NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S LETTER

Dear Investor

On behalf of the Directors of WHL Energy Limited (to be renamed Quantify Technology Holdings Limited) ( WHL or the Company ), I am pleased to present you with this opportunity to become a shareholder in WHL.

WHL is an ASX listed company which on 12 September 2016 announced it had signed a merger implementation agreement under which it agreed to a merger with Quantify Technology Ltd ( Quantify ) ( Transaction ).

Quantify is an unlisted Australian public company which has pioneered a unique and disruptive Internet of Things ( IoT ) technology.

Quantify is a first mover in the Internet of Things market, with a focus on intelligent building technology. It is primarily a developer of hardware and software devices that enable the monitoring and management of the next generation of internet enabled devices (such as lighting, power, heating and cooling systems) installed in buildings (the Quantify Business ).

Quantify’s patented flagship product, the Q Device, provides real-time evaluation of environmental and risk factors for building occupants, as well as proactively managing services and utilities to ensure the highest levels of efficiency are achieved – for example, maximum energy efficiency - to create truly intelligent buildings.

Quantify’s products are designed to be retrofittable, cost effective, simple, scalable, extensible, autonomous and secure, and aim to allow IoT solutions to become part of the fabric of buildings - redefining the industry standard with a view to making Quantify’s solution the platform of choice.

Quantify was incorporated in 2012 by experienced technology entrepreneur, Mark Lapins. It is headquartered in Perth and is currently planning its commercialisation strategy across the Asia Pacific region having already made key hires in that area.

Quantify has developed a strong board and management team with specialised expertise. It is proposed that Mark Lapins, Aidan Montague and Alex Paior will join the Board of WHL upon completion of the Transaction and the existing Directors of WHL will resign.

Given the Transaction will result in a material change in the nature and scale of WHL’s activities, the purpose of this Prospectus is to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and to provide WHL with funding to pursue the commercialisation strategy for the Quantify Business post Transaction.

Under this Prospectus, WHL is seeking to raise up to $5,000,000 by the issue of up to 83,333,333 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of WHL ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $0.06 per New Share, with a minimum subscription of $3,500,000 ( Equity Offer ).

This Prospectus contains information about WHL, Quantify, the Equity Offer and the Transaction. It also contains information about the potential risks of investing in WHL. I encourage you to read this Prospectus carefully and consult with your professional advisers.

On behalf of the Board of WHL, I commend this opportunity to you and look forward to welcoming you as a shareholder.

Yours sincerely

Section2
How is the
acquisition
valued?
The valuation, number of the Company’s securities to
be issued and final purchase price for Quantify was
determined through arm’s length negotiations that
took place over a number of months between the
directors of Quantify and the Directors. These
negotiations took into account, among other
qualitative factors, the following considerations:
(a)
the last prices at which Quantify raised equity
funding from third party investors;
(b)
the paid up capital of Quantify at the time
negotiations were being undertaken;

8

3191-15/1629449_1

Item Summary Further
information
(c)
third party transactions in the “Internet of
Things and Technology” space;
(d)
Quantify’s future prospects based on the
status
of
its
technology
portfolio
and
potential interest from third parties; and
(e)
representations from the Quantify directors as
to the price at which a takeover offer for
Quantify would be likely to succeed.
Based on the above negotiations, the Company and
Quantify agreed to attribute a value to Quantify (on
an undiluted basis) of between $15,000,000 and
$22,200,000. The maximum value assumed all agreed
performance milestones were achieved, while the
minimum value assumed none of the agreed
milestones were achieved.
B.
Business Model
What industry
will WHL
operate in
after the
Transaction?
If the Transaction is completed, WHL will largely
operate within the Internet of Things industry.
The Internet of Things is the connection by electronic
means such as internet, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi etc., of
physical devices such as appliances, plant and
equipment, vehicles, buildings including factories and
residential dwellings and other “smart devices”
embedded
with
electronics,
software,
sensors,
actuators, and network connectivity that enable
them to collect and exchange data. Internet of
Things allows objects to be sensed and/or controlled
remotely
across
existing
network
infrastructure
resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and
economic benefit.
The Internet of Things (IoT) industry is a large and
rapidly growing industry. The burgeoning IoT market is
being adopted by consumers, businesses and
Enterprises with the expectation that connected
devices will scale from millions to billions over the
coming years.
The Big Data Analytics market, an industry linked with
the growth of the IoT, is also expected to rapidly
expand as a result of the massive increase in IoT
devices transmitting (big) data.
The Q Device provides a valuable entry point for the
company to secure a market share in the IoT and BDA
industries, which will lay the foundation for the
company
to
implement
its
commercialisation
strategy.
Section 5
How will WHL
generate
income post
Transaction?
Following the completion of the Transaction, WHL will
predominantly
generate
revenue
through
the
distribution
of
products
utilising
the
Quantify
technology. Quantify is currently increasing its sales
Section
4.7(c)

3191-15/1629449_1

Item Summary Further
information
and marketing efforts with a view to deriving revenue
from the following revenue streams:
(a)
the sale of products both direct to consumers
and through channel partners, commencing
with the Q Device;
(b)
ongoing
subscription
revenue
from
consumers for use of Quantify’s advanced
features available in its planned advanced
application and future retirement living
platform, which will leverage the existing Q
Device technology with additional sensors
and features in the fascia and more
advanced software;
(c)
training and certification program revenues;
(d)
ongoing
fascia
and
feature
card
replacement/upgrades by existing users; and
(e)
potential sale and/or interpretation of big
data.
What is
Quantify’s
commercial-
isation
strategy?
Quantify has a staged commercialisation strategy
targeting four distinct markets, which the company
aims to target in the following priority. Each of the
markets are natural progressions of the Q devices
development:
(a)
energy management: the company’s first
feature set offering potential savings to
consumers in the form of power savings and
delivering
the
required
wall
mounted
autonomous computer power required for
future product and solution delivery;
(b)
behavioural
and
environmental
sensor
networks:
this
builds
on
the
energy
management platform by adding sensors
and
features
with
improved
software
analytics via interchangeable components,
key to Quantify’s modular design;
(c)
retirement living market: this uses the
additional sensors, features and improved
software with further developed algorithms
and functionality to aid retirees living at home
and in facilities by providing risk assessment,
lifestyle reporting and other assistive living
functionality; and
(d)
the Truly Intelligent Buildings market: this uses
additional and ongoing upgrades of user
features and functions to deliver a flexible,
upgradable,
autonomously
intelligent
building.

Key Risks

10

3191-15/1629449_1

Further Item Summary information What are the The key risks in an investment in WHL include the Section 9 key risks of an following, non-exhaustive list of risks: investment in Development and commercialisation of the Quantify WHL technology The success of the Merged Group post completion of the Merger will depend upon Quantify’s ability to develop and commercialise the Quantify technology and Quantify Intellectual Property. A failure to successfully develop and commercialise the Quantify technology could lead to a loss of opportunities and adversely impact on the Merged Group’s operating results and financial position. The global marketplace for most products is ever changing due to new technologies, new products, changes in preferences, changes in regulation and other factors influencing market acceptance or market rejection. This market volatility and risk exists despite the best endeavours of market research, promotion and sales and licensing campaigns. There is a risk that, if the Quantify technology is not accepted by the market, Quantify will not be able to commercialise its Internet of Things products, which could adversely impact the Merged Group’s operations. Quantify could experience delays in completing the development and introduction of its Products. Problems in the design or quality of Quantify’s Products may also have an adverse effect on Quantify’s business, financial condition, and operating results. If Product introductions are delayed or not successful, Quantify may not be able to achieve an acceptable return, if any, on its research and development efforts, and Quantify’s business may be adversely affected. Expenditure on research and development may not produce the intended results. Additionally, investments in new technologies, processes and products may not produce returns for the Company above the cost of development of those technologies, products and processes. Intellectual property Securing rights to intellectual property, and in particular patents, is an integral part of securing potential product value from the development of Quantify’s technology. Competition in retaining and sustaining protection of intellectual property and the complex nature of intellectual property can lead to expensive and lengthy patents disputes for which there can be no guaranteed outcome. The granting of a patent does not guarantee that the rights of others are not infringed nor that competitors will not develop competing intellectual property that circumvents such patents. Quantify’s success depends, in part, on its ability to obtain patents,

Item Summary Further
information
maintain trade secret protection and operate without
infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.
Competition risk
There is significant competition in the Internet of Things
industry generally, with companies offering a variety
of competitive products and services. Competition in
the Internet of Things industry is expected to intensify
in the future as new and existing competitors
introduce new or enhanced products that are
potentially
more
competitive
than
Quantify’s
products. The Internet of Things industry has a
multitude of participants, including many large,
broad-based consumer electronic companies that
compete in Quantify’s market. There is no assurance
that competitors will not succeed in developing
products that are more effective or economic than
the products developed by Quantify, or which would
render the products obsolete and/or otherwise
uncompetitive.
Capital and Funding Requirements
Given its initial focus on growing its market share,
Quantify has negative operating cashflow and, at
present, it does not currently have any revenue. No
assurance can be given that Quantify will achieve
commercial viability though its existing technology or
otherwise. Until Quantify is able to realise value from its
technology, it is likely to incur ongoing operating
losses. It is intended that the Capital Raising will
provide for Quantify’s funding in the immediate term.
However, depending on how successfully Quantify
times and executes it monetisation and depending on
the opportunities that arise for business development,
Quantify may require further resources to achieve its
aims going forward. Its ability to raise further capital
and the terms on which it does so may depend on
macro-economic conditions, the performance of
Quantify and of the broader Internet of Things
technology industry at the time, and the risks
associated with the intended use of the funds. If
Quantify is unable to access these funds, or is unable
to do so on acceptable terms, this could adversely
affect WHL’s position.
Refer to Section 9 of this Prospectus for a non-
exhaustive list of potential risks associated with an
investment in WHL.

