Consideration paid by Motopia for any share acquisition will be in either Motopia shares or cash and will be subject to any necessary ASX or shareholder approvals.

Motopia has no obligation to acquire any of these shares and an acquisition(s) will only be considered based on an analysis of the individual company’s financial performance at the specific milestone dates.

Any acquisition of shares will be directed to underpinning sustainable profitability of Motopia.

2SQL’s automation capability consistently delivers between a 95% -­‐ 97% conversion completion outcome. Importantly, 2SQL also provides significant journaling and detail to aid developers engaged in the residual 3% -­‐ 5% manual clean-­‐up effort.

The impact on businesses of the 2SQL automation program is to reduce conversion costs and effort, with projects timelines typically cut by up to 70% and costs by up to half, and in many cases more.

**Priority

Processing Pty Ltd**

PPS has been established to supply a range of financial transaction services into a number of industry sectors.

These include Customer Engagement Program (CEP) operators (loyalty program operators), clubs and associations, major utilities, super funds, unions, merchant groups and charitable organisations.

PPS will facilitate the interaction between consumers and retailers by enabling direct, intimate, targeted and rewarding transactions between them. This comes from its innovative and powerful consumer rewards and engagement programs (Bonus Cash) now combined with Lemon and Limes digital mobile and m/ecommerce technology and management to provide consumer and retailer benefits that that have not been previously available.

**mVentures

Pty Ltd**

mV supplies services into the prepaid (debit card) transaction processing space. mV is capitalizing on an opportunity to address existing unsatisfied demand in the Club and Associations sector (including loyalty programs) through providing real-­‐time financial transaction services which integrate with loyalty and existing management systems.

Central to the opportunity is the current financial pressure on the Clubs to increase their membership and to implement methods to supplement and/or replace potential lost revenue due to legislation in the gaming industry.
