  • (a) provision of security personnel (such as uniformed guards for shopping centers and sporting events);

  • (b) installation and monitoring of commercial Closed Circuit Television Cameras ( CCTV ) systems; and

  • (c) integrated commercial security systems (that incorporate CCTV, door entry systems and monitoring services).

Refer to Section 3.9 for further details regarding Mr Simmons and Mr Boardman.

3.6 Strategy of the Company following Completion

Assuming Completion occurs, the Company will focus on growing MCS's and Intiga's revenues by focusing on the following areas of opportunity for expansion.

Metropolitan Perth Expansion

The Company is committed to growing MCS and Intiga's Perth metropolitan area contract base and has identified a number of targets that it is currently in discussion with. The targets involve security contracts in relation to:

  • (a) high rise office space in Perth city; and

  • (b) prominent Perth event venues.

Expansion into Maintenance and Cleaning Services

The Company intends to horizontally integrate its offering to clients by offering other services (such as cleaning and maintenance services) and cross selling these new services.

The Company may undertake this expansion by way of the future acquisition of an existing business, which is already established in a complimentary industry.

Expansion Interstate by Way of Acquisition

The Company has identified multiple targets for acquisition interstate. These targets present opportunities to immediately expand into other states of Australia.

Following Completion, the Company will seek to fund the acquisition of such targets, either in whole or in part, with listed Shares in the Company.

Western Australia Regional Expansion

The Company will focus on areas that it has identified as high value in regional Western Australia, such as Broome, Onslow, Port Hedland and other towns in the Pilbara region.

13

Typically, these areas present higher margin contracts than those in the metropolitan area. Clients in regional Western Australia include the operators of mine sites, shopping centers and port facilities.

MCS and Intiga are currently in negotiation with a number of potential clients from regional Western Australia and this will form part of the Company’s focus, following Completion.

3.7 Industry Overview

Overview of Security Personnel Industry

The Company defines the security personnel industry as all guards, patrol services and crowd control services not provided by governmental departments such as Police and Fire departments.

Industry Characteristics

The industry has relatively low barriers to entry given the low degree of skill level or formal qualifications required by guards. This low barrier to entry has likely contributed to lack of concentration in the industry where only three suppliers of security personnel services are estimated to have achieved more than 5% of market share – together accounting for less than 20% of market share. SIS Australia Holdings Pty Ltd (operating as MSS Security) holds approximately 6.7% of the market, followed by Linfox Properties Limited with 6.5% and Wilson Parking Australia 1992 Pty Ltd with 5.4%. This sees 81% of the market held by companies with less than 5% market share (IBISWorld).

Drivers of Industry Activity

Multiple factors contribute to the level of activity in the industry, including:

  • (a) the level of criminal activity: increased crime rates, both real and perceived, increase the demand for security services;

  • (b) demand from general insurance: demand for security services may be driven by insurance provider requirements. This demand sees increases to both residential and commercial security services where policy holders may be required to maintain a certain a level of security services under their insurance policy; and

  • (c) economic activity: the increase in economic activity drives the construction of commercial and residential of properties and centres. Similarly, as disposable income increases, so does the patronage of hospitality venues and sporting events by the general population.

Licensing, Regulation and Policy

To operate a security company, a security agent’s license and/or a crowd controller’s agents license is required which enables the license holder to offer or provide the following services:

  • (a) security officers;

  • (b) security bodyguards;

  • (c) security consultants;

  • (d) security installers; or

  • (e) security crowd controllers.

14

Security companies in Western Australia are required to comply with the following legislation:

  • (a) Security and Related Activities (Control) Act 1996; and

The Company is then required to agree the Reconciliation Accounts with the MCS Vendors in respect of MCS ( MCS Reconciliation Accounts ) and with John Boardman in respect of Intiga ( Intiga Reconciliation Accounts ).

To the extent that the MCS Reconciliation Accounts indicate that there is a surplus of MCS Retained Cash (as a result of the MCS Retained Cash exceeding the liabilities or other amounts owing by MCS to third parties as at Completion), the Company shall pay the surplus amount to the MCS Vendors in equal proportions to the nominated bank accounts of the MCS Vendors. To the extent that the MCS Reconciliation Accounts indicate that there is insufficient MCS Retained Cash (as a result of the MCS Retained Cash being insufficient to satisfy the amount of liabilities or other amounts owing by MCS to third parties as at Completion), the MCS Vendors are jointly and severally liable to pay the amount of the shortfall to the nominated bank account of the Company.

