Foreign jurisdictions and restrictions on the distribution of this Prospectus

The offer contained in this Prospectus is only available for acceptance by Shareholders with a registered address as at the Record Date in Australia or New Zealand. The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe the requirements of these laws. Non‐ observance by such persons may violate securities laws. Any recipient of this Prospectus residing outside Australia and New Zealand should consult their professional advisors on requisite formalities. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such offer.

The Offer to New Zealand investors is a regulated offer made under Australian and New Zealand law. In Australia, this is Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act and the Corporations Regulations 2001. In New Zealand,

Page 1

Stratatel Limited – Prospectus

this is Part 5 of the Securities Act 1978 and the Securities (Mutual Recognition of Securities Offerings – Australia) Regulations 2008.

The Offer and the content of the Prospectus are principally governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. In the main, the Corporations Act sets out how the Offer must be made. There are differences in how securities are regulated under Australian law. The rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements available to New Zealand investors in Australian securities may differ from the rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements for New Zealand securities.

Both the Australian and New Zealand securities regulators have enforcement responsibilities in relation to the Offer. If you need to make a complaint about the Offer, please contact the Securities Commission, Wellington, New Zealand. The Australian and New Zealand regulators will work together to settle your complaint.

The taxation treatment of Australian securities is not the same as for New Zealand securities.

If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.

The Offer may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the securities is Australian dollars not New Zealand dollars. The value of the securities will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar. These changes may be significant. Any amounts paid in respect to you securities will be paid in Australian dollars. You may incur significant fees in having the funds credited to a bank account in New Zealand in New Zealand dollars.

As noted in the Prospectus at Section 4.12, the Company will apply to the ASX for quotation of the New Securities offered under this Prospectus. If quotation is granted, the New Securities offered under this Prospectus will be able to be traded on the ASX. If you wish to trade the securities through that market, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the securities on your behalf. As the ASX does not operate in New Zealand, the way in which the market operates, the regulation of participants in that market, and the information available to you about the securities and trading may differ from securities markets that operate in New Zealand.

The Offer has not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States and is not being made in the United States or to any person resident in the United States. Without limitation, neither this Prospectus nor the accompanying Acceptance Form may be sent to investors in the United States or otherwise distributed in the United States.

This Prospectus complies with Australian disclosure requirements. These disclosure requirements may be different from those applicable in other jurisdictions. The financial information included in this Prospectus was prepared with a view towards compliance with Australian practice and not that of any other jurisdiction.

Defined terms and abbreviations

Terms and abbreviations used in this Prospectus are defined in section 11 of this Prospectus.

2. CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

31 August 2009

Dear Shareholder

The Board is pleased to offer Shareholders the opportunity to participate in a 1 for 5 pro rata non‐ renounceable entitlements issue for New Shares with one attaching New Option for each New Share issued. The entitlements issue is fully underwritten by Max Capital Pty Ltd.

Each New Share will be issued at an issue price of $0.05 per New Share with one attaching New Option. Each New Option is exercisable at $0.10 on or before 5.00pm (WST) on 30 September 2011.

All Shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand at 5.00 (WST) on 9 September 2009 will be entitled to participate in the non‐renounceable entitlement issue offered under this Prospectus.

The Closing Date for acceptances is 5.00pm (WST) on 2 October 2009.

The Company will seek quotation of the New Shares and New Options on ASX within seven (7) days of the date of this Prospectus.

The Board recommends all Shareholders take up their Entitlements and advises that each of the Directors will take up their full Entitlements. Three of the Directors have also agreed to partially sub‐ underwrite the Offer, subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval for the sub‐ underwriting. This approval will be sought at a general meeting to be held on or about 2 October 2009.

Funds raised from the Offer will be used to execute major sales and marketing initiatives to accelerate revenue growth by the Company. One of the key focuses of Stratatel’s marketing drive will be the growth of the newly acquired Resource Systems business which is a long standing and well regarded IBM business partner in Western Australia. Stratatel plans to launch a national campaign to existing and new Stratatel customers for the provision of IBM software and IT services. This will involve hiring additional sales people dedicated to the sale of IBM software and Stratatel IT services as well as additional marketing and IT consulting staff.

The Directors have determined to pay a final unfranked dividend of 0.25 cents for the year ending 30 June 2009 to Shareholders registered as at 9 September 2009. Shareholders should note that the New Shares do not carry an entitlement to this dividend as it will only be paid in respect of Shares on issue as at 9 September 2009.

The Board takes this opportunity to thank all Shareholders for their support and looks forward to your continued support in the future.

