3. IMPORTANT NOTES

This Prospectus is dated 1 May 2019 and was lodged with the ASIC on that date. The ASIC, the ASX and their officers take no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or the merits of the investment to which this Prospectus relates.

No Shares may be issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than 13 months after the date of this Prospectus.

No person is authorised to give information or to make any representation in connection with this Prospectus, which is not contained in the Prospectus. Any information or representation not so contained may not be relied on as having been authorised by the Company in connection with this Prospectus.

It is important that investors read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek professional advice where necessary. The Shares the subject of this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.

Applications for Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus can only be submitted on an original Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Shortfall Application Form.

This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus. In making representations in this Prospectus regard has been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom potential investors may consult.

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities in the United States. The securities described in this document have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and applicable US state securities laws. In particular, this document may only be distributed by the Company in the United States to existing shareholders of the Company who are institutional "accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the US Securities Act of 1933.

3.1 Risk factors

Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Shares in the Company involves a number of risks. The key risk factors of which investors should be aware are set out in Section 7 of this Prospectus. These risks together with other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities not specifically referred to, may affect the value of the Shares in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. Investors should consider consulting their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

3.2 Forward-looking statements

This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements which are identified by words such as ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’, or ‘intends’ and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties.

3

These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.

Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of our Company, the Directors and our management.

We cannot and do not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

We have no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this prospectus, except where required by law.

These forward looking statements are subject to various risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements. These risk factors are set out in section 4 of this Prospectus.

4. DETAILS OF THE OFFER

4.1 The Offer

The Offer is being made as a renounceable entitlement issue of one (1) Share for every one (1) Share held by Shareholders registered at the Record Date at an issue price of $0.006 per Share. Fractional entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Based on the capital structure of the Company as at the date of this Prospectus, a maximum of 162,468,795 Shares will be issued pursuant to this Offer to raise up to approximately $974,813.

All of the Shares offered under this Prospectus will rank equally with the Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus. Please refer to Section 6 for further information regarding the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares.

The purpose of the Offer and the intended use of funds raised are set out in Section 5.1 of this Prospectus.

As Shareholders would be aware, the Company lodged a prospectus for a renounceable entitlement issue on 21 February 2019 to raise up to $960,000 by the issue of Shares at an issue price of $0.03 ( Original Prospectus ). As announced on 25 March 2019, the participation of Shareholders under the Original Prospectus was relatively low with approximately $75,000 being raised. Due to this, and as foreshadowed in the Original Prospectus, the Company entered into Long Hill Loan to provide the Company with additional working capital (refer to Section 8.6 for further details).

The purpose of the Offer under this Prospectus is to raise a similar amount as was intended to be raised under the Original Prospectus by the issue of Shares at a lower issue price of $0.006. The amount required to be raised by the Company to meet its short term commitments and working capital requirements has not changed since the Original Prospectus and therefore the amount sought to be raised under the Offer is similar to what the Company intended to raise under the Original Prospectus. The funds raised under the Offer are to be used in a similar allocation to what was disclosed in the Original Prospectus, with an additional allocation to repay the Long Hill Loan (refer to Section 5.1 for further details).

The issue price under the Offer has been discounted to attract Eligible Shareholders to take up their Entitlement and raise a greater amount than was raised under the Original Prospectus. The change in the entitlement ratio (to a one for one basis) is to ensure that a similar amount is raised as was sought to be raised under the Original Prospectus while accounting for the discounted issue price.

4.2 Minimum subscription

There is no minimum subscription.

4.3 What Eligible Shareholders may do

5

The number of Shares to which Eligible Shareholders are entitled is shown on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Eligible Shareholders may:

  • (a) take up all of their Entitlement (refer to section 4.4);

  • (b) sell all of their Entitlement on ASX (refer to section 4.5);

  • (c) take up a proportion of their Entitlement and sell the balance on ASX (refer to section 4.6);

  • (d) take up a proportion of their Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse (refer to section 4.7);

  • (e) sell all or a proportion of their Entitlement other than on ASX (refer to section 4.8); or

  • (f) allow all or part of their Entitlement lapse (refer to section 4.9).

