Applications for Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus can only be made by an original Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Shortfall Application Form.
This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus and is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
Representations contained in this Prospectus are made taking into account that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters are publicly available information or may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom prospective investors may consult.
No Investment Advice
The information contained in this Prospectus is not financial product advice or investment advice and does not take into account your financial or investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs (including financial or taxation issues). You should seek professional advice from your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding to subscribe for Securities under this Prospectus to determine whether it meets your objectives, financial situation and needs.
Forward - looking statements
This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements which are identified by words such as ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’, or ‘intends’ and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties.
These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.
Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important
factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, the Directors and the Company’s management.
The Company cannot and does not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The Company has no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this Prospectus, except where required by law.
These forward-looking statements are subject to various risk factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements. These risk factors are set out in Section 5.
Overseas shareholders
This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Securities will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.
For further information on overseas Shareholders please refer to Section 2.9.
Continuous disclosure obligations
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Securities.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the three months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

Financial forecasts

Electronic sub-registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Securities issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

1.3 Key Risk Factors
Prospective investors should be aware that subscribing for Securities involves a number of risks and an investment in the Company should be considered as highly speculative. The future performance of the Company and the value of the Securities may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The key risks associated with the Company’s business, the industry in which it operates and general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities and financial markets generally are set out in Section 5.
The predominant risks relating to the Company and the Offer are summarised below:
| RISK | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Potential for dilution | Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 16.67% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus). No immediate dilution will occur as a result of the issue of New Options under this Prospectus, however subsequent exercise of any or all of the New Options will result in dilution. Assuming all New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus are issued and exercised into Shares, Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer, are likely to be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 28.57% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company, a Share or an Option will be following the completion of the Offer being implemented and the Directors do not make any representation as to such matters. |
| SE FormulaTM – Plant Based Anti-Microbial Technology |
The SE FormulaTMis a high performance proprietary all-natural plant based technology used in the Company’s proprietary award winning brands including Invisi-Shield SuprCuvr plant- based hospital grade disinfectant range, Eco Nuture horticultural based plant bio stimulant, Soléo Organics natural sunscreen brand, PapayaActivs therapeutic skincare range and Elizabeth Jane Natural Cosmetics. The SE FormulaTMis the result of more than 19 years research and development by the Skin Elements team in the area of plant- based bio technology. Since launching, the Company has achieved over $8 million in global test marketing sales of its SE FormulaTMproducts historically through its national and international network of distributors and online sales. The Company’s business structure utilises third party manufacturing, logistics, distribution and sales organisations to undertake activities for the commercialisation of its SE FormulaTM products. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to achieve any significant sales revenue in regard to its SE FormulaTMproduct range. |
| Regulatory Requirements and Government legislation and policy changes |
The Company’s products are classified as “therapeutic goods” in Australia to ensure quality, safety and efficacy and have strict controls for independent testing of therapeutic claims and use of GMP manufacturing. Similar regulations framework exists in most countries such as USA (Food and Drug Administration – FDA). The Company has obtained Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approval and registration for its Invisi Shield SuprCuvr COVID 19 disinfectant (AUST-L 373328), Soléo Organics natural |

| and organic sunscreen (AUST-L 348716, 322958, 322956, 322469, 322468, 310340, & 116246), and PapayaActivs natural therapeutics skincare (AUST-L 350987, 350986, 350476, 350475, & 345957) and international registrations including Federal Drug Administration (USA FDA), European Union, and Ministry of Health Japan and Canada. Changes in relevant laws, regulations and government policies regarding the regulation of sunscreens or skincare products could adversely affect the Company’s proposed operations, increase costs, or affect the financial performance or any future revenue of the Company. |
|
| 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 under the Offer. 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 and scale back its operations as the case may be. 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. |

