$\mathbf{1}$ MANAGING DIRECTOR'S LETTER

10 July 2012

As announced on 14 June 2012, the Company is undertaking a non-renounceable rights issue on the basis of one (1) New Share for every six (6) Existing Shares held at the issue price of $0.02 per New Share to raise $2,277,326 before issue costs plus three (3) free attaching Options for every one (1) New Share subscribed for, with an exercise price of 2 cents and an expiry date of 30 June 2013.

The proceeds from the Offer are to be used to fund working capital and the costs of the issue.

All Directors have stated that they intend to take up their full Entitlement under the Offer.

Please read this Prospectus carefully before deciding whether or not to invest. An investment in the Company contains specific risks which you should consider before making that decision. If there is any matter on which you require further information, you should consult your stockbroker, accountant or other professional advisor.

I commend this rights issue to you and look forward to your continued support as a Shareholder.

Steven Apedaile Managing Director

$\overline{2}$ DETAILS OF THE OFFER

$2.1$ The Offer

A non-renounceable pro rata offer to Eligible Shareholders of 113,866,304 New Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per New Share on the basis of one (1) New Share for every six (6) Existing Shares held and 341,598,912 free attaching New Options on the basis of three (3) free attaching New Options for every one (1) New Share subscribed for to raise up to $2,277,326 before issue costs.

$2.2$ No Minimum Subscription

There is no minimum subscription for the Offer.

$2.3$ Not Underwritten

The Offer is not underwritten.

Entitlement to Offer $2.4$

Eligible Shareholders who are on the Company's Share Register at 5pm (WST) on the Record Date are eligible to participate in the Offer.

Fractional Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares and New Options. For this purpose, holdings in the same name are aggregated for calculation of Entitlements. If the Company considers that holdings have been split to take advantage of rounding, the Company reserves the right to aggregate holdings held by associated Shareholders for the purpose of calculating Entitlements.

An Application Form setting out your Entitlement to New Securities accompanies this Prospectus.

No Rights Trading $2.5$

The Offer is non-renounceable. This means that the Rights of Eligible Shareholders to subscribe for New Securities under this Prospectus are not transferrable and there will be no trading of the Rights on ASX. Eligible Shareholders who choose not to take up their Rights will receive no benefit and their shareholding in the Company will be diluted as a result.

$2.6$ Shortfall

A Shortfall will arise if the Applications received for New Shares under the Offer are less than the number of New Shares offered.

The Directors reserve the right to place the Shortfall Shares at a price not less than the issue price of the New Shares under the Offer, provided that the Shortfall Shares may only be offered to investors who are sophisticated or professional investors under the Corporations Act.

$2.7$ Acceptances

This Offer may be accepted in whole or in part prior to the Closing Date subject to the rights of the Company to extend the Offer period or close the Offer early.

Instructions for accepting your Entitlement are set out in section 4 and on the Application Form which accompanies this Prospectus.

$2.8$ Applying for Additional New Securities

Eligible Shareholders may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for additional New Securities regardless of the size of their present holding.

Any Entitlements not taken up may become available as Additional New Securities which may be placed by the Company. It is possible that there will be few or no Additional New Securities available for issue, depending on the level of take up of Entitlements by Shareholders. There is also no guarantee that in the event Additional New Securities are available for issue, they will be allocated to all or any of the Eligible Shareholders who have applied for them.

It is an express term of the Offer that applicants for Additional New Securities will be bound to accept a lesser number of Additional New Securities allocated to them than applied for. If a lesser number is allocated to them, excess application money will be refunded without interest. The Company reserves the right to scale back any applications for Additional New Securities in its absolute discretion.

2.9 Allotment and Application Money

New Securities will be issued only after all Application Money has been received and the ASX has granted permission for the New Securities to be quoted. It is expected that New Securities will be issued on 14 August 2012 and trading of the New Securities on the ASX is expected to commence on 15 August 2012.

All Application Money received before New Securities are issued will be held in a special purpose account. After Application Money is refunded (if required) and New Securities are issued to Applicants, the balance of funds in the account plus accrued interest will be received by the Company.

