13 May 2014

THIS DOCUMENT IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

Capitalised words used in this Prospectus have special meanings and are defined throughout this Prospectus and otherwise in Section 16.

All monetary amounts set out in this Prospectus are in Euro (which may be denoted by the € symbol) unless expressly stated to be in a different currency.

In this case a short description of the Element is included in the summary with the mention of 'not applicable'.

The product range includes:

Leisa's Secret® Advanced Thermo (Tablets)

-
System LS™ Rise – super grain granola cereal
The products have all been developed directly by Rapid Nutrition's team of
dieticians, naturopaths and pharmaceutical specialists and all intellectual
property is owned by Rapid Nutrition.
The products are nutritional diet supplements which are intended as
additions to the diet. They contain concentrated sources of vitamins,
minerals and other substances such as natural herbs with a nutritional
benefit.
Nutritional supplements are regulated in detail by the applicable regulations
and regulatory body in each country in which Rapid Nutrition operates.
The Rapid Nutrition products are not pharmaceutical in nature.
Rapid Nutrition has a broad range of product categories and development
technologies with different timeframes to the market. A key strength of the
Company is that it has current revenue and earnings while having
technologies in development that can ensure sustainable growth.

market
The company has established major distribution relationships in three
separate regions worldwide and has product registrations and successful
export business in a number of other countries.
Rapid Nutrition has exported to and/or is currently distributing into the
following markets:
United Kingdom
Ireland
Australia
United States
India
China
Singapore
Korea
Ghana
Rapid Nutrition has successfully completed product registration and
approval on a selection of its product portfolio in the following countries and
is currently finalizing distribution arrangements:
Czech Republic
Turkey
Korea
Thailand
In Australia in particular Rapid Nutrition has achieved considerable success
with its flagship products, the Leisa's Secret® range. The Group plans to
capitalize on the success of Leisa's Secret® by introducing the new
SystemLS™ range immediately into the Australian and USA markets,
followed by Europe and the Middle East.
The company leverages it's product brand recognition for rapid market
penetration in international markets by establishing strong distribution
channels and partners. This in turn maximises sales revenue for the
company by introducing expanded product portfolios into established
distribution channels. Additionally, this is supported by the implementation
of strong marketing initiatives and media partners in each market.
The highest priorities in respect of the weight loss and weight maintenance
range in the first quarter 2014 is continuing the System LS™ product range
roll-out in Australia through Woolworths (Australia's largest supermarket
retailer), commencing the full-scale market entry strategy into the USA and
expanding distribution agreements in Europe. Long term distribution
arrangements are already in place throughout Australia, Europe, Asia,
USA and the Middle East which ensure financial stability in 2014 while
these growth strategies are implemented.
The Company's growth plans are conservative to ensure the Company can
at all times work within its resources and is not reliant on external funding
to support its growth. The capital raised under this Issue is therefore not
essential to support the Company's growth strategy, but will allow the
implementation of the growth strategy to be accelerated.
Key Commercial Relationships:
1. Woolworths distribution approval was granted on 16 July 2013, and
sale through an initial group of Woolworths stores commenced in
October 2013. Based on feedback to date from Woolworths that
arrangement is expected to be progressively extended to the full
820 stores by late 2014.
2. Joint venture agreement with US-based company Motivate Health
Technology Inc to distribute SystemLS™ products directly to US
customers. Contract was executed in August 2011 and major roll
out into the USA market through that joint venture is commencing
in the first half of 2014.
3. US promotional agreement for News USA Inc to provide US\$10m in
media credits to the Company. This advertising and marketing
programme will be commenced in conjunction with the Motivate
joint venture roll-out as referred to above.
4. Appointment of Verde Fulfillment & Distribution Inc. as the US
logistics provider to provide US based product storage, ensure
prompt delivery of goods and manage any returns.
5. Five year distribution contract with Biolynx Ltd a European distributor
to increase the volume of shipments into the EU region.
Australian Sales Growth
Thanks to strong interest both locally and globally, the new SystemLS™
organic lifestyle range was recently approved by Woolworths, Australia's
largest supermarket retailer. Woolworths has 820 stores throughout
Australia and is one of Australia's largest listed companies. Woolworths
started to offer the product range in October 2013 through Woolworths new
concept stores. Sales have exceeded expectations and this distribution
relationship is expected to grow quickly to extend to all of the 820 stores
and provide a significant revenue stream for the Company.
US Product Launch
The US product launch is a very significant part of the 2014 growth strategy
for the Company. The launch will consist of two strategies running in
parallel. Firstly a retail launch direct to consumers which will be
coordinated and operated by Motivate Health Technology Inc. Motivate has
a very experienced team for managing direct marketing campaigns and will
be initiating a radio advertising driven sales process. Secondly, the
Company will coordinate a wholesale launch to appropriate US distributors
directly through its own, dedicated US team.
Retail Launch in the US
The Company's Q1 2014 Direct Response Product Launch of the
SystemLS™ natural weight loss product line consists of six products as
described above. While the products are intended to be used in
combination and internal sales forecasts are built on package sales, they
will also be sold separately and it is expected that purchase of one product
is likely to lead to the purchase of additional, complimentary products.
The key marketing approach for the retail launch in the US will be radio
advertising. As the Company's products are designed to be used on an
ongoing basis customers will typically make repeat purchases and the
impact of advertising is significantly larger than for products designed for a
single purchase.
The break-even point for the US market is sales revenue in the range of
€400,000 to €470,000 per annum, a volume which Rapid Nutrition expects
to be able to achieve in the 2014 calendar year based on its current
forecasts.
Wholesale Launch in the US
Secondly, The Company will coordinate the wholesale launch directly with
its own dedicated US team. Initially this team will consist of four people:
-
Head of US Operations
-
Head of Production
-
Head of Sales & Distribution
-
Brand Director
The team members have been selected and will commence work for Rapid
Nutrition in mid-2014. They will work closely with a number the Company's
key partners in the US who have already made initial introductions to the
major retail chains.
In the Company's view there is a high likelihood that this approach will
result in growth in US sales to the point that the cost of supplying the
market will lead to growth being limited by the availability of capital to the
Company. While the Company will be able to fund growth to a reasonable
level through its own resources, if this Issue is fully subscribed the pace of
growth is expected to be considerably faster.
Markets other than Australia and US
Additionally, the company will continue to build upon its existing
international markets as well as aggressively expanding its distribution
channels throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East into neighbouring
countries where the company is currently not present.
B.4a Industry trends affecting The World Health Organisation (through its website at
Issuer http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs311/en/ and
http://www.who.int/gho/publications.en/ ) has provided the following
information regarding the health issues which underpin the RNL business :

Worldwide obesity has nearly doubled since 1980.

In 2008, more than 1.4 billion adults, 20 and older, were overweight. Of
these over 200 million men and nearly 300 million women were
obese.

35% of adults aged 20 and over were overweight in 2008, and 11% were
obese.

65% of the world's population live in countries where overweight and
obesity kills more people than underweight.

More than 40 million children under the age of five were overweight in
2011.

Obesity is preventable.
Rapid Nutrition seeks to address obesity by making neutraceutical products
available directly to consumers. A neutraceutical is distinct from a
pharmaceutical in that it is derived from recognised food sources that
provide health benefits in addition to their nutritional value as food, whereas
a pharmaceutical is a compound manufactured from chemicals and/or
biological materials that are not recognised as food sources and typically
have no nutritional value.

The period for which accounts have been provided above has seen Rapid
Nutrition take a significant step forward by converting to a public company
which has been successfully admitted to the GXG Stock Exchange. While
this was only a transition step to listing on the Open Market (Entry
Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange the GXG step resulted in Rapid
Nutrition implementing a high level or corporate compliance by engaging
and assembling an experienced corporate team, board of directors and
advisors as well as an independent company secretary. These are all
essential elements for laying a strong foundation for the company's future
success and overall global growth strategy.
By putting in place the necessary infrastructure of a new public company
has resulted in the company incurring significantly more expenses 'above
and beyond' its normal operational costs. Added to this the Subsidiary has
been in the research and development stage over the past 12 months for
its new System LS™ lifestyle range which was launched in the US and
Australia in October 2013.
Rapid Nutrition also incurred a significant logistics hurdle with its Asia
operations where FDA requirements for natural healthcare products
changed, just after the company had shifted its manufacturing to the US
and completed a large production run for Asia. This was a major set back in
the company's anticipated revenue for the period, with the company having
to hold back several thousand customer inquiries and anticipated orders in
Asia as a result. The company is currently working through the process and
has put in place several 'risk management' procedures to ensure this is
avoided in any future production.
Whilst the board acknowledges the financial accounts may not yet show
large cash profits, the board firmly believes that the commencement of
profitable operations is as a result of the foundation which has been laid
over the past 12 months.
There have been no significant changes to the financial position or
operating results since 31 March 2014.

B.10 Audit report
qualifications
The Issuer's auditors believe that the Rapid Nutrition Group's ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent on the Rapid Nutrition Group
receiving monies owed by trade receivables, and successfully realising
revenue growth via the Group's plans to launch their new product lines in
the coming year.
Without the above funding arrangements coming to fruition, certain
events may cast doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going
concern.
B.11 Working capital In the opinion of the Issuer, taking into account the availability of further
unsecured shareholder loans in the amount of up to €500,000, the Group
has sufficient working capital to meet its present requirements, that is for at
least the next 12 months following the date of this Prospectus.

D.1 Key risks relating to the If the Issuer raises insufficient capital it will delay the US product launch
Issuer and its industry and will slow the expansion of the Rapid Nutrition Business.
If regulatory requirements change for product registration in one or more of
the Rapid Nutrition markets the Issuer may have to withdraw specific
products from markets where regulation cannot be dealt with, and this will
result in an associated decrease in revenues and profits.
Increase in competition and in raw materials costs for production of
inventory may result in increased costs of manufacturing for the Rapid
Nutrition Group, in which case either the profit margin will be reduced or the
price will need to be increased which may reduce the overall turnover, both
of which may impact negatively on the profit generated by the Issuer.
New trading terms negotiated for entry into the US market are likely to
impact negatively on cash-flow and if insufficient capital reserves are
available then this is likely to restrict the growth of the Rapid Nutrition
Business in that market.
D.3 Key risks relating to the
Shares
Should the Issuer or any member of the Rapid Nutrition Group not operate
profitably this may have an adverse effect on the Issuer's ability to pay
dividends to shareholders.
The Entry Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is not a market
regulated by EU or national legislation in the usual sense, and as such the
listing and trading of the Shares on the Entry Standard does not have the
same level of transparency and protection that a listing on a regulated
exchange would have.