Key Financial Information
What is the
key financial
information?
The reviewed statement of financial position of each
of WHL, Quantify and the merged entity upon
completion of the Transaction as at 30 June 2016 is set
out in the Investigating Accountant’s Report in Section
8.
Section8
What is the
financial
outlook for
WHL?
The operations of WHL and Quantify are inherently
uncertain. Post completion of the Transaction, WHL’s
financial
performance
is
dependent
on
the
Company’s ability to execute the commercialisation
strategy detailed in Section 4.7(d).As such, the
Directors believe that they do not have a reasonable
basis to forecast future earnings.
The Directors have provided an indication as to how
they will deploy proceeds received under the Equity
Offer in Section 3.4.
Section 3.4
What is the
Company’s
dividend
policy?
Post completion of the Transaction, the Company
currently does not expect to pay a dividend and funds
raised will be allocated to the growth and
development of the business. The Board of WHL will
review the dividend policy on a regular basis. Any
future payment of dividends will be at the discretion
of the Board.
Section 7.3
How has
Quantify
historically
performed?
Historically, Quantify has generated losses because it
has been in the product development phase of its
business life cycle. It is anticipated that Quantify will
continue to have significant expenditure on research
and development moving forward, but there will be a
greater focus on the commercialisation of Quantify’s
existing products than there has been historically.
While the Company is not in a position to make any
forecasts in relation to revenue or net profit due to the
inherent uncertain nature of these items, a medium
term goal of the Company is to deliver net profits on
an annual basis. The ability to achieve this goal is
subject to a number of risks and these are highlighted
in Section 9 of this Prospectus.
An overview of Quantify’s historical financials is
provided in the Investigating Accountant’s Report in
Section 8.

2. TRANSACTION OVERVIEW

2.1 Overview

On 12 September 2016, WHL announced its intention to merge with unlisted Australian public company, Quantify Technology Ltd. The transaction is a backdoor listing of Quantify as Quantify Ordinary Shareholders will, on completion of the Transaction, control (as a group) more than 50% of WHL’s Shares.

Details of Quantify’s business operations and financial position are provided in Sections 4 and 7 of this Prospectus.

The Merger is being effected by means of separate off-market takeover bids by WHL for all of Quantify’s ordinary shares ( Quantify Ordinary Shares ) and all of the main class of options on issue ( Quantify Ordinary Options ) ( Takeover Offers ), as well as private agreements for the acquisition of all other Quantify securities on issue.

WHL is offering 1.0189 WHL Shares and 0.4891 WHL Performance Shares for every 1 Quantify Ordinary Share under the Share Takeover Offer, and 1.0238 WHL Bid Options for every 1 Quantify Ordinary Option under the Option Takeover Offer.

The Share Takeover Offer is subject to a number of defeating conditions, including that WHL raises at least $3.5m under the Equity Offer made under this Prospectus and that necessary Shareholder approvals are obtained. Refer to Section 2.2 for a summary of the defeating conditions.

The Option Takeover Offer is conditional on the Share Takeover Offer becoming unconditional.

The reconvened annual general meeting of WHL shareholders, which has been rescheduled for 22 December 2016, will consider a number of resolutions to give effect to the Transaction. Refer to Section 2.4 for a summary of the resolutions.

The Takeover Offers currently close on 31 January 2017 (unless extended). As at the date of this Prospectus, WHL has received acceptances for 72.9% of Quantify Ordinary Shares and 65.5% of Quantify Ordinary Options.

It is a condition of the Offers under this Prospectus that the Share Takeover Offer becomes or is declared unconditional (refer to Section 3.2 of this Prospectus). It is intended that the Takeover Offers and the Offers under this Prospectus are completed on the same date.

Details of the private agreements that have been or are intended to be entered to acquire Quantify’s other issues securities are provided in Section 2.7.

2.2 Takeover Offers

The Share Takeover Offer is subject to a number of defeating conditions, including the following which may not be waived by WHL without the prior written consent of Quantify:

  • (a) WHL Shareholders approving certain resolutions, as detailed at Section 2.4 below, in accordance with the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules;

  • (b) 90% minimum acceptance of the Takeover (provided WHL does not hold at least 80% acceptances under the Takeover Offer, upon which WHL

18

3191-15/1629449_1

may waive this minimum acceptance condition without Quantify’s consent);

  • (c) the Equity Offer under this Prospectus having raised a minimum of $3.5 million; and

  • (d) WHL having received written confirmation from ASX that WHL will be readmitted to the Official List and that suspension of WHL Shares from Official Quotation will be lifted (subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by ASX, if any),

WHL may free the Share Takeover Offer from any other defeating conditions at any time, in any manner permitted by the Corporations Act.

A complete list of defeating conditions to the Share Takeover Offer, including their full terms, is set out in Sections 1.8 and 2.8 of Annexure A of the Bidder’s Statement, which is available via WHL’s website at http://www.whlenergy.com.au or WHL’s ASX announcements platform on www.asx.com.au.

2.3 Transaction Valuation

(a) Share Takeover Offer

The agreed total consideration provided to Quantify Ordinary Shareholders under the Share Takeover Offer is $22,200,000. This assumes each WHL Share and Performance Share has a value of $0.06 each. The actual value of a Performance Share, for the purposes of the Share Takeover Offer, may be valued between nil and $0.06 each. If valued at nil, the total consideration provided to Quantify Ordinary Shareholders under the Share Takeover Offer is $15,000,000 (assuming each WHL Share has a value of $0.06).

Under the terms of the Share Takeover Offer, Quantify Ordinary Shareholders who accept the Share Takeover Offer will receive 1.0189 WHL Shares and 0.4891 Performance Shares for every 1 Quantify Ordinary Share held.

(b) Option Takeover Offer

Quantify currently has 59,900,002 Quantify Ordinary Options on issue (7.5 cent exercise price expiring 31 May 2017) with a Black & Scholes valuation of approximately 1.56 cents per Quantify Ordinary Option.

The 61,325,622 WHL Bid Options offered under the Option Takeover Offer in consideration for the Quantify Ordinary Options have an exercise price of 7.5 cents expiring 30 September 2019 and a Black & Scholes valuation of approximately 2.53 cents per WHL Bid Option.

This represents a premium of approximately 64%.

This premium, the valuation and the number of the WHL Bid Options to be issued in consideration for the acquisition of the Quantify Ordinary Options was determined by the Directors through arm’s length negotiations with the Quantify board of directors. This premium was considered appropriate to secure acceptances from unrelated Quantify Ordinary Optionholders who are not Quantify Ordinary Shareholders.

19

3191-15/1629449_1

By way of comparison, the Share Takeover Offer represents a premium of approximately 51% based on Quantify Ordinary Shares and WHL Ordinary Shares being valued at 6 cents and the Share Takeover offering WHL Shares and WHL Performance Shares with a total value of 9.05 cents. WHL does not consider that the premium offered under the Option Takeover Offer constitutes an unacceptable net collateral benefit.

2.4 Shareholder Approval of Transaction

The Company has reconvened the Annual General Meeting for 22 December 2016 to obtain, amongst other things, shareholder approvals essential for the Transaction being, in summary:

  • (a) as the Company is currently an oil and gas exploration company, the Merger with Quantify, if successfully completed, will represent a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s operations to the development of Internet of Things technology and consumer products, for which Shareholder approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2;

  • (b) the Company will need to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and, to achieve this, must undertake a capital raising by issuing a maximum of 83,333,333 Shares (to raise up to $5 million) at an issue price of $0.06 per Share (being the Equity Offer under this Prospectus);

  • (c) the creation of a new class of shares, being the Performance Shares, which are being offered as consideration pursuant to the Share Takeover Offer;

  • (d) the creation of a new class of shares, being the Founder Performance Shares;

  • (e) the issue of 30,000,000 Founder Performance Shares to the Major Shareholder on completion of the Merger, which are being offered as consideration for the transfer of Quantify Performance Shares from the Major Shareholder to WHL;

  • (f) the adoption of an employee incentive option plan to allow the issue of up to 6,910,543 EOP Options to Quantify EOP Optionholders (or their nominees) on completion of the Transaction in consideration for the transfer of up to 6,750,000 Quantify EOP Options to the Company to be subject to materially the same terms and conditions as apply to their Quantify EOP Options (being the EOP Option Offer, offered under this Prospectus);

  • (g) the adoption of an employee incentive share plan to allow Shares issued to Quantify employees under the Share Takeover Offer in consideration for the acquisition of their Quantify ESS Shares to be subject to materially the same terms and conditions as apply to their Quantify ESS Shares;

  • (h) the issue of up to 11,826,787 Shares to the Quantify Class C Shareholders, which are being offered as consideration for the transfer of their Quantify Class C Shares to WHL, including to one related party, Mintaka Nominees Pty Ltd (which is a related party by virtue of being controlled by Mr Neville Bassett and Mr Gary Castledine);

20

3191-15/1629449_1

  • (i) the change of the Company’s name to Quantify Technology Holdings Limited on completion of the Transaction;

  • (j) the appointment of three directors nominated by Quantify to the Board on completion of the Transaction;

  • (k) the issue of up to 10,833,333 Shares to the Quantify Convertible Loan holders on conversion of the Quantify Convertible Loans on completion of the Transaction;

  • (l) the adoption of an employee incentive performance rights plan ( Performance Rights Plan ); and

  • (m) the issue of 6,250,000 Performance Rights to Proposed Director Mark Lapins (or his nominee) and 6,250,000 Performance Rights to Proposed Director Aidan Montague (or his nominee) under the Performance Rights Plan,

( the Essential Resolutions ).

Each of the Essential Resolutions are conditional upon the passing of all of the other Essential Resolutions. If any of the Essential Resolutions are not approved, all of the Essential Resolutions to be considered at the Annual General Meeting will fail and the Transaction (including the Offers under this Prospectus) will not be completed. Further details of the proposed resolutions are contained in the notice of meeting issued by WHL on 31 October 2016 and the addendum to the notice of meeting issued by WHL on 12 December 2016 ( Notice of Meeting ).

2.5 Suspension and Re-admission to ASX

As WHL is currently an oil and gas exploration company, the merger with Quantify, if successfully completed, will represent a significant change in the nature and scale of WHL’s operations to the development of Internet of Things technology and consumer products.

ASX has indicated that this change in the nature and scale of WHL’s activities will require:

  • (a) the approval of WHL’s Shareholders; and

  • (b) the Company to re-comply with the admission requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

In accordance with ASX guidelines, the Company’s Shares were suspended from trading on announcement of the Transaction, and will remain suspended until such time as the Company has re-complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and is re-admitted by ASX to the Official List.

