CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of the Board, I have pleasure in inviting you to the Annual General Meeting of shareholders of Brainvtovs Limited. The meeting will be held at 10:00am on the 22nd of November 2005 at London House, Level 1, 216 St Georges Terrace.

The strategic direction of the Company has been revised over the previous 12 months, and structural changes have shifted the Company's focus from being an investment company to a toy and game development company. The Company was re-registered as Brainytoys Limited in November 2004 to reflect these changes and more accurately describe the nature of our business

A significant milestone was reached with the identification of a suitable investment opportunity and the subsequent acquisition of 100 per cent of Brainytoys.com Pty Ltd in October 2004. This acquisition was made possible through the raising of \$1,010,000 in seed capital by issuing shares to sophisticated investors in December 2004 and a public offer for \$1,750,000 in March 2005.

The capital raised has been used to strategically position Brainytoys in the toy and game development industry and to acquire assets to boost the infrastructure available to the Company. A proportion of the capital raised has also been invested in the research and development of various toy and game products.

The Company has over 30 toys and games currently in development, and will be ready to progress some of these products to manufacturing within the next six to twelve months.

The Company has recently met with leading toy and game distributors in Australia, Europe and North America with a view to identifying sales and market targets both domestically and internationally. Brainytoys is actively developing relationships with large toy and game manufacturing companies around the world.

Recently acquired technological equipment, including 3D printers, has enabled the Company to accelerate the development cycle of multiple products.

The expertise of our highly experienced senior management team led by our Managing Director, Alex Aguero, will drive the growth of Brainytoys during this next year and beyond. The recently announced appointment of Tonia McNeilly as Marketing Manager further strengthens our management team.

The next twelve months will be an exciting time as Brainytoys moves from the product development phase to manufacturing, distribution, marketing and ultimately product sales, generating cash flow for the Company.

Yours sincerely

BRAINYTOYS LIMITED ROBERT TOWNER CHAIRMAN

Instructions for Completing 'Appointment of Proxy' Form

  • $\mathbf{L}$ A member entitled to attend and vote at a Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf.