2. Risk Factors

The business activities of the Issuer are subject to various risks that may impact on the future performance of the Issuer. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Issuer and cannot be mitigated. There are a number of risk factors that investors should consider and seek independent advice on, before deciding whether or not to invest in Shares. The material risk factors are included in this Part 2.

The following list of risk factors are those considered to be material risks by the Board and ought not to be taken as an exhaustive list of the risks faced by the Issuer or by investors in the Issuer. The following factors may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Issuer and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those securities.

Potential investors should consider that an investment in the Issuer is high risk, speculative, and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to the Offer contained in this Prospectus.

2.1.1 Economic
The Rapid Nutrition Group consists of companies located in Australia and the UK and
servicing markets in those and other countries. Changes in Australia, the United Kingdom
and world economic conditions generally may adversely affect the financial performance of
any one or more of the members of the Rapid Nutrition Group, and therefore the Issuer.
Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates, industrial disruption and
economic growth may impact on future operations and earnings.
The Issuer's future business prospects rely on particular raw material commodity pricing to
remain consistent with market trends. Economic changes that result in significant increases
in prices and that continue for long periods would have an adverse effect on the revenue and
viability of the Issuer.
2.1.2 Limited history and new ventures
The Issuer has only relatively recently completed the acquisition of the Australian Subsidiary,
and the subsidiary is engaged in ongoing market and product development. It therefore has
a limited operating history on which an evaluation of its prospects can be made.
The prospects of the Issuer must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties
frequently encountered by investing in companies developing products, particularly in heavily
regulated industries such as the food industry, which are subject to commercial uncertainties
relating to applications and approvals processes.
If the Issuer and its senior management cannot adequately address the uncertainties and
risks associated with its limited history and in any new ventures that it pursues, this may
have a significant detrimental impact on the operations and profitability of the Issuer and the
Group.
2.1.3 Competition
The Issuer's subsidiary competes with other companies, including major competitors in its
industry. These competitors will likely have greater financial and other resources than the
Issuer, and as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business
opportunities. Many of the Issuer's competitors compete directly with its products and
services in the market place. There can be no assurance that the Issuer can compete
effectively with these competitors.
2.1.4 Consumer Behaviour
The Group operates in a discretionary consumer market which is heavily dependent on
consumer preferences, trends and behaviours. The preferences, trends and behaviours may
change over time in ways over which the Group has no control, and which result in
decreasing sales of the Group's products.
2.1.5 Insufficient insurance and risk cover
While the Issuer maintains insurance covering various risks and in such amounts as it

2.1 Risk factors relating to the Issuer and its industry

believes reasonable, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover losses in certain
circumstances which could have a material adverse effect on its business, its results, its
balance sheet and its financial position.
Also, changes in regulations or an increase in claim events, particularly in the event of an
incident resulting in increased premiums, could have a material adverse effect on the
Issuer's profits, its results, its balance sheet and its financial position.
2.1.6 Regulatory– procurement and maintenance of approvals
In Australia, herbal, vitamin and mineral products with therapeutic claims are classified and
regulated as ''complimentary medicines' under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989. The
Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is Australia's national regulator of therapeutic
goods, including complimentary medicines. Each such product must be entered in the
Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods and be manufactured in accordance with an
approved process before it can be made available for sale in Australia.
Other regimes differ in the rigour and detail of their supervisory systems, however some
approval process is required in most of the countries in which the Issuer or its subsidiary
operate.
As a result there is a risk that the Company may be unable to develop and manufacture
products that meet all of the regulatory requirements in one or all of the countries in which it
wishes to market. Failure to obtain necessary approvals or maintain such approvals may
cause the Company to stop selling the products to such markets, increase costs, or frustrate
delivery to such markets; and consequently have a material detrimental impact on the
Company's performance.
2.1.7 Product Quality
In the event that there are any issues with the Group's raw materials, manufacturing
processes or supply chain there may be contamination of the Group's products resulting in a
product that is undesirable or harmful to consumers. Such contamination could result in a
negative reaction from or health problems for consumers.
Any such issues could have a serious impact on the sales of the Group's products,
potentially across the entire product range, with a resulting drop in revenues and profits for
the Group.
2.1.8 Product Development
The Group has a relatively small number of products in a limited number of markets, and so
the revenue will be affected if one of these products or markets encounters problems. Such
problems could include demographic trends, macro-economic conditions, regulatory
changes or changing customer preferences/
Due to the inherent risks involved in creating new technology and products, there is also a
risk that development costs will be overspent or spent without resulting in a successful
product, resulting in increased capital requirements, which may cause delays or cancellation
of the release of products.
2.1.9 Cost of remaining competitive
One of the competitive advantages claimed by the Company, and on which many of its sales
targets are based, is the superior performance of its product. Competitors may release
products that make these claims redundant and additional development expenditure may be
required to maintain the market positioning.
2.1.10 Varying jurisdiction and laws
The business supplies its products in a number of jurisdictions. These jurisdictions are the
subject of different legal systems and laws. If the business or its personnel are not
conversant with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the products are being delivered, liability
may attach to the Issuer, its Australian Subsidiary or its personnel, as the case may be, and
cause delay, losses or other impediments to the continued operation of the business in one
or more jurisdictions. This may have an adverse effect on the Issuer's profits, its trading
results, its balance sheet and its financial position.
2.1.11 Raw materials procurement costs
The Company is using a variety of materials in order to achieve the performance
characteristics of its products. There are risks that materials will not be available at an
acceptable cost, on time or at all, resulting in failure to meet performance specifications, or
inability to manufacture product to schedule.
2.1.12 Underachieving sales performance risk
Due to the nature of the market for natural health supplement products the perceived value
and desirability of the product may be affected by press reports, reviews, competitor
advertising and other unknown factors. This could affect the capability of the Company to
achieve its sales targets.
2.1.13 Dependence on key personnel
The Company is heavily reliant on key personnel. The Issuer's future depends, in part, on its
ability to attract and retain key personnel. It may not be able to hire and retain such
personnel at compensation levels consistent with its existing or intended compensation and
salary structure. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of its executive
management team and other key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose
services may be difficult to replace.
2.1.14 Distance from existing and planned markets
The business operates in a number of markets, and is planning on ventures into many
additional markets. Both existing and planned markets can be long distances away from the
Australian Subsidiary's headquarters. Such distances require staff and suppliers to travel for
extended periods and can be subject to delays, cancellations and other factors which may
at all. Delays and cancellations may have immediate or ongoing consequences for the
customers and the business relationship with them. As a result, this may have an adverse
effect on the Issuer's profits, its results, its balance sheet and its financial position.

2.2 Risk factors relating to the Shares

2.2.1 Dividend risks
If one or more businesses operated by the Issuer are not profitable, or the Issuer is not
managed effectively so that profits made in one business must be used to fund another, this
may have an adverse effect on the Issuer as a whole and the Issuer may not be profitable.
Consequently, the Issuer would not be able to pay, and shareholders may not receive,
dividends.
Pursuant to the dividend policy, the Issuer may determine that it will not pay dividends at any
time or any future time. Consequently the shareholders would not receive dividends for the
affected period or future period as the case may be.
2.2.2 No Prior market for shares
While the Issuer's shares have not been previously listed on a regulated market, they have
been listed on the GXG First Quote. The GXG First Quote is not a full public exchange,
however it does allow for the creation of a market in the listed company's shares. The Issuer
delisted from the GXG First Quote in February 2014 in anticipation of applying for admission
on the Entry Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Despite being listed on the GXG First
Quote there was no material trading of the Issuer's shares through that exchange.
2.2.3 Post Offer Share Price may fluctuate considerably
In recent years, the stock markets have experienced significant fluctuations that often have
had nothing to do with the results of the companies whose shares have been traded thereon.
Market fluctuations and economic conditions in the current economic environment may
increase the volatility of the Shares. The market for the Shares may be influenced by economic
and market conditions and, to varying degrees, interest rates, currency exchange rates and
inflation rates in other European and other industrialised countries.
As a result, the price of the Shares following the Offer may be highly volatile. Factors that may
affect the share price include:
a. developments that impact the financial results of the Issuer and fluctuations in the financial
results of the Issuer;
b. changes in market expectations about the valuation of the Issuer;
c.
investors' assessments of the Issuer as well as changes in the valuation of its competitors
and the industries and markets in which it operates;
d. investors' perception as to the success and impact of this Offer and the strategy described
in this Prospectus;
e. changes in general conditions in the economy or the financial markets and other
developments affecting the Issuer, its subsidiary or its competitors; and
f.
potential litigation or regulatory action involving the Issuer and/or its subsidiary or industry
sectors influencing the businesses of the Issuer and/or its subsidiary.
There can be no assurance that events in Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, Europe, or
elsewhere will not cause market volatility or that such volatility will not adversely affect the
price of the Shares or that economic and market conditions will not have any other adverse
effect.
2.2.4 Sale of substantial numbers of shares following the Offer
Sales of a substantial number of Shares in the public market following the Offer, or the
perception that these sales might occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price for
the Shares and materially impair the Issuer's future ability to raise capital through offers of
Shares or securities relating to the Shares.
Upon completion of the Offer and at Full Subscription, the Issuer will have a total of 23,888,405
Shares on issue, of which 2,388,840 will be freely tradeable. The remaining Shares, which will
total 21,499,565, including Shares held by the Directors, will be subject to a lock-up of 12
months from 1 March 2014. After this lock-up period expires, these Shares may be sold in the
public market. If a large number of Shares are sold in the public market at once, the market
price of the Shares could fall significantly.
2.2.5 Risks arising from the Shares being traded on a stock market not regulated by the EU
and national legislation
In Europe, there are two ways to access the capital market:
a. securities can be admitted to and traded at EU-regulated markets (defined as Organised
Markets or Regulated Markets under the European Directive 2001/34/EC and as defined
in respective national legislation, such as Section 2, paragraph 5 of the German Securities
Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz – WpHG)); or
b. alternatively, securities can be traded on stock markets which are regulated by the stock
exchanges themselves (Stock Exchange Regulated Markets).
The Organised Markets or Regulated Markets are governed by national securities laws. In
Germany, the Organised or Regulated Markets are governed, inter alia, by the German
Securities Trading Act. The Stock Exchange-Regulated Markets are generally governed by
private law, with only limited application of the statutory provisions of the German Securities
Trading Act, such as a prohibition of insider trading and market abuse.
The German Stock Exchange-Regulated Markets are established in accordance with Section
48 of the German Stock Exchange Act (Börsengesetz) and governed by private law of the
respective stock markets' General Terms and Conditions.
Entry Standard as a segment of the Open Market at Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter
Wertpapierbörse) is a Stock Exchange Regulated Market and therefore not an Organised
Market or Regulated Market as defined under the European Directive 2001/34/EC and Section
2 paragraph 5 of the German Securities Trading Act.