Eligible Shareholders may also apply for Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer (refer to Section 4.15).

4.4 Taking up all of your Entitlement

Should you wish to accept all of your Entitlement, then applications for Shares under this Prospectus must be made on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Prospectus or by completing a BPAY® payment, in accordance with the instructions referred to in this Prospectus and on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Please read the instructions carefully.

Please complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form by filling in the details in the spaces provided and attach a cheque for the Application Monies indicated on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms must be accompanied by a cheque in Australian dollars, crossed “Not Negotiable” and made payable to the account name set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and lodged and received at any time after the issue of this Prospectus and on or before the Closing Date at the Company's Share Registry (by delivery or by post) in accordance with the details set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you wish to pay via BPAY® you must follow the personalised instructions in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Make sure that you use the specific Biller Code and unique Customer Reference Number (CRN) on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You do not need to return a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and the representations outlined below in section 4.10. If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those Shareholdings only use the CRN specific to that Shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings. This can result in your Application Monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result that any application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).

6

You should be aware that your own financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is your responsibility to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY® are received by 4:00pm (WST) on the Closing Date.

The Company shall not be responsible for any postal or delivery delays or delay in the receipt of the BPAY® payment.

4.5 Selling all your Entitlement on ASX

The Entitlements under the Offer are renounceable which means that all or part of an Eligible Shareholder’s rights to subscribe for Shares under the Offer may be traded on ASX. If you wish to sell all of your Entitlement on ASX, provide instructions to your stockbroker regarding the Entitlement you wish to sell on ASX. Trading of Entitlements will commence on ASX on 6 May 2019 and will cease on 14 May 2019.

There is no guarantee that an Eligible Shareholder will be able to sell all or any part of their Entitlement on ASX or that any particular price will be paid for the Entitlements sold on ASX.

4.6 Taking up a proportion of your Entitlement and selling the balance on ASX

If you wish to take up only part of your Entitlement, complete the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the number of Shares you wish to take up and follow the steps in section 4.4, or make a payment by BPAY in accordance with section 4.12.

Subsequently, provide instructions to your stockbroker regarding the proportion of your Entitlement you wish to sell on ASX.

4.7 Taking up a proportion of your Entitlement and allowing the balance to lapse

If you wish to take up only part of your Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse, complete the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the number of Shares you wish to take up and follow the steps in section 4.4. If you take no further action, the balance of your Entitlement will lapse and you will have forfeited any potential benefit to be gained from taking up or selling that part of your Entitlement.

4.8 Selling all or a proportion of your Entitlement other than on ASX

You may elect to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to another person other than on ASX. If the purchaser of your Entitlement is an Ineligible Shareholder or a person that would be an Ineligible Shareholder if they were a registered holder of Shares, that purchaser will not be able to take up the Entitlement they have purchased.

If you are a shareholder on the issuer sponsored subregister and you wish to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to another person other than on ASX, forward a completed standard renunciation and transfer form (obtainable from the Share Registry) and the applicable transferee's cheque for the Shares they wish to subscribe for payable to the account name set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and crossed “Not Negotiable” to the Share Registry (by delivery or by post at any time after the issue of this Prospectus and on or before the Closing Date) in accordance with the details set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

7

If you wish to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to or from another person on the CHESS subregister you must engage your CHESS controlling participant (usually your stockbroker). If the transferee wants to exercise some or all of the Entitlement, you should follow your stockbroker's instructions as to the most appropriate way to take up the Entitlement on their behalf. The Application Monies for Shares the transferee of the Entitlement wants to acquire must be received by Share Registry in accordance with section 4.4.

You may elect to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to another person other than on ASX. If the purchaser of your Entitlement is an Ineligible Shareholder or a person that would be an Ineligible Shareholder if they were a registered holder of Shares, that purchaser will not be able to take up the Entitlement they have purchased.

