General

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

THIS REPLACEMENT PROSPECTUS (“this Prospectus”) is dated 24 October 2016 and was lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) on that date. This Prospectus replaces a prospectus dated 31 August 2016 (“the Prospectus Date”) relating to shares, milestone shares and options of Davenport Resources Limited (“Davenport” or “the Company”). ASIC and its officers take no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or the merits of the investment to which this Prospectus relates. This replacement prospectus has been issued to provide for the following:

  • Further financial disclosure including audited financial reports of Davenport for the years ended 30 June 2014, 2015 and 2016, audited financial reports of East Exploration Pty Ltd (“East Exploration”) for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015 and East Exploration’s reviewed half year financial report to 30 June 2016, an updated pro forma consolidated statement of financial position, and a replacement investigating accountant’s report;

LETTER FROM THE PROPOSED CHAIRMAN

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [59 x 87] intentionally omitted <==

Dear Investor:

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I invite you to become a shareholder of Davenport Resources Limited (“Davenport” or “the Company”) through this Prospectus.

Davenport aims to be a developer of potash mines, focussed on the South Harz potash field in the province of Thuringia, in Central Germany, which has been the site of potash production for over 100 years.

Potash is the source of potassium, which is one of the three key fertiliser elements, along with nitrogen and phosphorous, that are essential to the productivity of modern agriculture. Without these minerals, agricultural productivity would be much lower and the imperative to feed the growing and increasingly sophisticated population of the world would not be met.

Potash is a circa $25 billion per annum business, with most of the worlds production coming from Western Canada, Belarus and the Perm Basin in Russia. Germany was the site of the first potash mines, and has been an established producer for over 150 years. The South Harz region has been in continuous production since 1898 and produced over 130 million tonnes of potash between 1960 and 1990, under the former German Democratic Republic. Potash mining is still carried on close to our exploration ground.

The exploration licences held by East Exploration Pty Ltd, which will become owned by Davenport after the IPO, have been drilled prior to 1990 and a remarkable amount of exploration data is available for both licence areas. The most advanced project, the Küllstedt licence, has more than 30 exploration holes drilled on it, which has allowed the identification of an Exploration Target, as described in Section 4.1.

We seek to raise $5,000,000 by the issue of shares at an issue price of $0.20 each. The Company may accept oversubscriptions of up to $1,000,000, to raise a maximum of $6,000,000. The majority of the funds raised under this Prospectus will principally be used to drill confirmatory holes in the Küllstedt licence. As described in Section 4.1, the high quality of previous work done on the deposit, and the continuous stewardship provided by our consultants should allow a rapid and low cost route to a JORC compliant resource. Funds will also be used to evaluate the Gräfentonna licence, by collating

16

and reviewing previous drilling data, evaluating the prospectivity of other areas in the South Harz region.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

The Southern Cross Bore copper-gold project, 75 km north-east of Alice Springs, in the Arunta Mineral Province of the Northern Territory is also a valuable asset in the Davenport portfolio. The Company holds 600 sq km of exploration licences, the most advanced being Johnnies Reward, an iron-oxide copper-gold (IOCG) prospect where drilling has identified broad zones of gold mineralisation grading between 0.4g/t and 2g/t, as discussed in Section 4.2.

The Company has a Board of Directors which is well qualified and experienced in exploration and development activities. We believe that with the Board and the executive team, we have the right mix of skills to ensure successful execution of our business, corporate and operational plans.

This Prospectus provides details of the Offers, the Company, the Projects and proposed operations, together with an outline of potential risks associated with investing in the Company. Potential investors should consider that an investment in the Company is speculative. I recommend you read this document carefully and seek independent professional advice before investing in the Company.

On behalf of the Board of Directors I recommend the Offers to you and look forward to welcoming you as a fellow shareholder.

KEY INVESTMENT RISKS

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

Mineral exploration and development is an inherently speculative activity subject to many risks and uncertainties.

Section 5 describes and refers to some of the potential risks associated with an investment in the Company which may have a material adverse impact on the viability and financial performance of the Company and the market price of its shares, should they arise.

This summary should not be relied on. Greater detail is provided in Section 5. It is strongly recommended that you read Section 5 in full.

Risks associated with East Exploration

Risks identified in the Independent Technical Assessment South Harz Project report:

Including technical challenges and other risks specific to the East Exploration’s German tenements, to the region or to global potash mining regions, which are described in Section 4 “Potential Risks” on page 44 of CSA Global Pty Ltd’s “Independent Technical Assessment South Harz Project” report which is included in Section 10.

Risks identified in Section 5:

Additional Capital Requirements

Including that exploration costs and pursuit of Davenport’s business plan will require further financing and may seek additional capital. If additional funding is not obtained the scope of operations may be reduced or business plans scaled back.

Exploration Resource Definition Stage

Including that East Exploration’s tenements are generally at the exploration and resource definition drilling stage only. Insufficient exploration has been undertaken to define a JORC compliant resource. There can be no assurance that exploration of the South Harz Project will result in the discovery of a resource that can be economically exploited. Weather, mechanical difficulties, shortages or delays may affect drilling and other activities.

18

Accidents

Including unexpected events. These risks may result in legal proceedings, substantial losses, damage to or destruction of property, natural resources or equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, clean- up responsibilities, regulatory investigation, and penalties or suspension of operations.

Risks Associated with Operating in Germany

Including that the tenements located in Germany will be subject to the various political, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated with operating in that country such as economic, social or political change, changes of law, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exploration licensing, environmental protection, mine safety, labour relations as well as differing Federal and State government regulations over mineral properties.

Tenement Title

Including that the licences are for specific terms, are subject to periodic renewal and carry work program and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Davenport could lose title to or its interest in tenements if not renewed, if the licence conditions are not met or new obligations are imposed, or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments as and when they arise, in line with the German legislation.

Environmental and Other Regulatory Risks

Including strict environmental laws in Germany. Environmental laws are dynamic and can change over time. There are certain risks inherent to the Company’s activities, such as accidental spills, leakages or other unforeseen circumstances, which could subject the Company to environmental liability.

Competition Risk

Including that the potash industry globally is competitive and may make it difficult for the Company to attract additional funding for the further exploration of the Projects or to grow or maintain revenues if production were to commence.

19

Reliance on Key Management

Including that the Company will depend substantially on the ability of its executives, senior management and key consultants to operate effectively.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

Delays in Exploration

Including additional costs such as administration overheads before commencing exploration which will reduce the cash reserves of the Company. Delays and additional costs may result in some or all of the Projects not proceeding or defaults in licences or permits which, if not remedied, could result in forfeiture.

Risks associated with the Company’s continuing operations

Risks Associated with Operating in Australia

Including that changes in government regulations and policies may adversely affect the financial performance of the operations of the Company.

Exploration and Evaluation Risk

Including that exploration contains risks by its very nature. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Southern Cross Bore Project will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable deposit or economic resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be viably or commercially exploited. Weather, mechanical difficulties, shortages or delays may affect drilling and other activities.

Liquidity and realisation risk

Including that there being no guarantee of an active market in shares or that the price of the shares will increase. Restriction obligations (escrow) will reduce the “free float” which may increase volatility of the market price of the Company’s shares. Once escrow periods end there may be a significant sell down by the holders of those shares. The potential limited free float (tradeable shares during any restriction period) and potential sell down may affect the prevailing market price at which shareholders are able to sell their shares.

20

General risks

Risks that apply to companies generally may affect the performance of the Company or value its securities, include those set out in Section 5.4 including:

1 CORPORATE OVERVIEW

The information in this section is a selective overview only. Prospective investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety before making any investment decision.

On 26 February 2016, Davenport demerged from Arunta Resources Limited [ACN 089 224 402] (which has subsequently changed its name to Spirit Telecom Limited) (“Arunta”), becoming a separate entity. Eligible Arunta shareholders were issued a total of 6,000,262 shares in Davenport on the basis of 0.328415 Davenport shares for every 100 Arunta shares held on the Record Date. Following the demerger from Arunta, Davenport raised $480,000 through a placement of 6,000,000 shares at $0.08 (8 cents) per share (“the Placement”). As at the date of this Prospectus Davenport has 12,000,262 shares on issue. Arunta is no longer associated with Davenport and is referred to for the purposes of historical identification only.

The Equity Offer is being made to raise a minimum of $5,000,000 through the issue of 25,000,000 shares at $0.20 (20 cents) per share and a maximum of up to $6 million by issuing up to 30,000,000 shares.

4 ~~.~~ 1 German Potash Project

  • (a) Overview of East Exploration and its Projects

Davenport intends acquiring 100% of the issued capital of East Exploration. A wholly owned and controlled German subsidiary of East Exploration is the holder of an exploration licence area of approximately 450km2 on the southwestern edge of the South Harz Potash District within the Republic of Germany.

==> picture [379 x 302] intentionally omitted <==

Davenport views this as a unique opportunity to acquire a greenfield potash project within an established potash mining district that is well supported by infrastructure.

The South Harz Potash District has a history of producing Muriate of Potash (MOP) from both Sylvinite and Carnallitite ores. Within the district both Sylvinite and Carnallitite ores have been mined by both conventional underground and solution mining operations. Prior to the re-unification of Germany the district (in the former German Democratic Republic) produced approximately 3.5 million tonnes of K2O annually (approx. 4.4 million tonnes of MOP).

43

The project area is located in the northern part of the Federal State of Thuringia, situated approximately halfway between Frankfurt and Berlin. The area is well serviced with infrastructure including rail, power and road networks. Potash mining continues in the broader Harz region so knowledge and experience of potash mining is still available.