5. Details of the Offer

5.1 Securities

5.1.1 Type and class of securities
The Shares, including the Offer Shares, are ordinary shares in the Issuer. The Shares in
the Issuer were created under the Act and are regulated by the Financial Services and
Markets Act. The liability of the members of the Company is limited to the value of their
respective shareholding.
5.1.2 Listing and Trading
5.1.2.1 Admission to Entry Standard
Inclusion of the Offer Shares to trading on the Open Market in the Entry Standard segment
of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse) and commencement of
trading of the Offer Shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter
Wertpapierbörse) on the Entry Standard is expected to take place during the month of
June 2014
The inclusion of the Offer Shares to trading on the Entry Standard segment of the
Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse) is subject to the relevant
provisions within the Exchange Rules for the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter
Wertpapierbörse) (Börsenordnung für die Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse) as of 16
December 2013 and the General Terms and Conditions of Deutsche Börse AG for the
Regulated Unofficial Market (Freiverkehr) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Allgemeine
Geschäftsbedingungen der Deutsche Börse AG für den Freiverkehr an der Frankfurter
Wertpapierbörse) as of 26 July 2013.
The provisions in the German Securities Trading Act regarding the notification, publication
and transmission of inside information and the provisions in the German Securities
Trading Act relating to notification, publication and transmission of changes in the
percentage of voting rights are not applicable to shares being traded at Entry Standard,
and therefore not applicable to the Issuer.
Similarly, as the Entry Standard is not an "organised" or "regulated market", the German
Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (Wertpapierübernahmegesetz – WpÜG) is not
applicable to shares being traded at Entry Standard, and therefore not applicable to the
Issuer. The Issuer is, however, currently subject to the provisions of the UK City Code on
Takeovers and Mergers.
With regard to the Issuer's Shares being traded on a stock market not regulated by EU
regulations and national statutory law, please also see the
5.1.2.2 Clearing Codes

The International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) is GB00BLG2TX24. The German
Securities Identification Number (WKN) is A110V1.The Frankfurt Stock Exchange ticker
symbol is expected to be RNP and will be issued soon after this Prospectus has been
passported from the UKLA to BaFin.
Any further clearing codes or identification numbers that apply to the Shares will be
published on the Website.
5.1.2.3 Paying Agent
As long as the Shares are listed on the Entry Standard, the Issuer will maintain a principal
paying agent (Zahlstelle) in Germany. The Issuer is yet to appoint the principal paying
agent and will provide details on the Website once the appointment has been made.
5.1.2.4 Expenses
The Issuer will pay all brokerage and placing fees associated with the Offer. The Issuer
will also pay incidental costs such as insurance, accounting, tax advice and certain legal
fees relating to the Issuer which the Issuer estimates will not exceed €50,000.
5.1.2.5 Form of the Shares, settlement and clearing
Initially, no share certificates will be issued for the Offer Shares, and share certificates will
not be available for physical delivery to individuals in the Offer. Delivery of the Offer
Shares will be made in book-entry form through the facilities of CREST and Clearstream.
5.1.2.6 Admission of Shares to Crest
The Articles permit the holding of Shares under the CREST system and the Issuer will
apply for the Offer Shares to be admitted to CREST with effect from admission to trading
and listing.
CREST is a paperless settlement procedure operated by Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited
enabling securities to be evidenced otherwise than by a certificate and transferred
otherwise than by a written instrument. Accordingly, settlement of transactions involving
the transfer of legal title to Shares held in uncertificated form following admission to trading
and listing will take place within the CREST system.
CREST is a voluntary system. Following admission to listing and trading, holders of
Shares who wish to receive and retain share certificates will be able to do so. However, it
is not permitted for Share certificates to be issued in respect of Shares which are
simultaneously admitted to CREST.
Shareholders who wish to hold their Shares in certificated form would need to withdraw
their Shares from CREST and would not be able to settle transactions in such Shares
through CREST (or through Clearstream) without first submitting the certificates for
dematerialisation into CREST.
No provision has been made for physical settlement of Shares held in certificated form in
connection with the Issuer's listing and inclusion to trading on the Entry Standard.
5.1.2.7 Transfer of Shares from CREST to Clearstream
Upon admission to trading and listing, all the Offer Shares will be delivered through
CREST to the UK Custodian on behalf of Clearstream.
5.1.2.8 Representation and Form of Shares for trading in Clearstream
The interests in the Offer Shares will be traded in electronic form on the Entry Standard.
The UK Custodian will be the legal owner of the Shares in accordance with the laws of
England and Wales.
The Offer Shares being transferred into CREST and held by the UK Custodian on behalf
of Clearstream are traded in Clearstream by way of co-ownership in a global bearer
certificate issued by Clearstream for the Offer Shares. The global bearer certificate
duplicates the Offer Shares. The duplicate certification in a global bearer certificate is
required because registered shares of English companies do not fulfil the legal
requirements for tradable securities under German securities and depositary laws.
Accordingly, for the purpose of good delivery of the Offer Shares to Entry Standard,
Clearstream will issue the global bearer certificate for the relevant number of Offer Shares
to be included to trading at Entry Standard.
The co-ownership in the global bearer certificate conveys to the co-owner (i.e. the
beneficial owner of the Shares held by the UK Custodian on behalf of Clearstream),
through his or her depositary bank and in proportion to his or her share in the global
bearer certificate, all rights arising from the Shares. Cash dividends will be passed on by
Clearstream to the co-owner in his or her capacity as the beneficial Shareholder.
The same applies to the exercise and/or benefit of other shareholder rights, such as
subscription rights, stock dividends, and shares from stock splits. Any holder of Shares
being admitted to CREST and traded through Clearstream shall be entitled, at his or her
expense, to have his or her Shares delivered through his or her depositary bank to the UK
Custodian, for crediting them to the safe custody account of Clearstream against issuance
of corresponding co-ownership shares in the global bearer certificate.
In the event of any change in the number of Shares represented by the global bearer
certificate (e.g. in cases of deliveries to the safe custody account, withdrawals from the
safe custody account or allotment of Shares), Clearstream shall amend the global bearer
certificate accordingly.
5.1.2.9 Delivery of the Offer Shares to investors in the Offer
The Offer Shares will be credited by Clearstream to the accounts of institutions (brokerage
houses and depository banks) that participate in Clearstream ("Clearstream
Participants"). The Clearstream Participants, in turn, will credit the Offer Shares to the
accounts held with them by investors in the Offer or by those investors' nominees in
accordance with settlement instructions placed by investors and in a manner and time as
instructed by the Issuer. Payment for the Offer Shares will be effected in Euros, unless
otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the Applicant.
Subsequent settlement of transactions made on Entry Standard will be made in book-entry
form through the facilities of Clearstream only.

