Risks

As with any share investment, there are risks associated with investing in the Company. The principal risks that could affect the performance of the Company are detailed in Section 7 of this Prospectus. The Shares on offer under this Prospectus should be considered speculative. Accordingly, before deciding to invest in the Company, Applicants should read this Prospectus in its entirety and should consider all factors in light of their individual circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice. Investors may lose some or all of the investment.

Specific risks that investors should consider include the following:

  • On completion of the Offers the Company will have a significant cash reserve. The Directors intend to continue development of the existing NutriMix® business within Australia. The Directors will also investigate new investment opportunities. Significant risks exist in relation to the Directors’ ability to identify suitable opportunities and then successfully exploit those opportunities.

  • The Company has incurred significant losses in the past resulting in it being placed into Administration. It is not possible to evaluate the Company’s future prospects based on past performance. This past performance should not impact the future opportunities for the Company. However the Company does expect to make losses in the immediate future as it develops the NutriMix® business and considers other investment opportunities. Factors that will determine the Company’s future profitability are its ability to identify and successfully acquire new investment opportunities, to manage its costs, to execute its development and growth strategies and to be aware of, and manage the Company through, the actions of competitors and regulatory developments. As a result, the extent of future profits, if any, and the time required to achieve sustainable profitability, is uncertain. In addition, the level of any such future profitability cannot be predicted and may vary significantly from period to period.

  • The Company may require further funding in the future and there can be no assurance that further funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Any inability to obtain funding will adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company and, consequently, its performance.

  • The Company was suspended from the official list of ASX on 2 March 2009 and was subsequently placed in administration on 1 April 2009. The Company did not comply with its financial reporting obligations immediately prior to, and during the period of, its administration. It has recently lodged the half-year financial reports for 31 December 2008 and 31 December 2009, but has not lodged the full-year financial report for the year ending 30 June 2009, for which the Company has received a waiver from ASIC. Technically, this failure to lodge the financial reports means that the Company is in breach of its financial reporting requirements under Chapter 2M of the Corporations Act. Shareholders should be aware that this breach may attract liability and/or affect the Company’s operations going forward and may affect the Company’s ability to be reinstated to ASX. The Company has made an application to ASIC for a no action letter in respect of these reporting requirements, which ASIC has granted.

LETTER FROM THE DIRECTORS

March 8, 2010.

Dear Investor,

INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY

On behalf of the Directors of Soil Sub Technologies Limited (“Company”), I am pleased to present this Prospectus to you.

The Company held a General Meeting on 25 February 2010, whereby Shareholders overwhelmingly approved a number of resolutions to give effect to the Recapitalisation Proposal. The Recapitalisation Proposal will restructure the Company’s issued capital, terminate the current Deed of Company Arrangement and provide new working capital and a new direction for the Company.

The Offers pursuant to this Prospectus are subject to various conditions, summarised in Section 2.

This Prospectus seeks to raise $2.6 million. These funds will be used to pay various costs and payments associated with the Recapitalisation Proposal, to provide working capital to further develop the Company’s core business of manufacturing and marketing its NutriMix® product and to assist with the investigation of new investment opportunities.

Further information regarding the Company’s business and the Recapitalisation Proposal is contained in Section 3 of this Prospectus.

Details about the risks of an investment of this type are contained in Sections 1.13 and 7 of this Prospectus. Investors should obtain professional investment advice before deciding to invest. Please read this document carefully before making your investment decision.

It is recommended that you consider the terms of the Offers contained in this Prospectus. In doing so if you then choose to invest in the Company I welcome you as a security holder of the Company.

Yours faithfully

==> picture [534 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

Statements of shareholding will be dispatched as soon as possible after the Closing Date as required by ASX.

Applicants who sell the Shares before they receive their statement of shareholding will do so at their own risk.

