To consider and, if thought fit, to pass, the following as an Ordinary Resolution:

THAT for the purposes of Item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes authorise the directors to issue up to 75 million voting shares to Stanfield Funds Management Pty Ltd (ACN 004 945 162) if, on or before 12 September 2010, Stanfield:

  • does not elect to have the amount of the Convertible Note redeemed; or
  • elects to convert the amount of the Convertible Note to voting shares; or
  • fails to make an election

at a conversion price of 1 (one) cent per share for the amount of the Convertible Note."

Notes:

  • A Convertible Note is an 'equity security' as defined in the listing rules;
  • Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed entity cannot issue an equity security that exceeds 15% of the shares in the entity in any 12 month period unless one of the exceptions in Chapter 7 of the listing rules applies. The relevant exception is the approval of non-associated members;
  • Listing Rule 10.11 provides that an equity security cannot be issued to a person of influence of the listed entity unless one of the exceptions in Chapter 10 of the listing rules applies.

  • A person of influence is:

  • o a director of the Company or his/her associate; or
  • o a substantial holder of securities in the Company.
  • Darren Olney-Fraser is a director of the Company and an associate of Stanfield;
  • Stanfield holds a relevant interest in 20% of the voting shares in the Company and accordingly is a substantial holder;
  • The relevant exception to Rule 10.11 is the approval of non-associated members;
  • The Convertible Note will bear interest at a monthly rate which is 5% above the Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate which is payable monthly in arrear;
  • If converted, the amount of the Convertible Note is convertible at a conversion price of 1 cent (one cent) per share;
  • If the resolution is passed the Convertible Note will be issued within one month of the date of the passing of the resolution of non-associated members.
  • If the amount of the Convertible Note is converted to voting shares Stanfield's relevant interest in voting shares in the Company will exceed 20%. If this resolution is passed the voting shares will be issued to Stanfield on 12 September 2010.

Voting exclusion statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on this resolution by Stanfield and any associate of it. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if 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 if it is cast by a person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

Short Explanatory Statement

As the issue of the Convertible Note is an "equity security" as defined in the listing rules and it is proposed to issue it to a related party of a director and to a substantial holder members must authorise the directors to do so pursuant to listing rule 10.11. If approval is granted pursuant to listing rule 10.11 it is not necessary to seek separate approval pursuant to listing rule 7.1.

The Convertible Note will not be secured.

If the amount of the Convertible Note is to be converted to voting shares in the Company this may only be done if one of the exceptions in section 611 of the Corporations Act applies. The relevant exception in relation to the proposed transaction is Item 7 of Section 611 which permits the acquisition by Stanfield of such a relevant interest if approved by a resolution of the Company at which no votes are cast in favour of the resolution by the person or any associate acquiring the relevant interest.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Background

The Company is engaged in the development, production and distribution of educational and digital media and through its subsidiary, Bridgepark Holdings Pty Ltd (Bridgepark) holds a 300 acre development site at Lot 1 and 2 Western Creek Road, Western Creek, Tasmania (Tasmanian Land). Bridgepark purchased the Tasmanian Land with the intention of developing the site into a number of tourism related projects. However, the development of the Tasmanian Land has not commenced due to delays in Tasmanian Government approval for the development.

The Company has incurred significant financial losses over the last few years and, as a result, has breached its bank covenants. In July 2009, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) sent the Company and its subsidiary Ausmusic Ltd, statutory demands for payment of outstanding debts. In addition to this, CBA lodged a summons in the Supreme Court of Tasmania, for the Company to show cause as to why the court should not order possession of Tasmanian Land" to the Bank, if full payment of the amount owing under the mortgage of the Tasmanian Land was not received by 3 September, 2009.

The Company sought from CBA and was granted an extension of 60 days from 2 September 2009 in which to secure funds to pay out in excess of \$1.391 million in Bank debt. The CBA has been kept apprised of the transaction and the progress of the convening of this Special general Meeting.

On 12 September 2009, the Company, Shannon Capital Pty Ltd, Matici Corp Pty Ltd, Kenneth Roberts and Surjeet Roberts (Vendors) entered into a Deed (Deed) with Stanfield Funds Management Pty Ltd (Stanfield) and Darren Olney-Fraser with a view to enabling it to keep CBA from proceeding with its actions.