5.1.2.10 Holding of the Shares held through Clearstream
Neither the Clearstream Participants (shown in the records of Clearstream), nor the
persons shown in the records of such Clearstream Participants as owners of the Shares
held through Clearstream will:
(a) have the Shares registered in their names in the Issuer's register of members;
(b) receive physical delivery of definitive certificates evidencing their interest in the
Shares; or
(c) be considered the registered holders of the Shares in accordance with the laws
of England and Wales.
Accordingly, such persons will not necessarily be considered as shareholders for the
purpose of the laws of England and Wales in respect of the Shares they hold through
Clearstream.
Instead, the UK Custodian will be entered in the Issuer's register of members as the
registered holder of such Shares and will, for the purpose of the laws of England and
Wales, be considered to have legal title to the Shares (subject to the beneficial interests of
investors who hold their Shares through Clearstream).
In order to become the registered holder of the Shares they hold through Clearstream,
such investors would need to instruct the UK Custodian (or to instruct the Clearstream
Participant which holds their Shares through Clearstream on their behalf to instruct the UK
Custodian) to withdraw the relevant number of Shares from Clearstream and CREST, and
notify the Issuer or its share registrar of the persons to whom physical share certificates
should be issued. However, such certificated Shares would not be capable of settlement
through Clearstream (nor CREST) and would need to be resubmitted to CREST for
dematerialisation and transfer to the UK Custodian if that shareholder subsequently
wished to be able to settle transactions in those Shares through Clearstream.
Transaction on Shares effected on the Entry Standard
5.1.2.11 Investors who hold their Shares through Clearstream will be able to transfer such Shares
in accordance with the rules and procedures of Clearstream only. Settlement (delivery and
payment) of transactions on the Entry Standard will be effected through Clearstream only.
5.1.2.12 Voting rights and distributions under the Shares held through Clearstream
In order to exercise voting rights in relation to their Shares, investors who hold their
Shares through Clearstream must send an instruction order to their depositary bank which
sends an instruction to Clearstream (or must instruct the Clearstream Participant which
holds their Shares through Clearstream on their behalf to send an instruction order to
Clearstream) in respect of the exercise of the voting right.
Clearstream will then notify the UK Custodian of the number of votes cast for or against
the relevant resolution and the UK Custodian will in turn exercise such voting rights
through CREST as the registered holder of the Shares. The UK Custodian may be
prepared to grant written letters of representation to individual holders of Shares through
Clearstream, enabling them to attend and speak at a general meeting and to vote the
Shares in which they are interested.
Rights and entitlements attached to the Shares under the laws of England and Wales,
including rights and entitlements to distributions, to information, to make choices and
elections and to call for, attend and vote at meetings will be passed on through
Clearstream in the form in which they are received by the UK Custodian together with any
amendments and additional documentation necessary to effect such passing-on. All
distributions will be made to the UK Custodian, in the first instance, as the registered
holder of the Shares, which will, in turn, pass them through Clearstream Participants to the
holders of the Shares held through Clearstream.
5.1.3 Currency
The Issuer's functional currency is GBP. The majority of the Rapid Nutrition Group's
Revenue is denominated in currencies other than the GBP, principally Australian Dollars.
Exchange rate movements can affect comparability of its operational results between
accounting periods.
5.1.4 Rights
5.1.4.1 Dividends
Please refer to Section 14.1for information relating to dividends.
5.1.4.2 Voting Rights
Each Share (including the Shares held through Clearstream) carries one vote at
shareholders meetings.
5.1.4.3 Pre-emption rights
Under section 561 of the UK Companies Act, the Issuer may not allot:
(i) Shares in the Issuer; or
(ii) rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, Shares in the Issuer (together, "equity
securities")
to a person on any terms unless it has made an offer to each person who holds
Shares in the Issuer to allot to him on the same or more favourable terms a proportion of
those securities that is as nearly as practicable equal to the proportion in nominal value
held by him of the share capital of the Issuer. The Offer must state a period during which it
may be accepted of at least 14 days beginning with the date on which the Offer is sent or
supplied (in the case of offers made in hard copy form), sent (in the case of offers made in
electronic form) or published (in the case of offers made by publication in the Gazette) and
the Offer may not be withdrawn before the end of that period.
The statutory pre-emption rights set out in section 561 of the UK Companies Act
do not apply to the allotment of bonus shares, the allotment of equity securities for non
cash consideration or the allotment of equity securities pursuant to an employees' share
Where the Directors are authorised to allot Shares in the Issuer for the purposes
of section 551 of the UK Companies Act, the Issuer may by a special resolution of the
Shareholders authorise the Directors to allot equity securities for cash consideration as if
the statutory pre-emption rights under section 561 of the UK Companies Act did not apply
to such allotment. Such authority may be granted by Shareholders for the same period as
the authority granted for the purposes of section 551 of the UK Companies Act or such
shorter period as the special resolution may specify.
On 31 March 2014 a special resolution was passed in a general meeting of the
Issuer to give the directors power to allot up to £10,048,308 of Shares (or equivalent
amount in other denomination) in the period up to 31 December 2014, or the date of the
next Annual General meeting whichever occurs first, as if section 561 of the Act did not
apply to any such allotment.
5.1.4.4 Liquidation rights
Subject to any specific limitations imposed by the Offer, the holders of the Shares will
under general law be entitled to share in any surplus assets in a winding up in proportion
to their shareholdings.
The Board will have power in the name and on behalf of the Issuer to present a petition to
the court for the Issuer to be wound up.
If the Issuer is wound up, a liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution
and any other sanction required by the UK Insolvency Act 1986 divide among the
shareholders the whole or any part of the assets of the Issuer.
5.1.5 Approval of Offer
The allotment of the Offer Shares was approved by the Board and by a resolution of the
Shareholders at general meeting on 31 March 2014.
5.1.6 Issue Date
The anticipated date of issue of the Offer Shares is 29 August 2014.
5.1.7 Holding Lock
A minimum of 10% of the total securities of the issuer will be free trading. Apart from this
the Issuer's Shareholders have consented to the Issuer imposing a holding lock on their
Shares for a period of 12 months from 1 March 2014. The Issuer at its discretion may vary
the holding lock for any purpose; and one such purpose would be to comply with any
listing rules, which require a certain amount of 'free float' on the exchange.
There are a number of restrictions and other rules about the transferability of shares in UK
companies. Such restrictions and rules originate from a number of sources and include:
(a) The UK Companies Act;
(b) The Takeover Code; and
(c) the general laws of the UK and Wales.
Such laws may impose restrictions on the free transfer, or positive obligations on
or otherwise.
The Issuer recommends that Applicants obtain professional advice in relation to the
suitability of the Shares in this regard, as the Issuer is unable to provide information
relevant to every possible Applicant's circumstances.
5.1.8 Takeover Bids
There are no mandatory takeover bids and/or squeeze-out and sell out rules in relation to
the securities.
There have been no public takeover bids by third parties in respect of the issuer's equity,
which have occurred during the last financial year or the current financial year.
5.1.9 Taxes
5.1.9.1 Issuers responsibility for withholding taxes
The following paragraphs include advice received by the Directors on the current tax
position of shareholders who are resident or ordinarily resident in the UK for tax purposes
and holding Ordinary Shares beneficially as investments. The statements below are
intended only as a general guide and do not constitute advice to any shareholder on his
personal tax position and may not apply to certain classes of investor who may be subject
to special rules (such as dealers in securities, insurance companies, charities, collective
investment schemes or pension providers). The comments are based on current
legislation and H.M. Revenue & Customs practice at the date of this document.
Any investor who is in doubt as to their tax position or who is subject to taxation in a
jurisdiction other than the UK, should consult his or her own professional advisers
immediately.
Shareholders should note that the levels and bases of, and relief from, taxation may
change and that changes may affect benefits of investment in the Issuer. This summary is
not exhaustive and does not generally consider tax relief or exemptions.
5.1.9.2 Taxation of dividends
The Issuer will not be required to withhold tax at source when paying a dividend.
An individual shareholder who is resident in the UK for tax purposes and who receives a
dividend from the Issuer will generally be entitled to a non-refundable tax credit which he
may set off against his total income tax liability on the dividend. The tax credit will be equal
to 10 percent of the aggregate of the dividend and the tax credit (the "gross dividend"),
which is also equal to one-ninth of the cash dividend received. A UK resident individual
shareholder who is liable to income tax at the starting or basic rate only will be subject to
tax on the dividend at the rate of 10 percent of the gross dividend, so that the tax credit will
satisfy in full any such shareholder's liability to income tax on the dividend. A UK resident
individual shareholder who is liable to income tax at the higher rate of 40 percent will be
liable to tax on the gross dividend at the rate of 32.5 percent. A UK resident individual
shareholder liable to income tax at the additional rate of income tax of 50 percent (broadly,
an individual with taxable income in excess of £150,000) will be liable to tax on the gross
dividend at the rate of 42.5 percent. After taking into account the 10 percent tax credit,
such individuals will have to account for additional tax equal to 22.5 percent of the gross
dividend (which is also equal to 25 percent of the cash dividend received) or 32.5 percent
of the gross dividend respectively (which is also equal to 36.1 percent of cash dividends
received).
UK resident taxpayers who are not liable to UK tax on dividends, including pension funds
and charities, will not be entitled to claim repayment of the tax credit attaching to dividends
paid by the Issuer.
Subject to certain exceptions, a shareholder which is a company resident for tax purposes
in the UK and which receives a dividend paid by another company resident for tax
purposes in the UK will not generally have to pay corporation tax in respect of it. Such
shareholders will not be able to claim repayment of tax credits attaching to dividends.
Persons who are not resident in the UK should consult their own tax advisers concerning
their tax liabilities on dividends received from the Issuer and on whether they can benefit
from all or part of any tax credit in the jurisdiction in which they are resident.
5.1.9.3 Taxation of chargeable gains
If a shareholder disposes of any or all of his Ordinary Shares in the Issuer he may incur a
liability to tax on chargeable gains depending upon the shareholder's particular
circumstances and subject to any available exemptions and reliefs. Companies are
entitled to indexation allowance which may also reduce the chargeable gain.
5.1.9.4 Stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax (SDRT)
No liability to stamp duty or SDRT will generally arise on the allotment and issue of new
Ordinary Shares for cash by the Issuer.
5.1.10 Shares held outside the CREST system
The conveyance or transfer on sale of the Ordinary Shares will usually be subject to stamp
duty on the instrument or transfer, generally at the rate of 0.5 percent of the amount or
value of the consideration. Stamp duty is charged in multiples of £5 and is rounded up. An
obligation to account for SDRT at the rate of 0.5 percent of the amount or value of the
consideration will also arise if an unconditional agreement to transfer the ordinary shares
is not completed by a duly stamped instrument of transfer before the accountable date for
SDRT purposes. The accountable date is the seventh day of the month following the
month in which the agreement for the transfer is made. Payment of the stamp duty will
cancel the liability to account for SDRT. It is the purchaser who is in general liable to
account for stamp duty or SDRT.
5.1.11 Shares held within the CREST system
The transfer of the Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form in the CREST system will
generally attract a liability to SDRT at the rate of 0.5 percent of the amount or value of the
consideration. The SDRT is payable on the fourteenth day following the date of the
unconditional agreement for the transfer of the Ordinary Shares.
The above statements are intended as a general guide to the current stamp duty and
SDRT position. Certain categories of person are not liable to stamp duty or SDRT and
others may be liable at a higher rate as mentioned above or may, although not primarily
liable for the tax, be required to notify and account for it under the Stamp Duty Reserve
Tax Regulations 1986.
Special rules apply to agreements made by market intermediaries and to certain sale and
repurchase and stock borrowing arrangements. Agreements to transfer Ordinary Shares to
charities will not give rise to SDRT or stamp duty.
5.1.12 Inheritance Tax
The inheritance tax status of individual Shareholders' Ordinary Shares will depend upon
their personal circumstances. Shareholders should consult with their professional advisers
if they are concerned with the potential inheritance tax implications of their shares in the
Issuer.

6. Letter from the Managing Director

It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to Rapid Nutrition PLC, a fast growing Healthcare company that is a pioneer in the field of healthcare supplements and is experiencing significant international success.

Treating obesity has become a major area of focus for us. It is one of the most common, and fastest growing health concerns in the world.

As an established and respected manufacturer of weight loss products, that puts Rapid Nutrition in a very favourable position in the worldwide market. Not only do we have a proven and comprehensive weight loss and lifestyle system, but we are working towards a future as a major health care provider – a goal we have set ourselves that appears to be coming to fruition more swiftly than we could have imagined.

Our aim is to be absolutely certain that we are releasing the very best of what nature has to offer onto the market.

7. Information on the Company and the Group

7.1 Information About the Issuer

7.1.1 Background
The Rapid Nutrition Business consists of the development, manufacture and distribution of
a range of healthcare supplements designed to address obesity. The Rapid Nutrition
Business was founded by Simon St Ledger in 2001, and he continues to act as the CEO of
that business.
The Issuer was incorporated in January 2012 to act as a holding company for Rapid
Nutrition Pty Ltd and the Rapid Nutrition Business which it operates, and to assist with the
global expansion of that business.
Rapid Nutrition Pty Ltd (an Australian Company) became a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Issuer on 24 July 2012 and is the primary trading entity in the Group. The Issuer itself
operates solely as a holding company of the Subsidiary and does not conduct any other
business.
The business has grown from servicing only the Australian market to the point where it
now has two product ranges being distributed in nine countries, including the USA, the
United Kingdom and China.