Yours faithfully

Ian Macliver Chairman

Stratatel Limited – Prospectus

Further details in respect to actions required by Eligible Shareholders are outlined in section 5.

4.4 Non‐Renounceable Issue

4.5 Terms and Conditions of New Shares and New Options

The New Shares are fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with Shares currently on issue.

Each New Option issued will give the holder the right to subscribe for one Share at an exercise price of $0.10 per Share at any time up to 5.00pm (WST) on 30 September 2011.

4.6 No Minimum Subscription

There is no minimum subscription for the Offer.

4.7 Oversubscriptions

Oversubscriptions will not be accepted.

4.8 Underwriting

The Entitlement Issue is fully underwritten by Max Capital Pty Ltd ( Underwriter ). Refer to Section 9.1 for the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

4.9 Shortfall

The offer of the Shortfall is a separate offer pursuant to this Prospectus. The Directors reserve the right pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 3) to allot and issue any Shortfall to parties selected by them. As disclosed elsewhere in this Prospectus, the Offer is fully sub‐underwritten and the Directors in consultation with the Underwriter may place the Shortfall with Eligible Shareholders or other investors or the sub‐underwriters as they deem appropriate in their absolute discretion, on the basis of the available Shortfall and number of shortfall applications received. Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shortfall by applying for New Shares (and attaching New Options) in excess of their Entitlement as outlined in Section 5.5. There is no guarantee that Eligible Shareholders that subscribe for Additional New Securities will be allocated these securities. All Shortfall will be placed within 3 months of the Closing Date and will be issued on the same terms as are being offered to Eligible Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus.

4.10 Allocation and Allotment of New Shares and New Options

The Offer pursuant to this Prospectus may be accepted in whole or in part.

Page 7

Stratatel Limited – Prospectus

Subject to ASX granting approval for quotation of the New Shares and the New Options, the allotment of the New Shares and New Options will occur as soon as practicable after the Offer closes. All New Options will be granted on the terms and conditions outlined in Section 6.2. Statements of Shareholdings and Optionholdings will be dispatched as required by ASX.

4.11 Application Monies to be Held in Trust

The Application Monies for the New Shares and New Options to be issued pursuant to the Offer will be held in a separate bank account by the Company’s share registry on behalf of applicants until the New Shares and New Options are allotted. The Company will be entitled to retain any interest that accrues on this bank account.

4.12 Quotation of New Shares and New Options

The Company will apply to ASX for quotation of the New Shares and New Options within seven days after the date of this Prospectus. If an application for quotation of New Shares is not made within seven days after the date of this Prospectus, or ASX does not grant permission for official quotation of the New Shares and New Options within three months after the date of this Prospectus, applications will be dealt with in accordance with section 724 of the Corporations Act. No interest will be paid on any returned Application Money.

The fact that ASX may grant official quotation to the New Shares and the New Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Securities now offered for subscription.

4.13 CHESS and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company operates an electronic CHESS sub‐register and electronic issuer sponsored sub‐ register. These two sub‐registers make up the Company’s register of shares. The Company will not issue certificates to New Shareholders, rather, holding statements (similar to bank statements) will be dispatched to New Shareholders as soon as practicable after allotment. The statements will set out the number of New Securities allotted under the Prospectus and provide details of a Shareholder’s Holder Identification Number (HIN) (for New Shareholders who elect to hold New Securities on the CHESS sub‐register) or Security Reference Number (SRN) (for New Shareholders who elect to hold their New Securities on the issuer sponsored sub‐register).

4.14 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 are detailed in Section 7 of this Prospectus. The New Shares and New Options on offer under this Prospectus should be considered speculative.

4.15 Shareholders Outside Australia and New Zealand

(a) Payment by cheque, bank cheque or bank draft

If you are paying for your New Shares and attaching New Options by cheque, bank cheque or bank draft, complete and return the Acceptance Form with your payment. The Share Registry must receive your completed Acceptance Form together with full payment for the number of New Shares for which you are applying by no later than 5:00pm (WST) on the Closing Date.

DO NOT use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings. This can result in your Application Monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your shareholdings (with the result that any application in respect of your remaining shareholdings will not be recognised as valid).

You should be aware that your own financial institution may implement earlier cut‐off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.

The Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to Shareholders entitled to the dividend. The dividend shall (subject to any special rights or restrictions attaching to a class of shares in the Company created under any arrangement as to dividend) be payable on all Shares in accordance with the Corporations Act. The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders such interim dividends as they may determine. A determination by the Directors as to the amount of profits available for dividend shall be conclusive. No dividend shall carry interest as against Stratatel. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of Stratatel such amounts as they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of Stratatel may be properly applied.

