4. THE INVESTMENT & INVESTMENT MANAGER
4.3 INVESTMENT PROCESS:
The Company's Portfolio will be made up of three sub portfolios. The following process has been applied in constructing the published sub portfolios, Blue Chip, Growth and Special Situations and will continue to be applied in the composition of the Portfolio.
The sub portfolios will be blended with consideration given to the appropriate balance between large and small entities as well as diversification by industry sectors and van Eyk Research's company 'classifications'.
The van Eyk Research share selection process ranks key financial variables and valuation assessments for each of the ASX 300 constituent entities. This is a six-stage process.
- i) Quality Assessment
- ii) Classification
- iii) Valuation
- iv) Rankings
- v) Portfolio Construction
- vi) Blending
- I. QUALITY ASSESSMENT
First, van Eyk Research evaluates the following quality measurements for each entity. Each individual score is ranked against the entire universe of stocks to facilitate comparisons.
Growth - van Eyk Research calculate the compound average arowth rates of:
- Sales Revenue.
- Book Value.
- Dividends.
- Earnings.
- * Security Price.
Stability of each of the above items over time -a measurement of the variability of each of the growth measures.
Financial Condition of each entity is also measured by reference to:
* Gearing or debt/equity ratios.
- Interest cover or the ability to pay interest on their debt.
- Cash flow ratio or the ability to convert accounting profits into cash.
- * Quick ratio the "acid test" used to determine the adequacy of cash (and equivalents) to pay all current liabilities - a measure of liquidity.
- $\,$ Working Investment Ratio an indication of how well a $\,$ company is managing its non-cash liquid net assets.
Competitive Advantage, in particular:
- * Return on capital employed a high figure is indicative of dominance or an established position.
- * Profit margins an indication of competitive strength.
- * Asset turnover is a measure of efficiency.
Outlook for each entity is based on an appraisal of statements from the entity and also earnings forecasts collected from leading specialist investment analysts (a consensus of analysts' view).
II. CLASSIFICATION
van Eyk Research classifies each stock in one of six general categories, based on the quality assessment scores. The classification process takes into account the ability of an entity to sustain future growth and other quality score considerations that could indicate the nature of any future arowth. The categories are as follows:
| GROWTH | Dynamic | fast growth |
|---|---|---|
| Stalwarts | moderate growth | |
| VALUE | Slugs | slow growth |
| Cyclical | bounces | |
| Turnaround | hope for recovery | |
| Asset Situation | fire sale value |
Dynamic Growth: These entities have an expectation of producing strong growth, sustainable for quite a few years. Some fast growing entities can be quite risky and the market will punish non-performing growth stocks. Entities with poor competitive advantage or financial condition are often unable to sustain strong growth, so our classification criteria include a satisfactory financial condition, and competitive advantage, along with a promising growth outlook.

