3.6 Wescone Business

(a) Background

Wescone is a privately owned Australian company. The primary business activity of Wescone comprises the design, manufacture, supply and service of proprietary sample crushing equipment.

The Wescone business has a successful 25-year operating track record of supply of its W300 sample crusher globally although predominantly to the WA resources sector.

Wescone W300 sample crushers are used extensively throughout the "run of mine" and port loading materials handling infrastructure in the Pilbara iron ore operations of both BHP and Rio Tinto. The Wescone W300 sample crusher is used to crush run of mine and port loading ore samples that are subsequently assay tested to assist with blending optimisation of ship loaded ore grade and impurity composition.

Wescone owns all designs, component patterns, moulds, assembly jigs and intellectual property associated with its electrically powered W-300 high speed rotating cone sample crusher which has been used by mining and assay laboratory businesses in Western Australia and internationally for over 20 years.

==> picture [242 x 190] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1 - W300/2 Sample Crusher Installations

The W300 sample crusher and component designs are developed "in house" and, to date, Wescone has developed three successive W300 sample crushers, each an improvement on the preceding model. The most recent incarnation of the W300 sample crusher (the Series 3 – "W300/3") was released in 2017 to replace the now superseded "W300/2" sample crusher.

The W300/3 (refer to Figure 2 below) weighs 228kgs and is approximately 55cm x 55cm square and 65cm high. The crusher is supplied as a single equipment unit and is driven by a 9kW electric motor.

11

==> picture [273 x 182] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2 - W300/3 Sample Crusher

The W300 sample crusher is the only high-speed sample cone crusher of its size and capability available globally and, to date, approximately 300 W300 crushers have been supplied in the resources industry based on an equipment sale and service business model. Approximately 200 W300 Wescone sample crushers are in operation in Australia and overseas.

Wescone does not perform any crushing of material on its own account and solely supplies the sample crushing equipment and performs service maintenance on each individual crusher supplied as needed.

The Wescone W300 sample crusher has numerous positive performance characteristics providing for its extensive use throughout the Pilbara iron-ore industry. These include:

  • (i) best in class single pass reduction ratio;

  • (ii) simple, robust design features and related protection;

  • (iii) high throughput performance;

  • (iv) low mass achieving ease of installation and maintenance performance;

  • (v) high availability and reliability – low normalised life-cycle maintenance costs; and

  • (vi) reliable, prompt and consistent ongoing service and supply from Perth domiciled workshop facilities.

(b) Existing Customers

Wescone's existing customers include BHP, Rio Tinto, Iscor, FMG, MIM, BGC, BHP Nickel West, Port of Esperance and Hancock Prospecting (Roy Hill).

==> picture [78 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

12

Wescone also supplies the W300 crusher into South Africa and Canada via agency arrangements.

(c)

Financial Performance

The Wescone business has operated profitably for over 20 years and has delivered an average EBIT over the last five years of approximately $600,000. All research and development costs have been historically expensed.

The statement of financial position of Wescone as at the effective date, being 31 December 2017, will be as follows:

Description $Million
Total Assets 0.65
Total Liabilities 0.03
NetAssets /Equity 0.62

Refer to Schedule 2 for further details.

(d) Business Model Transition

The Company and Act6 have agreed that Wescone will work with its customers to transition its business model from the historical equipment sale and service revenue model to a "serviced equipment rental" model.

This will align the Wescone business model with that of the Company and provide for improved future supply sustainability for Wescone customers as the business transitions ownership. The change in business model will also provide customers with reduced maintenance costs at the time of transition and reduced capital costs (as customers no longer need to purchase W300 sample crushers).

3.7 Capital Raising

The Company is proposing to raise $4,750,000 (before costs) through the offer of 1,900,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.0025 per Share ( Capital Raising Shares ) to certain professional and sophisticated investors ( Capital Raising ).

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has received firm commitments for 100% of the Capital Raising. It is proposed that Mr Adam Boyd and the ECM Parties, the largest Shareholders, will, subject to Shareholders passing Resolutions 4 and 5 respectively, participate in the Capital Raising.

The professional and sophisticated investors who have committed to the Capital Raising have done so on the basis that Mr Adam Boyd and the ECM Parties will be participating in the Capital Raising to the extent detailed in Sections 7 and 8.