The Deed dated 12 September 2009 and Deed of Variation dated 30 October 2009

The following are the relevant terms of the Deed as varied by the Deed of Variation:

Sale of Vendors' shares to Stanfield

Subject to the fulfillment of the Conditions in the Deed, the Vendors will sell to Stanfield 93,986,157 shares (being all of the remaining shares owned by the Vendors and which amount to 41.74% of the issued capital of the Company) for the sum of \$550,000.

The Conditions precedent to the sale of the 41.74% holding in the Company (being 93,986,157 shares) are:

  • If members approve the resolutions at this meeting this will meet the requirements of the Corporations Act, ASIC and ASX;
  • No external administrator, liquidator or receiver and manager has been appointed to the Company and it is not expected that this will occur before the rest of the Conditions are satisfied.

Stanfield's plans for the future of the Company

Stanfield proposes that shareholders agree to change Celtex's name to adopt the company name, Stanfield Funds Management Limited, to more closely identify with its proposed principal shareholder and to signal proposed new directions for the company which will be led by Darren Olney-Fraser and his Stanfield colleagues.

Stanfield's vision is for Celtex to grow significantly over the next 3 years, and to take advantage of the current market conditions to create value for shareholders.

The current principal business interests of Celtex are property development and education, and Celtex has had an interest in the biotech sector. Stanfield intends to grow these business interests and develop new business interests.

Stanfield's main undertaking is property –its development, ownership and management. There are many opportunities to buy assets and existing businesses in the property sector at substantial discounts to values of the last few years. Celtex can make a number of strategic acquisitions at the current time and grow a stronger asset base, so that profits can be generated and share price growth can occur.

Stanfield's most significant business interest is Australian Public Trustees Limited. Stanfield is a major shareholder of Australian Public Trustees and provides key management services to the company and its investment trusts. Australian Public Trustees holds a financial services licence to act as a responsible entity for the Government Property Trust and the APT Health & Aged Care Trust. These trusts hold a portfolio of 9 government-leased properties (\$130,000,000) and 3 private hospitals. Stanfield also has other investments including a fleet of 82 public transport buses (\$25,000,000) and a fleet of 8 school portables (\$2,000,000).

If the resolutions are passed the new board will consider and identify which assets of Stansfield it proposes be sold to Celtex. Any such proposal will need to be put to shareholders of Celtex with full documentation and an independent expert's report specific to any such proposal. The proposal will also need to be discussed with ASX which may require compliance with Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of the listing rules including a possible future capital raising.

Once the board has come to a view in this regard discussions will take place with ASX and shareholders will be provided with full information to enable them to make a decision on any such proposal..

Stanfield's intentions regarding Celtex's current investments are:

  • (a) Tasmanian Land: Stanfield currently believes that it may be in the best interests of shareholders that the Tasmanian Land be sold. Sale proceeds can be applied to debt reduction, which is a priority for Celtex. No firm decision has been made in this regard and as stated above as soon as the board has formed a view the matter will be put to shareholders.
  • (b) Ausmusic: The Ausmusic business has a future and Stanfield will continue to support it. Stanfield believes that Ausmusic revenues can improve substantially with a good start to the 2010 school year. Once Ausmusic has achieved some revenue growth, it can contribute to profits in a growing Celtex or it can be sold for better value. Stanfield does not believe it is in the best interests of shareholders to close Ausmusic or sell it

off quickly. Stanfield would prefer to build it up and either retain the business or sell it when the time is right.

Stanfield has a sound track record in business over the last 37 years. The company was founded by Peter Olney in 1972 as a building construction and development business in the South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

Darren Olney-Fraser and Adrian Olney, Peter Olney's two sons, took over the family business interests in 2002. Since then, Darren and Adrian have substantially grown Stanfield's business interests to hold over \$200,000,000 in assets primarily in government-leased property, significantly broadening the family's property business.

Darren and Adrian have complementary skills. Darren is a former corporate lawyer, and he is responsible for the legal, financial and corporate governance aspects of the business. Adrian is a former civil engineer and he is responsible for the property management and development aspects of the business.

