$\mathfrak{D}$ LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Dear Investor,

The Company's business involves the export of premium lobster to expanding international markets.

The Company was admitted to the official list of ASX in November 2002.

On 1 November 2004, and due to lack of liquidity and lack of support between various Shareholder factions, the then directors of Cervantes duly appointed Gary Anderson of Gary Anderson Chartered Accountants as administrator of the Company pursuant to Section 436C of the Corporations Act (Administrator). On 25 January 2005, the administration of the Company came to an end and the Company proceeded to wind up. Gary Anderson was duly appointed as Liquidator of the Company pursuant to Section 439C(1) of the Corporations Act pursuant to a resolution of a meeting of creditors of the Company to that effect held on that day (Liquidator).

The Company's securities were suspended from trading on ASX on 1 November 2004 and have not traded since.

In late 2006, Investment Promotions Pty Ltd (the Financier) approached the Company and the Liquidator with a proposal to provide financial assistance to the Company and seek the reinstatement of the Shares on ASX and termination of the Company's winding up (Proposal). ASX advised the Company that to achieve the reinstatement of the Shares on ASX, the Company needed to satisfy a number of conditions including having a minimum of $1,000,000 after debts and liabilities.

The Company has obtained Shareholder approval at the General Meeting for the capital raisings the subject of this Prospectus and has obtained a stay of the winding up of the Company from the Supreme Court of Western Australia until 9 May 2007 to enable the Company to complete the capital raisings. If the Share Offer is fully subscribed, the Company will immediately apply to the Supreme Court of Western Australia for a permanent termination of the liquidation of the Company and the Liquidator. The Directors believe that the granting of a permanent termination of the liquidation of the Company and the Liquidator is a formality once the Share Offer is fully subscribed, however, such decision will be at the sole discretion of the Court.

As part of the recapitalisation and as approved by Shareholders on 13 March 2007, the Company makes the Offers pursuant to this Prospectus.

The Company has no creditors (other than the Liquidator and legal fees associated with this Prospectus), 8 cray pots which are leased out earning income and a seafood processing licence which can be activated when funds are available.

Upon completion of the Offers contained in this Prospectus and termination of the Liquidator, the Company will seek the reinstatement to trading of its Shares on ASX.

Yours sincerely

Mr Barry MacKinnon DIRECTOR

5. COMPANY

$5.1$ History

Cervantes was incorporated to export premium lobster to expanding international markets.

Cervantes Seafood was admitted to the Official List of ASX in November 2002 following a prospectus capital raising.

The lobster season runs from mid-November to May/June each year. The 2002/03 lobster season in Western Australia was a difficult one for the Company, with adverse factors such as high beach prices, generally depressed Asian markets due to occurrences such as the SARS epidemic and alobal uncertainty emanating from unrest in the Middle East, and the strengthening of the Australian dollar during the year, as well as a fire which interrupted the Company's business during the busiest period of the season.

During the 2003 off-season, the Company acquired the assets and business of INF Pty Ltd, a Western Australian lobster trading business that had been in operation for more than 28 years. The merger of the INF business increased the Company's catch-base for the 2003/04 lobster season, and brought about sianificant changes to the operation structure of the Company.

On 1 November 2004, and due to lack of liquidity and lack of support between various Shareholder factions, the then directors of the Company duly appointed the Administrator as administrator of the Company pursuant to Section 436C of the Corporations Act and the Shares were suspended from trading on ASX from that date. On 25 January 2005, the administration of the Company came to an end and the Company proceeded to wind up. The Liquidator was duly appointed as liquidator of the Company pursuant to Section 439C(1) of the Corporations Act and a resolution of a meeting of creditors of the Company to that effect held on that day.

$5.2$ Recapitalisation

In late 2006, the Financier approached the Company and the Liquidator with a proposal to provide financial assistance to the Company and seek the reinstatement of the Shares on ASX and termination of the Company's winding up. Discussions between the Directors and representatives of the Financier with ASX were positive and ASX indicated that a minimum of $1,000,000 after debts and liabilities would be needed by the Company before ASX would consider the release of suspension of the Shares on ASX.

