1.2 Overview of 3D Medical
(a) Background
3D Medical was incorporated in November 2013 with the clear focus of commercialising the greater application of data already being captured by diagnostic imaging (DI) service providers. 3D Medical understands that digital patient data is the foundation for a new era of more meaningful diagnostic and treatment aides, an expedited path to excellence for training medical and healthcare practitioners, greater efficacy and improved workflow for practitioners, in more meaningful patient communication and in personalised medical and
8
AR164626
healthcare solutions. In addition to the clinical data captured, 3D Medical has also identified an opportunity in management data analytics that leverages the information captured in systems broadly used in the DI sector.
3D Medical has identified the convergence in the capabilities of the technologies at the point of data capture, middle software where the required data is extracted, and the backend use and application of the data. Each layer of technology has now reached a level of sophistication and capability to be incorporated into a service that offers genuine benefits to the medical and healthcare sector and, most importantly, to the patient.
3D Medical was established with the explicit aim of quickly becoming the pre-eminent provider and facilitator for the take up and application of new technologies that put to greater use 3D volumetric patient data that improves patient outcomes as well as practitioner efficacy and workflow. This data is already being captured in 3D format but is currently often not put to any greater use than being interpreted or “viewed” in 2D.
3D Medical has launched with a two-pillar technology platform offer. There will be a particular focus on facilitating the availability to the broad medical and healthcare sector access to 3D printing technology and services. 3D Medical will provide specialised 3D printing services to the medical and healthcare sector with the focus being on printing patient specific anatomical models that provide a visual and functional aide to healthcare participants (clinicians, patients, researchers and hospital providers). 3D Medical will also make available and market 3D holographic projection workstations.
(b) 3D printing and holographic projection
3D Medical currently focuses its activities on the twin technology platforms of 3D printing and holographic projection.
3D printing creates physical three-dimensional models of a patient’s anatomical parts utilising the images and data already captured by conventional diagnostic imaging tools. The models are unique to the individual patient’s anatomy and can therefore act as a functional and visual aid in reviewing and understanding the complexities of a patient’s condition. This is particularly relevant in complex pre-surgical planning and patient communication. The application of 3D printing and its incorporation into best practice medical protocols offers clinicians, healthcare professionals, patients and researchers greater accuracy, effectiveness and efficiency in achieving improved patient outcomes.
Holographic projection is the second launch technology platform for 3D Medical. This technology has the potential to significantly alter the practice of medicine and will enhance efficacy and workflow at the practitioner level, accelerate the pathway to excellence in medical education and training and offer patients greater insight into their condition and ailment. 3D Medical seeks to become the pre-eminent company in identifying and facilitating the take up and application of technologies that apply the data already being captured by conventional diagnostic imaging in a greater and more meaningful way to achieve greater systemic efficiencies, improve practitioner effectiveness and achieve better patient outcomes.
3D Medical expects its revenue streams to come from marketing its technical expertise in 3D printing and from the distribution of holographic projection viewers to radiology providers and medical specialists such as cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology and orthopedics, areas of healthcare that currently receive medical data in 2D, even though it is captured in 3D.
The Australian medical and healthcare sector is extremely competitive and consequently Australian medical providers are early adopters of new medical technology and techniques
9
AR164626
to provide a superior customer (clinician, patient) experience that enables them to protect and grow market share and profitability. 3D Medical believes radiology providers in particular will be early adopters of the Company’s services so as to offer their referrers alternative methods of diagnosis delivery that provide superior healthcare outcomes for their patients.
(c) Financial History
3D Medical is essentially a start-up with limited trading history. Since incorporating in November 2013, 3D Medical’s activities have been aimed at commercializing the greater use and application of data already being captured by the diagnostic imaging sector, with an initial focus on several technology platforms.
Capital raised to date has been used to secure exclusive rights to novel image display technologies and the capability to deliver 3D printed anatomical models. In May 2014, 3D Medical entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with EchoPixel to secure the exclusive market and distribution rights for the EchoPixel t3D-Viewer in Australia and New Zealand. Likewise, in August 2014 3D Medical entered into a MOU with GestSure to exclusively market and distribute the GestSure System in Australia and New Zealand. In October 2014 3D Medical entered into a Heads of Agreement (HOA) to exclusively sell 3D Group's 3D printing services in the Australasian medical sector. In addition to that agreement 3D Medical has also entered into a sale and supply agreement with Capitol Health Ltd (ASX: CAJ) to provide 3D anatomical models. 3D Medical will launch this service in Q1 2015.
Given 3D Medical’s limited trading history and given that its business is largely unproven, it is difficult to make an evaluation of 3D Medical’s business or its prospects. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the acquisition of 3D Medical and the implementation of its business plans.
(d) Business Plan
Following completion of the Capital Raising, the Company will focus on growing 3D Medical’s business by fully commercialising 3D Medical’s products and by prioritising funds towards sales and marketing in accordance with the table set out in section 1.13. By commercializing 3D Medical’s product, the Company will endeavour to increase sales with a view to generating profits. In addition, the Company will consider opportunities for growth by entering into licensing and distribution agreements or acquisitions that compliment 3D Medical’s business.
1.3
Share Sale Agreement
On 6 October 2014, the Company, 3D Medical and the 3D Medical Vendors entered into the Share Sale Agreement. Subject to various conditions, the Company agreed to purchase 100% of the ordinary shares in 3D Medical, and the 3D Medical Vendors agreed to sell all of their ordinary shares in 3D Medical to the Company.

1.10 Relevant Interests and Voting Power
This section 1.10 sets out the effect of the issue of New Shares pursuant to Resolutions 3(a) and 4(a) (issue of consideration to 3D Medical Vendors) on Relevant Interests and Voting Power in relation to the Company.
(a) Identity of persons who will receive New Shares in the Company pursuant to Resolutions 3(a) and 4(a) and their Associates
If Resolutions 3(a) and 4(a) are passed (issue of consideration to the 3D Medical Vendors), both the Related 3D Medical Vendors and the Unrelated 3D Medical Vendors will receive the numbers of New Shares (and acquire a Relevant Interest in the number of New Shares) set out in Annexure A of this Explanatory Statement.
Each of the 3D Medical Vendors do not consider they will be Associates of one another after the New Shares have been issued to them, and therefore do not consider that their Voting Power in the Company will exceed 20% following completion of the Proposed Transaction. However, at the point in time when the New Shares are issued, upon completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, each of the 3D Medical Vendors will be considered Associates of one another as a consequence of their participating in the Proposed Transaction and agreeing to sell their shares in 3D Medical to the Company.
The following additional information is provided in relation to the 3D Medical Vendors:
(i) Frank Pertile
Mr Frank Pertile is a director of 3D Medical, and a Proposed Director of the Company.
14
AR164626
(ii) Perco Group Pty Ltd as trustee for the FSP Trust:
Mr Frank Pertile is a director of Perco Group Pty Ltd. Mr Frank Pertile is also a beneficiary of the FSP Trust, together with other family members. Mr Frank Pertile is a director and senior employee of 3D Medical, and a Proposed Director of the Company.
(iii) Olivab Pty Ltd as trustee for the Aboliv Discretionary Trust:
Mr Matthew Morgan is a director of Olivab Pty Ltd. Mr Matthew Morgan is also a beneficiary of the Aboliv Discretionary Trust, together with other family members. Mr Matthew Morgan is a director of 3D Medical, and a Proposed Director of the Company.
Each of the other 3D Medical Vendors are unrelated private investors in 3D Medical.
(b) Impact of the Proposed Transaction on the Voting Power in the Company’s Shares
(i) The Company’s capital structure
As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Company has 1,075,868,074 Existing Shares on issue, prior to the Consolidation.
Once the issue of securities as proposed in Resolutions 3(a), 4(a), 5, 0, 8 and 9 have been completed and New Shares are issued, the capital structure of the Company will consist of 351,336,807 New Shares (assuming $3,000,000 is raised under the Capital Raising) and 391,336,807 New Shares (assuming $5,000,000 is raised under the Capital Raising).
(ii) Current Voting Power of the 3D Medical Vendors
As at the date of the Notice of Meeting, the following 3D Medical Vendors have a Relevant Interest in Existing Shares:
| Vendor | Existing Shares |
Existing Voting Power |
|---|---|---|
| Perco Group Pty Ltd ATF FSP Trust |
10,000,000 | 0.93% |
| Mr Kyriakos Poutakidis | 5,000,000 | 0.46% |
| Dr Nigel Finch & Mrs Elizabeth Jane Finch |
500,000 | 0.05% |
| Giokir PtyLtd | 6,000,000 | 0.56% |
| Mr Jinesh Kiran Patel | 10,000,000 | 0.93% |
Except as disclosed above, none of the 3DM Vendors have any Relevant Interest in any Existing Shares. Accordingly, the 3D Medical Vendors combined Voting Power as at the date of the Notice of Meeting is 2.93%.
15
AR164626
- (iii) Relevant Interests and maximum Voting Power of the 3D Medical Vendors after the issue of the New Shares pursuant to Resolutions 3(a), 4(a), 5, 0, 8 and 9
Once all of the New Shares referred to in Resolutions 3(a), 4(a), 5, 0, 8 and 9 have been issued, the number of Shares in which the 3D Medical Vendors will have a Relevant Interest will be as set out in Annexure A.
The maximum Voting Power of the 3D Medical Vendors set out below is provided based on the Company achieving:
-
A. the minimum Capital Raising of $3,000,000;
-
B. the Company raising a maximum of $5,000,000;
Based on the Company achieving the minimum Capital Raising of $3,000,000, the 3D Medical Vendors would together hold a maximum Voting Power equal to 52.5% upon issue of the New Shares pursuant to Resolutions 3(a), 4(a), 5, 0, 8 and 9.
Based on the Company raising $5,000,000, the 3D Medical Vendors would together hold a maximum Voting Power equal to 47.2% upon issue of the New Shares pursuant to Resolutions 3(a), 4(a), 5, 0, 8 and 9.
These numbers and percentages also assume that the Company does not issue any other Shares to any person prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction.
1.11 Intentions as to the future of the Company
The Company understands that the present intentions of the 3D Medical Vendors regarding the future of the Company, if the Resolutions are approved by Shareholders, are that they:
-
(c) have no current intention of making any changes to the business of the Company following the acquisition of 3D Medical except as outlined in this Explanatory Statement or agreed to in the Company’s plans for the business following the acquisition of 3D Medical as set out in the Prospectus;
-
(d) do not propose to inject further capital into the Company;
-
(e) intend to change Company Secretary and providers of administration services to the Company (including the proposed changes to the Board, as described in section 1.3);
-
(f) do not propose that any assets be transferred from the Company to the 3D Medical Vendors or their Associates; and
-
(g) have no intention to otherwise re-deploy the fixed assets of the Company.
1.12 Financial and dividend policies of the Company
There is no immediate intention of the Existing Directors, the Proposed Directors or the 3D Medical Vendors to change the financial or dividend policies of the Company.
16