MANAGER 4. THE INVESTMENT INVESTMENT $\mathbf{g}$
Stalwarts: These are entities that are not as dynamic as maybe they once were - or do not have sufficient quality or crowth outlook to gain the Dynamic Growth status - but still capable of respectable growth at say twice the level of the economy at large. Many stalwarts can be quite defensive in nature and therefore should provide the core of a lower risk equity portfolio.
Slugs: Entities have a life-cycle and usually slugs are large entities well past middle age that struggle even to keep up with the general growth of the economy. Once upon a time today's slugs may well have been fast growing but demand for their products slowed, management deteriorated or competition intensified.
High yielding stocks are often found in this classification because the best use of their profits may be to pay generous dividends rather than reinvest in moribund activities.
Cyclicals: These are entities that move directly with the business cycle, generally they advance as business conditions improve and decline when business slackens. Mining companies are typically cyclical, along with developers, contractors and basic materials producers.
Turnarounds: These are entities that may have difficulties. There is the potential to recover but also the possibility of insolvency. It is possible to obtain great rewards from this area of the market but the risks are also the greatest. Stocks in this classification may suit more aggressive investors or those with a contrarian bent. Because this type of stock often 'does its own thing' regardless of the general market direction, they can provide very good diversification characteristics within a portfolio.
Asset Situations: These are stocks for which the share price is below or does not adequately account for the value of the entities' assets. This sort of entity may be in trouble, but may also be nealected or unloved by the market. Sometimes there might be an undervalued property interest or a share holding in another quoted entity whose price has risen, a valuable patent or an increase in the value of mining or oil reserves. These stocks are the opposite end of the spectrum to Dynamic Growth entities and are selected by the ultimate value measure - Price to Book Value.
III. VALUATION
The application of an appropriate valuation methodology is dictated by the classification of the stock. Rather the reinventing the wheet, van Eyk Research uses well established valuation methodologies.
In particular, 'Growth' classifications are valued using a combination of the following criteria:-
1. Intrinsic Value
This is an 'earnings' related measurement taking into account:
- An entity's earnings per share.
- The expected earnings growth rate; and $\bullet$
- The 10-year bond yield. $\bullet$
2. Discounted Free Cash Flow:
First, van Eyk Research apply two additional quality filters:
- van Eyk Research seeks to exclude entities that have an ongoing requirement for high capital expenditure.
- van Eyk Research also seeks to exclude entities that have not demonstrated an ability to add shareholder value. In particular the reinvestment of retained earnings should have produced high rates of return.
Thereafter the future stream of free cash flow (essentially the profits available when allowance is made for all expenditures that are required for the entity to stay in business) is then projected forward and discounted back to a present value.
3. PEG ratio
This simple ratio is calculated by dividing the prospective P/E ratio of a share by the estimated future (1 year) growth rate in earnings per share.
4. PS ratio in conjunction with Relative Strength:
This basic ratio has been shown to produce very consistent outcomes over many decades and when combined with positive relative price performance has shown a remarkable record of success.
Firee Pillers
HUNDAY
- THE INVESTMENT & INVESTMENT MANAGER
The 'Value' classifications are valued using a combination of the following criteria:
1. Net, Net Asset Value:
The share price is compared with an entity's net current assets after deduction of long term debt. When the share price is low in relation to Current Assets - Current Liabilities - Long-Term debt there is an implication that the fixed assets of the entity are available at bargain levels. This is a 'deep-value methodology.'
2. Basic Static Ratios
These refer to the common P/E ratio and Dividend Yield in conjunction with 12 month's relative price performance versus the market.
3. Basic Asset and Revenue Ratios:
These ratios are the Price to Book Value and Price to Sales measurements in combination, this time, with 3 months relative price performance versus the market.
IV. RANKINGS
All stocks are continuously ranked on quality and valuation providing a dynamic distribution which has an equal number of buys and sells.
V. PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION
The selection criteria for each individual portfolio are as follows:
Blue Chip - This sub portfolio is taken from the Top 100 stocks by market capitalisation, using the rankings from van Eyk Research Free Cash Flow, valuation methodoloav. The aim is to select a diversified 12 stock portfolio of quality companies at a reasonable price. The 'Blue Chip' is the most conservative of the three sub portfolios, and aims for low turnover.
Growth - The Growth sub portfolio selection is taken from the van Eyk Research 'Dynamic Growth' and 'Stalwart' classifications, which are at the high end of van Eyk Research quality scale. The aim is to select a 12 stock portfolio of quality growth companies at bargain prices, whilst maintaining reasonable diversification across sectors.
Special Situations - The Special Situations portfolio is a selection of 12 undervalued stocks, which may have the potential for market re-rating, furnaround or takeover. The selection is taken from the lower end of the quality scale. The selection has a contrarian flavour. The portfolio is selected from the van Eyk Research Slug, Cyclical, Turnaround and Asset Situation classifications. By its very nature this selection will be the most adventurous of the three sub portfolios.
Funds shall be blended across the three sub portfolio stock lists in accordance with the following guidelines:
| PORTFOLIO NAME | PERMITTED % OF |
|---|---|
| PORTFOLIO VALUE | |
| Blue Chip | $0\% - 60\%$ |
| Growth | $0\% - 60\%$ |
| Special Situations | $0\% - 60\%$ |
VI. BLENDING
The blending of the sub portfolios may not be in equal proportions. van Eyk will weight the sub portfolios depending on the relative merit of each of the sectors of the Sharemarket ie value, growth, large and small capitalisation.
It is anticipated that initially each sub portfolio will receive an eaual weiahtina.
4.4 AUTHORISED INVESTMENTS
Investment shall be across the three sub portfolios and within the ASX 300. The weighting given to shares held within each of the three portfolios is at the discretion of the Investment Manager. All decisions in relation to the investments shall be made in accordance with the investment methodoloay detailed in Section 4.3.
The Investment Manager's intention will be to remain over 95% invested in equities at all times. It is anticipated that this level of investment will be achieved within 30 days from the issue of Shares under this Prospectus.

4. THE INVESTMENT & INVESTMENT MANAGER
4.5 INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
It is not envisaged that the Company will invest in either derivatives or foreign corrency shares. Nor is it intended that the Investment Manager will engage in short selling or undertake borrowing to fund investments.
4.6 RISK FACTORS
This Prospectus and its investment offering does not take into account the personal circumstances, financial position or investment requirements of any one person in particular. As such it is imperative that before making any investment decisions, consideration is given (with the assistance of a broker or other financial services licensee) to its suitability or otherwise in light of your particular investment needs, objectives and financial circumstances. There are risks associated with any investment on the stock market. These risks may include:
- * The market value of shares and other investments purchased by the Company can fall as well as rise. Share markets can be volatile.
- * Past performance of the sub portfolios constructed by the Investment Manager, published on its website, should not necessarily be seen as being indicative of future performance of the sub portfolios or the Portfolio.
- The performance of the Company is dependent on the expertise and investment decisions of the Investment Manager.
- * The Investment Manager has no experience in managing funds on behalf of a LIC
- * There are many economic factors that can affect the value of share investments. Such factors may include inflation, interest rates, levels of employment and consumer demand both within Australia and overseas.
- $\,$ Share prices are dependent upon the financial position of each particular company in which shares are purchased. Factors affecting the companies' financial position will include profitability, earnings and cash flow.
-
Companies in which shares have been purchased may become insolvent or place themselves in administration.
-
Numerous factors can affect the return on a share investment. Such factors may include the quality of the company's management, the general health of the sector(s) in which the Company invests and government policy.
- * The investment returns may differ from investment industry benchmarks.
- * Foreign currency fluctuations may affect the value of investments.
- * It may be argued that the inclusion of a performance fee may encourage the Investment Manager to act in a manner which adds to the risk and volatility associated with the investment.
- * The success and profitability of the Company in part will depend upon the ability of the Investment Manager to invest in well-managed companies which have the ability to increase in value over time.
- The future earnings of the Company and the value of the investments of the Company may be affected by the general economic climate, commodity prices, currency movements, changing government policy and other factors beyond the control of the Company. As a result, no guarantee can be given in respect of the future earnings of the Company or the earnings and capital appreciation of the Company's investments.
- Variations in legislation and government policies generally could materially affect operating results of the Company.
- * Any variation in the taxation laws of Australia could materially affect the operating results of the Company.
- * The price of investments that the Company has purchased can fall as well as rise.
- * The price at which Shares are traded on ASX may be below the net asset backing of those Shares. The Constitution of the Company does not entitle Shareholders to require the Board to implement a share buy-back or any other capital reconstruction or to take any other remedial action.

