EXPLANATORY NOTES

1. Background

1.1 Share Sale Agreement

As detailed in the Company's announcement of 10 November 2014 (Announcement), the Company has entered into the Share Sale Agreement to acquire 50% of the issued share capital in REMSAFE (Acquisition).

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Sale Agreement, the consideration for the Acquisition, being $5,000,000 may be satisfied, at the election of the Company, wholly in cash or in partly in cash and the issue of Shares.

If the Company elects to pay partly in cash and by issuing Shares to the Vendor, the Company will make a cash payment of $4,000,000 and issue an amount of Shares equal to $1,000,000 at an issue price of $0.25 per Share (being 4,000,000 Shares) to the Vendor.

The Board has not yet determined whether it will satisfy the consideration for the Acquisition wholly in cash or in part cash and the issue of Shares.

The Share Sale Agreement is subject to a number of conditions being satisfied prior to completion. Such conditions include that the Company must raise appropriate capital or obtain finance to satisfy the consideration payable to the Vendor.

Subject to the completion of the Acquisition, the Company will also enter into a shareholders agreement with Mr Michael Lane, who is the holder of other 50% holding in the share capital of REMSAFE.

For further details in respect of the Acquisition refer to the Announcement.

1.2 REMSAFE

REMSAFE was established by Messrs Michael Lane and Nick Bertucci to develop and sell a high voltage electrical isolation product. The product provides a compelling solution to major mining companies who need to respond to growing industry pressure to improve productivity and reduce operating costs while also looking for innovation to provide a safer working environment. The business of REMSAFE will continue to trade as "REMSAFE" and will be incorporated into the Company's expanding portfolio of products.

The Board is of the opinion that REMSAFE fits within the Company's strategic plan and intends to utilise the Company's commercialisation experience to leverage growth opportunities for the REMSAFE business.

Refer to the Announcement for further details in respect to REMSAFE.

1.3 Convertible Notes

On 17 December 2014, the Company announced its intention to conduct a capital raising through the issue of Convertible Notes to a small number of Sophisticated Investors and/or Professional Investors to raise a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and a maximum amount of $10,000,000 (before costs) (Convertible Note Offer).

The Convertible Note Offer will not be underwritten. Azure Capital Limited is acting as lead manager for the Convertible Note Offer and will be issued no more than 2,000,000 Shares in lieu of a cash payment for its services. The actual number of Shares issued to Azure Capital Limited will be dependant upon the amounts subscribed to pursuant to the Convertible Note Offer. The Company intends to issue the Shares to Azure Capital Limited within its 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and accordingly does not need approval from Shareholders.

Funds raised from the Convertible Note Offer will be utilised by the Company to satisfy the consideration obligations pursuant to the terms of the Share Sale Agreement. Any funds raised in excess will be utilised by the Company as general working capital.

The terms of the Convertible Notes are detailed in Schedule 2. A summary of the key terms is as follows:

Face Value: $50,000 per Convertible Note.

Maturity Date: The date that is 24 months after the Issue Date.

Interest: 10% per annum payable quarterly to Holders, in cash or as Interest Shares, at the election of the Holders subject to applicable law and regulation. The number of Interest Shares to


EXPLANATORY NOTES

be issued to a Holder, so electing, will be equal to the amount of interest due divided by the Issue Price Formula.

Redemption: Redeemable by the Holders at the Maturity Date or on specified events of default. Early redemption provisions available for the Company to redeem at any time during the period commencing 6 months from the Issue date and ending on the Maturity Date.

Conversion: Convertible by the Holder into Shares at any time from the Issue Date on the basis of the following formula:

$$
S = \frac{(FV - T)}{CP}
$$

Where:

S = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder;

T = the necessary amount required to be withheld for any tax;

FV = the relevant aggregate face value of the Notes to be converted into Shares and issued to the Holder; and

CP = $0.40.

Security: First ranking security granted to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders.

1.4 Implications of the Convertible Note Offer and the issue of Interest Shares

If Resolution 2 is passed by Shareholders, Holders may elect to covert the Convertible Notes at any time from the Issue Date up to the Maturity Date.

Assuming that:

(a) all Notes are converted to Shares by all Holders; and
(b) the maximum amount of $10,000,000 is raised by the Convertible Note Offer,

the indicative capital structure of the Company will be as follows:

Shares on issue Number / Amount
Total Shares currently on issue 48,927,334^{1}
Number of Shares to be issued to all Holders upon conversion of the Notes (excluding interest) 25,000,000
Total Shares on issue post issue of Shares in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes 73,927,334
Maximum dilution effect for existing Shareholders 33.8%

These numbers assume no additional Shares are issued by the Company and no other convertible securities are converted.

This includes the number of Shares on issues as at the date of this Notice and the 4,000,000 Shares which may be issued to the Vendor.


EXPLANATORY NOTES

In the event that Holders elect to exercise their rights to convert the Convertible Notes, the exact dilution of shareholding of existing Shareholders will ultimately depend on:

(a) whether Holders exercise their right to convert the Convertible Notes;
(b) the extent to which Holders exercise their right to convert the Convertible Notes;
(c) the extent to which the Holders have elected to be issued Interest Shares in satisfaction of interest due and payable by the Company to the Holders; and
(d) the number of Shares on issue at the time the Convertible Notes are converted into Shares.

