This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 10.00am (WST) on Wednesday, 16 March 2011 at Unit 1, 34 Kings Park Road, West Perth WA 6005.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – SHARES
1.1 General
On 23 December 2010, the Company issued 10,748,439 Shares. The subscribers pursuant to this issue were sophisticated and professional investors and none of these subscribers were related parties to the Company.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares (Share Ratification).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
1.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Share Ratification:
- (a) 10,748,439 Shares were allotted and issued;
- (b) the issue price of the Shares was $0.07 ( 7 cents) each;
- (c) the Shares issued were fully paid and rank pari passu with existing Shares;

Instructions for Completing 'Appointment of Proxy' Form
-
- (Appointing a Proxy): A member entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on a poll on their behalf. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member's voting rights. If a member appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company.
-
- (Direction to Vote): A member may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
3. (Signing Instructions):
- (Individual): Where the holding is in one name, the member must sign.
- (Joint Holding): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the members should sign.
- (Power of Attorney): If you have not already provided the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