4.9 Allow all or part of your Entitlement to lapse

Shareholders should be aware that their Entitlement may have value. Entitlements are renounceable, which enable Eligible Shareholders who do not wish to take up part or all of their Entitlement to seek to sell or trade all or some of their Entitlement on ASX.

If you do not wish to accept or trade any part of your Entitlement, you are not obliged to do anything. If you do not take up your Entitlement or dispose of your Entitlement by the Closing Date, the Offer to you will lapse.

4.10 Implications of an acceptance

Returning a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form or paying any Application Monies by BPAY® will be taken to constitute a representation by you that:

  • (a) you have received a copy of this Prospectus and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and read them both in their entirety;

  • (b) you acknowledge that once the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is returned, or a BPAY® payment instruction is given in relation to any Application Monies, the application may not be varied or withdrawn except as required by law.

4.11 Payment by cheque/bank draft

All cheques must be drawn on an Australian bank or bank draft made payable in Australian currency to the account name set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and crossed “Not Negotiable”.

Your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and cheque must reach the Company’s share registry no later than 5:00pm WST on the Closing Date.

4.12 Payment by BPAY®

For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:

  • (a) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and

8

  • (b) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your application monies.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the share registry by no later than 4:00 pm (WST) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement other cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. Any application monies received for more than your final allocation of Shares (only where the amount is $1.00 or greater) will be refunded. No interest will be paid on any application monies received or refunded.

4.14 Dilution of existing Shareholders

Notes:

  1. This is based on a share capital of 162,468,795 Shares at the date of this Prospectus. 2. The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that all other Entitlements are accepted.

4.15 Shortfall Offer

Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Offer will form the Shortfall Offer.

The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date. The issue price for each Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.006 being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Offer.

Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer, subject to such Applications being received prior to the Closing Date and Shareholders taking up their full Entitlement. The issue price for each Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer will be $0.006, being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Offer.

The allocation of the Shortfall Shares will be at the discretion of the Board in conjunction with the Lead Manager. The Board will use its discretion in a manner not to exacerbate a potential unacceptable control effect.

In this regard, the Shortfall will not be placed to Long Hill Capital II, LLC (or its associates), Durval Tavares (or his associates) or Eagle’s View Capital Partners LP (or its associates) or any other Shareholder who would acquire a voting power in excess of 20% as a result of placement of the Shortfall. Shortfall will be allocated in priority to Eligible Shareholders who take up their full Entitlement, who are not related to Directors, on a pro rata basis in accordance with Eligible Shareholders’ Entitlements under the Offer, with any remaining Shortfall Shares to be allowed to lapse or placed to third parties. Where the number of Shares subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders under the Shortfall Offer exceeds the number of Shortfall Shares available, the Company will consider using its 15% placement capacity under the ASX Listing Rules to accept oversubscriptions and issue the Shares.

4.16 Underwriting

The Offer is not underwritten.

4.17 Lead Manager

Brentridge Capital Pty Ltd ( Brentridge or Lead Manager ) has been appointed as the lead manager to the Offer. The terms of the appointment of the Lead Manager are summarised in Section 8.5 of this Prospectus.

4.18 ASX listing

Application for Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made in accordance with the timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any Shares and will repay all application monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

11

The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares now offered for subscription.

4.19 Issue of Shares

Shares issued pursuant to the Offer will be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus.

Shares issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be issued on a progressive basis. Where the number of Shares issued is less than the number applied for, or where no issue is made surplus application monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Shortfall Offer.

Pending the issue of the Shares or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.

Holding statements for Shares issued under the Offer will be mailed in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus and for Shortfall Shares issued under the Shortfall Offer as soon as practicable after their issue.

4.20 Overseas shareholders

This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.

It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Shares will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia, New Zealand or, in certain limited cases as described below, the United States of America.