Application will be made within seven days of the date of issue of this Prospectus for the New Securities to be granted Official Quotation by the ASX. If such an application is not made within these seven days, or Official Quotation of the New Securities is not granted by the ASX within three months of the date of this Prospectus, then the Company will not allot or issue any New Securities and all Application Money received pursuant to this Prospectus will be repaid as soon as practicable, without interest.

If the New Securities are not quoted by the ASX within three months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will refund all Application Money in full.

The fact that the ASX may agree to grant Official Quotation of the New Securities is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Securities. The ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus.

2.10 Treatment of Overseas Shareholders

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of Securities in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to issue the Prospectus or make the Offer. The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any of these restrictions. Failure to comply with these restrictions may violate securities laws.

No action has been taken to register or qualify the Securities or the Offer or otherwise to permit an offering of the Securities in any jurisdiction outside Australia and New Zealand. Shareholders resident in countries outside Australia and New Zealand should consult their professional adviser as to whether any government or other consents are required, or whether any formalities need to be observed should they wish to make an application for the New Securities on the basis of this Prospectus. The return of a completed Application Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by the applicant that all relevant approvals have been obtained.

The Offer contained in this Prospectus to Eligible Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand is made in reliance on the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2002 (New Zealand). Shareholders with a registered address in New Zealand should consult their professional adviser as to whether any government or other consents are required, or other formalities need to be observed, to enable them to exercise their Entitlements under the Offer.

It is the responsibility of any Shareholder who submits an Application Form to obtain all necessary approvals for the allotment and issue of the Securities under this Offer. The return of a completed Application Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by the applicant that all relevant approvals have been obtained.

This document is not for publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States of America (including its territories and possessions, any state of the US and the District of Columbia). This document is not an offer of securities for sale into the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, US Persons. The Securities referred to herein have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, US Persons. No public offering of securities is being made in the United States.

2.11 Notice to nominees and custodians

Nominees and custodians that hold Shares should note that the Offer is available only to Eligible Shareholders. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of securities. If any nominee or custodian is acting on behalf of a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.

$2.12$ Market Prices of Existing Shares on ASX

The highest and lowest market sale price of the Existing Shares, which are on the same terms and conditions as the New Shares being offered under this Prospectus, during the three months immediately preceding the lodgment of this Prospectus with ASIC, and the last market sale price on the date before the lodgment date of this Prospectus, are set out below.

3 months high 3 month low Last market sale price
Existing Shares $$0.024$ on $0.015 on $$0.02$ on

2.14 CHESS

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System (CHESS). ASX Settlement Pty Ltd (ASX Settlement), a wholly owned subsidiary of the ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

Under CHESS, applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of New Securities.

If you are broker sponsored, ASX Settlement will send you a CHESS statement.

The CHESS statement will set out the number of New Securities issued under this Prospectus, provide details of your holder identification number and give the participation identification number of the sponsor.

If you are registered on the issuer sponsored sub register, your statement will be dispatched by the Company's share registrar and will contain the number of New Securities issued to you under this Prospectus and your security holder reference number.

A CHESS statement or issuer sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their shareholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time, however, a charge may be made for additional statements.

2.15 Rights and Liabilities attaching to the New Securities

The New Shares will rank equally in respect of dividends and in all other respects (e.g. voting, bonus issues) as Existing Shares.

A summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares and New Options is set out in section 5.

2.16 Taxation Implications

The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of the Company conducting the Offer or Shareholders applying for New Securities under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation positions of Shareholders. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Shareholders in the Offer. Shareholders should, therefore, consult their own professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Offer.

$3.5$ Effect of the Offer on control of the Company

The potential effect that the issue of New Shares under the Offer will have on the control of the Company, and the consequences of that effect, will depend on a number of factors, including investor demand.

The Offer is not expected to materially impact the control of the Company.

The current relevant interests of the Company's substantial Shareholders (Substantial Shareholders) are set out below1:

Shareholder Ordinary Shares % of Total Ordinary Shares
Mr Michael John Wilson25 133,517,726 19.54%
Mr Richard John Siemens 132,940,734 19.46%

Euro Mark Limited and relatedentitiesNotes: 39,565,333 5.79%
  1. Approximate based on number of Shares held by each Shareholder as at the dates of their most recent substantial holding notices.

