A proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion, except where the proxy is required by law or the Constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in their capacity as proxy.
If a proxy is directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote on that item only in accordance with that direction.

The financial report for consideration at the meeting will be the full financial report. Unless a Shareholder instructs otherwise, each Shareholder is sent or provided access to the financial report. Any Shareholder wishing to receive a copy of the full financial report should contact the Company and a copy will be forwarded without delay.
Also, a reasonable opportunity will be given to members as a whole at the meeting to ask the Company's auditor questions relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the auditor's report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

Rule 8.1(d) of the Constitution requires that at every AGM, one third of Directors (after excluding a Director who is the managing Director or any Director appointed by the Board since the date of the last annual general meeting), or if this number of Directors is 5 or less, then 2 of the remaining Directors, must retire from office and if eligible seek re-election in accordance with Rule 8.1(i) of the Constitution.

The Directors (excluding Mr Olivero) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Election of Directors
Rule 8.1(c) of the Constitution requires that any Director appointed by the Board, (since the last annual general meeting), who is not the Managing Director, holds office only until the conclusion of the next AGM following his or her appointment. Accordingly, any such Director must automatically retire from office at the next annual general meeting, and being eligible may seek election in accordance with Rule 8.1(i) of the Constitution.
Resolution 2 (a) - Election of Mr Anthony Alexander Ailakis
Anthony Alexander Ailakis was appointed as an executive Director since the date of the last annual general meeting of the Company. Under the Constitution he holds office only until this Meeting and therefore offers himself for election.
The experience, qualifications and other information about Mr Ailakis appears below:

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Resolution 4 – Ratification of Previous Issue and Allotment of Shares
As announced on 16 August 2007, the Company issued and allotted 2,602,862 Shares to existing Shareholders and the external investors in the Company who applied pursuant to a Short Form Prospectus dated 13 July 2007.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification of the prior issue and allotment of these 2,602,862 Shares for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing, or agreeing to issue, equity securities (which include shares) that exceed 15% of the total number of ordinary securities on issue in any 12 month period, unless approval is obtained from the holders of the Company's ordinary securities.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that the approval of holders of the Company's ordinary shares may be obtained after the issue of equity securities. The effect of such ratification is to restore the Company's discretionary power to issue further Shares up to 15% of the number of ordinary Shares on issue at the beginning of the relevant 12 month period without obtaining Shareholder approval.
The approval of this resolution will enable the Company at any time during the next 12 months to issue equity securities up to the 15% threshold set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1:
- (a) without the requirement to obtain approval from the holders of the Company's ordinary securities; and
- (b) without the Shares described below counting towards the 15% threshold set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5 the following information is provided to shareholders in relation to the issue of shares in the Company:
(a) Number of Shares issued
2,602,862 Shares
(b) Price at which Shares were allotted and issued.
$1.20 per Share
(c) Terms of the Shares
The Shares rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares on issue.
(d) Names of allottees or the basis on which allottees were determined.
Shares were allotted pursuant to all applications received from existing Shareholders and the general public under and in accordance with the terms of the Short Form Prospectus dated 13 July 2007.
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
(e) Use (or intended use) of the funds raised
The funds will be used for:
