This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at 10:30 am (EST) on 23 August 2007 at The Conference Room, Bonnie Doon Golf Club, Banks Avenue, Pagewood (Sydney) NSW.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – CHANGE TO NATURE OF ACTIVITIES
1.1 Background
The Board proposes that the Company change the nature of its business from a medical research and product company to a property based company with a major focus on "Over 50's Residential Gated Communities". The shift in business has come about after years of research in the over 50's heart monitoring business and identifying growing trends for the over 50's market. The most significant issue identified by the Company was the growing demand for a more secure affordable housing product in a gated community environment with onsite management and delivering products and services which enhance each resident's life. Therefore moving to shift the Company's focus is a natural progression as it responds to this market demand for better housing choices in secure environments. The Company will build on its two existing "Over 50's Residential Gated Communities" and develop further the focus on lifestyle, health education and preventative medicine. The "Over 50's Residential Gated Communities" will build excellent revenue streams for the Company and therefore security of cash flow. The Company has made changes to the Board to increase its expertise in the areas of property business management, development, property finance and accounting and the following appointments have been made:
- Mr Peter Berger as Non-Executive Chairman, [Chartered Accountant Company accounting];
- Mr Stephen Grimson as an Executive Director [Civil Engineer Real-estate licence holder];
- Mr Peter Dunne as a Non-Executive Director [Residential and Commercial Property Finance – Director / Real-estate licence holder]; and
- Mr John Bennett as a Non-Executive Director [Director, Structured Capital Markets Societe Generale].
1.2 Reasons for the change to nature of activities
The Board is recommending to Shareholders that the Company undertake the change in the nature of its activities to a property based company with the Company's major focus being on owning managing and developing "Over 50's Residential Gated Communities". The Board believes that by having the Company changing to focus its resources in this over 50's property area it will allow the Company to meet the core objective maximising Shareholder wealth through:
- Building secure long term increasing cash flows.
- Holding secure income producing assets.
- Having a low cost business structure.
- Adopting low gearing levels.
1.3 Advantages to Shareholders
The Board believes that the change in business nature will crystallise many advantages to Shareholders including:
- Create long term secure cash flows for the Company through holding secure property assets being the "Over 50's Residential Gated Communities".
- Creating additional cash flows for the Company within the residential communities by value adding services and products to sell into the villages.
- Creating a low cost business.
- Having a new highly skilled board to grow the Company in a diligent and controlled manner.
- Being a supplier to a sector of the economy which has long term strong demand for over 50's housing.
- The Company can take advantage of its existing knowledge in the medical area to create a competitive advantage in the over 50's housing market.
- The Company will have a more diverse and consistent inflow of revenues and therefore the Board believes a more secure business model.
- The Company removes the high cost and inconsistent revenue flow associated in the medical device market.
- The Company can focus on building revenues within a very cost controlled environment while eliminating any non income producing assets therefore maximising the total return to Shareholders.
1.4 Disadvantages to Shareholders
-
Exposes Shareholders to investment in the property market.
-
Minimises Shareholders exposure to the medical product market.
-
The residential villages will create more consistent cash flows for the Company and therefore by its nature make the Company a long term investment.
-
The Company will carry bank debt as part of its funding model and even though the Board have set the long term debt to equity level below 50% the Company will still be exposed to interest rate increases.
-
The Company's revenues may be affected by Local, State and Federal government decisions and policy changes on developments for the over 50's residential market.
-
The Company's revenues may be affected by Local, State and Federal government decisions on and possible changes to regulations and laws regarding the housing market for the over 50's.
-
The Company will be exposed to the normal economic cycles with housing demand and supply.
1.5 The Company's Focus.
- Utilising the Company's knowledge in the medical and health sector to build valued services and products to the over 50's residential communities.
- Having the Company in a significant business in a sector of the economy which is demand driven and which requires strong and long term supply to meet this demand for over 50's housing solutions.