While the Subsidiary will continue to grow its business the Issuer is also actively seeking
further merger and acquisition targets to accelerate penetration into existing and new
markets and to broaden its product portfolio. There are however currently no targets which
are sufficiently advanced to warrant disclosure in this Prospectus.

7.1.3 The issuer was registered through Companies House, UK (Coy. No. 7905640) and its
registered address is 2nd Floor, 145-157 St John Street, London EC 1V 4PY, United

January 2012.
7.1.5 The Issuer operates pursuant to the UK Companies Act 1985 (as amended) and the
Companies Act 2006.
7.1.6 Investments
The Issuer has made two significant investments since its incorporation. Both investments
were made in exchange for equity in the Issuer, and both relate to the expansion of the
Rapid Nutrition Business into the USA. The Issuer does not currently have any
investments that are in progress, nor any that are planned and for which firm commitments
have been made.
7.1.6.1 Motivate Health Technology Inc
The Issuer has formed a joint venture with Nevada based Motivate Health Technology Inc
to create a weight-loss video application for use on mobile phones and other internet
connected devices. It is an incorporated joint venture and the Issuer received 15% of the
issued capital in Motivate in exchange for US\$2.25 million worth of shares in the Issuer
being transferred to Motivate. The agreement was entered into on 17 August 2011 with the
Subsidiary and that agreement was assigned to the Issuer on the Issuer acquiring the
Australian Subsidiary on 24 July 2012. The transfer of shares from the Issuer to Motivate
Health Technology was completed on 22 November 2013.
Motivate specialises in the application of 21st century media technology and custom video
programming to assist customers in attaining their health goals.
Motivate will incorporate its existing products and services as well as consumable weight
loss products developed by Rapid Nutrition into the new joint venture.
The Issuer expects this product/service combination has the potential to gain a material
share of the \$57 billion dollar annual market for consumer weight loss products and
services in the US.
NewsUSA
A US\$10 million pre-paid media investment has been made with News USA, Inc. 2841
Hartland Road, Suite 301, Falls Church, VA 22043 a Delaware corporation a media

7.1.8 US Market Entry Approach
Distribution: Contact will be made with the major national distributors and the key
nutrition distributors to present the product line. These presentations include an annual
marketing plan and partnership that uses the resources provided by each distributor to
assist in the process of launching our brand. The annual plan will include the retail
promotion calendar, the level of advertising support with the distributor, introduction
allowances (slotting), distributor sponsored trade shows and table tops that help a brand
gain maximum exposure to the distributors retailers and key sales personnel. During this
phase the company will also be informing the market (distributors & retailers) of the

company's NewsUSA advertising programme which will deliver external advertising to build brand awareness and create demand.

Retailers: The company has identified key retailers in the five major geographical areas that represent the core US market. The target list represents the major accounts that control the grocery market share in each respective region. The company has also noted independent natural food stores in each region which play a key role in the successful launch of health food brands. These stores explain products to their customers and help them to understand how the product works and should be used, and typically provide the foundation required to build a solid retail business in this market. Success with the independents is also the first step to securing distribution through the major grocery chains which prefer to stock category leading brands.

Industry Events: There are some major trade shows that the company will be attending in addition to the distributor related events. Expo West & Expo East are the two major shows in this industry and Rapid Nutrition will be presenting at both. There are a number of regional shows that the company will also consider attending in 2014.

Nutrition Business and to acquire all of the shares in Rapid Nutrition Pty Ltd for that purpose. On 24 July 2012 Rapid Nutrition Pty Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary of Rapid Nutrition PLC.

Rapid Nutrition specialises in a range of healthcare supplements designed to address obesity. Obesity has become a major area of health focus for the Rapid Nutrition Business. According to the World Health Organisation obesity is one of the most common, and fastest growing health concerns in the world. It is a global health epidemic which has been linked to the rise of other diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure, back pain, high cholesterol and even certain types of cancer.

Rapid Nutrition exports its products globally. The supplements fit into the category of 'Neutraceuticals' being food sources that provide extra health benefits over and above the basic nutritional value found in foods.

The product range includes:

Leisa's Secret® Brand (introduced in 2001):

  • Leisa's Secret® Premium Meal Replacement (Shake)
  • Leisa's Secret® Energize (Tablets)
  • Leisa's Secret® Advanced Thermo (Tablets)

  • System LS™ Zest – organic multi-vitamin

The products have all been developed directly by Rapid Nutrition's team of dieticians, naturopaths and pharmaceutical specialists and all intellectual property is owned by Rapid Nutrition.

The products are nutritional diet supplements which are intended as additions to the diet. They contain concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals and other substances such as natural herbs with a nutritional benefit.

Nutritional supplements are regulated by the applicable regulations and regulatory body in each country in which Rapid Nutrition operates.

The Rapid Nutrition products are not pharmaceutical in nature.

Rapid Nutrition has a broad range of product categories and development technologies with different timeframes to the market. A key strength of the Company is that it has current revenue and earnings while having technologies in development that can ensure sustainable growth. The company has established distribution relationships in three separate regions worldwide and has product registrations and successful export business

in a number of countries within these regions.

The company's success to date can be attributed to meticulous research, quality product

ranges and detailed strategies to steer our products through the most effective distribution
channels. These attributes have enabled us to establish ourselves as a fast-growing
business in the weight loss industry.
7.2.3
Rapid Nutrition has been distributing the Leisa's Secret® products since the business
commenced in 2001. In 2013 Rapid Nutrition launched a new product range called System
LS™, which is a complete, organic weight loss system.
Thanks to strong interest both locally and globally, the new System LS™ organic lifestyle
range was recently approved by Woolworth's, Australia's supermarket giant, which has
820 stores throughout Australia, and commenced a national rollout of the product range in
October 2013.
In addition, Rapid Nutrition has secured a five-year distribution contract in Europe with
Biolynx Limited, a company with extensive experience dealing with products in this
industry and with good access to a number of large European markets. Rapid Nutrition
currently offers its healthcare products globally, including Asia, UK, Middle East and is
expanding to the United States this quarter, and System LS™ is being introduced into all
of these distribution channels.
System LS™ includes six innovative products and all are based on natural and organic
ingredients which is a rapidly growing sub-sector in this industry. The products
complement each other to enhance the impact of each component. The range includes a
premium metabolising thermogenic formula, organic multi vitamin, energizing and fat
burning liquid shot, Hi Fiber Bar, a natural low calorie sugar substitute, and comprehensive
meal replacement.
To further enhance the effectiveness of System LS™, the products are supported with a
revolutionary video phone app, giving consumers encouragement and motivation 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week. This engagement strategy is proving to be highly effective and is
making System LS™ a serious competitor in the marketplace. More information on
System LS™, which focuses on getting "slim with science," is available at:

Principal Markets
7.2.4
According to a new healthcare market research report 'Global Weight Loss and Gain
Market (2009 - 2014)', published by MarketsandMarkets (www.marketsandmarkets.com),
the total global weight loss market is expected to be valued at US\$586.3 billion by 2014.

The food and beverage (F&B) market is the largest segment and is expected to reach US\$355.7 billion by 2014 at a CAGR of 12.2%. The F&B market owes its growth to the introduction of new components in this segment, as well as increased demand from consumers.

The U.S. is the largest geographical segment; and is expected to be worth US\$310 billion by 2014. . Its 12.2% CAGR (2009 to 2014) is driven by the greater availability of products and services, as well as greater consumer awareness in this region.

Brand - Leisa's Secret

A key strength of the Company is that it has current revenue and earnings while having
technologies in development that can ensure sustainable growth. The company has
established relationships in three separate regions worldwide and has product
registrations and successful export business in a number of countries within these regions.
The new SystemLS™ lifestyle products are attracting strong interest in Australia and the
USA already with Australia's largest supermarket chain Woolworths already accepting the
innovative natural and organic products onto its retail shelves across the country.
Highest priorities in respect of the weight loss and weight maintenance range in 2014 are
the expanding of distribution agreements in Europe, and to complete the new System
LS™ product launch in the USA and Australia. Significant long term distribution
contracts are in place for Asia and the Middle East and these alone should provide
financial stability for the Issuer in 2014.
7.2.5 The development of products by the Issuer is governed by the Therapeutic Goods
Administration in Australia and by various health authorities in each country into which the
company will be importing or exporting. The company must ensure that each of its
products meet these strict regulations before it can be licensed to sell the products.
As all of the products offered by the company are intended for human consumption the
regulatory approvals in each region in which Rapid Nutrition operates are essential to its
core business. To date the Issuer has had no difficulty in obtaining these approvals, and
no regulatory authority has raised any material issues about the Issuer's products or taken
any steps which could have lead to an approval being withdrawn. From time to time the
approval process has however delayed entry into new markets.
The Issuer currently has a manufacturing agreement in place with various facilities to meet
the demands of the customers of Rapid Nutrition. The facilities each have specific
accreditation in their region to produce the Rapid Nutrition products, and they give Rapid
Nutrition the ability to supply the market with their product in various forms: tablets, hard
capsule or soft gelatine. This establishes a reliable source of products and helps ensure
that health regulations are capable of being met quickly and cost-effectively.
In addition to its current supplier, Rapid Nutrition has a number of additional accredited
suppliers in Australia and the USA available who can come online if necessary to meet
demand. Trial production runs have been used to confirm the suitability of these suppliers.
7.2.6 There are a number of competitors and products in the weight-loss industry. The market is
large and fragmented with only a small number of products holding any substantial market
share. On a global basis the products with the largest market share in 2013 were Herbalife
(Herbalife Ltd) with 21.2%, Slim Fast (Unilever Group) with 2.9%, Kellogg's Special K
(Kellogg Co) with 2.7% and Herbalife ShapeWorks (Herbalife Ltd) with 2.1%. All other

products had less than 2% of the market.

Because the market is so fragmented there is little risk of a competitor having sufficient market power to significantly restrict Rapid Nutrition's growth, and with such a large number of competitors Rapid Nutrition expects to be able to grow its business for many years before it draws any attention from larger competitors seeking to protect their market share.