  • (i) the other party ( Defaulting Party ) fails to perform and comply, in all material respects, with its obligations under the MCS Sale Agreement; or

  • (ii) the Defaulting Party fails to deliver all documents and instruments required to be delivered at Completion or fails to perform all of its obligations at Completion,

3.16 Advantages of the Acquisitions

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's determination on how to vote on the Acquisition Resolutions:

  • (a) exposure to the future potential cash flows of established and profitable businesses;

  • (b) in the current market environment there is a greater likelihood of restoring Shareholder value by changing the nature of the Company's business to focus on the security industry rather than remaining a junior mineral explorer;

22

  • (c) the potential increase in market capitalization of the Company, following Completion, may lead to increased coverage from investment analysts, access to improved equity capital market opportunities and increased liquidity; and

  • (d) reduced foreign exchange exposure by divesting foreign projects in favour of local businesses that deal in Australian dollars.

3.17

Disadvantages of the Acquisitions

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's determination on how to vote on the Acquisition Resolutions:

  • (a) the Company will be changing the nature and scale of its activities to become a company focused on the provision of security services, which may not be consistent with the objectives of some Shareholders;

  • (b) should the Acquisitions be completed, existing Shareholders will have their voting power reduced. As such, the ability of the existing Shareholders to influence decisions, including the composition of the Board or the acquisition or disposal of assets will be reduced accordingly

  • (c) following the issue of the Consideration Shares, the MCS Vendors and Mr John Boardman will become the largest Shareholders of the Company;

  • (d) should the Acquisitions be completed, the Company will be exposed to the risks of the New Businesses (refer to Schedule 2 for further information); and

  • (e) the Company will seek to re-comply with the ASX Listing Rules if the Acquisition Resolutions are approved. There is no guarantee that the Company will successfully re-comply with the requirements or that ASX will quote all securities of the Company on passing of the Acquisition Resolutions.

3.18 Risk Factors

Shareholders should be aware that if the Acquisition Resolutions are approved and the Acquisitions are completed, the Company will be changing the nature and scale of its activities which will result in it being subject to various risk factors (in addition to those that are presently applicable). These risks are both specific to the industry in which MCS and Intiga operate and also relate to the general business and economic environment in which the Company will operate. Based on the information available, a non-exhaustive list of these risk factors is detailed in Schedule 2.

3.19

Restricted Securities

Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules prohibits holders of Restricted Securities from disposing of those securities or an interest in those securities, or agreeing to dispose of those securities or an interest in those securities, for the relevant restriction periods.

ASX has provided the Company with in-principle advice that it will not treat any of the Consideration Shares, Facilitation Shares or Capital Raising Shares as Restricted Securities. However, as noted in Section 3.15(e), the MCS Vendors and John Boardman have agreed to enter into voluntary restriction agreements in respect of 80% of the Consideration Shares to be issued to them. The effect of those voluntary restriction agreements will be to restrict the MCS Vendors and John Boardman from disposing of 80% of the Considerations Shares which will be held by them, or disposing of in an interest in 80% of the Consideration Shares which will be held by them (or agreeing to do

23

any of those things) for a period of 12 months from the date of re-admission of the Shares to ASX.

3.20 Plans for the Company if the Acquisitions are not completed

If the Company does not complete the Acquisitions, it will continue with its current business activities and will investigate, and as required, undertake due diligence on, new opportunities to complement its existing business. In addition, if the Company does not complete the Acquisitions, the Capital Raising will not be completed. However, the Company may need to undertake an alternative capital raising in the near future to ensure that it can continue as a going concern.

3.21

Existing Projects

The Company maintains an interest in the La Negra Project, Chile.

The Company discontinued active exploration activities on this project in April 2014.

Following Completion, the Company will assess its options regarding this existing project, including divestment.

3.22 Indicative Timetable

The following is an indicative timetable for Completion and re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.

Event Indicative Date*
Lodgement of Prospectus with ASX 20 October 2015
Meeting 28 October 2015

* The above timetable is indicative only and subject to change. The Directors reserve the right to amend the timetable without notice and will keep Shareholders updated (via ASX announcements) on the timing of the Completion.

3.23 Directors' Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Acquisition Resolutions.

3.24 Interdependence of Resolutions

The Acquisition Resolutions are interdependent, meaning that Shareholders must pass each of the Acquisition Resolutions for the Acquisitions and the Capital Raising to proceed.

3.25 Forward Looking Statements

The forward looking statements in this Explanatory Memorandum are based on the Company’s current expectations about future events. However, they are subject to known

24

and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are outside the control of the Company and the Directors, which could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking statements in this Explanatory Memorandum. These risks include but are not limited to, the risks detailed in Schedule 2. Forward looking statements include those containing words such as ‘anticipate’, ‘estimates’, ‘should’, ‘will’, ‘expects’, ‘plans’ or similar expressions.

4. Resolution 1 – Change to Nature and Scale of Activities

4.1 General

Resolution 1 seeks approval from Shareholders for a change to the nature and scale of the activities of the Company as a result of the Acquisitions.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution. Resolution 1 is subject to the approval of each of the other Acquisition Resolutions.