Stratatel Limited – Prospectus

(d) Transfer of Shares

A Shareholder may transfer Shares by a proper transfer effected in accordance with any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by the ASX or the Corporations Act for the purpose of facilitating transfers in shares or by an instrument in writing in a form approved by the ASX or in any other usual form or in any form approved by the Board. The Board may refuse to register a transfer of Shares where the refusal to register the transfer is permitted under the Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules.

(e) Changes in Capital

The Directors may (subject to the restrictions imposed by the Constitution, ASX Listing Rules or the Corporations Act) issue further shares or options to acquire shares on such terms and conditions as they see fit.

(f) Variation of Rights

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class may be varied or cancelled with the consent of at least 75% of the votes of holders of shares in that class entitled to vote, unless otherwise provided by the Constitution or the terms of the shares of that class.

(g) Rights on Winding Up

Subject to any special or preferential rights attaching to any class or classes of shares in the Company, on a winding up of the Company a liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Shareholders, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company in proportion to the Shares held by them respectively. The liquidator may for that purpose set the value he or she considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders. The liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Shareholders, vest the whole or any part of the assets in trust for the benefit of Shareholders 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.

(h) Directors

The Board may decide the number of Directors but that number must be at least 3 Directors and not more than 10 Directors. A Director need not be a member of the Company.

(i) Alteration of Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution at the general meeting of the Company.

(j) ASX Listing Rules

Notwithstanding anything in the Constitution, if the ASX Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must not be done. Nothing in the Constitution prevents an act being done that the ASX Listing Rules require to be done. If the ASX Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be). If the ASX Listing Rules require the Constitution to contain a provision and it does not contain such a provision, the Constitution is deemed to contain that provision. If the ASX Listing Rules require the Constitution not to contain a provision and it contains such a

Page 14

Stratatel Limited – Prospectus

provision, the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision. If a provision of the Constitution is inconsistent with the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

6.2 Terms and Conditions of New Options

The terms and conditions of the New Options are as follows:

  • (a) each New Option entitles the holder, when exercised, to one (1) Share in the issued capital of the Company;

  • (b) a holding statement will be issued for the New Options;

  • (c) the Company will make an application to ASX for official quotation of the New Options;

  • (d) the exercise price of the New Options is $0.10 per New Option;

  • (e) the New Options will expire on 30 September 2011 (5pm WST);

  • (f) the New Options are transferable subject to the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules, the constitution of the Company and any other applicable laws;

  • (g) the New Options are exercisable by delivering to the registered office of the Company a notice in writing stating the intention of the option holder to exercise a specified number of New Options together with a cheque or electronic funds transfer for the exercise price for the number of New Options being exercised. The exercise of only a portion of the Option held does not affect the holder’s right to exercise the balance of any New Options remaining;

  • (h) all Shares issued upon exercise of the New Options will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s then issued Shares. The Company will apply for official quotation by ASX of all Shares issued upon exercise of the New Options within the timeframe prescribed by the ASX Listing Rules;

  • (i) there are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the New Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to shareholders of the Company during the currency of the New Options. However, the Company will ensure that, for the purpose of determining entitlements to any issue, Option holders will be notified of the proposed issue at least seven (7) business days before the record date of any proposed issue. This will give the Option holders the opportunity to exercise the New Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue;

  • (j) in the event of any reorganisation (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company prior to the expiry date of the New Options, all rights of the New Option holder will be varied in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules; and

  • (k) in the event of a pro rata issue or bonus issue of securities by the Company, the exercise price and the number of underlying securities over which the New Options may be exercised (as applicable) will be varied in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 6.22.

7. RISK FACTORS

7.1 Risks Associated with Investment

An investment in the Company is not risk free and investors should consider the risk factors described below, together with the information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for New Securities.

Prospective investors should be aware that the market price of the New Shares and attaching New Options following official quotation may be influenced by many unpredictable factors and that subscribing for New Shares and New Options involves various risks. The value of the Company’s securities on the ASX may rise and fall depending on a range of factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Company.

The New Shares and New Options being offered under this Prospectus are considered speculative due to the nature of the Company’s operations. This Prospectus carries no guarantee with respect to the return of capital or price at which the New Shares or New Options will trade.

The factors detailed below should be considered by any potential investors; however, this is by no means an exhaustive list of the risks that may affect the Company.

7.2 Technology

The inability of the Company to respond to technological changes in a timely manner may have an adverse effect on the revenues and earnings of the Company. Furthermore the requirement to change the Company’s systems in line with technological advances may have unforeseen and perhaps significant expenditure requirements.