1.10 APPLICATION MONIES TO BE HELD IN TRUST

The Application Monies for Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offers will be held in the Subscription Account on behalf of Applicants until the Shares are allotted. If the Offers are not fully subscribed within a period of three (3) months from the date of this Prospectus, the Application Monies will be refunded in full without interest, and no Shares will be allotted pursuant to this Prospectus. All interest earned on Application Monies (including those which do not result in allotment of Shares) will be retained by the Company.

1.11 ASX QUOTATATION AND REINSTATEMENT

The Company will apply to the ASX no later than seven (7) days from the date of this Prospectus to have the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus quoted on the Official List of the ASX.

If approval for quotation of the Shares on the Official List of ASX is not granted within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus the Company will not allot or issue any Shares or Options, and Application Monies will be refunded in full without interest in accordance with the Corporations Act.

Neither the ASX nor ASIC, or any of their respective officers, take responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. The fact that the ASX may grant official quotation to the Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus is not to be taken in any way as an indication by the ASX as to the merits of the Company or the Shares.

1.12 CHESS AND ISSUER SPONSORSHIP

The Company will operate an electronic CHESS sub-register and an electronic issuer sponsored sub-register. These two sub-registers will make up the Company’s register of Shares.

The Company will not issue share certificates to shareholders. Rather, holding statements (similar to bank statements) will be dispatched to shareholders as soon as practicable after allotment under this Prospectus. Holding statements will be sent either by CHESS (for Shareholders who elect to hold Shares on the CHESS sub-register) or by the Company’s Share Registry (for Shareholders who elect to hold their Shares on the issuer sponsored sub-register). The statements will set out the number of Shares allotted under this Prospectus and provide details of a Shareholder’s Holder Identification Number (for Shareholders who elect to hold shares on the CHESS sub register) or Shareholder Reference Number (for Shareholders who elect to hold their shares on the issuer sponsored sub-register). Updated holding statements will also be sent to each Shareholder following the month in which the balance of their shareholding changes and as required by law.

1.13 RISKS

As with any share investment, there are risks associated with investing in the Company. The principal risks that could affect the performance of the Company are detailed in Section 7 of this Prospectus. The Shares on offer under this Prospectus should be considered speculative. Accordingly, before deciding to invest in the Company, Applicants should read this Prospectus in its entirety and should consider all factors in light of their individual circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice. Investors may lose some or all of the investment.

Specific risks that investors should consider include the following:

  • The Directors intend to continue development of the Company’s NutriMix® product through trials and marketing activities, whilst also investigating new investment opportunities. Significant risks exist both in respect of the Director’s ability to successfully commercialise the NutriMix® product and in relation to the Directors’ ability to identify and successfully exploit investment opportunities.

12

==> picture [534 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

  • The ownership of a patent does not guarantee that the rights of others are not infringed or that competitors will not develop technology to avoid patent technology in respect of which the Company has rights. The patents expire at the end of their terms, after which the Company no longer has exclusive protection.

The Company’s business success will depend, in part, on its ability to rely on the patent in respect of which it has rights, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the privacy rights of third parties. As patents can be uncertain and frequently involve complex legal and factual issues, neither the breadth of claims allowed in patents nor their enforceability can be predicted. There can be no guarantee that any patent in respect of which the Company has rights to afford the Company commercially significant protection of its technology, of its product or have commercial applications.

  • The Company has incurred significant losses in the past resulting in it being placed into Administration. It is not possible to evaluate the Company’s future prospects based on past performance. This past performance should not impact the future opportunities for the Company. However the Company does expect to make losses in the immediate future as it develops the NutriMix® business and considers other investment opportunities. Factors that will determine the Company’s future profitability are its ability to identify and successfully acquire new investment opportunities, to manage its costs, to execute its development and growth strategies and to be aware of, and manage the Company through, the actions of competitors and regulatory developments. As a result, the extent of future profits, if any, and the time required to achieve sustainable profitability, is uncertain. In addition, the level of any such future profitability cannot be predicted and may vary significantly from period to period.