The Chairperson will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

4.2 Listing Rule 11.1

Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules requires Shareholders to approve any significant change in the nature or scale of an ASX-listed company's activities. The Acquisitions will have the effect of changing the nature, and increasing the scale, of the Company's activities.

Accordingly, the Company must:

  • (a) under Listing Rule 11.1.1, notify ASX of the proposed change;

  • (b) under Listing Rule 11.1.2, obtain shareholder approval to undertake the change, if required by ASX; and

  • (c) under Listing Rule 11.1.3, meet the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules as if the Company was applying for admission to the official list of ASX, if required by ASX. ASX has confirmed that the Company will need to recomply with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules. The Company proposes to undertake the Capital Raising pursuant to Resolution 4 as part of the process of satisfying the requirements of re-compliance.

Trading of Shares will be suspended on the morning of the day of the Meeting. If Shareholders pass all of the Acquisition Resolutions, trading of Shares on ASX 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 in early November 2015 (refer to Section 3.22). If Shareholders do not approve all of the Acquisition Resolutions, trading of Shares on ASX will resume following the release of the results of the Meeting.

See Section 3 for further information on the Acquisitions and the likely effect that the Acquisitions will have on the Company.

A voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 1 is included in the Notice.

25

5. Resolution 2 – Approval of the Acquisitions

5.1 General

As outlined in Section 3.2, the Company is proposing to acquire the New Businesses through the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of MCS and Intiga.

The Acquisitions are subject to the Conditions set out in Section 3.15 above, including the requirement to obtain Shareholder approval. A detailed description of the Acquisitions and New Businesses are outlined in Section 3.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval of the Acquisitions and, in particular, Shareholder approval, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, for the issue of the following Consideration Shares:

  • (a) an aggregate of 30,000,000 Shares to the MCS Vendors; and

  • (b) 18,000,000 Shares to Mr John Boardman.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution. Resolution 2 is subject to the approval of each of the other Acquisition Resolutions.

The Chairperson will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Given the Considerations Shares to be issued under Resolution 2 will exceed the 15% threshold set out in Listing Rule 7.1, and none of the exceptions contained in Listing Rule 7.2 apply, Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 7.1.

5.3

Specific Information Required by Listing Rule 7.3

  • (a) A maximum of 48,000,000 Shares will be issued.

  • (b) The Consideration Shares will be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow).

  • (i) Mr Paul Simmons (or his nominee) - 15,000,000 Shares;

6. Resolution 3 – Approval of Issue of Deferred Consideration Shares to John Boardman

6.1 General

As outlined in Section 3, as part consideration for the Intiga Acquisition, the Company is required to issue 6,000,000 Shares to Mr Boardman upon achieving the Financial Milestone.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution. Resolution 3 is subject to the approval of each of the other Acquisition Resolutions.

The Chairperson will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.3.2

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 5.2.

Listing Rule 7.3.2 provides that for Shareholders to approve an issue of equity securities, this Notice must include the date by which the Company will issue the securities, such date being no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

The Company has been granted a waiver from Listing Rule 7.3.2 by ASX to the extent necessary to permit the Deferred Consideration Shares to be issued at a date more than 3 months after the date of the Meeting ( Waiver ).

14. Resolution 12 – Directors Deeds of Indemnity, Access and Insurance

14.1 General

The purpose of Resolution 12 is to enable the Company to provide the Officers with a reasonable level of protection in relation to claims made against them in relation to the period of their Office.

Resolution 12 is an ordinary resolution.

Given the duties and responsibilities of directors of a public company and their potential liabilities, the Directors consider it appropriate that they be suitably protected from certain claims made against them. The proposed protection will not extend to the extent it is prohibited by the Corporations Act.

As a person may be called to account for his or her actions several years after ceasing to hold Office, it is considered reasonable that suitable protection should extend for a period of time after a Director has ceased to hold Office.

It is generally recognised that a director or former director of a company may face considerable difficulty in properly answering or defending any claim made against them, particularly, as is often the case, where the claim is brought after the director ceases to hold Office. Difficulties may arise by reason of the following:

(a) No indemnity after cessation of Office

33

While the Constitution provides Directors with an indemnity in respect of claims made while they hold Office, the indemnity arguably ceases if they cease to hold Office. Without the benefit of an indemnity, the cost of defending such a claim in respect of the actions of a Director or former Director, even if the claim is ultimately proven to be without merit, can be considerable and beyond the financial resources of the individual Director.

(b)

Maintenance of insurance policies

Directors' and officers' insurance policies generally only provide cover for claims made during the currency of the insurance policy. Generally, unless insurance premiums continue to be paid after the time a person ceases to hold Office, claims made after cessation of Office will not be covered by the insurance policy. The cost to a former Director of personally maintaining insurance cover after ceasing to hold Office can be prohibitive, particularly given the number of years for which insurance must be maintained and given the former Director is unlikely to be receiving income from the Company.