Darren is already a member of Celtex's board and Adrian will join the Celtex board, should shareholders approve his appointment.

It is proposed by Stanfield that Chris Eldridge also join the Celtex Board as an independent director. Chris has a stockbroking background, and his skills will be important to assist Celtex with its capital raising needs. Chris does not have any current or previous business relationship with Celtex or Stanfield.

Stanfield can help Celtex rebuild a business, establish a new brand, make investments where value growth can be achieved, generate cashflow, and add value to shareholders and profits.

Voting Power

The Table in Annexure "A" sets out the Maximum Increase in the Voting Power and the Maximum Voting Power of Stanfield if the resolutions are passed and some or all of the Convertible Notes or Convertible Securities are converted into voting shares

Consequence of Failure of resolutions

If the resolutions are not passed by the members, the Conditions attaching to the Deed will not be satisfied and Stanfield will not subscribe for the Second Convertible Note. In that event the Company will be unable to pay the debt due to CBA and it is most likely that the Company will be wound up and a liquidator appointed.

In all of the circumstances your directors consider that it is in the best interests of all of the members that the Deed be completed and accordingly non-associated members are urged to vote in favour of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 and all members are urged to vote in favour of Resolutions 4, 5 and 6, if Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 are passed by nonassociated members

Dear Directors

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction and Background

Celtex Limited ("Celtex" or "the Company") is a listed company trading on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX").

Celtex is engaged in the development production and distribution of educational and digital media. A subsidiary entity of the Company, Bridgepark Holdings Pty Ltd ("Bridgepark") holds a 300 acre development site in Western Creek, Tasmania.

The Company has incurred significant financial losses over the last few years and, as a result, has breached its bank covenants. In July 2009, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia ("the Commonwealth Bank" or "the Bank") sent Celtex and its subsidiary Ausmusic Ltd, statutory demands for payment of outstanding debts. In addition to this, the Commonwealth Bank lodged a summons in the Supreme Court of Tasmania, for Celtex to show cause as to why the court should not order possession of the land at Lot 1 and 2 Western Creek Road, Western Creek, Tasmania ("the Tasmanian Land") to the Bank, if full payment of the amount owing under the mortgage of the Tasmanian Land was not received by the 3rd of September, 2009.

The Company sought and was granted by the Commonwealth Bank 60 days from 2 September 2009 in which to secure funds to pay out in excess of \$1.391 million in Bank debt.

On 12 September 2009, Celtex entered into a Deed ("the Deed") with Stanfield Funds Management Pty Ltd ("Stanfield") and Darren Olney-Fraser and a number of Celtex's major shareholders ("the Vendors"), with a view to enabling it to be in a position to pay out the Commonwealth Bank within the 60 day deadline. The Deed was amended on 30 October 2009.

Holder of Australian Financial Services Licence No. 234500

Grant Thornton Australia Limited is a member firm within Grant Thornton International Ltd. Grant Thornton International Ltd and the member firms are not a worldwide partnership. Grant Thornton Australia Limited, together with its subsidiaries and related entities, delivers its services independently in Australia.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards legislation.

The Deed

Under the terms of the Deed and the amendment to the Deed, it was agreed that Stanfield would acquire all the shares in Celtex ("the Shares") owned by the Vendors. The Shares were to be acquired in two tranches, as follows:

  • First Tranche: Stanfield would pay \$200,000 to acquire 45,028,843 shares (being 20% of the issued capital of the Company) on or before 18 September 2009 at a price of approximately 0.44 cents per share. These shares were acquired by Stanfield on 18 September 2009; and
  • Second Tranche: Stanfield would pay \$550,000 for 93,986,157 shares (approximately 0.58 cents per share) within 7 business days of satisfaction of all the Conditions. The Conditions are discussed below.

The Company also agreed to issue two unsecured Convertible Notes. The First Convertible Note for \$50,000 was issued to Stanfield on 14 September 2009. The Second Convertible Note, for up to \$750,000, is to be subscribed by Stanfield and/or its nominees, as required, to meet the Company's working capital needs and reduce bank debt.

