2. LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders,

As you may be aware, on 31 December 2009, voluntary administrators were appointed by the Company to assume control of the business, property and affairs of the Company. Subsequently on 6 January 2010 the wholly owned subsidiaries, OMI Manufacturing Pty Ltd and OMI Research Pty Ltd, were placed into liquidation.

Prior to the appointment of voluntary administrators, Retractable Technologies Inc. (RTI), a US corporation, commenced litigation against the Company in a Texas District Court alleging that the Company utilised RTI’s trade secrets and infringed its patents through the use of the Company’s auto-retractable safety syringe. In December 2009, the jury found in favour of RTI, and on 4 March 2010, US District Judge Leonard Davis awarded US$3.15 million damages in RTI’s favour.

On 6 May 2010, the Company, Sun Biomedical Limited (ASX Code: SBN) (Sun Biomedical) and the Deed Administrators entered into a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA). The full terms of the DOCA were released to ASX on 8 June 2010. The DOCA proposes the restructure and recapitalisation of the Company with a view to reinstating the Company’s Shares to official quotation on the ASX (Proposal) . ASX has absolute discretion in reinstating the Company’s Shares to official quotation and the ASX and the Company give no guarantee that reinstatement will occur.

1. Terms of the Proposal

The Proposal, which is set out in part in the Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Notes, will involve the following:

  • (a) the Consolidation of the Company’s issued securities on a one for five basis, following which the Company will have approximately 9,057 394 Shares on issue (Resolution 1) ;

  • (b) the Company undertaking the following two capital raisings:

  • (i) (Tranche 1 Placement) the placement of 60 million Shares at a price of $0.0025 per Share together with 60 million free attaching Options exercisable at $0.005 per Option on or before 31 December 2013, to raise a total of $150,000 (Resolution 2) ; and

  • (ii) (Tranche 2 Placement) the placement of 330 million Shares at a price of $0.005 per Share to raise $1,650,000 (with $115,000 of the funds raised to be paid to the creditors’ pool under the Creditors’ Trust) on or before 6 September 2010 plus oversubscriptions of up to 150 million Shares to raise up to a further $750,000 (Resolution 3) ;

Page 3

  • (c) the appointment of new Directors nominated by Sun Biomedical, being Mr Terry Cuthbertson, Mr Gary Stewart and Mr Michael Doery (Resolutions 4 to 6) ; and

  • (d) the change of the Company’s name to ‘OMI Holdings Limited’ ( Resolution 8 ).

It was also proposed under the DOCA that the existing Directors of the Company resign or be removed by resolution as Directors of the Company. Following discussions it has been agreed with the proposed incoming directors that Mr Michael Brooks will remain as a Director of the Company. Two other Directors of the Company, Mrs Elaine Brooks and Mr Donald Mackenzie, have tendered their resignations as Directors, effective immediately following approval of Resolutions 4, 5 and 6.

The other Director of the Company, Mr David Shirley, has not tendered his resignation as a Director and accordingly Resolution 7 proposes his removal as a Director of the Company.

Please note the implementation of the Proposal is dependant on the passing of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 in this Notice of General Meeting. Should one or more of Resolutions 1, 2 or 3 not be approved by Shareholders, the Proposal will not be implemented.

2. Impact of Deed of Company Arrangement and Creditors Trust

On 21 April 2010, Sun Biomedical advanced $15,000 in loan funds to the Company Sun Biomedical may also at its election advance certain other funds to the Company to pursue the Company’s business objectives and fund its operations until the Company achieves its recapitalisation. The loan funds are only repayable by the Company in the event the Company is recapitalised, and are not repayable by the Deed Administrators. It is proposed that the loan funds will be repaid upon recapitalisation, and may be repaid via a debt to equity conversion under either the Tranche 1 or Tranche 2 Placement.

On 6 May 2010, the Company, Sun Biomedical and the Deed Administrators entered into the DOCA, under which the Deed Administrators are to be advanced $130,000 (of which $15,000 has been advanced by Sun Biomedical), for contribution to the Creditors Trust to settle outstanding claims made by creditors of the Company. It is also proposed under the DOCA that the following occur:

  • (a) Shareholder approval is obtained to implement the Proposal;

  • (b) as part of the Tranche 2 Placement, $115,000 will be paid to the Deed Administrators as the balance of the $130,000 that is to be contributed to the Creditors Trust;

Page 4

  • (c) under the Creditors Trust, the Deed Administrator may make a payment to the Company’s creditors in full and final satisfaction and in complete discharge of all claims which the Company’s creditors may have against the Company. Once these payments have been made the Company will have no outstanding creditors.

