EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 9:30 am (WST) on Friday 30 November 2007 at Western Australian Club Inc., 101 St Georges Terrace, Perth, Western Australia.

Please note that dress requirements of the Western Australian Club require visitors to dress smartly and avoid wearing denim.

This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2007 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors' report, the remuneration report and the auditor's report.

In accordance with amendments to the Corporations Act the Company is no longer required to provide a hard copy of the Company's annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy. These amendments may result in reducing the Company's printing costs.

Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company's annual financial report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company annual financial report on its website at http://cervantesseafoodlimited.com.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company's annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The remuneration report sets out the Company's remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The remuneration report is part of the Directors' report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2007.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR COLLIN VOST

3.1 General

Clause 13.4 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.

Mr Vost was appointed as a Director on 29 October 2007.

Mr Collin Vost will retire in accordance with clause 13.4 of the Constitution and being eligible seeks re-election.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR ROBERT GROVER

4.1 General

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that if the Company has three or more Directors, one third (or the number nearest one-third) of those Directors must retire at each annual general meeting, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Company currently has 3 Directors and accordingly 1 must retire.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

Mr Robert Grover retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to change its name to "Cervantes Corporation Limited". The Directors believe that this name change is necessary to provide a break from the past activities of the Company and at the same time, provide a new image as the Company moves into the future.

Section 157 of the Corporations Act requires the Shareholders to pass a special Resolution to change the Company's name.

6. ENQUIRIES

Shareholders are required to contact Robert Grover on 0417 981 437 if they have any queries in respect of the matters set out in these documents.

Instructions for Completing 'Appointment of Proxy' Form

    1. A member entitled to attend and vote at an Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on a poll on their behalf. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member's voting rights. If a member appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company.
    1. Where a member's holding is in one name the holder must sign. Where the holding is in more than one name, all members should sign.
    1. Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under a power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this Proxy Form.
    1. Corporate members should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:
    • 2 directors of the company;
    • a director and a company secretary of the company; or
    • for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

    1. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the Annual General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Annual General Meeting in person, then the proxy's authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the Annual General Meeting.
    1. To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
    • a) post or deliver to Cervantes Seafood Limited;

c/- Gary Anderson Chartered Accountant Ground Floor, 12 Prowse Street WEST PERTH WA 6005