The project comprises two exploration licenses covering a total area of approximately 457km2. The Küllstedt license was granted on the 12 Jan 2015, and covers an area of 241km2, and the Gräfentonna license which was also granted on the 12 Jan 2015, covers an area of 216km2. Under the German Mining Law the exploration licenses are granted for a term of 5 years with an option to renew for a further 3 years. Within the Küllstedt license there is an excised area covering the Hupstedt-Beberstedt and Felsenfest potash mines which closed in the 1920’s. Ultimately the shafts were filled and capped in 2000.

The Company’s Independent Technical Expert, CSA Global Pty Ltd, compiled the ” Independent Technical Assessment Report South Harz Potash Project ” in April 2016. A copy of the report is included Section 10.1. The report covers regional geology, mining history as well as past exploration completed on and around the license areas. Investors should read the report in its entirety.

East Exploration had previously engaged German based geological consultants ERCOSPLAN Ingenieurgesellschaft Geotechnik und Bergbau (ERCOSPLAN) who are internationally recognized potash specialist and are based in Erfurt, close to the project area. The results of ERCOSPLAN’s preliminary work on the Küllstedt license has been released to ASX by East Exploration’s 55% shareholder Potash West Limited (ASX:PWN) (refer ASX announcement PWN 4th March 2015 “Significant Exploration Target Identified at Küllstedt, within South Harz Project Germany”).

The project lies within the north-western part of the Thuringian Basin that contains a potash rich evaporite sequence which is of Permian age. These so-called Zechstein evaporites have historically been an important source of salts, potassium fertilizers and hydrocarbons in the region. Due to the extensive mining and exploration history in the area, the geology of the project area and potash mineralisation is reasonably well known. The evaporite sequence containing the potash seams within the South Harz area occur at a depth of between 500m and 1,000m below surface. The overlying rocks consist of a marine sequence of sandstones, mudstones, marl, dolomite and siltstones.

44

==> picture [379 x 216] intentionally omitted <==

Within the Küllstedt license the potash mineralisation is hosted by the Permian Stassfurt Formation which ranges in thickness between 32m and 255m. Within the Stassfurt Formation the Kalifloez Stassfurt unit (z2KSt) contains the potash seam which underlies the entire Küllstedt license area. Here, the z2KSt unit is up to 58 metres thick, and appears to be richer in Carnallite potash mineral in the north and Sylvite mineral in the south. Underlying the z2KSt unit is a relatively thick basal rock salt layer (Stassfurt rock salt, z2NA), and the Stassfurt basal anhydrite (z2ANa). The base of the Stassfurt Formation is a dolomite unit (z2D) that has been of interest to hydrocarbon explorers in the past.

Past mining and exploration within the Küllstedt license has included three vertical shafts which operated up to 1924 (excised from the tenement), as well as a number of potash exploration drill holes and oil wells that have drilled through the potash formations of interest as detailed in Table 7 of the Independent Technical Assessment Report South Harz Potash Project report in Section 10.1. ERCOSPLAN have obtained geological data and some assay data for the majority of the drill holes and have created a 3D geological model of the potash seam. This work has allowed ERCOSPLAN to calculate an Exploration Target for potash within the license of between 4,055 million tonnes and 5,141 million tonnes with a grade ranging between 7.2% K2O and 25% K2O. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a mineral resource.

The Exploration Target underlying the Küllstedt license area is based solely on historical drill data. The Company’s immediate priority on Listing is to complete a series of confirmation drill holes in order to confirm the thickness and grade of the potash intersected in the historical holes, and to acquire existing seismic data over the area to confirm the continuity of the underlying stratigraphy. Upon successful completion of this program the Company believes it will be in a position to convert

45

a part of the Exploration Target into a JORC compliant Inferred Resource. This will allow the Company to advance its plans to develop a profitable potash mining operation.

Little geological information is available on the Gräfentonna license, though the stratigraphy is expected to be broadly similar to the Küllstedt license. Based on preliminary data there appears to be a Sylvinite dominated seam running down the central part of the license area and Carnallitite dominated seam towards the eastern side of the license. Once Listed, the Company will commence a detailed geological review and geological model of the potash seam using the available drilling and geological information. It is anticipated that this work will allow an Exploration Target to be calculated that can be confirmed by further drilling.

(b) Proposed Exploration Program

The Company has planned a two year exploration program post listing with the objective of upgrading the existing Exploration Target on the Küllstedt license to a JORC compliant Inferred Resource as well as completing a thorough geological review of the Gräfentonna license that may lead to an Exploration Target for potash being identified that will also require drill testing.

The proposed initial program is to drill two confirmation holes on the Küllstedt license twinning existing exploration holes that have intersected potash.

Confirmation Hole 1: This hole is testing a recorded intersection in hole Felsenfest 13 from 600.5m depth of 58 metres of Carnallite and Sylvite mineralisation recorded. The planned check hole is approximately 1.7km north of the historical Felsenfest potash mine. The hole is planned to be drilled to a depth of between 650m and 700m.

Confirmation Hole 2: This hole is to be drilled on the western side of the license area testing a zone of high grade Sylvinite mineralisation. The hole will be twinning Küllstedt 2/164 that intersected approximately 7 metres of Sylvite and Carnallite mineralisation from a depth of 932.5m. The hole is planned to be drilled to a depth of 980m.

A third drill hole has been proposed in year two of the program. A final decision to drill it will in part be dictated by the results of the Year 1 program.

Confirmation Hole 3: This hole is proposed to be drilled to test a previously recorded high grade Sylvinite lens on the western side of the Küllstedt license. A hole drilled to a depth of approximately 980m would be required, but the exact location has not been defined as yet.

In addition, the Company will be sourcing any other relevant historic drill hole or seismic data that may assist with modelling the structure and continuity of the potash deposit.

46

East Exploration’s German geological consultants ERCOSPLAN have been involved in the planning and location of the drill holes. Discussions with the Mining Authority for the Thuringia Region to seek the necessary permits required have commenced.

Due to the depth of the holes, the program will utilize specialist deep drilling equipment. Work will be contracted to a drilling company experienced in drilling potash deposits and allowance has been made for environment and rehabilitation conditions the mining authority typically impose on drilling programs. Final drill permit requirements will not be known in detail until the permit has been issued.

The work program on the Gräfentonna license will undertake a thorough review of past exploration drilling that has intersected the potash horizon. If sufficient information is available Davenport anticipates it may be possible to estimate an Exploration Target for Potash on the license. This is expected to lead to developing drill targets, however, drilling on the license is not planned in the current budget period.

The estimated cost to undertake the described work is set out in the table below; it is planned to commence immediately after completion of the acquisition and ASX listing.

(c) Information about East Exploration

The Information about East Exploration contained in this Prospectus has been prepared in part based on information provided by East Exploration or its representatives.

Information about East Exploration has also been released to ASX in announcements by Potash West NL (the holding company of a vendor of East Exploration shares). Copies of Potash West NL’s ASX announcements can be obtained from the ASX website under the code PWN.

~~-~~ 4 ~~.~~ 2 Australian Project Southern Cross Bore

Davenport’s Southern Cross Bore Project, comprising ELs 30090, 28045 and 29827 covering an area of 600km2 is located about 75kms north-east of Alice Springs in Australia’s Northern Territory. Access to the project is via the Stuart Highway north of Alice Springs for 49kms, then east along the Arltunga Tourist Road then north on the Bins Track. Station roads provide access within the licence area.

The project is prospective for Iron Oxide Copper Gold style (IOCG) mineralisation and is located within the high grade metamorphic rocks of the Central Block of the Arunta Province a Palaeo to Mesoproterozoic mobile belt. Within the project area the Arunta Province is represented by the Strangways Range Metamorphic Complex, originally a sequence of sedimentary and volcanic rocks of early Proterozoic age, that was deformed and metamorphosed 1700 to 1800 million years ago by regional metamorphism associated with igneous intrusion.

A north trending zone of intense tectonism bisects the eastern part of the project - called the Pinnacles Shear Zone it hosts numerous quartz – copper veins to the east and the Johnnies Reward prospect to the west. Local geology is dominated by protolithic carbonate in the east which transitions abruptly to a pelite-psammite-acid volcanic sequence in the west assigned to the 1810 – 1800Ma Cadney metamorphics, Aileron Province, Strangways Metamorphic Complex, southeast Arunta Inlier.

48

Johnnies Reward is a mature prospect discovered in 1964. Davenport’s exploration has included an RC drilling program, soil-sampling, rock sampling, a second drilling program including both RC and diamond drilling and a heliborne VTEM and magnetics survey. Mineralisation is interpreted as at least two zones of mineralisation striking north-south with an easterly dip. The down plunge extent of the mineralisation remains untested.

Detailed interpretation of the VTEM data from the October 2013 heliborne geophysical survey identified 152 anomalies of which two were classified as high priority, twenty-seven as moderate priority and sixty eight as low priority. The high and moderate priority anomalies fall within four priority areas the two high priority anomalies being associated with the Johnnies Reward mineralisation. Selected anomalies were modelled using thin plates to estimate discrete conductor orientations and strengths and drill holes were designed to intersect the modelled plates.

Davenport plans to review all past exploration data including the more recent VTEM data with a view to prioritising targets. It is anticipated that field work will include soil and rock chip sampling over untested targets in particular across the lightly explored parts of EL30090 where splay structures from the Pinnacles Shear zone suggest enhanced prospectivity. In addition it is proposed to undertake additional geophysical surveys across the extended area of the Johnnies Reward prospect and over key structural and magnetic targets to the west of Johnnies Reward within EL30090. The work is expected to better refine targets for future drilling, however, no drilling is planned in the exploration budget based on the minimum $5 million subscription level.