The purpose of the Capital Raising is as follows:

  • (a) to fund the consideration requirements for the Wescone Acquisition; and

  • (b) permit the Company to maintain a sufficient level of working capital following completion of the Wescone Acquisition (on the basis that none of the Company's existing cash reserves will be utilised for the Wescone Acquisition) to continue with the ATEN commercialization and "roll out".

Refer to Section 6 for further details of the Capital Raising.

13

3.8 Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position

The pro forma statement of financial position for the Company upon completion of the Proposed Transactions is detailed in Schedule 2.

3.9 Advantages of the Wescone Acquisition

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's determination on how to vote on the Resolutions:

(a) Acquisition of an established and growing business operating in the resources industry

The Wescone Acquisition provides Shareholders with exposure to a wellestablished and improving business operating in the resources industry. The Wescone Acquisition will place the Company in a stronger financial position and improve the Company’s competitive capacity, technical capability, market presence and business development position. Ownership of the Wescone business is expected to deliver the opportunity to:

  • (i) expand the sales reach of Wescone to other resource sector active markets globally and new industry supply niches;

  • (ii) expand the Company’s client relationship reach to assist with crossselling its growing product offering and provide access to new future opportunities; and

  • (iii) enhance the Company’s technical design, engineering and workshop fabrication capabilities.

(b) Complementary to the existing business of the Company

The Wescone business is of a complementary nature to the Company's existing business on the following basis:

  • (i) Wescone has recently adopted a rental contract revenue model which is similar to the Company's existing business strategy with all equipment to be supplied pursuant to medium to long term rental contracts based on time and performance;

  • (ii) Wescone has a resource and industrial market sector focus and competitively advantaged equipment supply strategy similar to the Company's existing strategic ATEN and EcoQuip business objectives; and

  • (iii) Wescone offers significant cross-selling opportunity for the portfolio of the ATEN and EcoQuip offerings to the resource sector in Australia and globally.

(c) Potential to enhance Shareholder value

The Directors consider that there is a greater likelihood of increasing Shareholder value by proceeding with the Wescone Acquisition and expanding the Company’s footprint and business presence in the resources industry.

14

3.10 Disadvantages of the Wescone Acquisition

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's determination on how to vote on the Resolutions:

(a) New Business

Following completion of the Wescone Acquisition, whilst continuing to operate its existing operations, the Company will devote management attention and may devote funding to the acquired business.

(b) Dilution

On the basis that the Capital Raising is fully subscribed, the issue of the Capital Raising Shares and the issue of the Consideration Shares will have a dilutionary effect of 24.4% on the current voting rights of Shareholders. Consequently, existing Shareholder' voting power and influence over the affairs of the Company will be reduced.

(c) Risk factors

Shareholders should be aware that if the Wescone Acquisition is approved and completed, the Company will be changing the nature and scale of its activities and will be subject to the risks associated with the ownership and operation of the Wescone business. Based on the information available, a non-exhaustive list of risk factors that will be applicable to the Company post the Wescone Acquisition (having regard to its existing business) is detailed in Schedule 3.

3.11 The EcoQuip Investment

(a) EcoQuip Agreements

In addition to the Wescone Agreement, the Company has entered into agreements with EcoQuip pursuant to which the Company will acquire a 50% interest in the total issued share capital of EcoQuip ( EcoQuip Agreements ).

In consideration for acquiring a 50% interest in EcoQuip, the Company will:

  • (i) issue the EcoQuip vendor such number of Shares having the value of $150,000 (based on the lesser of the 5-day VWAP of Shares prior to completion or $0.003 per Share); and

  • (ii) pay $1,000,000 to EcoQuip for the subscription for new EcoQuip Shares at completion.

The completion of the EcoQuip Investment is subject to the satisfaction and/or waiver of a number of conditions precedent, including the execution of a services agreement, shareholders agreement and the assignment of all intellectual property rights currently used or held by third parties.

ASX has advised the Company that Listing Rule 11.1.2 does not apply to the EcoQuip Investment (refer to Section 3.4 for further details).

The EcoQuip Investment is being considered by the Company independently of the Wescone Acquisition.

(b) EcoQuip's Business

15

EcoQuip is a privately owned Australian business established in 2010. EcoQuip’s primary activity comprises the design, manufacture, supply and service of a mobile solar powerbox trailer incorporating a robust military specification retractable tower for LED lighting, Wi-Fi repeater and CCTV retro-fit (MSPT).

==> picture [344 x 161] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3 - EcoQuip MSPT LED Lighting Tower (Gen3)

The MSPT uses solar panels for energy supply and Li-Ion batteries for energy storage. The Company believes that the MSPT's "fit for purpose" design focus, rigorous equipment due diligence and selection, control system optimisation and robust assembly quality control has achieved a robust, reliable and disruptive equipment solution.

The MSPT (in all retro-fit solution forms) has been specifically designed to withstand mining industry conditions, usage demands and reliability requirements.

The EcoQuip MSPT LED lighting tower solution is seeking to target the displacement of all diesel fueled lighting tower market alternatives.

(c) Existing EcoQuip Fleet

EcoQuip currently has a fleet of 25 MSPT LED lighting and communication towers deployed across Western Australia pursuant to contract rental arrangements with significant construction and resource services companies. These include Thiess Contracting, John Holland, Aerobotics and NRW. EcoQuip is also supplying mobile lighting solutions to AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited.

4.2 Listing Rule 11.1

Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules requires Shareholders to approve any significant change in the nature or scale of an ASX listed company's activities. Completion of the Wescone Acquisition (when considered in conjunction with the Capital Raising) will have the effect of changing the nature and scale of the Company's activities.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to allow the Company to complete the Wescone Acquisition thereby changing the nature and scale of its activities. The Wescone Acquisition, if approved by Shareholders at the Meeting and successfully completed, will result in a change in nature and scale of the activities undertaken by the Company to include the business operated by Wescone.

Where an ASX listed company seeks to change nature and scale of its activities, it must:

  • (a) under Listing Rule 11.1.1, notify ASX of the proposed change; and

  • (b) under Listing Rule 11.1.2, obtain shareholder approval to undertake the change, if required by ASX.

Having regard to the Proposed Transactions, ASX has advised that the Wescone Acquisition and Capital Raising (with or without the EcoQuip Investment) constitute transactions which require Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 11.1.2.

Schedule 3 – Risk Factors

Risks specific to the Company and Wescone

(a) Integration Risk of the Wescone Acquisition and EcoQuip Investment

The operating results of the Company will depend on the success of management in integrating the proposed acquisition of Wescone and the investment in EcoQuip. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to integrate this proposed acquisition into the Company successfully, or that any economic benefits will be able to be realised. There is a risk that the Company’s future profitability and prospects could be adversely impacted if successful integration is not achieved in an orderly and timely fashion.

(b) Future Capital Needs and Additional Funding

The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the Capital Raising should be adequate to fund its business development activities, business plan and other Company objectives in the short to medium term as detailed in this Explanatory Memorandum. Changes to operational requirements, market conditions and business opportunities may mean further funding is required by the Company and/ or a business unit at an earlier stage than is currently anticipated.

Should the Company require additional funding there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Any inability to obtain additional funding, if required, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and its financial condition and performance and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

(c) Change in Wescone Business Model

Wescone's business will, subject to the completion of the Wescone Acquisition, transition to a contract "serviced rental" revenue and maintenance model, to align with the Company's existing business.

There is a risk that the change in Wescone's business model may affect the profitability of the Wescone business as maintenance and sales revenues will be displaced by the introduction of new rental crushers to replace those requiring maintenance or new sales.

(d) Intellectual Property Ownership

The Company owns intellectual property, design copyright and innovations with respect to its ATEN Technology and following the completion of the Wescone Acquisition and EcoQuip Investment, however legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available to the Company in every country in which the ATEN technology, Wescone and/or EcoQuip assets are presently or eventually launched and deployed. Accordingly, despite its efforts, the Company may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating its intellectual property.

Market conditions depending, the Company may be required to incur significant expenses in monitoring and protecting its intellectual property rights. It may initiate or otherwise be involved in litigation against third parties for infringement,

or to establish the validity, of its rights. Any litigation, whether or not it is successful, could result in significant expense to the Company and cause a distraction to management.

(e)

Technology Performance and Operating Risk

The Opcon Powerbox has been designed and deployed in Europe where climatic conditions differ significantly from those in Australia, where the Company intends to operate initially. There is a risk that Australian conditions may make the equipment less reliable. Whilst the equipment is robust because of its simplicity, the risk still exists that lower reliability would require a more frequent and more expensive maintenance program.

The interconnection works and infrastructure required to connect a Powerbox to heat, electrical and other service are expected to differ for each installation to a varying degree. There is a risk that the interconnection or infrastructure requirements at individual installations will present unique or unforseen complexity. If this proves to be the case, design and construction modifications may be required causing delays in generating cash flows and at additional cost.