The information in this Prospectus has been prepared to comply with the applicable requirements of the securities laws of Australia and New Zealand. The distribution of this Prospectus outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus outside Australia or New Zealand should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

New Zealand

The Shares are not being offered to the public within New Zealand other than to existing shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of these securities is being made in reliance on the transitional provisions of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand) and the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2016 (New Zealand).

12

This Prospectus has been prepared in compliance with Australian law and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority. This document is not a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law is required to contain.

United States

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities in the United States. The securities described in this document have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and applicable US state securities laws. In particular, this document may only be distributed by the Company in the United States to existing shareholders of the Company who are institutional "accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the US Securities Act of 1933.

Nominees and custodians

Nominees and custodians may not submit an Entitlement and Acceptance Form on behalf of any Shareholder resident outside Australia and New Zealand without the prior consent of the Company, taking into account relevant securities law restrictions. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.

Appointment of Nominee

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.7 and Section 615 of the Corporations Act, the Company has appointed a nominee, Patersons Securities Limited (ACN 008 896 311) ( Patersons ), to sell the Entitlements to which Ineligible Shareholders are entitled. The nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing and price at which the Entitlements may be sold and the manner of any such sale.

Any interest earned on the proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements will firstly be applied against expenses of such sale, including brokerage, and any balance will accrue to the relevant Ineligible Shareholders as described below.

The net proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements will then be forwarded by the Company as soon as practicable to the Ineligible Shareholders, in proportion to their share of such Entitlements (after deducting brokerage commission and other expenses).

Notwithstanding that the nominee may sell Entitlements, Ineligible Shareholders may nevertheless receive no net proceeds if the costs of the sale are greater than the sale proceeds. In this regard, Patersons will not be required to sell Ineligible Shareholders' Entitlement at a particular price. Neither the Company nor the nominee will be subject to any liability for failure to sell the Entitlements at a particular price. If, in the reasonable opinion of Patersons, there is no viable market for the Entitlements of the Ineligible Shareholders, or a surplus over the expenses of the sale cannot be obtained for the Entitlements that would have been offered to the Ineligible Shareholders, then those Entitlements will be allowed to lapse.

Shareholders resident in Australia or New Zealand holding Shares on behalf of persons who are resident overseas are responsible for ensuring that taking up an

13

Entitlement under the Offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.

6. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SHARES

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to Shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

6.1

General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.

6.2

Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:

  • (a) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (b) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

  • (c) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited). Amounts paid in advance of a call are ignored when calculating the proportion.

6.3

Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid or credited as paid is of the total amounts paid and payable in respect of such Shares.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they believe to be justified subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

20

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, grant shareholders or a class of shareholders the right to elect to reinvest cash dividends paid by the Company by subscribing for Shares on the terms determined by the Board.

6.4 Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

6.5 Shareholder liability

As the Shares issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

6.6 Transfer of shares

Generally, shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

6.7 Future increase in capital

The issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of Securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.

6.8 Variation of rights

Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to shares.

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

6.9 Alteration of constitution

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

21

7. RISK FACTORS

7.1 Introduction

The Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

7.2 Company-Specific Risks

(a) Going concern

The Company’s financial report for the year ended 31 December 2018 stated the Company and its controlled entities (together, the Group ) “incurred losses of $4,833,146 and had net cash outflows used in operating activities of $4,436,926. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on a number of factors, the most significant of which is its ability to generate sufficient returns from operating activities, or to raise further capital , thus resulting in a material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business”.