- The Company will focus its over 50's residential housing product across the social and economic spectrum to supply at a micro level the housing demand from low cost affordable housing to high end architecturally designed water front housing.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board proposes that the Company undertake a change of name to better reflect the change in nature of activities. "Shell Villages and Resorts Limited" has been chosen by the Board to reflect the following:
- SHELL stands for Secure Housing Estate Lifestyle Living;
- "Villages and Resorts" reflects the style of gated communities the company will own and manage; and
- The Company is focused on providing secure residential environments with modern comfortable housing encompassing the latest technology established in a friendly village atmosphere with resort style facilities.
3. RESOLUTION 3 – CONSOLIDATION OF CAPITAL
3.1 Background
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to consolidate the number of Shares on issue on a one (1) for three (3) basis (Consolidation).
As a strategic part of the move into the "Over 50's Residential Gated Communities" the Board is recommending the Consolidation for the following reasons:
-
The Board is of the opinion that an excessive number of Shares is detrimental to the future growth strategy of the Company. The Consolidation will better equip the Company to issue new capital and grow the business.
-
The Board believes that issuing new Shares from a lower share base will reflect a more accurate value to both existing and new Shareholders.
-
The Board is of the opinion that the market will view very positively the Consolidation.
-
The Company will provide any Shareholder with a non-marketable parcel as a result of the Consolidation the opportunity to purchase more Shares to enable their holding to be "topped-up" to a marketable parcel.
-
The Consolidation will also assist the Company in reducing its share registry costs.
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.
The effect which the Consolidation will have on the capital structure of the Company is as follows:
| Shares | Number |
|---|---|
| Current | 91,292,254 |
| Post-Consolidation | 30,430,752 |
From the date of the Consolidation all holding statements for Shares will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Shares on a post-Consolidation basis. After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements to be issued to Shareholders. It is the responsibility of each Shareholder to check the number of Shares held prior to a disposal.
3.2 Fractional Entitlements and Taxation
Not all Shareholders will hold that number of Shares which can be evenly divided by three. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Directors will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Share.
It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for Shareholders arising from the Consolidation. However, Shareholders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and neither the Company, nor the Directors (or the Company's advisors) accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.

4. RESOLUTIONS 4, 5, 6 AND 7 – ISSUE OF SHARES AS PAYMENT OF DIRECTORS FEES
4.1 Background
Messrs Peter Berger, Peter Dunne, John Bennett and Boris Patkin (together, the Related Parties) are Directors. In payment of outstanding Director fees owed to the Related Parties and in advance of Director fees entitled up to and including the respective dates specified below, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the following Shares:
- (a) Mr Peter Berger 66,667 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.45 per Share (on a post-Consolidation basis) in payment of outstanding Director fees and in advance of Director fees entitled up to and including 21 March 2008 in the amount of $30,000;
- (b) Mr Peter Dunne 55,556 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.45 per Share (on a post-Consolidation basis) in payment of outstanding Director fees and in advance of Director fees entitled up to and including 21 March 2008 in the amount of $25,000;
- (c) Mr John Bennett 55,556 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.45 per Share (on a post-Consolidation basis ) in payment of outstanding Director fees and in advance of Director fees entitled up to and including 24 April 2008 in the amount of $25,000; and
- (d) Mr Boris Patkin 10,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.45 cents per Share (on a post-Consolidation basis) in payment of outstanding Director fees and in advance of Director fees entitled up to and including 30 November 2007 in the amount of $4,500.
All Shares being issued under Resolutions 4-7 are being issued on a post-Consolidation basis.
Section 211(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides an exception to the requirement to obtain Shareholder approval where a financial benefit is given to a related party as remuneration for their role as officer of the company. Consequently approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required.
However, Shareholder approval is still required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 which provides that, subject to certain exceptions, a company listed on ASX cannot issue or grant securities to a director without shareholder approval.
As a portion of the Shares being issued to the Related Parties relates to Director fees paid in advance each of the Related Parties will be required to enter into a voluntary escrow agreement with the Company with an escrow period up to and including the date in advance the respective Director fees relate.