The Directors believe that the Company is in a position to keep itself abreast of the major technological developments. However, it is difficult to predict which of these developments will have a major impact on the market. The Company has to decide and direct its resources accordingly. Some decisions with respect to the perceived significance of a new technology and its relevance to the market may be incorrect. If the Company does not direct its resources accordingly, the ability of the Company to compete in the future will be adversely affected.

The Company has procedures in place to ensure that all its IT solutions meet technical and operating specifications. A failure of one of the Company’s products to meet its technical and/or operating specifications resulting in the product failing to appropriately monitor client assets and expenses could result in customer dissatisfaction, loss of revenues and potential litigation

Additionally, the Company’s products rely on technology infrastructure of the network provider and internet service provider. If this infrastructure, being out of the control of the Company, is not maintained or upgraded as required the Company’s solution may be deemed faulty potentially resulting in dissatisfaction and loss of customers.

7.3 Intellectual Property

The industry in which the Company operates is characterised by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent new products. Accordingly the Company is endeavoring to protect all its intellectual property but may, from time to time, face challenges to its intellectual property rights which may in turn, adversely impact upon the Company’s financial performance.

Page 16

Stratatel Limited – Prospectus

7.4 Reliance on Key Personnel

The Company’s prospects in part depend on the ability of its executive officers and senior management to operate effectively, both independently and as a group. To manage its growth, Stratatel must attract and retain additional highly qualified management, technical, sales and marketing personnel and continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems. Appropriately qualified and trained senior management are also important to ensure appropriate levels of client service are maintained.

The loss of the services of certain management and technical personnel in the future would have an adverse effect on the financial performance of the Company and its operations. The inability to recruit and develop key employees would also have a negative impact on existing operations and future growth prospects of the Company.

While the Company has put in place employment agreements with its key employees, there is no guarantee that those key employees will remain with the Company.

7.5 Competition

The Company’s performance may be affected by the level of competition in the regions and sectors in which it operates. In the event that alternative competitive systems are developed and introduced to the market, the Company’s projected results may be adversely impacted by way of rendering costly research and development obsolete, decreasing the financial value of the products or research projects and reducing pricing and profit margins. There can be no assurance that Stratatel will always be able to compete effectively with other IT solutions businesses.

7.6 Company Growth and Acquisition Risk

The Company is seeking to grow its business both organically and through acquisitions. Stratatel recently acquired the business assets of Resource Systems Pty Ltd ( Resource Systems ), a leading IBM business partner in Western Australia and is proposing to undertake a major sales and marketing drive to grow this business. Stratatel also intends to leverage the Resource Systems IBM “business partner” certification to grow the business nationally. Stratatel is currently implementing procedures to ensure it will be re‐certified as an IBM business partner. The recertification is an ongoing process and there can be no assurance that all of the certifications will be obtained. Failure to obtain IBM business partner certifications may adversely impact the growth of the Resource Systems business.

Stratatel also intends to take advantage of potential synergies and cross marketing initiatives between the Company’s existing expense management division and Resource System’s business. There is a risk that these synergies may not eventuate and/or the expected growth from the Resource Systems business will be less pronounced that expected.

7.7 Significant Contracts

The Company has significant revenue generating alliance agreements with Optus Mobile Pty Ltd, Telstra Business Systems Pty Ltd and NEC Business Solutions Ltd. The Company has strong relationships with each of its alliance partners and service mutual customers through these agreements. Whilst the Company considers it unlikely to occur, in the event that one of these alliance agreements were terminated or not renewed it may have an adverse impact on the Company’s revenues and financial performance.

Page 17

Stratatel Limited – Prospectus

7.8 Future Capital Needs

The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors. The Directors expect that the Company will have sufficient capital resources to enable it to meet its current business objectives in the short term. Further funding may however be required to support future activities. There can be no assurance that, if required, the Company will be able to raise additional finance on favourable terms. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of opportunities or otherwise respond to competitive pressures.

Any additional equity raising may dilute interests of Shareholders and any debt financing, if available, may involve financial covenants which limit the Company’s operations. An inability to obtain finance will adversely affect the business and financial conditions of the Company and consequently its performance.

7.9 Insurance

Stratatel maintains adequate insurance over its operations within ranges of coverage that the Company believes to be consistent with industry practice and having regard to the nature of activities being conducted. However, the Company may not be insured against all risks either because appropriate cover is not available or because the Directors consider the required premiums to be excessive having regard to the benefits that would accrue.

7.10 Entitlement Issue Risk

Existing Shareholder’s interests will be diluted if they do not take up their Entitlements.

7.11 Changes to Laws and Regulations

The introduction of new policies, legislation or amendments to existing policies or legislation by governments or the interpretation of those laws could adversely affect the assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company.

