During January, funds have been received in the nature of short term loans to be repaid. This has enabled the company to continue its development.
On 22 January 2010, shareholders approved a share placement by the Company of up to 14 million shares to raise, circa, $5.0 million in new capital. The Company is currently finalising this share placement.

The Company has also meet with its bankers to discuss a rolling short term facility of $300,000 that will address the lumpiness of the Company’s cash flow. This facility will enable the Company to meet payment requirements to accelerate the manufacture and delivery of inventory to overseas markets.
The Company’s bank has processed the facility based upon the security of Government receivables being funds due to the Company in respect of its Export Market Development Grant of $200,000, the South Australia Investment and Innovation Fund (“SAIIF”) grant of $1.2 million and tax refund for Research & Development of $350,000. It is anticipated that this facility would convert to a debtors financing facility backed by letters of credit in due course if required.
The Directors are confident that these funding initiatives will see the Company through to the end of the financial year and cash flow self sufficiency.
