1.1 The Offer

The Company is making a non-renounceable pro rata offer of New Shares at an issue price of 4 cents each on the basis of one New Share for every one Share held on the Record Date ( the Offer ) .

The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the Offer towards reviewing and searching for new opportunities in addition to its interest in Real Brand and Business Pty Ltd ( RBB ) and providing a loan of $125,000 to RBB and for general working capital.

As at the Record Date, the Company has on issue 36,585,750 Shares and 8,645,000 unlisted options exerciseable at 25c on or before 30 November 2008 and 220,000 unlisted options exerciseable at 10c on or before 30 June 2008.

It is noted that the Company also has an agreement with Ms Virginia Bruce whereby the Company has agreed to issue up to 14,000,000 Shares subject to the Company achieving certain performance targets. These targets have not yet been met and as such the Company and Ms Bruce have agreed to assign the agreement to RBB (on a pro rate basis).

  • (a) if all members take up their entitlements under the offer then the Rights Issue will have no effect on the control of the Company;

  • (b) if some or all members do not take up their entitlements under the offer then the Rights Issue will have an effect on control of the Company in that Arthur Phillip, a company controlled by a director of the Company, Mr Richard Poole, has agreed to act as underwriter of the Rights Issue and in the event of a shortfall, Arthur Phillips’s shareholding may increase as follows:

increase as follows:

1.7 Shortfall

If you do not wish to take up any part of your Entitlement you are not required to take any action. That part of your Entitlement not taken up will form part of the Shortfall and will revert to the Underwriter.

The offer of the Shortfall is a separate offer pursuant to this Offer Document. The issue price of any Shares offered pursuant to the Shortfall Offer shall be 4 cents, being the price at which the Entitlement has been offered to Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus. The Shortfall shall be placed at the direction of the Underwriter, and the Underwriter reserves the right to allot to an Applicant a lesser number of Shares than the number for which the Applicant applies, or to reject an application, or to not proceed with placing the Shortfall (pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement).

6

the New Shares. Applicants who sell New Shares before they receive their holding statements will do so at their own risk.

1.10 ASX listing

Application for official quotation by ASX of the New Shares offered pursuant to this Offer Document will be made within 7 days after the date of this Offer Document. If approval is not obtained from ASX before the expiration of 3 months after the date of this Offer Document (or such period as varied by the ASIC) the Company will not issue any New Shares and will repay all application monies for the New Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

The fact that ASX may grant official quotation to the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares now offered for subscription.

1.11 CHESS

The Company will apply to ASX to participate in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of New Shares allotted to them under this Offer Document. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number ( HIN ) and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

1.12 Overseas Eligible Shareholders

No Offer will be made to Eligible Shareholders resident outside Australia and New Zealand.

New Shares to which any Eligible Shareholders who are not resident in Australia or New Zealand would otherwise be entitled will form part of the Shortfall issued to the Underwriter or their nominees (or alternatively may be placed at the discretion of the Directors in the event that the Underwriting Agreement is terminated).

This Offer Document and accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form do not, nor are they intended to, constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

1.13 Taxation implications

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Shares under this Offer Document. The Company, its advisers and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Shareholders.

7

Shareholders should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with subscribing for New Shares under this Offer Document.

3. RISK FACTORS

3.1 Introduction

An investment in the Company is not risk free and prospective new investors should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Shares.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

3.2 Business Risk

As announced to the market on 13 August 2007, the Company has entered into an agreement with Ms Virginia Bruce, a director and substantial shareholder of the Company, pursuant to which Ms Bruce has agreed to purchase and the Company has agreed to sell an 80% interest in its wholly owned subsidiary Real Brand and Business Pty Ltd ( Privatisation ). The Privatisation is subject to shareholders approving various resolutions relating to it at the Company’s upcoming general meeting of Shareholders.

As a result of the Privatisation, the Company will only retain a 20% interest in the operating business and will need to find a suitable business to acquire. There is no guarantee that the Company will find such a business. Furthermore, if such a business is found, it is likely that ASX will require the Company to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules. In such a case, it is likely that the Company will issue additional Shares, resulting in existing Shareholders being diluted.

3.3 Economic Risks

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

Further, 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) general economic outlook;

  • (b) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (c) currency fluctuations;

  • (d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • (e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • (f) terrorism or other hostilities.

3.4 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

10

Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the capital raising. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, 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. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

3.5 Reliance on Key Management

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment.

3.6 Share Market Risks

Potential investors should recognise that the prices of Shares fall as well as rise, and the price of the Company's Shares may trade below the issue price.

3.7 Investment Risks Generally

Risks of a general nature relating to investment in Shares generally and especially in the cases of an investment in companies with small market capitalisation.

3.8 Fiscal Risks

Company and industry profitability can be affected by changes in tax policies, the imposition of new taxes, and changes in interpretation and application of policy.

3.9 Foreign Currency Risk

Much of the Company's revenues will be in United States Dollars. As an Australian reporting entity the Company will account and report in Australian dollars. The fact that a company has significant revenue and costs in a currency other that its functional currency can create gains or losses arising from foreign currency translations.

3.10 Changes in Economic Conditions

The Company's business may be affected by changes in general economic conditions, including changes in interest rates.

3.11 Specific Risks

Investors should be aware that an investment in the Company involves risks specifically related to the nature of the business of the Company.

The Shares to be allotted under this prospectus carry no guarantee in respect of future profitability, dividends, return of capital, or the price at which they might trade on ASX,

In addition to the specific risk set out in clause 3.2, specific risks identified by the

11

directors are:

(a) Reliance on Key Personnel

The Company relies heavily on certain key personnel. Loss of key personnel would have an adverse impact on the Company's performance.

(b) Contract Risks Generally

The Company operates through a series of key contractual relationships with brand partners and service providers. All contracts carry risks associated with the performance by the parties to those contracts of their obligations both as to timeliness and quality of work performed.

(c) Specific Contract Risks

The business of the Company is dependant on contractual and working relationships with brand partners. Most agreements with brand partners contain veto rights over concepts and product design. At a more general level, success will often depend upon good working relationships being developed between key personnel of Real Brand and brand partners.

(d) Management of Growth

The Company has limited management resources. Failure to manage growth effectively could have adverse consequences on the Company's performance if it is unable to identify appropriate management resources in a timely manner.

(e) Sufficiency of Funding

The Company will have limited financial resources and may need to raise additional funds from time to time to finance growth. Any such fundraising will be subject to factors beyond the directors' control, including financial and equity market conditions at the time.

(f) Risks as to Profitability

The ability of the Company to pay dividends will depend on it generating revenue and then deriving sufficient after-tax profits to be elite to do so. The Company is not presently profitable and may not at any time be so.

(g) No Valuation

No formal or informal valuation has been undertaken of the intellectual property or assets of Real Brands. The Company makes no representation as to the value of these assets. Investors should make their own evaluation of these matters having regard to the matters contained in this Offer Document.

(h) Generally

The possibility exists, that for a wide range of reasons, the Company's present strategies, plans, policies, intentions and expectations may

12

not be able to be implemented.

3.12 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 securities 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 the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