1.6 Effect on Control
Sovereign Empire Pty Ltd and Josaxa Pty Ltd (the Malone Entities ) are presently the Company’s largest Shareholder. The Malone Entities are associated entities and together, are a related party of the Company for the purposes of the Corporations Act by virtue of Mr Peter Malone (who is the sole director and shareholder of both Malone Entities), being a Director of the Company. The issue of Securities under this Prospectus to the Malone Entities may increase their interest in the Company and dilute the Shareholding of other Shareholders to the extent they elect not to participate in the Offer or are ineligible to participate in the Offer.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Malone Entities have a voting power of 16.16% (138,363,116 Shares). The Malone Entities have confirmed they intend to intend to take up their full Entitlements.
The Malone Entities’ potential relevant interest and maximum voting power in the Company under several scenarios are set out in the table below.
| EVENT | MAXIMUM SHARES TO BE ISSUED TO THE MALONE ENTITIES’ |
TOTAL SHARES HELD BY THE MALONE ENTITIES FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF THE OFFER |
UNDILUTED VOTING POWER OF THE MALONE ENTITIES |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prospectus Date | - | 138,363,116 | 16.16% |
| If only Malone Entities took up Entitlements |
27,672,623 | 166,035,739 | 18.79% |
| Full Subscription | 27,672,623 | 166,035,739 | 16.16% |
As set out in the table above, even if only the Malone Entities took up their full Entitlements in the Offer, the Malone Entities’ interest would not increase above 20%.
1.7 Potential dilution on non-participating Shareholders
In addition to potential control impacts set out in Section 1.6, Shareholders should note that, assuming Full Subscription, if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 16.67% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus).
No immediate dilution will occur as a result of the issue of New Options under this Prospectus. However subsequent exercise of any or all of the New Options will result in dilution. Assuming all New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus are issued and exercised into Shares, Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer, are likely to be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 28.57% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus).

For illustrative purposes, the table below shows how the dilution may impact the holdings of Shareholders:
| HOLDER | HOLDING AS AT RECORD DATE |
% AT RECORD DATE |
ENTITLEMENTS UNDER THE OFFER |
HOLDINGS IF OFFER NOT TAKEN UP |
% POST OFFER |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shareholder 1 | 10,000,000 | 1.17% | 2,000,000 | 10,000,000 | 0.97% |
| Shareholder 2 | 5,000,000 | 0.58% | 1,000,000 | 5,000,000 | 0.49% |
| Shareholder 3 | 1,500,000 | 0.18% | 300,000 | 1,500,000 | 0.15% |
| Shareholder 4 | 400,000 | 0.05% | 80,000 | 400,000 | 0.04% |
| Shareholder 5 | 50,000 | 0.01% | 10,000 | 50,000 | 0.005% |
Notes:
-
This is based on a share capital of 856,152,760 Shares as at the date of the Prospectus and assumes no Options currently on issue or other Shares are issued including New Options or Performance Rights are exercised.
-
The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted by Eligible Shareholders are placed under the Shortfall Offer. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall was not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.