Notwithstanding the ‘going concern’ note included in the 2018 annual report, the Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will continue as a going concern post the 12month period to April 2020, after consideration of the following factors:

  • (i) the Company had net current assets of $537,530, net assets of $668,272 as well as cash and cash equivalents of $704,377 as at 31 December 2018;

  • (ii) the Company expects to generate increased revenues from the sale of SwarmDiverTM products and the SwarmDiverTM products’ continued development within the next 12 months and beyond;

  • (iii) the Company has the ability to issue additional shares to raise further working capital and has been successful in doing this previously, as evidenced by the successful capital raising completed during financial year ended 31 December 2017 and more recently the $1,250,000 Share placement in July 2018;

  • (iv) research and development and product development constitute a substantial part of the Company’s costs. The Company has applied for, and is continuing to apply for further,

22

non-dilutive governmental funding contracts and grants. In the last 12 months, the Company was awarded two such nondilutive U.S. Navy funded contracts for additional SwarmDiverTM product development. If further contracts or grants are awarded, the Company’s research and development and product development costs may be funded, in whole or in part, using such funds;

  • (v) the Company has the ability to apply for additional grants to fund export and marketing activities to further promote the sale of its products. During 2018, the Company received one such grant for participation in a trade mission and was accepted into the State of Massachusetts Export Compliance Fund, where it now receives ongoing export related services to support its business; and

  • (vi) the Company also has the ability to scale down its operations in order to further curtail expenditure in the event insufficient cash is available to meet projected expenditure. Accordingly, the Directors were of the opinion that the Group would be able to continue as a going concern and that it was appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.

In the event that the Offer is not completed successfully, there is significant uncertainty as to whether the Company can continue as a going concern, which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.

(b)

Control risk

Long Hill Capital II, LLC is currently the largest Shareholder of the Company and has a relevant interest in approximately 33.46% of the voting Shares in the Company. Assuming Long Hill Capital II, LLC takes up its full Entitlement and no other Shareholders accept their entitlements, its voting power in the Company could be as high as 50.14%.

Long Hill Capital II, LLC’s significant interest in the capital of the Company means that it is in a position to potentially influence the financial decisions of the Company, and its interests may not align with those of all other Shareholders.

Long Hill Capital II, LLC holds a relevant interest in more than 25% of the Company which means that it has the potential to prevent a special resolution from being passed by the Company (such resolution requiring at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution). Special resolutions are required in relation to approve certain Company matters including potentially seeking the delisting of the Company, amending the Constitution, approving the voluntary winding up of the Company and, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, approving the variation of the rights attached to any such class.

(c) Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its

23

operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its development and research programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

(d)

Shareholder dilution

In the future, the Company may elect to issue Shares or other securities. While the Company will be subject to the constraints of the ASX Listing Rules regarding the issue of Shares or other securities, Shareholders may be diluted as a result of issues of Shares or other securities. Further, on the conversion of Performance Shares into Shares, Shareholders will be further diluted.

(e) Limited operations

The Company has limited operations and may be dependent on equity and debt fund-raising and/or dividends and distributions from its subsidiaries.

(f) Acquisitions

The Company’s growth strategy may involve finding and consummating acquisitions in areas complimentary to its business. The Company may not be successful in identifying and acquiring suitable acquisition targets at acceptable cost. Further, acquisitions may require additional funding on acceptable terms, which may or may not be available at the relevant time. Further, the Company will experience competition in making acquisitions from larger companies with significantly greater resources.

(g)

International operations

The Company sells its products to international customers and expects to continue to do business around the world. The Company’s operations will therefore be subject to a number of risks inherent in global operations, including political and economic instability in foreign markets, inconsistent product regulation by foreign agencies or governments, imposition of product tariffs and burdens, cost of complying with a wide variety of international and U.S. export laws and regulatory requirements (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.S. Export Administration Act and the U.S. Arms Export Control Act (and the regulations promulgated thereunder)), risks stemming from the Company’s lack of local business experience in specific foreign countries, foreign currency fluctuations, difficulty in enforcing intellectual property rights, foreign taxes, and language and other cultural barriers. Additionally, operating an international business with sales in a number of legal jurisdictions will necessarily require substantial input from a variety of legal counsel and expose the Company to legal costs that may be disproportionately high relative to its revenues, and will be incurred regardless of whether the Company derives revenues from a given jurisdiction or at all.

24

(h) Disputes

The activities of the Company may result in disputes with third parties, including, without limitation, the Company’s investors, competitors, regulators, partners, distributors, customers, directors, officers and employees, and service providers. The Company may incur substantial costs in connection with such disputes.