Rapid Nutrition's leading range of scientifically formulated products has a competitive advantage in that it is based on a no nonsense approach that targets the main issues relating to weight loss; replacing meals, burning fats, staying energized and resisting carbohydrates and certain problem foods. Additionally, the Issuer ensures it stays ahead of market trends by utlising its extensive relationships in various Australian government bodies and key opinion leaders who proactively support the company.

Whilst some other programs encourage users to markedly alter their patterns of eating to a point that they may actually be losing out on essential vitamins and nutrients, the Issuer's flagship ranges can be used in conjunction with a balanced diet in order to cut down food intake. In addition to this, the products also help users to get the necessary vitamins and minerals they need to lose weight and stay healthy whilst doing so.

The Issuer's product ranges don't require customers to attend any meetings (as some others do), which can be a barrier for those who are time poor. The products allow users to put together their own weight-loss regime, based on their own needs and personal goals.

7.3 Organisational Structure

7.3.1 The following description of the RNL's Group is to be read in conjunction with the
organisation chart below.
The Issuer (a UK company) is the ultimate holding company of the RNL Group. The Issuer
has one wholly owned subsidiary, Rapid Nutrition Pty Ltd (an Australian company) which
operates the Rapid Nutrition Business.
The Issuer, as the ultimate holding company with 100% effective ownership of the
Australian company in the RNL Group, can control the subsidiary and is positioned to
receive the benefit of the profits generated by the RNL Group as a whole.

7.4 Property, Plant and Equipment

7.4.1 The business holds no major items of property, plant or equipment. All other assets are set
out in the accounts as provided.
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses.
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets over their
estimated useful lives, using the straight line method, on the following bases:
Computer equipment 30%
Motor vehicles 20%
Fixture, fittings and equipment 30%
Trademark and Licenses:
Separately acquired trademarks and licences are shown at historical cost. Trademarks
and licences acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the
acquisition date. Once utilisation commences, trademarks and licences have a finite useful
life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using
the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademarks and licences over their
estimated useful lives of 15 to 20 years.

7.5 Capital Resources

7.6.1 Short Term: The Issuer continues to re-invest profits from the company's trading revenues to
support organic expansion of its global distribution into neighbouring markets where the
company is not already present. The company is now profitable and expects to have sufficient
cashflow to enable organic growth to be sustained at current rates.
Long Term: A successful listing on the Entry Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange will
assist the company to access external financial resources for the purpose of accelerating the
growth of the Rapid Nutrition Business.
7.6.2
The sales revenue for the past 12 months (as shown in the audited financial report) has been
derived from the following key markets:
Country Product Brand Proportion
of
Sales
Revenue in AU\$
Asia Leisa's Secret® \$273,000
Middle East Leisa's Secret® \$25,000
Eastern Europe Leisa's Secret® \$80,000
Australia Leisa's Secret® \$96,897
SystemLS™
Note: Figures below have been rounded for illustration purposes
To date the majority of relationships have been developed remotely with limited or no face to
face discussions.
Establishing a presence in key regional markets would enable Rapid Nutrition to drive
marketing activities in partnership with distribution companies in the most appropriate
channels. In addition relationships with regulatory agencies would be closer and strengthened
enabling issues to be resolved in much shorter timeframes. Product training and technical
support for distribution companies would be deliverable in a more responsive way along with
the proactive task of identifying new product opportunities.

The Company has examined a number of business models for securing, developing and maintaining international markets. The Company will in most circumstances maintain manufacturing rights and enter into marketing and distribution licence agreements on a territory by territory basis. To date the Company has entered into a number of such agreements in respect to countries in Europe, Middle East, Asia and Africa. Distribution agreements are for set terms and are in most cases subject to performance criteria in the form of minimum order quantities. It is intended to use Company staff and marketing agents to support local distributors. The table below summaries current distribution agreements.

The Company's highest priorities in respect of the weight loss and weight maintenance range in the immediate future are expanding distribution agreements in Europe, and completing market launches in the USA and Australia for its newly developed SystemLS™ product range.

The Middle East is one of the fastest growing markets for organic and natural products. Recent market trends provided evidence that the Gulf markets are witnessing a huge conversion to organic products on the back of increasing shifts towards a healthier lifestyle. Rapid Nutrition plans to capitalise on recent research and trends by introducing an 'Organic and Halal certified' Skincare Range that will see the company leverage its already well established Middle East distribution channels to market and sell the range.

Overall, Rapid Nutrition aims to become a major player in the natural healthcare market. The increasingly broad range of products will appeal to a society that is becoming ever more conscious about using quality natural products in order to achieve a healthier lifestyle.

7.6.3 The company has established a strong track record of value creation driven by capital discipline and a focus on returns. The company credits this to key management being

invested owners of the Issuer's shares and not just caretakers of assets. As a result the
group has strong support from management and founding shareholders to meet its current
borrowing requirements. These are provided as unsecured loans and details are set out in the
accounts provided.

7.6 Research and Development

7.7.1 Research costs are not viewed as separable from marketing and development costs. As
such, all of these costs are expensed as incurred and are not separately accounted for in the
Issuer's books of account.

7.7 Trend Information

7.8.1 The company has been experiencing a significant increase in its cost of manufacturing of its
products in Australia as a result of the strengthening Australian dollar, together with a general
increase in Australian labour costs. In a strategic move to mitigate the cost increase of its
products the company has relocated its manufacturing to the USA which has resulted in a
substantial reduction in its cost of manufacturing as well as providing an increased turn
around time for manufacturing.

11. Operating and Financial Review of Rapid Nutrition

The following review of the Group's financial condition and operating results should be read in conjunction with the financial information included elsewhere in this document.

11.1 Overview

11.1.1. The Company's current trading is summarised in Section 1of this document. Descriptions of the
Company's financial condition, changes in that condition and results of operations for each
financial year and interim period required to be disclosed in this document under the
Prospectus Rules are further referred to in paragraph Section 11.3 below. The audited annual
accounts for the period ended 30 June 2013 are included in this document in Section 13.1. The
Company's unaudited interim results for the period ended 31 March 2014 are included in this
document in Section 13.
The Company has been highly active over the past 12 months ensuring key milestones are
achieved as announced to the market place. As a result, a strong foundation has been laid that
will result in a significant impact on the performance and positioning of the company over the
next 12 months.
These performance indicators are based on the following which has been successfully secured:

5 year distribution contract in Turkey ( approximate value € 4.1 million)

Unanimously approved for a US government grant to establish US headquarters
(approximate value € \$6 million) which the company has the option to utilise if it deems
favourable.

Completed R&D on its new science-based health supplements product line, which has
attracted a significant interest from major retailers, resulting in the company securing
distribution through Australia's largest supermarket retailer which will add substantial
revenue for the company over the next 12 months. The board anticipates a similar
result for the US market launch.

The company has also formalised a USD\$10 million media agreement to supports its US
launch.
All these milestones further validates the company and shows the company's continued
commitment in the eyes of its employees, customers, shareholders, partners and future
investors.
Furthermore the newly expanded product portfolio along with the secured media spend
strengthens the company's product position in the market place to outside parties such as
distributors, suppliers and retailers.
Furthermore the media is expected to drive shareholder value through additional sales,

strategic partnerships and market pace awareness.

11.2 Changes in financial condition since interim period ending 31 March 2014

11.2.1. There has been no significant change in the financial or trading position of the Issuer which has occured since 31 March 2014, being the date to which the latest unaudited interim financial statements of the Rapid Nutrition Group were prepared.

11.3 Summary of Operating and Financial Review

11.3.1. This period has seen Rapid Nutrition take a significant step forward by converting to a public company which has been successfully admitted to the GXG Stock Exchange. As part of the listing process the company has also implemented a high level or corporate compliance by engaging and assembling an experienced corporate team, board of directors and advisors as well as an independent company secretary. These are all essential elements for laying a strong foundation for the company's future success and overall global growth strategy. By putting in place the necessary infrastructure of a new public company has resulted in the company incurring significantly more expenses 'above and beyond' its normal operational costs. Added to this the company has been in the research and development stage over the past 12 months for its new System LS™ lifestyle range which will be launched in the US and Australia in October 2013.

Rapid Nutrition also incurred a significant logistics hurdle with its Asia operations where FDA requirements for natural healthcare products changed, just after the company had shifted its manufacturing to the US and completed a large production run for Asia. This was a major set back in the company's anticipated revenue for the period, with the company having to hold back several thousand customer inquiries and anticipated orders in Asia as a result. The company is currently working through the process and has put in place several 'risk management' procedures to ensure this is avoided in any future production.

Whilst the board acknowledges the annual accounts may not reflect strong results, the board also firmly believes that the annual accounts are not a meaningful performance indicator of the foundation which has been laid over the past 12 months and what lays ahead over the next 12 months.

As reflected in the 6 months unaudited interim financials the company is seeing significant improvement in its position and growth in sales revenue with several international orders being received in addition to the company securing a 5-year international distribution contract in Turkey. As a result the company was recognised by the Australian Government as the Queensland state winner of the prestigious 'Premier of Queensland Export Awards for 2013'. Additionally, the company's newly developed SystemLS™ product range has gained

acceptance into Woolworths, Australia's largest supermarket retailer consisting of 820 stores.
11.4
Liquidity and Capital Resources
11.4.1. There has been no significant change to the liquidity and capital resources position of the
Group since 31 March 2014, the date to which the unaudited interim financial statements of the
Group are prepared.
The Company does not have any restriction on the use of its capital resources.
Treasury activities take place under procedures and policies approved and monitored by the
Board.

12. Capitalisation and Indebtedness Statement

12.1 Working Capital Statement

12.1.1 In the opinion of the Issuer, taking into account the availability of further unsecured
shareholder loans, the Group has sufficient working capital to meet its present
requirements, that is for at least the next 12 months following the date of this Prospectus.
12.1.2 The Issuer has negotiated shareholder loan facilities of €500,000 which it can draw on as
required should there be any shortfall in its working capital. These facilities are
unsecured, will accrue interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum from the time of draw down,
have a five year term and are repayable during the loan term only at such time as the
Board determines that the Issuer's cash-flow is sufficient to make such payments. In the
opinion of the Board this facility adequately addresses any matters raised by the auditors
regarding the potential adequacy of the Issuer's Working Capital.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2014

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

The statutory financial statements of Group plc are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of consolidated financial statements included in this interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union.

