EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

$\mathbf{1}$ . INTRODUCTION

This Explanatory Memorandum is provided to shareholders of SHELL VILLAGES AND RESORTS LIMITED ACN 009 161 522 (Company) to explain the resolution to be put to Shareholders at the General Meeting to be held at the Company's office, Suite 20, Level 3, 72 Pitt Street, Sydney on Tuesdav February 8th 2011 commencing at 10.00am (Sydney time).

The Director Mr. Richard Pritchard who is issuing this document recommends shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.

RESOLUTION 1.2 AND 3 - APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Shell Villages and Resorts is currently comprised of three Directors;

Boris Patkin

David Diamond

Richard Pritchard

The Company is currently attempting to complete its Audited Accounts for the years 2008-2009. and 2009-2010. It is evident from my knowledge of the Company's past and discussions with the Auditor, that many of the past events are very difficult to reconcile for the current board, as it is constituted. Mr. Boris Patkin has had a long association with the Company over many years and is involved in a number of related party matters which require resolving. These conflicts relate to matters which are essential to resolve if the company is to move forward. Mr. David Diamond, who has also had a history with the Company far beyond the term of his current Directorship is closely associated with Mr. Patkin. It is my view that due to this strong relationship with Mr. Patkin, Mr. Diamond is conflicted in his consideration of the many difficult and related party matters which now face the Company.

I have reached the conclusion that the Board must be reconstituted with a majority of the Board being independent of the Company's more contentious past. I believe it is essential for all concerned that the audited accounts be approved by a Board constituted of a majority of Directors who have no past history with the Company. There is also a need to put in place an experienced, qualified, and independent Company Secretary to manage the Company's affairs in a timely, independent, and efficient manner.

I have been associated with the Company since the autumn of 2009 at which time the Company was already suspended, had sold all of its assets, and was not operating a business. It is through the implementation of the placement funds of \$262,000 which I introduced to the Company that we have now an opportunity and a plan to attain relisting.

It is for the above reasons that I am putting forward Mr. Gregory Cornelsen, Mr. Brett Crowley, and Mr. Ian Dorney as additional Directors to the Board, I hereby provide a short resume for each proposed new director;

Background Information on the proposed new Directors

Mr. Greg Cornelsen

Greg Cornelsen is a former international rugby union player, with 25 caps for the Australian Wallabies. He is a board member of the Australian Schools Rugby Foundation and a current 2010 Wallabies Statesman for Rugby Australia. His rugby and business backgrounds have allowed him to develop an extensive network within the Australian business community. Greg has previously formed, managed, and sold successful businesses in Australia. He is currently on the board of Bluglass Limited (ASX:BLU), Blackcrest Resources Limited (ASX:BCR), RKS Consolidated Limited (ASX:RKS) and FTD Corporation Limited (ASX:FTD).

Mr. Brett Crowley

Brett Crowley is a Solicitor and Barrister (NSW) and a Chartered Accountant. He is an experienced ASX listed Public Company Chairman, Director and Company Secretary. He currently practices as a Solicitor with a medium sized CBD firm primarily handling tax, corporate, contracts and property matters. Mr. Crowley is currently a Non-executive director and Company Secretary of Vesture Limited (ASX:VES). Vesture is one of the largest strata management companies in Australia, managing in excess of 27,000 lots, Company Secretary of Flat Glass Industries Limited (ASX: FGI). He was formerly a Partner of Ernst & Young in Hong Kong and Australia from 1988 to 1994 and a partner of KPMG from 1998 to 2000. Brett Crowley is a former player in the NRL having played for the Cronulla Sharks, and was a finalist in the 1978 Grand Final.

Mr. Ian William Dorney

lan Dorney has over 20 years experience in the Financial Services industry. During this time he has held senior management and board positions in a number of financial services companies. He founded Mortgage Systems Australia (MSA), in 1992, which was at the forefront of mortgage securitization in Australia at that time. In 1998 he merged MSA with Equity & Law, a financial planning business. Ian Dorney is the Managing Director and Responsible Officer of Equity & Law. Equity & Law provides wealth management solutions to high net worth individuals. Since 1995 Ian has personally controlled and been responsible for a number of successful property developments. The most recent was a 46 unit development in Stanley Street, Chatswood.

MOVING FORWARD

To effect the successful completion of the audited accounts it is necessary to demonstrate to the auditor that the Board and Shareholders are supportive of a plan to move forward, this plan should include how the Company proposes to:

  • a. Pay or agree arrangements with its creditors, including the auditor;
  • b. Has a proposed business plan which is supported by shareholders
  • c. Has access to sufficient capital to enable that business plan

The Company through its subsidiary companies has considerable losses involving property development, this makes retaining the Company in its current business sensible in light of the offsetting value of those losses against possible future gains within the same industry. The property development industry in Australia has gone through difficult times since the global financial crisis when finance became more restricted and development margins shrank. Now, however there are signs of change with financing and equity provision becoming more apparent

and good development opportunities arising for the astute. There are also opportunities outside of the Australian property market which can be considered.

With confidence in the Board, a business plan, and a strong management team I believe that there is every opportunity for the Company to succeed. Expressions of interest in providing substantial equity placement to enable relisting has been communicated to me by parties interested in pursuing this direction, in addition immediate funding has been offered as set out in Resolution 4, which is dependent upon the reconstitution of the Board as would occur with the approval by shareholders of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3.