Some of the key requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules are:

  • (a) the Company must satisfy the shareholder spread requirements relating to the minimum number of Shareholders and the minimum value of the shareholdings of those Shareholders;

  • (b) the Company must satisfy the “assets test” as set out in Listing Rule 1.3; and

21

3191-15/1629449_1

  • (c) the issue price of Shares must be at least 20 cents and the exercise price of options must be at least 20 cents (subject to a waiver granted to the Company, as described in Section 11.19).

It is expected that the conduct of the Equity Offer pursuant to this Prospectus (subject to applicable Shareholder approval as noted at Section 2.4) will enable the Company to satisfy the above requirements.

Applicants should be aware that ASX will not re-admit or admit any Shares (including the New Shares) to Official Quotation until WHL re-complies with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules and is re-admitted by ASX to the Official List.

In the event that WHL does not receive conditional approval for re-admission to the Official List, the Takeover Offers and the Offers under this Prospectus will be withdrawn and WHL will not proceed with the Offers under this Prospectus and will repay all application monies received by it in connection with this Prospectus (without interest).

If Shareholder approval to the change in nature and scale of WHL’s activities is not obtained, the Company will apply to the ASX for the suspension of its Shares to be lifted after the results of the Annual General Meeting have been announced to the market. The ASX has the discretion whether to reinstate Shares to trading on the ASX. There can be no assurance that the suspension will be lifted.

2.6

Change of Name

It is proposed that, subject to Shareholder approval, the Company will change its name to ‘Quantify Technology Holdings Limited’ following the successful completion of the Transaction.

2.7

Other Quantify Securities

Quantify currently has a number of other securities on issue, all of which will need to be acquired by the Company as a condition to completing the Takeover Offers. The Company will acquire these securities in the manner set out below.

Refer to Section 4.11 for further details in respect to the Company’s capital structure following completion of the Transaction, which includes securities to be issued by the Company in order to deal with the following securities on issue in Quantify.

(a) Quantify EOP Options

In accordance with the Merger Implementation Agreement, WHL and Quantify have entered into agreements with existing Quantify EOP Optionholders to replace their existing 6,750,000 Quantify EOP Options with a total of 6,910,543 EOP Options in the Company upon successful completion of the Takeover Offers. These EOP Options are to be granted, subject to necessary Shareholder and regulatory approvals, on materially the same terms as the Quantify EOP Options currently held by Quantify EOP Optionholders. Refer to Section 11.7 for further details.

(b) Quantify Class C Shares

In accordance with the Merger Implementation Agreement, WHL and Quantify have agreed that Quantify may issue up to 11,607,480 Quantify Class C Shares to advisers, on the condition that the advisers agree to transfer those Quantify Class C Shares to the Company in consideration

22

3191-15/1629449_1

for up to 11,826,787 WHL Shares on a pro-rata basis, at completion of the Transaction.

(c) WHL Founder Performance Shares

Under the Merger Implementation Agreement, WHL and Quantify have agreed to enter into an arrangement with Lapins Holdings Pty Ltd ( Lapins ) for the transfer of all Quantify Class A and B Performance Shares held by Lapins, to the Company, in exchange for 30,000,000 Founder Performance Shares on completion of the Transaction.

(d) Quantify Convertible Loans

Under the MIA, while the Merger is being completed, WHL agreed to fund Quantify up to an amount of $850,000 by way of convertible loans, convertible into Quantify Shares at $0.06 each at WHL’s discretion, with an interest rate of 10% per annum payable monthly in arrears, repayable within 6 months if the MIA is terminated. Quantify and WHL entered into a convertible loan agreement reflecting these terms on 24 October 2016. A total of $850,000 has been advanced under this agreement as at 16 December 2016.

Under the MIA, the parties have agreed that, should Quantify need to raise additional working capital, Quantify may raise up to $650,000 by way of convertible loans, with WHL having a first right of refusal ( Quantify Convertible Loans ). If WHL declines to provide additional funding, Quantify Convertible Loans entered into with unrelated third parties:

  • (i) will, subject to WHL Shareholder approval, automatically convert into Shares, on completion of the Merger at a deemed conversion price of $0.06 per Share; and

  • (ii) will accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable and will, subject to WHL Shareholder approval, automatically convert into Shares on completion of the Merger at a deemed conversion price of $0.06 per Share.

As at the date of this Prospectus, Quantify has not entered into any Quantify Convertible Loans but anticipates it will need to do so before completion of the Merger.

3.2

In the event that the Condition is not satisfied, the Offers will not proceed and no Securities will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus. If this occurs, applicants will be reimbursed their application monies (without interest).

3.3 Purpose of the Offers and the Prospectus

The primary purpose of the Equity Offer under this Prospectus is to enable the Company, after completion of the Merger, to raise funds to commercialise the Quantify Business.

WHL is aiming to apply the funds raised under the Equity Offer in the manner detailed in the Section 3.4 below. The Board believes that the funds raised from the Equity Offer, combined with existing funds will provide WHL with sufficient working capital at anticipated expenditure levels to achieve the objectives as shown in the table in Section 3.4 below.

This Prospectus has also been issued to:

  • (a) assist WHL to meet the re-admission requirements of ASX under Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules (eg. Shareholder spread) (see Section 2.5); and

  • (b) to remove the need for an additional disclosure document to be issued upon the sale of any Securities that are issued under the EOP Option Offer or Broker Option Offer to, and/or the exercise of any such New Options by, retail investors.

3.4 Use of Funds

WHL intends to apply funds raised from the Equity Offer, together with the cash on hand of WHL and Quantify (which, as at 30 November 2016, is approximately $1,320,000), interest and anticipated income from R&D refundable tax offset and Export Market Development Grants (outlined below) in the next two years following re-admission to the Official List of the ASX (for the purpose of satisfying ASX’s requirements for re-listing following a significant change to the nature and scale of the Company’s activities) in the manner set out below.

  1. Sales and business development costs includes sales and business development salaries.

  5. (a) estimated rebate of $0.49 million for financial year 2015/16 (as mentioned above in note 1); and

  6. (b) estimated rebate of $0.76 million for financial year 2016/17 (45% rebate payable by the ATO based on approximately $1.7 million worth of eligible R&D expenditure for the financial year ending 30 June 17).

Year 2 includes an estimated amount of interest ($0.01 million) and an estimated $0.44 million of R&D rebates for financial year 2017/2018 (45% rebate payable by the ATO based on an estimated amount of $0.97 million on eligible R&D expenditure for the financial year ending 30 June 18).

3.4.3

ASX listing

Application for Official Quotation by ASX of the New Shares and Broker Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus.

If the New Shares and Broker Options are not admitted to Official Quotation by ASX before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of this Prospectus, or such period as varied by the ASIC, the Company will not issue any New Shares or Broker Options and will repay all application monies for the New Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the New Shares and Broker Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Securities now offered for subscription.

3.4.4

Issue

Subject to the Condition being achieved, the Minimum Subscription to the Equity Offer being reached and ASX granting conditional approval for the Company to be admitted to the Official List, issue of the Securities offered by this Prospectus will take place as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

Pending the issue of the New Shares or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act.

Where the number of New Shares issued is less than the number applied for, or where no issue is made, surplus application monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

3.5

29

3191-15/1629449_1

professional advice. It is solely the responsibility of the applicant to inform himself or herself of his or her taxation position resulting from the participation in the Offers.

3.6 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System and Issuer Sponsorship

WHL participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System ( CHESS ). ASX Settlement Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by WHL.

Electronic sub-registers mean that WHL will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with holding statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Securities issued to them under this Prospectus. The holding statements will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number (if the holder is broker sponsored) or Security Holder Reference Number (if the holder is issuer sponsored) and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of shares or options can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Further, monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in WHL during the preceding month. Securityholders may request a holding statement at any other time, however a charge may be made for such additional statements.

The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any of these restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

4. COMPANY, QUANTIFY AND MERGED ENTITY OVERVIEW

4.1 WHL Energy Limited

WHL was incorporated on 10 March 2005 under the name Wind Hydrogen Limited, with its principal focus being oil and gas exploration. The Company was admitted to the official list of the ASX on 6 September 2007.

The Company has three subsidiaries, PetroQuest International Seychelles Limited, PetroQuest International Incorporated and. Indian Ocean Petroleum Holdings Pty Limited. WHL holds a 100% equity interest in Exploration Permit VIC/P67 in the offshore Otway Basin, approximately 200 km WSW of Melbourne off the Victorian coastline. VIC/P67 contains the undeveloped La Bella gas field in proximity to the Victorian gas market, and several nearby exploration prospects.

As announced on 3 November 2016, WHL has entered into an agreement with Austral Exploration Pty Ltd ( Austral ) for the sale of WHL’s interest in Exploration Permit Vic/P67 ( Disposal ).

The Disposal is conditional on the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

  • (a) WHL obtaining shareholder approval for the Disposal (if required) by 31 March 2017; and

  • (b) WHL obtaining relevant authority approvals including:

  • (i) the approval and registration of the sale and purchase deed and associated transfer of title; and

  • (ii) approval of the Suspension and Extension Application under the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006.

As announced in WHL’s 2016 Annual Financial Report, an application for an Above Work Program Variation and Suspension and Extension was made by WHL to the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator ( NOPTA ) in May 2015 and was awarded on 19 August 2015, extending the end period for Permit Year 3 of Exploration Permit VIC/P67 for 12 months.

Subsequent to the permit year-end on 3 August 2016, WHL lodged a further 12 month Suspension and Extension Application for year 3 expenditure with NOPTA. The application remains under consideration.

As consideration for the Disposal, a royalty comprising 1% of the sales gas revenue to a maximum of $7,500,000 will be granted to WHL under a royalty deed entered into by WHL and Austral.

The Company has been actively seeking to identify and evaluate new opportunities in related or non-related industries that may increase shareholder value. The proposed merger with Quantify is consistent with this strategy and has been unanimously recommended by the Board of WHL.

4.5 Overview of Quantify Technology Ltd

Quantify was incorporated on 17 September 2012 as an Australian proprietary limited company.

In February 2015, Quantify acquired certain intellectual property rights from Mr Mark Lapins (the current Managing Director of Quantify), Lapins Holdings and Cuda Development Corporation Pty Ltd, a company associated with Mark Lapins, and commenced its current business.