INVESTMENT & INVESTMENT MANAGER THE 4.
- Operational costs for the Company as a proportion of total assets will be affected by the level of total assets of the Company and by the level of acceptance of this Offer. Operational costs will represent a greater proportion of total assets and may reduce the operating results of the Company and accordingly the ability to make dividend payments, if the Company only achieves the minimum subscription under this Offer than if it secures a greater level of acceptance.
- Investors are strongly advised to regard any investment in the Company as a long term proposition and to be aware that, as with any equity investment, substantial fluctuations in the value of their investment may occur.
This list is not exhaustive and potential investors should read this Prospectus in full and, if they require further information on material risks, seek professional advice.
4.7 GENERAL RISK FACTORS
Other risks associated with investment in the Company may include:
- * Management of the investments will be dependent upon the Investment Manager maintaining its licence under the FSR provisions.
- * Continued investment will be dependent on the Investment Manager remaining in operation and continuing to develop the share portfolios or other similar offerings.
- * Accounting Standards may change which may necessitate a change in accounting policies in use by the Company.
- * Continued operations will be dependent upon the performance and efforts of key personnel. No guarantees are available that the Company or van Eyk Research will retain such key personnel.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE 7.
7.1 INTRODUCTION
van Eyk Research has applied its proprietary investment methodology to develop model portfolios. These portfolios have been developed in light of then current market conditions to take account of general investment objectives and risk profiles set for the relevant portfolios. Model portfolios described as the Blue Chip Portfolio, Special Situation Portfolio, Growth Portfolio and Income Portfolio have been published on their subscriber website http://irate.vaneyk.com.au since 13 July 2001.
van Eyk Research proposes to manage the Portfolio using the parameters and investment objectives and risk profiles set for the Blue Chip, Growth and Special Situations sub portfolios with blending of the component sub portfolios. See Section 4.3 for details.
7.2 QUALIFICATIONS TO HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DATA
The performance data set out below is intended to provide an indication of the historical performance of the model Blue Chip, Growth and Special Situations sub portfolios from 13 July 2001 to 30 September 2003 (Published Period). The data presented in Section 7.3 has been prepared on the basis of the gross returns of the model sub-portfolios. Details as to the net returns i.e. net of costs and taxes are set out in Section 7.4. Key assumptions in preparing the model historical data included in this section are set out in Section 7.5.
The historical performance data outlined in this Section 7 reflects the performance of the model sub portfolios rather than the actual performance of funds managed or invested by van Evk Research during the Published Period. Until July 2003 van Eyk Research only provided model portfolios rather than managing funds for third parties or invested its own funds on the basis of sub portfolios.
The performance returns modelled below for each of the sub portfolios were compiled on the basis of prices nominated at the time of notional trades published on the iRate and van Eyk Research websites during the Published Period. The prices were within the range of prices at which the relevant stocks traded on-market on the nominated days.
As no actual trades were undertaken by van Eyk Research, there can be no certainty that van Eyk Research would have been able to achieve the notional prices recorded or that the model sub portfolio trades would have been effected on the nominated days.
However, van Eyk Research considers that the stock diversity of the model sub portfolios and the liquidity of the major portion of the sub portfolio stocks was sufficient to ensure that any impact of limited liquidity would not have had a material impact on the historic performance of the model sub portfolios.
While the investment strategy adopted by van Eyk Research in constructing the model sub Portfolios to date, is similar to that proposed for the Company, there can be no guarantee that any similarity will continue or that the performance of the Company will be similar to the historic performance of the van Eyk Research model portfolios during the Published Period.
Accordingly, the past 'performance' of the van Eyk Research model sub portfolios should not be seen as being indicative as to the future performance of the Company.
Future performance of the Company will be dependent on many factors, including economic factors, the expertise of van Eyk Research in asset allocation between the sub portfolios, the expertise and investment decisions of van Eyk Research and the financial performance of the companies in the sub portfolios. See Sections 4.6 and 4.7 for details.
Where appropriate, comparison has been made with the S&P ASX 300 Accumulation Index. This index is compiled on the assumption that all dividends and distributions (both capital and income) are reinvested. The relevant published model sub portfolios assume no reinvestment of dividends or distributions. For an understanding of this and other assumptions used in compiling the following data, refer to Section 7.5.

7. HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE
7.3 MODEL PERFORMANCE DATA PRESENTED ON A GROSS BASIS
In this Section 7, 'performance' and 'return' is the aggregate value of the relevant sub portfolio at the end of each quarter calculated by reference to the lowest price of the component stocks on the last trading day on ASX of the relevant quarter and cash held in the sub portfolio at that time. See Section 7.5 for details.
The performance table set out below compares the performance of each of the three model sub portfolios against changes in the S&P ASX 300 Accumulation Index over the Published Period.

| Growth | 4.20% |
| Special Situations | 5.41% |
Equal weighting of model sub portfolios compared to S&P ASX 300 Accumulation Index
The following table and graph illustrates the initial investment strategy proposed to be adopted by van Eyk Research in establishing and managing the Portfolio with an even weighting between the three component sub portfolios.