5 RISK FACTORS

Davenport is a mineral exploration company. The effect of the acquisition of East Exploration will be to refocus exploration activity to East Exploration’s German tenements with known potash mineralisation with the view to developing commercially viable mining operations. Due to the nature of Davenport’s business, investment in Davenport carries with it risks reasonably expected of an investment in a mineral exploration company. There are a number of risks associated with investing in exploration companies generally and associated with investing in Davenport specifically. The business, assets and operations of Davenport are subject to risk factors that may affect the operating and financial performance of Davenport in the future.

The Risk Factors include, but are not limited to those set out below.

5 ~~.~~ 1 Risks associated with East Exploration

There are risks which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating and financial performance and the price or value of its shares after completion of the acquisition.

Key risks applying after completion of the acquisition identified by the present Board of East Exploration are set out below. It should be noted that the description of risks is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is or may be exposed.

Technical challenges the potash operations at the East Exploration’s German tenements have faced and dealt with in the past and other risks specific to the East Exploration’s German tenements, to the region or to global potash mining regions are described in Section 4 “Potential Risks” on page 44 of CSA Global Pty Ltd’s “ Independent Technical Assessment South Harz Project ” report which is included in Section 11.1. Shareholders should read and have regard to those technical challenges and other risks, in addition to the following.

(a) Additional Capital Requirements

Exploration costs and pursuit of its business plan will use the Company’s current cash reserves and the funds raised under the proposed Equity Offer. Therefore Davenport will require further financing and may seek additional capital whether through equity, debt or joint venture financing, to support long-term exploration and evaluation of its projects. The Directors can give no assurances as to the level of future borrowings or further capital raisings that will be required to meet the aims to develop the Exploration Licences. No assurance can be given that Davenport will be able to procure sufficient funding at the relevant times on the terms acceptable to it.

50

Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on Davenport’ operating activities and business strategy. If Davenport is unable to obtain additional funding as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations or scale back its business plans.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

(b) Exploration Resource Definition Stage

East Exploration’s exploration tenements as described in this Prospectus are generally at the exploration and resource definition drilling stage only. They are not yet at the stage where a development plan is capable of being determined. Potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and subsequent development are high-risk undertakings. The prospects of Davenport after the acquisition should be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development.

While the exploration licences are considered by the Board to be highly prospective, insufficient exploration has been undertaken to define a JORC compliant resource. There is no guarantee that a JORC compliant resource in relation to any of these exploration licences will be identified in the future. Davenport proposes to utilise funds raised in the Equity Offer to undertake a drilling program to demonstrate the economic potential of the exploration licences.

Any resource delineated is an estimate only. An estimate is an expression of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect Davenport’ operations.

Exploration costs described in this Prospectus are based on certain estimates and assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. While based on industry practice, judgment and experience, these estimates and assumptions are by their nature, subject to significant uncertainties and actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions used will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect Davenport’s viability.

The business of mineral exploration, project development and production, by its nature, contains elements of significant risk with no guarantee of success. Ultimate and continuous success of these activities is dependent on many factors such as:

51

  • i. the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable reserves;

  • ii. access to adequate capital for project development;

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

  • iii. design and construction of efficient development and production infrastructure within capital expenditure budgets;

  • iv. securing and maintaining title to interests;

  • v. obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of mineral exploration, development and production; and

  • vi. access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants.

There can be no assurance that exploration of the exploration licences currently held by East Exploration will result in the discovery of an economic potash deposit. Even if a potash deposit is identified, there is no certainty that it can be economically exploited. If exploration is successful, there will be additional costs and processes involved in transitioning to the development phase.

Drilling activities carry risk and as such, activities may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of weather conditions, mechanical difficulties, shortages or delays in the delivery of drill rigs or other equipment.

(c) Accidents

The operations of the Company may be affected by unexpected events arising from errors, omission or natural disasters. These risks include fire, explosions, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment, mechanical failure or breakdown, and environmental hazards such as accidental spills or leakage of liquids or geological uncertainty.

The occurrence of any of these risks could result in legal proceedings against the Company and substantial losses to the Company due to injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, natural resources or equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation, and penalties or suspension of operations. Damage occurring to third parties as a result of such risks may give rise to claims against the Company.

(d) Risks Associated with Operating in Germany

The East Exploration tenements are located in Germany and will be subject to the various political, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated with operating in that country. There are risks

52

attached to exploration and mining operations in Germany that are not necessarily the same as those in Australia. These risks and uncertainties vary from country to country and include, but are not limited to, economic, social or political change, changes of law, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exploration licensing, environmental protection, mine safety, labour relations as well as differing Federal and State government regulations over mineral properties.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral exploration and environmental protection, could result in the loss, or reduction of entitlements. The occurrence of these various factors adds uncertainties that cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations or profitability.

There can be no guarantee that Davenport will be able to generate a positive return for its shareholders if an event occurs in Germany which materially adversely affects the value of Davenport, its assets and/or its business.

(e) Tenement Title

Rights in relation to exploration in Germany are governed by both Federal and State legislation. They are evidenced by the granting of licences. Each licence is for a specific term and carries with it work program and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, Davenport could lose title to or its interest in tenements if the licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments as and when they arise, in line with the German legislation.

Tenements granted to the Company are subject to periodic renewal. Renewal is not automatic, and is subject to approval, which approval can be denied for various reasons, including failure to comply with the stated conditions. Renewal may include additional or varied expenditure or work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of the areas comprising projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of Davenport. If any of the Exploration Licences are not renewed, Davenport may suffer significant damage through loss of the opportunity to develop any mineral resources on that licence.

(f) Environmental and Other Regulatory Risks

Environmental laws in Germany are strict when it comes for the protection of environment. Every activity from exploration through to development and mining require compliance with the regulations for environmental protection. It is expected that the Company’s activities will have an impact on the environment, particularly at the time of advanced exploration and any mine development.

53

It is in Davenport’s interest to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws, in order to minimise damage to the environment and risk of liability. In a normal situation, it is expected that despite diligently observing the applicable environmental laws and regulations, there are certain risks inherent to the Company’s activities, such as accidental spills, leakages or other unforeseen circumstances, which could subject the Company to environmental liability.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

The Company will require other various governmental approvals and permits in Germany from time to time in connection with various aspects of its activities. To the extent such approvals or permits are required and not obtained, or are delayed, Davenport may experience delays affecting its scheduled exploration program and project development.

Environmental laws are dynamic and can change over time. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future. Additional laws or regulations may materially increase the Company’s cost of doing business or affect its operations. The cost and complexity of complying with any additional environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable mineral deposits.

Further, environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will likely require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There can be no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation in Germany, if any, will not materially and adversely affect Davenports business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

(g) Competition Risk

The potash industry globally is competitive. The actions of an existing producer or the entry of new competitors into the potash mining industry may make it difficult for the Company to attract additional funding for the further exploration of the Projects. If the Company is successful in developing the Projects, the actions of an existing producer, or the entry of a new competitor, may make it difficult for the Company to grow or maintain its revenues, which in turn, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s profitability.

(h) Reliance on Key Management

Davenport’s prospects and ability to carry on its business will depend substantially on the ability of its executives, senior management and key consultants to operate effectively. To manage its growth,

54

Davenport must attract and retain additional highly qualified personnel. Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on management’s discretion and judgement, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors. There can be no assurance that there will be no detrimental impact on Davenport if one or more key employees cease their employment at some stage.

(i) Delays in Exploration

Exploration and development costs (including, without limitation, administration overheads if the Company continues to incur these costs for a significant period before it can commence any exploration) will reduce the cash reserves of the Company, which may not be replaced through the successful development of mining operations. The Company would then be dependent on seeking exploration capital elsewhere, through equity, debt or joint venture financing, to support long term exploration and evaluation of the Projects. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to find exploration capital on satisfactory terms or at all. Inability to find exploration capital may result in some or all of the Projects not proceeding or defaults in licences or permits which, if not remedied, could result in forfeiture.

5 ~~.~~ 2 Risks associated with the Company’s continuing operations

There are risks associated with Davenport’s existing Southern Cross Bore Project which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operating and financial performance and the price or value of its shares. The materiality of these risks is somewhat mitigated by the low level of exploration activity planned for these tenements, amounting to approximately 5% of the total company budget over the first 2 years following completion of the acquisition.

Key risks associated with Davenport’s existing Southern Cross Bore Project identified by the present Board of Davenport are set out below. It should be noted that the description of risks is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is or may be exposed.

(a) Risks Associated with Operating in Australia

The availability and rights to explore and mine, as well as resource industry profitability generally, can be affected by changes in government policy. Changes in government regulations and policies may adversely affect the financial performance of the operations of the Company. The impact of actions by governments may affect the Company’s activities, including in relation to access to infrastructure, compliance with environmental regulations, taxation and royalties. Davenport holds rights to Northern Territory tenements, the responsible government authority will conduct reviews from time to time of policies in connection with the granting and administration of exploration licences. At present the Company is not aware of any proposed changes to policy that would affect the tenements. Changing

55

attitudes to environmental, land care, cultural heritage and indigenous land rights issues, together with the nature of the political process, provide the possibility of future policy changes. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company’s exploration plans or, indeed, its rights and/or obligations with respect to the Northern Territory tenements.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

(b) Exploration and Evaluation Risk

The business of exploration contains risks by its very nature. Successful exploration requires competent operation and managerial performance. In particular, exploration is a speculative endeavour. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Southern Cross Bore Project will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable deposit or economic resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be viably or commercially exploited.