Going concern

This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As at 31 March 2014, the Group had a cash balance of \$1,945 while its net cash outflow for operating activities was \$201,082 in the period then ended.

The Directors recognise that the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and to pay its debts as and when they fall due may be dependent on settlement of substantial receivable balances, continued support of shareholders through short term loans, and successful realisation of revenue growth via their plans for successful launch of their new product lines. On this basis, the Directors believe there are sufficient funds to meet the Group's working capital requirements for the coming year.

Given the current cash position, the Group is dependent on its current trade receivables in order to pay its debts as and when they fall due, and support working capital requirements.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

Changes in accounting policy

For the current, interim financial period, the Group has noted no amendments to International Accounting Standards that will be effective for the first time. As such, the same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are followed in the condensed set of financial statements as applied in the Group's latest statutory audited financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2014

2. Operating Segments

Operating segments must be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

As a new group, currently in its growth phase, the Board (the Group's chief operating decision maker) believe that, at 31 March 2014, there was only one business segment, the life science and health food products market.

The revenue and results of this segment are those of the Group as a whole and are set out in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The segment assets and liabilities of this segment are those of the Group and are set out in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the interim financial report for the nine months ended 31 March 2014, prepared for the purpose of inclusion with the Company's prospectus to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. These interim financial statements have been prepared for the purpose of complying with item 20.1 of Annex I of the Prospectus Regulation.

The financial statements comprise the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, the condensed consolidated balance sheet, the condensed consolidated cash flow statement and related notes 1 to5. We have read the other information contained in the interim financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' responsibilities

The interim financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the interim financial report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

As disclosed in note1, the statutory financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of consolidated financial statements included in this interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the interim financial report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the interim financial report for the nine months ended 31 March 2014 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Emphasis of matter – Inherent uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group experienced net cash outflows of \$201,082 in the period, while it had cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period of \$1,945.

Given those noted findings, we believe that the Group's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Group receiving monies owed by trade receivables, financial support through shareholder loans, and successfully realising revenue growth via the Group's plans to launch their new product lines in the coming year.

Without the above funding arrangements coming to fruition, certain events may cast doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Declaration

For the purposes of Prospectus Rule 5.5.3R(2)(f), we are responsible for this report as part of the prospectus and declare that we have taken all reasonable care to ensure that the information contained in this report is, to the best of our knowledge, in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affects its import. This declaration is included in the prospectus in compliance with item 1.2 of Annex I and item 1.2 of Annex III of the Prospectus Directive Regulation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD 11 JANUARY 2012 TO 30 JUNE 2013; 1 JULY 2010 TO 10 JANUARY 2012

The consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Rapid Nutrition PLC and its subsidiary ("the consolidated group" or "group"). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared for the period 11 January 2012 to 30 June 2013 to reflect Rapid Nutrition PLC's first financial period following incorporation. Comparative figures for the period 1 July 2010 to 10 January 2012 have been included as the group has chosen to adopt the pooling of interests method to account for the merger of Rapid Nutrition PLC and its subsidiary.

The audited financial figures for the period 11 January 2012 to 30 June 2013 have been audited and are those as filed with Companies House for statutory compliance purposes. The audited comparative figures for the period 1 July 2010 to 10 January 2012 have been prepared specifically for the purposes of this financial report, for inclusion in the company's prospectus.

1. Significant accounting policies

1.1 Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements are drawn up under the historical cost convention.

IFRS, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) set out accounting policies that the IASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

1.2 Going concern

This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

For the period ended 30 June 2013, the Group had a cash balance of \$13,274 while it incurred expenses during the period of \$1,268,458. The Directors believe there are sufficient funds to meet the Group's working capital requirements for the coming year.

However, the Directors recognise that the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and to pay its debts as and when they fall due may be dependent on the ability of the Group to secure additional funding through shareholder loans, entering into negotiations with third parties regarding the sale of assets of the Group, or successful realisation of revenue growth via their plans for successful launch of their new product lines.

Given the current cash position, there is uncertainty about whether the Group can continue as a going concern.

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD 11 JANUARY 2012 TO 30 JUNE 2013; 1 JULY 2010 TO 10 JANUARY 2012

1.3 Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Rapid Nutrition PLC at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Rapid Nutrition PLC has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intragroup balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated in full on consolidation.

In the company statement of financial position investment in subsidiaries is accounted for at the nominal value of the shares issued on acquisition.

Pooling of Interests on Incorporation of Parent Entity

On incorporation of the entity, subsidiaries have been consolidated using the pooling of interests method on the basis that the entities being combined are ultimately controlled by the same parties, both before and after the combination.

Under this method the assets and liabilities of the acquiree are recorded at book value and intangible assets and contingent liabilities are only recognised if they were previously recognised by the acquiree. No goodwill is recorded and expenses of the combination are written off immediately in profit or loss.

Subsequent Business Combination

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exceptions).

When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured in each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

1.4 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied, stated net of discounts, returns and value added taxes. The group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the group's activities, as described below. The group bases its estimate of return on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD 11 JANUARY 2012 TO 30 JUNE 2013; 1 JULY 2010 TO 10 JANUARY 2012

Sales of goods – wholesale

The group manufactures and sells a range of life science (including weight loss) products in the wholesale market. Sales of goods are recognised when a group entity has delivered products to the wholesaler, the wholesaler has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the wholesaler's acceptance of the products. Delivery does not occur until the products have been shipped to the specified location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the wholesaler, and either the wholesaler has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed or the group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. The life science products are often sold with volume discounts; customers have a right to return faulty products in the wholesale market. Sales are recorded based on the price specified in the sales contracts, net of the estimated volume discounts and returns at the time of sale. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts and returns. The volume discounts are assessed based on anticipated annual purchases.

Internet revenue

Revenue from the provision of the sale of goods on the internet is recognised at the point that the risks and rewards of the inventory have passed to the customer, which is the point of dispatch. Transactions are settled by credit or payment card. Provisions are made for internet credit notes based on the expected level of returns, which in turn is based upon the historical rate of returns.

1.5 Finance income

Interest income is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

1.6 Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets over their estimated useful lives, using the straight line method, on the following bases:

Computer equipment 30%
Motor vehicles 20%
Fixture, fittings and equipment 30%

1.7 Intangible Assets

Trademarks and licences

Separately acquired trademarks and licences are shown at historical cost. Trademarks and licences acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Once utilisation commences, trademarks and licences have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademarks and licences over their estimated useful lives of 15 to 20 years.

1.8 Research and Development

Research costs are not viewed as separable from development costs. As such, all of these costs are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD 11 JANUARY 2012 TO 30 JUNE 2013; 1 JULY 2010 TO 10 JANUARY 2012

1.9 Financial Assets

Classification

The group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available for sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months, otherwise they are classified as non-current.

(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The group's loans and receivables comprise 'trade and other receivables' and 'cash and cash equivalents' in the balance sheet.

(c) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months of the end of the reporting period.

Recognition and measurement

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date – the date on which the group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are presented in the income statement within 'other (losses)/gains – net' in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the income statement as part of other income when the group's right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available for sale are recognised in other comprehensive income. When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the income statement as 'gains and losses from investment securities'.

Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the income statement as part of finance income. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in the income statement as part of other income when the group's right to receive payments is established.

In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the consolidated balance sheet, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.11 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the firstin, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises design costs, raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. Costs of inventories include the transfer from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges for purchases of raw materials.

1.12 Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

1.13 Trade Payables

Trade and other payables are recognised when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services. They are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Current liabilities represent those amounts falling due within one year.

1.14 Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable and payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with the receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

1.15 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD 11 JANUARY 2012 TO 30 JUNE 2013; 1 JULY 2010 TO 10 JANUARY 2012

1.16 Income Tax

Income tax expense or benefit represents the sum of current corporation tax payable and provision for deferred income taxes.

Current income tax payable is based on taxable profit for the period or year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current corporation tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the period-end date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the date of the statement of financial position where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more tax, with the following exceptions:

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the Directors consider that it is probable that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.

Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the period-end date.

1.17 Foreign Currencies

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group's functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at the reporting date. Exchange differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

1.18 Contributed Equity

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 for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

If the Company reacquires its own equity instruments, e.g. as the result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognise directly in equity.

1.19 Segment Reporting

Operating segments were reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the steering committee that makes strategic decisions.

1.20 New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

(a) New and amended standards adopted by the group

There are no IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial period beginning on 11 January 2012 that would be expected to have a material impact on the group.

(b) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2013, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the group, except the following set out below:

IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011). As a consequence of the new IFRS 10 and IFRS 12 (refer below), what remains in IAS 27 is limited to accounting for subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates in separate financial statements. The group has not yet evaluated the impact of this change for their forthcoming accounting period.

IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011). As a consequence of the new IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, IAS 28 has been renamed IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. This amendment will have no impact on the Group, as it does not have joint ventures. The revised standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

IFRS 13, 'Fair value measurement', aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. The requirements, which are largely aligned between IFRSs and US GAAP, do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within IFRSs or US GAAP.

IAS 19, 'Employee benefits', was amended in June 2011. The impact on the group will be as follows: to immediately recognise all past service costs; and to replace interest cost and expected return on plan assets with a net interest amount that is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability (asset). The group is yet to assess the full impact of the amendments.

IFRS 9, 'Financial instruments', addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. IFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and October 2010. It replaces the parts of IAS 39 that relate to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories: 1) those measured as at fair value and 2) those measured at amortised cost. The determination is made at initial recognition.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD 11 JANUARY 2012 TO 30 JUNE 2013; 1 JULY 2010 TO 10 JANUARY 2012

The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the IAS 39 requirements. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity's own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. The group is yet to assess IFRS 9's full impact and intends to adopt IFRS 9 no later than the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January

  1. The group will also consider the impact of the remaining phases of IFRS 9 when completed by the Board.

IFRS 10, Consolidated financial statements', builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent group. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The group is yet to assess IFRS 10's full impact and intends to adopt IFRS 10 no later than the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointlycontrolled Entities — Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method. The group is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on the financial position and performance. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

IFRS 12, 'Disclosures of interests in other entities', includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles. The group is yet to assess IFRS 12's full impact and intends to adopt IFRS 12 no later than the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2013. There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the group.

Contractual Commitments

At 30 June 2013, Rapid Nutrition PLC had not entered into any contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant or equipment.