(i)

Strategies

There are no limits on strategies that the Company may pursue. The strategy may evolve over time due to, among other things, market developments and trends, technical challenges, the emergence of new or enhanced technology, changing regulation and/or industry practice, and otherwise in the Company’s sole discretion. As a result, the current strategy, approaches, markets and products of the Company may not reflect the strategies, approaches, markets and products relevant to, or pursued by, the Company at a later date.

Further, a change in strategy may involve material and as yet unanticipated risks, as well as a high degree of risk, including a higher degree of risk than the Company’s strategy in place as of the date hereof.

(j)

Governmental contracts

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues may depend on the Company’s ability to do business with the U.S. as well as foreign governments and their various agencies, whether directly or indirectly. Such customers may:

  • (i) award or terminate contracts at their convenience;

  • (ii) terminate, reduce or modify contracts or subcontracts if its requirements or budgetary constraints change;

  • (iii) cancel multi-year contracts and related orders if funds become unavailable;

  • (iv) shift their spending priorities;

  • (v) adjust contract costs and fees on the basis of audits done by its agencies;

  • (vi) use and practice intellectual property developed in the performance of a government contract or subcontract;

  • (vii) claim rights to intellectual property not properly protected pursuant applicable contract terms;

  • (viii) seek penalties and fines exceeding the value of a contract for contract activity that results in the submission of a false claim to the government;

  • (ix) debar the Company or its subsidiaries because of legal and other actions undertaken by or against the Company or its subsidiaries, the Company’s officers, directors, shareholders,

25

employees and affiliates, or convictions of the Company’s officers, directors, shareholders, employees or affiliates; and

(x) inquire about and investigate business practices and audit compliance with applicable rules and regulations.

(k)

Contracts in general

There are a number of risks associated with contracts entered into by the Company, including the risk that those contracts may contain unfavourable provisions, or be terminated, lost or impaired, or renewed on less favourable terms.

(l)

Supply

The Company may experience delivery delays or inability to perform if its contract or component manufacturers fail to deliver conforming products to plan. The Company’s products are currently manufactured in house; however, a contract manufacturer may be used in the future for production. Any operational issues that any future manufacturer incurs may affect the delivery of the products. The Company may depend on any future manufacturer to adjust operations accordingly with demand of the products to ensure no back log in production. There may also be a risk with working with only one future manufacturer, in that suspension or termination of the agreement to produce will temporary halt all deliveries until an issue is resolved or a new agreement is made with another manufacturer.

(m)

Product liability

As with all new products, there is no assurance that unforeseen adverse events or manufacturing defects will not arise in the Company’s products. Adverse events could expose the Company to product liability claims or litigation, resulting in the removal of regulatory approval for the relevant products and/or monetary damages being awarded against the Company. In such event, the Company's liability may exceed the Company's insurance coverage, if any.

(n) Litigation

The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including, but not limited to, intellectual property ownership disputes, contractual claims, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position.

(o)

Environmental

The Company’s operations are subject to government environmental legislation. While environmental issues are continually monitored to minimise the likelihood of risk there is no assurance that the Company’s operations will not be affected by an environmental incident or subject to environmental liabilities. The introduction of new environmental legislation and regulations may result in additional cost to the Company arising from additional compliance, further capital expenditure and

26

monitoring which may have a material adverse impact on the financial position and performance of the Company.

(p) Data loss, theft or corruption

The Company stores data in its own systems and networks and also with a variety of third-party service providers. Exploitation or hacking of any of these systems or networks could lead to corruption, theft or loss of the data which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results. Further, if the Company’s systems, networks or technology are subject to any type of ‘cyber’ crime, its technology may be perceived as unsecure which may lead to a decrease in the number of customers.