  • The Company may require further funding in the future and there can be no assurance that further funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Any inability to obtain funding will adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company and, consequently, its performance.

  • The Company was suspended from the Official List of ASX on 2 March 2009 and was subsequently placed in administration on 1 April 2009. The Company did not comply with its financial reporting obligations immediately prior to, and during the period of its administration. It has recently lodged the half-year financial reports for 31 December 2008 and 31 December 2009, but has not lodged the fullyear financial report for the year ending 30 June 2009, for which the Company has received a waiver from ASIC. Technically, this failure to lodge the financial reports means that the Company is in breach of its financial reporting requirements under Chapter 2M of the Corporations Act. Shareholders should be aware that this breach may attract liability and/or affect the Company’s operations going forward and may affect the Company’s ability to be reinstated to ASX. The Company has made an application to ASIC for a no action letter in respect of these reporting requirements, which ASIC has granted.

1.14 OVERSEAS INVESTORS

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to extend such an invitation. No action has been taken to register this Prospectus or otherwise to permit a public offering of Shares in any jurisdiction outside Australia. It is the responsibility of any non-Australian resident investors to obtain all necessary approvals for the issue to them of Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus.

1.15 PRIVACY DISCLOSURE

Persons who apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus are asked to provide personal information to the Company, either directly or through the Share Registry. The Company and the Share Registry collect, hold and use that personal information to assess Applications for Shares, to provide facilities and services to Shareholders, and to carry out various administrative functions. Access to the information collected may be provided to the Company’s agents and service providers and to ASIC and other regulatory bodies on the basis that they deal with such information in accordance with the relevant privacy laws. If the information requested is not supplied, Applications for Shares will not be processed. In accordance with privacy laws, information collected in relation to specific Shareholders can be obtained by that Shareholder through contacting the Company or the Share Registry.

The purpose of the Exposure Period is to enable the Prospectus to be examined by market participants prior to the raising of funds. The examination may result in the identification of deficiencies in the Prospectus. If deficiencies are detected, any Application that has been received may need to be dealt with in accordance with Section 724 of the Corporations Act. Applications received during the Exposure Period will not be processed until after expiration of the Exposure Period. No preference will be conferred on Applications received during the Exposure Period and all such Applications will be treated as if they were simultaneously received on the Opening Date.

1.17 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 financial projection 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.

3.3 RETAINED ASSETS, CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The NutriMix® Product has been progressively developed by the Company since 2001, though there has been no ongoing development during the Company’s period of Administration. The Directors plan to use the funds raised under the Offers to continue to market and develop the Company’s NutriMix® Product.

NutriMix® is a fully organic growing medium formula that has been patented and can be used to grow any plant without any need for natural soil and other associated landscaping products.

The product advantages of NutriMix® include:

  • Water management efficiencies

  • Macro nutrients present in slow release form, providing continued availability to plants for up to 3 years.

  • An acceptable nutrient profile for plant growing with good levels of all essential macro and micro nutrients.

Trials were held and reported as part of the original Prospectus (dated 21 December 2007) the specific objectives of which were:

  1. To study and compare the water characteristics of various NutriMix® mixtures;

  2. To study and compare water use grown in various NutriMix® mixtures using different irrigation systems;

  3. To study and compare the fertilizer use of grass grown in these mixtures; and

  4. To establish a comparison of nutrient uptake by the use of NutriMix® using no added fertilizer.

The trials were conducted with one trial in a laboratory and on 3 separate farms. The results and finding of these trials indicated that:

  • The water absorption capability of NutriMix® is large and generates high water use efficiency;

  • NutriMix® enhances the water characteristics of sandy soils, and thus increased the water holding capacity and the available water to the sandy soils;

  • Addition of NutriMix® has increased the fresh weight of paspalum grass in sandy soils; and

  • Addition of NutriMix® has also significantly increased the Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium uptake by paspalum grass in the sandy soils.