Dividend yields on this model portfolio for the 12 months to June 2003 on the basis of an equal weighting for each of the sub portfolios was 5.04%
Unequal weighting of model sub portfolios compared to S&P ASX 300 Accumulation Index
As indicated in Section 4.3, the maximum weighting that may be allocated to any single component sub portfolio is 60% of the total value of the Portfolio. The following tables and graph illustrate a model portfolio if it had been in existence throughout the Published Period and the following weighting of each of the component sub portfolios had been applied:
Sensitivity - Blue Chip - Blue Chip 50%, Growth 25%, Special Situation 25%.
Sensitivity - Growth - Blue Chip 25%, Growth 50%, Special Situation 25%.

7.4 MODEL PERFORMANCE DATA PRESENTED ON A NET BASIS
All investments included in the model sub portfolios were included in the S&P ASX-300 Accumulation Index at all times while included in the model sub portfolios. The Company considers that the appropriate benchmark for comparison by investors is the S&P ASX 300 Accumulation Index. This index is also the benchmark for determination of the performance fee for van Eyk Research.
The S&P ASX 300 Accumulation Index reflects the performance of listed Securities included in the index without reagrd to tax. acquisition, holding or disposal costs. The Company considers that it is appropriate to compare the performance of the model sub portfolios on a gross basis ie without deducting tax, acquisition, holding and disposal costs.
However, the following tables and graph reflects the performance of each of the model sub-portfolios net of estimated taxes and costs. The table headed "Equal Weighted Accumulation" assumes an equal weighting of the Blue Chip, Growth and Value model sub portfolios throughout the Published Period.
'Performance' and 'return' is calculated on the same basis as for Section 7.3.

7. HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE
7.5 KEY ASSUMPTIONS
The tables and graphs for the model historical performance of the sub-portfolios on a gross basis set out in Section 7.3 have heen propored on the basis of the following key assumptions.
-
- The relevant weighting of the component sub portfolios (if any) is as specified for the relevant table or graph.
-
- Completion of a trade of all relevant securities dictated by changes in the model sub portfolio on the same trading day as that nominated in the published sub portfolio.
-
- Completion of a trade of all relevant securities dictated by changes in the model sub portfolio at a nominated price (being the price at the time of modelled trading) on the trading day on which the changes in the sub portfolio were published on the van Eyk Research website.
-
- Participation in all rights issues undertaken during the Published Period.
-
- Receipt of all bonus issues made by investees included in the sub portfolio during the Published Period.
-
- No reinvestment of dividends or distributions paid by the entities has been included in the sub portfolios during the Published Period, nor has interest been accrued on dividends and distributions received.
The tables and graphs for the model historical performance of the sub portfolios on a net basis set out in Section 7.4 have been prepared on the basis of the key assumptions identified above and the following additional assumptions:
-
- Payment of average brokerage fees of 0.4% on each trade.
-
- Payment of monthly management fees equivalent to 0.9% per annum of the value of the model sub portfolio. This exceeds the management fees the Company must pay van Eyk Research and WFM under the Management Agreements if the value of the Portfolio exceeds \$100 million and is consistent with the fees that must be paid if the value of the Portfolio is less than \$100 million.
-
- Payment of performance fees of 15% calculated on overperformance of the sub portfolio against the S&P ASX 300 Accumulation Index over the 12 month period to 30 June of each year or each part year during the Published Period. This accords with the performance fees that would have been payable had the Investment Manager been managing the relevant sub portfolio during the Published Period under its Management Agreements with the Company.
-
- All dividends paid have been franked to the level of franking of the actual dividends paid.
-
- No costs other than those outlined above have been incurred.
-
- The investor is an Australian resident corporation.
-
- Income tax has been paid at the corporate tax rate of 30%.
- The application of all applicable allowable deductions for the above costs. 8.
-
- No interest income on dividends and distributions received from investments included in the relevant sub portfolios.
SECTE