In the four years prior to Quantify acquiring this intellectual property, Mark Lapins, Lapins Holdings and Cuda incurred expenses developing the hardware and software that has resulted in the Q Device, and associated intellectual property. During this period these development efforts did not constitute carrying on a business.

35

3191-15/1629449_1

Quantify currently owns various intellectual property as summarised in the Intellectual Property Report at Section 6 ( Quantify Intellectual Property ).

Quantify is a first mover in the Internet of Things market, with a focus on intelligent building technology. It is primarily a developer of hardware and software devices that enable the monitoring and management of the next generation of internet enabled devices (such as lighting, power, heating and cooling systems) installed in buildings (the Quantify Business ).

Quantify’s patented flagship product, the Q Device, provides real-time evaluation of environmental and risk factors for building occupants, as well as proactively managing services and utilities to ensure the highest levels of efficiency are achieved – for example, maximum energy efficiency - to create truly intelligent buildings.

Quantify’s products are designed to be retrofittable, cost effective, simple, scalable, extensible, autonomous and secure, and aim to allow IoT solutions to become part of the fabric of buildings - redefining the industry standard with a view to making Quantify’s solution the platform of choice.

Quantify converted to an unlisted Australian public company on 25 May 2016.

4.6 Quantify Board of Directors

As at the date of this Prospectus, the directors of Quantify are:

  • (a) Mr Mark Lapins – Managing Director;

  • (b) Mr Aidan Montague – Executive Chairman; and

  • (c) Mr Alex Paior – Non-Executive Director.

Messrs Mark Lapins, Aiden Montague and Alex Paior will each become a director of WHL on successful completion of the Transaction. Further details in respect of the Proposed Directors are set out in Section 10.1. The Proposed Directors do not have an interest in any existing WHL securities on issue.

4.7 Overview of the Quantify Business

(a) The Q Device

The Q Device consists of hardware and software that provide a modular hardware architecture for Internet Protocol (IP) network connected AC end points. This creates an innovative and intelligent IoT solution addressing a growing global requirement for energy consumption, management and a distribution platform for advanced IoT applications.

It is able to efficiently monitor, manipulate and manage the power network of a building to enable seamless, effective and efficient power network monitoring, usage analysis, policy management and power manipulation on an electrical device/power outlet level basis. Its connected IoT architecture allows the creation, distribution, application and enforcement of AC power policy from a central management platform.

The Q Device replaces light switches/dimmers and power outlets with intelligent devices to provide consumers with the power to control and manage power consumption in a building, at a device and circuit level.

36

3191-15/1629449_1

Power management is the first feature set of the Q Device and empowers users to potentially make savings in power and money by managing power consumption and limiting power wastage.

The technology incorporates “over the air” firmware update and upgrade capabilities, so that AC modules should not require replacement subsequent to their installation for the foreseeable future while consumers continue to rely on AC power. The end-user application is planned to be run from users’ Android or iOS devices such as smart phones and tablets for the domestic consumer market and from onpremises control devices for enterprise installations.

Each of the Q Devices within a building are able to communicate with each other via a range of wireless communications protocols and have the capability to communicate consumption data with a secure cloud database. Diverse wireless communication protocols allow flexibility and consumer choice.

Quantify’s platform development model aims to avoid dependence on any one operating system or device and is designed to be modular and replaceable, so that where technology changes are required or mandated, the Quantify platform can be rapidly adapted.

The three modules of the Q Device are:

  • (i) the user replaceable fascia, which allows upgrades and additional features - available in any size, shape, colour, form and function including distribution of IoT sensing applications, audio, video and other technologies over time;

  • (ii) the user replaceable feature card, which is the primary wireless communication device connection and allows local application processing power and other features such as additional memory or processing capabilities as required to support local autonomous device functionality; and

  • (iii) the fixed AC module (to be installed in the wall by a licensed electrician where required by local laws), which controls, manages and reports on AC power usage on a per channel (device/circuit) basis.

The Q Device shown on the left below will be used in place of traditional light switches. The Q Device on the right will be used in place of traditional general power outlets.

Consumer application

(b) Competitive Advantages

Quantify believes that its Q Device has a number of advantages over competitor products:

  • (i) It is easily and inexpensively retrofittable : It can be installed in almost any building without additional network cabling or changes to the existing power cable plant and can be retrofitted onto the two most common devices found in almost every room in almost every household worldwide: light switches and power outlets. Existing solutions are very expensive to retrofit, requiring large costs in rewiring, network cabling and infrastructure changes.

  • (ii) Modular design : The modular design means that, subsequent to the initial installation by an electrician, all upgrades of form, features and functions are relatively inexpensive feature card and fascia upgrades that can be completed by the user. This

38

3191-15/1629449_1

also addresses the major issue facing technology companies - mitigating technological obsolescence. Quantify is confident that the AC module will not need to be changed in the foreseeable future while populations are dependent on AC power.

  • (iii) Patented, modern technology : Quantify has patents in Australia and Singapore and has patent applications pending in another 23 countries and an application with the European Patent Office under the European Patent Convention which, if successful, provides protection in up to an additional 38 countries. By comparison, competitors predominantly use outdated technology bundled together with newer technologies in an inefficient and expensive manner to deliver only limited functionality and energy savings. Competitors in this space almost always introduce a single point of failure in their solutions which renders the installation ineffective if this single device fails. Furthermore, most solutions don’t have the capacity to scale economically for large scale installations.

(c) Business Model

Quantify is currently increasing its sales and marketing efforts with a view to deriving revenue from the following revenue streams:

  • (i) the sale of products both direct to consumers and through channel partners, commencing with the Q Device;

  • (ii) ongoing subscription revenue from consumers for use of Quantify’s advanced features available in its planned advanced application and future retirement living platform, which will leverage the existing Q Device technology with additional sensors and features in the fascia and more advanced software;

  • (iii) training and certification program revenues;

  • (iv) ongoing fascia and feature card replacement/upgrades by existing users; and

  • (v) potential sale and/or interpretation of big data[1]

(d) Commercialisation Strategy

Quantify has a staged commercialisation strategy targeting four distinct markets, which the company aims to target in the following priority. Each of the markets are natural progressions of the Q devices development:

  • (i) energy management: the company’s first feature set offering potential savings to consumers in the form of power savings and

Big Data Analytics is the process of examining large data sets ( big data ) containing a variety of data types to uncover unknown correlations, market trends, useful business information, customer preferences. These findings can be used to drive more effective marketing, additional revenue opportunities, competitive advantages over rivals as well as many other unconceived uses

39

3191-15/1629449_1

delivering the required wall mounted autonomous computer power required for future product and solution delivery;

  • (ii) behavioural and environmental sensor networks: this builds on the energy management platform by adding sensors and features with improved software analytics via interchangeable components, key to Quantify’s modular design;

  • (iii) retirement living market: this uses the additional sensors, features and improved software with further developed algorithms and functionality to aid retirees living at home and in facilities by providing risk assessment, lifestyle reporting and other assistive living functionality; and

  • (iv) the Truly Intelligent Buildings market: this uses additional and ongoing upgrades of user features and functions to deliver a flexible, upgradable, autonomously intelligent building.

(a) Commercialisation Status

The user interchangeable fascias and user interchangeable feature card for the Q Device have been tooled and are ready for mass production, subject to final compliance and certification.

With respect to the two mechanical formats of AC module:

  • (i) the format that replaces traditional light switches has been tooled and is ready for mass production, subject to final compliance and certification; and

  • (ii) the format that replaces traditional general power outlets is undergoing pre-production testing and is expected to be released to production first quarter calendar 2017.

Quantify is currently manufacturing small runs of the Q Device for testing, demonstration and pilot installations from its production tooling, with hardware currently undergoing embedded software and hardware testing.

The Q Device is currently undergoing assessment by a contracted specialist electronic engineering firm against the Australian certifications required for sale.

Quantify aims to have the AC modules certified to the AS/NZS CISPR15 standard, which is the Australian and New Zealand standard for “Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment”, in the first quarter of calendar year 2017.

Quantify has entered discussions with a tier 1, large volume overseas manufacturer, with a view to manufacturing Quantify’s Q Device in high volumes once Quantify has built a sufficient sales pipeline to warrant such high-volume manufacture.

While Quantify’s Q Device is expected to be completed in the first quarter calendar 2017, with Quantify able to deliver product in the near term for sale, Quantify’s strategy is to build sales pipeline to enable high-volume,

40

3191-15/1629449_1

cost efficient manufacture to maximise profitability (ie the starting point is to sell to customers who will order large volumes of product).

Quantify is in the process of aggressively accelerating its sales effort to build a sales pipeline focusing on the sale of its products and software into new construction, iconic commercial and enterprise projects with delivery of the Q Device to these projects aiming for the second half of 2017.

Quantify is also in discussions with parties looking to form strategic partnerships with systems integrators and channels to the Australian domestic consumer market. Research and development ( R&D ) work is ongoing and will continue in line with the company’s commercialisation strategy. Further planned complementary products in the Quantify product range, with the potential to generate additional revenue, are currently undergoing R&D. Ongoing R&D is important and potentially valuable to the company, and, owing to the modular, upgradable design of the Q Device, future evolutions of the product are more easily achievable than if the company were producing single function, point solutions.

5. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Following completion of the Transaction the Company will participate in the Internet of Things industry.

The Internet of Things is the development of the internet whereby everyday objects have connectivity, allowing them to receive and send data. US research firm Gartner Inc defines the Internet of Things as “the network of physical objects that contain embedded technology to communicate and sense or interact with their internal states or the external environment”.

The Internet of Things allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing internet infrastructure.

The IoT market is expected to experience significant growth over the coming years with enterprises expected to lead IoT adoption driven by revenue growth opportunities including; data monetization, core IoT networks and low power devices, platforms as a service, and investment in IoT startups. The development and growth of the Internet of Things sector is expected to provide substantial economic benefits to consumers over time.

Market sentiment towards the adoption of IoT devices and technology is showing signs of becoming more positive with a 2016 survey by CompTIA: “Internet of Things insights and opportunities,” estimating that approximately 75% of organizations have a more positive view of IoT today compared to a year ago.