7.12 General Economic Climate

General economic conditions in Australia and globally will have an impact on the operations of the Company and its share price performance. Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates, supply and demand of capital, industrial disruption, government policy and legislation have an impact on customer demand, operating costs, and stock market prices.

Stratatel’s Share price, operations, business and profitability can be affected by these factors, which are beyond the control of Stratatel and its Directors.

7.13 Share Market

There are general risks associated with any investment and the share market. The price of Shares may rise and fall depending on a range of factors beyond the Company’s control and which are unrelated to the Company’s financial performance. These factors may include movements on international share markets, interest rates and exchange rates, together with domestic and international economic conditions, inflation rates, commodity supply and demand, government taxation and royalties, war, global hostilities and acts of terrorism.

Page 18

Stratatel Limited – Prospectus

7.14 Other

Other risk factors include those normally found in conducting business, including litigation resulting from the breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise) or any other cause, loss of service of key management or operational personnel, non‐insurable risks, delay in resumption of activities after reinstatement following the occurrence of an insurable risk and other matters that may interfere with the business or trade of the Company.

The above risks should not be taken as exhaustive of the risks associated with an investment in Shares.

8.5 Effect of the Offer and the Underwriting on the control of the Company

The Offer is fully underwritten by Max Capital pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement between the Company and Max Capital. Max Capital is an entity controlled by Mr Ian Macliver, a Director of the Company. The Directors (other than Ian Macliver) are of the view that the Underwriting Agreement is on commercial arms length terms. The Directors consider that, having regard to all available alternatives, entering into the Underwriting Agreement with Max Capital provides the Company with the highest degree of certainty that the Offer will be successful, in the time available and in what has been, and continues to be, a volatile and difficult share market and general finance market.

Page 22

Stratatel Limited – Prospectus

Max Capital does not hold any securities in the Company. Max Capital has advised the Company that it has entered into general sub‐underwriting agreements for the entire Shortfall and will not therefore be subscribing for any of the Shortfall on its own account.

All of the Directors have agreed to take up their full Entitlement under the Offers. Messrs Michael Fairclough, Graham Baillie and Ian Macliver have also agreed to subscribe for additional Sub‐ underwriting Shares in the event of a Shortfall subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval for the issue of the Sub‐underwriting Shares. No sub‐underwriting fees will be paid to the Directors in respect of either their commitment to take up their full entitlement or to subscribe for additional Sub‐underwriting Shares.

Outlined below is a summary of the maximum increase in the Directors’ relevant interest in the capital of the Company in the event that no Shareholders other than the Directors take up their Entitlements and the Sub‐underwriting Directors are issued the maximum number of Sub‐ underwriting Shares pursuant to their general sub‐underwriting agreements.

9.9 Nature of this Prospectus

This Prospectus is issued under the special prospectus content rules for continuously quoted securities in section 713 of the Corporations Act. This enables listed disclosing entities, such as the Company, to issue a prospectus for continuously quoted securities with modified disclosure requirements if they satisfy certain requirements.

The 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 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. Shareholders should therefore also have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not invest.

9.10 Continuous Disclosure Obligations

This Prospectus is a document to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That section allows for the issue of a more concise document in relation to the offer of securities and financial products in classes of securities which have been continuously quoted by ASX for the three months prior to the date of the Prospectus.

The information in this Prospectus principally concerns the terms and conditions of the Offer necessary to make and informed assessment of the:

  • (a) effect of the Offer on the Company; and

Page 28

Stratatel Limited – Prospectus

  • (b) rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares and New Options.

This Prospectus contains information only to the extent to which it is reasonable for investors and their professional advisers to expect to find the information in it. It does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of shares.

The Company has, since listing, provided the ASX with a substantial amount of information regarding its activities. That information is publicly available. Shareholders and other investors should read this Prospectus in conjunction with that publicly available information before making an investment decision.

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 Shares. The Shares that will be issued under this Prospectus, and the Shares that will be issued upon the exercise of any New Options issued under this Prospectus, will be in the same class of Shares that have been granted official quotation by ASX during the three months prior to the issue of this Prospectus.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquiries as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of the ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the three months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify the ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of the ASX making that information available to the securities market conducted by the 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 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 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 ASIC; and

  • (ii) any continuous disclosure notices given by the Company after the lodgement of the annual financial report and before the lodgement of the copy of the Prospectus with ASIC.

The Company lodged its latest annual financial report with ASX on 28 August 2009. The following documents have been lodged with ASX since the date of lodgement of the Company's latest annual financial report:
