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 10.00 am (WST) on Thursday 18 November 2010 at The Park Centre, 45 Ventnor Avenue, West Perth, Western Australia.

The 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 2010 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 www.hannansreward.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 2010.

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

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – JONATHAN MURRAY

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 Jonathan Murray will retire in accordance with clause 13.4 of the Constitution and being eligible seeks re-election.

5

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – WILLIAM HICKS

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 4 Directors and, as Mr Jonathan Murray is retiring and seeking re-election pursuant to Resolution 2, an additional Director must retire.

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

Mr William Hicks retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION

Clause 13.7 of the Constitution requires that the maximum aggregate remuneration that may be paid to non-executive directors of the Company be set by the Company in a general meeting.

The maximum aggregate remuneration that may be paid to Non-Executive Directors of the Company has not previously been set. Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to set the maximum aggregate remuneration that may be paid to Non-Executive Directors at $250,000 per annum. This aggregate amount has been determined after reviewing similar companies listed on ASX and the Directors believe that this level of remuneration is in line with corporate remuneration of similar companies.

The Company currently has 3 Non-Executive Directors, being Messrs Jonathan Murray (subject to being re-elected pursuant to Resolution 2), William Hicks (subject to being re-elected pursuant to Resolution 3) and Richard Scallan. For each of the past 2 years, the Non-Executive Directors of the Company have received total annual remuneration as follows:

Director Remuneration 2010 Remuneration 2009
Mr Jonathan Murray $13,500 N/A
Mr William Hicks $32,400 $32,400
Mr Richard Scallan $35,200 $35,316

6. RESOLUTION 5 – EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION PLAN

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

An exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9) which provides that issues under an employee incentive plan are exempt for a

6

period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the plan as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the Employee Share Option Plan ( ESOP ) in accordance with Exception 9 of ASX Listing Rule 7.2.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Plan Options under the ESOP without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.

Shareholders should note that no Plan Options have previously been issued under this ESOP and the objective of the ESOP is to attract, motivate and retain key employees.

It is considered by the Directors that the adoption of the ESOP and the future grant of Plan Options under the ESOP will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

A summary of the terms and conditions of the ESOP is set out in Schedule 1.

7. RESOLUTION 6 – APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

Due to a restructure of Stantons International, Stantons International Pty Ltd, who are the Company’s current auditors, has given notice of their intention to resign as auditor of the Company (under section 329(5) of the Corporations Act) subject to receipt of the consent of the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) and Shareholder approval of this Resolution 6 for the appointment of Stantons International Audit and Consulting Pty Ltd as auditor.

Subject to the ASIC consenting to the resignation of Stantons International Pty Ltd, and Stantons International Pty Ltd submitting a resignation to the Company, it is proposed that the Company appoint Stantons International Audit and Consulting Pty Ltd as auditor of the Company.

In accordance with section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act, the Company has sought and obtained a nomination from a shareholder for Stantons International Audit and Consulting Pty Ltd to be appointed as the Company’s auditor. A copy of this nomination is attached to this Explanatory Statement as Annexure A.

Stantons International Audit and Consulting Pty Ltd has given its written consent to act as the Company’s auditor subject to Shareholder approval of this Resolution 6.

SCHEDULE 1 – SUMMARY OF EMPLOY EE SHARE OPTION PLAN TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The Company has established the Employee Share Option Plan ( ESOP ) in order to provide an incentive for employees to participate in the future growth of the Company. The ESOP will be administered in accordance with the ESOP rules, which are summarised below.

Options Issue

The Board may, in its absolute discretion, offer Options to eligible participants under the ESOP. The Options will be issued for no consideration and each Option will carry the right in favour of the Optionholder to subscribe for one Share in the capital of the Company.

An eligible participant is a full or part time employee or a Director of a company within the Hannans Reward Limited group of companies. The Company must obtain Shareholder approval before the participation under the ESOP of an eligible participant who is a Director of, or otherwise a related party of the Company.

The Board may impose performance criteria such as vesting hurdles.

The Options issued under the ESOP are not transferable.

Restrictions

The Options may only be issued or exercised within the limitations imposed by the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

Further, the total number of Shares that would be issued under the ESOP where each Option issued pursuant to the ESOP is exercised, and the number of Shares issued by the Company pursuant to an employee share or option scheme implemented by the Company during the previous 5 years may not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue as at the date any Options are offered pursuant to the ESOP.

Exercise Price and Expiry Date

The exercise price of the Options to be issued under the ESOP will be determined by the Board, but to the extent that the Listing Rules specified or require a minimum price, the Option exercise price in respect of an offer made following first quotation must not be less than any minimum price specified in the Listing Rules. The expiry date will be determined by the Board.

Exercise of Options

If performance criteria are imposed on an Optionholder, that Optionholder may only exercise their Options upon satisfaction of the performance criteria and prior to the expiry date. Notwithstanding this, all Options may be exercised during a takeover period or, in the Board's discretion, upon the death or permanent disablement of an eligible participant.

Notice of Exercise

Options may only be exercised by the Optionholder delivering an option exercise notice to the Company specifying the number of Options being exercised and accompanied by the exercise price for the Options specified in the option exercise notice and the certificates for those Options.

9

Bonus Issue

If, prior to the expiry of any Options, the Company makes a bonus share issue to the holders of Shares on a pro rata basis, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the Optionholder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the date the Shares the subject of the bonus issue had been duly allotted and issued.

Restructure of Capital

In the event that prior to the expiry of any Options, there is a reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction, return or pro-rata cancellation) of the issued capital of the Company, then the number of Options to which each Optionholder is entitled or the exercise price or both will be reconstructed in the manner required by the ASX Listing Rules.

Pro-Rata Issues

In the event the Company makes a pro-rata issue of securities, the exercise price of the Options will be adjusted in accordance with the formula set out in ASX Listing Rule 6.22.2.

Administration of the ESOP

The Board will supervise the administration of the ESOP and has discretion to amend the rules.