Spending on IoT devices is projected to grow strongly with research firm International Data Corporation (IDC) estimating in its “Worldwide Semiannual Internet of Things Spending Guide” that global spending on IoT devices and services was almost US$700 billion in 2015. The future growth fuelled by growing demand and adoption of IoT devices and their derived data represents significant potential for this high growth industry.

With such high growth in the number of IoT devices incorporating attached or embedded sensors connected to the internet, the amount of data being communicated by these devices is expected to increase substantially, with billions of internet-connected things generating massive amounts of data (Big Data).

Big Data Analytics is the process of examining large data sets with the intention of uncovering patterns, unknown correlations, customer preferences, market trends and other business information to offer some form of valuable insight (Big Data Analytics).

IDC research estimated worldwide revenues for data and business analytics was US$122 billion in 2015.

Amid this expected strong growth, Quantify’s flagship product, the Q Device, has a first-mover advantage and makes the application of the IoT sufficiently economical to target mass market adoption.

The Q Device can monitor, assess and manage objects in the physical world electronically and will automatically optimise the performance of systems and processes, improving efficiencies and quality of life.

45

3191-15/1629449_1

Current solutions existing in the energy management and building automation industry (which is the initial target market and the first step in Quantify’s phased commercialisation strategy) mean Quantify’s perceived competitors (for example, C-BUS, Insteon, Dynalite or iControl) face a number of limitations, including:

  • Old technology

  • Limited functionality

  • Difficult and expensive to commission

  • Requires specialised technicians

  • Time consuming and labor intensive

  • Ongoing expense of re-configuration and additions

  • Economics do not scale for smaller size installations

  • Limited personalisation solutions

The Q Device is considered to have several advantages over existing technology including:

  • Lower cost of installation

  • Completely retrofittable

  • Doesn’t require speciality engineer or custom cabling for installation

  • Policy-based management and control

  • Doesn’t require additional sensors

  • Allow dimming and lighting control

  • Programmable lighting timetables

  • Automatically adjusts to changing environment stimuli

  • The devices communicate with each other and user via Wi-Fi

The Q Device has applications across several areas including: energy efficiency, retirement living and Big Data Analytics. Quantify’s long-term goal is to provide the world’s first Truly Intelligent Building Platform that is retrofittable, cost effective, simple, scalable, extensible, autonomous, secure and that redefines the industry standard, making Quantify Technology the platform of choice. The Company is well placed to do this by providing the tools and technology to allow IoT solutions to become part of the fabric of buildings at low cost and high efficiency.

2.0 Overview

We understand that Quantify has a portfolio of patents, patent applications, trade mark registrations, trade mark applications, and domain name registrations to protect aspects of its business.

This Report has been prepared by Wrays. The status summary of the patents, patent applications, trade mark registrations, trade mark applications, and domain name registrations provided in this Report is correct to the best of our knowledge at the date of this Report.

Patent Applications

Quantify is the owner of a family, (hereinafter, the “Patent Family”) of granted patents and pending patent applications pursuant to an Agreement for Sale of Intellectual Property made on 28 January 2015 between Lapins Holdings Pty Ltd as trustee for the Lapins Family Trust, Quantify Technology Pty Ltd and Mark Lapins.

Quantify’s ownership of the granted Australian and Singaporean patents of the Family has been recorded with IP Australia and the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore, respectively, although its change of name from Quantify Technology Pty Ltd is still to be recorded in respect of patent rights.

The other members of the Patent Family are in the name of the previous owner, being Lapins Holdings Pty Ltd as Trustee for the Lapins Family Trust for all patent applications of the Patent Family except for the New Zealand patent application, for which it is Lapins Holdings Pty Ltd. We have instructions to record Quantify’s ownership of the other members of the

2

WHL Energy Ltd

15 December 2016

Patent Family with the relevant Intellectual Property Offices. A Deed of Assignment of Intellectual Property Rights between Lapins Holdings Pty Ltd as Trustee for the Lapins Family Trust and Quantify Technology Pty Ltd has been prepared and executed in February 2016 and will be used to support recording of the transfer of ownership.

Typically speaking, in most jurisdictions, the process of recording the details of the new owner of a granted patent or patent application following an assignment is an administrative one carried out by reference to the assignment documentation filed by the assignee.

A family, in the context used in this Report, is a set of patents/applications describing the same invention having effect in various countries. Such a family arises when a first patent application for the invention is then extended to other countries.

Broadly speaking, the invention (hereinafter “Invention”) the subject of the Patent Family relates to technology for controlling an operation. The technology is particularly suited to controlling an operation comprising a switching or signalling action or event for an electrical or electronic circuit, although it is not limited in this respect, and may be used in respect of additional or alternative operations.

Subject to our comments in Section 5, we are aware of material that has been raised as being relevant to the patentability of the Invention. We have reviewed this material, and believe there are arguments for distinguishing the Invention from it.

Trade Mark Registrations and Applications

We have been informed that Quantify is the owner of a number of Australian trade mark registrations and applications directed to trade marks used in the business.

According to IP Australia’s records, several trade mark registrations are still in the name of their previous owner. The relevant marks have been assigned to Quantify, pursuant to deeds of assignment executed in August 2016 (and having effect from May 2014) and in February 2016 (and having effect from January 2015), respectively. These assignments are in the process of being recorded in respect of each of those marks.

In addition, the recent name change to “Quantify Technology Ltd” is still to be recorded in respect of several marks currently in the name of “Quantify Technology Pty Ltd”.

Domain Name Registrations

Quantify has registered a number of domain names relating to jurisdictions of interest to its business.

According to WHOIS records, a large number of domain names identify the registrant as “Quantify Technology”, which is not a legal entity. We are informed by Quantify that these domain names will be updated to reflect the proper legal name of the registrant.

Also according to WHOIS records, the registrant of two domain names is still listed as their previous owner. We are instructed that the WHOIS records for these domain names are in the process of being updated to reflect Quantify as the registrant, who we are informed is their new owner.

In addition, the recent name change to Quantify Technology Ltd is still to be recorded in respect of several domain names currently in the name of “Quantify Technology Pty Ltd”.

3.0 Patent Protection, Patent Procedures and Requirements for Patentability

Patent rights constitute an important component of intellectual property, and provide a statutory monopoly for new (novel), non-obvious (inventive) and useful inventions for a limited period. Patents may be granted in respect of new or improved products, compositions and processes in almost all areas of current scientific, commercial and industrial activities.

Patent rights are essentially national rather than trans-national and a patent must be obtained in each country where protection of an invention is required. A fundamental requirement of most modern patent systems is that an invention be ‘new’ at the time of lodging a patent application. Newness in this sense is judged in relation to what was publicly known or used at the date of the application. Another generally universal requirement is for a distinct inventive advance over what was previously known. This means that valid patent protection cannot be obtained for trivial or obvious developments. A further requirement is that the invention must be suitable subject matter for a patent. For example, patent protection for computer implemented and so called “business method” inventions may be difficult to obtain.

Pursuant to the Paris Convention, the filing of an initial patent application in, for example, Australia establishes a priority date for the invention in Australia, which is recognised by all other countries that are a party to this Convention, including countries such as the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Europe and Japan.

WHL Energy Ltd

The below flow chart generally sets out the major steps involved in obtaining a patent in Australia and other countries in respect of an invention. The patents and patent applications of the Patent Family have been filed according to a patenting strategy generally following these steps.

----- End of picture text -----

The usual steps towards obtaining a patent in Australia and other countries in respect of an invention begin by the filing of a priority patent application accompanied by a patent specification. The filing of a priority patent application establishes a priority date in respect of the invention disclosed in the accompanying specification.

Typically, for Australian inventions, the priority patent application is a provisional patent application accompanied by a provisional patent specification.

5

WHL Energy Ltd

15 December 2016

Within twelve months from the date of the filing of the provisional patent application, a complete patent application must be lodged otherwise the provisional patent application, which remains pending for only one year, lapses, along with the priority date set thereby. Thus, if no complete patent application is filed within one year of the provisional patent application, the priority date is no longer valid. The complete patent application is accompanied by a complete patent specification including a set of claims defining the invention and the scope of protection being sought.

Within the one year pendency of the provisional patent application, in order to obtain patent protection in other countries, the applicant may file separate national complete patent applications in each of the countries in which protection is required. Alternatively, or additionally, the applicant may file a single International patent application under the provisions of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (generally referred to as a ‘PCT’ application or an ‘International’ application) in which it is possible to designate countries or regions where patent protection is required. The International application itself does not mature into a worldwide patent, but at the end of the international phase, generally 30 or 31 months from the claimed priority date, steps can be taken to file the application in any or all of the countries or regions designated in the original International application.

Regional patent applications, such as a European regional application, may also be filed. A European application may designate any or all countries that are a party to the European Patent Convention (EPC). A European patent application may also be extended to certain other jurisdictions including those that are not full signatories to the EPC. The European patent application is processed centrally and in a single language and, if ultimately successful, can mature into a granted European patent, which must then be validated in each country where protection is sought, some of which require translation into that country’s native language. The term ‘European patent’ may therefore constitute a bundle of national patent rights (depending on the validations made), each of which can be enforced separately through the relevant national Court.

In most countries, a patent application is subjected to examination for novelty and obviousness, and other requirements, before a patent is granted. Typically, during the examination stage an Examiner will conduct a search for prior art documents to assess the novelty and inventive step of an invention the subject of the application and raise objections as deemed appropriate on the basis of the search results. An opportunity is provided to

6

WHL Energy Ltd

15 December 2016

applicants to overcome any objections raised by the Examiner, typically by filing arguments and/or allowable amendments to the claims of the specification.

An examination stage also occurs as part of the international phase of an International (PCT) application, resulting in an opinion on whether the subject invention is patentable (according to the PCT patentability criteria). Whilst the opinion is non-binding, it is used by the Patent Offices of most countries as a guide during subsequent examination of the corresponding national/regional phase patent applications.

In Australia and most other countries, patent rights may be kept in force for a period of up to 20 years from the date of filing of the complete application on which the patent is granted, upon payment of regular renewal fees, and while the patent is in force the owner has the exclusive right to exploit the invention.