The exploration costs of the Company identified in Sections 3 (and 4.1(b)), and the Company’s preliminary evaluation of the merit of continuing exploration at the project, is based on assumptions relating to exploration, the method and timing of exploration and other technical and market related assumptions. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the costs and results may materially differ from the estimates and assumptions. No assurance can be given that the estimates and assumptions will be realised in practice, which may adversely affect the Company’s performance.

5 ~~.~~ 3 Liquidity and realisation risk

There can be no guarantee that an active market in the shares will develop or that the price of the shares will increase. There may be relatively few potential buyers or sellers at any given time and this may increase the volatility of the market price of the shares.

Restriction obligations (escrow) that may be applied to the Company’s shares by ASX including ordinary shares issued under the Placement completed in May 2016 and/or as consideration for the acquisition will reduce the “free float” (shares which are tradable during any restriction period), resulting in there being relatively fewer active or potential sellers or buyers at a given time, which may increase the volatility of the market price of the Company’s shares.

As referred to in Section 12.11, while the Company is not presently aware of what restriction obligations will be imposed, and will not know the extent of escrow until determined by ASX, if Placement shares are escrowed in proportion to the ratio the cash amount paid per share (8 cents) under the Placement bears to the Equity Offer price and all shares issued as consideration for the acquisition of East Exploration were to be restricted, restricted ordinary shares would represent approximately 54.5% of the issued ordinary shares of the Company at the minimum subscription level or 51.1% at

56

the maximum subscription level. This would leave only between approximately 45.5% and 48.9% (respectively) of the Company’s ordinary shares free trading until the escrow period(s) ended. If more shares were to be restricted, fewer shares would be free trading, and if fewer shares were to be restricted, more shares would be free trading.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

Further, there is a risk that once the shares subject to escrow or trading restrictions are released from the restrictions attaching to them, there may be a significant sell down by the holders of those shares.

The potential limited free float (tradeable shares during any restriction period) and potential sell down may affect the prevailing market price at which shareholders are able to sell their shares.

5 ~~.~~ 4 General risks

The future prospects of the Company’s business may be affected by circumstances and external factors beyond the Company’s control. Financial performance of the Company may be affected by a number of business risks that apply to companies generally and may include economic, financial, market or regulatory conditions.

(a) Share Market Conditions

The market price of the Company’s shares can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither Davenport nor the Directors warrant the future performance of Davenport or any return on an investment in Davenport.

(b) Occupational Health and Safety

The mining industry has become subject to increasing occupational health and safety responsibility and liability. There is potential for liability under occupational health and safety regulations.

(c) Economic Risks

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on Davenport’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. If activities cannot be funded, there is a risk that tenements may have to be surrendered or not renewed. General economic conditions may affect the value of Davenports quoted securities regardless of operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

57

i. general economic outlook;

  • ii. interest rates and inflation rates;

  • iii. currency fluctuations;

  • iv. changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • v. the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • vi. terrorism or other hostilities.

(d) Investment Speculative

==> picture [59 x 87] intentionally omitted <==

The risk factors set out in this Section 5 ought not to be taken as an exhaustive list of the risks faced by Davenport or by potential investors in Davenport.

The proposed exploration expenditure on the Projects may be adversely affected by any unforeseen expenses which arise in the future and which have not been considered in this Prospectus. While the Company is not aware of any expenses that may need to be incurred that have not been taken into account, if such expenses were incurred, the expenditure proposals of the Company may be adversely affected. Any combination of the above factors may materially affect any individual mineral project assets, operations or the financial performance of the Company and the value of its securities. To that extent the acquisition is subject to significant risk and uncertainty with respect to return or preservation of capital.

There is no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of Davenport shares. Shareholders should consider that their investment in Davenport is speculative and should read this Prospectus in full and consult their professional adviser if they are unsure about the effect of the acquisition.

  • An entity associated with Mr Edgar, Melbourne Capital Limited (or its nominee), will receive East Exploration shares prior to completion of the acquisition. Neither Mr Edgar nor his associated entities currently hold any East Exploration shares.

Directors and their associates may also apply for Shares under the Equity Offer at the Offer Price, which would increase their holdings.

6 ~~.~~ 5 Board Remuneration

The proposed maximum aggregate remuneration for non-executive Directors is $500,000 (see Section 6.6, below). Initially the amount payable to non-executive Directors will not be greater than $160,000 per annum, divided between the directors as agreed. When appropriate the Board will undertaking a review process and may seek advice from external consultants on fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies. Directors who are called upon to perform extra services beyond the director’s ordinary duties may be paid additional fees for those services.

The proposed remuneration of each current and proposed Director commencing upon completion of the acquisition is as follows:

Director or proposed Director Director’s Fees / Salary / Consulting Fees Director’s Fees / Salary / Consulting Fees
(per annum) (plus GST if applicable)
Patrick McManus $45,000
Rory Luff $30,000
Christopher Bain^ $140,000
Angus Edgar* $45,000*

^ Mr Bain will be appointed as Managing Director (an executive Director positon) with effect upon the acquisition. Mr Bain’s remuneration is not included in the non-executive Director remuneration pool.

63

  • Mr Edgar has agreed to a six-month engagement as a Director following ASX listing of Davenport. Mr Edgar will receive director’s fees at the rate of $30,000 per annum, and for the first 6 months after Listing he (or a company associated with him) will also receive $2,500 per month for providing corporate advisory consulting services to the Company.

September 2015
October 2015 to
September 2016
Rory Luff Nil $10,000
Christopher Bain Nil $25,000
Angus Edgar* Nil $10,000
  • Mr Edgar received remuneration from Davenport’s former parent entity for services to the group which included Davenport, but did not receive remuneration from Davenport prior to May 2016.

~~-~~ 6 ~~.~~ 6 Proposed Non Executive Director Remuneration Pool

The Constitution of the Company provides for a maximum aggregate amount that may be paid to non-executive directors (referred to as a “non-executive director’s remuneration pool”) to be determined by shareholders at a general meeting. ASX requires the non-executive director’s remuneration pool amount to be specified.

A maximum non-executive director’s remuneration pool amount of $500,000 per annum was adopted at the General Meeting.

The non-executive director’s remuneration pool is a maximum and does not mean that nonexecutive directors will be paid a total of $500,000 per annum. In the first two years following listing the non-executive directors remuneration pool will be limited to no more than $160,000 per annum. The amount of each non-executive director’s remuneration and allocations among nonexecutive directors within the pool limit are determined by the Board, and after listing the process of determining non-executive directors’ remuneration will be subject to compliance with corporate governance policies to be adopted as part of listing. The proposed remuneration of each current and proposed Director commencing upon completion of the acquisition is set out in Section 6.5.

64

Payments to non-executive directors for specific services beyond the ordinary role of a non-executive director, such as consulting or professional services, are excluded from the total pool amount, as is reimbursement of expenses.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

Any future change to the non-executive director’s remuneration pool will require a further shareholder approval.

6 ~~.~~ 7 Proposed Employee Security Ownership Plan

An employee incentive scheme (“the Employee Security Ownership Plan” or “the Plan”) was adopted at the General Meeting. The Employee Security Ownership Plan will take effect after Listing. The purpose of the Employee Security Ownership Plan is to enable eligible directors, officers and employees (including executive and non-executive directors of the Company or its subsidiaries) to receive shares, options to acquire shares in the Company or other securities or interests such as performance rights.

The objects of the Plan are to:

  • provide participants (eligible persons within the meaning of the Plan) with an additional incentive to work to improve the performance of the Company;

  • attracting and retaining eligible persons essential for the continued growth and development of the Company;

  • to promote and foster loyalty and support amongst eligible persons for the benefit of the Company; and

  • to enhance the relationship between the Company and eligible persons for the long term mutual benefit of all parties.

There is no current proposal to issue any shares, options, other securities or interests such as performance rights under the Plan. While the Plan makes provision for participation by directors and their associates (subject always to further shareholder approval) the Plan is only being adopted to enable shares or options to be issued to non-director employees if the Board decided to do so after Listing. No directors or their associates can or will participate in the Plan or receive any shares, options, other securities or interests such as performance rights unless and until further shareholder approval of specific issues to them is obtained.

The terms of the Plan are set out in Section 14.9

65

7 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

7 ~~.~~ 1 ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations

The Company has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance.

To the extent applicable, the Company has adopted The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd Edition) as published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (“the Recommendations”).

Given the Company’s size and nature, the Board considers that the current board and policies are a cost effective and practical method of directing and managing the Company.

The Company’s main corporate governance policies and practices as at the date of this Prospectus are outlined below and the Company’s full Corporate Governance Plan is available in the corporate governance information section of the Company’s website ( www.davenportresources.com.au).

7 ~~.~~ 2 Board of directors

The Board is responsible for corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. The goals of the corporate governance processes are to:

66

internal compliance and control, codes of conduct and legal compliance;

  • Ensuring that policies and procedures are in place consistent with the Company’s objectives, and that the Company and its officers act legally, ethically and responsibly in all matters.

  • Ensuring corporate accountability to the shareholders primarily through adopting an effective shareholder communications strategy, encouraging effective participation at general meetings and, through the Chairman, being the key interface between the Company and its shareholders;

  • Overseeing the Company’s process for making timely and balanced disclosure of all material information concerning the Company that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the entity’s securities; and

  • Monitoring the effectiveness of the Company’s governance practices.

The Company is committed to the circulation of relevant materials to Directors in a timely manner to facilitate Directors’ participation in the Board discussions on a fully-informed basis.

7 ~~.~~ 3 Composition of the Board

A Board Charter has been adopted which sets out the responsibilities of the Board. It provides that the Board should comprise a minimum of three Directors, and that the Directors’ should have the appropriate mix of skills, experience and expertise which are relevant to the Company’s business and the Directors responsibilities.