Studies such as these indicate that the product improves water use efficiency and nutrient use levels. The Directors, whilst recognizing the significance of offshore markets for such a product, plan to concentrate on the domestic Australian market, and consider the characteristics of the product to be of particular interest to users based in dryer areas, with high water consumption and cost and on sandy soils. Consequently, the product may well be suited to application on the sand belt golf courses as an example. There is also evident application in mine site rehabilitation throughout Australia, whilst municipalities throughout Australia who are becoming more conscious of water consumption for their parks and gardens may also consider the use of the product.

The Directors believe that the better commercial opportunity for development of the product is through the bulk market, rather than seeking retail sales of smaller bagged lots where the margins are often less, and marketing costs and competition greater.

17

==> picture [534 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

Prior to the Company being placed in Administration, there had been trials of the product within Australia that Directors wish to revisit as a precursor to re-trialling the product with possible large end consumers such as golf courses, mine site rehabilitation and municipalities.

The Company has access to a site in Colac, Victoria, where it is able to produce bulk samples of the product to be transported to the trial sites as identified. The Company will also retain specific expertise through the retention on a consulting basis of certain of the previous directors, and the inventor of the product, to ensure the product mixture is presented correctly and proposed trials are managed appropriately.

It is believed that results from the proposed trials should be seen within 3 months of commencing trials. However, it could be a 12 month timeframe before trials across a range of industries have been concluded, reported and assessed.

The Directors have no present intentions to change the business of the Company or to otherwise reapply the assets of the Company. However through the period of the trials the Directors will also actively investigating alternative investment opportunities complementary to or consistent with the current operations of the Company.

3.4 INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Although the Company’s primary focus is to continue with the development of its existing NutriMix® Assets, a significant portion of the Company’s assets will be comprised of cash. As such, disclosure is required regarding the expertise of the current Directors and more specifically, how this level of expertise will assist the Company in making investment decisions.

As noted in 3.3 above, the Directors intend to continue to develop the NutriMix® product through ongoing trials managed by a reputable and qualified agronomist in turn leading to a Feasibility Study to determine the optimal route to commercialization. On the conclusion of this program, and subject to report outcomes, the Company will establish a business centre in Australia, and possibly New Zealand, being the areas covered by the existing patents, before seeking to re-establish its contacts and marketing arrangements overseas.

The funds to be raised through this prospectus are planned to be utilized as follows:

  • the careful re-establishment of the Company’s existing business in Australia, commencing with trials of the NutriMix® product with target industries;

  • ongoing, but cautious, consideration of overseas markets and potential for the Company’s NutriMix® product; and

  • examination of alternative and additional investment opportunities.

The Directors have a broad range of commercial and public company experience, including the commercial development of technologies which will assist the development and commercialization of the NutriMix® product. They also plan to acquire specific horticultural and agronomic expertise through the retention of consultants in this field and have already identified suitable parties to assist with the establishment and management of the proposed trials.

The Directors also have broad experience in project development, finance and corporate transactions for various listed and non-listed entities, which will be relevant to the assessment of potential projects for the Company. The Directors consider that their contacts and relevant experience will provide assistance in attracting and securing new projects for investment and acquisition.

The Directors are committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and they will make themselves readily available to meet the requirements of the Company and its operations going forward. All of the Board members have been executive Directors, though the proposed Board structure as two nonexecutive Directors, whilst the Chairman will be an Executive Chairman. The Board will ensure that they devote sufficient time, attention and skill to the duties of this position and the Company’s business.

Other than the proposed expenditure budget detailed in Section 3.5, and the discussion of the development of the existing business in 3.2 and 3.3 above, there is no specific investment plan currently in place regarding the Company’s future intentions. Investment strategies may be adopted as and when suitable opportunities

18

==> picture [534 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

are identified by the Board. The Company may be subject to additional risks in the future relating to these investments that cannot be identified as at the date of this Prospectus.

