4. UPDATE ON ACTIVITIES AND PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE OFFER
4.1 Update on Activities
The Company completed the acquisition of Yowie Enterprises Pty Ltd on 17
December 2012 and was re-instated to trading on ASX on 21 December 2012.
The Company intends to exploit its intellectual property through outsourcing the
manufacture and assembly of its chocolate/toy combination products.
Since December 2012, Yowie has held initial discussions and is in the process of finalising formal documentation with a Hong Kong based company Perfect Productions (HK) Limited ( Perfect Productions ), for the production of the capsule, inclusion and information leaflet of the Company’s chocolate/toy product. Once final documentation has been executed Perfect Productions will have responsibility for the production and delivery to the manufacturing base in the USA of the capsule, inclusion and leaflet for these products.
The Company has signed key contractual agreements with an established USA confectionery manufacturer, Whetstone Chocolate Factory, Inc ( Whetstone ) based in St Augustine, Florida. The Company has successfully commissioned a wrapping machine which will now be shipped to Whetstone’s manufacturing plant in the USA for final commissioning in preparation for manufacturing trials prior to the US market rollout in November.
4.2 Future Business Development Activities
(a) Purchase of Foil Wrapping machines:
While the US manufacturing plant capacity is sufficient to meet planned volume requirement for the launch of Yowie into North America in 2013, manufacturing output is estimated to be required to increase from 18 million to 90 million units per annum to deliver US market growth targets plus supply into the Australian and New Zealand ( ANZ ) market in 2014. This will be achieved under the Company’s contractual agreement with the Whetstone Chocolate factory together with the purchase of additional wrapping machines from specialist equipment supplier Wilhelm Rasch GmbH. The delivery and installation of the first additional wrapping equipment is planned for March 2014, with a second series of wrapping equipment planned for November 2014.
(b) Building inventory stockholding:
The Company is required to maintain ongoing stockholding of
approximately 4.5 million inclusion pieces in inventory at any one time to
meet its estimated production requirements. An initial inventory
stockholding at these levels is estimated to need to be in place by April
2014. The stockholding cover is necessitated by a combination of
production lag between manufacture of capsules and inclusions in
China, allowance for shipping time to the US, product manufacturing
requirements for the US, plus projected sales growth in the US/ANZ
markets in 2014, together with a need to maintain one month’s
inventory as assurance against unexpected events.
(c) North American rollout Marketing:
The North American marketing strategy has been designed to
encourage kids, parents, guardians, carers and grandparents to
engage and interact with the Yowie brand, develop an understanding
and empathy for what the Yowie brand stands for plus nurturing a desire
8
to play and learn about the inclusion creatures and the natural world. It
is proposed to encourage consumers to collect, swap and share in a
desire to obtain a complete limited edition set of each series of natural
replica creature inclusions. The Yowie marketing campaign will focus on
creating in store impact and presence through compelling display and
activity from point of sale to sampling trials, supported by a value
enhancing digital experience that invites consumers into the world of
the Yowie products. The marketing plan includes the creation of a
significant advocacy campaign through social media, ecology
organisations and affiliates and key celebrity endorsers.
4.3 Purpose of the Offer
As indicated in section 3.2 above, the Company intends to use the funds
received under the Offer to accelerate the roll-out of its products principally by:
-
(a) purchasing additional wrapping machines to increase the Company’s existing capacity; -
(b) increasing its stock inventory to ensure it maintains the necessary stock levels to facilitate its ongoing and expanded roll-out of its products; -
(c) funding the marking campaign associated with the continued roll-out of its products, initially focussing on in the US confectionary market; and -
(d) providing working capital to enable the Company to meet its ongoing administrative expensive.
Funds raised from this Prospectus are intended to be used in the manner set out
in the table below[4]:

Notes
1. Purchase of the initial wrapping machine is projected for March 2014, while it is currently anticipated that the second machine will be acquired in November 2014.
2. Refer to Section 7.6 of this Prospectus for details of the estimated expenses of the Offer.
9
3. Funds raised in excess of the minimum but less than the maximum will first be applied to inventory, meeting the additional expenses and then to working capital.
4. The use of funds described above represents to the current intention of the Company. Intervening events and developments within the Company may alter how these funds are ultimately used and applied.
Funds raised in excess of the Minimum Subscription will first be applied to the
additional expenses of the Offer and then equally to creation of inventory,
rolling out the Company’s US marketing strategy and the Company’s purchase
of chocolate foil, cartons and trays. Excess funds will then be allocated to
working capital and to the funding of the purchase of the additional wrapping
machines scheduled for next calendar year.
Where only the Minimum Subscription is reached, the Company considers that it
will have sufficient funds at its disposal to proceed with its stated objectives,
however, it may result in a slower than preferred roll-out and expansion of the
Company’s products due to the reduced funds available for the inventory,
marketing and purchasing of additional wrapping machines.