Consolidation of subsidiaries

Following the incorporation of Rapid Nutrition PLC, Rapid Nutrition Pty Ltd was acquired through a share for share exchange. The subsidiary has been consolidated using the pooling of interest method on the basis that the entities being combined are ultimately controlled by the same parties, both before and after the combination. Under this method the assets and liabilities of the acquiree are recorded at book values and intangible assets and contingent liabilities are only recognised if they were previously recognised by the acquiree. No goodwill is recorded and expenses of the combination are immediately written off in the profit or loss.

As a new group, currently in its growth phase, the Board (the group's chief operating decision maker) believe that, at 30 June 2013, there was only one business segment, the life science and health food products market.

The revenue and results of this segment are those of the consolidated entity as a whole and are set out in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The segment assets and liabilities of this segment are those of the consolidated entity and are set out in the statement of financial position.

As mentioned in Note 2 and shown in the Statement of Changes in Equity shown on page 11, Rapid Nutrition PLC is applying the "pooling of interests" method of accounting for its business combination with Rapid Nutrition Pty Ltd. In accordance with the principles that underpin this methodology, the comparative figures for this period's financial statements are those of the subsidiary company, alone. As shown below, this has given rise to a change in share capital as the new parent entity, Rapid Nutrition PLC, came into existence at the start of the current period – 11 January 2012 – and completed a share for share exchange to acquire Rapid Nutrition Pty Ltd. This transaction eliminated the share capital of the subsidiary from the current period's consolidated figures, replacing it with that of the parent.

25. Financial risk management (continued)

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The Group's activities expose it to a number of financial risks that include market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

(a) Market Risk

i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group's main financial asset – shares held at fair value through the profit and loss – are denominated in Euros, so the risk of any adverse movement in the foreign currency exchange rates is borne by the Group.

As at 30 June 2013, if the Euro had strengthened/weakened by 5% against the Australian dollar with all other variables held constant, comprehensive income for the period and assets would have been \$158,261 higher/lower, as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on transaction of the financial asset.

ii) Interest rate risk

The Group had interest-bearing liabilities during the period, but is not exposed to interest rate risk because the interest rates on their liabilities are set by private agreement, not by reference to market rates. The group does not have any liabilities to financial institutions at 30 June 2013. As such, sensitivity analysis with regard to movements in interest rates would not be meaningful.

(b)Credit risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance of counter-parties of contract obligations that could lead to financial losses to the group.

Credit risk exposures

The Group had no significant concentrations of credit risk. For loans receivable and payable, please refer to Note 10 – Trade and Other Receivables & Note 17 - Borrowings. Loans are unsecured and have no fixed repayment date.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The group manages this risk through careful cash management policies. In order to meet its short term obligations, the group has the support of several key shareholders who are willing to provide funds to the group on an as-needed basis.

26. Share Based Payments

No share options have been granted to employees or directors. No shares were granted to suppliers as shared based payments during this or the preceding financial period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD 11 JANUARY 2012 TO 30 JUNE 2013; 1 JULY 2010 TO 10 JANUARY 2012

27. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. Due to the alteration in the group's capital structure at 11 January 2012, when Rapid Nutrition PLC was incorporated, comparative figures have not been calculated as they are not considered comparable to the current year.

The following reflects earnings and share data used in the earnings per share calculation.

Period from
11January
2012 to 30
June 2013
\$
Profit for the year 1,770,993
Weighted average number of shares 136,402,380

There were no instruments (e.g. redeemable preference shares or share options) in issue as at 30 June 2013 that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future.

28. Subsequent Events

Other than the following, the directors are not aware of any significant events since the end of the reporting period.

The Group is in the process of finalising arrangements that will secure a \$10m media spend to support the Group's new product launch in October 2013.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

FOR THE PERIOD 1 JULY 2010 TO 30 JUNE 2013

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Rapid Nutrition PLC for the three year period 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2013. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

The figures presented for the period 1 July 2010 to 10 January 2012 have been prepared specifically for the purpose of inclusion with the Company's prospectus to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. They represent the results of Rapid Nutrition Pty Ltd as a single entity, in line with the provisions for presenting comparatives for companies combined into a group under the pooling of interests method of accounting for a common control business combination.

The figures presented for the period 11 January 2012 to 30 June 2013 are those produced to meet statutory filing obligations in the UK. They have been filed with Companies House.

These financial statements have been prepared for the purpose of complying with item 20.1 of Annex I of the Prospectus Regulation.

Respective responsibilities of the directors and auditors

The directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's (APB's) Ethical Standards for Auditors.

Scope of the audit of the financial statements

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all financial and non-financial information in the Directors' Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Opinion on financial statements

In our opinion the financial statements:

  • give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 30 June 2013 & 10 January 2012, and of its performance for the three years ended 30 June 2013;
  • have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union; and
  • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Emphasis of matter – Inherent uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to the following financial information: in the period from 11 January 2012 to 30 June 2013, the Group experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of \$893,948, while it had cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totalling \$13,274. Given those noted findings, we believe that the group's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the group securing additional funding through shareholder loans, or successful realisation of revenue growth via the Group's plans to launch their new product lines in the coming year.

As a result, there is a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

  • adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
  • the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
  • certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
  • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
  • the directors were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies' exemption in preparing the directors' report.

Declaration

For the purposes of Prospectus Rule 5.5.3R(2)(f), we are responsible for this report as part of the prospectus and declare that we have taken all reasonable care to ensure that the information contained in this report is, to the best of our knowledge, in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affects its import.

Significant provisions of the Articles of Association include the following:
Provisions regarding directors and managers of the Issuer

Company.

The Directors have full authority to conduct the affairs of the Issuer in compliance with the provisions of the Articles of Association. The members of the Issuer may direct the Directors to take or refrain from taking certain action. However, such special resolution does not invalidate any action already taken by one or more Directors.

Decisions of the Directors are to be taken at a Directors meeting or in the form of a written resolution; and the Directors may delegate certain powers to other parties as they see fit, including one or more of the Directors.

The Directors may appoint local boards or management groups to manage the affairs of the Issuer, and this would include appointing the board of any wholly owned subsidiary.

Existing share rights, preferences and restrictions

Your attention is drawn to the risks outlined in Section 2.2 of this Prospectus, especially in relation to the limitation on the rights of electronic shareholders, whose shares are held by the UK Custodian.

Subject to limitations of electronic trading platforms and custodian arrangements, each shareholder of the Issuer who has fully paid Shares has the following rights as determined by the Articles of Association and the laws of England and Wales:

  • (a) Right to attend and speak at a general meetings;
  • (b) Right to vote at a meeting of members;
  • (c) Right to receive dividends.

The Issuer has only issued ordinary shares, and as such there are no preferences or restrictions that distinguish the shares in the company, except to the extent that the existing shareholders have voluntarily entered into a holding lock that prevents them from selling their Shares on market for the 12 month period after the listing of the Issuer unless authorised by the Issuer.

Conditions governing shareholder meetings

The following should be read in conjunction with each of the sections relating to CREST and Clearstream and the resultant variation of shareholder rights, including Sections 5.1.2.5 to 5.1.2.12 of this Prospectus.

Subject to some specific cases where notice periods may vary including provisions of the Act which require "special notice", the Directors may call a general or extraordinary meeting to obtain a vote of the members in the following circumstances with the requisite amount of notice:

(a) for an annual general meeting at least 21 days notice;

(b) for any other general meeting other than an adjourned meeting, the directors must give shareholders at least 14 days notice.

In the case where there are less than 2 directors, or one or more of the directors are unable or unwilling to call a meeting of members, 2 members may call such a meeting for the purpose of appointing one or more directors.

To attend and vote at a meeting of members, a shareholder must: (a) be a "Qualifying Person", who is defined as "an individual who is a Member, or a person authorised under section 323 of Companies Act 2006 to act as a representative of a Member (such Member being a corporation) in relation to a meeting, or a person appointed as proxy of a Member in relation to a meeting"; and (b) not have any amounts owing to the Issuer.

Change of control provisions – City Code on Takeovers and Mergers

In addition to the Articles and associated resolutions which determine how a change of control may happen, as a public company incorporated and registered in England and Wales and with its place of central management and control in the UK, the Issuer is currently subject to the provisions of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (Takeover Code) issued and administered by the UK panel on Takeovers and Mergers (Takeover Panel).

The Takeover Code contains certain provisions concerning mandatory takeover bids. Under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code, if any person (with its concert parties) acquires an interest in the Shares carrying 30% or more of the voting rights in a company, the acquirer and its concert parties would be required, except with the consent of the Takeover Panel, to make a cash offer for the remaining shares in the company at a price not less than the highest price paid by the acquirer or any of its concert parties during the previous 12 months. A cash offer would also be required if a person (with is concert parties) holding shares carrying between 30% and 50% of the voting rights in a company increases its percentage interest in the total voting rights in the company.

Disclosure of shareholding provisions

A member is not required to notify the Issuer of the percentage of voting rights in the Issuer held by that member unless required to do so by the rules of any stock exchange, equity market or other similar organisation on which the Issuer has any of its securities listed or under any applicable law, enactment or regulation.

15.3.2 The Issuer is not subject to any specific purposes or objects which would limit the scope of its activities or power to act.

15.4 Material Contracts

15.4.1 The Issuer has entered into two agreements with shareholders to provide working capital by
way of loans. The key provisions of those agreements is as follows:
Simon St Ledger and entities related to him have made a €500,000 loan facility
available to the Issuer, to be drawn on as required should additional working capital be
required. The facility is unsecured, would accrue interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum,
has a five year term from the date of draw down and is repayable only at such time as
the Board determines that the Issuer's cash-flow is sufficient to make such payments.
As at the date of this Prospectus that facility has not been utilised.
Working capital finance has from time to time been provided by J&J Smith, a
shareholder of the Issuer. That loan balance currently stands at A\$984,000. That
finance is unsecured, accrues interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum, has a five year
term of which four years remain and is repayable during the loan term only at such time
as the Board determines that the Issuer's cash-flow is sufficient to make such
payments. This loan is unrelated to the facility made available by Simon St Ledger and
entities related to him.
The key contracts for the Issuer are its distribution agreements and manufacturing agreements.
No individual document is sufficiently important to constitute a major or essential contract for
the Issuer, however collectively they support the commercial activities of the Issuer.
