NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

Dear Shareholder,

1 INTRODUCTION

I am writing to you with details of the general meeting which we propose to hold on 30 June 2010 at 11 a.m. ("EGM"). The formal notice of meeting is attached to this document.

The business to be proposed and considered at the EGM is summarised below.

2 REORGANISATION OF THE SHARE CAPITAL

2.1 The par value of the Company's Existing Ordinary Shares is 0.5 pence, which is the minimum price at which the ordinary shares can be issued. We are proposing to undertake a re-organisation of the Company's share capital. The proposal, which would be implemented by resolution 1 (as set out in the attached notice) if passed, would involve splitting each Existing Ordinary Share into one new ordinary share of 0.05 pence ("New Ordinary Share") and one deferred share of 0.45 pence ("2010 Deferred Share") and each unissued ordinary share into 10 New Ordinary Shares.

2.2 The rights of the 2010 Deferred Shares will be very limited (they do not carry voting rights and carry no rights to dividends and only have rights to return of capital after very substantial sums have first been paid to the holders of the New Ordinary Shares). As such, most of the value in the issued shares is vested in the New Ordinary Shares and not the 2010 Deferred Shares. Only the New Ordinary Shares will be listed on the Official List of ASX, in place of the Existing Ordinary Shares and application for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading in place of the Existing Ordinary Shares with effect from the passing of resolution 1 (as set out in the attached notice) will be made to ASX. The terms of issue of the 2010 Deferred Shares enable the Company to acquire them for nominal consideration and for the Company to transfer such shares on behalf of the holders.

2.3 The practical effect of this change, if implemented, will be that each Shareholder will receive the same number of New Ordinary Shares as they hold Existing Ordinary Shares, without any diminution in rights or value. The 2010 Deferred Shares can be purchased back from Shareholders for nominal consideration to facilitate tidying up the share capital in due course.

3


2.4 For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.20:

(a) the proposed reorganisation of share capital will double the number of shares on issue but will make no change to the number of shares listed on the ASX and will have no effect on the amount unpaid on the Company's securities as all of its issued shares are fully paid;

(b) no fractional entitlements will arise from the reorganisation; and

(c) there are no convertible securities of the Company on issue.

2.5 For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.22 the Company notes that the number of options of the Company on issue and their exercise price will not be affected by the reorganisation and no benefit arising from the reorganisation will be received by the holders of options that is not received by the holders of ordinary shares in the Company.

3 ADMISSION TO ASX

The reorganisation of the share capital is conditional upon the New Ordinary Shares being admitted to ASX. Application for such Admission will be made so as to enable the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on ASX on a deferred settlement basis the next business day after the meeting. It is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 am on 2 July 2010. The reorganisation of the share capital will be effective upon Admission.

4 CDIs

4.1 In order that the Company's securities can be listed and traded on ASX all of its issued shares are held by CHESS Depository Nominees Pty Ltd on trust for the shareholders of the Company and a CDI is issued to the relevant shareholder for each share. The New Ordinary Shares will similarly be held by CHESS Depository Nominees Pty Ltd in trust and a new CDI will be issued for each New Ordinary Share. Accordingly, each reference in this notice to the listing on the ASX of New Ordinary Shares, Existing Ordinary Shares and shares is a reference to CDIs issued with respect to those shares and each reference to "Shareholder" is a reference to the holders of those CDIs with a beneficial interest in the shares, unless the context requires otherwise.

4.2 In order that certain options issued by the Company can be listed and traded on ASX all of its issued options are held by CHESS Depository Nominees Pty Ltd on trust for the optionholders of the Company and a CDI is issued to the relevant optionholder for each option. Accordingly, each reference in this notice to the listing of options on the ASX is a reference to CDI's issued with respect to those options and each reference to "optionholder" is a reference to the holders of those CDI's with a beneficial interest in the options, unless the context requires otherwise

5 SETTLEMENT

5.1 If you hold a holder statement in respect of your CDIs for your Existing Ordinary Shares in the Company, your holder statement will no longer be valid from the time that the proposed reorganisation of the share capital becomes effective. You will be sent a new holder statement evidencing the New Ordinary Shares and 2010 Deferred Shares to which you are entitled under the reorganisation of the share capital on the Record Date of 9 July 2010. Such holder statements are expected to be dispatched no later than 14 July 2010. Upon receipt of the new holder statement, you should destroy any old holder statement. Pending the dispatch of the new holder statements, transfers of certificated New Ordinary Shares and 2010 Deferred Shares will be certified against the Company's share register.

5.2 You should expect to have your CHESS account credited with the CDI's for the New Ordinary Shares and 2010 Deferred Shares to which you are entitled on implementation of the reorganisation of the share capital as soon as practicable after the reorganisation of the share capital becomes effective.

6 AUTHORITY TO ALLOT SHARE CAPITAL AND WAIVER OF PRE-EMPTION RIGHTS

The Board will be renewing its authority to allot relevant securities:

(a) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £50 million (approx. AUD 82.9 million); and

(b) as if statutory pre-emption rights did not apply to any such allotment,

to provide the Company with sufficient capacity to allot further shares over the coming year, including in connection with the Placement, subject always to the Listing Rules. The authorities will expire upon the earlier of 5 years from the date of the EGM and the date of cessation of the Company's listing on ASX. The level of authority has been set deliberately high for so long as the Company's ASX listing is maintained, as Shareholders will still have protection in the form of Rule 7 of the Listing Rules (requiring shareholder approval for issues of shares exceeding 15% of the issued share capital at the time).