The Loans

Stanfield has lent to the Company the sum of \$100,000 pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated 8 October 2009. On the 30 October 2009, Stanfield agreed to lend the Company a further \$100,000 on the same terms and conditions. These two loans are referred to collectively in this report as "the Loans". The Loans are subject to the following terms and conditions:

  • The Loans are repayable on notice from Stanfield on 7 January 2010;
  • Subject to shareholders' approval, the Company will convert the Loans into convertible securities ("the Convertible Securities") within one month of the date of shareholder approval. Pursuant to the Convertible Securities, Stanfield will be entitled either to seek repayment of each loan amount of \$100,000 or elect to have 20 million voting shares in the Company issued to it on 7 January 2010 in lieu of repayment of each \$100,000 loan; and
  • If Stanfield fails to serve either of the notices referred to above, and provided that shareholders have approved the issue of the Convertible Securities, then, subject to the terms of the Convertible Securities, the Company shall issue 20 million voting shares to Stanfield in discharge of each \$100,000 sum owed under the Convertible Securities.

Definition of Proposed Transaction in this Report

For the purposes of this report, the "Proposed Transaction" includes:

  • The sale of 93,986,157 shares by the Vendors to Stanfield pursuant to the Second Tranche;
  • The potential issue of up to 10,000,000 shares to Stanfield and/or its nominees on conversion of the First Convertible Note;
  • The proposed issue of the Second Convertible Note for up to \$750,000 to Stanfield and/or its nominees; and

The potential conversion of the Loans into the Convertible Securities.

The Conditions

The Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including:

  • That the Company is not in administration or liquidation or subject to the appointment of a receiver and manager at any time between the date the Deed was entered into (12 September 2009) and the date that Stanfield pays for the shares to be acquired under the Second Tranche;
  • A release of all personal guarantees given to the Bank by all or any of the Vendors in respect of any obligations of the Company to the Bank;
  • A discharge of any and all mortgages held by the Bank over the real estate located at Lot 2 Mole Creek Road Western Creek;
  • The approval of the Proposed Transaction by a majority of shareholders of the Company at an Extraordinary General Meeting planned for November 2009; and
  • All necessary regulatory approvals being obtained from the Australian Securities Exchange or the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ("ASIC").

Scope

Celtex has engaged Grant Thornton to prepare this Independent Expert Report ("IER") to express an opinion as to whether the following components of the Proposed Transaction are fair and reasonable to the non-associated shareholders of Celtex.

Description Independent Expert Report
Prepared in Relation to
The sale of 93,986,157 shares by the Vendors to Stanfield. Section 611(7) of the Corporations Act 2001
("the Act")
The issue to up to 10,000,000 shares to Stanfield and/or its nominees if
the First Convertible Note is converted to voting shares.

The Second Convertible Note for up to \$750,000 to Stanfield and/or its
nominees.
Section 611(7) of the Act and ASX Listing Rule 10
The potential issue of the Convertible Securities. Section 611(7) of the Act and ASX Listing Rule 10

This report is to be included with the combined Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum to be sent to shareholders of Celtex to consider the merits of the Proposed Transaction.

Grant Thornton is independent of Celtex and has no other involvement with, or interest in, the outcome of the Proposed Transaction.

Approach

In assessing whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the non-associated shareholders of Celtex we have considered whether the potential advantages of the Proposed Transaction to the non-associated shareholders outweigh the potential disadvantages.

Summary

We have assessed the key advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction to the non-associated shareholders to be as follows:

Advantages

The Proposed Transaction is expected to help the Company avoid the very real prospect of being placed into Liquidation in the immediate future.

If the Proposed Transaction is not approved, it is expected that the Commonwealth Bank will proceed with its Statutory Demands for repayment of debt. It is highly unlikely that the Company will be able to source alternative funding to enable it to meet the Commonwealth Bank's demands for payment. Therefore there is a high likelihood that the Company would be placed into liquidation.

As the Company has a substantial deficiency in net assets, it is expected that the liquidation of the Company would provide no return for shareholders.

  • Alternatively, the Proposed Transaction is expected to provide an opportunity for the Company to achieve growth in shareholder value by:
  • Providing the funds immediately required (through the Loan and the terms of the Second Convertible Note) to enable the Company to meet the Company's short term working capital needs and to resolve the Company's current funding issues with the Commonwealth Bank;
  • Improving market credibility through the appointment of a new Board of Directors, as a result of the change in controlling shareholder from Shannon Capital Pty Ltd and Associates to Stanfield; and
  • Through the intention (as documented in the Deed) for the new Board of the Company to negotiate in good faith to acquire business interests of Stanfield and any other third parties on terms to be agreed and subject to necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals being obtained.
  • The price per share being offered to the Vendors under the terms of the Proposed Transaction of 0.58 cents is lower than the recent trading price of the shares, which is approximately 2 to 3 cents per share. However, the shares are highly illiquid and therefore we consider it unlikely that either the Vendors or the non-associated shareholders would be able to realise a value of 2 to 3 cents per share, if they sought to dispose of their shares on market.
  • Ken Roberts and Surjeet Roberts have agreed to forgive \$1,153,952 in debt owed to them by the Company, provided that all the Conditions to the Proposed Transaction are satisfied.

Disadvantages

Under the terms of the Proposed Transaction, the non-associated shareholders are not being given an option to sell their shares at the same time and price as the Vendors.

However, in the event that the Proposed Transaction does not proceed and the Company is wound up, then we would expect the non-associated shareholders to receive nil value for their shares.

Conclusion

After considering all of the above, we have concluded that the advantages of the Proposed Transaction to the non-associated shareholders of Celtex outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore in our opinion, the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the non-associated shareholders of Celtex.

1. Introduction

1.1. Background

Celtex is engaged in the development, production and distribution of educational and digital media. A subsidiary entity of the company, Bridgepark Holdings Pty Ltd ("Bridgepark") holds a 300 acre development site in Western Creek, Tasmania ("the Tasmanian Land"). Bridgepark purchased the Tasmanian Land with the intention of developing the site into a number of tourism related projects. However the development of the land has not commenced due to delays in Tasmanian Government approval for the development.

The Company has incurred significant financial losses over the last few years and, as a result, has breached its bank covenants. In July 2009, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia ("the Commonwealth Bank" or "the Bank") sent Celtex and its subsidiary Ausmusic Ltd, statutory demands for payment of outstanding debts. In addition to this, the Commonwealth Bank lodged a summons in the Supreme Court of Tasmania, for Celtex to show cause as to why the court should not order possession of the land at Lot 1 and 2 Western Creek Road, Western Creek, Tasmania ("the Tasmanian Land") to the Bank, if full payment of the amount owing under the mortgage of the Tasmanian Land was not received by the 3rd of September, 2009.

The Company sought and was granted by the Commonwealth Bank 60 days from 2 September 2009 in which to secure funds to pay out in excess of \$1.391 million in Bank debt.

On 12 September 2009, Celtex entered into a Deed ("the Deed") with Stanfield Funds Management Pty Ltd ("Stanfield") and Darren Olney-Fraser and a number of Celtex's major shareholders ("the Vendors"), with a view to enabling it to be in a position to pay out the Commonwealth Bank within the 60 day deadline. The Deed was amended on 30 October 2009.

1.2. The Deed

The terms of the Deed that we consider relevant to our report are described below.

Sale of Vendor Shares to Stanfield

Under the terms of the Deed, it was agreed that Stanfield would acquire all the shares in Celtex owned by the Vendors in two tranches. The two tranches were as follows:

First Tranche: Stanfield would pay \$200,000 to acquire 45,028,843 shares (being 20% of the issued capital of the Company) on or before 18 September 2009. These shares were acquired by Stanfield on 18 September 2009.

Second Tranche: Stanfield would pay \$550,000 for 93,986,157 shares (being all of the remaining Shares owned by the Vendors) within 7 business days of satisfaction of all of the Conditions. This equates to a price per share of approximately 0.58 cents per share.

Included in the table below is a list of the Vendors and the number of shares that they held at the Date the Deed was entered into, the number of shares that they hold after the First Tranche and the number of Shares proposed to be held after the Second Tranche, if all the Conditions are satisfied.

