  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non‐chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

This explanatory statement forms part of the notice of Annual General Meeting.

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of XRF Scientific Limited (“ Company ”).

The Directors recommend shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.

Financial Statements and Reports

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 together with the declaration of the Directors, Directors’ report, remuneration report and the auditor’s report.

Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

1.1 General

During this item, there will be a reasonable opportunity for shareholders at the meeting to comment on, and ask questions about, the Remuneration Report which is incorporated in the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2012 annual financial report.

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, the vote on the proposed resolution is advisory only and will not bind the Directors or the Company; however the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing remuneration practices and policies.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the previous financial year was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re‐ election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re‐election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

1.2 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

XRF SCIENTIFIC LIMITED | NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2012 4

Resolution 2 – Re‐election of Director – Mr David Brown

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that at the Company’s Annual General Meeting in every year, one third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one‐third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except the Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third Annual General Meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is longer, without submitting himself or herself for re‐election.

5 XRF SCIENTIFIC LIMITED | NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2012

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Brown) recommends shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

Resolution 3 – Re‐election of Director – Mr David Kiggins

Clause 13.4 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following Annual General Meeting and is then eligible for re‐election.

Mr David Kiggins was appointed as Non‐Executive Director by the Directors on 1 May 2012.

Accordingly, Mr Kiggins will retire in accordance with clause 13.4 of the Constitution and being eligible seeks re‐election.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Kiggins) recommends shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

Resolution 4 – Re‐election of Director – Mr Fred Grimwade

Clause 13.4 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following Annual General Meeting and is then eligible for re‐election.

Mr Fred Grimwade was appointed as Non‐Executive Director by the Directors on 1 May 2012.

Accordingly, Mr Grimwade will retire in accordance with clause 13.4 of the Constitution and being eligible seeks re‐election.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Grimwade) recommends shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

Resolution 5 – Increase in Directors’ Fees

Clause 13.7 of the Constitution requires that the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the Directors (excluding salaries of executive Directors) from time to time will not exceed the sum determined by the Shareholders in general meeting and the total aggregate fixed sum will be divided between the Directors as the Directors shall determine and, in default of agreement between them, then in equal shares.

Resolution 5 seeks shareholder approval in accordance to increase the total aggregate fixed sum per annum that may be paid to non‐executive Directors from $100,000 to $400,000 per annum, an increase of $300,000.

The current limit of $100,000 was approved by shareholders at the 2008 Annual General Meeting. The Board believes that the increase is required in order to attract and retain directors of a high calibre. The size of the Board has also increased following the appointment of an additional two independent non‐executive Directors in May 2012. The Board does not propose to allocate the entire new fees limit to the current non‐executive Directors, but to provide flexibility in the timing of any future appointment of Directors.

XRF SCIENTIFIC LIMITED | NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2012 6

Resolution 6 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity

6.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may, seek Shareholder approval to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the Annual General Meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 6, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in Section 6.2 below).

The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 6 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 6 for it to be passed.

6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its Annual General Meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant Annual General Meeting:

  • a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $32,205,941 as at 31 August 2012.

The Equity Securities must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has only one class of Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: XRF).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) ‐ E

Where:

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • a) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • c) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4; and

  • d) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

  • D is 10%.

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

7 XRF SCIENTIFIC LIMITED | NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2012

6.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 6:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • i. the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • ii. if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph 6.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • i. 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • ii. the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

*The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

XRF SCIENTIFIC LIMITED | NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2012 8

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. The current shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 31 August 2012.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 31 August 2012.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  6. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • i. the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • ii. the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • i. as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new businesses (including expenses associated with such an acquisition) and general working capital; or

  • ii. as non‐cash consideration for the acquisition of new businesses, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non‐cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.