4.0 Potential Limitations of Patent Protection

There can be no assurance that each of the patent applications set out in Section 5.0 will result in the grant of a patent, or that the scope of protection provided by any granted patent will be identical to the scope of the application as originally filed or currently pending. Furthermore, the scope of protection provided by a granted patent in one jurisdiction may differ from that provided by a granted patent in another jurisdiction, due to differences in legislation, examination and the scope of available protection.

Additionally, in many countries, an opportunity is provided for third parties to oppose the grant of a patent application either prior to it proceeding to grant or shortly thereafter.

It should be noted that the grant of a patent does not guarantee validity of that patent since it may be revoked on the grounds of invalidity (which differ between jurisdictions) at any time during its life. If none of the claims of a granted patent are valid then the patent is unenforceable. For example, relevant prior disclosures may be discovered that were not raised during examination, which may limit the scope of patent protection sought, perhaps to a very narrow field.

Further, it should also be noted that the granting of a patent does not guarantee that the patentee has freedom to operate the invention claimed in the patent. It may be that working of a patented invention is prevented by the existence of another earlier patent.

6.0 Trade Mark Protection, Procedures, and Requirements

A trade mark is a badge of origin that is used to distinguish the goods and/or services of one trader from the goods and services of other traders. Trade marks are a tradable property right that are particularly important and valuable once a product or a process enters the market. A trade mark may be, for example, a word, phrase, letter, number, sound, smell, shape, logo, picture, aspect of packaging or a combination of these used to denote the trade source of goods and/or services.

The exclusive right of trade mark owners serves the function of consumer protection as well as protection of interests of traders in both the goodwill associated with their trade marks and the value of a registered trade mark as a property right. An Australian registered trade mark gives the owner the legal right to use, license or sell it within Australia (subject to any other conflicting laws or rights of third parties under common law – for example, superior reputational claims giving rise to confusion) for the goods and services for which it is registered. A registered trade mark gives the owner the right to prevent others from using an identical or deceptively similar mark as a badge of origin in respect of the same or closely related goods or services.

In Australia, trade marks are registered in relation to particular goods or services. These goods and services are categorised into one or more of 45 available international classes.

After lodgement, an Australian trade mark application is examined by IP Australia (the Australian Trade Marks Office).

If there are grounds for objecting to the application, an examination report will issue.

The most common grounds for objecting to a trade mark application are:

  • (a) that the trade mark is descriptive of the goods or services claimed; and

  • (b) that the trade mark is substantially identical with or deceptively similar to an earlier lodged trade mark application or registration, which claims the same or similar goods and/or services.

An initial 15 month period (which can be extended under certain circumstances) is provided for responding to the examination report and overcoming any objections raised.

25

WHL Energy Ltd

15 December 2016

Upon overcoming all objections the trade mark application will be accepted. Acceptance of the trade mark application will be advertised and the application will be open to opposition by a third party. If no opposition is lodged or if the opposition is unsuccessful, the trade mark will be registered (subject to the payment of a registration fee, if the application was made before 10 October 2016, when IP Australia introduced changes to its fee structure).

The registration will then be in force for a period of 10 years from the date of application.

Renewal of the registration is required every 10 years, commencing from the date the application was initially filed, in order to keep the registration active. A trade mark can have infinite life as long as it is renewed every 10 years. However, if a trade mark has not been used (in Australia) in relation to the claimed goods or services for three or more continuous years, it can be removed from the register upon application from a third party.

7.0 The Quantify Trade Marks

7.1 Background

We have been informed that Quantify’s trade mark portfolio consists of 12 Australian trade mark applications/registrations. We have not been instructed to file, and are otherwise unaware of, any trade mark applications/registrations owned by Quantify outside Australia.

In compiling this Report, the filing particulars have been confirmed and the current status ascertained. The trade marks set out in this Section are either pending registration or currently in force. For those marks that remain pending, we set out a summary of their current status.

7.3 Trade Mark Observations

We make the following observations about Quantify’s trade marks:

34

WHL Energy Ltd

15 December 2016

  • (a) the listed owner of Marks 1-5 is “Quantify Technology Pty Ltd”. According to ASIC records, Quantify Technology Pty Ltd converted to a public company (and became Quantify Technology Ltd) in or about April 2016. We are informed by Quantify that the owner’s name will be updated for each of these marks to reflect the correct legal name;

  • (b) the listed owner of Marks 8-12 is Ambient Group Limited. These marks were assigned from Ambient Group Pty Ltd (formerly Ambient Group Limited) ultimately to Quantify Technology Pty Ltd (now known as Quantify Technology Ltd) under a deed dated 1 August 2016 between Ambient Group Pty Ltd and Lapins Holdings Pty Ltd as trustee for the Lapins Family Trust effective 5 May 2014 and then by a further deed made on 25 February 2016 effective 28 January 2015. An application to record the assignment of Marks 8-12 has been filed with IP Australia so that Quantify Technology Ltd will be reflected as the current owner of these marks.

8.0 Domain Name Registration, Procedures and Requirements

Domain Names are an important tool in the e-commerce environment.

When a person registers a domain name, they acquire a license to use the domain name for a specified period of time, under the terms and conditions of the domain name registrar from which the domain name license is acquired. The registrant does not “own” the domain name. Domain name registration must be renewed periodically, and the renewal period varies between different domain names and registrars.

Domain name registrations are allocated on a first come first serve basis, provided that the relevant eligibility rules have been satisfied. A domain name registration does not provide its registrant with any proprietary or exclusive rights to the name in question.

The domain name suffix such as “.com” or “.com.au” is referred to as the Top Level Domain (TLD). TLDs can be generic, such as “.com”, country specific, such as “.com.au”, or industry specific such as “.legal”. Anyone can generally register a generic TLD. In order to register a country specific TLD, it may be necessary to demonstrate a connection with that specific country. For example, in order be eligible to register a .com.au domain, the registrant must be an Australian registered company, trading under a registered business name in Australia, an Australian partnership or sole trader, an owner or applicant of an Australian Registered Trade Mark, an association incorporated in Australia or an Australian commercial statutory body.

35

WHL Energy Ltd

15 December 2016

Domain names can usually be registered by any individual, and unlike registered trade marks, there is usually no mechanism to prevent the registration of a domain name that is similar to your brand by a third party (although there are mechanisms to have such registered domain names transferred or cancelled in certain circumstances).

This means that it is possible for a third party to register a domain name which is similar to your brand which may:

  • (a) seek to trade off the reputation of your brand; or

  • (b) acquire a domain name incorporating your brand with the intention of selling the domain name back to you.

Accordingly, a pragmatic brand protection strategy is to acquire all domain names relating to the jurisdictions of interest to your business first, prior to others acquiring the domain name.

If a domain name which is similar to your brand or registered trade mark has been registered by a third party in bad faith, it is possible to commence an administrative proceeding known has the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy complaint ( UDRP ) against the registrant to have the domain name in question transferred to you. In most instances, entitlement to a domain name registered by a third party must be supported by relevant registered rights (through a trade mark) or reputation in the name.

9.0 The Quantify Domain Names

According to a list of domain names provided us by Quantify, it is the registrant of the domain names listed in the Schedule 1

Upon review of the WHOIS records identifying domain name registrants, we make the following observations about Quantify’s domain names:

  • (a) the “Registrant Organisation” of domain names 2 and 3 is listed as “Ambient Group Pty Ltd”. Relevantly, we are informed by Quantify that it acquired these two domains from their previous owner, Lapins Holdings Pty Ltd as trustee for the Lapins Family Trust who earlier acquired them from Ambient Group Pty Ltd;

  • (b) the “Registrant Organisation” of domain names 4-7, 9-14 and 16-17 is listed as “Quantify Technology” which is not an accurate reflection of the correct legal entity.

36

WHL Energy Ltd

15 December 2016

The correct legal entity is Quantify Technology Ltd;

  • (c) the “Registrant Organisation” of domain names 1,8 and 15 is listed as “Quantify Technology Pty Ltd” which is no longer the correct legal entity for Quantify following the change of its status to a public company.

We understand that WHL Energy has now:

  • (a) requested Quantify amend the WHOIS records for domain names 2 and 3 to reflect Quantify as the registrant of the domains;

  • (b) requested Quantify amend the WHOIS records for domain names in the name of “Quantify Technology” to reflect the proper legal name of the registrant, “Quantify Technology Ltd”;

  • (c) requested Quantify amend the WHOIS records for domain names in the name of “Quantify Technology Pty Ltd” to reflect the proper legal name of the registrant, “Quantify Technology Ltd”.

10.0 Disclaimer and Limitations

The Report is not to be construed as a legal opinion as to the registrability of patent applications or trade mark applications. It should also be appreciated that the Report is not a validity opinion. No conclusions regarding validity based on the Report should be made. Moreover, the Report does not provide any guarantee that the subject invention may be commercially exploited or any trade mark used without risk of infringement of earlier rights. The Report has been provided on the basis of public registry searches and our instructions from WHL Energy and information provided by Quantify (including the review of relevant contracts provided to us) which we are instructed are complete and accurate. However, while all due care has been taken to ascertain that Quantify is the owner of intellectual property referred to in this report, we assume no responsibility for any conclusions which are subsequently found to be inaccurate due to the provision of incomplete instructions to us by Quantify or the existence of material facts which have not been made known to us at this time.

WHL Energy Ltd

15 December 2016

10.1 Patent Disclaimer

Examination Reports in One Country Not Binding In Other Countries

In most countries, patent applications undergo an independent search and examination by the local Patent Office, the results of which are not binding in other jurisdictions. Similarly, international PCT search and examination reports are not binding on national patent applications during subsequent examination in the national phase. Such reports should therefore be regarded as indicative only and not determinative of patentability. It should also be appreciated that the grant of a patent in one country provides no guarantee that patents will be granted in other jurisdictions.

Scope of Claims May Vary during Examination

It is often necessary during the examination of a patent application to define the invention more specifically by amendment of the claims, so as to distinguish relevant prior art. As a result of this process, there may be variations in the claims between countries, reflecting in part the different examination procedures and threshold requirements for patentability, according to national laws. Whilst this is a relatively standard procedure, in certain circumstances, such amendments may affect the scope and hence the commercial significance of the resultant patent protection.