Convertible Notes

The Company agreed to issue two unsecured Convertible Notes.

The First Convertible Note was issued to Stanfield on 14 September 2009. This First Convertible Note will pay interest on a monthly basis at an interest rate of 12% per annum. The Convertible Note is redeemable on 14 December 2009 or convertible at that date into 10,000,000 shares in the Company (a 0.5 cent conversion price).

The Second Convertible Note for up to \$750,000 will be subscribed by Stanfield and/or its nominees as required by the Company to meet working capital needs and reduce bank debt. The Second Convertible Note will pay interest at a monthly rate which is 5% above the Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate. The Second Convertible Note is convertible into 75,000,000 shares in the Company (a 0.1 cent conversion price) if Stanfield on or before 12 September 2010:

  • Does not elect to have the amount of the Convertible Note redeemed; or
  • Elects to convert the amount of the Convertible Note to voting shares; or
  • Fails to make an election.

The subscription for the Second Convertible Note is also subject to Conditions. These Conditions are discussed below.

The Company agrees to change its name to a name nominated by Stanfield, with effect from the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Future Acquisitions

It is the intention of all parties to the Deed that the Company will negotiate in good faith to acquire business interests of Stanfield and any other third parties on terms to be agreed and subject to due diligence, an Independent Expert's Report, and any required shareholder and regulatory approvals.

The Conditions

The Conditions that still must be satisfied prior to the sale of shares under the Second Tranche and the issue of the Second Convertible Note are as follows:

  • That the Company is not in administration or liquidation or subject to the appointment of a receiver and manager at any time between the date the Deed was entered into (12 September 2009) and the date that Stanfield pays for the shares to be acquired under the Second Tranche;
  • A release of all personal guarantees given to the Bank by all or any of the Vendors in respect of any obligations of the Company to the Bank;
  • A discharge of any and all mortgages held by the Bank over the real estate located at Lot 2 Mole Creek Road Western Creek;
  • The approval of the Proposed Transaction by a majority of shareholders of the Company at an Extraordinary General Meeting planned for November 2009; and
  • All necessary regulatory approvals being obtained from the Australian Securities Exchange or the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ("ASIC").

1.3. The Loans

Stanfield has lent to the Company the sum of \$100,000 pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated 8 October 2009. On the 30 October 2009, Stanfield agreed to lend the Company a further \$100,000 on the same terms and conditions. These two loans are referred to collectively in this report as the Loans. The Loans are subject to the following terms and conditions:

  • The Loans are repayable on notice from Stanfield on 7 January 2010;
  • Subject to shareholders' approval, the Company will convert the Loans into convertible securities ("the Convertible Securities") within one month of the date of shareholder approval. Pursuant to the Convertible Securities, Stanfield will be entitled either to seek repayment of each loan amount of \$100,000 or elect to have 20 million voting shares in the Company issued to it on 7 January 2010 in lieu of repayment of each \$100,000 loan; and

If Stanfield fails to serve either of the notices referred to above, and provided that shareholders have approved the issue of the Convertible Securities, then, subject to the terms of the Convertible Securities, the Company shall issue 20 million voting shares to Stanfield in discharge of each \$100,000 sum owed under the Convertible Securities.

1.4. The Proposed Transaction

For the purposes of this report, the "Proposed Transaction" includes:

  • The potential issue of up to 10,000,000 shares to Stanfield and/or its nominees on conversion of the First Convertible Note;
  • The sale of 93,986,157 shares by the Vendors to Stanfield pursuant to the Second Tranche;
  • The proposed issue of the Second Convertible Note for up to \$750,000 to Stanfield and/or its nominees; and
  • The potential conversion of the Loans into Convertible Securities.

1.5. Purpose of Our Report

Celtex has engaged Grant Thornton to prepare this Independent Expert Report ("IER") to express an opinion as to whether the following components of the Proposed Transaction are fair and reasonable to the non-associated shareholders of Celtex.

Description Independent Expert Report
Prepared in Relation to
The sale of 93,986,157 shares by the Vendors to Stanfield. Section 611(7) of the Corporations Act 2001
("the Act")
The issue to up to 10,000,000 shares to Stanfield and/or its nominees if
the First Convertible Note is converted to voting shares.
Section 611(7) of the Act
The Second Convertible Note for up to \$750,000 to Stanfield and/or its
nominees.
Section 611(7) of the Act and ASX Listing Rule 10
The potential issue of the Convertible Securities. Section 611(7) of the Act and ASX Listing Rule 10

Section 611

Section 606 of the Act does not allow a person to acquire more than 20% of Celtex's voting shares unless an exception in Section 611 applies.

Stanfield has already acquired a 20% interest in Celtex as a result of the sale of shares under the First Tranche, in accordance with the Deed. Therefore, if the Proposed Transaction is entered into Stanfield would exceed the 20% limit imposed by Section 606 because:

  • Stanfield will acquire a further 93,986,157 shares in Celtex pursuant to the Second Tranche;
  • Stanfield is the holder of the First Convertible Note for \$50,0000, which if not redeemed may be converted into 10,000,000 shares in the Company;

  • There is potential for Stanfield to acquire a further 75,000,000 shares if Stanfield elects to convert all or part of the Second Convertible Note to voting shares; and

  • There is potential for Stanfield to acquire a further 40,000,000 shares if the conversion rights under the Convertible Securities are exercised.

Section 611(7) provides an exemption to Section 606 if the greater than 20% interest is approved by an ordinary resolution at a general meeting of Celtex shareholders.

Regulatory Guide 74 ("RG74") issued by ASIC specifically deals with shareholders agreeing to the acquisition of shares in accordance with Section 611(7). RG74 recognises that shareholders in a company may choose to give up the rights to participate equally in the benefits accruing to other shareholders where the acquisition or allotment of shares may change control of the company. RG74 requires that shareholders voting on a Section 611(7) resolution must be provided with sufficient information to assess the merits of the proposal, including a report prepared by either independent directors or an independent expert, stating whether the proposed transaction is fair and reasonable as far as the non-associated shareholders of the company are concerned.

The directors of Celtex have engaged Grant Thornton to assist them in fulfilling this requirement.

ASX Listing Rule 10

Shareholder approval of the Proposed Transaction is also required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11, which states that an equity security cannot be issued to a person of influence of the listed entity unless one of the exceptions in Chapter 10 of the ASX listing rules applies.

The issue of the Second Convertible Note and the potential issue of the Convertible Securities meet the definition of an "equity security" as defined in the ASX listing rules. The relevant exception to Rule 10.11 is the approval of non-associated members.

The Proposed Transaction requires approval under Listing Rule 10.11 because Stanfield is a person of influence because it is a:

  • A related party and associate of Darren Olney-Fraser who has recently been appointed a Director of the Company;
  • A substantial shareholder as it holds at least 10% of the voting shares in the Company.

1.6. Basis of Evaluation

The Act does not provide a definition as to the meaning of fair and reasonable. ASIC's Regulatory Guide 111 provides guidelines, for the purpose of reports under Section 640 of the Act relating to takeover offers, in determining whether a transaction is fair and reasonable. Fairness relates to price whereas reasonableness will include the consideration of factors other than price.

Generally, a transaction will be fair and reasonable to the non-associated shareholders where the benefits of the transaction proceeding outweigh the disadvantages.

1.7. Limitations and Reliance on Information

This report should be read in conjunction with the declarations outlined in Section 4.

FY09 Financials

In relation to the financial performance of Celtex Limited, we note the following:

  • Celtex Ltd has made losses for the past three financial years. Its net loss after tax increased from \$0.1 million in FY2007 to \$1.4 million in FY2008 and \$1.6m in FY2009.
  • We understand that the losses are primarily the result of the substantial costs occurred in trying to obtain Tasmanian Government approval of the design application for the Tasmanian Land. The overhead costs associated with operating as a listed company also contributed to the losses. Furthermore, in FY2009 Celtex fully wrote down the value of its intangible assets.

2.2. Financial Position

The consolidated financial position of Celtex Limited as at 30 June 2007, 30 June 2008 and 30 June 2009 is shown in the table below:

* The intangible asset balance in 2007 was overstated. Refer to discussion below.