4.2 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party. Messrs Berger, Dunne, Bennett, and Patkin are considered related parties of the Company by virtue of the fact that they are Directors.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to grant the Shares as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. The grant of the Shares will not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
4.3 Technical Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
ASX Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting proposing an approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13:
- (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued to the allottees is 187,779 and will be issued as follows:
- (i) 66,667 Shares to Mr Peter Berger;
- (ii) 55,556 Shares to Mr Peter Dunne;
- (iii) 55,556 Shares to Mr John Bennett; and
- (iv) 10,000 Shares to Mr Boris Patkin;
- (b) the Shares will be issued no later than one (1) month from the date of approval of the Resolutions (or such later date as approved by ASX) and it is anticipated that the Shares will be issued on one date;
- (c) the Shares rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing issued Shares; and
- (d) the Shares will be issued in payment of outstanding Director fees owed by the Company to the Related Parties and in advance of Director fees entitled up to and including the respective dates specified above.
5. RESOLUTION 8 – PLACEMENT
5.1 Background
Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of 55,000,000 Shares on a post-Consolidation basis pursuant to a prospectus, at an issue price of not less than 80% of the average market price of the Shares calculated over the previous 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded before the day on which the prospectus is signed (Placement).
As outlined above in paragraph 1 of the Explanatory Statement the Company is proposing to change its core business to a property business. As a result the Company plans to expand on the two "Over 50's Residential Gated Communities" it currently has, being Shell Villages & Resorts BRT and Shell Villages & Resorts Cooroy. The Company has six "Over 50's Residential Gated Communities" (Village) which it currently has the opportunity to purchase. The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue Shares as the main source of funding for the purchase of the above mentioned assets. The Directors intend to use the majority of equity for the acquisition program and have set a debt to equity ratio of approximately 50% for the Company.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
One circumstance where an issue is not taken into account in the calculation of this 15% threshold is where the issue has the prior approval of shareholders in general meeting.
The effect of Resolution 8 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Shares pursuant to the Placement during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's annual 15% placement capacity.
The Placement will be done on a post-Consolidation basis pursuant to a prospectus and offered to institutional and other large investors as well as the general public.
5.2 Technical Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
The following information is provided in relation to the Placement pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3:
- (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 55,000,000;
- (b) the Shares will each be issued pursuant to a prospectus at an issue price of not less than 80% of the average market price of the Shares calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded before the day on which the prospectus is signed;
- (c) the Shares will be issued no later than three (3) months after the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date;
- (d) the Directors will determine to whom the Shares will be issued but these persons will not be related parties of the Company;
- (e) the Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally with the Company's current issued Shares; and
- (f) the Company intends to use the funds raised from the Placement for the purposes set out in paragraph 5.1 above, in the acquisition of additional "Over 50's Gated Residential Communities". The Board has set a low debt to equity ratio for the Company therefore the majority of financing for the purchase of the additional villages will be sourced from the use of equity funding. The Company has identified five over 50's gated communities it will wish to acquire over the next 9 months. Some of the initial funds raised will be allocated to reducing a commercial bank bill facility in order to bring the existing debt to equity ratio of the Company below 50%. As well as the reduction of debt and the acquisition of additional villages the Company will own a select number of houses in
each village which will be leased out on a long term basis therefore maximising the revenue and asset appreciation of the Company.
6. RESOLUTION 9 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO MR RICHARD HYMAN
6.1 Background
Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of 511,430 Shares to Mr Richard Hyman (or his nominee) at a deemed issue price of $0.45 per Share on a post-Consolidation basis (Hyman Placement).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
One circumstance where an issue is not taken into account in the calculation of this 15% threshold is where the issue has the prior approval of shareholders in general meeting.
The effect of Resolution 9 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Shares pursuant to the Hyman Placement during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's annual 15% placement capacity.
The Shares issued pursuant to Resolution 9 will be issued on a post-Consolidation basis.
6.2 Technical Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
The following information is provided in relation to the Hyman Placement pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3:

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue 312,717 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.45 per Share on a post-Consolidation basis to Mr Platt (or his nominee) (Platt Shares) on the terms and conditions set out below.