3. Pro Forma Capital Structure

6. Proposed Business Activities

(a) Patents held by the Company

The Company currently owns the following patents:

Page 7

Name Number Country Status
Syringe dispenser 7104400 United States Registered
A single use syringe 7544182 United States Registered
with improved-needle
retraction
A syringe with rear 2007200919 Australia Application
plunger lock filed
A syringe with rear 198/2008 Pakistan Examination
plunger lock report received

Should the Resolutions be passed, the Company proposes to pursue the commercialisation of products using these patents. In particular, the Company has developed a prototype product utilising United States Patent 7104400 (commercially known as “OMI Sharpsafe[TM] ”) that it proposes to commercialise immediately following the Company’s recapitalisation.

(b) About OMI Sharpsafe[TM]

Background

Medical syringe containers (also known as needle cases) have been available around the world for a long time. These containers function to protect the enclosed syringes from damage prior to use. Typically, the container comprises of a rigid housing in which a number of syringes are held. The housing can be opened and any number of syringes can be removed from it. It is also possible for these containers to accommodate used syringes.

A significant disadvantage of these containers is that they are not suitable for use with a needle exchange program. In a needle exchange program, a new needle (that is a syringe containing a needle) is given only when a used syringe is returned. With existing medical syringe containers, there is no mechanism to ensure that a used syringe is returned prior to a new syringe being given.

There is also the temptation for users to try to obtain new syringes without returning used syringes. Conventional containers do not have security measures against this type of abuse. Even if the container is locked, it can be forced open and a new syringe can be removed.

What is OMI Sharpsafe[TM ]

OMI Sharpsafe[TM] is an innovative medical syringe container. It differentiates itself from current designs in that the design does not allow access to a new syringe until a used syringe has been returned to the container. OMI

Page 8

Sharpsafe[TM] may therefore overcome one of the main disadvantages associated with existing medical syringe containers.

==> picture [229 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [229 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

OMI Sharpsafe[TM] typically holds between 2 to 10 conventional syringes and syringes with a needle stick prevention device. The inlet of the container is restricted such that it only allows syringes to be inserted through that inlet. This reduces the likelihood of success of a person attempting to insert an object other than a syringe to try to gain access to a new syringe. If a user does attempt to prise open the container, a snap mechanism is triggered and all syringes contained in the container are rendered inoperative.

Potential market for OMI Sharpsafe[TM]

OMI Sharpsafe[TM] is designed to ensure the safe use of syringes both within and outside of direct medical supervision by providing a simple and effective way to safely store new and used syringes. The design is therefore particularly suited for use with needle exchange programs.

The estimated current global syringe sales is approximately US$5 billion (30 billion units) per annum, including US$1.24 billion (3 billion units) in the United States and US$103 million (200 million units) in Australia. This means the market size for syringes is approximately 10 times a country's population.

The substantial volume of syringes consumed each year has resulted in a greater number of injuries arising from the use of syringes. This has therefore become a

Page 9

catalyst for greater opportunities in the retractable-syringes market. In turn, OMI Sharpsafe[TM] is well positioned to assist in the prevention of needle stick injuries even further.

Commercialisation plans for OMI Sharpsafe[TM ]

In addition to its own resources, subject to implementation of the Proposal the Company has negotiated to engage Chelsea Medical Pty Ltd ( Chelsea Medical ) to assist in the process of commercialising OMI Sharpsafe[TM] . Of particular significance is the fact that Chelsea Medical employs Mr Bruce Keene, the original founder of the Company and principal architect of the OMI Sharpsafe[TM] . Chelsea Medical also employs Mr Glenn Smith, who, as a former employee of the Company, brings significant experience in the development of domestic and offshore markets for medical products such as OMI Sharpsafe[TM] .

Further details of the proposed services agreement with Chelsea Medical are outlined in section 6(d). It is intended that the services agreement be executed by the Company following implementation of the Proposal.

(c) Patents previously held by the Company

On or about 19 April 2010 and 21 April 2010, the Deed Administrators entered into asset sale agreements with Southmedic Incorporated and Just Innovative Layouts Pty Ltd respectively in relation to the transfer of certain patents held by the Company pertaining to a surgical scalpel with a retractable guard and a safety syringe respectively.