Grant of Patent Provide No Guarantee of Validity

A granted patent provides no guarantee of validity. In most jurisdictions, a patent application undergoes a substantive examination process before proceeding to grant which confers an initial presumption of validity. However, the validity of a patent may be challenged at any time after grant, by way of revocation proceedings filed in a Court of competent jurisdiction.

Grant of Patent Provides No Guarantee of Non-Infringement

The grant of a patent provides no guarantee that the patentee is entitled to commercially exploit the patented invention, since the working of an invention, even if validly patented, may infringe an earlier patent or other intellectual property rights.

10.2 Trade Mark Disclaimer

This Report is based upon the Australian Trade Marks Office records of registered, published and pending trade marks. Our searches included only those trade mark applications and registrations that had been filed, indexed, and made available online at the date of our search in the name of Quantify. There may be a delay of a day or two (but occasionally more) between the date on which an application is filed and the date on which it first becomes available online. Accordingly, it is possible that relevant applications filed shortly before our search was conducted remain undetected. In addition, details of trade mark applications are not entered on the database records strictly in accordance with their order of receipt by the Trade Marks Office. Hence it is possible that records covered by our search do not include some trade mark applications that were filed shortly before our search was conducted. It is also possible that a relevant application that was not filed until after the search was conducted may (under the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property) claim a priority date of up to six months earlier from a trade mark application filed in another country, and that therefore would not have been located in our search. We also point out that the Trade Marks Office does not guarantee the accuracy of its computer records.

10.3 Domain Name Disclaimer

This Report is based upon the WHOIS records of the list of domain names provided to us by Quantify. Hence it is possible that records covered by our search do not include domains that are owned Quantify but for which we were not notified. We also point out that the various registrars do not guarantee the accuracy of the data contained in the WHOIS record.

  • (a) the audited Statement of Financial Position of Quantify as at 30 June 2016; and

  • (b) the unaudited pro-forma Statement Financial Position of WHL (after completion of the Transaction) as at 30 June 2016.

Investors are urged to read the Investigating Accountant’s Report in full.

The full audited financial statements for WHL for its financial years ended 30 June 2014, 2015 and 2016, which include the notes to the financial statements, can be found on WHL’s website: www.whlenergy.com.au or WHL’s ASX announcements platform on www.asx.com.au.

7.2 Forecast financial information

The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of WHL and Quantify are inherently uncertain. Any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.

7.3 Dividend Policy

It is anticipated, post completion of the Transaction, WHL will focus on the development and commercialisation of the Quantify Business. WHL does not expect to declare any dividends during this period.

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by WHL will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings and operating results and financial condition of WHL, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Board. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by WHL.

2. Scope of Report

You have requested HLB Mann Judd (“HLB”) to prepare this Report presenting the following information:

  • a) the historical audited financial information of Quantify, comprising the historical Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2016 and the historical Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended as set out in Appendix 1 to this Report; and

  • b) the proforma financial information of the Company, comprising the proforma Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2016 and the proforma Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended.

This information is presented under the following two scenarios:

  • $3,500,000 capital raising (minimum); and

  • $5,000,000 capital raising (maximum).

For accounting purposes, the acquisition of Quantify by the Company has the features of a reverse acquisition under Australian Accounting Standard AASB 3 “ Business Combinations” , notwithstanding that the Company is the legal parent of the group. At acquisition date the net assets of Quantify are recorded at their book value and the net assets of the Company are recorded at fair value.

Consequently the historical financial information presented in this Report is the historical financial information of Quantify as at 30 June 2016 which has been subject to audit.

The proforma financial information presented in this Report is the historical financial information of Quantify for the year ended 30 June 2016, assuming that the acquisition of Quantify by the Company and the other proposed transactions set out in Section 3(b) of this Report had been completed as at that date.

The Directors have prepared and are responsible for the historical and proforma financial information. We disclaim any responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the financial information to which it relates for any purposes other than that for which it was prepared. This Report should be read in conjunction with the full Prospectus.

We performed a review of the historical audited financial information of Quantify as at and for the year ended 30 June 2016 and the proforma unaudited financial information of Quantify and the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2016 in order to ensure consistency in the application of applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements.

Our review of the historical financial information and the proforma financial information of the Company was carried out in accordance with Standard on Assurance Engagements ASAE 3450 “ Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information ” and included such enquiries and procedures which we considered necessary for the purposes of this Report.

The review procedures undertaken by HLB in our role as Investigating Accountants were substantially less in scope than that of an audit examination conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Our review was limited primarily to an examination of the historical financial information and the proforma information, analytical review procedures and discussions with senior management. A review of this nature provides less assurance than an audit and, accordingly, this Report does not express an audit opinion on the historical financial information and proforma financial information included in this Report or elsewhere in the Prospectus.

Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit report or review report on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.

In relation to the information presented in this Report:

  • a) support by another person, corporation or an unrelated entity has not been assumed; b) the amounts shown in respect of assets do not purport to be the amounts that would have been realised if the assets were sold at the date of this Report; and

  • c) the going concern basis of accounting has been adopted.

On 3 November 2016, the Company announced a proposed consolidation of capital on an 83:1 basis. The consolidation of capital was completed on 7 December 2016.

On 3 November 2016, the Company announced that it had entered into a conditional sale and purchase deed for the disposal of the Company’s interest in VIC/P67 subject to any required shareholder approval and relevant authority approvals in exchange for a royalty of 1% of sales gas revenue to a maximum of $7.5m.

5. Statements

Based on our review, which was not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that causes us to believe that:

  • a) the historical audited financial information of Quantify as at 30 June 2016 as set out in Appendix 1 of this Report, does not present fairly the financial position of the Company as at that date in accordance with the measurement and recognition requirements (but not all of the disclosure requirements) of applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory reporting requirements in Australia and its performance as represented by the results of its operations for the year then ended; and

  • b) the proforma financial information of WHL as at 30 June 2016 as set out in Appendix 1 of this Report, does not present fairly the financial position of the Company as at that date in accordance with the measurement and recognition requirements (but not all of the disclosure requirements) of applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory reporting requirements in Australia and its performance as represented by its results of its operations for the period then ended. As noted in Section 2 of this Report, the proforma financial information presented in this Report is the historical financial information of Quantify for the year ended 30 June 2016, assuming that the acquisition of Quantify by the Company and the other proposed transactions set out in Section 3(b) of this Report had been completed as at that date.

6. Declaration

  • a) HLB will be paid its usual professional fees based on time involvement, for the preparation of this Report and review of the financial information, at our normal professional rates (expected to be $17,500).

  • b) Apart from the above fees, neither HLB, nor any of its associates will receive any other benefits, either directly or indirectly, in connection with the preparation of this Report.

  • c) Neither HLB, nor any of its employees or associated persons has any interest in WHL or the promotion of the Company. HLB is the appointed auditor of the Company.

  • d) Unless specifically referred to in this Report, or elsewhere in the Prospectus, HLB was not involved in the preparation of any other part of the Prospectus and did not cause the issue

of any other part of the Prospectus. Accordingly, HLB makes no representations or warranties as to the completeness or accuracy of the information contained in any other part of the Prospectus.

  • e) HLB has consented to the inclusion of this Report in the Prospectus in the form and context in which it appears. The inclusion of this Report should not be taken as an endorsement of the Company or a recommendation by HLB of any participation in the Company by an intending subscriber.

WHL ENERGY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies which have been adopted in the preparation of the historical and proforma financial information by WHL Energy Limited (“WHL” or the “Company”) reported under Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”) are shown below.

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the measurement requirements (but not all of the disclosure requirements) of applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia using the accrual basis of accounting, including the historical cost convention.

Compliance with IFRS

The financial information complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial information, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, comply with measurement requirements but not all of the disclosure requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards.

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risks of changes in value.

(c) Trade and other Receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectable amounts.

An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified.

(d) Financial Instruments

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Transaction costs on the issue of equity

WHL Energy Limited

  • 13 -

WHL ENERGY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

instruments are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which would not have been incurred had those instruments not been issued.

Interest and dividends are classified as expenses or as distributions of profit consistent with the statement of financial position classification of the related debt or equity instruments or component parts of compound instruments.

(e) Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Company makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless that asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying value does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

(f) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred, except for borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets when the interest is capitalised to the qualifying assets.

(g) Trade and Other Payables

Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.

WHL Energy Limited

  • 14 -

WHL ENERGY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(h) Goods and Services Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except when the GST incurred on the purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(i) Provisions and Employee Leave Benefits

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cashflows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying value is the present value of those cashflows. Where some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, for example under an insurance contract, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Employee leave benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

(j) Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the Company. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

WHL Energy Limited

  • 15 -

WHL ENERGY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and a liability equal to the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Leased assets are depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the Company will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(k) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are removed from the Statement of Financial Position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in other income or other expenses.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

(l) Contributed Equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

Where any group company purchases the Company’s equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy-back, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the owners of the Company as treasury shares until the shares are cancelled or reissued.

WHL ENERGY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the owners of WHL Energy Limited.

(m) Share-based payment transactions

The Company provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Company in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of WHL Energy Limited (market conditions) if applicable.

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.

The Statement of Comprehensive Income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

(n) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable,

WHL Energy Limited

which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s carrying amount.

(o) Income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:

  • when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • when the taxable temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill; or

  • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which the deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised, except:

  • when the deductible temporary difference giving rise to the asset arises from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income; or

  • when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

WHL Energy Limited

  • 18 -

WHL ENERGY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(p) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (collectively referred to as “the Group”). Control is achieved when the Company:

  • has power over the investee;

  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements listed above.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has the power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether the Company’s voting rights are sufficient to give it power, including:

  • the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

  • potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties, rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholder meetings.

WHL ENERGY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the controlling interest having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members are eliminated in full on consolidation.

(q) Reverse acquisition accounting

The acquisition of Quantify by the Company has the features of a reverse acquisition under Australian Accounting Standard AASB 3 “ Business Combination s”, notwithstanding the Company being the legal parent of the group. Consequently the historical financial information presented in this Report for the year ended 30 June 2016 is the audited historical financial information of Quantify.

The acquisition of Quantify by the Company is outside the scope of AASB 3 as the accounting acquiree does not constitute a business as defined by this Standard. In this instance, the principles of reverse acquisition accounting are applied to determine the accounting acquirer but the transactions are accounted for as share-based payments by the accounting acquirer for the net identifiable assets of the accounting acquiree in accordance with AASB 2 “ Share-based Payment ”.