The impact of the issue of Interest Shares on the dilution effect to existing Shareholders is more difficult to demonstrate as the issue price of the Interest Shares is to be calculated in the future, based on the Issue Price Formula.

The trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 6 months before the date of the Notice is set out below:

Price $ Date
Highest $0.48 20 November 2014
Lowest $0.14 16 June 2014
Last $0.32 12 December 2014

Accordingly, the table below has been included to show the dilution effect which would occur based on:

(a) Scenario 1 – issue price of $0.43, being 90% of the highest trading price of the Company in the 6 months prior to the date of the Notice.
(b) Scenario 2 – issue price of $0.13, being 90% of the lowest trading price of the Company in the 6 months prior to the date of the Notice.
(c) Scenario 3 – issue price of $0.29, being 90% of the trading price of the Company on 12 December 2014.

The table assumes that:

(a) No Convertible Notes are redeemed early or converted into Shares in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes;
(b) The maximum amount of $10,000,000 is raised by the Convertible Note Offer;
(c) Holders elect to have all interest satisfied by the issue of Interest Shares; and
(d) The election to be issued Interest Shares does not breach the terms of the Convertible Notes, the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other applicable laws,

the indicative capital structure of the Company will be as follows:


EXPLANATORY NOTES

Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3
Total number of Shares on issue 48,927,334² 48,927,334³ 48,927,334⁴
Total number of Interest Shares to be issued 4,651,162 15,384,615 6,896,551
Total number of Shares on issue following the issue of Interest Shares 53,578,496 64,311,949 55,823,885
Maximum dilution effect for existing Shareholders 8.68% 23.92% 12.35%

As the number of Interest Shares to be issued cannot be conclusively calculated at this time given the variables described above, the table has been included to give an indication of the dilution effect that issue of the Interest Shares may have on existing Shareholders based on the set of assumptions. In practice, these assumptions and the variables described above are likely to change, so the table above should be treated as an example only.

1.5 Waivers from Listing Rules

The Company obtained waiver from the requirements of the following Listing Rules 7.3.2, 7.3.3, 10.13.3 and 10.13.5. These waivers were obtained from technical requirements regarding the timing of the issuance of the Interest Shares and the formula for calculating the issue price of the Interest Shares.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – Approval for the issue of Shares to the Vendor

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 4,000,000 Shares to the Vendor pursuant to the terms of the Share Sale Agreement.

The Convertible Notes are Equity Securities for the purposes of the Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Convertible Notes pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes during the period of 3 months after the Meeting without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

(b) The adjustments in this clause 5.7 of these Terms will, subject to the Listing Rules, be determined by the Issuer.

5.8 Bonus Share issue

Where the Issuer declares a bonus Share issue, at any time after the issue of a Note and prior to the issue of a Conversion Notice, Redemption Notice or Early Redemption Notice, the basis for conversion of the Notes detailed these Terms will be adjusted by the number of bonus Shares that a Holder would have received if the Note had been exercised prior to the record date for the bonus issue. The Issuer will notify the Trustee and Holders of any such adjustment. No change will be made to the Conversion Rate.

5.9 Non Voting

The Notes do not confer on the Holders any rights to attend or vote at general meetings of shareholders of the Issuer (unless provided for by the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act) but the Issuer will send to Holders copies of all material that the Issuer sends to its ordinary shareholders.

6. Foreign Holders

Where Notes are held by or on behalf of a person resident outside Australia, then, despite any other terms or conditions applicable to such Notes, it will be a condition precedent to the right of the Holder to receive payment of any amount payable under these terms or to obtain Shares on conversion that the requirements of all applicable laws of the Commonwealth of Australia or any of its States or Territories and of the country of residence of the Holder in respect of such payment or conversion are satisfied so that such payment or conversion will not result in a breach of any such applicable law by the Issuer (any such requirements must be satisfied by the Holder at its own cost).

7. Transfers

7.1 Form of transfer

Subject to the terms of the Trust Deed, including without limitation to clause 7 of the Trust Deed, a Holder may transfer all or any of the Notes the Holder holds by a written instrument of transfer in a form that the directors of the Issuer approve, provided it complies with the requirements of the Corporations Act and by providing written notice to the Issuer of at least 5 Business Days prior to the purported transfer.

7.2 Registration of transfers

A transferor of Notes remains the owner of Notes transferred until the transfer is registered and the name of the transferee is entered into the Register in respect of Notes, and the transferee of Notes on being entered on the Register shall have all the rights and obligations which the transferor had and all the rights and obligations of a Holder under this Trust Deed.

7.3 Increased costs

If:

(a) a Holder transfers any or all Notes that it holds; and
(b) the Issuer is required to make a payment because of a Regulatory Change after the date of the transfer to the transferee,

then the Issuer is only required to make that payment up to the amount that would have been payable had the transfer not occurred.

8.2 Grace period
