The free attaching Options shall be exercisable at $0.008 on or before 31 December 2011.
Holders of existing Options will not be entitled to participate in the Issue. The Company currently has 6,120,000 Options on issue as at the date of this Prospectus. These Options may be exercised by the Option holders prior to the Record Date in order to participate in the Issue.
3.2 Shares to Rank Equally

3.3 Purpose of the Issue
The purpose of the Issue and the use of the funds are set out in Section 4 of this Prospectus.
3.4 Fractional Entitlements
Fractional entitlements arising from the Issue will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
3.5 Minimum Subscription
There is no minimum subscription level set for this Issue.
3.6 Underwriting
The Issue is fully underwritten by the Underwriters, up to a maximum of 306,796,528 Shares (subject to the terms of the Shortfall Offer, as discussed below). Further details of the terms of the underwriting are set out in section 7.2 of this Prospectus.
To comply with the requirement to fully disclose the Underwriters’ approximate potential voting power in the Company and the effect of the underwriting by the Underwriters, the table below sets out various scenarios to indicate the effect on the Company’s shareholding depending on the Shortfall (if any), assuming no existing Options are exercised and assuming each Underwriter (or its associated entity) takes up its maximum entitlement under the Issue (as they have indicated they will). The potential maximum voting increase in the shareholding and voting power of the Underwriters in set out in the tables below (100% Shortfall) and will only occur if no Shareholders take up their entitlement under the Issue.

*Rounded up to the nearest whole number.
The information in the table above shows the potential effect of the underwriting of the Issue by the Underwriters. However, it is unlikely that no Shareholders will take up their entitlement under this Prospectus. The underwriting obligation of the Underwriters, and therefore the voting power of the Underwriters, will reduce by a corresponding amount for the amount of entitlements taken up by other Shareholders. In addition, the future pattern of shareholding of the Company will change depending on the take up of entitlements of other Shareholders.

3.8 Listing ASX

If granted, trading of the Shares will commence on a deferred settlement basis on 17[th] October 2009. It is the responsibility of each applicant to determine the number of Shares allotted and issued to them.
If the Shares offered under this Prospectus are not admitted to Official Quotation by ASX within three months after the date of this Prospectus, unless the ASIC grants the Company an exemption permitting the issue, the Company will not allot or issue any Securities pursuant to this Prospectus and will return all application moneys within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

3.9 Allotment of Securities
In accordance with the Corporations Act, until the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus have been allotted and issued, all application moneys shall be held by the Company in trust in a bank account established for the purpose of depositing application moneys received.

3.10 Privacy Act
If you complete an Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or by the Company’s share registry). The Company collects, holds, and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a Security holder, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Security holder and carry out administration.
The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your Shares and Options in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies (including the Australian Taxation Office), authorised stock brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company’s share registry.
You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company or its share registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.
Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation (including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASTC Settlement Rules.

3.12 Overseas Residents
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer in any place in which or to any person to whom it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

3.13 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will apply to ASX to participate in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring broker.

Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank statement) that sets out the number of Shares and Options allotted to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

6. RISK FACTORS
The Securities offered by this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the general and certain specific risks, which relate directly to the Company’s business. These risks are largely beyond the control of the Company and its Directors because of the nature of the business of the Company.
The following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors that Shareholders need to be aware of:
6.1 General Risks
As the Company is a company listed on the ASX, its share price is subject to numerous influences that may affect both the broad trend in the share market and the share prices of individual companies.
Economic conditions, both domestic and global, may affect the performance of the Company and ultimately the price of its shares. Factors such as currency fluctuations, inflation, interest rates, commodity prices, customer preferences, supply and demand and political, taxation, and legal decisions could have an impact on operating costs, profit margins and stock market prices. The Company’s future revenues and share prices can be affected by such factors, which may be beyond the control of the Company.
The two factors expected to most affect the price of the free attaching Options on the ASX are:
-
(a) the price of the Shares on the ASX; and
-
(b) the time to expiry of the free attaching Options.
As the price of the free attaching Options is linked to the price of the Shares, the same factors that affect the price of Shares will affect the price of the free attaching Options.
6.2 Specific Risks
Risk factors specifically applicable to the Company, to the industry that it presently operates, and those areas of interest to the Company include:
Regulatory Environment
The capacity to operate in the adult industry is affected by changes in government policy and legislation affecting the sale and distribution of the Company’s products and services.
Credit Card Processing Companies
The Company’s ability to sell products and services on the internet depends on being able to process sales on line by the use of third party credit card processing companies. The Company’s ability to maintain these relationships is critical in its ability to derive revenue from the sale of products and services online.
Competition
The Company faces challenges to compete against businesses operating outside the laws that govern the jurisdictions that it operates within.
Key Person Risk
The ability to retain and attract the calibre of staff and senior managers with the requisite skills and experience needed to successfully operate the various divisions of the Company, and to source, review and operate new opportunities evaluated by the Company in the technology, industrial and resources environments.
12
Opportunity Risk
Risks ordinary associated with identifying, acquiring and operating new opportunities in the technology, industrial and resources sectors, including but not limited to:
-
future capital requirements to adequately fund the acquisition and operation of those opportunities;
-
research and development or exploration and feasibility risks, as the case may be, that determine the ultimate viability of a potential opportunity;
-
governmental, sovereign, native title & community, and environmental risks impacting the ongoing tenure, development and viability of potential opportunities; and
-
competition for potential opportunities that have the potential to deliver shareholder value.