(c) Access to Board papers

In accordance with section 198F of the Corporations Act, directors have a right to inspect the books of the Company:

  • (i) whilst they hold Office; and

  • (ii) for 7 years after ceasing to hold Office,

at all reasonable times for the purposes of a legal proceeding to which the person is a party, that the person proposes in good faith to bring or that the person has reason to believe will be brought against him or her

Despite this statutory right, Directors may require access to company documents which are relevant to the director's Office and not strictly required for the purpose of anticipated, threatened or commenced legal proceedings. Furthermore, although a proceeding may be instituted within six years after a cause of action arises, that six year period is calculated from the date the damage is found to have occurred – this may be long after the conduct which allegedly caused the damage occurred.

Given these difficulties, a person may be unwilling to become or to remain as a director of a public company without suitable protection being provided by the Company. The benefit to the Company in providing such protection is that it will continue to be able to attract persons of suitable expertise and experience to act as Directors.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 12.

If the Chairman is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 12, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

14.2 Summary of the Deed of Indemnity, Insurance and Access

The Company will, subject to Shareholder approval, enter into a deed, which will require:

34

  • (a) the Company to indemnify the Officers during their Office and after the cessation of that Office, in respect of certain claims made against the Officers in relation to the period of their Office to the extent allowable under the Corporations Act;

  • (b) the Company to use its reasonable endeavours (subject to cost and availability) to maintain an insurance policy and pay the premiums of insurance as assessed at market rates for the Officers to the extent available under the Corporations Act, in respect of certain claims made against the Officers in relation to the period of their Office (except to the extent such insurance cannot be procured at a reasonable cost or is otherwise unavailable to the Company) and to continue to pay those premiums for a period of up to seven years following the termination of their Office;

  • (c) the Company to provide the Officers with access, upon ceasing for any reason to hold Office and for a period of up to seven years following that cessation, to any Company records which are either prepared or provided by the director during the period which the person held Office.

The deed will also require the Officers to maintain confidentiality and to protect the Company's intellectual property.

14.3 Summary of indemnity and insurance provisions in the Corporations Act

In considering Resolution 12, please note the following limitations in the Corporations Act concerning the provision of indemnities and insurance to Company officers. The deed for which Shareholder approval is sought under Resolution 12 complies with these limitations.

  • (a) Section 199A of the Corporations Act

The Corporations Act sets out specific prohibitions to the Company's ability to grant indemnities for liabilities and legal costs.

The Company is prohibited from indemnifying its officers against a liability if it is a liability:

  • (i) to the Company and any of its related bodies corporate;

  • (ii) to a third party that arose out of conduct involving a lack of good faith; or

  • (iii) for a pecuniary penalty order or a compensation order under the Corporations Act (such orders being made for breaches such as breaches of director's duties, the related party rules and insolvent trading rules).

The Company is also prohibited from indemnifying its officers against legal costs incurred:

  • (i) in defending actions where an officer is found liable for a matter for which he or she cannot be indemnified by the Company as set out immediately above;

  • (ii) in defending criminal proceedings where the officer is found guilty;

  • (iii) in defending proceedings brought by ASIC or a liquidator for a court order if the grounds for making the order are found by the court to be established; or

35

  • (iv) in connection with proceedings for relief to the director under the Corporations Act where the court denies the relief.

(b)

Section 199B of the Corporations Act

If the Company, or a related body corporate of the Company, pays the premium on an insurance policy in favour of a Director, section 199B of the Corporations Act requires the Company to ensure that the relevant contract of insurance does not cover liabilities incurred by the officer arising out of conduct involving either:

  • (i) a wilful breach of duty in relation to the Company; or

  • (ii) contravention of the provisions relating to an officer making improper use of information or improper use of his or her position for his or her advantage or gain, or to the detriment of the Company.

14.4 Section 200B of the Corporations Act

In accordance with section 200B of the Corporations Act, to give a benefit in connection with a person's retirement from an office, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 200E of the Corporations Act.

The Directors consider that as the:

  • (a) proposed payment of insurance premiums;

  • (b) benefit of the indemnity in relation to liabilities incurred during the period a Director and officer holds office; and

  • (c) Director's and Officer's access to Company records,

which continue for a period of up to 7 years after the relevant director ceases to hold Office, each may be viewed as the provision of a benefit given "in connection with" the retirement for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act.

14.5

Section 208 of the Corporations Act

In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The provision of insurance and indemnity to the Officers, who are Directors (or a proposed Director in the case of Ms Chapman) may involve the provision of a financial benefit to a related party of the Company within the prohibition of section 208 of the Corporations Act. However, the Directors consider that the payment of insurance premiums and the provision of indemnities by the Company are "reasonable in the circumstances" of the Company and, therefore, are exceptions from the prohibition in section 208 of the Corporations Act and, as a result, Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

14.6

Director recommendation

As Messrs Puckridge and Pickett may have a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 12, neither wishes to make a recommendation as to how to vote on Resolution 12.

