EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at the offices of Grant Thornton, Level 17, 383 Kent Street, Sydney at 10.00am (EST) on Tuesday, 23 June 2009.

This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information that the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – SELECTIVE BUY-BACK

1.1 Background

In December 2007, the Company entered into a share sale agreement ( Share Sale Agreement ) and a shareholders agreement ( Shareholders Agreement ) with PT Biodiesel Austindo ( BDAI ) and the then current holders of 100% of the shares in the capital of BDAI, Keven Parker, Colin Anderson and Devina Hakim ( Vendors ).

Pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire, and the Vendors agreed to sell, 50% of their shares in the capital of BDAI ( BDAI Shares ) in consideration for the issue to the Vendors of 20,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Jatoil ( Jatoil Shares ) ( Transaction ). The Jatoil Shares were issued and allotted as follows:

  • (a) Keven Parker received 9,000,000 Jatoil Shares, holding a 6.7% interest in the Company;

  • (b) Colin Anderson received 9,000,000 Jatoil Shares, holding a 6.7% interest in the Company; and

  • (c) Devina Hakim received 2,000,000 Jatoil Shares, holding a 1.49% interest in the Company.

The parties have since been in dispute regarding various operational and strategic aspects of BDAI and also certain aspects of the Share Sale Agreement and Shareholders Agreement ( Dispute ). The parties have now negotiated a settlement that envisages unwinding the Transaction executed under the Share Sale Agreement and terminating the Shareholders Agreement.

In order to unwind the Transaction and effect the reversal, the parties have negotiated a Deed of Settlement ( Settlement ). Under the proposed Settlement, it is intended that Jatoil will transfer back to the Vendors the BDAI Shares in the same proportions that those shares were acquired from the Vendors under the Share Sale Agreement and the Jatoil Shares will be bought back and then cancelled under a selective buy-back by the Company in accordance with Section 257D of the Corporations Act.

Under the Corporations Act, shareholder approval must be obtained by a company wishing to undertake a selective share-buy back. Therefore, the Company requires Shareholder approval in order to give effect to the terms of the Settlement and the buy-back of the Jatoil Shares issued to the Vendors.

As an aside, the Jatoil Shares are currently subject to an escrow period of 24 months. Under Chapter 9 of the ASX Listing Rules, ASX generally insists that

5

C:\Documents and Settings\manny\My Documents\JatOil\Notice of General Meeting BDAI June 2009 re FINAL.doc

escrowed securities are not to be dealt with during the escrow period. However in response to an application by the Company, ASX has granted the Company a waiver from the prohibition in ASX Listing Rule 9.7, to the extent necessary to permit the Company to amend the restriction agreements between each of the Vendors, and enable the Company to deal with the Jatoil Shares during the escrow period by way of a selective buy-back.

The grant of the waiver is however conditional upon Shareholders approving the selective buy-back accordance with Section 257D, the subject of this Resolution.

1.2 Corporations Act

The Corporations Act provides that the rules relating to share buy-backs are designed to protect the interests of shareholders and creditors by:

  • (a) addressing the risk of the transaction leading to the company’s solvency;

  • (b) seeking to ensure fairness between the shareholders of the company; and

  • (c) requiring the company to disclose all material information.

In particular, Section 257A of the Corporations Act requires that a company may buy back its own shares if:

  • (a) the buy-back does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors; and

  • (b) the company follows the procedures laid down in Division 2 of Part 2J.1 of the Corporations Act.

Pursuant to Section 257D(1) of the Corporations Act, a share buy-back must be approved by either:

  • (a) a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the Company, with no votes being cast in favour of the resolution by any person whose shares are to be bought back or by their associates; or

  • (b) a resolution agreed to, at a general meeting by all ordinary shareholders.

The phrase “no votes being cast” is intended to operate in a similar way to the way in which voting exclusion statements operate in the context of the ASX Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Section 257D(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must include with the Notice a statement setting out all information known to the Company that is material to the decision on how to vote on the resolution. However, the Company does not have to disclose information if it would be unreasonable to require the Company to do so because the Company had previously disclosed the information to shareholders.