3.5 EXPENDITURE BUDGET

In summary, the Company proposes to adopt the budget set out below in relation to funding the Company’s activities, providing funding for the acquisition and development of other investments (as identified by the Company) and meeting the administration costs of the Company and the expenses of the recapitalisation of the Company, including payments for the benefit of the Creditors pursuant to the DOCA.

BACKGROUND

The Company was incorporated on 1 May 1997 and was admitted to the Official List of ASX on 25 March 2008.

On 1 April 2009 the Administrators were appointed as the voluntary joint and several administrators of the Company pursuant to section 436A(1) of the Corporations Act, by resolution of the directors of the Company.

At a meeting of the Company’s creditors on 20 July 2009, the creditors resolved that the Company enter into a Deed of Company Arrangement (“DOCA”), which was executed on 10 August 2009.

On 18 August 2009, the Company and the Deed Administrators entered into a Reconstruction Deed with Trident Capital Pty Ltd (“Trident”).

A summary of the DOCA and the Reconstruction Deed is provided in Section 5 of this Prospectus and further details on the Company Background and Overview is provided in Section 3 of this Prospectus.

SCOPE OF REPORT

Bentleys has been requested to:

  • (a) report whether anything has come to our attention which would cause us to believe that the historical financial information disclosed in the appendices to this report is not fairly presented in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by Soil Sub, and

  • (b) report whether anything has come to our attention which would cause us to believe that the pro forma financial information disclosed in the appendices to this report is not presented fairly in accordance with the basis of preparation and assumptions set out therein and with the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by Soil Sub.

Soil Sub has prepared, and is responsible for, the historical and pro forma financial information included in the appendices to this report.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

Bentleys has not audited the financial statements of Soil Sub as at 31 December 2009. We have conducted our review of the historical financial information in accordance with Australian Auditing Standard ASRE 2405 “Review of Historical Financial Information Other Than a Financial Report”. We made such enquiries and performed such procedures as we, in our professional judgement, considered reasonable in the circumstances, including:

  • (i) enquiry of directors, management and others;

  • (ii) analytical procedures on the historical information;

  • (iii) a review of work papers, accounting records and other documents; and

  • (iv) comparison of consistency in application of the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by Soil Sub

The review procedures were substantially less in scope than an audit examination conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Having regard to the nature of the review, which provides less assurance than an audit, and to the nature of the historical and pro forma financial information, this report does not express an audit opinion on the historical and pro forma financial information included in the appendices to this report.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The principal assets of Soil Sub will be its intellectual property.

The intellectual property has been included at cost less impairment in the pro forma balance sheet. We have not performed our own valuation of the intellectual property We are unable to form a view on whether the carrying values of the intellectual property are fairly stated.

OPINIONS

(a) Historical Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the historical financial information, as set out in the appendices of this report is not presented fairly in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by Soil Sub.

Inherent Uncertainty Regarding Going Concern

Without qualification to the opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter. As a result of matters described in Note 1 Going Concern in Appendix 2, uncertainty exists whether Soil Sub Technologies Limited will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will be able to pay its

22

Soil Sub Technologies Limited (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) Investigating Accountant’s Report Page 4 of 14

==> picture [534 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

debts as and when they fall due and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

Inherent Uncertainty Regarding the Carrying Value of Intangible Assets

Without qualification to the opinion expressed above, the balance sheet in the financial report indicates that the Company has recorded intangible assets with a carrying value of $250,000. There is uncertainty in regard to the reasonableness of the carrying value of intangibles as they are intrinsically linked to the continued operation of the Company into the future and primarily dependent on the economic benefits associated with those assets being realised.

These items represent significant assets recorded by the Company and until such time as the proposed initiatives described by the Company in Note 1 to the financial report and above are realised there still remains an inherent uncertainty regarding the carrying value of these assets.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the pro forma financial information, as set out in the appendices of this report is not presented fairly in accordance with the basis of preparation in the appendices and assumptions set out therein and with the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by Soil Sub.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

To the best of Bentleys’ knowledge and belief, there have been no material items, transactions or events subsequent to 31 December 2009 not otherwise disclosed in this report or its appendices that have come to our attention during the course of our review which would cause the information included in this report to be misleading or deceptive.