(d) Services agreement with Chelsea Medical Pty Ltd

Subject to the implementation of the Proposal, the Company and Chelsea Medical proposes to enter into a services agreement whereby Chelsea Medical will provide services to the Company, in particular in relation to the commercialisation of United States Patent 7104400, such as:

  • (i) marketing intelligence;

  • (ii) assistance, research and commercialisation of the Company’s patents and intellectual property;

  • (iii) arrange the manufacturing logistics and negotiations with the manufacturer of medical devices and pharmaceutical products;

  • (iv) prepare drawings and diagrams for the Products and the design of moulds for the products;

Page 10

  • (v) provide assistance in obtaining any FDA Clearance or TGA Approvals that may be required for the products;

  • (vi) marketing of the products through wholesale channels; and

  • (vii) assist and advise in relation to strategies for the distribution of the products.

As consideration for Chelsea Medical providing the services, the Company will pay an Initial Fee of $50,000 plus GST, and a Minimum Monthly Fee of $2,000 plus GST paid each month.

The agreement also contemplates that within 3 months of the agreement, the Company and Chelsea Medical will negotiate the following agreements:

  • (viii) a distribution arrangement whereby the Company may appoint Chelsea Medical to act as a distributor for the products; and

  • (ix) a product development agreement whereby the Company may appoint Chelsea Medical to further develop the products.

The Company anticipates that the services agreement with Chelsea Medical Pty Ltd, together with the subsequent a distribution arrangement and product development agreement, will enable the Company to pursue its business objectives and the commercialisation of its products.

7. Reinstatement to Quotation

Subject to the Resolutions being passed at the General Meeting, the Company intends to seek reinstatement of quotation of its Shares on the ASX and the Company will therefore need to satisfy the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules. ASX has absolute discretion in reinstating the Company’s Shares to official quotation and the ASX and the Company give no guarantee that reinstatement will occur.

8. Summary

Shareholders should take into consideration the current financial status of the Company when deciding on the Resolutions set out in this Notice of General Meeting. In particular, Shareholders are reminded that the Company has been suspended from quotation on the ASX since 1 October 2009. The Company requires sufficient recapitalisation to continue its operations and re-quotation of its Shares on the ASX. Shareholders are encouraged to give careful considerations to the Resolutions contained in the Notice of General Meeting and the contents of the Explanatory Notes.

Page 11

If Shareholders pass all the Resolutions and they are implemented, the Company will be able to discharge its liabilities and will be able to continue with certain business operations. It will also be able to apply for re-quotation of its Shares on the ASX.

The Deed Administrators consider the Proposal a genuine opportunity to allow the Company to continue certain business activities. If the Resolutions are not approved by Shareholders, then the Proposal will not be implemented and the DOCA will be terminated with the company being placed into liquidation. In the event that the Company is liquidated, Shareholders are expected to not receive any return on their investment.

Should shareholders wish to discuss or have any queries regarding the Proposal please contact Andrew McMillian of Patersons Corporate Finance on +61 8 9263 1211.

Yours faithfully,

4. EXPLANATORY NOTES

These Explanatory Notes have been prepared to assist Shareholders in understanding the Resolutions to be put to them at the forthcoming General Meeting of Occupational & Medical Innovations Limited (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) (ACN 091 192 871) ( Company ), which will be held at the Brisbane Polo Club, Kingston Room, 1 Eagle Street, Brisbane, Queensland on Monday, 26 July 2010 at 11.00am AEST.

The Notice of General Meeting should be read in conjunction with these Explanatory Notes as these Explanatory Notes contain important information on the proposed Resolutions.

Please note the implementation of the Proposal is dependant on the passing of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 in this Notice of General Meeting. Should one or more of Resolutions 1, 2 or 3 not be approved by Shareholders, the Proposal will not be implemented.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – CONSOLIDATION OF SHARES ON A ONE FOR FIVE BASIS

1.1. Approval

Approval is sought to consolidate the Company’s share capital on a one for five basis. If Resolution 1 is passed, the number of Shares the Company will have on issue will be reduced from 45,286,974 to approximately 9,057,394 (subject to rounding up to the nearest whole Share).

The Company’s most recent Appendix 3B lodged with the ASX on 20 August 2009 stated that the Company had 45,752,493 Shares on issue. Following reconciliation with the Company’s share registry, Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited, the actual number of Shares the Company has on issue is 45,286,974. The inconsistency in the number of Shares on issue was caused by an administrative error. The Company confirms that it has not undertaken a buyback, cancellation of Shares or any other act resulting in a reduction of the number of Shares on issue.

