This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Company’s General Meeting.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the resolution in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting.

This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of General Meeting. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary.

1. Background

The Company executed a mandate to raise on a best endeavours basis approximately $1,530,000 (before costs of issue), by the issue of up to approximately 20,364,000 Shares at an average price of $0.075 per Share by way of a two tranche placement to Sophisticated and Professional Investors (“Placement”). DJ Carmichael Pty Limited (“DJC”) was appointed as sole Lead Manager to the Placement.

On 3 August 2012 the Company announced the prospective figures that would be raised under the Placement on a best endeavors basis. These figures were subsequently revised in the Company’s announcement dated 13 August 2012.

Under the terms of the mandate, the Placement sought to raise up to approximately $1,530,000 (before costs of issue) by the issue of:

• up to approximately 10,182,011 Shares at $0.115 per Share to Sophisticated or Professional Investors in accordance with the Shareholder approval obtained at the Company’s General Meeting held on 15 June 2012 (see Resolution 2 of the Previous Notice of Meeting dated 8 May 2012) (“Tranche 2”); and

• up to approximately 10,182,011 Shares at $0.035 per Share to investors who invested in Shares under Tranche 2 using the Company’s 15% capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (“Further Placement”). The issue of the Further Placement Shares is the subject of Resolution 1.

Investors who acquire Shares under Tranche 2 will be entitled to acquire Shares under the Further Placement on a 1:1 basis until a maximum of 10,182,011 Shares from each tranche have been issued. As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, 8,131,658 Shares have been issued under the Further Placement.

Under the Placement there is provision to accept oversubscriptions of up to a further 15,040,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.075 per Share to raise an additional $1,130,000 approximately, to be issued on a deferred settlement basis to Sophisticated or Professional Investors. The issue of any oversubscription Shares will be conditional upon the Company being able to use its 15% capacity for the issue in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

DJC will act as sole Lead Manager to the Placement. DJC’s tasks and responsibilities will be to provide the Company with assistance in arranging the Placement as is customary and appropriate in transaction of this nature.

2

DJC will be remunerated for their services under the Mandate by way of a placement fee of 6% of the total gross amount placed by DJC in the Placement (plus GST). All standard selling fees will be paid by DJC from the placement fees.

The Mandate otherwise contains further provisions, including warranties, indemnities and termination clauses, which are considered customary and appropriate in a transaction of this nature.

2. Resolution 1 – Ratification of Previous Issue of Shares

Shareholder approval is sought to ratify the 8,131,658 Shares previously issued by the Company pursuant to the Mandate and referred to in Resolution 1.

The Company allotted and issued such Shares on 10 August 2012 to Sophisticated and/or Professional Investors.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that (subject to certain exceptions, none of which are relevant here) prior approval of shareholders is required for an issue of securities by a company if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of the shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company ratifies a prior issue of securities, the issue will be treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, thereby replenishing the company’s 15% capacity and enabling it to issue further securities up to that limit.

Resolution 1 proposes the ratification and approval of the allotment and issue of 8,131,658 Shares to Sophisticated Investors and Professional Investors for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

The information required to be provided to shareholders to satisfy ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is specified in ASX Listing Rule 7.5. In compliance with the information requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, members are advised of the following particulars in relation to the ratification of the allotment and issue under Resolution 1:

(a) The number of securities allotted

A total of 8,131,658 Shares have been issued.

(b) The price of the securities

The Shares were issued at $0.035 per Share.

(c) The terms of the securities

The Shares were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

(d) The name of the allottees or the basis on which the allottees were determined

The Shares, the subject of Resolution 1, were issued pursuant to the Mandate to the clients of DJC (in its capacity as lead manager of the Placement) who participated in the Tranche 2 placement of Shares on a 1:1 basis. Such

3

persons and/or entities were Sophisticated Investors and/or Professional Investors for the purposes of section 708(8) and 708(11) of the Corporations Act.

None of the Shares were issued to Directors or Related Parties of the Company.

(e) Intended use of the funds raised
