The Explanatory Statement forms part of the accompanying Notice of Meeting. Details of the business to be considered at this Meeting are set out below.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – issue of Shares to Raise Capital
The Company intends to seek a placement of up to $15,000, subject to shareholder approval, to meet its obligations to short term creditors, to provide ongoing funding for the Company including the production of a disclosure document. Approval is sought from the shareholders to issue up to 10,000,000 shares at 0.0015c per share to raise $15,000. These shares will be subject to consolidation as per Resolution 2.
ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires the notice of meeting to include the following information:
- a) Up to 10,000,000 ordinary fully paid ordinary shares.
- b) The shares will be issued and allotted within 3 months after the date of the meeting.
- c) The shares are to be issued at 0.0015c per share pre consolidation as per resolution 2.
- d) The allottees will be persons identified and sought out by the directors as sophisticated or professional investors pursuant to s708 of the Corporations Act. The allottees will not be related parties of the Company.
- e) The shares will be ordinary fully paid shares and are to be issued on the same terms and rank equally with other fully paid shares on issue.
- f) The use of the funds will be to part pay creditors, and part pay for the production of a disclosure document.
VOTING EXCLUSION STATEMENT
The Company will disregard any votes on Resolution 14 cast by the proposed allottee, a person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holders of ordinary securities, if the resolution is passed, or any associates of the allottee or such persons. However the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the directions on the proxy form or it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form and vote as the proxy decides.
2. RESOLUTION 2 - Consolidation of Share Capital
Background
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number. ASX listing Rule 7.20 provides that if any entity proposes to reorganise its capital, it must advise shareholders of certain matters. These matters are set out below.
As at today's date the Company has approximately 200,469,838 shares on issue. This large number of shares imposes a number of disadvantages on the Company, including:
- Administrative cost and inconvenience.
- Negative perception associated with a potentially low share price, precluding investment from institutional investors who may be limited by their charters or mandates;
The Directors believe that a consolidation of the shares would assist in eliminating or mitigating these disadvantages and would create a more efficient capital structure and enable a more appropriate share price for a listed entity of the Company's size.
If approved the consolidation will reduce the shareholding from approximately 200,469,838 shares on issue to approximately 28,638,548 shares on issue. As the consolidation applies equally to all Shareholders, individual shareholdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of the Company's shares (subject only to rounding of fractions). It follows that the consolidation will have no material effect on the percentage interest of each individual Shareholder in the Company.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – Issue of Shares to Raise Capital
On 22nd January 2012 the Company withdrew its prospectus. The Company has since sought the advice of its Corporate Advisor, Alto Capital as to the best and fairest pricing structure to enable the necessary capital raising for the Company to obtain re-admission to the main board of the ASX. As the Directors believe the Company has a suitable investment strategy in the Hunter Valley Joint Venture, they have considered that an issue of up to 85,000,000 post consolidation ordinary shares pursuant to listing rule 7.1 at $0.02 per share to raise up to $1,700,000 to be a proposition which is likely to engage market participants in the raising of enough capital to obtain re-admission.
ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires the notice of meeting to include the following information:
-
a) Up to 85,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares.
-
b) The shares will be issued and allotted within 3 months after the date of the meeting.

c) The shares are to be issued at $0.02 (2.0c) per share.

-
e) The shares will be ordinary fully paid shares and are to be issued on the same terms and rank equally with other fully paid shares on issue.
-
f) The funds will primarily be used to continue the development of the Hunter Valley Joint Venture. SVC has entered into a joint venture with Coast and Country Developments Pty Limited (CCD) to develop a property known as Lot 99, Carrs Road, Neath, Hunter Valley, into 70 manufactured homes. The property is adjacent to an existing manufactured village owned by CCD. Under the terms of the JV Agreement, SVC will lodge a development application to locate approximately 70 pre-manufactured homes on the site. If successful, SVC will facilitate the purchase of manufactured homes by each home purchaser from the home manufacturer, and manage siting of the homes and connection of services. The joint venture will charge fees for sourcing of the homes and connection of the homes to all infrastructure services. In exchange for its services, SVC will look to recoup its costs from the sale of the cabins and receive 80% of any remaining profits from the sale of the cabins. Some of the funds will also be used for working capital and to seek out other opportunities.
-
g) Details of Agreement with Alto Capital.