8.1 MANAGEMENT FEES

A conv of the Company's Constitution can be viewed at the Company's reaistered office during business hours. The major provisions relating to Shares under the Constitution and the Corporations Act are as per the following summary.
Following issue and allotment, all Shares shall be fully paid. As such no liability will exist on the part of shareholders for any calls. All Shares are ranked equally.
VOTING
At a general meeting of the Company, every shareholder present in person, or by proxy, representative or attorney has on a show of hands one vote and on a poll one vote per Share held on which there is no money due and payable and in respect of which a member may vote. On a poll, a partly paid Share confers a fraction of a vote pro rata to the amount paid up on the Share.
GENERAL MEETINGS
Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of, attend and, except in certain circumstances, vote at, general meetings of the Company and receive all notices, financial statements and other documents required to be sent to members under the Company's Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.
DIVIDENDS
Subject to the rights of the holders of Shares issued with any
special or preferential rights, the profits of the Company which the Directors from time to time determine to distribute hy way of dividend are divisible amouast the members in proportion to the Shares held by them and will be paid in proportion to the amounts paid up, or credited as paid up, on those Shares.
ISSUE OF FURTHER SHARES
The Directors may, subject to any restrictions on the allotment of Shares imposed by the Company's Constitution. the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules, issue further Shares on terms and conditions as they see fit.
TRANSFER OF SHARES
Subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, Shares are deemed fully transferable.
WINDING UP
In the event of a winding up of the Company, shareholders shall be entitled to receive, in kind, the whole or any part of the Company's property, subject to the rights of a liquidator of the Company to distribute surplus assets of the Company with the consent of members by special resolution.

10. OPTIONS
Each Share allocated under this Prospectus will entitle the holder to one Option to subscribe for an additional share. Exercise price for each Option shall be \$1.00 and will expire 19 May 2005. An Option may be transferred or transmitted in any manner approved by the Australia Stock Exchange Limited.
The material terms of the Options are as follows:
EXERCISING OPTIONS
In accordance with Section 168 (1)/(b) of the corporations Act, the Company shall maintain a register of Option holders.
Each Option gives the holder the right to subscribe for one Share. An Option may be exercised by the holder on any Business Day between the date of the grant and 19 May 2005. Options cannot be exercised outside of this period.
Holders are to exercise Options by completing a Notice of Exercise of Option form. Once completed, the form, together with the relevant option certificate(s) and payment equivalent to \$1.00 per Option exercised is to be delivered to the Company. Options shall only be considered exercised once the Company has received payment in full via either cash or cleared funds.
DIVIDENDS & BONUS ISSUES
No dividend entitlement is attached to an Option until such time as it has been exercised. Once exercised, shares issued on Options are ranked equally with all other ordinary shares issued by the Company once a qualification period has elapsed. Under the Option plan, the qualification period shall be equivalent to seven (7) Business Days from the date the Options were first exercised. Shares issued on Options shall be eligible for dividends declared on or from this date. An Option holder may only participate in new issues of securities to holders of Shares in the Company if the Option has been exercised and Shares allotted in respect of the Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue. The Company must give at least (7) Business Days notice to Option holders of any new issue before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue in accordance with the Listing Rules.
If between the date of issue and the date of exercise of an Option the Company makes one or more rights issues (being
a pro rata issue of Shares in the capital of the Company that is not a bonus issue), the exercise price of Options on issue will be reduced in respect of each rights issue according to the following formula:
$$
NE = OE - E[P-(S + D)]
$$
$$
(N + 1)
$$
where:
NE is the new exercise price of the Option;
0E is the old exercise price of the Option;
E is the number of underlying Shares into which one Option is exercisable;
- P is the average closing sale price per Share (weighted by reference to volume) recorded on the stock market of the Australian Stock Exchange Limited during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date (excluding special crossings and overnight sales);
- S. is the subscription price for a Share under the rights issue:
- D is the dividend due but not yet paid on each Share at the relevant time; and
- is the number of Shares that must be held to entitle N holders to receive a new Share in the rights issue.
If there is a bonus issue to the Shareholders, the number of Shares over which the Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the Option would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.
CHANGES OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Adiustments to the number of outstanding Options and the exercise price that are the consequence of a reorganisation of the Company's share capital will be made in accordance with the Listing Rules.
ASX LISTING
Options will be quoted on the ASX. The Company must make application to the ASX for quotation of shares issued as a consequence of the exercise of an Option.