Harry Platt is a related party of the Company by virtue of the fact that he is a former director of the Company. The grant of the Platt Shares requires shareholder approval for the purposes of:
- (a) Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001, which governs the giving of financial benefits to directors and other "related parties" of a company; and
- (b) ASX Listing Rule 10.11 which provides that, subject to certain exceptions, a company listed on ASX cannot issue or grant securities to a director without shareholder approval.
7.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties by a public company. Section 208 of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company giving a financial benefit to a related party unless one of a number of exceptions applies.
A "financial benefit" is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and includes a public company issuing securities.
For the purpose of this meeting, a "related party" includes:
- (a) a director of the Company;
- (b) an entity over which a director has control; and
- (c) an entity which believes, or has reasonable grounds to believe, that it is likely to become a related party in the future.
For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, Mr Platt is a related party of the Company by virtue of the fact that he was a director of the Company in the previous 6 months having resigned on 23 January 2007.
Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that for a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of that company, the public company must:
- (a) obtain the approval of members in the way set out in Sections 217 to 227; and
- (b) give the benefit within 15 months after the approval.
The following information is provided to satisfy the requirements of Section 219 of the Corporations Act:
(a) the proposed financial benefit to be given to Mr Platt (or his nominees) is the grant of 312,717 Shares;
- (b) All Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10, as they are of the view that the issue of Platt Shares to Mr Platt (or his nominee) is an appropriate means of payment of unpaid remuneration owing by the Company to Mr Platt. The Directors are not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution;
- (c) as at the date of this Notice, the annual remuneration (inclusive of superannuation where applicable) payable to Mr Platt is nil (as he is no longer a Director);
- (d) during the previous financial year, the remuneration (inclusive of superannuation where applicable) paid to Mr Platt was $80,400;
- (e) as at the date of this Notice, the Mr Platt has notifiable interests in the securities of the Company of 2,576,239 Shares.
- (f) Mr Platt receives no other emoluments from the Company;
- (g) the Platt Shares will be issued at a deemed issue price of $0.45 per Share in payment of unpaid remuneration in the amount of $140,723 owing from the Company to Mr Platt;
- (h) the Shares rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing issued Shares;
- (i) if Shareholders approve the issue of the Platt Shares to Mr Platt (or his nominee), the effect will be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders. Subject to any adjustments arising from any issues of securities by the Company, 312,717 Shares will be allotted and issued with the effect that the shareholding of the existing Shareholders will be diluted by approximately 0.995% (based on the number of Shares on issue post-Consolidation and assuming Resolutions 4-7 and 9 in this Notice are approved and those Shares issued and also assuming no Options are exercised);
- (j) in the 12 months before the date of this Notice, the highest, lowest and last trading price of Shares on ASX are as set out below:
| Highest | 28.5 cents on 21 July 2006 and 24 July 2006 |
|---|---|
| Lowest | 9 cents on 27 June 2007 and 28 June 2007 |
| Last | 11.5 cents on 3 July 2007 |
(k) the primary purpose of the issue of the Platt Shares to Mr Platt (or his nominee) is to pay to Mr Platt the amount of remuneration outstanding.
The total value of the Shares to be issued to Mr Platt is $140,723.
7.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party. Mr Platt is also a related party of the Company by virtue of the fact that he was a director of the Company in the previous 6 months having resigned on 23 January 2007.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to grant the Shares as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. The grant of the Shares will not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
7.4 Technical Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
ASX Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting proposing an approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13:

- (d) the Platt Shares will be issued to Mr Platt (or his nominee) in payment of unpaid remuneration in the amount of $140,723 owing from the Company to Mr Platt.

On 21 May 2007, the Company announced it had issued Shares to unrelated parties in consideration for the conversion of Convertible Notes previously issued by the Company and announced on 30 November 2006 (Convertible Note Shares).

Instructions for Completing 'Appointment of Proxy' Form
-
- A member entitled to attend and vote at a Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member's voting rights. If the shareholder 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. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.
-
- Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:
- 2 directors of the company;
- a director and a company secretary of the company; or
- For a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.
For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.
-
- Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy's authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.
-
- Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.
