Explanatory Statement
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Company’s Annual General Meeting.

Annual Financial Report
The Corporations Act requires the reports of the Directors and of the Company’s auditor and the annual financial report, including the financial statements, to be put before the Annual General Meeting and the Constitution provides for those reports and statements to be received and considered at the Annual General Meeting. Neither the Corporations Act nor the Constitution requires a vote of Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on the reports or statements. However, Shareholders will be given an opportunity to raise questions on the reports and statements at the Annual General Meeting.
Approval of Remuneration Report (Resolution 1)
The remuneration reports of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2010 is included in the Directors’ report in the Company’s annual report for the financial year ended 30 June 2010. The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the executive and non-executive Directors and executive employees of the Company.
Section 249L(2) of the Corporations Act requires a company to inform shareholders that a resolution on the remuneration report will be put at the Annual General Meeting. Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the vote. Resolution 4 seeks this approval.
However, in accordance with Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Shareholders should note that Resolution 4 is an “advisory only” Resolution which does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Following consideration of the remuneration reports, the Chairman, in accordance with Section 250SA of the Corporations Act, must give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the remuneration report.
Re-election of Directors (Resolutions 2 to 4)

Clause 19.3 of the Constitution requires that any Director appointed by the Board, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board, must retire at the next Annual General Meeting following his or her appointment, but is eligible for re-election at that Annual General Meeting.
Accordingly, as Mr Peter Christie, Mr Simon Lill and Mr Stephen Hewitt-Dutton have been appointed by the Board either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board, they each now retire, but being eligible, offer themselves for election as a Director.