6

C:\Documents and Settings\manny\My Documents\JatOil\Notice of General Meeting BDAI June 2009 re FINAL.doc

1.3 Summary of and effect of proposed selective buy-back

As outlined in this Explanatory Statement, the Company and Vendors intend to unwind the Transaction under the Share Sale Agreement and terminate the Shareholders Agreement. The company must obtain Shareholder approval for the selective buy-back contemplated by Resolution 1 as a condition precedent to Settlement.

The consideration for the selective buy-back is the transfer of the BDAI Shares to the Vendors in the same proportion as those shares were acquired from the Vendors under the Share Sale Agreement.

The overall effect on the Company of the selective buy-back of the Jatoil Shares held by the Vendors is as follows:

Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice
Less Jatoil Shares subject to selective buy-back and
cancellation
Shares on issue upon completion of selective buy-back
and cancellation
134,299,250
(20,000,000)
114,299,250

The Jatoil Shares the subject of the selective buy-back represents 14.89% of the issued Shares of the Company as at the date of this Notice. The selective buyback will have no effect on the control of the Company.

The selective buy-back will not have a material financial effect on the Company as no cash consideration will be payable directly to the Vendors as a result of the buy-back of the Jatoil Shares.

As disclosed in the Company’s Appendix 4D for the 6 months ended 31 December 2008, the Company has, as an asset on its balance sheet, a carrying value of $600,000 in relation to its investment in BDAI. The proposed reversal of the Transaction, will have a nil effect on the net assets of the Company as the decrease in the carrying value of the investment in BDAI ($600,000) will be offset by a corresponding decrease in the Company’s issued capital.

1.4 Advantages and disadvantages of the selective buy-back

The Board believes that the selective buy-back as proposed by Resolution 1 will provide the following advantages to Shareholders:

  • (a) the Dispute between the Company and the Vendors will be resolved, without significant detriment to the Company;

  • (b) the Company’s current cash reserves will be maintained as there will be no requirement for the Company to fund the ongoing obligations of BDAI;;

  • (c) over the last 12 months, the Company and its executives have expended a significant amount of time in seeking a resolution with BDAI and the Vendors. The termination of the Share Sale Agreement will increase the time available to the Company’s executives to pursue activities aimed at increasing shareholder value;

7

C:\Documents and Settings\manny\My Documents\JatOil\Notice of General Meeting BDAI June 2009 re FINAL.doc

  • (d) there will be a lesser number of Shares on issue, consequently the ownership interest in the Company of each Shareholder will increase; and

  • (e) given the termination of the Share Sale Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement between the Company and the Vendors it will remove the Vendors as significant Shareholders.

The Board believes the disadvantages to Shareholders of the selective buy-back include:

  • (a) the Company will forgo its equity interest in BDAI; and

  • (b) the Company has expended financial and human resources in pursuing and developing the business the subject of the transaction with BDAI and the Vendors. All of the financial resources expended will effectively be lost through unwinding the Transaction.

1.5 Trading price of Shares

The latest trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the date of this Notice was $0.042 on 12 May 2009.

1.6

Directors Recommendation

The Directors believe that the selective buy-back as proposed by Resolution 1 will not prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors because the Company is not providing any cash consideration for the selective buy-back and the Share Sale Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement giving rise to the issue of the Jatoil Shares will be terminated.

The Directors strongly recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution. The Directors confirm that they intend to vote in favour of Resolution 1. No Director has an interest in the selective buy-back of Shares other than as holders of securities in the Company.

1.7 Other Material Information

There is no information material to the making of a decision by a Shareholder whether or not to approve Resolution 1 being information that is known to any of the Directors and which has not been previously disclosed to Shareholders, other than as disclosed in this Explanatory Statement.

Pursuant to Section 257H(3) of the Corporations Act, immediately after the registration of the transfer to the Company of the Shares bought back from the Vendors, the Jatoil Shares will be cancelled.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – ISSUE OF DIRECTOR OPTIONS

2.1 General

On 15 September 2008, the Company announced the appointment of Dr Philip Hodgson as a director of the Company. On 2 February 2009, the Company appointed Dr Hodgson as its Chief Executive Officer.