1.14 Risks – Change in Nature of Activities
Shareholders should be aware that if the Resolutions are approved, the Company will be changing the nature of its activities which will be subject to various risk factors. These risk factors are both specific to the commercialisation of 3D printing and holographic technology, and also relate to the general business and economic environment in which the Company will operate.
Shareholders should be aware that if the Resolutions are approved, the Company will be changing the nature and scale of its activities which will, because of its nature, be subject to various risk factors. These risks are both specific to the industry in which the Company operates and also relate to the general business and economic environment in which the Company will operate. An investment in the Company is not risk free and prospective new investors along with Existing Shareholders should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Notice of Meeting. The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company will be exposed to on the acquisition of 3D Medical.
Based on the information available, the principal risks facing the Company upon completion of the Proposed Transaction will be as follows:
(a) Commercialisation Risk
3D Medical is now in the process of commercialising its products, and will look to do this by commercialising and integrating its 3D printing and holographic projection technology into the Australian medical industry. There is a risk that 3D Medical will not be able to successfully sell its products, or be unable to attract sufficient customers to be sufficiently profitable to fund future operations.
(b) Competition and new technologies
The industry in which 3D Medical is involved is subject to increasing domestic and global competition which is fast-paced and fast-changing. While 3D Medical will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, 3D Medical will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, whose activities or actions may positively, or negatively affect the
17
AR164626
operating and financial performance of 3D Medical’s business. For instance, new technologies could overtake the advancements made by 3D Medical’s products. In that case, 3D Medical’s revenues and profitability could be adversely affected.
(c)
Special Reputational Risks
3D Medical operates in a fast-changing environment, and negative publicity can spread quickly, whether true or false. Negative comments by disgruntled customers about 3D Medical may have a disproportionate affect on 3D Medical’s reputation and its ability to earn revenues and profits. Additionally, complaints by such customers can lead to additional regulatory scrutiny and a consequential increase compliance burden in responding to regulatory inquiries. This could negatively impact on 3D Medical’s profitability.
(d) Limited Trading History
The business of 3D Medical is set to be launched in the first quarter of 2015. Further, 3D Medical’s efforts in the past have been significantly focused towards the acquisition of exclusive supply rights of its products and establishing the necessary resources to sell the products in the Australasian medical market. There is therefore uncertainty in relation to the business of 3D Medical and investors should consider 3D Medical’s prospects in light of its limited financial history. In addition, there is no guarantee that 3D Medical will be able to successfully commercialise its products and if it is unable to do so it will not be able to realise significant revenues in the future.
(e)
Reliance on Key Personnel
The recent development of the business of 3D Medical has been in large part due to the talent, effort, experience and leadership of 3D Medical Directors Frank Pertile, and more recently Matthew Morgan. Frank Pertile will continue as a non executive Director and Matthew Morgan will continue as a non executive Chairman. 3D Medical is currently recruiting appropriately qualified senior management to oversee the operations of the business and the launch of the 3D Medical product suite in Q1 2015.
There is no assurance that such personnel will be secured and the contracts on which they will be secured will not be terminated or will be renewed on the expiry of their term. In addition, there is no assurance that Messrs Pertile and Morgan, or intended senior management would remain healthy and able to continue in their current roles. If such contracts were terminated or breached, or if the relevant Director and employees were no longer to continue in their current roles, 3D Medical would need to employ alternative staff, and 3D Medical’s operations and business would be adversely affected.
(f)
Customer Service Risk
Customers may need to engage with 3D Medical’s customer service personnel in certain circumstances, such as if they have a question about the services or if there is a dispute between a customer and 3D Medical. 3D Medical needs to recruit and retain staff with interpersonal skills sufficient to respond appropriately to customer services requests. Poor customer service experiences may result in the loss of customers. If 3D Medical loses key customer service personnel, fails to provide adequate training and resources for customer service personnel, this could lead to adverse publicity, litigation, regulatory inquiries and/or a decrease in customers, all of which may negatively impact on 3D Medical’s revenue.
18
AR164626
(g) Risks Associated with the Regulatory Environment
3D Medical’s main operating entities are based in Australia and subject to Australian laws and regulations. For example, 3D Medical is required to comply with Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (Cth). Users, competitors, members of the general public or regulators could allege breaches of the legislation. This could result in remedial action or litigation, which could potentially lead to 3D Medical being required to pay compensation or a fine. 3D Medical’s operations may become subject to regulatory requirements, such as licensing and reporting obligations, which would increase the costs and resources associated with its regulatory compliance. Any such increase in the costs and resources associated with regulatory compliance could impact upon 3D Medical’s profitability. In addition, if regulators took the view that 3D Medical had failed to comply with regulatory requirements, this could lead to enforcement action resulting in public warnings, infringement notices or the imposition of a pecuniary penalty. This could lead to significant reputational damage to 3D Medical and consequent impact upon its revenue.
(h) Liquidity and Dilution Risk
There are currently 1,075,868,074 Shares on issue with between 17.1% and 25.6% of the total Shares on issue following requotation of the Company’s shares being offered to the public pursuant to the Prospectus. Upon requotation of the Company’s shares, a significant portion of the Shares on issue will be subject to escrow restrictions imposed by the Listing Rules. Some investors may consider that there is an increased liquidity risk as a large portion of the issued capital may not be able to be traded freely for a period of up to 24 months.
(i) Future Capital Needs
Further funding may be required by 3D Medical to support its ongoing activities and operations. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Any inability to obtain funding will adversely affect the business and financial condition of 3D Medical and consequently its performance.
(j) Liability Claims
3D Medical may be exposed to liability claims if its services are provided in fault and/or cause harm to its customers. As a result, 3D Medical may have to expend significant financial and managerial resources to defend against such claims. If a successful claim is made against 3D Medical, 3D Medical may be fined or sanctioned and its reputation and brand may be negatively impacted, which could materially and adversely affect its reputation, business prospects, financial condition and results of operation.
(k) Foreign Exchange Risks
3D Medical’s costs and expenses in the United States of America are in US$. Accordingly, the depreciation and/or the appreciation of the US$ relative to the Australian currency would result in a translation loss on consolidation which is taken directly to shareholder equity. Any depreciation of the US$ relative to the Australian currency may result in lower than anticipated revenue, profit and earning. 3D Medical will be affected on an ongoing basis by foreign exchange
19
AR164626
risks between the Australian dollar and the US$, and will have to monitor this risk on an ongoing basis.
(l)
Low Barriers to Entry
There are relatively low barriers to entry in the fields of 3D printing and the market is experiencing the emergence of providers of these services. Potential risks relate to other providers of these services operating on a lower cost basis placing pressure on 3D Medical’s prices.
(m)
Insurance Coverage
3D Medical faces various risks in connection with its business and may lack adequate insurance coverage or may not have the relevant insurance coverage. 3D Medical maintains insurance coverage for its employees (as required by law in Australia) as well as insurance coverage for management liability, corporate liability, employment practices liability, crime protection and statutory liability. However, 3D Medical does not maintain insurance against various other liabilities. If 3D Medical incurs substantial losses or liabilities and its insurance coverage is unavailable or inadequate to cover such losses or liabilities, its financials may be adversely affected.
2. General Meeting
2.1 Action to be taken by Shareholders
In order to proceed with the acquisition of 3D Medical, the Company must convene a general meeting of its Shareholders for the purpose of passing the Resolutions in compliance with the requirements of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
This Notice convening the General Meeting is included in the front of this booklet. Shareholders are encouraged to attend and vote in favour of each of the Resolutions to be put to the General Meeting.
If a Shareholder is unable to attend and vote at the General Meeting, the Shareholder is encouraged to complete the Proxy Form at the back of this booklet and return it to the Company by no later than 10.00am (WST) on 15 December 2014 2014.
2.2
Resolutions
There are 12 Resolutions to be put to the General Meeting, all of which are ordinary resolutions. Each Resolution relates to the acquisition of 3D Medical and is conditional on the passing of each of the other Resolutions so that the Resolutions will not have any effect unless all the Resolutions are passed. Accordingly, Shareholders should consider the Resolutions collectively, as well as individually.
Certain voting restrictions are imposed in relation to the Resolutions as detailed in the Notice under the “voting exclusion statement” section. This section 2 sets out a brief explanation of each Resolution.
A brief explanation of each Resolution is set out below in this section 2.
2.3
Resolution 1 – Capital Consolidation
Subject to the passing of Resolutions 2 to 12 (inclusive), Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution that proposes that the issued capital of the Company be altered by consolidating the Existing Shares on a 1 for 10 basis. The Record Date for determining the consolidation
20
AR164626
of capital will be six (6) Business Days after the date of the General Meeting at which the Resolution is passed. Any fractional entitlements as a result of holdings not being evenly divisible by 10 will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Section 254H of the Corporations Act
Section 254H of the Corporations Act enables a company to convert all of its ordinary securities into a smaller number of securities by a resolution passed at a general meeting. The conversion proposed by Resolution 1 is permitted under section 254H of the Corporations Act.
The consolidation will not result in any change to the substantive rights and obligations of Existing Shareholders of the Company. The purpose of the consolidation of the existing issued capital of the Company is to reduce the number of existing shares on issue, which is considered to be a more appropriate capital structure for the Company going forward, and to enable the Company to satisfy Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules and obtain requotation of the Shares on ASX. For example, a Shareholder currently holding 100,000 Shares in the Company will as a result of the consolidation hold 10,000 New Shares.
The Company’s balance sheet and tax position will remain unaltered as a result of the consolidation. However, the Company’s issued capital shall be reduced to 107,586,807 New Shares as a result of the consolidation as set out below.
(a) Shares
At the date of the Explanatory Statement, the Company has 1,075,868,074 Existing Shares on issue. The consolidation on a 1 for 10 basis will reduce the number of fully paid Shares on issue to 107,586,807.
(b)
Holding Statements
Following the Consolidation, all holding statements for Existing Shares will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Shares (on a post-Capital Consolidation basis).
After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Shares to be issued to Shareholders. It is the responsibility of each Shareholder to check the number of Shares held prior to disposal.
21
AR164626
(c) Timetable for Capital Consolidation
If Resolution 1 is passed, and Resolutions 2 to 12 (inclusive), the Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the following timetable (as set out in Appendix 7A, paragraph 5, of the Listing Rules):
| Event | Anticipated Date |
|---|---|
| Company notifies ASX that Shareholders have approved the Consolidation. |
17 December 2014 (Business Day 0) |
| Trading would normally commence in the reorganised Shares on a deferred settlement basis. |
19 December 2014 (Business Day 2) |
| Last day for the Company to register transfers on a pre- Consolidation basis. |
29 December 2014 (Business Day 6) |
| Securities registered on a post-Consolidation basis. | 30 December 2014 (Business Day 7) |
| Dispatch of new holding statements for consolidated shares. |
6 January 2015 (Business Day 11) |
The above dates are indicative only and are subject to change.
2.4 Resolution 2 – Change in nature and scale of activities of the Company
Subject to the passing of Resolution 1 and Resolutions 3(a) to 12 (inclusive), Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution which seeks approval for the change of the Company’s nature and scale of activities as a result of the acquisition of 3D Medical.
Listing Rule 11.1 provides that where an entity proposes to make a significant change, either directly or indirectly, to the nature and scale of its activities, it must provide full details to ASX as soon as practicable. Listing Rule 11.1.2 provides, that, if ASX requires, the entity must get the approval of Shareholders and must comply with any requirements of ASX in relation to the Notice of Meeting.
ASX has indicated to the Company that it has exercised its discretion to require the Company to seek the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 11.1.2 for a change in the nature of its activities. For this reason, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the Company to change the nature of its activities under Listing Rule 11.1.1.
As a consequence of the change to the Company's nature and scale of activities, it is required to recomply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules. Listing Rule 2.1 Condition 2 and Listing Rule 1.1 Condition 11 require that the offer price of securities, and exercise price of options, respectively, are a minimum of 20 cents. The Company applied to the ASX, and received, a waiver from Listing Rule 2.1 Condition 2 and Listing Rule 1.1 Condition 11 to allow the Company offer securities for 5 cents and for the exercise price of the Vendor Options to be 5 cents.
22
AR164626