(ii) 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 -
(iii) 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 in respect of which he 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 of such Shares registered in the Shareholder's name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
(c) Dividend rights
Subject to the rights of persons (if any) entitled to shares with special
rights to dividend the Directors may declare a final dividend out of
profits in accordance with the Corporations Act and may authorise the
payment or crediting by the Company to the Shareholders of such a
dividend. The Directors may authorise the payment or crediting by the
Company to the Shareholders of such interim dividends as appear to
the Directors to be justified by the profits of the Company. Subject to
the rights of persons (if any) entitled to shares with special rights as to
dividend all dividends are to be declared and paid according to the
13
amounts paid or credited as paid on the Shares in respect of which the
dividend is paid. Interest may not be paid by the Company in respect
of any dividend, whether final or interim.
(d) 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 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. Where an
order is made for the winding up of the Company or it is resolved by
special resolution to wind up the Company, then on a distribution of
assets to members, Shares classified by ASX as restricted securities at the
time of the commencement of the winding up shall rank in priority after
all other shares.
(e) Transfer of Shares
Generally, Shares in the Company 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
Listing Rules.
(f) Future increase in capital
The allotment and issue of any new shares is under the control of the
Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of
securities contained in the Listing Rules, the Constitution and the
Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously
conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the
Directors may issue shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion,
determine.
(g) Variation of rights
Pursuant to Section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may,
with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of
shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to shares. 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 consent in writing of the
holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if
authorized by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the
holders of the shares of that class.

6. RISK FACTORS
6.1 General
The Shares offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative.
(a) Applicants should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Shares. Potential Applicants should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which
the Company is exposed.
6.2 Industry specific
(a) Global Food Activism
Food activism may not be restricted to targeting a particular product.
Some advocate groups may be able to influence future governments to
increase regulation surrounding the chocolate toy combination
markets.
(b) Competitors
Competitors acting illegally or unethically can have profound impacts
on all companies operating within a particular industry. The chocolate
industry has been known to be extremely aggressive in some of its
marketing of products to children.
(c) Sugar and Cocoa Prices
As two of the main ingredients in chocolate, the price of sugar and
cocoa can be a major factor in the success of chocolate confectionary
production. Rising sugar and cocoa prices can reduce sales if
chocolate producers raise product prices to protect profits. This, in turn,
may negatively affect industry sale and profits.
6.3 General risks
(a) Economic
General economic conditions, introduction of tax reform, new
legislation, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency
exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s
development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund
those activities.
(b) Market conditions
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s
quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance.
Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
general economic outlook; -
introduction of tax reform or other new legislation; -
interest rates and inflation rates;
15
changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
•
-
the demand for, and supply of, capital; and -
terrorism or other hostilities.
The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject
to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in
general and retail-based 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) Additional requirements for capital
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors.
Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its
operations, the Company may be required to source additional
financing. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and
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 and scale back its development and research programmes
as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company
will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure
funding on terms favourable to the Company.
(d) Reliance on key personnel
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. Current senior management
has confirmed all key contractors and suppliers in Hong Kong, America,
England and Australia. 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.
6.4 Investment speculative
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks
faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and
others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the
financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered
under this Prospectus.
Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee
with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value
of those Shares.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly
speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding
whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.
16
7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
7.1 Continuous Disclosure Obligations
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in Section 111AC of the
Corporations Act) for the purposes of Section 713 of the Corporations Act and,
as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically,
like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any
information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to
have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.
This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms a
“transaction specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in
relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights
attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in
relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or
prospects of the issuing company.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available
information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does
not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an
initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock
exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly
available information in relation to the Company before making a decision
whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are
reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and
specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3
months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify
ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the
purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market
conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this
Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this
Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, states that:
-
(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations; -
(b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in Section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and -
(c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date: -
(i) the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with the ASIC; -
(ii) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with the ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC; and
17
(iii)any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to
ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in
Section 674(1) of the Corporations Act after the lodgement of
the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the
lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC.
Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can
be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office
hours.
Details of documents lodged with ASX since the date of lodgement of the
Company’s latest annual financial report and before the lodgement of this
Prospectus with the ASIC are set out in the table below.
