual property rights. While the Company will use all reasonable endeavours to protect these rights, the steps that the Company takes to protect its intellectual property rights may be inadequate. The unauthorised use or disclosure of its proprietary technology and systems may have adverse effects on the operation and financial performance of the Company.
11.4.11 Environmental Risks
The operations and proposed activities of the Company will be subject to relevant laws and regulations concerning the environment in the countries in which the Company operates. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all relevant environmental laws. Nevertheless, there are certain risks inherent in the Company’s activities which could subject the Company to extensive liability.
11.4.12 Counterparty Risk
The Company has entered into a number of commercial agreements with third parties. There is a risk that the counterparties may not meet their obligations under those agreements. Commercial consequences are likely to flow from any non-observance of commercial obligations.
11.5 Government Policies and Legislation
Revenue and expenditure of the Company may be affected by changes in international, federal, state or local government laws, regulations or policies, or in taxation legislation.
Government legislation and policies are subject to review and change from time to time. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of the Company and may affect industry profitability.
Page | 42
==> picture [117 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
11.6 Share Market
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(a) general economic outlook;
-
(b) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(c) currency fluctuations;
-
(d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(f) terrorism or other hostilities.
11.7 Uncertainty of Future Profitability
The Company’s ability to operate profitability in the future will depend on its ability to manage its costs, to execute its development and growth strategies, economic conditions in the markets the Company operates, competitive factors and regulatory developments. Accordingly, the extent of future profits, if any, and the time required to achieve a sustained profitability is uncertain. Moreover, the levels of such profitability cannot be predicted.
11.8 Transaction Specific Prospectus
Due to the Company previously being in administration, the Company has not lodged all of the periodic reports required by the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. In particular, the Company has not lodged its Half Yearly Financial Reports for the period ending 30 June 2010 and as not lodged its Annual Financial Report for the period ending 31 December 2009 by the required dates. The lodgement of these outstanding reports is a condition to the Company’s Shares being re-instated to trading on the ASX. The Company intends to lodge these outstanding reports as soon as practicable after completing the capital raisings under this Prospectus.
The Company’s failure to provide these periodic reports could result in the ASIC making an order that would prevent the Company issuing a transaction specific prospectus for a 12 month period. If such an order were made before the closing date of this Prospectus, the Company would be unable to proceed with this Prospectus in which case any applications will be dealt with in accordance with the Corporations Act.
11.9
Additional Requirements for Capital
The Company's capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company's ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised by the Offers. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and reduce its expansion programs as the case may be.
Page | 43
==> picture [117 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
11.10 Reliance on Key Personnel and Need to Attract Qualified Staff
The Company is dependent on its management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services could materially and adversely affect the Company and impede the achievements of its business objectives.
The Company's ability to sell its products and services will depend in part upon its ability to attract and retain suitably qualified management and technical personnel over time.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract or retain sufficiently qualified personnel on a timely basis or retain its key management personnel.
11.11
Currency Risk
Adverse movements in currency exchange rates have the potential to reduce the Company’s earnings. Securities in the Company are denominated in Australian dollars while the Company’s revenue may be denominated in other currencies as the Company may be selling products internationally. Accordingly, the Company’s earnings may be subject to fluctuations between the exchange rate of the Australian dollar and the relevant foreign currency. Such fluctuations may have an adverse effect on the value of the Company’s securities. Potential Acquisitions As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of or significant investments in complementary companies, products or technologies, although no such acquisitions or investments are currently planned. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products and technologies.
11.12 Potential Acquisitions
11.13 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 the Securities offered under this Prospectus.
Therefore, the Securities carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or market value.
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.

12. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
12.1 Continuous Disclosure Obligations
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in Section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of Section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.
This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms a “transaction specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:
-
(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
-
(b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in Section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
-
(c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:
-
(i) the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with the ASIC;
-
(ii) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with the ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred
Page | 45

12.2 Rights Attaching to Securities
12.2.1 Shares
The rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to Shares can be summarised as follows:
Page | 48
==> picture [117 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
(a) General Meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with Section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.