(c)
Valuation of the financial benefits
The quantum of the benefit of the New Shares to be issued to the Related 3D Medical Vendors pursuant to Resolution 3(a) will depend in part on the price at which the Shares trade on ASX (assuming the Shares are re-instated to official quotation).
The value of the benefit of the Consideration Options to be issued to the Related 3D Medical Vendors pursuant to Resolution 3(b) is determined by the BlackScholes.

This value has been calculated based on the following assumptions and variables.
Assumptions:
-
(i) The Options can be exercised at any time during the period after the issue date.
-
(ii) There are no transaction costs, options and shares are infinitely divisible, and information is available to all without cost.

Listing Rule 10.11
Unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, Listing Rule 10.11 requires that an entity must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party of the Company unless it obtains prior Shareholder approval. Listing Rule 10.12 exception 6 provides that where a person is only a related party by reason of the transaction which is the reason for the issue of the securities and the application of section 228(6) of the Corporations Act, Listing Rule 10.11 shall not apply. The Related 3D Medical Vendors are only related parties of the Company by reason of the Proposed Transaction which is the reason for the issue of New Shares to them and the application of section 228(6) of the Corporations Act. As a result, Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is not required for the purposes of Resolutions 3(a) and 3(b).
Section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act
The Related 3D Medical Vendors do not consider they will be Associates of one another or the Unrelated 3D Medical Vendors after the Consideration Shares are issued to them pursuant to Resolution 3(a) and the Consideration Options are issued to them pursuant to Resolution 3(b), and therefore do not consider that their Voting Power in the Company will exceed 20% following completion of the Proposed Transaction. However, at the point in time when the Consideration Shares are issued pursuant to Resolution 3(a) and the Consideration Options are issued to them pursuant to Resolution 3(b), the Related 3D Medical Vendors may be considered Associates of one another and the Unrelated 3D Medical Vendors as a consequence of participating in the Proposed Transaction and agreeing to sell their shares in 3D Medical to the Company.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders under item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act for the purposes of section 606 of the Corporations Act because, at the time of issue of the Consideration Shares under Resolutions 3(a) and 6 and the Consideration Options under Resolution 3(b), the Related 3D Medical Vendors may be considered Associates of one another and the Unrelated 3D Medical Vendors and it is anticipated that they will hold Voting Power in the Company of approximately 52.5% (assuming $3,000,000 is raised under the Capital Raising) and 47.2% (assuming $5,000,000 is raised under the Capital Raising).
In accordance with Appendix 9B of the Listing Rules, some of the New Shares issued under Resolutions 3(a) and Consideration Options issued under Resolution 3(b) will be classified by the ASX as “restricted securities” and unable to be traded for periods of up to 24 months. It is expected that of the total 46,951,226 New Shares to be issued under Resolution 3(a) that 46,951,226 New Shares will be escrowed for a period of 24 months
26
AR164626
from the date of the Company’s re-quotation on ASX. It is expected that of the total 31,237,711 Consideration Options to be issued under Resolution 3(b) that 31,237,711 Consideration Options will be escrowed for a period of 24 months from the date of the Company’s re-quotation on ASX.

The Unrelated 3D Medical Vendors do not consider they will be Associates of one another or the Related 3D Medical Vendors after the Consideration Shares are issued to them pursuant to Resolution 4(a) and the Consideration Options are issued pursuant to Resolution 4(b), and therefore do not consider that their Voting Power in the Company will exceed 20% following completion of the Proposed Transaction. However, at the point in
28
AR164626
time when the Consideration Shares are issued pursuant to Resolution 4(a) and the Consideration, the Unrelated 3D Medical Vendors may be considered Associates of one another and the Related 3D Medical Vendors as a consequence of participating in the Proposed Transaction and agreeing to sell their shares in 3D Medical to the Company.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders under item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act for the purposes of section 606 of the Corporations Act because, at the time of issue of the Consideration Shares under Resolution 4(a) and the Consideration Options under Resolution 4(b), the Unrelated 3D Medical Vendors may be considered Associates of one another and the Related 3D Medical Vendors and it is anticipated that they will hold Voting Power in the Company of approximately 52.5% (assuming $3,000,000 is raised under the Capital Raising) and 47.2% (assuming $5,000,000 is raised under the Capital Raising).
In accordance with Appendix 9B of the Listing Rules, some of the New Shares issued under Resolution 4(a) and Consideration Options issued under Resolution 4(b) will be classified by the ASX as “restricted securities” and unable to be traded for periods of up to 24 months.

Section 208 of the Corporations Act
Section 208(1)(a) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from giving a financial benefit (including an issues of shares) to a related party of the company without the approval of shareholders by a resolution passed at a general meeting at which no votes are cast in relation to the resolution in respect of any shares held by the related party or by an associate of the related party.

The quantum of the benefit will depend in part on the price at which the Shares trade on ASX (assuming the Shares are re-instated to official quotation).

Please refer to section 3.5 for the Proposed Directors’ interests in the Company..

-
will raise up to $100,000 of the $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 being sought under the Company’s Capital Raising;
-
is fair and reasonable in the circumstances as it is on the same terms as the proposed issue of New Shares to non-related parties under the Capital Raising; and

(k) Other information
Other than as set out in this Explanatory Statement, there is no further information that is known to the Company or any of the Existing Directors which Shareholders would reasonably require in order to decide whether or not it is in the Company’s best interests to pass Resolution 6.

4.2
Listing Rule 11.1
Under Listing Rule 11.1, if a Company wishes to make a significant change to the nature or scale of its activities it must provide ASX full details regarding the change and if ASX requires, it must obtain Shareholder approval.
39
AR164626
ASX has informed the Company that the acquisition of 3D Medical constitutes a significant change in the nature and scale of activities of the Company and it requires the Company to:
-
(f) obtain Shareholder approval for the proposed change of activities; and
-
(g) re-comply with the requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 11.1.2 in relation to Resolution 1.
The acquisition of 3D Medical will result in a change to the nature of the Company’s activities from development of medical devices, namely the SecureTouch syringe, to the provision of 3D printing and holographic projection equipment and services to the medical industry. The Company will seek to relist on the ASX, and ASX has confirmed that it will require the Company to re-comply with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.
ASX may suspend quotation of the Shares until the Company has satisfied the requirements of Listing Rule 11.1. The Company will require a trading halt on the day of the General Meeting in respect of the approval of the Proposed Transaction. If Shareholders approve the Proposed Transaction by passing Resolutions 1 to 12 (inclusive), trading in the Company’s securities will be suspended until the Company satisfies the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules in accordance with Listing Rule 11.1.3. It is anticipated that the re-quotation of the Company’s securities will occur on or around 12 January 2015.
If all the Resolutions are approved and implemented, re-quotation of the Company on ASX will be subject to the Company meeting these requirements. The Company intends to meet these requirements as soon as practicable after the General Meeting. A copy of the Prospectus will be available to Existing Shareholders once lodged with ASIC.
If Shareholders reject the Resolutions or completion of the acquisition does not occur in accordance with the terms (including the approval of ASX for reinstatement of the Company’s securities to quotation), the Company will not issue the securities contemplated in the Resolutions.
Accordingly, Shareholders should carefully consider all of the information contained in this Explanatory Statement before making a decision as to whether to vote in favour of the change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities. In particular, Shareholders should carefully consider the advantages, disadvantages and risks of the proposed acquisition of 3D Medical set out in section 1.2.

References to notes in the table presented below refer to the notes to pro forma adjustments set out in this section.

The Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position is provided for illustrative purposes and is prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of applicable Australian Accounting Standards on the assumption that the proposed transaction occurred on 30 June 2014.
The Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position is presented in an abbreviated form insofar as it does not contain all of the disclosures, statements or comparative information as required by Australian Accounting Standards applicable to annual financial reports usually provided in an annual report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act.
The Company is the legal acquirer (i.e. the parent company) and will be the reporting entity of the Merged Group. The accounting policies of the Merged Group used in the compilation of the Pro Forma Financial Information are based on those of the Company. A summary of the significant accounting policies of the Company is disclosed in the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2014, available on ASX’s website at www.asx.com.au or on the “Investor Centre” section of the Company’s website at www.safemed.com.au.
Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the business purpose of the Company will have changed to that of the Merged Group resulting in the need to consider and/or adopt new accounting policies. Significant new accounting policies to be adopted by the Merged Group are outlined below.
No adjustments have been made in the Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position for any expected synergies or integration costs following the completion of the Proposed Transaction. Nor have any adjustments been made in the Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position for any one-off or nonrecurring costs, other than those set out in the pro forma adjustments.

New accounting policies of the Merged Group
1. Revenue recognition
Sale of goods and disposal of assets
Revenue from the sale of goods and disposal of other assets is recognised when the consolidated entity has passed control of the goods or other assets to the buyer, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and cessation of all involvement in those goods.
Rendering of services
Revenue recognition relating to the provision of services is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at reporting date and where outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable.

The Directors Safety Medical Products Limited Level 24, 44 St Georges Terrace PERTH WA 6000
Dear Directors
INDEPENDENT EXPERT’S REPORT
1. Introduction
On 19 June 2014, Safety Medical Products Limited (‘ SFP ’ or ‘ the Company ’) announced that it had entered into a Heads of Agreement (‘ HOA ’) to acquire all of the issued share capital of 3D Medical Limited (‘ 3D Medical ’), subject to a number of conditions precedent (‘ the Acquisition’ ). A formal Share Sale Agreement (‘ SSA ’) was executed on 6 October 2014, which replaced the HOA.
Under the terms of the SSA, the consideration payable by the Company for the Acquisition is (prior to capital consolidation):
-
1,750,000,000 fully paid ordinary consideration shares to the 3D Medical Shareholders (‘ 3D Medical Vendors’ or ‘ Vendors ’);
-
43,750,000 fully paid ordinary advisory shares;
-
72,945,060 consideration options (‘ Tranche 1 Consideration Options’ ) and 43,486,387 consideration options share (‘ Tranche 2 Consideration Options ’) exercisable at $0.05 per share, collectively referred to as ‘ Consideration Options ’; and
-
Cash payment of $100,000
Section 4 of our report details the conditions precedent to the Acquisition.
Completion of the Acquisition requires the approval of SFP’s shareholders. Shareholder approval pursuant to Section 611 Item 7 of the Corporations Act 2001(Cth) (the ‘Act’ ) is required for a person (including their associates) to acquire voting power in a company of greater than 20%. The Company is seeking shareholder approval for the Acquisition pursuant to Section 611 Item 7 of the Act as the Vendors are considered to be associates of one another for the purposes of completion of the Acquisition.
BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 27 124 031 045 AFS Licence No 316158 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO (Australia) Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO (Australia) Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation (other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees) in each State or Territory.

2. Summary and Opinion
2.1 Purpose of the report
The directors of SFP have requested that BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd (‘ BDO ’) prepare an independent expert’s report (‘ our Report ’) to express an opinion as to whether or not the Acquisition is fair and reasonable to the non associated shareholders of SFP (‘ Shareholders ’).
Our Report is prepared pursuant to section 611 of the Act and is to be included in the Explanatory Memorandum for SFP in order to assist the Shareholders in their decision whether to approve the Acquisition.
2.2 Approach
Our Report has been prepared having regard to Australian Securities and Investments Commission (‘ ASIC ’) Regulatory Guide 74 ‘Acquisitions Approved by Members’ ( ‘RG 74’ ) , Regulatory Guide 111 ‘Content of Expert’s Reports’ (‘ RG 111 ’) and Regulatory Guide 112 ‘Independence of Experts’ (‘ RG 112 ’).
In arriving at our opinion, we have assessed the terms of the Acquisition as outlined in the body of this report. We have considered:
-
How the value of a SFP share prior to the Acquisition on a controlling basis compares to the value of a SFP share following the Acquisition on a minority basis;
-
Other factors which we consider to be relevant to the Shareholders in their assessment of the Acquisition; and
-
The position of Shareholders should the Acquisition not proceed.
2.3 Opinion
We have considered the terms of the Acquisition as outlined in the body of this report and have concluded that the Acquisition is fair and reasonable to Shareholders.
In our opinion, the Acquisition is fair because the value of a SFP share following the Acquisition is greater than the value of a SFP share prior to the Acquisition.
We consider the Acquisition to be reasonable because the advantages of the Acquisition to Shareholders are greater than the disadvantages. In particular, the Acquisition will provide the Company with the opportunity to enter a growth industry and to potentially capitalise on 3D Medical’s expertise in diagnostic imaging services.

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
2.4 Fairness
In section 12 we determined that the value of a SFP share following the Acquisition on a minority interest basis is greater than the value of a SFP share prior to the Acquisition on a controlling basis. This has been determined on both an undiluted basis and diluted basis as detailed below:
| Ref | Low | Preferred | High | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | ||
| Value of a SFP share prior to the Acquisition on a | 10.3 | 0.0091 | 0.0091 | 0.0091 |
| controlling interest basis | ||||
| Value of a SFP share following the Acquisition on | 11.7 | 0.0090 | 0.0110 | 0.0129 |
| a minority interest basis (undiluted) | ||||
| Value of a SFP share following the Acquisition on | 11.8 | 0.0160 | 0.0175 | 0.0191 |

| $0.0050 | $0.0100 $0.0150 $0.0200 |
The above pricing indicates that, in the absence of any other relevant information, the Acquisition is fair for Shareholders.
We note that the value of a SFP share following the Acquisition on a diluted basis is greater than the value of a SFP share on an undiluted basis. The diluted scenario is dilutive to the existing Shareholders on a percentage held basis, but is not dilutive in terms of value. This is a result of the percentage increase in the value of SFP following the exercise of the options being greater than the percentage increase in number of shares and therefore the cash generated from the exercise of options more than offsets the dilution arising from the issue of shares.
2.5 Reasonableness
We have considered the analysis in section 13 of this report, in terms of both:
-
advantages and disadvantages of the Acquisition; and
-
other considerations, including the position of Shareholders if the Acquisition does not proceed and the consequences of not approving the Transaction.
3
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
In our opinion, the position of Shareholders if the Acquisition is approved is more advantageous than the position if the Acquisition is not approved. Accordingly, in the absence of any other relevant information, we believe that the Acquisition is reasonable for Shareholders.
The respective advantages and disadvantages considered are summarised below:
| ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES | ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Section | Advantages | Section | Disadvantages |
| 13.1.1 | The Acquisition is fair | 13.2.1 | Change in business model |
| 13.1.2 | Greater commercial opportunities | 13.2.2 | Dilution of existing Shareholder interests |
| 13.1.3 | Additional sources of financing | 13.2.3 | Absence of significant revenues |
| 13.2.4 | Competitive market |
Other key matters we have considered include:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| 13.3.1 | Alternative Proposals |
| 13.3.2 | Practical level of Control |
| 13.3.3 | Consequences of not approving the Acquisition |
3. Scope of the Report
3.1 Purpose of the Report
Section 606 of the Act expressly prohibits the acquisition of shares by a party if that acquisition will result in that person (or someone else) holding an interest in 20% or more of the issued shares of a public company, unless a full takeover offer is made to all shareholders.
As at the date of the report, the Vendors own 2.93% of the share capital of SFP. However, if the Acquisition is completed, the Vendors will receive approximately 179.4 million shares giving them a maximum interest of 52.5%, if a capital raise of $3 million is achieved (with an additional 2 million shares issued as a part of the capital raising to the Directors of 3D Medical).
Further, if the Company achieves a capital raise of $5 million, the Vendors’ interest would decline to 47.2%. Additionally, should the 116.43 million Consideration options be exercised, the 3D Medical Vendors would hold a minimum interest of 59.3% (based on a capital raise of $ 5 million) and a maximum interest of 64.3% (based on a capital raise of $ 3 million).
Although no individual Vendor is acquiring a relevant interest in the Company of greater than 20% as a result of the Acquisition, the Vendors are considered associates of each other and therefore they will be acquiring voting power in the Company of greater than 20% at completion of the Acquisition. The Company
4
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
is seeking shareholder approval for the Acquisition pursuant to Section 611 Item 7 of the Act, as the Vendors are considered to be associates of one another for the purposes of the completion of the Acquisition.
Section 611 permits such an acquisition if the shareholders of that entity have agreed to the issue of such shares. This agreement must be by resolution passed at a general meeting at which no votes are cast in favour of the resolution by any party who is associated with the party acquiring the shares, or by the party acquiring the shares. Section 611 states that shareholders of the company must be given all information that is material to the decision on how to vote at the meeting.
RG 74 states that the obligation to supply shareholders with all information that is material can be satisfied by the non-associated directors of SFP, by either:
-
undertaking a detailed examination of the Acquisition themselves, if they consider that they have sufficient expertise; or
-
by commissioning an Independent Expert's Report.
The directors of SFP have commissioned this Independent Expert's Report to satisfy this obligation.
3.2 Regulatory guidance
Neither the Listing Rules nor the Act defines the meaning of ‘fair and reasonable’. In determining whether the Acquisition is fair and reasonable, we have had regard to the views expressed by ASIC in RG 111. This regulatory guide provides guidance as to what matters an independent expert should consider to assist security holders to make informed decisions about transactions.
This regulatory guide suggests that where the transaction is a control transaction, the expert should focus on the substance of the control transaction rather than the legal mechanism to affect it. RG 111 suggests that where a transaction is a control transaction, it should be analysed on a basis consistent with a takeover bid.
In our opinion, the Acquisition is a control transaction as defined by RG 111 and we have therefore assessed the Acquisition as a control transaction to consider whether, in our opinion, it is fair and reasonable to Shareholders.
3.3 Adopted basis of evaluation
RG 111 states that a transaction is fair if the value of the offer price or consideration is greater than the value of the securities subject of the offer. This comparison should be made assuming a knowledgeable and willing, but not anxious, buyer and a knowledgeable and willing, but not anxious, seller acting at arm’s length. When considering the value of the securities subject of the offer in a control transaction, the expert should consider this value inclusive of a control premium. Further to this, RG 111 states that a transaction is reasonable if it is fair. It might also be reasonable if despite being ‘not fair’, the expert believes that there are sufficient reasons for security holders to accept the offer in the absence of any higher bid.
Having regard to the above, BDO has completed this comparison in two parts:
- A comparison between value of a SFP share prior to the Acquisition on a controlling interest basis and the value of a SFP share following the Acquisition on a minority interest basis (fairness – see Section 12 ‘Is the Acquisition Fair?’); and
5
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
- An investigation into other significant factors to which Shareholders might give consideration, prior to approving the resolution, after reference to the value derived above (reasonableness – see Section 13 ‘Is the Acquisition Reasonable?’).
This assignment is a Valuation Engagement as defined by Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board professional standard APES 225 ‘Valuation Services’ (‘ APES 225 ’).
A Valuation Engagement is defined by APES 225 as follows:
‘an Engagement or Assignment to perform a Valuation and provide a Valuation Report where the Valuer is free to employ the Valuation Approaches, Valuation Methods, and Valuation Procedures that a reasonable and informed third party would perform taking into consideration all the specific facts and circumstances of the Engagement or Assignment available to the Valuer at that time.’
This Valuation Engagement has been undertaken in accordance with the requirements set out in APES 225.