We make the following comments:

  • As at 30 June 2009, Celtex's has reported a net asset deficiency of approximately \$1.1 million;
  • The property, plant and equipment ("PPE") includes the Tasmanian Land, which has a book value of \$1.25 million at 30 June 2009. The remaining PPE consists of construction in progress, plant and equipment, furniture and fittings and motor vehicles;
  • We note that the draft annual report for FY2009 includes at least \$720,000 of debt owed to the Commonwealth Bank as a non-current liability. As this debt is currently due and payable, this debt should be reclassified and shown as a current liability;
  • The Company has a significant going concern risk. This risk was highlighted in an emphasis of matter paragraph in the audit opinion attached to the Company's financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2008 and is also highlighted in the Company's half year report for the 6 month period ended 31 December 2008; and

It should be noted that the 30 June 2008 balance sheet as disclosed above has been adjusted to reflect an error in the 2008 financial statements. These financial statements overstated goodwill and issued capital by an amount of approximately \$4.652 million because an incorrect share price was used in accounting for the Bridgepark property acquisition in 2004. It should be noted that the 2007 comparatives included in the table above have not been adjusted for this error.

2.3. Share Capital

At the date of this report, top five shareholders in the Company hold 61.74% of shares. These shareholders, together with their respective shareholdings, are listed in the table below.

The market capitalisation of Celtex as at 29 October 2009 was \$4.05 million which is substantially higher than the Company's net asset value at 30 June 2009.

However, as shown in the following table, the Company's shares are highly illiquid with less than 1% of the Company's shares having been traded in the 11 months to 31 August 2009.

3. Our Assessment of the Proposed Transaction

3.1. Approach

In assessing whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the non-associated shareholders of Celtex we have considered whether the potential advantages of the Proposed Transaction to the non-associated shareholders outweigh the potential disadvantages.

3.2. Summary

We have assessed the key advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction to the non-associated shareholders to be as follows:

Advantages

The Proposed Transaction is expected to help the Company avoid the very real prospect of being placed into Liquidation in the immediate future.

If the Proposed Transaction is not approved, it is expected that the Commonwealth Bank will proceed with its Statutory Demands for repayment of debt. It is highly unlikely that the Company will be able to source alternative funding to enable it to meet the Commonwealth Bank's demands for payment. Therefore there is a high likelihood that the Company would be placed into liquidation.

As the Company has a substantial deficiency in net assets, it is expected that the liquidation of the Company would provide no return for shareholders.

  • Alternatively, the Proposed Transaction is expected to provide an opportunity for the Company to achieve growth in shareholder value by:
  • Providing the funds immediately required (through the Loan and the terms of the Second Convertible Note) to enable the Company to meet the Company's short term working capital needs and to resolve the Company's current funding issues with the Commonwealth Bank;
  • Improving market credibility through the appointment of a new Board of Directors, as a result of the change in controlling shareholder from Shannon Capital Pty Ltd and Associates to Stanfield; and

  • Through the intention (as documented in the Deed) for the new Board of the Company to negotiate in good faith to acquire business interests of Stanfield and any other Third parties on terms to be agreed and subject to necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals being obtained.

  • The price per share being offered to the Vendors under the terms of the Proposed Transaction of 0.58 cents is lower than the recent trading price of the shares, which is approximately 2 to 3 cents per share. However, the shares are highly illiquid and therefore we consider it unlikely that either the Vendors or the non-associated shareholders would be able to realise a value of 2 to 3 cents per shares, if they sought to dispose of their shares on market.
  • Ken Roberts and Surjeet Roberts have agreed to forgive \$1,153,952 in debt owed to them by the Company, provided that all the Conditions to the Proposed Transaction are satisfied.

Disadvantages

Under the terms of the Proposed Transaction, the non-associated shareholders are not being given an option to sell their shares at the same time and price as the Vendors.

However, in the event that the Proposed Transaction does not proceed and the Company is wound up, then we would expect the non-associated shareholders to receive nil value for their shares.

3.3. Conclusion

After considering all of the above, we have concluded that the advantages of the Proposed Transaction to the non-associated shareholders of Celtex outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore in our opinion, the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the nonassociated shareholders of Celtex.