1.2. Reason for Seeking Approval

Under section 254H of the Corporations Act, a company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert any or all of its shares into larger or smaller parcels. Approval is now sought pursuant to this section.

1.3. Effect of Consolidation

The effect of the Consolidation is set out in the Letter to the Shareholders under section 2.4 of this Notice of General Meeting.

Page 15

1.4. Holding statements

All holding statements will cease to have effect from the date of Consolidation other than as evidence of a Shareholder’s entitlement to a particular Share parcel following Consolidation. Once the Consolidation has been implemented, the Company will arrange for new holding statements to be issued to every eligible Shareholder. It is the responsibility of each Shareholder to check the number of Shares held prior to their disposal.

1.5. Fractional entitlement

Where a Shareholder’s parcel cannot be evenly divided by five thereby causing a fractional entitlement, the Company will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Share.

1.6. Indicative timetable

If Resolution 1 is passed, Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the following indicative timetable (as set out in paragraph 5 of Appendix 7A of the ASX Listing Rules).

Event Date – 2010
Company dispatches Notice of General Meeting and announces 25 June

(a) dispatch notice to Shareholders informing of Consolidation;
(b) issue new holding statements to Shareholders; and
(c) register Shares on a post-Consolidation basis.
Despatch date. Deferred settlement market ends. 12 August

1.7. Taxation

There should not be any taxation implications for Shareholders arising from the Consolidation. However, as individual circumstances will vary, Shareholders are strongly advised to seek their own independent advice on the taxation effects of Consolidation. The Company, the Deed Administrators and their advisors do not accept responsibility for any taxation consequences that may arise for any Shareholder as a result of Consolidation.

Page 16

2. RESOLUTION 2 - TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT

2.1. Approval

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1, approval is sought for the issue of:

  • (a) 60,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.0025 per Share; together with

  • (b) 60,000,000 free attaching Options exercisable at $0.005 per Option on or before 31 December 2013,

to raise $150,000, where both issues are to occur following the Consolidation proposed under Resolution 1.

It is the present intention of Patersons Securities Limited ( Patersons ) or its nominees to subscribe for all the Shares (together with the free attaching Options) to be issued under the Tranche 1 Placement. It is not known at this time whether Patersons or nominee will increase their relevant interest in the Company from 20% or below to more than 20%. If it is proposed that a nominee’s relevant interest will exceed the 20% threshold, Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 6 of Corporations Act will be sought.

In addition, Shareholders should also note that it is the present intention of Sun Biomedical to participate in the Tranche 1 Placement. To this end, as part of the Tranche 2 Placement, Sun Biomedical may at its election seek repayment of the loan funds advanced by Sun Biomedical to the Company via a debt for equity conversion.

2.2. Reason for Seeking Approval

Subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of securities that a company may issue without shareholder approval in any 12 month period up to 15% of its issued securities.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will issue the Shares and Options pursuant to the Tranche 1 Placement within 3 months of the General Meeting (or a longer period if permitted by the ASX), without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity.

The information required under ASX Listing Rule 7.3 in connection with Resolution 2 is detailed below.

2.3. Number of Securities

The number of securities for which Shareholder approval is being sought is 60,000,000 Shares and 60,000,000 Options.

Page 17

2.4. Date of Issue

The Shares and Options will be issued within 3 months of the General Meeting.

2.5. Consideration

The Shares (together with the free attaching Options) will be issued at an issue price of $0.0025 per Share.

2.6. Allotment

The Shares will be issued pursuant to a Prospectus to be lodged with ASIC by the Company following this General Meeting. The Company, in conjunction with Patersons, will issue the Shares and Options to sophisticated and professional investors who are clients of Patersons or who have otherwise been identified to the Company. Sun Biomedical may also participate in the Tranche 1 Placement.

2.7. Terms of the Securities Issued

The Shares to be issued will rank equally with the Company’s Shares on issue.

The Options to be issued will have an exercise price of $0.005 per Option, exercisable on or before 31 December 2013. Full terms of the Options are annexed this Notice of General Meeting at ‘Annexure A’.

2.8.

Use of Funds

The funds will be used by the Company in the manner set out in the Letter to Shareholders under section 2.5 of this Notice of General Meeting.

2.9. Voting Exclusion Statement