4. Outline of the Acquisition
4.1. The Proposal
On 19 June 2014, Safety Medical Products Limited (‘ SFP ’ or ‘ the Company ’) announced that it had entered into a Heads of Agreement (‘ HOA ’) to acquire all of the issued share capital of 3D Medical Limited (‘ 3D Medical ’), subject to a number of conditions precedent (‘ the Acquisition’ ). A formal Share Sale Agreement (‘ SSA’ ) was executed on 6 October 2014, which replaces the HOA.
Under the terms of the SSA, the consideration payable by the Company for the Acquisition is (prior to Capital consolidation):
-
1,750,000,000 fully paid ordinary Consideration shares to the 3D Medical Vendors;
-
43,750,000 fully paid ordinary Advisory shares;
-
116.43 million Consideration Options; and
-
Cash payment of $100,000
The SSA is subject to number of conditions precedent as follows:
-
3D Medical shall facilitate and SFP shall complete the Capital Raising (between $3 million and $5 million) subject to any conditions that the ASX may impose on the Capital Raising, including that Completion occurs under the Share Sale Agreement and that the shares to be issued and allotted pursuant to the Capital Raising are in accordance with the Corporations Act;
-
SFP and 3D Medical obtaining all required shareholder and regulatory approvals; and
-
SFP and 3D Medical completing their due diligence on the other, to their absolute satisfaction.
Following the Acquisition, 3D Medical will be entitled to nominate upto 3 people for appointment to the Board of SFP.
7
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
4.2. Shareholding in SFP following the Acquisition
The following table shows the minimum number of shares that may be issued to the Vendors if the Acquisition is approved. If the Acquisition is approved, the existing Shareholders’ interests may be diluted to 29.7%. We have considered that the capital consolidation would be approved by the shareholders, given that the resolutions forming a part of the Notice of meeting are inclusive and are subject to and conditional on each of those resolutions being passed (which includes a resolution for capital consolidation).
Further, it should be noted that Scenario 1 considers a minimum capital raise of $3 million and Scenario 2 considers a maximum capital raise of $5 million. The below table does not consider the impact of dilution with regard to issue of shares on exercise of 116.43 million Consideration options.

5. Profile of SFP
5.1 History
SFP is a company domiciled in Australia and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (‘ ASX’ ) on 30 November 2005. The Company is primarily involved in the research and development of medical syringe technology. In this regard, the Company has two ongoing patent applications in the USA and Australia as well as registered trademarks associated with the ‘ SecureTouch ’ syringe in Australia and New Zealand.
As a part of its recapitalisation and reinstatement to the ASX in 2011, a portion of the Company’s funds were allocated towards mineral exploration. These entailed costs incurred with regard to the proposed acquisition of tenements in the Three Rivers region of north Western Australia (via an option agreement) and in Brazil through the acquisition of Kisara Gold Pty Ltd (‘ Kisara’) and its wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary, Mineraco Caicara Ltda.
However, during FY13, the Company allowed its option to acquire tenements in the Three Rivers Area of north Western Australia to lapse, as it did not wish to proceed with the acquisition. Similarly, the Company decided to withdraw its agreement to acquire Kisara during FY14.
The Company’s current board members and senior management are shown below:
-
Mr Peter Christie – Director;
-
Mr Stephen Hewitt-Dutton – Director;
-
Mr Simon Jenkins – Director; and
-
Ms Deborah Ho – Company Secretary.

Source: SFP's audited financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 and the reviewed financial statements as at 31 December 2013
We note the following in relation to SFP’s recent financial position:
-
SFP’s auditor, Bentleys, included an emphasis of matter paragraph in their audit report for the year ended 30 June 2014, stating that there exists “a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Entity to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report”.
-
The increase in Cash and cash equivalents from $189k as at 31 December 2013 to $567k as at 30 June 2014 is attributable to the following capital raisings which were undertaken at $0.002 per share:
-
Issue of 74 million fully paid ordinary shares to Sophisticated and Professional Investors under a Tranche 1 Placement;
-
Issue of 176 million fully paid ordinary shares to Sophisticated and Professional Investors under a Tranche 2 placement; and
11
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
-
Issue of 110 million fully paid ordinary shares to enable the Company to advance loan funds as per the HOA to 3D Medical.
-
The Deferred Acquisition Costs as at 31 December 2013 represent the costs involved in evaluating potential mineral exploration assets. These costs are capitalised until a decision is made on whether the transaction will proceed. Given that the Company did not proceed with the acquisition of tenements in the Three Rivers Area of Western Australia, the costs previously capitalised, had been written off during FY13 (as discussed in section 5.3 below). Accordingly, the deferred acquisition costs as at 31 December 2013 are primarily in relation to the funds advanced towards the potential acquisition of Kisara.
The company withdrew from its agreement to acquire Kisara and accordingly, SFP capitalised the funds forwarded into equity in Kisara. Further, the Company held a general meeting on 17 February 2014, where the SFP shareholders approved a reduction in share capital, without cancelling any shares, by the distribution of shares in Kisara. Further, the deferred acquisition costs of $50,000 as at 30 June 2014 represent the non refundable payment due to 3D Medical, towards the repayment of transaction expenses associated with the latter’s terminated initial public offering (‘IPO’).
-
Trade payables as at 31 December 2013 of $220k included $148k received from Taylor Collison as part of a share placement amounting to $500k. The monies received were in respect of the issue of 74 million shares which were pending allotment as at 31 December 2013, and were issued subsequently on 3 January 2014.
-
The increase in issued share capital between 31 December 2013 and 30 June 2014 was primarily attributable to the capital raisings as discussed in Cash and cash equivalents above, adjusted for the reduction in share capital.

Source: Audited financial statements of SFP for the year ended 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2014
We note the following with regard to SFPs financial position for the 2 years ended 30 June 2014:
-
Per management, owing to the limited cash position of the company, expenditure towards consultancy and corporate advisory related fees has been kept to a minimum during FY14 as evidenced by the absence of any expenditure as compared to the corresponding amount of $223k incurred during FY13.
-
The Company terminated its proposed acquisition of tenements in the Three Rivers Area during FY13 and accordingly, wrote off the associated costs of $330k forming a part of the exploration expenses of $357k incurred during the year ended 30 June 2013.
-
The decline in legal fees during FY14 reflects the one off fees incurred during FY13 in relation to the Kisara acquisition, towards the drafting of the Share Sale Agreement.

As discussed in Section 6.2, there is no comparable information with regard to the operating performance of 3D Medical for the period ended 30 June 2013. Further, we note the following with regard to the income statement for the period ended 30 June 2014:
-
The Company entered into a MoU for the exclusive distribution and marketing of the EchoPixel holographic projector during May 2014 and was unable to commercialise the same for the year ended 30 June 2014. Accordingly, there are no significant sources of revenue as yet.

7. Economic analysis
Growth in the global economy is continuing at a moderate pace. China's growth has generally been in line with policymakers' objectives, though some data suggest a slowing in recent months. Weakening property markets present a challenge in the near term. Commodity prices in historical terms remain high, but some of those important to Australia have declined further in recent months.
Volatility in some financial markets has picked up in recent weeks. Overall, however, financial conditions remain very accommodative. Long-term interest rates and risk spreads remain very low. Markets still appear to be attaching a low probability to any rise in global interest rates or other adverse event over the period ahead.
In Australia, most data are consistent with moderate growth in the economy. Resources sector investment spending is starting to decline significantly, while some other areas of private demand are seeing expansion, at varying rates. Public spending is scheduled to be subdued. Overall, the Bank still expects growth to be a little below trend for the next several quarters.
Labour market data have been unusually volatile of late. The Bank's assessment remains that although some forward indicators of employment have been firming this year, the labour market has a degree of spare capacity and it will probably be some time yet before unemployment declines consistently. Growth in wages has declined noticeably and is expected to remain relatively modest over the period ahead, which should keep inflation consistent with the target even with lower levels of the exchange rate.
Monetary policy remains accommodative. Interest rates are very low and have continued to edge lower over recent months as competition to lend has increased. Investors continue to look for higher returns in response to low rates on safe instruments. Credit growth is moderate overall, but with a further pick-up in recent months in lending to investors in housing assets. Dwelling prices have continued to rise over recent months.
The exchange rate has declined recently, in large part reflecting the strengthening US dollar, but remains high by historical standards, particularly given the further declines in key commodity prices in recent months. It is offering less assistance than would normally be expected in achieving balanced growth in the economy.