(f)

Faults with the ATEN Technology

There is a risk that following a detailed review of the ATEN technology that the Company will identify defects or errors in the technology. If that occurs, the Company could lose future sales or customers or incur consequential liabilities. Consequently, there is a risk that this will affect the viable technical and/or commercial operation of the ATEN technology.

(g) Construction, Execution and Related Costs Overruns

There is a risk that the future construction may not be completed in the expected timeframe or in sufficient numbers to supply demand which may lead to costly delays. Whilst the technology being utilised by the Company is well established and has been extensively tested, as with any commercial project, scale up and operating risks exist. Any delay in construction or operating issues may have a significant adverse impact on the Company's future financial performance. Furthermore, increases in labour costs and key components such as steel could result in increased construction costs which could then be passed on to the Company.

(h) Introduction to New or Alternate Technologies

Alternative technologies may be developed that could affect the demand for the ATEN technology, Wescone W300 crusher and/or EcoQuip MSPT solutions and make these technologies non-competitive or obsolete in the future.

(i) Commodity and Power Pricing Risk

There is a risk that the revenue of the Company could be adversely affected by adverse movements in both resource sector commodity prices and electricity prices. Furthermore, the Company's revenue could also be adversely affected by decreases in the use and price of fossil fuels (for example diesel and natural gas) to generate electricity.

(j) Counterparty Risk

It is the intention of the Company to enter into agreements with customers for the sale of electricity, and rental of equipment. There is a risk that these potential customers may not be able to meet their obligations under these agreements and continue their operations.

(k) Future Funding Availability Risk

The Company’s funding requirements depend on numerous factors including the Company’s ability to generate income from its business endeavours, the outcome of future research and development programs and the acquisition of any new projects or acquisitions. The Company may require further funding in addition to current cash reserves to fund future activities or the acquisition of new projects. Additional equity financing, if available, may be dilutive to shareholders and/or occur at prices lower than the market price. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations.

(l) Reliance on Key Management

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment. The Company's future ability to recruit and retain highly qualified management personnel will also be critical to its success.

(m) Insurance

The Company may, where economically practicable and available, endeavour to mitigate some project and business risks by procuring relevant insurance cover. However, such insurance cover may not always be available or economically justifiable and the policy provisions and exclusions may render a particular claim by the Company outside the scope of the insurance cover.

While the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in assessing the creditworthiness of its insurance providers there will remain the risk that an insurer defaults in payment of a legitimate claim by the Company under an insurance policy.

(n) Development of New Assets and Technology

There are many risks inherent with the development of new assets and technology, including but not limited to exposure to construction, execution, commissioning and operational risks should the Company decide to proceed with the development. In addition, there is a risk that the development of new assets and technology may not result in a successful outcome to the Company due to various reasons.

(o) Competition Risk

The Company operates in a developing market. There may be competitors that enter the market and this may adversely affect the Company's future financial performance and profitability.

(p) Contract Risks

The Company's subsidiaries may operate through a series of contractual relationships with operators and sub-contractors. All contracts carry risks associated with the performance by the parties thereto of their obligations as to time and quality of work performed. Any disruption to services or supply may have an adverse effect on the financial performance of the Company’s operations.

(q) Equipment Risk

The operations of the Company could be adversely affected if essential equipment fails.

(r) Litigation

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are presently involved in litigation and the Directors are not aware of any basis on which any litigation against the Company or any of its subsidiaries may arise.

General Risks

(a) Securities investments

There are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the securities of the Company trade may fluctuate in response to a number of factors. Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for energy companies, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. There can be no guarantee that trading prices will be sustained. These factors may materially affect the market price of the securities of the Company regardless of its operational performance.

(b) Share Market Conditions

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's Shares regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (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;

  • (vi) terrorism or other hostilities; and

  • (vii) other factors beyond the control of the company.

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

(c) Economic Risk

Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that general economic climate include the level of direct and indirect competition against the Company, industrial disruption, the rate of growth of gross domestic product in Australia, interest rates, exchange rates and the rate of inflation.

(d) Government Policy

Changes in government, financial policy, taxation and other laws (including legislation which regulates the resource industry) may affect the ability of the Company to carry on its proposed activities, restrict the Company in achieving its objectives or may result in increased compliance costs or complexities in managing the Company’s proposed operations and activities. Changes to State or Commonwealth government, government policies or legislation cannot be predicted and could have a materially adverse effect on the Company.