The shareholding percentage of those Substantial Shareholders on completion of the Offer will depend upon the take up of their Entitlements. Those Substantial Shareholders who are Directors

have confirmed their intention to take up part or all of their Entitlements and that they will not participate in the Shortfall Offer.

Any Shortfall under the Offer will be dealt with by the Directors in accordance with Section 2.6 of this Prospectus. If not all Shareholders take up their Entitlement under the Offer and the Shortfall Offer is not fully subscribed for, the Substantial Shareholders will increase their shareholdings and therefore voting power in the Company. Any and all increases in acceptances that are received under the Offer and subscription for the Shortfall by Shareholders, will correspondingly reduce the amount of Shortfall and consequent impact of the Substantial Shareholders and their voting power of the Company.

If all Shareholders take up their entitlements under the Offer, the Offer itself will have not have any effect on the control of the Company.

If the amount of your cheque(s) or bank draft(s) for Application Money (or the amount for which those cheque(s) or bank draft(s) clear in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay for the number of New Securities you have applied for in your Application Form, you may be taken to have applied for such lower number of New Securities as your cleared Application Money will pay for (and to have specified that number of New Securities in your Application Form) or your Application may be rejected.

Alternatively, if you are paying the Application Money by electronic funds transfer to the bank account noted on the Application Form, you do not need to mail the Application Form. Please refer to your personalised instructions on your Application Form.

If you wish to receive a benefit, you must take action to accept your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions above and on the back of the accompanying Application Form.

The number of Existing Shares you hold as at the Record Date and the rights attached to those Existing Shares will not be affected if you choose not to accept any of your Entitlement.

  • each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or $(i)$ 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 Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, 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 and pay or credit a dividend in accordance with the Corporations Act. Subject to any special right as to dividends attaching to a share, all dividends will be declared and paid according to the proportion which the amount paid on the Share is to the total amount payable in respect of the Shares (but any amount paid during the period in respect of which a dividend is declared only entitles the Shareholder to an apportioned amount of that dividend as from the date of payment). The Directors may from time to time pay or credit to the Shareholders such interim dividends as they may determine. No dividends shall be payable except out of profits. A determination by the Directors as to the profits of the Company shall be conclusive. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company.

The Directors may from time to time grant to Shareholders or any class of shareholders the right to elect to reinvest cash dividends paid by the Company by subscribing for Shares in the Company on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit. The Directors may, at their discretion, resolve in respect of any dividend which it is proposed to pay or to declare on any Shares of the Company, that holders of such Shares may elect to forgo their right to the whole or part of the proposed dividend and to receive instead an issue of Shares credited as fully paid to the extent and on the terms and conditions of the Constitution. 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.

$(d)$ 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 and the Listing Rules.

$(f)$ Future Increase in Capital

The allotment and issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.

$(g)$ 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 is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the 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 three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

$5.2$ Rights attaching to New Options

The New Options issued pursuant to this Prospectus will be issued on the following terms and conditions:

  • Each New Option will entitle the holder to subscribe for one Share at an exercise price of $(a)$ $0.02.

  • The New Options are exercisable at any time on or before 30 June 2013 wholly or in part $(b)$ by delivering a duly completed form of notice of exercise to the Company, accompanied by payment of the exercise moneys.

  • All Shares allotted on exercise of the New Options will rank equally in all respects with $(c)$ the Company's then Existing Shares.

  • $(d)$ The New Options are freely transferable.

  • Application will be made to the ASX for official quotation of the New Options not later $(e)$ than 7 business days after the date of this Prospectus. Application will be made to ASX for official quotation by ASX of all Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of New Options not later than 10 business days after the date of allotment.

  • Holders of New Options may only participate in new issues of securities as holders of $(f)$ Shares if a New Option has been exercised and Shares have been allotted in respect of the New Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue. The Company must give at least 6 business days' notice to holders of any New Options before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue in accordance with the Listing Rules of ASX.

