For the purpose of the Annual General Meeting, the Company has determined that all securities of the Company that are quoted securities at 7:00pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time on 26 October 2012 will be taken, for the purpose of the AGM, to be held by the persons who were registered holders at that time. Accordingly, transactions registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting.
Item 1 - Financial Report
In accordance with section 317 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) , the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Independent Audit Report of the Company will be laid before the meeting for consideration. There is no requirement for shareholders to approve those reports. However, the Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for shareholders to ask questions or make comments about those reports. Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Independent Audit Report, the Company’s accounting policies and the independence of the auditor.

Item 2 - Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 provides remuneration policy and payment details applying in the financial year for persons who were members of Key Management Personnel.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the AGM.
The vote on this resolution is advisory only and will not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Directors may take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company. If 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGM (a “spill” meeting) at which all of the Company’s directors (other than the Managing Director) cease to hold office immediately before the end of the spill meeting and resolutions to re-elect those directors to the offices be put to vote at the spill meeting. At the 2011 AGM, 90% of votes cast were in favour of adoption of the Remuneration Report.
Voting Exclusion Statement
The Company will disregard any votes cast on Item 2, or on behalf of:
-
a member of the Key Management Personnel (KMP) as disclosed in the Remuneration Report; and
-
a closely related party (such as close family members and any controlled companies) of those persons.
However, the Company will not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote:
Where the chair of the meeting is appointed as a proxy, the chair will vote all undirected proxies in favour of Item 2.
If you appoint the chair as your proxy, and you check the box consenting to the chair voting undirected proxies, then unless you include an express voting direction on your proxy form, you will be directing, and expressly consenting to, the chair voting in favour of Item 2.
Item 3 - Re-Election of Director
Mr Richard Ling was appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director on 8 May 2009.
Mr Ling holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Newcastle, Australia. He is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and the Malaysia Institute of Chartered Accountants. Mr Ling has a good understanding of corporate finance, with experience in raising funds for companies in Australia and has sought funds via the capital markets in Asia, for Tiong Nam Logistics Holdings Berhad.

In accordance with clause 6.1(e) of the Constitution he is required to retire at this Annual General Meeting, and is eligible to offer himself for election under clause 6.1(i). Mr Ling is offering himself for re-election.