The remaining Director, Mr Edwin Bulseco, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Schedule 2 – Risk Factors

There are a number of risks associated with the Acquisitions that may have an impact on the financial returns received by Shareholders. These risks are important for Shareholders to understand.

Shareholders are already exposed to a number of risks through their existing shareholding in the Company. A number of these risks are inherent in investing in securities generally.

The risk factors include, but are not limited to, those detailed below. Additional risks not presently known to the Company, or if known, not considered material, may also have an adverse impact.

Specific Risks

1. Conditional Acquisitions and Re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules

As part of the Company's change in nature and scale of activities, ASX will require the Company to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules. A Prospectus will be issued to assist the Company to re-comply with these requirements. The Shares will be suspended from the date of the Meeting. It is anticipated that the Shares will remain suspended until Completion, re-compliance by the Company with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules and compliance with any further conditions ASX imposes on such reinstatement. There is a risk that the Company will not be able to satisfy one or more of those requirements and that its Shares will consequently remain suspended from quotation.

Further, if any of the Conditions are not satisfied (or waived), the Acquisitions will not proceed.

2. Failure to renew existing contracts or win new contracts

The Company and the New Businesses ability to renew contracts with existing customers and win new contracts with existing and new customers is fundamental to the Company's business, growth and profitability. The Company will face competition in the security industry following Completion. New contracts, including contracts entered into with an existing customer where a previous contract has expired, are usually subject to a competitive process. There is a risk that the Company and the New Businesses may not win these contracts for any of a number of reasons. These include, for example:

  • (a) lower pricing from competitors;

  • (b) increased competition;

  • (c) the Company's inability to differentiate its services and to market them effectively;

  • (d) the Company's failure to maintain the quality or efficiency of its service offerings or to anticipate, identify or react to changes in customer preferences or requirements;

  • (e) the Company's failure to react to new developments in service delivery technology; and

  • (f) negative perceptions adversely affecting the Company's brand and reputation as a result of the eventuation of some of the other risk factors listed in this Schedule 2.

Failure to successfully renew existing contracts or to win new contracts could negatively impact the Company's financial performance, including, in the case of a failure to retain an existing customer of the New Businesses, by leaving the Company with excess capacity or redundancy costs, and adversely impact its ability to grow its operations.

41

3. Failure to properly understand customer requirements and customer demand

A large number of the New Businesses' material contracts are long term contracts, and many are not able to be terminated by the New Businesses unless the customer is in breach. The Company and New Businesses may from time to time enter into contracts where the agreed revenue is insufficient to cover the costs of delivering the security services or to provide adequate profit margins. This can occur for a number of reasons, including a failure to properly understand the scope and requirements of a contract, a failure to assess accurately the costs of delivering the contracted services, a failure to properly model the drivers of customer demand or a failure to adhere to the business' internal risk assessment and contracting process guidelines. The risk of such failures occurring may increase as the Company seeks to expand its services into new markets. If the Company enters into low margin contracts, the Company's revenue and profitability could be adversely impacted.

4. Risks associated with increased staff numbers

An increase in the New Businesses contracts may result in an increase the number of contracted and employed staff of the Company. This greater number of staff could result in a greater risk of worker's compensation claims made against the Company. The increased risk of these claims may also result in a disproportionate increase in the Company’s insurance premiums. Accordingly, the increased costs associated with a greater number of worker's compensation claims and heightened insurance premiums may result in a decrease in the Company’s profitability.

5. Public Liability Exposure

An increase in the New Businesses contracts may result in an increase in the number of locations the Company operates and the number of members of the general public that are likely to interact with the Company and its staff. This increases the potential for public liability claims made against the Company and may result in a disproportionate increase in the Company’s insurance premiums. The increased costs associated with a greater number of public liability claims and heightened insurance premiums may result in a decrease in the Company’s profitability.

6. Counterparty risks and costs

The New Businesses may experience counterparty risk in the form of new clients failing or refusing to pay fees in relation to services provided by the New Businesses under contract. The Company may incur expenses in attempting to recover the fees due under the contracts. Further, the amount of any fees recovered by the Company may be less than the expenses incurred.

7. Deregulation of Industry

Governmental changes in policy may occur whereby the industry becomes deregulated and the licences that the New Businesses maintain are no longer required. This may result in a significant decline in the barriers to entry of the industry and may result in increased competition and a reduction in margins, which may lead to a reduction in the Company's profitability.

8. Insurance risks

Whilst the Company will endeavour to maintain appropriate insurances for the New Businesses, there is no guarantee that such insurances will be available to the Company at economically viable premiums (or potentially at all). Further, in the event of claim, there can be no guarantee that the level of insurance held by the Company will be sufficient. As a result, the

42

Company risks being adversely affected by not carrying sufficient insurance or not being able to obtain insurance on suitable terms.