Shareholders of the Company shall be given the opportunity to participate in a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the DRP) for both interim and lingt dividends. The NRP will allow shareholders who hold fully paid Shares in the Company to conveniently increase their holdings in the Company by reinvesting all or part of their dividend as additional fully paid Shares.
ELIGIBLE MEMBERS
Participation in the DRP is optional and open to any member except, whose address or place of residence is outside of Australia or in the opinion of the Directors, participation in the DRP is illegal, impossible or impractical.
PARTICIPATION
Eligible members may choose to participate in the DRP in respect of all their shareholding or a specified number of Shares and subject to the terms of the DRP may vary their level of participation in the DRP or terminate their participation in the DRP.
ENTITLEMENT
Participating members will be entitled on each dividend payment date to be allocated Shares for which the cash dividend would be applied to pay for the Shares to be issued under the DRP. Where the calculation of entitlement results in a fraction of a share, that entitlement will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share.
ISSUE PRICE OF SHARES
The weighted average market price referred to above will be calculated by the Board or another suitable person municated by the Board, by reference to information that the Board approves for the purpose from time to time. Such determination will be binding on all participants.
COSTS AND ASX LISTING
No brokerage, commission or stamp duty is payable in respect of Shares issued under the DRP. The Company will promptly apply for quotation on the ASX of Shares issued under the DRP.
RANKING OF SHARES
Shares issued under the DRP rank equally with existing fully paid Shares.
AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION
The DRP may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Board at any time.
TAXATION
The ATO currently treat dividends reinvested under dividend reinvestment plans in the same way as cash dividends. The ATO also currently regards the amount of the dividend as forming part of the cost base of the Shares issued.
The Company takes no responsibility for the taxation liabilities of participants in the DRP and specific taxation advice should be obtained from a suitably qualified adviser. As such, it is recommended that shareholders obtain professional taxation advice.

TAX $13.$
TAXATION IMPACT ON SHAREHOLDERS
The following information provides a general overview of the income fox consequences to investors. It is not intended
to be a detailed analysis of all such issues. Individual investors should consult their own taxation advisor about their specific taxation circumstances. It is based on the relevant taxation laws as presently incorporated in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936, Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 and Income Tax Rates Act 1986 (all of which are referred to collectively herein as "the Act").
The consideration is limited to investors who would be classified as Australian residents for taxation purposes, unless otherwise stated.
Shareholders in a public company are generally taxed on the dividends received and are subject to the Income Tax upon the sale of their interests in the Company.
DIVIDENDS
As the Company is not expected to meet the definition of a "Listed Investment Company" per the Act, the Company is not expected to provide concessionally taxed capital gains to shareholders via Company dividend payments.
Dividends received by a shareholder (either directly or indirectly through a partnership of trust) are included in the taxable income of the shareholder.
To the extent that dividends are franked, then the imputation credits attached to the franked dividend are also included in the taxable income of the shareholder. Shareholders are then entitled to a tax credit equal to the imputation credit received.
Dividends received by a non-resident shareholder will be subject to withholding tax, to the extent the dividend received are unfranked. No withholding tax is paid on franked dividends.
Where residents do not supply their tax file number to the Company, tax will be withheld from any unfranked dividends paid at the rate of 48.5%.
Where shareholders receive franked dividends from the Company, the Shares in the Company need to be held 'at risk' fas defined) for a period of 45 days before being. .
entitled to franking benefits.
'Gains on Disposal of Shares
Where Shares in the Company are acquired on capital account by a shareholder, any gain or loss on sale is taxed in accordance with the Capital Gains Tax ("CGT") rules. Where Shares in the Company are held for more than 12 months, a 50% CGT discount would be available to individual shareholders (33 1/3% discount for superannuation funds).
Any CGT loss incurred is quarantined and only able to be offset against capital gains derived.
Where Shares in the Company are acquired on revenue account by a shareholder, any gain or loss on sale is taxable as ordinary income. No CGT discount would be available.
GAINS ON DISPOSAL OF OPTIONS
Any gain on sale of Options will either give rise to a capital gain (if held on a capital account) or a profit if held as tradina stock.
There will be no cost base of Options issued under this Prospectus as they are being issued for no consideration. There would therefore be no Capital Gains Tax loss on the sale of the Options issued pursuant to the Prospectus.
Any Options acquired after the initial issue will have a cost base equivalent to the acquisition price.
On exercise of the Option, a shareholder will be required to pay \$1.00 to the Company in return for the issue of one Share. There are no tax consequences to the Company for the issue of the Share.
The shareholder who exercises an Option will acquire a Share in the Company at a cost base of \$1.00. The taxation consequences from the disposal of the Share are as outlined above.