(iii) if you pay more than is required to subscribe for your Entitlement, you will be taken to have applied for Shortfall Securities (if any) under the Shortfall Offer, to the extent of the excess.
You should be aware that your own financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is your responsibility to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY® are received by 5:00PM (WST) on the Closing Date. The Company shall not be responsible for any delay in the receipt of the BPAY® payment.
Guidance where you have more than one CRN (Shareholding of Shares)
If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your
7
Entitlement in respect of one of those Shareholdings only use the CRN specific to that Shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings . This can result in your Application monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result that any Application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).
- (b) By Electronic Funds Transfer (overseas applicants)
For payment by Electronic Funds Transfer ( EFT ) for overseas Eligible Shareholders, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via EFT if you are the holder of an account that supports EFT transactions to an Australian bank account. Please note that should you choose to pay by EFT:
-
(i) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You MUST use your HIN or SRN, or your application may not be able to be reconciled and your funds may be returned to you. If you make your payment with EFT, you must return your completed personalised Application Form to the Share Registry by contacting the Share Registry at [email protected] ;
-
(ii) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your Application monies; and
-
(iii) if you pay more than is required to subscribe for your Entitlement, you will be taken to have applied for Shortfall Securities (if any) under the Shortfall Offer, to the extent of the excess.
(c) By Cheque
Payment by cheque or case will not be accepted.
2.4 Implications of an acceptance
Returning a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form or paying any Application monies by BPAY® or EFT will be taken to constitute a representation by you that:
-
(a) you have received a copy of this Prospectus and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and read them both in their entirety;
-
(b) you acknowledge that once the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is returned, or a BPAY® or EFT payment instruction is given in relation to any Application monies, the application may not be varied or withdrawn except as required by law.
2.5
Minimum subscription
There is no minimum subscription in respect of the Offer.
2.6
Shortfall Offer
Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Offer will form the Shortfall Offer ( Shortfall Securities ). The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date. The issue price for each Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.003 being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Offer, together with 1 New Option for every 1 Share subscribed for and issued.
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 Offer and potentially be allocated to other Eligible Shareholders or other third parties as part of the Shortfall Offer. The Shortfall Offer will only be available where there is a Shortfall between applications received from Eligible Shareholders and the number of Securities proposed to be issued under the Offer.
8
Eligible Shareholders who wish to subscribe for Securities above their Entitlement are invited to apply for Shortfall Securities under the Shortfall Offer by completing the appropriate section on their Entitlement and Acceptance Form or by making payment for such Shortfall Securities in accordance with Section 2.3.
The Board presently intends to allocate Shortfall Securities as follows:
-
(a) to Eligible Shareholders who apply for an excess of their full Entitlement, so long as the issue of Shortfall Securities to that Eligible Shareholder would not take their voting power to in excess of 19.99%; and then
-
(b) to other parties identified by the Directors, which may include parties who are not currently Shareholders.
No Securities will be issued to a party under the Shortfall Offer if the effect would be to increase that party’s voting power in the Company to an amount greater than 19.99%.
The Company reserves the right to issue an Eligible Shareholder a lesser number of Shortfall Securities than applied for or no Shortfall Securities at all. However, the Directors do not intend to refuse an application for Shortfall Securities from Eligible Shareholders other than in circumstances of oversubscription or where acceptance may result in a breach of the Corporations Act. If the number of Shortfall Securities applied for by Eligible Shareholders exceeds the total Shortfall, the Shortfall Securities will be allocated among applying Eligible Shareholders proportionate to their existing holdings.
All decisions regarding the allocation of Shortfall Securities will be made by the Directors and will be final and binding on all applicants under the Shortfall Offer; as such there is no guarantee that any Shortfall Securities applied for will be issued to Eligible Shareholders.
The Company will have no liability to any Applicant who receives less than the number of Shortfall Securities they applied for under the Shortfall Offer. If the Company scales back any applications for Shortfall Securities under the Shortfall Offer any Application monies will be returned (without interest) as soon as practicable.
2.7 ASX listing
Application for Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of three months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any Shares and will repay all Application monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.
The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares now offered for subscription.
2.8 Issue of Securities
Securities issued pursuant to the Offer will be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at Section 1.
Securities issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be issued on a progressive basis. Where the number of Securities issued is less than the number applied for, or where no issue is made, surplus Application monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Shortfall Offer.
Pending the issue of the Securities or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all Application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.
Holding statements for Securities issued under the Offer will be mailed as soon as practicable after the issue of Securities and for Shortfall Securities issued under the Shortfall Offer as soon as practicable after their issue.

2.9 Overseas shareholders
This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Securities these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Shares will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.
New Zealand
This Offer to New Zealand investors is a regulated offer made under Australian and New Zealand law. In Australia, this is Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and regulations made under that Act. In New Zealand, this is subpart 6 of Part 9 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and Part 9 of the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014.
This Offer and the content of the offer document are principally governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. In the main, the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the regulations made under that Act set out how the offer must be made.
There are differences in how financial products are regulated under Australian law. For example, the disclosure of fees for managed investment schemes is different under the Australian regime.
The rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements available to New Zealand investors in Australian financial products may differ from the rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements for New Zealand financial products.
Both the Australian and New Zealand financial markets regulators have enforcement responsibilities in relation to this offer. If you need to make a complaint about this offer, please contact the Financial Markets Authority, New Zealand (http://www.fma.govt.nz). The Australian and New Zealand regulators will work together to settle your complaint.
The taxation treatment of Australian financial products is not the same as for New Zealand financial products. If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.
The Offer may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the financial products is not New Zealand dollars. The value of the financial products will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between that currency and New Zealand dollars. These changes may be significant.
If you expect the financial products to pay any amounts in a currency that is not New Zealand dollars, you may incur significant fees in having the funds credited to a bank account in New Zealand in New Zealand dollars.
If the financial products are able to be traded on a financial product market and you wish to trade the financial products through that market, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the financial products on your behalf. If the financial product market does not operate in New Zealand, the way in which the market operates, the regulation of participants in that market, and the information available to you about the financial products and trading may differ from financial product markets that operate in New Zealand.
Nominees and custodians
Nominees and custodians may not submit an Entitlement and Acceptance Form on behalf of any Shareholder resident outside Australia and New Zealand without the prior consent of the Company, taking into account relevant securities law restrictions. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.

4. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES
4.1 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares
A summary of the rights attaching to Shares is detailed below. This summary is qualified by the full terms of the Constitution (a full copy of the Constitution is available from the Company on request free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders.
These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities which attach to Shares in any specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek legal advice.
(a) General Meetings
Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to attend general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, financial reports and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Constitution, Corporations Act or Listing Rules. The notice must state the general nature of business and any other matters required by the constitution, Corporations Act or Listing Rules.
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.
(b) Voting Rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:
-
(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
-
(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid shares, shall have a fraction of a vote equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid up bears to the total issue price for the share.
(c) Dividend Rights
The Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to Shareholders entitled to the dividend. The dividend shall (subject to the rights of any preference shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividends) be payable on all Shares in accordance with the Corporations Act.
Dividends are payable out of the Company's profits and are declared by the Directors. The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders such interim dividends as they may determine. The Directors may direct payment of the dividend to be made wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company such amounts as they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.
14
(d) Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of shareholders.
The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other Securities in respect of which there is any liability.
(e) Transfer of Shares
Generally, Shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or Listing Rules.
The Company may decline to register any transfer where permitted to do so by the Listing Rules and must decline to register a transfer of Shares where required by the Listing Rules.
(f) Variation of Rights
Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.
If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to a class (unless otherwise provided by terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of 75% of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
(g) Alteration of constitution
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.
(h) Dividend policy
The Company does not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the immediately foreseeable future.
Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the sole discretion of the Directors and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings and operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.

(m) Adjustment for reorganisation
If there is any reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the holder will be varied in accordance with the Listing Rules.

5. RISK FACTORS
5.1 Introduction
The Securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered as highly speculative and an investment in the Company is not risk free.
The Directors strongly recommend that prospective investors consider the risk factors set out in this Section 5, together with all other information contained in this Prospectus.
The future performance of the Company and the value of the Securities may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The key risks associated with the Company’s business, the industry in which it operates and general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities and financial markets generally are described below.
The risks factors set out in this Section 5, or other risk factors not specifically referred to may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company and the value of the Securities. This Section 5 is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
Before determining whether to invest in the Company you should ensure that you have a sufficient understanding of the risks described in this Section 5 and all of the other information set out in this Prospectus and consider whether an investment in the Company is suitable for you, taking into account your objectives, financial situation and needs.
If you do not understand any matters contained in this Prospectus or have any queries about whether to invest in the Company, you should consult your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser.
5.2 Company specific
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| Potential for dilution | Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 16.67% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus). No immediate dilution will occur as a result of the issue of New Options under this Prospectus. However subsequent exercise of any or all of the New Options will result in dilution. Assuming all New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus are issued and exercised into Shares, Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer, are likely to be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 28.57% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company, a Share or an Option will be following the completion of the Offer being implemented and the Directors do not make any representation as to such matters. The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the Prospectus being lodged of $0.004 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares after implementation of the Offer. |
| 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 under the Offer. 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 and scale back its operations as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional fundingor be able to secure fundingon terms favourable to the |

