E XPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 10.00 am (EST) on 15[th] November 2012 at the offices of Laserbond Limited, Unit 2, 57 Anderson Road, Smeaton Grange NSW 2565.

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

1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATED TO UNDIRECTED PROXIES

If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the meeting as their Proxy and does not specify how the Chairman is to vote on a resolution, except as expressly stated, the Chairman advises that he intends to vote each proxy, as proxy for that Shareholder, in favour of the resolution.

In particular, if you elect the Chairman to vote on your behalf as proxy holder and you do not give directions about how your vote should be cast, then your proxy will automatically become a directed proxy in favour of the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report.

2. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.

In accordance with amendments to the Corporations Act the Company is no longer required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy. These amendments may result in reducing the Company’s printing costs.

Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company’s annual financial report on its website at www.laserbond.com.au.

3. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, the Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote on such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. Votes will not be cast by those members listed within the remuneration report or a closely related party of such member unless a Proxy appointing the member by writing directs them to do so and said Proxy is not cast by a member listed on the remuneration report or a closely related party

The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The remuneration report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2012.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

7

4. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR – MR GREGORY HOOPER

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that if the Company has three or more Directors, one third (or the number nearest one-third) of those Directors must retire at each annual general meeting, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

Mr Greg Hooper retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

5. RESOLUTION 3 – ELECTION OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR – MR PHILIP SURIANO

Clause 13.4 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.

Mr Philip Suriano will retire in accordance with clause 13.4 of the Constitution and being eligible seeks re-election.

6. RESOLUTION 4 – ELECTION OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR – MR TIMOTHY MCCAULEY

Clause 13.4 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.

Mr Timothy McCauley will retire in accordance with clause 13.4 of the Constitution and being eligible seeks re-election.

7. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF FULLY-PAID ORDINARY SHARES ISSUED BY WAY OF PLACEMENT IN THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS

In May 2012, the Company raised capital by way of a share placement.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing securities representing more than 15% of its issued in capital in any twelve month period without obtaining shareholder approval (subject to certain exceptions).

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of securities made without the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and shareholders subsequently approve the issue. A company can seek approval by shareholders of issues that have been made without approval within the twelve month period. The effect of such approval is that the issue of securities is deemed to have been made as if shareholder approval had been obtained, thus not counting towards the 15% limit.

This resolution seeks the approval by shareholders of the shares issued by way of placement. If the resolution is approved then those shares will be deemed to have been issued pursuant to shareholder approval and will therefore not be counted in determining the Company’s 15% placement capacity.

8

The following information is provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • a) the total number of securities issued was 9,100,000.

  • b) the shares were issued at price of $0.23 per share.

  • c) the shares were issued as fully-paid ordinary shares and rank equally with existing shares on issue.

  • d) the shares were issued to sophisticated or professional investors who were not related parties to the company or any of its subsidiaries.

  • e) The funds will be used for further growth initiatives, in particular acquisitions to extend the entities reach throughout Australia.

  • f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the notice.

8. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF FULLY-PAID ORDINARY SHARES ISSUED UPON CONVERSION OF UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES IN THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS

In April 2010 when the Company’s shares were trading on market at close to 7 cents per share, unsecured convertible notes were issued to provide additional working capital for the group. The repayment date of the notes was 30 June 2012. All note holders elected to convert to fully-paid ordinary shares in accordance with the unsecured convertible notes agreements.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing securities representing more than 15% of its issued in capital in any twelve month period without obtaining shareholder approval (subject to certain exceptions).

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of securities made without the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and shareholders subsequently approve the issue. A company can seek approval by shareholders of issues that have been made without approval within the twelve month period. The effect of such approval is that the issue of securities is deemed to have been made as if shareholder approval had been obtained, thus not counting towards the 15% limit.

This resolution seeks the ratification by shareholders of the shares issued upon conversion of the unsecured convertible notes. If the resolution is approved then those shares will be deemed to have been issued pursuant to shareholder approval and will therefore not be counted in determining the Company’s 15% placement capacity.

The following information is provided to shareholders for the purposes of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • a) the total number of securities issued in the last twelve months was 1,600,000.

  • b) the shares were issued at price of $0.15 per share, as per the unsecured convertible note agreements.

  • c) the shares were issued as fully-paid ordinary shares and rank equally with existing shares on issue.

  • d) the shares were issued to sophisticated or professional investors who were not related parties to the company or any of its subsidiaries.

  • e) the funds raised were used to provide additional working capital at the time of issue for earn out requirements related to the acquisition of Peachey’s Engineering Pty Ltd in November 2008.

  • f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

  • g) no convertible notes remain outstanding.

9. RESOLUTION 7 – RATIFICATION OF FULLY-PAID ORDINARY SHARES ISSUED THROUGH THE EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN IN THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS

The Company has established an employee share plan (ESP) in order to provide an incentive for staff retention and for employees to participate in the future growth of the Company. The ESP plan is administered in accordance with the ESP rules.

The ESP was originally approved by shareholders as part of the prospectus issued 25[th] September 2007. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9 provides shares issued through an employee incentive scheme to be exempt from ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if issued within three years from the last approval by shareholders. This resolution is seeked due to the fact shares issued under the ESP within the last twelve months do not fall under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9 due to the three years having elapsed.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing securities representing more than 15% of its issued in capital in any twelve month period without obtaining shareholder approval (subject to certain exceptions).