The Board Charter allows the Board to delegate powers and responsibilities to committees to assist the Board discharge its duties.

The Company shall also develop and implement a formal induction program for Directors which allows new directors to participate fully and actively in Board decision-making at the earliest opportunity, and enable new Directors to gain an understanding of the Company’s policies and procedures.

67

7 ~~.~~ 4 Identification and management of risk

The Board’s collective experience will enable accurate identification of the principal risks that may affect the Company’s business. Key operational risks and their management will be recurring items for deliberation at Board meetings.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

7 ~~.~~ 5 Ethical standards

The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.

7 ~~.~~ 6 Independent professional advice

Subject to the Chairman’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Directors, at the Company’s expense, may obtain independent professional advice on issues arising in the course of their duties.

7 ~~.~~ 7 Remuneration arrangements

The remuneration of an executive Director will be decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process.

The total maximum remuneration of non-executive Directors initially set by, and any subsequent variation is made by, an ordinary resolution of shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director.

In addition, a Director may be paid fees as the Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director.

Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.

The Board reviews and approves the remuneration policy to enable the Company to attract and retain executives and Directors who will create value for Shareholders having consideration to the amount considered to be commensurate for a company of its size and level of activity as well as the relevant Directors’ time, commitment and responsibility. The Board is also responsible for reviewing

68

any employee incentive and equity-based plans including the appropriateness of performance hurdles and total payments proposed.

7 ~~.~~ 8 Trading policy

The Board has adopted a policy that sets out the guidelines on the sale and purchase of securities in the Company by its directors, officers, employees and contractors. The policy generally provides that for directors, the written acknowledgement of the Chair (or the Board in the case of the Chairman) must be obtained prior to trading.

7 ~~.~~ 9 External audit

The Company in general meetings is responsible for the appointment of the external auditors of the Company, and the Board from time to time will review the scope, performance and fees of those external auditors.

7 ~~.~~ 10 Audit committee

The Company will not have a separate audit committee until such time as the Board is of a sufficient size and structure, and the Company’s operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company. In the meantime, the full Board will carry out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to that committee under the written terms of reference for that committee, including but not limited to, monitoring and reviewing any matters of significance affecting financial reporting and compliance, the integrity of the financial reporting of the Company, the Company’s internal financial control system and risk management systems and the external audit function.

7 ~~.~~ 11 Shareholder Communication

The Board’s aim is to ensure that shareholders are informed of all major developments affecting the Company.

7 ~~.~~ 12 Departures from Recommendations

The Financial Information has been prepared:

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

  • i. in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’), which are consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’), as outlined in the significant accounting policies disclosed below, which the directors have determined are appropriate to meet the needs of members; and

The Financial Information set out in the Prospectus is presented in an abbreviated form and does not contain all the disclosures and other mandatory professional reporting requirements that are applicable to a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

(c) Use of Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected

(d) Going concern

The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. .

75

(e) Basis of Consolidation

Reverse acquisition accounting

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

The proposed acquisition of East Exploration (the legal subsidiary) by the Company (the legal parent) is deemed to be a reverse acquisition, since the substance of the transaction is such that the existing shareholders of East Exploration will obtain substantial control of the Company.

AASB 3 Business combinations (‘AASB 3’) sets out the accounting principles to be followed in a reverse acquisition transaction. However, the Directors have concluded that the Company does not meet the definition of a business as prescribed in AASB 3 and, as such. It has been deemed that the Acquisition cannot be accounted for in accordance with the guidance set out in AASB 3.

Therefore, consistent with the accepted practice for transactions similar in nature to the acquisition, the Company has accounted for the acquisition of East Exploration in the Pro Forma Financial Information of the legal acquirer (the Company) as a continuation of the financial statements of the legal acquired entity (East Exploration), together with a share based payment measured in accordance with AASB 2 Share based payments (‘AASB 2’) , which represents a deemed issue of shares by the legal acquired entity (East Exploration), equivalent to the current shareholders in the Company post the acquisition. The excess of the assessed value of the share based payment over the pro forma net assets of the Company as at acquisition date has been expensed to the income statement as a listing fee.

(f) Principles of consolidation

The Pro Forma Financial Information incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Company and East Exploration (‘the Group’) as at 30 June 2016.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The effects of potential exercisable voting rights are considered when assessing whether control exists. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intergroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

76

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Refer to the ‘business combinations’ accounting policy for further details. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

(g) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and IFRIC interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for current reporting periods. The Company’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is that there would be no material impact on the pro forma financial information.

8 ~~.~~ 3 Significant accounting policies

(a) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. For this purpose, deferred consideration is not discounted to present values when recognising revenue.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

77

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [59 x 87] intentionally omitted <==

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(b) Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

  • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or

  • When the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

78

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entity’s which intend to settle simultaneously.

(c) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short- term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

(d) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.

(e) Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose of the acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted. The fair values of quoted investments are

79

based on current bid prices. For unlisted investments, the consolidated entity establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets, principally equity securities that are either designated as available-for-sale or not classified as any other category. After initial recognition, fair value movements are recognised directly in the available-for-sale reserve in equity. Cumulative gain or loss previously reported in the available-for-sale reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; a breach of contract such as default or delinquency in payments; the lender granting to a borrower concessions due to economic or legal reasons that the lender would not otherwise do; it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset; or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows.

80

The amount of the impairment allowance for loans and receivables carried at amortised cost is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. If there is a reversal of impairment, the reversal cannot exceed the amortised cost that would have been had the impairment not been recognised and is reversed to profit or loss.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

Available-for-sale financial assets are considered impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in value below initial cost. Subsequent increments in value are recognised directly in the available- for-sale reserve.

(f) Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation commences from the time the asset is available for its intended use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the period of the issue or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing value basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Leasehold improvements 10 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date to ensure it is not in excess of the assets recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted in determining recoverable amounts.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

(g) Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

81

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset’s useful life or over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(h) Exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

(i) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(j) Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

82

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

(k) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

(l) Employee benefits

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Non-accumulating sick leave is expensed to profit or loss when incurred.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.

The costs of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

83

The costs of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:

  • during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.

  • from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

84

(m) Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(n) Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority.

~~-~~ 8 ~~.~~ 7 Pro forma Listing Expenses

The proposed acquisition of East Exploration by the Company is deemed to be a reverse acquisition as the substance of the transaction is such that the existing shareholders of East Exploration will obtain substantial control of the Company. However, the Company is not considered to meet the definition of a business under AASB 3 Business Combinations (‘AASB 3’) and, as such, it has been concluded that the acquisition cannot be accounted for in accordance with the guidelines set out in AASB 3. Therefore consistent with the accepted practice for transactions similar in nature to the acquisition, the acquisition is accounted for in the pro forma financial information as a continuation of the financial statements of the legal acquiree (East Exploration), together with a share based payment measured in accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payments (‘AASB 2’), which represents a deemed issue of shares by the legal acquiree (East Exploration), equivalent to current shareholders interest in the Company post the acquisition. The excess of the assessed fair value is of the share based payment over the net assets has been expensed to the income statement as a listing fee.

Consequently, a listing expense of $1,469,328 has been expensed on the acquisition, which represents the excess of the deemed fair value of the Company shares on issue less the pro-forma net assets of the Company on completion of the settlement of all transactions, as set out below:

Fair value of East Exploration at completion date No of Shares $
Fair value of East Exploration on acquisition 7,291,667

The Equity Offer is made on the terms, and is subject to the conditions, set out in this Prospectus.

Details of how to apply for shares under the Equity Offer are set out in Sections 12.1, 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4.

  • the Davenport Priority Offer – of up to 2,500,000 shares ($500,000) made to and which is only open to shareholders of Davenport as at 8 September 2016 (“the Record Date”);

Details of the allocation policies under the two Priority Offers, Broker Firm Offer and the General Offer are described in Sections 13.1(b), 13.2(d) and 13.3.

Investors wishing to apply under the General Offer or Davenport or Potash West NL shareholders wishing to apply for additional shares above their priority entitlement will be satisfied to the extent that Davenport or Potash West NL shareholders do not take up all of the Priority Offers.

12 ~~.~~ 3 Vendor Offer

This Prospectus contains an offer 36,458,333 fully paid ordinary shares, 33,854,167 first milestone shares (fully paid non-transferrable, non-voting ordinary shares in the Company) and 33,854,167 second milestone shares to the vendors of East Exploration and/or their respective nominee(s) as

210

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [59 x 87] intentionally omitted <==

No funds will be raised through the Vendor Offer.

12 ~~.~~ 4 Options Offer

This Prospectus contains an offer up to 10 million options having an exercise price of $0.25 (25 cents) expiring three years after Listing to recipients determined by the Company, including to AFSL holders or others in connection with the Equity Offer. Only recipients determined by the Company are eligible to accept the Options Offer.

No funds will be raised through the issue of Options under the Options Offer. Funds received upon exercise of options (if exercised) will be applied to the Company’s working capital requirements at the time.

12 ~~.~~ 5 Shares, Milestone Shares and Options

All shares offered under this Prospectus will, once issued, rank equally with the Company’s currently issued shares. A summary of the rights attaching to shares is set out in Section 14.6.

The milestone shares are fully paid non-transferrable, non-voting ordinary shares in the Company which convert to fully paid ordinary shares having the same terms as the Company’s existing ordinary shares upon achievement of the applicable milestone.

The milestone shares will not be quoted (listed), and admission of the milestone shares to quotation is not a condition of the Offers. The Company will apply for quotation of ordinary shares into which the first or second milestone shares (as applicable) convert if the respective milestone is achieved.