  • There will be no change to the exercise price of a New Option or the number of Shares $(g)$ over which a New Option is exercisable in the event of the Company making a pro rata issue of Shares or other securities to the holders of Shares (other than for a Bonus Issue).

  • If there is a bonus issue ("Bonus Issue") to the holders of Shares, the number of Shares $(h)$ over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the New Option had been exercised before the record date for the Bonus Issue ("Bonus Shares"). The Bonus Shares must be paid up by the Company out of profits or reserves (as the case may be) in the same manner as was applied in the Bonus Issue and upon issue rank equally in all respects with the other Shares of that class at the date of issue of the Bonus Shares.

  • $(i)$ If, prior to the expiry of any New Options, there is a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company, the New Options shall be reorganised in the manner set out in the Listing Rules.

6 RISK FACTORS

$6.1$ Overview

The New Securities offered under this Prospectus should be regarded as speculative due to the inherent risks associated with the Company's activities. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any investment made pursuant to this Prospectus. An investment in the New Securities offered by this Prospectus should be considered speculative.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders and potential investors examine the contents of this document together with previous ASX disclosures and public documents of the Company, including its most recent audited financial statements, and rely on advice of their professional advisers before deciding whether or not to apply for New Securities pursuant to this document.

The following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors of which potential investors need to be aware.

$6.2$ Company Specific Risks

While all investments have an associated level of inherent risk, the following specific risks should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its prospects.

$(a)$ Intellectual Property Risks

Securing rights in particular patents is an integral part of securing potential product value from the outcomes of research and development. Competition in retaining and sustaining protection of rights and the complex nature of automotive products can lead to expensive and lengthy patent disputes for which there can be no guaranteed outcome.

The granting of a patent does not guarantee that the rights of others are not infringed, nor does it guarantee that competitors will not develop competing technologies circumventing such patents. The Company's success may depend, in part, on its ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection, and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. Because the patent positions of companies with investments in automotive parts can be highly uncertain, and frequently involve complex legal and scientific evaluation, neither the breadth of claims allowed in patents nor their enforceability can be predicted. There can be no assurance that any patents the Company may own or control or license in the future will afford commercially significant protection of the technologies, or that any of the projects that may arise from the technologies will have commercial applications.

$(b)$ Research and Development Risks

The Company can make no representation that any of its research into or development of new technologies will be successful, that any development milestones will be achieved, or that the products will be developed into products that are commercially exploitable.

There are many risks inherent in the development of products in the automotive sector, particularly where the products are in early stages of development. Projects can be delayed or fail to demonstrate any benefit, or research may cease to be viable for a range of scientific and commercial reasons.

$(c)$ Capital Requirement Risks

An inability to raise the minimum capital requirement amount would severely impinge upon the Company's activities.

Furthermore, depending on the Company's ability to generate income from its

operations, the Company may require further financing to fund its operations through equity capital. 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 expansion and development programmes as the case may be.

$(d)$ Automotive Industry Risks

Changes in vehicle production volumes in markets where the Company operates and/or changes in the operations, financial condition or market share of the Company's customers will have an adverse effect on the Company.

$(e)$ Vehicle Affordability Risk

The performance of the automotive retail industry is in part dependent on the general affordability of vehicles. The Company's financial performance could be adversely affected if the affordability of vehicles is reduced as a result of the increased cost of vehicle manufacturing, increased interest rates, and/or the effect of exchange rate fluctuations.

$(f)$ Unforeseen Expenses

The incurrence of substantial unforeseen expenses could adversely affect performance and capital requirements.

Product Liability and Uninsured Risks $(g)$

The Company may be exposed to potential product liability risks, which are inherent in the research and development, manufacturing, marketing and use of products in the automotive sectors. It will be necessary to secure insurance to help manage such risks. The Company may not be able to maintain insurance for product or service liability on reasonable terms in the future and, in addition, the Company's insurance may not be sufficient to cover large claims, or the insurer could disclaim coverage on claims.