The Proposal from the Financier to the Company and the Liquidator can be summarised as follows:

  • the Company will have no creditors other than the Liquidator, 8 cray $\alpha$ pots which are leased out earning income and a seafood processing licence which can be activated when funds are available and the Liauidator removed:

  • $(b)$ the Company be authorised to allot and issue 30,000,000 Shares to the Financier (or its nominees) at an issue price of 0.5 cents each and 30,000,000 free attaching Options exercisable at 1.5 cents on or before 31 December 2008 to raise $150,000 (being, the Placement Offer);

  • $\left( \circ \right)$ the Company be authorised to allot and issue by way of a general placement up to 135,000,000 Shares at an issue price of 1 cent each to raise up to $1,350,000 (being, the Share Offer);

  • $(d)$ the existing Directors be nominated as Directors of the Company; and

  • $(\Theta)$ the Company adopt a new Constitution.

Before the Company can seek the reinstatement of the Shares to Official Quotation, the Company needs to undergo a recapitalisation, which will be achieved upon completion of the Offers pursuant to this Prospectus.

Shareholder approval was obtained at the General Meetina for the Company to issue the securities pursuant to the Placement Offer and the Share Offer and the reappointment of existing Directors as Directors of the Company. All reappointments were passed other than Mr Chen Hao who was not reappointed as a Director. On 3 April 2007, the Liquidator applied to the Court for a stay of the liquidation of the Company to enable the Company to make the Offers the subject of this Prospectus. The Court aranted a temporary stay until 9 May 2007, If the Share Offer is completed by 9 May 2007, the Liquidator and the Company will apply to the Court for a permanent stay of the liquidation of the Company and termination of the Liquidator.

$5.3$ The Business

The Company currently has no creditors (other than the Liquidator and legal fees associated with this Prospectus), 8 cray pots which are leased out earning income and a seafood processing licence which can be activated when funds are available.

5.4 Other Opportunities

Subject to completion of the Share Offer, the Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its operations going forward and will also have sufficient funds to look at complementary acquisitions or new acquisitions in other areas.

At this stage, the Directors have not identified nor given any consideration to any other business sector or complementary opportunities but reserve the right to direct any capital raised under this Prospectus to pursue that objective and strateav.

The future funding requirements of the Company will therefore be dependent on its success in exploiting its existing assets and also the costs of acquiring any additional projects or business opportunities for investment as and when identified and investors must take this risk into account when determining whether to invest pursuant to this Prospectus.

5.5 Corporate Governance

The Board is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Company, and it recognises the need for the highest standards of behaviour and accountability. The Board will develop strategies for the Company, review strategic objectives, and monitor the performance against those objectives. The overall apals of the corporate apvernance process are to:

drive Shareholder value: $(a)$

  • $(b)$ assure a prudential and ethical base to the Company's conduct and activities: and
  • ensure compliance with the Company's legal and regulatory $\left( \circ \right)$ obligations.

Consistent with these goals, the Board assumes the following primary responsibilities:

  • $(a)$ formulation and approval of the strategic direction, objectives and goals of the Company;
  • $(b)$ monitoring the financial performance of the Company, including approval of the Company's financial statements;
  • ensuring that adequate internal control systems and procedures exist $\left( \circ \right)$ and that compliance with these systems and procedures is maintained;
  • $(d)$ the identification of significant business risks and ensuring that such risks are adequately managed;
  • $(e)$ the review of performance and remuneration of executive Directors: and
  • $(f)$ the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.

In addition, there are a number of risks specific to the Company and the industry to which it operates.

A summary of the main risk factors relevant to the Company are set out below. The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

8.2 Uncertainty of Future Profitability

The Company has been in liquidation and it is therefore not possible to evaluate the future prospects of the Company based on past performance.

The Company's ability to operate profitability in the future will depend on its ability to manage its costs, to execute its development and growth strategies, economic conditions in the markets the Company operates, competitive factors and reaulatory developments. Accordinaly, the extent of future profits, if any, and the time required to achieve a sustained profitability is uncertain. Moreover, the levels of such profitability cannot be predicted.

$8.3$ Conditional Offers

Allotment of Securities pursuant to this Prospectus is subject to a permanent stay of the liquidation of the Company and termination of the Liquidator being granted. The Directors believe that if the Share Offer is fully subscribed, a permanent stay of the liquidation will be granted but there is no quarantee that this will in fact occur as such a decision will be at the discretion of the Supreme Court of Western Australia. If the Liquidator is not terminated, no Securities pursuant to this Prospectus will be issued.