8. Industry analysis
8.1 3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping Services Industry
The 3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping services industry has grown rapidly in recent years through technological developments, declining costs and new applications for 3D printing technology. The industry’s performance is linked to the manufacturing sector as most companies are increasingly 3D printing to create prototypes, which is an essential part of product development. The industry is dependent on the economy, given its close links to the manufacturing sector.
There has been an increasing demand for products of the industry in the medical arena, where they are used to create customised medical devices that replicate the human form more accurately. The products include hearing aids, dental implants, orthopaedics etc.
The primary drivers of the industry are:
-
Demand from medical device manufacturing : Medical device manufacturers use 3D printing services to create prosthetic devices such as limbs, teeth, artificial organs, blood vessels etc, demand for which is expected to increase in the near future.
-
Demand from manufacturing : Manufacturers in various fields such as aerospace, automobiles etc are using 3D printing services to create prototypes and other customised products for customers.
-
Changes in technology : The rapid technological developments that are taking place enable 3D printing to be used for a variety of applications, lowering the cost of using 3D printing services.
-
Growth in Research & Development (‘R&D’) expenditure : R&D expenditure drives demand for 3D printing services, because it is used to create prototypes, when developing new products.
-
Increased consumer spending : The increasing trend towards customisation of products and models is driving the demand for 3D printing. Growth in consumer spending would positively benefit the industry as consumers would also spend on customised 3D products.
In the US, the industry has witnessed an annual growth of 17.9% for the period 2009-14 with forecast growth rates of 13.3% during 2014-19. The industry is in the growth phase of its lifecycle, driven by companies such as 3D Systems Corporation and Stratasys Inc, which have approximately 18% and 8% of the market share respectively. These two companies cater to a number of industrial and commercial markets and the smaller players such as Shapeways, Applied Rapid Technologies, Ponoko etc are catering to niche consumer segments and primarily generate revenues from services to the general public such as enabling customers to design, price and order their own 3D products.
8.2 Specialist Medical Services in Australia
8.2.1 Overview
The Specialist Medical Services industry has witnessed strong growth over the past five years owing to strong government assistance and Australia’s ageing population. Industry revenue has grown at an estimated compound annual rate of 6.5% over the five years to 2013/14 and is forecast to increase to $11.9 billion in 2013/14, being an increase of 5.5% over 2012/13.
19
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
Industry demand has increased as Australia’s population has both grown and aged, given that older people use the services of specialists at a much higher rate than the younger population. Further, there is a trend of older people being more susceptible to chronic diseases or disorders such as cancer, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and arthritis. Additionally, technological developments such as robotic surgery has also driven revenue growth as patients have lesser concerns about surgery when there is greater precision involved.
Despite a lessening of government assistance, organic growth is forecast to result in revenue growth of 4.5% annualised over the next five years, to reach $14.9 billion in 2018/19.
The key drivers of the industry are:
-
Median age of the population : Older people tend to utilise a higher volume of specialist medical services per capita than younger people, due to higher incidences of age-related diseases and disorders.
-
Age profile of the female population : Women are a substantial market for specialist medical services such as gynaecology and obstetrics services during pregnancy. Accordingly, an increase in the percentage of women in the relevant age group would have a bearing on the growth prospects of the industry.
-
Federal assistance for Medicare : The federal government subsidises the services of specialist medical practitioners through Medicare. In 2013/14, an increase in federal funding for Medicare, due to indexation of schedule fees and coverage of a greater volume of consultations, contributed towards higher industry revenue.
-
Visits to a general practitioner : General practitioners often refer their patients to specialists for getting an expert opinion. An increase in total number of visits to general practitioners may result in a corresponding increase in demand for specialist medical services.
-
Growth of health insurance: An increase in the uptake of private health insurance can increase demand for private hospitals, which offer a greater range of specialists. Accordingly, this would result in a greater demand for specialist’s services, given that private health insurance generally covers such costs.
-
8.2.2 Current performance
The rising age profile of Australia’s population has led to chronic diseases and illnesses being increasingly attended to by specialists. The growth in demand has led to an increase in industry revenue given that the Federal Government is offering subsidies via Medicare coupled with the change in the revenue mix towards more expensive services.
The industry comprises of a number of specialised offerings, each of which have their own characteristics which are variably affected by changing economic conditions and demographics. The increase in the number of establishments has lagged growth in overall revenue. Consequently, there has been a steady increase in earnings per establishment, supported by strong demand. Further, an increase in demand has been serviced by a larger workforce, being largely administrative in nature. Additionally, the spurt in demand has enabled specialist clinics to charge higher prices and this additional revenue has been equally shared between profit and wages, resulting in an increase in profit margins.

8.2.3 Major markets
Individuals generally use a greater proportion of specialist services as they age, and therefore, patients seeking specialist medical services can be classified based on the relevant age groups to which they pertain. The graph below displays the major market segmentation for the industry during 2014.

8.2.4 Industry outlook
The Specialist Medical Services industry is expected to continue its good performance, given that the trends that contributed to industry growth over the past five years are expected to continue for the next five years. As Australia’s population continues to age, it will result in a greater proportion becoming dependent on specialist medical services, contributing to strong revenue growth. Additionally, continued support from the Federal Government through Medicare payments will suppress demand fluctuations arising on account of an increase in consultation fees. The industry is forecast to attain revenues of $14.9 billion in 2018/19 following compound annual growth of 4.5% over the following five years.
The significant threat that remains is the scheduled increase to the Extended Medicare Safety Net Threshold ( ‘EMSN’ ), which could transfer a substantial component of the cost burden onto patients and thereby, cause demand to decline.
The growth in the number of establishments is projected to continue at a slow pace owing to high barriers to entry arising from the educational and regulatory qualifications required to become a specialist medical services provider. Employment trends are expected to continue to grow and the average wage rate is also expected to increase following the expected rise in consultation prices. Additionally, profit margins are expected to remain stable over the next five years as the benefits of consolidation within the industry are offset by an increase in the EMSN threshold.

9. Valuation approach adopted
There are a number of methodologies which can be used to value a business or the shares in a company. The principal methodologies which can be used are as follows:
-
Capitalisation of future maintainable earnings (‘ FME ’)
-
Discounted cash flow (‘ DCF ’)
-
Quoted market price basis (‘ QMP ’)
-
Net asset value (‘ NAV ’)
-
Market based assessment
A summary of each of these methodologies is outlined in Appendix 2.
Different methodologies are appropriate in valuing particular companies, based on the individual circumstances of that company and available information.
9.1 Value of a SFP share prior to the Acquisition
In our assessment of the value of SFP shares, we have chosen to employ the following methodologies:
-
NAV as our primary methodology; and
-
QMP as a secondary methodology
We have chosen these methodologies for the following reasons:
-
The FME approach is not considered appropriate as the Company has been operating at a loss from continuing operations in the last three financial years, meaning that we do not have reasonable grounds on which to base a forecast future maintainable earnings figure.
-
The QMP basis is a relevant methodology to consider as SFP’s shares are listed on the ASX. This means there is a regulated and observable market share where SFP’s shares can be traded. However, in order for the QMP methodology to be considered appropriate, the Company’s shares should be liquid and the market should be fully informed as to SFP’s activities. We have considered these factors in section 10.2 of our Report.
-
The DCF approach has not been considered as the Company has not provided us with suitable or extended forecast cash flows.
-
We also consider the NAV methodology to be an appropriate valuation approach to undertake.
-
It should be noted that asset based methods ignore the possibility that the entity’s value could exceed the realisable value of its assets as they do not recognise the value of intangible assets such as management, intellectual property and goodwill. This is particularly significant if the growth potential of a company is substantial.
-
Alternatively, if the company is making losses and earnings are deteriorating, asset based methods ignore the deteriorating financial performance of a company, which may result in the entity’s value trading below the realisable value of its assets.
9.2 Value of a SFP share following the Acquisition
In our assessment of the value of a SFP share following the Acquisition, we have chosen to employ the following methodology:
- Sum-of-parts as our primary methodology
22
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
The value of SFP shares following the Acquisition involves the sum of the following items:
-
The value of SFP prior to the Acquisition;
-
The value of 3D Medical;
-
In our valuation of 3D Medical we have considered the NAV methodology. We have disregarded the FME, QMP and DCF methodologies as a result of the following:
-
The FME approach is not considered appropriate as 3D Medical is currently loss making and has been operational for less than a year, meaning that we do not have reasonable grounds on which to base a forecast future maintainable earnings figure;
-
3D Medical is a privately owned company which means there is no regulated and observable market where 3D Medical’s shares can be traded; and
-
The DCF approach is an appropriate methodology to use for businesses with limited lives, experiencing growth, that are in a start up phase, or experience irregular cash flows, such as 3D Medical which was incorporated in November 2013. However, under RG111 and RG170, certain requirements must be met in relation to the inclusion of prospective financial information, and therefore we are unable to value 3D Medical using this methodology as we do not have reasonable grounds to support the assumptions and cash flows in the forecast.
-
-
The number of shares on issue following the Acquisition will include the issue of shares to the Vendors as consideration for the Acquisition, facilitation shares to be issued to the Advisors, the consideration options to be issued to the Vendors and the issue of shares pursuant to the capital raising.
-
A minority discount is applied to the net asset value to arrive at the value of a SFP share following the Acquisition on a minority interest basis.
-
We have assessed the value of a SFP share following the Acquisition on both an undiluted and diluted basis. The undiluted basis assumes that the Consideration options to be issued to the Vendors are not exercised. The valuation on a diluted basis assumes that the Consideration options are exercised.