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of securities made without the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and shareholders subsequently approve the issue. A company can seek approval by shareholders of issues that have been made without approval within the twelve month period. The effect of such approval is that the issue of securities is deemed to have been made as if shareholder approval had been obtained, thus not counting towards the 15% limit.

This resolution seeks the ratification by shareholders of the shares issued through the employee share plan. If the resolution is approved then those shares will be deemed to have been issued pursuant to shareholder approval and will therefore not be counted in determining the Company’s 15% placement capacity.

The following information is provided to shareholders for the purposes of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • a) the total number of securities issued in the last twelve months was 104,764.

  • b) the shares were issued at price of $0.21 per share in November 2011.

  • c) the shares are issued to eligible persons as fully-paid ordinary shares and rank equally with existing shares on issue.

  • d) eligibility to participate is based on an employee being a full-time employee of the Company (or any of its 100% owned subsidiaries), the employee is an Australian resident for income tax purposes and the employees has been directly employed by the Company (or any of its 100% owned subsidiaries) for at least as period of 36 continuous months in a permanent position.

  • e) each eligible employee will be entitled to a maximum of $1,000 of fully-paid ordinary shares annually, with the number of shares calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s on the day each issue is formally passed by the Board.

  • f) shares issued are vested for a period of three years from date of issue, with one third released annually on each anniversary date of the Board approved issue date. If employment is ceased for any reason any shares still currently vested and not released will be forfeited by the employee.

  • g) no funds were raised from the issues under the ESP.

  • h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

10

10. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF AN ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT CAPACITY TO ISSUE SECURITIES EQUIVALENT TO AN ADDITIONAL 10%

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing equity securities representing more than 15% of its issued in capital in any twelve month period without obtaining shareholder approval (subject to certain exceptions).

However, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, a company can seek approval by shareholders to allow an additional capacity to issue securities over a twelve month period.

An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P / ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The company is an eligible entity.

This resolution seeks the approval by shareholders for the additional capacity to issue equity securities. If the resolution is approved then the Company within the twelve months after shareholder approval may issue an additional 10% equity securities calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which is as follows:

(A x D) – E where

A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the last 12 months under an exception ion Listing Rule 7.2;

plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 (This does not include an issue of fully-paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval);

less the number of fully-paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

D is 10%

E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

The following information is provided to shareholders for the purposes of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.3A:

  • a) the minimum price at which equity securities can be issued will be calculated in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3 which specifically states the issue price of each equity security must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for equity securities in that class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the price at which equity securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • if the equity securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the equity securities are issued.

  • b) if resolution 8 is approved by shareholders and the company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, existing shareholders voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below under point c). Their is a risk that:

  • The market price for the Company’s equity securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the equity securities than on the date of this approval under rule 7.1A; and

  • The equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s equity securities on the issue date or the equity securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,.

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.

11

  • c) The below table shows examples of possible dilution of existing shareholders, on the basis of the current market price of $0.18 per share and the current number of fully-paid ordinary shares on issue of 84,726,210 as at 8[th] October 2012

This table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.

  • The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • The table shows only the effect of issues of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • d) shareholder approval of the additional 10% as per ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained. This approval will cease on the earlier to occur of:

  • the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is gained; or

  • the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 ( a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • e) the Company may seek to issue the equity securities for the following purposes:

  • non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • cash consideration. As disclosed in recent ASX announcements and reports, the company is actively pursuing further growth opportunities, in particular acquisitions to extend the company’s reach into South Australia and / or Western Australia. Any funds raised using this additional 10% capacity may be used to fund acquisitions or investments necessary (including expenses associated with such acquisitions or investments) to grow the business and / or additional working capital to fund growth opportunities.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A (4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any equity securities.

12

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility.

The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including, but not limited to, the following:

  • the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • The effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;

  • the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • advice from corporate, financial and broker advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under this facility have not been determined as at the date of this notice but may include new or existing shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the company

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

  • f) the Company has not previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

  • RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL OF THE ISSUE OF SECURITIES UNDER AN EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SCHEME AS AN EXCEPTION TO ASX LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

As detailed under Resolution 7 above, the Company has established an employee share plan (ESP)in order to provide an incentive for staff retention and for employees to participate in the future growth of the Company. The ESP plan is administered in accordance with the ESP rules.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing securities representing more than 15% of its issued in capital in any twelve month period without obtaining shareholder approval (subject to certain exceptions).

Exception 9 of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 allows securities issued under an employee incentive scheme to be exempt from counting towards the 15% limit if shareholders have approved any issue under the scheme as an exception to this rule. This exception, if approved, is for a period of three years from date of approval. The ESP was originally approved by shareholders under Section 11.2 of the Prospectus dated September 2007. Therefore the ESP requires shareholder approval to continue to be exempt as per ASX Listing Rule 7.2.

This resolution seeks the approval by shareholders of the shares issued under the ESP. If the resolution is approved then those shares will be deemed to have been issued pursuant to shareholder approval and will therefore not be counted in determining the Company’s 15% placement capacity.