9. Risk of termination or renegotiation during the contract term

Some customers have a right to terminate contracts in certain circumstances, including where a party acquires control of MCS or Intiga (as the case may be), or where MCS or Intiga (as the case may be) is in material breach of the contract. In addition, contracts with government entities customarily contain a right for the customer to terminate for convenience. Termination of the New Businesses' services by a customer before the end of a contract's term will reduce the Company's future revenue and, in some situations, may leave the Company with excess capacity or excess labour or redundancy costs. Upon termination, the Company may not receive adequate compensation, or any compensation, for such losses and costs.

From time to time, customers may seek to renegotiate existing contracts for various reasons during the term of the contract. To the extent such customers have a right to terminate a contract (for convenience or otherwise), they may seek to use this right as leverage in the renegotiation process. Although the frequency of contract renegotiations has historically been low, the frequency of contract renegotiations may increase in the future. If contract renegotiations lead to the parties entering into new contracts on terms less favourable to the Company, or if the parties fail to reach an agreement and the customer terminates the existing contract, the Company's revenue and profitability could be adversely impacted. The Company may have potential liabilities for redundancies and other liabilities as a consequence of any contracts that are renegotiated or terminated before they would otherwise expire.

10. Customers may choose to change from outsourcing to in-sourcing of services

The Company's and the New Businesses' financial performance depends on customers continuing to outsource security services. The Company's anticipated future growth depends in part on security services being outsourced in the future. A reduction in outsourcing may result from a variety of factors, including changing economic conditions or industry trends, changes in the specific strategies of customers or poor performance by outsourced service providers. A decline in outsourcing of security services by customers, or an increase in customers taking security services back in-house ("in-sourcing") may adversely affect the Company's future revenue and profitability and its prospects for growth.

11. Reliance on key personnel

The Company and New Businesses currently employ a number of key management and personnel, and the Company's future depends on retaining and attracting suitable qualified personnel.

In particular, Mr Paul Simmons and Mr John Boardman will be crucial to the Company in their respective roles as CEO and COO, and, as the respective founders of MCS and Intiga, they have valuable relationships with customers.

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to attract and retain suitable qualified personnel, and a failure to do so could materially adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and financial prospects.

12. Licence risk

The New Businesses rely on the grant and maintenance of a Commercial Agent’s Licence, Crowd Control Licence, Investigator's Licence, Inquiry Agent's Licence, Security Consultant's Licence and a Security Agent's Licence (together the Licences ). The Security and Related Activities (Control) Act 1996 (WA) provides that these Licences can only be issued to a natural person. While a natural person may hold the Licences on behalf of a body corporate if they are an officer of the body, the Licences terminate automatically (and are non-transferable) if the

43

person ceases to be an officer of the body corporate. The Licences are currently held by Paul Simmons in relation to MCS and Gary Hodgson in relation to Intiga.

If Paul Simmons or Gary Hodgson cease to be involved with the New Businesses, a new officer approved to hold the relevant Licences will be required in order to operate the business. If a new Licence holder is required, there is a risk that delays could occur in the approval of a new Licence holder which, if protracted, could result in the New Businesses experiencing business interruption until such time as appropriate Licences are granted to a new holder.

13. Contract risk

Some of the New Businesses contracts may be terminated for reasons outside of the the Company's control. The loss of contracts may adversely affect the Company’s operating results and profitability.

14. Competition

The New Businesses operate in markets with established competitors and no assurance can be given that the actions of existing or future competitors will not have a material adverse effect on the businesses operations or financial condition of the Company. The market for security services is highly competitive and the New Businesses' ability to compete will in part depend on their ability to provide quality services.

General Risks

15. Market Conditions

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's quoted securities regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (a) general economic outlook;

  • (b) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;

  • (c) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • (e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • (f) terrorism or other hostilities.

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and technology related stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

16. Taxation

There is the potential for further changes to tax laws and changes in the way tax laws are interpreted. Any change to the current rates of taxes imposed on the Company is likely to affect returns to Shareholders.

The Company obtains external expert advice on the application of the tax laws to its operations. An interpretation of taxation laws by a revenue authority that is contrary to the Company's interpretation of those laws may increase the amount of tax to be paid.

44

In addition, an investment in the Shares involves tax considerations which may differ for each Shareholder. Each prospective Shareholder is encouraged to seek professional tax advice in connection with any investment in the Company.