INDEPENDENCE

Bentleys does not have any interest in the outcome of the listing of the shares, other than in connection with the preparation of this report for which normal professional fees will be received. Bentleys were not involved in the preparation of any part of the Prospectus, and accordingly, make no representations or warranties as to the completeness and accuracy of any information contained in any other part of the Prospectus. Bentleys consents to the inclusion of this report in the Prospectus in the form and content in which it is included. At the date of this report, this consent has not been withdrawn.

APPENDIX 2 – NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the measurement and recognition (but not the disclosure) requirements of Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis, are based on historical cost and except where stated do not take into account changing money values or current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The preparation of the income statements and balance sheets requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the balance sheets are disclosed where appropriate.

The financial information has been prepared on the basis of a going concern. The company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon raising additional capital to fund future projects, other principal activities, and for use as working capital. If additional capital is not raised, the going concern basis may not be appropriate with the result that the company may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts different from those stated in the financial information. No allowance for such circumstances has been made in the financial information.

The balance sheet as at 31 December 2009 is in accordance with the Company’s reviewed financial position at that date. The pro forma balance sheet at 31 December 2009 represents the reviewed financial position as at that date adjusted for the transactions discussed in Note 2 to this report. The balance sheet should be read in conjunction with the notes set out in this report.

Going Concern

The balance sheet of the Company as at 31 December 2009 discloses a net working capital deficiency of $6,934,479

The Company incurred a loss from ordinary activities of $934,618 for the period ended 31 December 2009 (2008: $28,967,986 loss).

On 2 March 2009 the securities of Soil Sub Technologies Limited were suspended from official quotation on the Official List of the Australian Stock Exchange (“the ASX”) as a result of the failure of the Company to lodge December 2008 Half Yearly accounts as required..

On 2 April 2009 Richard Albarran and Blair Pleash of Hall Chadwick in Queensland were appointed as Voluntary Administrators by the Directors of the Company at that time. The appointment of the administrators was not made in relation to any of the Company’s subsidiaries.

At a meeting of the Company’s creditors on 20 July 2009, the creditors of the Company approved the execution of the DOCA proposed by Trident.

The DOCA assists the Administrator to raise funds for the benefit of the creditors by causing Soil Sub to enter into a Reconstruction Deed with Trident, a party experienced in such reconstructions.

The proposal put forward by Trident was adjusted with approval received from creditors at a meeting held on 5 January 2010 and evidenced by a Deed of Variation for the DOCA executed on 20 January 2010, and a Deed of Variation for the Reconstruction Deed executed on 20 January 2010.

The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis because under the Trident Proposal the purpose is to;

  • Consolidate existing capital on a 1 for 5 basis such that the 89,564,434 shares on issue when the Company was placed in administration will be consolidated to 17,912,434 shares;

  • Issue of 100,000,000 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.001 (0.1 cent) each to raise $100,000; and

  • Issue of 250,000,000 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.01 (1 cent) each to raise $2,500,000.

In raising this capital the Company will then make payment of $515,000 to the Creditor’s Trust to effectuate the DOCA with the Administrators, thereby allowing them to resign as Administrators of the Company and allowing the Company to relist on the ASX.

The ability of the Company to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon the Company successfully raising additional share capital and receiving licence fees or revenue from the sale of its Nutrimix Products.

Upon effectuation of the DOCA and all conditions associated with the reinstatement of the shares on the ASX, the Company’s securities will be reinstated on the ASX.

Accordingly the financial statements as at 31 December 2009 have been prepared on a going concern basis. To the extent that the Company is not successful in raising capital, or in gaining reinstatement to official quotation on the ASX there is a level of uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to continue to operate as a going concern.