$8.4$ Listing of Shares on ASX

As outlined elsewhere in this Prospectus, the Shares are currently suspended. If the Offers are fully subscribed and the Liquidator is terminated, the Company will seek to have its Shares released from suspension. ASX has an ultimate discretion on the lifting of the suspension. However, ASX has provided notice to the Company that upon the Company satisfying certain conditions including, but not limited to, completion of the Offers, ASX would intend to reinstate the Shares to Official Quotation.

8.5 Potential Acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, other companies, products or technologies (refer to section 3.3), although no such acquisitions or investments have been identified.

Even in the event that future acauisition targets are identified by the Company. there are no assurances of completing these transactions and the due diligence costs and related costs could have a material affect on the profitability of the Company.

Further, future acquisitions may be outside the scope of the Company's current business model and accordingly the Company may face the additional business risk of intearatina disparate operations. Any acquisition will require financina which may create additional risks to the expansion of the Company's business if the allocation of the Company's limited cash resources is required to be varied.

8.6 Economic Risks

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's operational activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

8.7 Additional Requirements for Capital

The Company's capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company's ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised in the Offers. Any additional eauity financina will dilute shareholdinas, and debt financina, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and reduce its expansion programs as the case may be.

$8.8$ Reliance on Key Personnel and Need to Attract Qualified Staff

The Company is dependent on its management, the loss of whose services could materially and adversely affect the Company and impede the achievements of its business objectives.

The Company's ability to sell its products and services will depend in part upon its ability to attract and retain suitably qualified management and technical personnel over time.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract or retain sufficiently qualified personnel on a timely basis or retain its key management personnel.

8.9 Industry Risks

There are significant restrictions on commercial fisheries activities designed to protect the environment and preserve sustainability of the natural resource. The Company operates in a highly regulated environment. In order for an entity to process and market lobster for export it is necessary to have a processing licence issued by the Fisheries Department of Western Australia. The currency of this licence is dependent on the holder observing the terms of the licence and the policies and auidelines of the Fisheries Department of Western Australia. Non-compliance with these terms, policies and guidelines by the holder could affect its processing licence and in turn, adversely affect its operations and profitability.

In addition, the Company may not be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors where aggressive pricing policies are employed to capture market share. Such competition could result in price reductions,

reduced aross margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially adversely affect the Company's future business, operating results and financial position.

8.10 Supply of Lobster

The supply of lobster to Cervantes is subject to a number of factors, such as seasonal catch volatility, pricina and other commercial determinations with fishermen which may adversely affect its supply to Cervantes.

8.11 Currency Risk

Adverse movements in currency exchange rates have the potential to reduce the Company's earnings. Securities in the Company are denominated in Australian dollars while the Company's revenue may be denominated in other currencies as the Company will be selling products internationally through existing wholesale relationships. Accordingly, the Company's earnings may be subject to fluctuations between the exchange rate of the Australian dollar and the relevant foreian currency. Such fluctuations may have an adverse effect on the value of the Company's securities.

Credit Risk 8.12

As part of the business of the Company, the Company will be supplying products to customers on an invoice payment basis. There is a risk that customers will not pay their invoice within the payment terms or at all and this will have an adverse effect on the profitability of the Company.

8.13 Shipping Risk

The Company's business will involve the transportation (via ship or air) of products to overseas destinations. There is a risk that the products will be damaged in transit. The Company will try to mitigate this risk by taking out adequate insurance cover, but there is no assurance that such insurance will cover all contingencies and eventualities.

$8.14$ New Services

The Company may, from time to time, introduce new and expanded services in order to generate additional revenues, attract more customers and respond to competition. There can be no guarantee that these new businesses will eventuate or be successful.

8.15 Share Market

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's quoted securities regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • $(a)$ aeneral economic outlook;
  • $(b)$ interest rates and inflation rates:
  • $\left( \circ \right)$ currency fluctuations;
  • changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; $(d)$
  • $\Theta$ the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

$(f)$ terrorism or other hostilities.

8.16 Investment Speculative

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the Shares carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or market value.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities.

As outlined elsewhere in this Prospectus, the Company owns 8 cray pots which are leased out earning income and a seafood processing licence. Other than the cray pots and the seafood processing licence, the Directors do not consider that the Company is a party to any contracts which are material to the Company.