There have not been significant changes in the net assets of SFP since 30 June 2014, other than those noted below.
Note 1: Cash and cash equivalents
The cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2014 does not reflect the cash inflows arising from the issue of 220 million shares as part of a Share Purchase Plan which was completed on 21 July 2014, the subsequent outflows in the nature of a working capital loan to 3D Medical (discussed in Note 2 below) and also the cost repayment forming a part of the purchase consideration for the Acquisition (discussed in Note 3 below). The table below sets out the adjusted cash balance:
24
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
Cash assets $ Cash balance at 30 June 2014 566,836 Add: Cash inflow from issue of 220 million shares under a Share Purchase Plan 440,000 Less: Cash outflow from grant of interest free loan to 3D Medical (510,000) Less: Cash outflow to 3D Medical as part of the purchase consideration (100,000) Adjusted Cash balance 396,836
Note 2: Unsecured loan granted to 3D Medical
On 17 August 2014, the Company entered into a loan agreement amounting to $510,000 with 3D Medical for meeting its working capital requirements, which is interest free and repayable if the Acquisition does not proceed for any other reason, other than the SSA being terminated as a result of a breach by SFP.
Note 3: Deferred Acquisition costs
As part of the purchase consideration for the proposed acquisition, SFP has agreed to pay an amount of $100,000 towards the repayment of transaction expenses associated with the 3D Medical IPO, which was terminated.
10.2 Quoted Market Prices for SFP Securities
To provide a comparison to the valuation of SFP in Section 10.1, we have also assessed the quoted market price for a SFP share.
The quoted market value of a company’s shares is reflective of a minority interest. A minority interest is an interest in a company that is not significant enough for the holder to have an individual influence in the operations and value of that company.
RG 111.11 suggests that when considering the value of a company’s shares for the purposes of approval under Item 7 of s611, the expert should consider a premium for control. An acquirer could be expected to pay a premium for control due to the advantages they will receive should they obtain 100% control of another company. These advantages include the following:
-
control over decision making and strategic direction;
-
access to underlying cash flows;
-
control over dividend policies; and
-
access to potential tax losses.
Whilst the Vendors will not be obtaining 100% of SFP, RG 111 states that the expert should calculate the value of a target’s shares as if 100% control were being obtained. RG 111.13 states that the expert can then consider an acquirer’s practical level of control when considering reasonableness. Reasonableness has been considered in Section 13.
Therefore, our calculation of the quoted market price of a SFP share including a premium for control has been prepared in two parts. The first part is to calculate the quoted market price on a minority interest basis. The second part is to add a premium for control to the minority interest value to arrive at a quoted market price value that includes a premium for control.
25
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
Minority interest value
Our analysis of the quoted market price of a SFP share is based on the pricing prior to the announcement of the Acquisition. This is because; the value of a SFP share after the announcement may include the effects of any change in value as a result of the Acquisition. However, we have considered the value of a SFP share following the announcement when we have considered reasonableness in Section 13.
Information on the Acquisition was announced to the market on 23 June 2014; however, the Company’s shares were placed into a trading halt on 18 June 2014 pending this initial announcement. Therefore, the following chart provides a summary of the share price movement over the 12 months to 17 June 2014, which was the last trading day prior to the announcement.

The daily price of SFP shares from 18 June 2013 to 17 June 2014 has ranged from a low of $0.001 on 19 June 2013 to a high of $0.005 on 8 July 2013.
There was a spike in trading volumes on 29 May 2014, with approximately 6 million shares traded, representing 0.56% of the Company’s current issued capital. The share price around this time was $0.002 and has remained stable at the same price thereafter. There were no Company announcements made during the period, and therefore, we consider this an unexplained spike in trading volume.
26

During this period a number of announcements were made to the market. The key announcements are set out below:

The significant movement in share price, post announcement of the half yearly performance for the year ended 31 December 2013, was primarily attributable to the decision of the Company to terminate its proposed acquisition of Kisara and the capitalisation of funds forwarded as part of its original agreement into equity in Kisara. Additionally, the Company was also able to successfully raise $500,000 by way of issue of 250 million shares to Taylor Collison as part of a capital assistance scheme.
To provide further analysis of the market prices for a SFP share, we have also considered the weighted average market price for 10, 30, 60 and 90 day periods to 17 June 2014.
| Share Price per unit | 17-Jun-14 | 10 Days | 30 Days | 60 Days | 90 Days | ||||||

$0.002 | $0.002 | $0.002 | $0.002 |

The above weighted average prices are prior to the date of the announcement of the Acquisition, to avoid the influence of any increase in price of SFP shares that has occurred since the Acquisition was announced.

An analysis of the volume of trading in SFP shares for the twelve months to 17 June 2014 is set out below:
| Cumulative | ||||

| 1 Year | $0.001 | $0.005 | 57,646,062 | 5.36% |
Source: Bloomberg, BDO analysis
This table indicates that SFP’s shares display a low level of liquidity, with 5.36% of the Company’s current issued capital being traded in a twelve month period. For the quoted market price methodology to be reliable there needs to be a ‘deep’ market in the shares. RG 111.69 indicates that a ‘deep’ market should reflect a liquid and active market. We consider the following characteristics to be representative of a deep market:
-
Regular trading in a company’s securities;
-
Approximately 1% of a company’s securities are traded on a weekly basis;
-
The spread of a company’s shares must not be so great that a single minority trade can significantly affect the market capitalisation of a company; and
-
There are no significant but unexplained movements in share price.
A company’s shares should meet all of the above criteria to be considered ‘deep’, however, failure of a company’s securities to exhibit all of the above characteristics does not necessarily mean that the value of its shares cannot be considered relevant.
In the case of SFP, we do not consider there to be a deep market for the Company’s shares, with only 5.36% of the current issued capital traded on a twelve month period. The assessment is also based on the significant and unexplained volume movements that occurred on 29 May 2014, wherein the volume of shares traded spiked to 6 million shares.
Our assessment is that a range of values for SFP shares based on market pricing, after disregarding post announcement pricing, is between $0.001 and $0.002.

Control Premium
We have reviewed the control premiums paid by acquirers of companies listed on the ASX. We have summarised our findings below:
| Number of | Average Deal Value | Average Control Premium | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year | Transactions | (AU$m) | (%) |
| 2014 | 1 | 583.15 | 31.78 |
| 2013 | 36 | 143.63 | 50.86 |
| 2012 | 48 | 364.43 | 41.32 |
| 2011 | 64 | 799.28 | 45.07 |
| 2010 | 63 | 794.58 | 40.23 |
| 2009 | 61 | 328.42 | 44.87 |
| 2008 | 39 | 827.80 | 40.83 |
| 2007 | 81 | 1045.80 | 22.20 |
| 2006 | 90 | 688.47 | 25.12 |
| Mean | 619.51 | 38.03 | |
| Median | 688.47 | 40.83 |
Source: Bloomberg & BDO Analysis
In arriving at an appropriate control premium to apply, we note that observed control premiums can vary due to the:
-
Nature and magnitude of non-operating assets;
-
Nature and magnitude of discretionary expenses;
-
Perceived quality of existing management;
-
Nature and magnitude of business opportunities not currently being exploited;
-
Ability to integrate the acquiree into the acquirer’s business;
-
Level of pre-announcement speculation of the transaction; and
-
Level of liquidity in the trade of the acquiree’s securities.
The table above indicates that the long term average control premium paid for ASX-listed companies is in the order of 30% to 40%. However, given that SFP has been historically loss making and given the lack of liquidity for the Company’s shares, we consider an appropriate control premium to be in the range of 25% to 35%.
29
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
Quoted market price including control premium
Applying a control premium to SFP’s quoted market share price results in the following quoted market price value including a premium for control:
| Low | Preferred | High | |
|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | |
| Quoted market price value | 0.0010 | 0.0015 | 0.0020 |
| Control premium | 25% | 30% | 35% |
| Quoted market price valuation including a premium for control | 0.0013 | 0.0020 | 0.0027 |
Source: BDO analysis
Therefore, our valuation of a SFP share based on the quoted market price method and including a premium for control is between $0.0013 and $0.0027, with a midpoint value of $0.0020.
10.3 Assessment of SFP Value
The results of the valuations performed are summarised in the table below:
| Low | Preferred | High | |
|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | |
| Net assets value (Section 10.1) | 0.0091 | 0.0091 | 0.0091 |
| ASX Market prices (Section 10.2) | 0.0013 | 0.0020 | 0.0027 |

We note that the value obtained under the NAV methodology is higher than the values obtained under the QMP methodology in our low, preferred and high scenarios. The difference between the valuations obtained under the NAV and QMP approaches can be explained by the following:

Post 30 June 2014, the Company issued 220 million shares at $0.002 per share under a Share Purchase plan. These were issued at a premium to the existing QMP, which has contributed towards the value per share derived under the NAV methodology being higher; and
-
Our share price analysis in section 10.2 indicates that there is not a deep market for the Company’s shares with only 5.36% of the Company’s share capital traded in the 12 months prior to the announcement of the Acquisition. As a result of the lack of liquidity, we have not relied on the QMP value in assessing the value of a SFP share prior to the Acquisition.
For the reasons described above, we conclude that the value obtained under the NAV approach is more reflective of the value of a SFP share prior to the Acquisition. Therefore, we consider the value of a SFP share to be $ 0.0091 per share.

We have been advised that there have not been significant changes to the net assets of 3D Medical since 30 June 2014, with the exception of the adjustments outlined below.
Note 1: Cash and cash equivalents
Pursuant to the capital raised by SFP as part of its Share Purchase Plan, an amount of $510,000 was advanced to 3D Medical as an interest free loan towards meeting its working capital requirements. Additionally, the amount of $100,000 being the cost repayment as discussed in Section 10.1 was also paid by SFP. The table below sets out the basis of the adjusted cash balance:
31
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
Cash assets $ Cash balance at 30 June 2014 208,160 Add: Proceeds from interest free loan advanced by SFP 510,000 Add: Consideration received towards cost repayment from SFP 100,000 Less: Purchase of 3D Printers and computers (103,679) Adjusted Cash balance 714,481
Note 2: Additions to Property, Plant & Equipment
The additions to Property, Plant & Equipment are primarily in the nature of 3D printers amounting to $102k. The remaining additions were towards computers purchased at cost.
Note 3: Unsecured loan
As discussed in Section 10.1, on 17 August 2014, SFP entered into a loan agreement amounting to $510,000 with 3D Medical for meeting its working capital requirements which is interest free and repayable if the Acquisition does not proceed for any other reason other than the SSA being terminated as a result of a breach by SFP.
Note 4: Purchase consideration from SFP
As a part of the consideration for the Acquisition, SFP has agreed to pay $100,000, being in the nature of cost repayment towards the expenses incurred as part of 3D Medical’s terminated IPO.
11.2 Cash raised from issue of new shares
The Directors of SFP have advised that the Company will be conducting a capital raise for the issue of up to 60 million shares at an issue price of $0.05 per share to raise a minimum of $3 million, with a provision to accept oversubscriptions of upto 100 million shares to raise up to a total of $5 million. We have therefore increased the net asset position of SFP following the Acquisition to reflect both scenarios.
11.3 Facilitation shares to be issued
The terms of the SSA provide for an issue of 4,375,000 fully paid ordinary Facilitation shares (post capital consolidation) in the manner of 875,000 shares each to Trident Capital and 3.5 million shares to Taylor Collison respectively.
11.4 Consideration options to be issued
The consideration for the Acquisition includes an issue of Tranche 1 Consideration Options and Tranche 2 Consideration Options with an exercise price of $0.05 per share. We have considered the impact of these options on the existing shareholders in 2 scenarios, namely:
-
On a undiluted basis (i.e., where the options are not exercised); and
-
On a diluted basis (i.e., where the options are exercised)
32
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
11.5 Discount for minority interest
The net asset value of a SFP share following the Acquisition is reflective of a controlling interest. This suggests that the acquirer obtains an interest in the company which allows them to have an individual influence in the operations and value of that company. Therefore, if the Acquisition is completed, Shareholders may become minority shareholders in SFP as the Vendors will hold a controlling interest, meaning that their individual holding will not be considered significant enough to have an individual influence in the operations and value of the Company.
Therefore, we have adjusted our valuation of a SFP share following the Acquisition, to reflect a minority interest holding. A minority interest discount is the inverse of a premium for control and is calculated using the formula 1-(1/1+control premium). As discussed in section 10.2, we consider an appropriate control premium for SFP to be in the range of 25% to 35%, giving rise to a minority interest discount in the range of 20% to 26%.
11.6 Number of shares on issue
Our adjustment to the number of shares on issue following the approval of the Acquisition is set out in the below table.
| Scenario 1 1,075,868,074 2.93% 97.07% (10:1) 107,586,807 46,951,226 128,048,774 175,000,000 4,375,000 4,375,000 60,000,000 351,336,807 52.5% 29.7% 17.8% 100.0% |