| Going Concern | The Company’s full year financial report released on 30 June 2024 (Financial Report) includes a note on the financial condition of the Company and the possible existence of a material uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding this, the Directors believe that upon the successful completion of the Offer, the Company will have sufficient funds to adequately meet the Company’s current commitments and short- term working capital requirements. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company securing additional debt and/or equity funding and/or generating profits from its normal course of business. In the event that the Offer is not completed successfully there is significant uncertainty as to whether the Company can continue as a going concern which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities. |
| SE FormulaTM – Plant Based Anti-Microbial Technology |
The SE FormulaTMis a high performance proprietary all-natural plant based technology used in the Company’s proprietary award winning brands including Invisi-Shield SuprCuvr plant-based hospital grade disinfectant range, Eco Nuture horticultural based plant bio stimulant, Soléo Organics natural sunscreen brand, PapayaActivs therapeutic skincare range and Elizabeth Jane Natural Cosmetics. The SE FormulaTMis the result of more than 19 years research and development by the Company’s team in the area of plant-based bio technology. Since launching the Company has achieved over $8 million in global test marketing sales of its SE Formula products historically through its national and international network of distributors and online sales. The Company’s business structure utilises third party manufacturing, logistics, distribution and sales organisations to undertake activities for the commercialisation of its SE FormulaTMproducts. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to achieve any significant sales revenue in regard to its SE FormulaTM product range. |
| Regulatory Requirements and Government legislation and policy changes |
The Company’s products are classified as “therapeutic goods” in Australia to ensure quality, safety and efficacy and have strict controls for independent testing of therapeutic claims and use of GMP manufacturing. Similar regulations framework exists in most countries such as USA (Food and Drug Administration – FDA). The Company has obtained national Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approval and registration for its Invisi Shield SuprCuvr TGA approved COVID 19 disinfectant (AUST-L 373328), Soléo Organics natural and organic sunscreen (AUST-L 348716, 322958, 322956, 322469, 322468, 310340, & 116246), and PapayaActivs natural therapeutics skincare (AUST-L 350987, 350986, 350476, 350475, & 345957) and international registrations including Federal Drug Administration (USA FDA), European Union, and Ministry of Health Japan and Canada. Changes in relevant laws, regulations and government policies regarding the regulation of sunscreens or skincare products could adversely affect the Company’s proposed operations, increase costs, or affect the financial performance or any future revenue of the Company. |
| Competition Risks | While the research and development of all organic and natural skin care products requires considerable time, expertise, skill and process, competition for the Company’s products may come from global and local skin care companies entering both the Australian market and international markets identified bythe Companythat |
19
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| currently do not provide all natural and organic skin care products to their customers. This could reduce the addressable market available to the Company, or increase competition or cause margin reductions available to the Company. |
|
| Change in Regulations |
There is a risk that laws or regulations may be introduced or amended in Australia, or in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company’s sells, or sources its ingredients or products. Changes to the regulatory environment could have a material effect in a number of ways. For example, the financial and production effects resulting from changing requirements to: (a) product packaging or labelling requirements as a requirement of regulatory medicine content disclosures; or (b) restrictions that prevent or restrict access to markets by amendments to regulations governing the export or importation of products. While the Directors are not aware of any current issues, or any impending regulatory change in relevant markets, there is the potential for any such measures to materially reduce the Company’s revenues or increase its costs. |
| Manufacturing Risks and Regulations |
The process of manufacturing the Company's products is complex, highly regulated and subject to numerous quality assessments controls and procedures. This process may be subject to several manufacturing risks, including the following: (a) deviations from normal manufacturing processes and controls could result in delays in production, reduced production yields, product defects and other supply disruptions; (b) the manufacturing facilities in which the Company's products are made could be adversely affected by equipment failures, labour shortages, natural disasters, power failures and numerous other factors; (c) the Company and its contract manufacturers must comply with the TGA regulations and guidelines. The Company and its contract manufacturers may encounter difficulties in achieving quality control and quality assurances to the standard required or, changes to the regulations and guidelines may require the Company to seek an alternative manufacturer, increase in costs or reduce volumes. There may be a shortage of persons qualified to administer the regulations and guidelines or may require additional training or qualifications. The Company and its contract manufacturers are subject to inspections by the TGA and comparable agencies in other jurisdictions to confirm compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. Any failure to follow TGA or other regulatory requirements or any delay, interruption or other issues that arise in the manufacture, packaging, or storage of the Company's products as a result of a failure of the Company's facilities or the facilities or operations of third parties to comply with regulatory requirements or pass any regulatory authority inspection could significantly impair the Company's ability to develop and commercialise the Company's products. Significant non-compliance could also result in the imposition of sanctions, including fines, injunctions, civil penalties, failure of regulatory authorities to grant marketing approvals for the Company's products, delays, suspension or withdrawal of approvals, license revocation,seizures or recalls ofproducts, |
20