(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.

Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

(c) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

  • Interest income is recognised as it accrues.

(d) Income Tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the notional income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of asses and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

(e) Acquisitions of Assets

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all acquisitions of assets (including business combinations) regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the value of the instruments is the published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation

==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Company’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

(f) Impairment of Assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

(g) Intangibles Assets

The Directors believe there remains inherent value in the Intellectual Property retained in the Company, notably the NutriMix Trademark and associated patents covering Australia and New Zealand. It remains the Company’s intent, once it has raised further capital, to further exploit these patents through the commercialisation of the business in these markets. The value of this asset has been retained at $250,000.

(h) Trade Creditors

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(i) Issued Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options, or for the acquisition of a business, are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

Soil Sub Technologies Limited (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) Investigating Accountant’s Report Page 12 of 14

(j) Share Based Payments

The Company operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black-Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

(k) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • Where the GST incurred on the purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of the payables in the Balance Sheet.

2. Actual and Proposed Transactions to Arrive at the Pro-Forma Financial Information

The pro-forma financial information has been included for illustrative purposes to reflect the position of Soil Sub on the assumption that the following transactions had occurred as at 31 December 2009:

SECTION 7 RISK FACTORS

There are numerous risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. There are also a range of specific risks associated with the Company’s business.

This section identifies areas the Directors regard as major risks associated with an investment in the Company. Investors should be aware that an investment in the Company involves many risks, which may be higher than the risks associated with an investment in other companies. Intending applicants should read the whole of this Prospectus in order to fully appreciate such matters and the manner in which the Company intends to operate before any decision is made to subscribe for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any share investment. The value of the Shares may be above or below the issue price under this Prospectus. The Shares allotted under this Prospectus carry no guarantee in respect of profitability, dividends or return of capital.

The Shares offered under this Prospectus should be regarded as speculative and investors should be aware that they may lose some or all of their investment. Investors should consider whether the Shares offered under this Prospectus are a suitable investment having regard to their own individual investment objectives, financial circumstances and the risk factors set out below. This list is not exhaustive and, if in any doubt, investors should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

Specific risks include:

7.1 FINANCIAL REPORTING RISKS

The Company was suspended from the official list of ASX on 2 March 2009 and was subsequently placed in administration on 1 April 2009. The Company has not complied with its financial reporting obligations immediately preceding and during its administration and as such has not lodged the half-year financial reports for 31 December 2008 and 31 December 2009 or the full-year financial report for the year ending 30 June 2009. This failure to lodge the financial reports means that the Company is technically in breach of its financial reporting requirements under Chapter 2M of the Corporations Act. Shareholders should be aware that this breach may attract liability and or affect the Company’s operations going forward or may affect the Company’s ability to be reinstated to ASX. The Company has made an application to ASIC for a no action letter in respect of these reporting requirements, which ASIC has granted. The Company has recently lodged the half-year financial reports for 31 December 2008 and 31 December 2009. The Company has received a waiver in respect of the obligation to lodge a financial report for the period ending 30 June 2009. The costs of preparing the accounts will be borne out the costs of the Recapitalisation Proposal. The Company has engaged Bentleys to provide an Investigating Accountants’ Report (please refer to Section 4 ) which sets out the Company’s proforma balance sheet as at 31 December 2009.

7.2 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

The ownership of a patent does not guarantee that the rights of others are not infringed or that competitors will not develop technology to avoid patent technology in respect of which the Company has rights. The patents expire at the end of their terms, after which the Company no longer has exclusive protection.

The Company’s business success will depend, in part, on its ability to rely on patents in respect of which it has rights, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the rights of third parties. As patents can be uncertain and frequently involve complex legal and factual issues, neither the breadth of claims allowed in patents nor their enforceability can be predicted. There can be no guarantee that any patent in respect of which the Company has rights to afford the Company commercially significant protection of its technology, of its product or have commercial applications. This may have a significant adverse effect on the Company and value of its Shares. Please refer to Section 6 of this Prospectus for an evaluation of the Company’s Intellectual Property.

