- the conduct of the audit in relation to the financial report.
All written questions must be received by the Company no later than five business days before 29 November 2005.
All questions must be sent to the Company and may not be sent direct to the auditor. The Company will then forward all questions to the auditor.

Shareholders are entitled to vote on the question whether the Remuneration Report as contained in the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2005 is to be adopted.
Shareholders should note that Resolution 1 is an "advisory only" resolution which does not bind the Company.
Following consideration of the Remuneration Report, the Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.
Resolution 2 Election of Director
In accordance with Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 13.2 of the Constitution, at every Annual General Meeting, one third of the Directors (or if the number of Directors is not a multiple of 3, then such number as is appropriate to ensure that no Director other than an alternate Director or the Managing Director holds office for more than 3 years) for the time being must retire from office by rotation and are eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire are those who have been in office for 3 years since their appointment or last re-appointment or who have been longest in office since their appointment or last re-appointment or, if the Directors have been in office for an equal length of time, by agreement.
These requirements for a Director to retire do not apply to a Managing Director (but if there is more than one Managing Director, only one is exempt from retirement).
In determining the number and identity of the Directors to retire by rotation, the Managing Director and any Director seeking election after appointment by the Board to fill a casual vacancy are not taken into account.
Mr Graham Dowland retires by rotation at this meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