$(h)$ Regulatory Risks

The introduction of new legislation or amendments to existing legislation by governments, developments in existing common law, or the respective interpretation of the legal requirements in any of the legal jurisdictions that govern the Company's future operations or contractual obligations, could impact adversely on the assets, operations and, ultimately, financial performance of the Company.

$(i)$ Licensing and Marketing Risks

The Company may need to have a strategy to license new products in the early phases of their development to licensees that are able to complete commercialisation of its products. There is no guarantee that suitable licensees will be identified.

$(i)$ Competition Risk

The Company operates in a competitive market environment. The Company's financial performance could be affected if the actions of competitors become more effective or if new competitors enter the market.

New competition may also adversely affect the Company's financial performance in particular areas of the business outside its core areas of competency. This new competition may have an adverse affect on the Company's future financial performance and earnings growth.

Reputation Risk $(k)$

The Company considers its reputation for trust and integrity important in maintaining

ongoing customer goodwill. A range of events could have a material adverse impact on the Company's reputation.

$(1)$ Growth Management Risk

To achieve the growth objectives set out in this Prospectus, the Company will be required to continue to invest in its operational, information and financial systems, procedures and controls. The existing Board and management have extensive experience in managing and implementing growth strategies. The inability to implement the growth strategies outlined in this Prospectus may impact the future financial performance of the Company. Also, there can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these management employees ceases their employment.

$(m)$ Expansion Risk

The Company plans to increase the sale of its products. There is a risk that there may not be sufficient demand to allow an increase in sales which will adversely affect the Company's financial performance.

$(n)$ Offshore Manufacturing Risk

The Company has established offshore manufacturing facilities in conjunction with a joint venture partner. This involves risks such as agreeing terms and practical set up issues of a proposed new manufacturing facility in a foreign country, plus introduces associated political and exchange rate risks.

6.3 General Risks

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;
  • interest rates and inflation rates; $(b)$
  • $(c)$ currency fluctuations;
  • changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; $(d)$
  • $(e)$ changes in government regulation;
  • the demand for, and supply of, capital; and $(f)$
  • terrorism or other hostilities. $(g)$

6.4 Economic Risks

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

$6.5$ Market conditions

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.

6.6 Security Investments

Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. Securities listed on the stock market, and in particular securities of mining and exploration companies have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the securities regardless of the Company's performance.

Exploration in itself is a speculative endeavour, while mining operations can be hampered by force majeure circumstances and cost overruns for unforeseen events.

Legislative changes, Government policy and approvals $6.7$

Changes in government regulations and policies may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.

6.8 Future Capital Requirements

The Company's ongoing activities will require substantial expenditures. There can be no guarantee that the funds raised through the Offer, will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company's overall business strategy. If the Company is unable to continue to use debt or equity to fund expansion after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Offer, there can be no assurances that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional fundraising on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders and any debt financing if available may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit the Company's operations and business strategy.

The Company's failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company's business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities.

6.9 Reliance on Key Personnel and Employees

The Company's prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers, senior management and key consultants to operate effectively, both independently and as a group. To manage its growth, the Company must attract and retain additional highly qualified management, technical, sales and marketing personnel and continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems. Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on management's discretion and judgement, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors.

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 the 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.

6.10 Legal Proceedings

The Company is not party to any legal proceedings.

At the time of lodging this Prospectus it is not possible to predict if future proceedings may be taken against the Company.

Any adverse finding made against the Company which cannot be successfully recovered from cross claims made against other parties may result in the Company being liable to pay up to the amount claimed by the parties to the legal proceedings. The Company may also be liable for costs of other parties to the proceedings if these costs are awarded against it, as well as its own legal costs.

Procurement and Manufacturing Risks and Processes 6.11

A number of the Company's suppliers are subject to the risks associated with operating in a foreign country. These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility or instability, and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, safety, and labour relations, as well as government control over properties, or government regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors, or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.

Any future material adverse changes in government policies or legislation in China, Italy, Sweden or the United States of America or in the Company's relationship with a supplier in one of these countries may affect the viability of the Company and its operations.