17. Economic and government risks

The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of other factors affecting performance of all industries and not just the security industry including, but not limited to, the following:

  • (a) general economic conditions in jurisdictions in which the Company operates;

  • (b) changes in government policies, taxation and other laws in jurisdictions in which the Company operates;

  • (c) the strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world, and in particular investor sentiment towards the security sector;

  • (d) movement in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; and

  • (e) natural disasters, social upheaval or war in jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

Schedule 3 - Summary of Executive Share Plan

Information about the Executive Share Plan is set out below. A copy of the Executive Share Plan can be obtained by contacting the Company.

Outline of the Executive Share Plan

This section gives a brief outline of how the Board intends to implement the Executives' participation under the Executive Share Plan.

Participation

Carefully designed, performance linked, equity plans are widely considered to be very effective in providing long term incentives to the Executives. They are also used to attract and retain the Executives by providing them with the opportunity to participate in the creation of a valuable personal asset – a financial stake in the Company.

As part of the Company's strategy, the Board wishes to be in a position to grant Shares under the Executive Share Plan to the Executives to achieve the objectives outlined above.

Overview of the Executive Share Plan and terms and conditions

The Board is aware of general Shareholder concern that long-term equity based rewards for Executives should be linked to achievements by the Company. Accordingly, the Shares under the Executive Share Plan will only be issued upon the satisfaction of certain performance conditions.

The main features of the Executive Share Plan (and the terms and conditions to be attached to the Executive Share Plan) are summarised as follows:

Eligible Executive: The Company may from time to time make an invitation to an Executive of the Company.

Invitation: Each invitation to an eligible Executive must be in writing and must specify the number of Shares being offered, the subscription price (if any), the manner in which the subscription price is to be paid, and the date by which the invitation must be accepted, the performance conditions, and other matters required under the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or any regulatory instrument issued by ASIC.

Excluded Information : If the Shares under the Executive Share Plan are not issued in reliance of an applicable ASIC class order, the issue of the Shares must be postponed until such time as any excluded information in respect of the Company (as defined in section 708A(7) of the Corporations Act) ceases to be excluded information and the Company shall upon the issue of the Shares give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act or lodge a prospectus with ASIC that qualifies the Shares for resale under section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.

Restrictions : The Board may, in its sole discretion, impose restrictions on the ability of an Executive to deal with the Shares issued under the Executive Share Plan for an identified period of time, following their issue, and may request the application of a holding lock to ensure that such dealing restrictions are observed.

Limits on Entitlement: An offer of Shares may only be made under the Executive Share Plan if the number of Shares that may be issued, when aggregated with:

  • (a) the number of Shares which would be issued if each outstanding offer, right or option to acquire unissued Shares, made or acquired pursuant to the Executive Share Plan

46

or any other incentive scheme, was to be accepted or exercised (as the case may be); or

  • (b) the number of Shares issued during the previous 3 years pursuant to the Executive Share Plan or any other incentive scheme,

but disregarding an offer made or Share issued by way of or as a result of:

  • (a) an offer to a person situated at the time or receipt of the offer outside of Australia;

  • (b) an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act; or

  • (c) an offer made under a disclosure document,

must not exceed 10% (or such other maximum number permitted under any ASIC class order providing relief from the disclosure regime of the Corporations Act) of the total number of issued Shares as at the time of the offer.

47

Schedule 4 - Summary of Employee Option Plan

Information about the Employee Option Plan is set out below. A copy of the Employee Option Plan can be obtained by contacting the Company.

Outline of the Employee Option Plan

This section gives a brief outline of how the Board intends to implement initial participation under the Employee Option Plan.

Participation

Carefully designed, performance linked, equity plans are widely considered to be very effective in providing long term incentives to staff. They are also used to attract and retain staff by providing them with the opportunity to participate in the creation of a valuable personal asset – a financial stake in the Company.

As part of the Company's strategy, the Board wishes to be in a position to grant Employee Options under the Employee Option Plan to employees (excluding Directors) to achieve the objectives outlined above. An Employee Option is a right to subscribe for a Share during the exercise period, subject to the satisfaction of any additional Exercise Conditions that are attached to the Employee Option, as determined by the Board.

Overview of the Employee Option Plan and terms and conditions

The Board is aware of general Shareholder concern that long-term equity based rewards for staff should be linked to achievements by the Company. Employee Options granted under the Employee Option Plan to eligible participants may be subject to Exercise Conditions as determined by the Board from time to time. The Exercise Conditions must be satisfied in order for the Employee Options to be exercisable. Upon Employee Options being duly exercised, Shares are issued or transferred to the participant in accordance with the Employee Option Plan.

The Board considers the Employee Option Plan a crucial mechanism to encourage and retain high level executive and employee performance. The Board intends to implement the Employee Option Plan, and set the Exercise Conditions, in a manner designed to incentivise and reward high level executive and employee performance.

The main features of the Employee Option Plan (and the terms and conditions to be attached to the Employee Option Plan) are summarised as follows:

Eligible Participants: The eligible participants under the Employee Option Plan are the employees and the contractors of the Company ( Eligible Employees ).