(q) Foreign exchange

The Company will be operating in a variety of jurisdictions, including the United States of America and Australia, and as such, expects to generate revenue and incur costs and expenses in more than one currency. Consequently, movements in currency exchange rates may adversely or beneficially affect the Company’s results or operations and cash flows. For example, the appreciation or depreciation of the US dollar relative to the Australian dollar would result in a foreign currency loss or gain. Any depreciation of currencies in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates may result in lower than anticipated revenue, profit and earnings of the Company.

(r)

Insurance coverage

The Company faces various risks in conducting its business and may lack adequate insurance coverage or may not have the relevant insurance coverage. The Company will need to review its insurance requirements periodically. If the Company incurs substantial losses or liabilities and its insurance coverage is unavailable or inadequate to cover such losses or liabilities, the Company’s financial position and financial performance may be adversely affected. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.

7.3 General Risks

(a) Economic conditions and other global or national issues

General economic conditions, laws relating to taxation, new legislation, trade barriers, movements in interest and inflation rates, currency exchange controls and rates, national and international political circumstances (including wars, terrorist acts, sabotage, subversive activities, security operations, labour unrest, civil disorder, and states of emergency), natural disasters (including fires, earthquakes and floods), and quarantine restrictions, epidemics and pandemics, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

27

(b) 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:

  • general economic outlook;

  • introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;

  • interest rates and inflation rates;

  • changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • 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 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.

Further, the value of the Shares may fluctuate more sharply than that of other securities, given the low per Share pricing of the Shares under the Prospectus, and the fact that investment in the Company is highly speculative.

(c)

Price of Shares

As a publicly-listed company on ASX, the Company will be subject to general market risk that is inherent in all securities listed on a stock exchange. This may result in fluctuations in its Share price. The price at which Shares are quoted on ASX may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. These factors may cause the Shares to trade at prices below the Offer price.

100,000,001 of the Company’s Shares were released from escrow on 28 April 2019. After the end of escrow periods affecting Shares in the Company, a significant sale of then tradeable Shares (or the market perception that such a sale might occur) could have an adverse effect on the Company’s Share price.

(d)

Investment speculative

The risk factors set out in this Prospectus ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. These factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.

28

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

8.1 Litigation

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

8.2 Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.

This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms a “transaction specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:

  • (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

  • (b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and

  • (c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

30

  • (i) the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with the ASIC;

  • (ii) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with the ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC; and

  • (iii) any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office hours.

Details of documents lodged by the Company with ASX since the date of lodgement of the Company’s latest annual financial report and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC are set out in the table below.

The Lead Manager Mandate may be terminated:

  • (a) by the Company in the event Brentridge commits a material breach that remains unremedied for a period of ten business days after notification or without cause on or before 6 May 2019; and

  • (b) by Brentridge at any time by giving ten business days written notification to the Company.

The Company has also agreed to offer Brentridge the role of lead manager/ corporate adviser in any further equity capital raising undertaken by the Company within 36 months of the date of completion of the Offer, subject to

Remuneration

The remuneration of an executive Director is decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process. The total maximum remuneration of non-executive Directors is initially set by the Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director. The current amount has been set at an amount not to exceed $300,000 per annum.

A Director may be paid fees or other amounts (i.e. non-cash performance incentives such as Options, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval) as the other Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. In addition, Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.

The following table shows the total (and proposed) annual remuneration paid to both executive and non-executive directors.

8.11 Electronic prospectus

If you have received this Prospectus as an electronic Prospectus, please ensure that you have received the entire Prospectus accompanied by the Application Forms. If you have not, please phone the Company on +61 2 8880 5130 and the Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of the Prospectus, or both. Alternatively, you may obtain a copy of this Prospectus from the Company’s website at www.aquabotix.com.

The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.

8.12

Financial forecasts

The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.

8.13 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company will not be issuing share certificates. The Company is a participant in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Shares issued 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.

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

8.14

Privacy Act

If you complete an application for Shares, 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 holder of equity securities in the Company, facilitate

37

distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder and carry out administration.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities 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 ASX Settlement Operating Rules. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for Shares, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.