The Company has adopted an incentive option scheme ( Scheme ). The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to grant Dr

8

C:\Documents and Settings\manny\My Documents\JatOil\Notice of General Meeting BDAI June 2009 re FINAL.doc

Hodgson 500,000 Director Options pursuant to the Scheme and on the terms and conditions set out below.

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

The grant of the Director Options to Dr Hodgson requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because this constitutes giving a financial benefit and as a Director, Dr Hodgson is a related party of the Company.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue the Director Options to Dr Hodgson.

2.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Director Options to Dr Hodgson:

  • (a) the related party is Dr Philip Hodgson, by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the nature of the financial benefit being provided to Dr Hodgson is the grant of 500,000 Director Options;

  • (c) the Director Options to be issued will be options to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, which if exercised, will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Director Options will be granted for nil cash consideration and accordingly, no funds will be raised;

  • (e) the terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (f) Director Options have been issued under the Scheme since its last approval to the following Directors of the Company:

9

C:\Documents and Settings\manny\My Documents\JatOil\Notice of General Meeting BDAI June 2009 re FINAL.doc

Director Number of Options Issue Price Exercise
Price
Dr
Michael
Taverner
1,500,000 Nil $0.20
Mr Ross Kestel 500,000 Nil $0.20
Mr
Tom
Hancock
500,000 Nil $0.20
  • (g) any person who is in the full-time or part-time employment of, or is a director of, or is a consultant to, the Company or any subsidiary (if any) is entitled to participate in the Scheme. As at the date of this Notice of General Meeting, all of the Directors, being Dr Michael Taverner, Mr Ross Kestel, Mr Tom Hancock and Dr Philip Hodgson are eligible to participate in the Scheme;

  • (h) the Director Options will be granted to Dr Hodgson no later than 12 months after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Director Options will be issued on one date;

  • (i) the value of the financial benefit provided to Dr Hodgson is $8,850, using the Black & Scholes valuation method and based upon the following assumptions:

  • (i) a valuation date of 12 May 2009;

  • (ii) an exercise price of $0.069 per option, which is equal to the Volume Weighted Average Share Price of the Company for the 30 days prior to the appointment of Dr Hodgson as a directors of the Company;

  • (iii) a current market price of $0.018 cents per Option;

  • (iv) underlying Share price of 0.042 cents per Option (based on the last trading price immediately preceding the date of this Notice);

  • (v) a risk free interest rate of 4.4% per annum; and

  • (vi) a volatility of 80%.

  • (j) Dr Hodgson currently holds no Shares or Options in the Company;

  • (k) As of the date of this Notice, Dr Hodgson’s remuneration is $216,000 per annum;

  • (l) if the Director Options granted to Dr Hodgson are exercised, a total of 500,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 134,299,250 to 134,799,250 (assuming that no other Options or Director Options are exercised and no other Shares issued or bought back pursuant to Resolution 1) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 0.4%.

10

C:\Documents and Settings\manny\My Documents\JatOil\Notice of General Meeting BDAI June 2009 re FINAL.doc

The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company;

  • (m) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting is set out below:
Price Date
Highest 11.5 cents 8 July 2008
Lowest 2 cents 6 March 2009 and 18 March
to 24 March 2009
Last 4.2 cents 12 May 2009
  • (n) the primary purpose of the grant of Director Options to Dr Hodgson is to provide a market linked incentive package in his capacity as a director of the Company and for the future performance by him in this role. The Board (other than Dr Hodgson) considered the extensive experience and reputation of Dr Hodgson within the energy and resources industry, the current market price of Shares and current market practices when determining the number and exercise price of the Director Options to be issued to Dr Hodgson. In addition, the Board considers the grant of the Director Options to Dr Hodgson to be reasonable, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves. The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (o) the Board acknowledges the issue of Director Options to Dr Hodgson is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. However, the Board considers the issue of Director Options to Dr Hodgson reasonable in the circumstances, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company, whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves; and

  • (p) Dr Philip Hodgson declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 2, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The Board (other than Dr Hodgson) is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of Director Options to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