Limits on Entitlement: An offer of Employee Options may only be made under the Employee Option Plan if the number of Shares that may be acquired on exercise of those Employee Options, when aggregated with:

  • (a) the number of Shares which would be issued if each outstanding offer, right or option to acquire unissued Shares, being an offer made or right or option acquired pursuant to the Employee Option Plan or any other incentive scheme, was to be accepted or exercised (as the case may be); or

  • (b) the number of Shares issued during the previous 3 years pursuant to the Employee Option Plan or any other incentive scheme;

but disregarding an offer made or Employee Option acquired or Share issued by way of or as a result of:

48

  • (a) an offer to a person situated at the time or receipt of the offer outside of Australia;

  • (b) an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act; or

  • (c) an offer made under a disclosure document,

must not exceed 10% (or such other maximum number permitted under any ASIC class order providing relief from the disclosure regime of the Corporations Act) of the total number of issued Shares as at the time of the offer. For the avoidance of doubt, where an Employee Option lapses without being exercised, the Shares concerned shall be excluded from the calculation.

Consideration Payable: Employee Options will be issued for no consideration but may have an Exercise Price payable by the Eligible Employee at the time of exercise.

Offer and Exercise Conditions: The Employee Options issued under the Employee Option Plan to Eligible Employees may be subject to Exercise Conditions, determined by the Board from time to time and expressed in a written offer letter ( Offer ) made by the Company to the Eligible Employee which is subject to acceptance by the Eligible Employee within a specified period. The Board in its absolute discretion determines whether Exercise Conditions have been met.

Expiry Date & Lapse: Employee Options will have such expiry date, being the last exercise date, as the Board may determine in its absolute discretion and specify in the Offer. Irrespective of whether an Exercise Condition of an Employee Option has been achieved, any Employee Options which have not been exercised by the expiry date will lapse.

Retirement, Disability, Redundancy, Death or Removal as a Director: Under the Employee Option Plan, upon total and permanent disability, redundancy, death of a participant, or any other circumstances as the Board may determine, then in respect of those Employee Options which have not lapsed, the Board may at its discretion bring forward the first exercise date and waive or vary any Exercise Conditions in regard to the Employee Option.

Assignment: The Offer is personal to the Eligible Employee and the Eligible Employee may not in whole or in part assign, transfer or in any other manner, deal with the Offer.

Takeover Bid or Change of Control: All Employee Options automatically vest if:

  • (a) a takeover bid (as defined in the Corporations Act) for the Company’s issued Shares is made and the bidder obtains voting power (as defined in the Corporations Act) in the Company of 50% or more and the takeover offers are made or declared unconditional (which includes where the takeover offers are unconditional other than for the happening of the events or circumstances set out in section 652C(1) and (2) of the Corporations Act or the condition set out in section 625(3) of the Corporations Act);

  • (b) the Company announces that Shareholders have at a Court convened meeting of Shareholders voted in favour, by the necessary majority, of a proposed scheme of arrangement (excluding a merger by way of scheme of arrangement for the purposes of a corporate restructure (including change of domicile, consolidation, sub division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company) and the Court, by order, approves the scheme of arrangement under section 411(4)(b) of the Corporations Act; or

  • (c) an event or transaction by which an entity obtains or is to obtain voting power (as defined in the Corporations Act) in the Company of 50% or more is approved or accepted by a majority of members of the Company.

49

New Issues: Eligible Employees are not entitled to participate in any new issue to existing holders of Shares, unless they have become entitled to exercised their Employee Options and they do so before the record date for the determination of entitlements to the new issue of Shares and participate as a result of being Shareholders.

Pro Rata Issue of Shares: If, during the term of any Employee Options, the Company makes a pro rata issue of Shares to the Shareholder, and no Share has been issued in respect of an Employee Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, the Exercise Price of the Employee Option may be reduced by the Board.

Bonus Issue: If, during the term of any Employee Options, the Company completes a bonus issue, the number of Shares each Employee Options holder is then entitled, shall be increased by that number of securities which the holder would have been issued if the Employee Options then held by the holder were exercised immediately prior to the record date for the bonus issue.

No Conferred Rights: The Employee Option Plan:

  • (a) does not confer on an employee of the Company the right to receive an Offer;

  • (b) does not confer on an employee of the Company the right to continue as an employee;

  • (c) do not affect the rights which the Company or any of its subsidiaries may have to terminate the Eligible Employee's employment;

  • (d) may not be used to increase damages in an action brought against the Company or any of its subsidiaries in respect of that termination; and

  • (e) does not confer any voting rights to an Eligible Employee, rights to dividends or any other form of benefit prior to the Employee Options being exercised.

Amendment: The Board may amend the Employee Option Plan at any time, subject to consent requirements and the Listing Rules to the extent any such amendment would adversely affect the rights of holders of existing Employee Options.