Each option will entitle the holder to be issued one fully paid ordinary share upon exercise and payment of the exercise price. The options have an exercise price of $0.25 (25 cents) and expire three years after Listing. The full terms of the options are set out in Section 14.8. The options will not be quoted (listed) at the time of issue, and admission of the options to quotation is not a condition of the Offers. The Company will apply for quotation of shares issued upon valid exercise of the options.

Shares issued upon valid exercise of an option will rank equally with and have the same terms as the shares currently on issue.

The terms of the milestone shares including the milestones applicable to each are set out in Section 14.7.

Options

Davenport may also issue up to 10 million options having an exercise price of 25 cents and an expiry date three years after Listing. These options may be issued as determined by the Company, including to AFSL holders or others in connection with the Equity Offer.

The terms of the options are set out in Section 14.8

Escrow restrictions which may be applied by ASX to all or some of the shares and milestone shares to be issued to vendors of East Exploration or their nominees and options are described in Section 12.11.

No shares issued under the Equity Offer will be subject to escrow.

215

(c) Other control implications of the Offers

Details of shares to be issued to vendors of East Exploration or their nominees, and the percentages of Davenport’s shares that will be held by each are set out in Section 14.5.

The current Board of Davenport will remain and Mr Patrick McManus will join the Board as NonExecutive Chairman upon completion of the acquisition. Mr Edgar has agreed to a six-month engagement as a Director following ASX listing of Davenport. Details of the proposed Board and their direct and indirect interests in Davenport shares are set out in Section 6.

12 ~~.~~ 10 ASX Application

Application was made to ASX on 31 August 2016 for the Company to be admitted to the Official List of ASX, and for Official Quotation of the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares including the shares offered under the Equity Offer. The ASX and its officers take no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or the merits of investment to which it relates. Acceptance of the application by ASX or the fact that the ASX may admit the Company to the Official List or any of its securities to Official Quotation is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of the Company, East Exploration, the Company’s shares, milestone shares or options.

If (other than as provided below) permission is not granted for the Official Quotation of shares on ASX within three months after the date of this Replacement Prospectus (or such longer period as ASIC and ASX may permit), all application monies will be refunded (without interest) to the applicant in accordance with the requirements of and within the time prescribed by the Corporations Act. Shares, and shares into which milestone shares convert or shares issued upon exercise of options, upon which restriction (escrow) obligations are imposed by ASX may not be quoted until the escrow period ends. The admission of those shares to quotation before the end of the applicable escrow period is not a condition of the Offers, and it is expressly not stated or implied that permission will be sought for the Official Quotation of those shares, or of milestone shares or options, or will be granted within three months or any other period after the date of this Replacement Prospectus.

12 ~~.~~ 11 ASX Escrow (Restriction)

None of the shares offered under the Equity Offer will be subject to restriction (escrow).

ASX may restrict (escrow) some of the Company’s existing ordinary shares and/or all or some ordinary shares issued as consideration for the acquisition of East Exploration. The Company is not presently aware of what, if any, restriction obligations will be imposed on the ordinary shares, and will not know the extent of escrow of ordinary shares until determined by ASX. However, subject to that proviso:

216

  • a. it is expected that shares distributed in specie by Arunta under the demerger in February 2016 will not be escrowed;

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

  • b. the 6 million shares issued under the Placement completed in May 2016 may be partly or fully escrowed. The proportion escrowed is expected to be determined by the ratio the cash amount paid per share (8 cents) bears to the Equity Offer price (20 cents), so that 60% (or 3.6 million shares) would be escrowed and 40% (or 2.4 million shares) free trading;

  • c. shares issued to acquire East Exploration shares for which cash payments (if any) were made may be excluded from escrow, in the proportion that the cash amount paid for East Exploration shares bears to the Equity Offer issue price (20 cents), depending on demonstrating to ASX’s satisfaction that funds were expended on developing the East Exploration projects;

  • d. it is expected that the milestone shares to be issued as consideration for the acquisition of East Exploration will be fully escrowed. If a milestone applicable to performance shares is achieved during the escrow period, the ordinary shares into which the performance shares convert would be escrowed for the remainder of the escrow period that applied to the converted performance shares.

Restriction periods are usually two years from Listing for shares that were issued to or are held by related parties (principally directors and their associates), or one year from the issue of shares if not issued to or held by related parties.

If the above proportion of Placement shares and all ordinary shares issued as consideration for the acquisition of East Exploration were to be restricted, the restricted ordinary shares would represent approximately 54.5% of the issued ordinary shares of the Company at the minimum subscription level or 51.1% at the maximum subscription level.

The up to 10 million options offered under the Options Offer would be expected to be fully escrowed for 2 years from Listing. Ordinary shares issued if options are exercised during the escrow period would be escrowed for the remainder of the escrow period that applied to the options.

The Company draws attention to the risks described in Section 5.3 regarding the potential effect of escrow on liquidity and of the release of shares from escrow.

The Company will announce details of what, if any, restrictions are applied before Official Quotation commences.

217

12 ~~.~~ 12 ASX Waivers and ASIC modifications or exemptions

As at the date of this Prospectus the Company has not applied to ASX for any waivers of the Listing Rules or to ASIC for any modifications of or exemptions from the Corporations Act or other legislation.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

The Company is relying on ASIC Corporations (Minimum Subscription and Quotation Conditions) Instrument 2016/70. Under that Instrument, the dates by which Listing and the minimum subscription are required to be achieved are extended to 3 months and 4 months after the date of this Replacement Prospectus (respectively).

12 ~~.~~ 13 Issue

Subject to the conditions of the Offers being fulfilled, allotment of the shares offered under the Equity Offer in this Prospectus and despatch of initial holding statements are expected to take place as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

It is the responsibility of each person who seeks to trade in shares on ASX to confirm their holding before trading in shares. Any person who sells shares before receiving a holding statement does so at their own risk. The Company and the Share Registry disclaim all liability, whether in negligence or otherwise, if a person sells shares before receiving a holding statement, even if that person obtained holding details of holding through their Broker.

All dates are subject to change – see Section 12.7 for further information.

12 ~~.~~ 14 Discretion regarding the Offers

The Company may withdraw the Offers at any time before the issue of shares, milestone shares or options to successful applicants. If the Offers, or any part of them, do not proceed, application monies will be refunded to applicants (without interest) in accordance with the Corporations Act.

The Company also reserves the right to extend the Offers or any part of them, accept late applications either generally or in particular cases, reject any application (other than a valid Priority Offer or Broker Firm Offer application), allocate any applicant under the Equity Offers fewer shares than applied for, determine a person to be eligible or ineligible to participate in the Equity Offer, or amend or waive the application procedures or requirements, in its discretion subject to compliance with applicable laws.

12 ~~.~~ 15 Not underwritten

The Equity Offer is not underwritten.

218

12 ~~.~~ 16 Commissions payable

The Company may agree to pay broker handling fees of up to 6% of the amount of successful applications submitted by the broker. Broker handling fees will only be paid where a broker claim form and schedule is submitted to the Share Registry no later than 5pm on the Broker Firm Offer Closing Date. The broker claim form and schedule is available from the Share Registry during the Broker Firm Offer period.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

No brokerage, commission or stamp duty is payable by applicants.

12 ~~.~~ 17 CHESS

Prior to listing, the Company will apply to participate in the ASX’s Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS) and will comply with the ASX Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules. CHESS is an electronic transfer and settlement system for transactions in securities quoted on the ASX under which transfers are effected in electronic form.

Electronic sub-registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with holding statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of shares, milestone shares or options issued to them under this Prospectus. The holding statements will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number (if the holder is broker sponsored) or Security Holder Reference Number (if the holder is issuer sponsored) and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of shares or options (subject to any restriction obligations imposed by ASX and the terms of the options) can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Further, monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month. Security holders may request a holding statement at any other time, however a charge may be made for such additional statements.

12 ~~.~~ 18 Foreign selling restrictions

This Prospectus does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus. The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any of these restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities law.

Applicants who are resident in countries other than Australia should consult their professional advisors as to whether any governmental or other consents are required or whether any other formalities need to be considered and followed.

The shares, milestone shares or options have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in the United States.

Each applicant will be taken to have represented, warranted and agreed as follows:

The Company may reject an application where payment of the application monies is not received or a cheque or funds transfer is not honoured, or without prejudice to its rights, issue shares in response to the application and recover outstanding application amount from the applicant.

Acceptance of an Equity Offer application will give rise to a binding contract upon issue of shares to a successful applicant.

14 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

14 ~~.~~ 1 Registration

Davenport was incorporated on 26 September 2011 and converted to a public company on 21 August 2015.

14 ~~.~~ 2 Corporate Structure

Davenport demerged from Arunta (which has since changed its name to Spirit Telecom Limited) on 26 February 2016 following Arunta shareholder approval obtained on 19 February 2016. As part of the demerger Arunta shareholders were issued 0.328415 Davenport shares for every 100 Arunta shares held on 25 February 2016. Arunta is no longer associated with Davenport and is referred to for the purposes of historical identification only.

Upon completion of the acquisition, East Exploration Pty Ltd will become a 100% owned and controlled subsidiary of Davenport Resources Limited. East Exploration Pty Ltd’s wholly owned and controlled subsidiary East Exploration GmbH will therefore also become a 100% indirectly owned and controlled subsidiary of Davenport Resources Limited.

(b) ERCOSPLAN Consultancy Services Agreement

On 30 September 2015 East Exploration entered into a client/consultant services agreement with ERCOSPLAN Ingenieurgesellschaft Geotechnik und Bergbau mbH (“ERCOSPLAN”) for the provision of consulting services in respect of East Exploration’s South Harz Project in the Republic of Germany (“the Consulting Agreement”).