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions, any of which could damage the Company's reputation. If the Company is not able to maintain regulatory compliance, the Company may not be permitted to market its products or may be subject to product recalls, seizures, injunctions, or criminal prosecution; and (d) any adverse developments affecting manufacturing operations for the Company's products may result in shipment delays, inventory shortages, product withdrawals or recalls, or other interruptions in the supply of the Company's products. The Company may also have to take inventory write-offs and incur other charges and expenses for products that fail to meet specifications, undertake costly remediation efforts or seek more costly manufacturing alternatives. The Company currently only utilises three TGA approved manufacturers across the product range. Accordingly, there is a concentration of manufacturing with each provider, in relation to each product line. There are no minimum production commitments in place between the Company and its manufacturers, although the parties have worked together for many years. The manufacturers have advised that they currently have sufficient capacity to manufacture the Company’s products in the near future. There is also a requirement that manufacturers producing the Company’s products must comply with TGA regulations. There is a risk that for some reason outside the Company’s control that its manufacturer(s) could lose their regulatory approvals. Should there be a disruption with this particular manufacturer or others, or the manufacturer elects not to continue manufacturing the Company’s products, then this could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to meet consumer demand and may impact the financial performance and future prospects of the business. However, this risk can be mitigated as there are also numerous other TGA approved manufacturing facilities in Australia and overseas. |
|
| Raw Ingredients Supply |
The availability of organic and natural materials to meet the growing production plans of the Company’s products is a critical part of supply chain management. Should there be interruptions in the Company’s ingredient supply chain or economic or environment events impacting the availability of these raw materials then this could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to meet consumer demand and impact the financial performance and future prospects of the business. |
| Distribution | The Company relies on a network of distributors in Australia and internationally including New Zealand, Japan and Europe. The Company distributes its products both locally in Australia and internationally through distributors in these jurisdictions. Should the Company fail to secure suitable formal distribution contracts or fail to engage suitable distributors, or should engaged contracts default or fail to deliver, the distribution of the Company’s products could be limited or restricted which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial performance and future prospects of the business. |
| Brand and Reputation | The Company's Intellectual Property is a key asset of its business. The reputation and value associated with the Company's brand names and related Intellectual Property could be adversely affected by a number of factors, including failing to provide customers with the quality of product they expect, contamination or recall issues, disputes or litigation with third parties, employees, suppliers or customers,or adverse media coverage(including |
21
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| social media), or other circumstances including those beyond the direct control of the Company. Significant erosion in the reputation of, or value associated with the Company’s brands, could have an adverse effect on customer loyalty, relationships with key suppliers, employee retention rates, and overall demand for the Company’s products. |
|
| Unable to adequately prevent disclosure of Intellectual Property |
The Company relies on trade secrets to protect its Intellectual Property, especially where the Company does not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. The Company relies in part on confidentiality agreements with its employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, sponsored researchers and other advisors to protect the Intellectual Property. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information and the Intellectual Property and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or the Intellectual Property. In addition, others may independently discover Intellectual Property. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of the Intellectual Property. Failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection, or failure to adequately protect the Intellectual Property could enable competitors to develop generic products or use the Intellectual Property to develop other products that compete with the Company's products or cause additional, material adverse effects upon the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. |
| Claims by third parties that the Company has infringed their proprietary rights |
Because patent applications are maintained in secrecy until the application is published, the Company may be unaware of third party patents that may be infringed by commercialisation of the Company's product. In addition, identification of third party patent rights that may be relevant to the Company's products and technology is difficult because patent searching is imperfect due to differences in terminology among patents, incomplete databases and the difficulty in assessing the meaning of patent claims. Any claims of patent infringement asserted by third parties would be time consuming and could likely: (a) result in costly litigation; (b) divert the time and attention of the Company’s technical personnel and management; (c) cause development delays; (d) prevent the Company from commercialising its products until the asserted patent expires or is held finally invalid or not infringed in a court of law; (e) require the Company to develop non-infringing products; or (f) require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Although no third party has asserted a claim of patent infringement against the Company, others may hold proprietary rights that could prevent the Company's products from being marketed. Any patent-related legal action against the Company claiming damages and seeking to enjoin commercial activities relating to the Company’s products could subject the Company to potential liability for damages and require the Company to obtain a license to continue to manufacture or market the Company’s products. The Company cannot predict whether the Company would prevail in any such actions or that any license required under any of these patents would be made available on commerciallyacceptable |
22
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| terms, if at all. In addition, the Company cannot be sure that the Company could re-design its products to avoid infringement, if necessary. Accordingly, an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding, or the failure to obtain necessary licenses, could prevent the Company from developing and commercialising its products, which could harm its business, financial condition and operating results. |
|