Failures of equipment and machinery may result in production delays and lead to an inability of the Company to maintain supply which may have a negative impact on the Company's future operations, cash flows and viability.

6.12 International Operations

International sales and operations are subject to a number of risks, including:

  • potential difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through foreign $(a)$ local systems;
  • potential difficulties in protecting intellectual property; $(b)$
  • increases in costs for transportation and shipping; and $(c)$
  • restrictive governmental actions, such as imposition of trade quotas, tariffs and other $(d)$ taxes.

Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

6.13 Distribution Arrangements

The Company has to date appointed distribution agents to act for it in the distribution of its products to retail outlets.

Until it reaches an optimum size to commence wholesaling directly to retailers, the success of the Company's operation depends on the Company's ability to maintain existing, and secure new, distribution arrangements on favourable terms.

No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to successfully negotiate new distribution arrangements on favourable terms or at all. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to continue selling its products under the existing distribution arrangements.

The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a distribution agent which the Company has appointed or may appoint in the future.

Contractors and Service Providers 6.14

The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure, default, insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities; or insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity.

6.15 Strategic Alliances

The Company may in the future seek to enter into strategic alliances with other parties, some of which may be corporations much larger than the Company. There is a risk in managing strategic alliances and partnerships with large corporations.

Should other participants in any strategic alliance not act in the best interests of the Company, this may have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.

The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any strategic alliance to which the Company may become a party.

6.16 Development

The Company will continue product development and research on automotive technologies and the use of substitute materials and processes used in the manufacture of its products.

There is a risk that development of new products will require costs beyond those budgeted and even if developed there is no guarantee that the products can be successfully commercialised and exploited.

6.17 Foreign Exchange

The Company currently has components supplied from Australia, China, Italy, Malaysia, Sweden and the United States of America which are paid for in Australian Dollars, US Dollars, Euros, Malaysian Ringgit, Swedish Krona and US Dollars, respectively.

The Company also sells its products to customers in Australia, China, Europe, Indonesia, Malaysia and the United States of America in the respective currencies of these countries.

In the future a proportion of the Company's revenues, purchases, cash inflows, other expenses, capital expenditure and commitments may be denominated in foreign currencies.

To comply with Australian reporting requirements the income, expenditure and cash flows of the Company will need to be accounted for in Australian dollars. This will result in the income, expenditure and cash flows of the Company being exposed to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between other currencies and the Australian dollar, as determined in international markets.

Furthermore, the Company has decided to not put in place any hedges in relation to foreign exchange. This may result in the Company being exposed to exchange rate risk, which may have an adverse impact on the profitability and/or financial position of the Company.

6.18 Inability to Meet Customer Demand

For any number of reasons the Company may not, from time to time, have an adequate supply of products to meet customer demand which may cause it to be unable to fill orders or to lose sales. Such inability to meet customer demand from time to time may arise if the Company's sales growth accelerates substantially or in the event that its distribution and retail network grows substantially.

The Company anticipates that it will be in a better position to manage and mitigate this risk upon successful completion of the Offer.

6.19 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 Company's securities.

$\overline{7}$ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Continuous Disclosure Obligations

The Company is a "disclosing entity" (as defined in section 111 AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to disclosure obligations. 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 Company's securities. The New Shares which will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus and the Shares issued upon the exercise of the New Options are in the same class of Shares that have been quoted on the official list of the ASX during the 12 months prior to the issue of this Prospectus.

This Prospectus is a "transaction specific prospectus" to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That provision allows the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities in a class which has been continuously quoted by the ASX in the three months prior to the date of the prospectus. In general terms "transaction specific prospectuses" are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of New Securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the New 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.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to the 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 the ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify the ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of the ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by the ASX.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:

  • it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations; $(a)$
  • $(b)$ copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
  • it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person $(c)$ on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:
    • the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 $(i)$ June 2011, being the most recent annual financial report of the Company lodged with ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus; and
    • $(ii)$ any documents used to notify the ASX of information relating to the Company in the period from lodgment of the financial statements referred to in paragraph (i) above until the issue of the Prospectus in accordance with the Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office hours.