231

ERCOSPLAN will complete tasks including defining possible drill hole locations within the project (Task 1), preparation of a drilling request for proposals (Task 2), provision of an evaluation of the proposals received and assisting with drilling preparation (Task 3). ERCOSPLAN shall exercise all due care, skill and diligence in the performance of its obligations under the Consulting Agreement.

East Exploration has agreed to pay ERCOSPLAN €91,400 (“the Sum”) (excluding taxes) for completion of Tasks 1, 2 and 3. Payment is directly attributable to completion of defined milestones in respect of the Tasks. East Exploration was required to pay 25% of the Sum on the date of execution of the Consulting Agreement. A further 20% of the Sum is payable upon ERCOSPLAN providing East Exploration maps and a memorandum upon completion of Task 1. A further 25% of the Sum is payable upon a detailed design and request for proposals in respect of the project being provided to East Exploration. The final 30% is payable upon completion and distribution of proposals to potential drilling contractors. Each of the aforementioned amounts become payable 10 banking days after the occurrence of each milestone.

The Consulting Agreement allows East Exploration to engage ERCOSPLAN to complete services beyond the scope of those set out within the Consulting Agreement (defined in as Additional Services and Exceptional Services). The engagement and completion of any further services is subject to the scope and cost of such further services being agreed between East Exploration and ERCOSPLAN. Where a breach of the terms of the Consulting Agreement is established against a party, that party is liable to pay compensation to the other party. The compensation payable is capped at the total payable under the Consulting Agreement, plus any additional expense for efforts expended proved by the affected party.

East Exploration may terminate the Consulting Agreement where ERCOSPLAN is shown to have offered, given, received or solicited anything of value or misrepresented facts with a view of influencing the behaviour or action of anyone in the selection process or conduct of the Consulting Agreement.

East Exploration may also terminate the Consulting Agreement where it receives written notice from ERCOSPLAN that the scope or duration services to be provided must be increased or that it would be irresponsible or impossible for ERCOSPLAN to complete the services or where completion of the services is delayed by longer than 30 calendar days. Where East Exploration terminates the Consulting Agreement it is liable to pay ERCOSPLAN only for work completed up to termination.

The Consulting Agreement otherwise contains terms consistent with similar arrangements such as provisions relating to confidentiality, the independent status of both parties, the retention of copyright rights by East Exploration over all data and documents prepared by ERCOSPLAN in completing the services under the Consulting Agreement, disputes being determined under German law and the

232

right of ERCOSPLAN to reference the project and the work it completes under the Consulting Agreement.

Details of shares and milestone shares to be issued to by Directors or the proposed Director, or their respective associates, and their respective existing holdings, are set out in Section 6.4

14 ~~.~~ 6 Rights and liabilities attaching to ordinary shares

The shares to be issued under the Equity Offer are all fully paid ordinary shares.

A total of 36,458,333 fully paid ordinary shares are to be issued under the Vendor Offer.

The shares offered under this Prospectus will be fully paid ordinary shares in the issued capital of the Company and will, upon issue, rank equally with all other shares then on issue.

The rights and liabilities attaching to shares are regulated by the Company’s Constitution, the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Rules and common law. The following is a summary of the more significant rights and obligations attaching to the shares. This summary is not

238

exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

Further details of the rights attaching to shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours. A copy can also be downloaded from the Company’s website at (www.davenportresources.com.au/constitution)

General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company, in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative.

For so long as the Company remains a listed entity, shareholders will be entitled to receive at least 28 days’ prior written notice of any proposed general meeting.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with Section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.

Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at a general meeting of shareholders or a class of shareholders:

  • On a show of hands, every person present who is a shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a shareholder has one vote; and

  • On a poll, every person present who is a shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid share held by him or her, or in respect of which he or she is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the share, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total ofsuch shares registered in the shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Board may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such shares.

239

No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Board may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Board, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may implement a dividend reinvestment plan which provides for any dividend which the Board may declare from time to time, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of shares to be issued to the relevant shareholder.

Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he or she considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

Shareholder liability

As the shares offered this Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Company and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

Transfer of Shares

Generally, shares are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.

Variation of rights

The rights attaching to shares may only be varied or cancelled by the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of shareholders or with the written consent of holders of three quarters of all

240

shares on issue. A special resolution is passed only where approved by at least 75% of all votes cast (and entitled to be cast) on the resolution at the meeting.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the authorisation by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

Alteration of Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of shareholders present and voting at the general meeting.

SECURITIES AND OTHER INTERESTS

4 NUMBER OF SECURITIES

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

4.1 The total number of Securities which may be issued under this Plan from time to time is the number which is 10% (ten percent) of the number of Shares on issue at the time of issue of the Security.

4.2 For the purposes of clause 4.1 a Share issued on exercise of an Option or exercise or conversion of an Other Interest is not to be counted in determining the number of Securities issued under this Plan.

4.3 For the purposes of clause 4.1 an Option or an Other Interest which has been exercised or converted, or which has lapsed or been cancelled, is not to be counted in determining the number of Securities issued under this Plan after the Option or Other Interest is exercised, lapses or cancelled.

4.4 For the purposes of clause 4.1 a Security which lapses before vesting is not to be counted in determining the number of Securities issued under this Plan after the Security lapses.

4.5 For the purposes of clause 4.1 where the invitation or offer in respect of a Security specified the proposed issue of the Security would not occur or wold be deferred until or unless an event occurred, a condition (which may be the non-occurrence of an event) was satisfied and/or a period of time passed and the proposed issue was cancelled or be deemed to have been cancelled in accordance with the terms of the invitation or offer and/or this Plan, the Security is not to be counted in determining the number of Securities issued under this Plan.

4.6 For the purposes of clause 4.1 the number of Securities represented by an Option or an Other Interest is the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise or conversion of the Option or Other Interest. If the terms of issue of an Other Interest do not provide for a fixed number of Shares to be issued or it is otherwise not possible to establish at the time of the applicable invitation or offer the exact number of Shares that would be issued upon exercise or conversion of the Other Interest:

  • a. the maximum number of Shares which may be issued if all conditions of exercise or conversion of the Other Interest were to be satisfied shall be counted for the purposes of clause 4.1; and

  • b. the Directors may specify a number of Shares for the purposes of clause 4.1, on the basis of a reasonable estimate of the factor to be included in the calculation of the number of Shares which would be issued (for example, if the price of Shares at the time of exercise or conversion is a factor in the calculation, by using a price representing the price of Shares current at the time

248

an invitation or offer is made in the absence of a minimum price or other determinant of price affecting the calculation).

5 TYPES OF SECURITIES

5.1 The Company may issue Securities of any type provided for in this Plan. The choice of the type of Security or Securities for which an invitation or offer is made, or which is issued to an Eligible Person, shall be at the Board’s discretion.

5.2 The type of Security which is the subject of an invitation or offer shall be specified in the applicable invitation or offer.

6 LOANS

6.1 Subject to the Corporations Act, the Company may, at its discretion and without being obliged to do so, offer or make loans to Eligible Persons to assist acquiring or for the purpose of acquiring Securities under the Plan.

6.2 The terms of any loan offered under clause 6.1 will be set out or incorporated by reference into the invitation or offer of the Securities (provide that if the terms of the loan are incorporated by reference, without limiting the other ways a copy may be made available, the Board will make a copy available to the named recipient of the invitation or offer within a reasonable period of a written request to do so). Unless the invitation or offer includes provision for an election by the recipient to acquire the Securities without the loan (for example by making payment for the Securities from the recipient’s own funds) and the recipient so elects including fulfilling any requirement of such election, acceptance of the issue of Securities to which the invitation or offer applied will constitute acceptance of and an agreement to be bound by the terms of the loan.

6.3 Each certificate for Securities issued under this Plan or other document (if any) shall include a statement or be endorsed with a statement that this Plan apply to the Securities evidenced by the document, but this Plan shall still apply despite any failure to include or endorse such a statement on a certificate or other document where an invitation or offer made under this Plan is accepted.

PARTICIPATION IN THIS PLAN

7 ELIGIBILITY AND ENTITLEMENT

7.1 Subject to the listing rules of ASX (if applicable) and this Plan, the Board (with the advice of the remuneration committee, if any) shall determine from time to time:

249

  • a. the number and type of Securities (if any) an Eligible Person be made an invitation or offer to apply for and acquire under this Plan;

  • b. the terms of issue of the Securities;

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

  • c. whether any sum is to be payable for the issue of the Securities, whether prior to, at the time of or after the issue of the Securities;

  • d. whether any loan will be proposed or made in connection with the acquisition; and

  • e. (where applicable) the expiry date, any applicable vesting date or dates, and the exercise price of Options or Other Interests to be offered.

7.2 If the Board determines that Securities are to be offered to an Eligible Person, that Eligible Person shall be invited to apply in his or her name or in the name of his or her nominee (provided such nominee is approved by the Board) for all or part of the Securities offered to that person. The Company shall issue the agreed number of Securities following receipt (within the time, if any, specified in the invitation) of the application and, if applicable, payment of any sum specified for the issue of the Securities.

7.3 An invitation or offer of Securities may specify that the proposed issue of the Securities will not occur or will be deferred until or unless an event occurs, a condition (which may be the nonoccurrence of an event) is satisfied and/or a period of time passes. Until the issue of the Securities the Eligible Person has no claim to the Securities or any Shares that would be issued upon exercise or conversion of an Option or Other Security, and the proposed issue will be deemed to have been cancelled in accordance with the terms of the invitation or offer and/or this Plan.