12. Is the Acquisition fair?
We have compared the value of a SFP share prior to the Acquisition on a controlling interest basis with the value of a SFP share following the Acquisition on a minority basis on both an undiluted and diluted basis as detailed below:
| Ref | Low | Preferred | High | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | ||
| Value of a SFP share prior to the Acquisition on a | 10.3 | 0.0091 | 0.0091 | 0.0091 |
| controlling interest basis | ||||
| Value of a SFP share following the Acquisition on | 11.7 | 0.0090 | 0.0110 | 0.0129 |
| a minority interest basis (undiluted) | ||||
| Value of a SFP share following the Acquisition on | 11.8 | 0.0160 | 0.0175 | 0.0191 |
| a minority interest basis (diluted) |
We note from the table above that the value of a share in SFP following the acquisition is greater than the value of a share in SFP prior to the Acquisition on a controlling interest basis. Therefore, we consider that the Acquisition is fair for the Shareholders.
We note that the value of a SFP share following the Acquisition on a diluted basis is greater than the value of a SFP share on an undiluted basis. The diluted scenario is dilutive to the existing Shareholders on a percentage held basis, but is not dilutive in terms of value. This is a result of the percentage increase in the value of SFP following the exercise of the options being greater than the percentage increase in number of shares, implying that the cash generated from the exercise of options more than offsets the dilution arising from the issue of shares.
13. Is the Acquisition reasonable?
13.1 Advantages of approving the Acquisition
We have considered the following advantages when assessing whether the Acquisition is reasonable:
13.1.1 The Acquisition is Fair
As set out in section 12, the Acquisition is fair. RG 111 states that an offer is reasonable if it is fair.
13.1.2 Greater commercial opportunities
Given that SFP has yet to commercialise its existing patents and trademarks held, the proposed acquisition of 3D Medical would provide the Company with significant opportunities for commercialisation and integration of 3D printing and holographic projection technology into the Australian medical industry. In this regard, 3D Medical has already entered into a Service Level Agreement with Capitol Health Limited for providing exclusive 3D printing services towards printing of patient specific anatomical models, thereby indicating the push towards commercialisation. Additionally, 3D Medical has also commenced sale of its EchoPixel viewer and has received its first order from a leading radiology group during August 2014.
36
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
13.1.3 Additional sources of financing
The change in nature of activities could enable SFP to attract new investors and raise additional working capital and may also increase its ability to acquire further projects.
13.2 Disadvantages of approving the transaction
We have considered the following disadvantages when assessing whether the Acquisition is reasonable:
13.2.1 Change in business model
The change in the Company’s core operation from being engaged in medical syringe technology to 3D printing and holographic projection technology may be inconsistent with the objectives of Shareholders.
13.2.2 Dilution of existing Shareholder interests
If the Acquisition is completed, then existing Shareholder interests will be diluted from holding 100% of the Company to holding an interest of 26.7% on an undiluted basis and 20.6% on a diluted basis, assuming a $5 million capital raise.
13.2.3 Absence of significant revenues
In the case of 3D Medical, the Company is still in the early stages of commercialising and integrating its 3D printing and holographic projection technology into the Australian medical industry. Therefore, there exists a higher degree of uncertainty in relation to the future prospects of 3D Medical. Additionally, there is no guarantee that 3D Medical will be able to successfully commercialise its products and realise significant revenues going forward.
13.2.4 Competitive market
The Australian healthcare market is subject to a high degree of competition, both domestic and global. Therefore, 3D Medical could be adversely affected by newer technologies developed, rendering its products obsolete.
13.3 Other Considerations
13.3.1 Alternative Proposals
We are unaware of any alternative proposal that might offer the Shareholders of SFP a premium over the value ascribed to, resulting from the Acquisition.
13.3.2 Practical Level of Control
If the Acquisition is approved then the Vendors will hold an interest of approximately 64% in SFP, should there be a capital raise of $3 million and approximately 59% if the capital raise amounts to $5 million (assuming that the Consideration Options are exercised under both Scenarios). In addition to this, 3D Medical is entitled to nominate 3 persons to the Board.
When shareholders are required to approve an issue that relates to a company, there are two types of approval levels. These are general resolutions and special resolutions. A general resolution requires 50% of shares to be voted in favour to approve a matter and a special resolution required 75% of shares on issue to be voted in favour to approve a matter. If the Acquisition is approved, then the Vendors will be able to block general and special resolutions.
37
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
SFP’s Board currently comprises of three directors, who will not continue if the Acquisition is approved. Therefore, the three directors nominated by 3D Medical will constitute the Board of directors.
13.3.3 Consequences of not approving the Acquisition
We have analysed movements in SFP’s share price since the Acquisition was announced. A graph of SFP’s share price since the announcement is set out below.

The Acquisition was announced to the market on 23 June 2014. On that date, approximately 87 million shares were traded and SFP’s shares doubled in value and closed at $0.004. Since the announcement, the price of SFP’s shares has steadily increased and has traded between $0.005 and $0.008.
Given the above analysis, it is possible that if the Acquisition is not completed then SFP’s share price may decline to its pre announcement level.

We have considered the terms of the Acquisition as outlined in the body of this report and have concluded that the Acquisition is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders of SFP.

A endix 2 – Valuation Methodolo ies pp g
Methodologies commonly used for valuing assets and businesses are as follows:
1 Net asset value (‘NAV’) Asset based methods estimate the market value of an entity’s securities based on the realisable value of its identifiable net assets. Asset based methods include:
-
Orderly realisation of assets method
-
Liquidation of assets method
-
Net assets on a going concern method
The orderly realisation of assets method estimates fair market value by determining the amount that would be distributed to entity holders, after payment of all liabilities including realisation costs and taxation charges that arise, assuming the entity is wound up in an orderly manner.
The liquidation method is similar to the orderly realisation of assets method except the liquidation method assumes the assets are sold in a shorter time frame. Since wind up or liquidation of the entity may not be contemplated, these methods in their strictest form may not be appropriate. The net assets on a going concern method estimates the market values of the net assets of an entity but does not take into account any realisation costs.
Net assets on a going concern basis are usually appropriate where the majority of assets consist of cash, passive investments or projects with a limited life. All assets and liabilities of the entity are valued at market value under this alternative and this combined market value forms the basis for the entity’s valuation.
Often the FME and DCF methodologies are used in valuing assets forming part of the overall Net assets on a going concern basis. This is particularly so for exploration and mining companies where investments are in finite life producing assets or prospective exploration areas.
These asset based methods ignore the possibility that the entity’s value could exceed the realisable value of its assets as they do not recognise the value of intangible assets such as management, intellectual property and goodwill. Asset based methods are appropriate when an entity is not making an adequate return on its assets, a significant proportion of the entity’s assets are liquid or for asset holding companies.
2 Quoted Market Price Basis (‘QMP’) A valuation approach that can be used in conjunction with (or as a replacement for) other valuation methods is the quoted market price of listed securities. Where there is a ready market for securities such as the ASX, through which shares are traded, recent prices at which shares are bought and sold can be taken as the market value per share. Such market value includes all factors and influences that impact upon the ASX. The use of ASX pricing is more relevant where a security displays regular high volume trading, creating a ‘deep’ market in that security.
3 Capitalisation of future maintainable earnings (‘FME’) This method places a value on the business by estimating the likely FME, capitalised at an appropriate rate which reflects business outlook, business risk, investor expectations, future growth prospects and other entity specific factors. This approach relies on the availability and analysis of comparable market data.

The FME approach is the most commonly applied valuation technique and is particularly applicable to profitable businesses with relatively steady growth histories and forecasts, regular capital expenditure requirements and non-finite lives.
The FME used in the valuation can be based on net profit after tax or alternatives to this such as earnings before interest and tax (‘ EBIT ’) or earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (‘ EBITDA ’). The capitalisation rate or ‘earnings multiple’ is adjusted to reflect which base is being used for FME.
4 Discounted future cash flows (‘DCF’)
The DCF methodology is based on the generally accepted theory that the value of an asset or business depends on its future net cash flows, discounted to their present value at an appropriate discount rate (often called the weighted average cost of capital). This discount rate represents an opportunity cost of capital reflecting the expected rate of return which investors can obtain from investments having equivalent risks.
Considerable judgement is required to estimate the future cash flows which must be able to be reliably estimated for a sufficiently long period to make this valuation methodology appropriate.
A terminal value for the asset or business is calculated at the end of the future cash flow period and this is also discounted to its present value using the appropriate discount rate.
DCF valuations are particularly applicable to businesses with limited lives, experiencing growth, that are in a start up phase, or experience irregular cash flows.
5 Market Based Assessment
The market based approach seeks to arrive at a value for a business by reference to comparable transactions involving the sale of similar businesses. This is based on the premise that companies with similar characteristics, such as operating in similar industries, command similar values. In performing this analysis it is important to acknowledge the differences between the comparable companies being analysed and the company that is being valued and then to reflect these differences in the valuation.