7.3 NO FORMAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY

On completion of the Offers and payment of funds to the creditor’s trust and on behalf of the recapitalization

41

==> picture [529 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

costs, the Company will have approximately $1.7M in cash reserves. The Directors intend to continue development of the existing NutriMix® business within Australia and have identified the use of funds for this purpose. The Directors will also investigate new investment opportunities as detailed in Section 3 . Significant risks exist in relation to the Directors’ ability to identify suitable opportunities and then successfully exploit those opportunities.

There may also be additional risks which the Company is exposed to as a result of these acquisitions, which are unknown at the date of this Prospectus and accordingly, are unable to be disclosed. The Directors have significant relevant experience in successfully operating ASX listed companies. Please refer to Section 3 and 8.3 for details.

7.4 SECTOR RISKS

The Company is also exposed to a number of other business risks which include higher than anticipated operating costs, an increase in competition or loss or damage to the Company’s assets, which may have a material adverse effect on the business and financial position of the Company.

7.5 INSURANCE RISKS

The Company intends to adequately insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. 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.

Insurance of all risks associated with Public Companies is not always available and where available often the costs can be prohibitive.

7.6 COMPETITION RISK

The industry in which the Company is involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Whilst the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, whose activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business.

7.7 ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS

The operations and proposed activities of the Company will be subject to relevant laws and regulations concerning the environment in the countries in which the Company operates. Although the NutriMix® product is produced from organic materials, as with most projects and production operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact of the environment. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all relevant environmental laws. Nevertheless, there may be risks inherent in the Company’s activities, or other unforeseen circumstances which could subject the Company to extensive liability.

7.8 ACQUISITIONS

As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, complementary companies or assets. Any such transactions would be accompanied by the risks inherent in making acquisitions of companies and assets. For example, there may be liabilities in connection with such acquisitions which are not identified in the Company’s due diligence or the acquisitions may not prove to be successful.

7.9 NO PROFIT TO DATE AND UNCERTAINTY OF FUTURE PROFITABILITY

The Company has incurred significant losses in the past resulting in it being placed into Administration. It is not possible to evaluate the Company’s future prospects based on past performance. This past performance should not impact the future opportunities for the Company. However the Company does expect to make losses in the immediate future as it develops the NutriMix® business and considers other investment opportunities. Factors that will determine the Company’s future profitability are its ability to identify and

42

==> picture [529 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

successfully acquire new investment opportunities, to manage its costs, to execute its development and growth strategies and to be aware of, and manage the Company through, the actions of competitors and regulatory developments. As a result, the extent of future profits, if any, and the time required to achieve sustainable profitability, is uncertain. In addition, the level of any such future profitability cannot be predicted and may vary significantly from period to period.

.

7.10 DEPENDENCE ON PERSONEL

The Company is dependent on its Directors to identify an appropriate project or assets for acquisition by the Company, and then to successfully manage that acquisition or investment through settlement, associated capital raising if required and successful operations. The loss of service of the Directors could have an adverse effect on the proposed operations of the Company.

The Company will also source external consultants with knowledge of soil nutrition and associated markets. The loss of access to such consultants could have an adverse effect on the proposed operations of the Company.

General risks include:

7.11 ECONOMIC AND GOVERNMENT RISKS

The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of other factors which may affect the performance of all industries, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • general economic conditions in Australia and its major trading partners;

  • changes in Government policies, taxation and other laws;

  • the strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world;

  • movement in, or outlook on, exchange rates, interest rates and inflation rates;

  • natural disasters, social upheaval or war in Australia or overseas; and

  • other factors beyond the control of the Company

7.12 FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS

Further funding of projects and potential acquisitions may be required by the Company to support its ongoing activities and operations. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Any inability to obtain funding will adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company and, consequently, its performance.
