Item 1: Financial Statements and Reports
This item allows members the opportunity to consider the Financial Statements, Directors‟ Report and Auditors‟ Report of the Company. Under Section 317 of the Corporations Act the Company is required to lay these reports that together comprise the Company‟s Annual Report before its members at its Annual General Meeting.
Item 2: Re-election of Director
Under the Company‟s constitution one third of the Company‟s Directors or the number nearest to one-third, of the Company‟s longest serving Directors since the last election or re-election, and not including a Director appointed by the remaining Directors either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, must retire unless re-elected. Each retiring Director is eligible for re-election in accordance with ASX Listing Rules and the Company‟s constitution.
Resolution 1 provides for the re-election of Geoffrey Wilson as Director of the Company in accordance with the Company‟s constitution.
Item 3: Adoption of Remuneration Report
Resolution 2 provides members the opportunity to vote on the Company‟s Remuneration Report.

The Remuneration Report is contained in the Directors‟ Report. This vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

If 25% or more of the votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company‟s directors other than the managing director must go up for election. The spill resolution is an ordinary resolution.
In respect of the Remuneration Report resolution, key management personnel (whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report) and their closely related parties must not cast a vote on the Remuneration Report, unless as holders of directed proxies for shareholders eligible to vote on Resolution 2.
Key management personnel of the Company are identified as the Chairman and Directors of the Company. Their closely related parties are defined in the Corporations Act 2001, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.