7 RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS ISSUE OF SECURITIES

7.1 On 7 May 2010, the Company issued 48,279,875 fully paid ordinary shares to CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd to hold on behalf of clients of Mac Equity Partners Pty Ltd in order to fund working capital requirements as part of the Placement.¹

7.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of equity securities without approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 if:

a. the issue of securities did not breach Listing Rule 7.1; and
b. holders of ordinary securities subsequently approve the issue.

7.3 Broadly speaking, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prevents a listed company from issuing securities in excess of 15% of its issued capital at any point in time unless shareholder approval is obtained.

7.4 The effect of resolution 3 is that the Company will be able to refresh its 15% issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 with effect from the date of the general meeting.

7.5 In compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided

a. ASX Listing Rule 7.5.1: The number of securities issued.

  • 48,279,875 ordinary shares

b. ASX Listing Rule 7.5.2: Issue Price of Securities

  • The shares were issued at 0.83 cents (being the par value of 0.5 pence) per share

c. ASX Listing Rule 7.5.3: Terms of Securities

The ordinary shares issued rank equally in all respects with all other Existing Ordinary Shares.

d. ASX Listing Rule 7.5.4: Name of allottees

Name Shares
GEBA Pty Ltd 12,048,192
Brett Graeme WALKER 1,204,819
Charles William THOMAS 1,204,819
Exit Out Pty Ltd 6,024,096
Foley Pty Ltd 3,500,000
Peter Vassileff 6,100,000

Azalea Family Holdings Pty Ltd 2,409,639
Mac Equity Partners Pty Ltd 7,264,213
522 Investments Pty Ltd 2,409,639

e. ASX Listing Rule 7.5.5: Intended use of the funds raised

The funds raised are required for general working capital purposes and to enable the Company to complete several outstanding orders for its products.

f. ASX Listing Rule 7.5.6: Voting exclusion statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 3 by any person who participated in the Placement. However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

  1. it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
  2. it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

8 ISSUE OF OPTIONS AS PART OF PLACEMENT

As part of the capital raising that occurred on 7 May 2010, the Company will, subject to shareholder approval, issue 48,279,875 options to acquire ordinary shares, exercisable at 0.085 cents exercisable on or before a date three years from the issue of the options. The options will be issued for nil consideration on the basis of one option for every one share issued on 7 May 2010. ASX listing will be sought for these options. The options will be issued no later than the date being three months after the date of the general meeting at which approval to issue the options is granted. The persons to whom the options issued are those persons listed at paragraph 7.5(d) of this notice. This information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3 and for all other purposes.

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 4 by any person who participated in the Placement. However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

  1. it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
  2. it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

9 ISSUE OF OPTIONS AS PART CONSIDERATION FOR CAPITAL RAISING FEE

Mac Equity Partners Pty Ltd was given a mandate to raise capital for the Company, resulting in the placement of 48,279,875 Existing Ordinary Shares at 0.83 cents (0.5 pence) with a free attaching option (see paragraph 8 above). As part of the consideration for the fee involved in the capital raising, it is proposed that 5,000,000 options, exercisable at 0.085 cents on or before the date three years from the date of issue of the options, be allotted to Mac Equity Partners Pty Ltd. The options will be issued no later than the date being three months after the date of the general meeting at which approval to issue the options is granted. This information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3 and for all other purposes.

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 5 by Mac Equity Partners Pty Ltd or any of its associates. However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

  1. it is cast by Mac Equity Partners Pty Ltd as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
  2. it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

10 AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

10.1 In addition to implementing the reorganisation of the share capital, resolution 7 (as set out in the attached notice) will, if passed, amend the Company’s Articles of Association (“the Articles”) to set out the new par value of the shares in the Company.

10.2 Further, the final phase of the UK Companies Act 2006 was implemented on 1 October 2009. One of the key changes effective from that date which is proposed to be dealt with at the general meeting is in relation to the authorised share capital and unissued shares of a company. The Companies Act 2006 abolishes the requirement for a company to have an authorised share capital. The Company is proposing changes to its Memorandum and Articles to reflect this. Resolution 7 deletes all provisions of the Company's Memorandum, which are deemed to form part of the Articles, relating to authorised share capital. The Directors will still be limited as to the number of shares they can at any time allot because allotment authority continues to be required under the Companies Act 2006.

10.3 A copy of the Articles of the Company showing the amendments proposed above will be available for inspection at the registered office [, as well as the Australian office,] of the Company during normal business hours on any weekday up to the date of the general meeting.

11 GENERAL MEETING

11.1 In order to give effect to the matters detailed above, the resolutions set out in the attached notice need to be approved by Shareholders in general meeting.

11.2 You will therefore find set out at the end of this document a notice convening the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at 5/15 Walters Drive, Osborne Park WA 6017 at 11 a.m on 30 June 2010 at which the resolutions set out in the notice of meeting will be proposed.

12 ACTION TO BE TAKEN

A Form of Proxy is enclosed for use by Shareholders at the EGM. If you are a Shareholder, you are requested to complete, sign and return the Form of Proxy, whether or not you intend to be present at the meeting, and return it to PO Box 2067, Churchlands WA 6018 or by fax to +61 8 9204 4866. The completion and return of a Form of Proxy will not prevent you from attending the meeting and voting in person should you subsequently wish to do so.

13 RECOMMENDATION

13.1 The Directors consider that the proposed resolutions are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

13.2 Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the resolutions being proposed at the EGM, as they intend to do or procure to be done in respect of their own and their connected persons’ beneficial holdings in the Company.

Yours faithfully

Colin McDonald
Company Secretary