(b) Voting Rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:
-
(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
-
(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
(c) Dividend Rights
Subject to the rights of persons (if any) entitled to Shares with special rights to dividend the Directors may declare a final dividend out of profits in accordance with the Corporations Act and may authorise the payment or crediting by the Company to the Shareholders of such a dividend. The Directors may authorise the payment or crediting by the Company to the Shareholders of such interim dividends as appear to the Directors to be justified by the profits of the Company. Subject to the rights of persons (if any) entitled to shares with special rights as to dividend all dividends are to be declared and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares in respect of which the dividend is paid. Interest may not be paid by the Company in respect of any dividend, whether final or interim.
(d) Winding-Up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders. The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the
Page | 49
==> picture [117 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability. Where an order is made for the winding up of the Company or it is resolved by special resolution to wind up the Company, then on a distribution of assets to members, Shares classified by ASX as restricted securities at the time of the commencement of the winding up shall rank in priority after all other Shares.
(e)
Transfer of Shares
Generally, Shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.
(f)
Variation of Rights
Pursuant to Section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to shares.
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
12.2.2 Options
The material terms of the Options offered pursuant to the Proponent Offer are as follows:
-
(a) Each option ( Option ) entitles the holder to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company ( Share ) at an exercise price of 1 cent ( Exercise Price ).
-
(b) The Options are exercisable at any time on or before 5.00pm Western Standard Time on 31 December 2014 ( Expiry Date ). Options may only be exercised in multiples of 1,000. Any Options not exercised by the Expiry Date shall lapse.
-
(c) Options may not be exercised if the effect of such exercise and subsequent allotment of the Shares would be to create a holding of less than a marketable parcel of Shares unless the allottee is already a shareholder of the Company at the time of exercise.
-
(d) Exercise of the Option is effected by completing a notice of exercise of option and delivering it to the registered office of the Company together with payment of 1 cent per Option exercised.
-
(e) A notice of exercise is only effective when the Company has received the full amount of the Exercise Price in cash or cleared funds.
Page | 50
==> picture [117 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
-
(f) The Options are freely transferable, subject to any offer for sale of the Options complying with section 707 of the Corporations Act (if applicable).
-
(g) All Shares issued upon exercise of the Options and payment of the Exercise Price will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s then existing Shares. The Company will apply for Official Quotation by ASX of all Shares issued upon exercise of the Options within three days of the issue of the Shares.
-
(h) A certificate will not be issued for the Options and an uncertificated holding statement will be provided.
-
(i) There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new entitlement issues of capital offered to shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 6 business days after the Issue is announced. This will give the holders of Options the opportunity to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.
-
(j) If from time to time before the expiry of the Options the Company makes an issue of shares to the holders of ordinary shares by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (a "bonus issue") other than in lieu of a dividend payment, then upon exercise of a Option the Optionholder will be entitled to have issued to it (in addition to the shares which it is otherwise entitled to have issued to it upon such exercise) additional shares in the Company. The number of additional shares is the number of shares which would have been issued to it under that bonus issue ( bonus shares ) if on the date on which entitlements were calculated it had been registered as the holder of the number of shares which it would have been registered as holder if immediately before that date it had exercised its Options. The bonus shares will be paid up by the Company out of profits or reserves (as the case may be) in the same manner as was applied in relation to the bonus issue and upon issue will rank pari passu in all respects with the other shares allotted upon exercise of the Options.
-
(k) The period during which the Options may be exercised cannot be extended.
-
(l) In the event of any reconstruction, including a consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return of the issued capital of the Company prior to the Expiry Date, the number of Options which each holder is entitled or the Exercise Price of the Options or both will be reconstructed as appropriate in a manner which is in accordance with the Listing Rules and will not result in any benefits being conferred on Optionholders which are not conferred on shareholders, subject to such provision with respect to the rounding of entitlements as may be sanctioned by the meeting of shareholders approving the reconstruction of capital, but in all other respects the terms of exercise of the Options will remain unchanged. The rights of an Optionholder may be changed to comply with the Listing rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reconstruction.
-
(m) Shares allotted and issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be allotted and issued not more than 14 days after the receipt of a proper
Page | 51
==> picture [117 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
notice and payment of the exercise price in respect of the Options exercised.
(n) Other than as referred to above, an Option does not confer the right to a change in Exercise Price, or a change to the number of underlying securities over which it can be exercised.