7.4 The Board of Directors retains the right to withdraw an invitation or offer at any time prior to receiving an application from the person to whom the invitation or offer was made, or that person’s nominee.

7.5 It is a term of any invitation or offer that it may not be accepted by a person who is not an Eligible Person or who is a person to whom securities cannot be offered or issued without disclosure under the Corporations Act. The making or acceptance of an invitation or offer, or the issue of Securities, does not result in or deem a person to be an Eligible Person or to be a person to whom securities cannot be offered or issued without disclosure under the Corporations Act.

8 ACCEPTANCE

8.1 The Company shall accept and treat as valid any application or acceptance in response to an invitation or offer provided that the application accords, in all respects, with this Plan, is for the number of Securities to which the Eligible Person is entitled, the recipient has performed or otherwise satisfied all requirements under or applicable to the invitation or offer, and the invitation or offer has

250

not been withdrawn. The Company is not otherwise bound to issue Securities notwithstanding that a person may have received an invitation or offer.

8.2 Upon acceptance of application the Company shall deliver a certificate or other record of holding in respect of the Securities granted to the Eligible Person within 20 business days unless the Eligible Person has agreed to the Company or third party retaining or receiving the certificate or record of holdings.

8.3 Each Eligible Person (and, if applicable, his or her nominee) will be taken to agree to be bound by this Plan upon the acceptance of an invitation or offer from the Board to take up Securities under this Plan.

8.4 If the Company is admitted to the official list of ASX, the recipient of Securities issued under this Plan agrees to complete, execute and comply with any restriction agreement necessary to satisfy the requirements of ASX.

9.3 Without limitation, the terms of issue of a Share may specify that the Share is not able to be transferred, disposed of or encumbered until one or more conditions (which may include the passage of time to the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event) are fulfilled or an amount is paid to the Company, or that (subject to the Corporations Act) Shares must be transferred as directed by the Company or sold back, whether or not for any consideration or compensation, upon the occurrence of an event or if an event does not occur (whether by a particular date or otherwise).

251

OPTIONS

10 TERMS OF OPTIONS ISSUED UNDER THIS PLAN

10.1 Unless otherwise specified in the terms of an offer under this Plan, no amount is payable for a grant of Options.

10.2 Each Option shall carry the right in favour of an Option holder to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary Share in the capital of the Company.

10.3 Each Option expires at 5.00 pm (Melbourne, Victoria time) on the expiry date specified in the terms of issue of that Option, subject to earlier expiration, lapse or cancellation in accordance with the terms of this Plan.

10.4 Options may only be exercised if permitted by this Plan and on the terms of issue. Options cannot be exercised unless vested in accordance with the terms of issue.

10.5 The exercise price of each Option shall be as specified in the terms of issue of that Option. The exercise price shall be payable in full on exercise of the Option by the Holder.

10.6 The Company may permit cashless exercise of options, at the discretion of the Board.

10.7 Options shall be exercisable by the delivery to the registered office of the Company of a notice in writing stating the intention of the Option holder to exercise all or a specified number of Options, accompanied by the relevant Option certificate (if any) and a cheque made payable to the Company for the exercise price of all the Options exercised, or by such other method as the Company may specify (whether at the time of issue or otherwise).

10.8 An exercise of only some Options shall not affect the rights of the Option holder under the balance of the Options held by him or her.

10.9 If an Option is exercised in accordance with this Plan and its terms of issue, the Company shall issue the resultant Share and deliver notification of shareholding within forty (40) business days of the exercise of an Option or such longer time as may be permitted under the listing rules of ASX (if applicable) and the Company’s Constitution.

252

10.10 Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Options shall rank equally with existing Shares of the Company in all respects from the date of issue of the Share. If admitted to the official list of ASX at the time of issue of the Share, the Company will apply for official quotation by ASX of the Shares issued upon exercise of an Option, subject to any restriction obligations imposed by ASX.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

10.11 Options may not be transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt with except in accordance with clause 12 of this Plan.

10.12 The Company is not bound to recognise any transfer or assignment of Options unless made in accordance with clause 12 of this Plan and then only if a copy of the duly executed instrument of assignment or transfer is lodged with the Company.

10.13 Holders of Options which have vested will be permitted to participate in any new pro-rata issue of securities of the Company subject to the prior exercise of the Options and any restriction obligations. The Company will ensure that Option holders will be allowed at least seven business days notice to allow for the conversion of Options prior to the record date in relation to any offer of securities made to shareholders.

10.14 In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company:

  • a. if at the time of the reconstruction any securities of the Company are admitted to quotation by the ASX or another stock exchange, the Options will be reorganised in accordance with the listing rules or their equivalent applying at the time of the reorganisation; or

  • b. if at the time of the reconstruction no securities of the Company are admitted to quotation by the ASX or other stock exchange, the Options will be reorganised in the same proportion as the underlying ordinary shares (in such a way as not to cause a change in the total exercise price for a post reconstruction holding of Options, disregarding the effect of any fractions or rounding).

Note: That is, in the case referred to in clause 10.14(b), if ordinary shares are reconstructed by each share being divided into four shares, if a pre-reconstruction Option to acquire one ordinary share was exercisable at two dollars, it will be divided into four Options each to acquire one post-reconstruction ordinary share at an exercise price of 50 cents each. The other terms and conditions of the Options will remain unchanged.

10.15 The Options will not give any right to participate in dividends until Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise of the relevant Options.

253

10.16 Options issued under this Plan do not confer upon the holder a right to receive notices of general meetings (except as may be required by law), nor any right to attend, speak at or vote at general meetings of the Company.

==> picture [64 x 636] intentionally omitted <==

10.17 If offered and issued after the Company is admitted to the official list of ASX, any Options offered and issued shall:

  • a. have an exercise price of not less than the average closing trading price of the Company’s listed Shares on the five trading days prior to issuing invitations or offers to accept Options under this Plan;

  • b. have an expiry date not later than five years after the date of issue; and

  • c. vest at such times as the Board (with the advice of the remuneration committee) may specify in the applicable invitation to accept an offer of the Options, each of which shall be deemed to form part of the terms of issue of the Options.

11 EXERCISE PERIOD & LAPSE OF OPTIONS

11.1 Options lapse and cannot be exercised after the earlier of the expiry date specified in their terms of issue or the date determined in accordance with clause 13 of this Plan in respect of the applicable Eligible Person.

11.2 If the Company is admitted to the official list of ASX, Options may only be exercised during a restriction period in accordance with the terms of the restriction and the ASX listing rules.

12 LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY & DEALINGS

12.1 Save as otherwise provided in this clause 12, Options are personal to the Eligible Person and are not transferable or assignable and may only be exercised in accordance with this Plan. No Option issued under this Plan shall be capable of being mortgaged, pledged or encumbered in any way whatsoever.

12.2 Subject to clause 12.3 of this Plan and provided that the prior written consent of the Board is obtained (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), clause 12.1 shall not prevent an Option from being transferred or assigned:

  • a. by will or by operation of the laws of succession following the Eligible Person’s death; or

  • b. in accordance with a direction of the Board upon the incapacity of the Eligible Person; or

  • c. to a spouse or an associated trust or company within the meaning of former section 26AAB(14) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.

  • a. where an Eligible Person dies and at the date of his or her death that Eligible Person (and his or her nominees) held any Unexercised Options, such Options may be exercised by the legal personal representatives of the Option holder (or, if applicable, his or her nominees) within 12 months of the date of the Eligible Person’s death (subject to the earlier expiry or lapse of the Options); or

  • e. where an Eligible Person ceases to be an Eligible Person by reason of the Company terminating the Eligible Person’s contract of service in circumstances where the Eligible Person has committed gross misconduct, gross negligence, wilful disobedience or due to any other cause or matter which entitles the Company to dismiss the Eligible Person without notice and on the date the Eligible Person ceases to be an Eligible Person, the Eligible Person (and his or her nominees) held any Unexercised Options, such Options shall immediately and automatically lapse and the right of the Eligible Person (and his or her nominees) to exercise those Unexercised Options shall terminate immediately upon dismissal of the Eligible Person; or

  • f. where Options have been assigned in accordance with the terms of this Plan and an event has occurred in respect of the original Option holder (or, in the event that the original Option holder was a nominee of an Eligible Person, then that Eligible Person) of the nature referred to in the foregoing paragraphs of this clause 13.1, the person then the Option holder at that time shall only be entitled to exercise the Unexercised Options within the same time limits (if any) specified in the respective paragraph of this clause 13.1, and otherwise the Unexercised Options shall lapse.

13.2 If at the relevant time any securities of the Company are admitted to quotation by the ASX or other stock exchange, subject to compliance with the listing rules (particularly but not only listing rule 6.23 or its equivalent, if applicable), the Board may, in its discretion, extend the time periods in, or waive the application of any provision of, clause 13.1 of this Plan, but not so as to extend the expiry date of an Option beyond the expiry date specified in its terms of issue.

13.3 Nothing in clauses 13.1 and 13.2 of this Plan shall be taken to permit an Option to be exercised after its expiry date specified in its terms of issue and any reference to a date in those clauses shall be taken to be a reference to the earlier of that date or the expiry date of the relevant option or options.

14 ~~.~~ 10 Dividends and forecasts of future earnings

The Directors do not envisage that Davenport will be in a position to declare dividends for the foreseeable future.

The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings beyond the expected listing date on the basis that the anticipated operations of the Company after the completion of the acquisition of East Exploration are inherently uncertain. Any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.

258

14 ~~.~~ 11 Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of shares in Davenport will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in Davenport are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally. If you are in doubt as to the course you should follow, you should consult your accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Davenport, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability or responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for shares under this Prospectus.