| Loss of key personnel | In the short term until a suitable team is put in place, the Company’s success depends to a significant extent on its key personnel, in particular Messrs. Peter Malone and Leo Fung. Peter and Leo have extensive experience in, and knowledge of, the Company’s products and business. The loss of key management personnel or any delay in their replacement could have a significant adverse effect on the management of the Company, its financial performance and future prospects. |
5.3 Industry specific
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| Product Contamination and Recall |
As a producer of natural skin care products, the Company is subject to a general risk that any product contamination or product recall issue (however caused) could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s brand and thus its financial performance. The Company and its manufacturer employ a number of measures to minimise the risk in this area (such as requiring manufacturers to have current TGA and GMP accreditation and the Company having appropriate insurance in place). |
| Foreign Exchange | The Company distributes its products both in Australia and overseas. As distribution networks grow and further expand into USA, Canada, Japan and other countries, it is anticipated that more business will be conducted in foreign currencies. Hence, foreign currency risk may become more relevant over time. |
| Insurance | The Company insures its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company’s insurance may not be available or of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. In addition, there is a risk that an insurer defaults in the payment of a legitimate claim by the Company. |
| Contractual Disputes | As with any contract, there is a risk that the business could be disrupted in situations where there is a disagreement or dispute in relation to a term of the contract. Should such a disagreement or dispute occur, this may have an adverse impact on the Company's operations and performance generally. It is not possible for the Company to predict or protect itself against all such risks. |
| Third Party Risk | The operations of the Company require the involvement of a number of third parties, including suppliers, contractors and clients. Financial failure, default or contractual non-compliance on the part of such third parties may have a material impact on the Company's operations and performance. It is not possible for the Company to predict or protect the Company against all such risks. |
23
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| Retail Environment | There may be an economic downturn in Australia or the overseas markets that may cause the retail environment to deteriorate as consumers reduce their retail spending on discretionary items. This may result in reduced turnover in the Company’s products in Australia or overseas markets. |
5.4 General risks
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| Government legislation and policy changes |
Changes in relevant laws, regulations and government policies may adversely affect the Company’s product approvals, ingredient availability, proposed operations, increase costs, or affect the financial performance or any future revenue of the Company. Such changes are beyond the control of the Company. |
| Economic | General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. |
| Market conditions | 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) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation; (c) interest rates and inflation rates; (d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; (e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and (f) terrorism or other hostilities. The market price of Securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company. |
| Litigation risks | The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including intellectual property claims, contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation. |
| Unforeseen expenses | While the Company is not aware of any expenses that may need to be incurred that have not been taken into account, if such expenses were subsequently incurred, the expenditure proposals of the Company may be adversely affected. |
| Macro-economic risks |
Changes in the general economic outlook in Australia and globally may impact the performance of the Company. Such changes may include: (a) uncertainty in the Australian economy or increases in the rate of inflation resulting from domestic or international conditions (including movements in domestic interest rates and reduced economic activity); (b) increases in expenses (including the cost of goods and services used by the Company); |
24
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| (c) new or increased government taxes, duties or changes in taxation laws; and (d) fluctuations in equity markets in Australia and internationally. |
|
| Dividends | Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company. |
| Taxation | The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All prospective investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Securities under this Prospectus. |
| Economic conditions and other global or national issues |
General economic conditions, laws relating to taxation, new legislation, trade barriers, movements in interest and inflation rates, currency exchange controls and rates, national and international political circumstances (including outbreaks in international hostilities, wars, terrorist acts, sabotage, subversive activities, security operations, labour unrest, civil disorder, and states of emergency), natural disasters (including fires, earthquakes and floods), and quarantine restrictions, epidemics and pandemics, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial performance, including the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. General economic conditions may also affect the value of the Company and its market valuation regardless of its actual performance. |
| Broader general risks | There are also a number of broader general risks which may impact the Company’s performance. These include: (a) abnormal stoppages in normal business operations due to factors such as war, political or civil unrest, infrastructure failure or industrial disruption; (b) higher than budgeted costs associated with the provision of service offerings; and (c) material litigation – the Company is not currently involved in any material litigation and is not aware of any facts or circumstances that may give rise to any material litigation. However, given the scope of the Company’s activities and the wide range of parties with which it is likely to deal, the Company may be exposed to potential litigation from third parties such as clients, regulators, employees and business associates. |
| Acquisitions | As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies, products, technologies and/or products that are complementary to the Company’s business. Any such future transactions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products and technologies, such as integrating cultures and systems of operation, relocation of operations,short term strain on workingcapital requirements, |

|---|---|
| achieving the sales and margins anticipated and retaining key staff and customer and supplier relationships. |