The legal structure of the group subsequent to the acquisition of Quantify will be that the Company will remain as the legal parent entity. However, the principles of reverse acquisition accounting are applicable where the owners of the acquired entity (in this case, Quantify) obtain control of the acquiring entity (in this case, the Company) as a result of the businesses’ combination.

Under reverse acquisition accounting, the consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of the legal parent (the Company) but are a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary (Quantify), with the assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary being recognised and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts rather than their fair values.

(r) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Share based payment transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

  • Impairment of non financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangibles

The Company assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Company and to the particular assets that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or fair value calculations which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

(s) Proforma transactions

The proforma Statement of Financial Position of the Company as at 30 June 2016, and the proforma Statement of Comprehensive Income and proforma Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended as they would appear after incorporating the following actual or proposed significant events and transactions by the Company subsequent to 30 June 2016:

  • (i) the consolidation of the share capital and options on issue of the Company on an 83:1 basis;

9. RISK FACTORS

9.1 Introduction

The securities offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in WHL is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for securities and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

This Section identifies circumstances that the Directors regard as the major risks associated with an investment in WHL and which may have a material adverse impact on the financial performance of WHL and the market price of the Shares if they were to arise.

There are specific risks associated with the contemplated Transaction (Section 9.2) and the business, assets and operations of Quantify (Section 9.3), as well as other general investment risks (Section 9.4), many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors.

The following risk factors are not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which WHL is exposed and this Section has been prepared without taking into account applicants’ individual financial objectives, financial situation and particular needs. Applicants should seek professional investment advice if they have any queries in relation to making an investment in WHL.

9.2 Risks relating to the Change in Nature and Scale of Activities

(a) Contractual Risk

In order for WHL to be able to achieve its objectives and complete the Merger, WHL is reliant on Quantify complying with its respective contractual obligations under the MIA. Should Quantify fail to comply with the terms of the MIA, the Merger may not complete meaning WHL will not acquire an interest in Quantify. Further, if a party defaults in the performance of its contractual obligations it may be necessary for WHL to approach a court to seek a legal remedy. Legal action can be costly and there can be no guarantee that a legal remedy will be ultimately granted on the appropriate terms. There can be no guarantee that the Merger will be completed.

(b) Conditions of the Merger and Re-Quotation of Securities on ASX

The Merger is dependent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, which include (but are not limited to) completion of the Equity Offer and Shareholder approval and completion of the Essential Resolutions. As the Merger constitutes a significant change in the nature and scale of WHL’s activities, WHL is also required to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

Trading in WHL’s securities has been suspended following the date of WHL’s announcement of the Merger and will continue to be suspended until WHL satisfies the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3. There is a risk that WHL may not be able to meet the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation of its securities on the ASX. Should this occur, the securities will not be able to be traded on the ASX until such time as those requirements can be

50

3191-15/1629449_1

met, if at all. Shareholders would then be prevented from trading their securities should WHL be suspended until such time as it does re-comply with the ASX Listing Rules.

(c)

Dilution Risk

WHL currently has 67,050,073 Shares on issue. In addition to the Shares to be issued under the Equity Offer, on completion of the Merger, WHL proposes to issue:

  • (i) up to 250,000,000 Shares and 120,000,000 Performance Shares under the Share Takeover Offer;

  • (ii) 11,826,787 Shares to acquire all Quantify Class C Shares; and

  • (iii) up to 10,833,333 Shares to Quantify Convertible Loan Holders.

Assuming a Minimum Subscription of $3.5 million under the Equity Offer, no exercise of Options and no conversion of Performance Shares or Founder Performance Shares, the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 16.8% of the issued capital of WHL (i.e. they will be diluted by approximately 83.2%), with the holders of Quantify Ordinary Shares holding 62.8% and investors under the Equity Offer holding 14.7% of the issued capital of WHL respectively.

Assuming the Maximum Subscription of $5 million under the Equity Offer, the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 15.8% of the issued capital of WHL (i.e. they will be diluted by approximately 84.2%), with the holders of Quantify Ordinary Shares holding 59.1% and investors under the Equity Offer holding 19.7% of the issued capital of WHL respectively.

Assuming a Minimum Subscription, if all the WHL Bid Options are exercised, and all of the Performance Shares, Founder Performance Shares and Performance Rights vest and are converted into Shares, a further 223,825,622 Shares will be issued and the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 10.8% of the issued capital of WHL (i.e. they will be diluted by approximately 89.2%), with the holders of Quantify Ordinary Shares and Quantify Ordinary Options holding 76% and investors under the Equity Offer holding 9.4% of the issued capital of WHL.

There is also a risk that the interests of Shareholders will be further diluted as a result of future capital raisings required in order to fund the development of Quantify’s business.

(d)

Liquidity Risk

On the Effective Date, WHL proposes to issue up to 250,000,000 Shares to the holders of Quantify Ordinary Shares, up to 11,826,787 Shares to Quantify Class C Shareholders and up to 10,833,333 Shares to Quantify Convertible Loan Holders.

These Shares may be subject to escrow restrictions in accordance with Chapter 9 of the ASX Listing Rules. This could result in an increased liquidity risk as a substantial portion of issued capital may not be able to be traded freely for a period of time.

51

3191-15/1629449_1

9.3 Risks in respect of Quantify’s current operations

(a) Capital and Funding Requirements

Given its initial focus on growing its market share, Quantify has negative operating cashflow and, at present, it does not currently have any revenue. No assurance can be given that Quantify will achieve commercial viability though its existing technology or otherwise. Until Quantify is able to realise value from its technology, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses. It is intended that the Capital Raising will provide for Quantify’s funding in the immediate term. However, depending on how successfully Quantify times and executes it monetisation and depending on the opportunities that arise for business development, Quantify may require further resources to achieve its aims going forward. Beyond its regular operating expenses, additional funding may also be deemed necessary to take advantage of Merger, promotional or other business opportunities. These funds may come in the form of further investments or loans. While the Directors and Proposed Directors believe that Quantify represents an exciting and attractive investment opportunity, WHL may not be able to secure funding on acceptable terms. Its ability to raise further capital and the terms on which it does so may depend on macro-economic conditions, the performance of Quantify and of the broader Internet of Things technology industry at the time, and the risks associated with the intended use of the funds. If Quantify is unable to access these funds, or is unable to do so on acceptable terms, this could adversely affect WHL’s position.

(b) Development and commercialisation of the Quantify technology

The success of the Merged Group post completion of the Merger will depend upon Quantify’s ability to develop and commercialise the Quantify technology and Quantify Intellectual Property. A failure to successfully develop and commercialise the Quantify technology could lead to a loss of opportunities and adversely impact on the Merged Group’s operating results and financial position. The global marketplace for most products is ever changing due to new technologies, new products, changes in preferences, changes in regulation and other factors influencing market acceptance or market rejection. This market volatility and risk exists despite the best endeavours of market research, promotion and sales and licensing campaigns. There is a risk that, if the Quantify technology is not accepted by the market, Quantify will not be able to commercialise its Internet of Things products, which could adversely impact the Merged Group’s operations.

The market for “Internet of Things” is still relatively new. It is uncertain whether “Internet of Things” devices will achieve wide market acceptance. Quantify’s success will depend to a substantial extent on the willingness of consumers to widely adopt these devices. In part, adoption of Quantify’s Products will depend on the increasing prevalence of “Internet of Things” devices and the profile of the market as a whole. Furthermore, some consumers may be unwilling to use “Internet of Things” devices because they have concerns regarding data privacy and security. If consumers do not perceive the benefits of “Internet of Things” devices or choose not to adopt them, the market may develop more slowly than expected which would adversely affect Quantify’s business, financial condition and operating results.

52

3191-15/1629449_1

Quantify could experience delays in completing the development and introduction of its Products. Problems in the design or quality of Quantify’s Products may also have an adverse effect on Quantify’s business, financial condition, and operating results. If Product introductions are delayed or not successful, Quantify may not be able to achieve an acceptable return, if any, on its research and development efforts, and Quantify’s business may be adversely affected. Expenditure on research and development may not produce the intended results. Additionally, investments in new technologies, processes and products may not produce returns for the Company above the cost of development of those technologies, products and processes.

(c) Redundancy, Upgradability and Scalability Risk

There is a risk that industry standards might change in relation to standard communication protocols (for example wifi, zigbee protocols becoming obsolete) and that Quantify’s current communication architecture base may become redundant or no longer supported.

Quantify believes that it is well placed to address this risk owing to its modular design. Quantify will ensure that its current technology choices and architecture use industry standard development frameworks and monitors these industry standards.

(d) Intellectual property

Securing rights to intellectual property, and in particular patents, is an integral part of securing potential product value from the development of Quantify’s technology. Competition in retaining and sustaining protection of intellectual property and the complex nature of intellectual property can lead to expensive and lengthy patents disputes for which there can be no guaranteed outcome. The granting of a patent does not guarantee that the rights of others are not infringed nor that competitors will not develop competing intellectual property that circumvents such patents. Quantify’s success depends, in part, on its ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.

The Intellectual Property Report at Section 6 of this Prospectus sets out Quantify’s current patents, patent applications and trade mark rights currently held. As some of these patents have not yet been granted, without the priority date for some of its intellectual property there is a risk of third parties lodging patents in the same field with an earlier priority date, as well as the publication of similar methods to those envisioned in the Quantify patents which would invalidate any future Quantify patent claims.

There is also a risk of third parties claiming involvement in technological developments, and if any disputes arise, they could adversely affect Quantify’s business. Except as disclosed below, Quantify is not aware of any third party interests in relation to the intellectual property rights of the Quantify technology, there has not been any external analysis of patents to determine whether the Quantify technology infringes any existing patents. This provides for the potential risk of claims being made at a later point which may incur costs for Quantify through the need for licensing of further patents. The Merged Group’s prospects may also depend on Quantify’s ability to licence third party proprietary technology necessary for the development of the Quantify technology. Breach of any licence

53

3191-15/1629449_1

agreements, or infringement of the licensed intellectual property by third parties, may have an adverse impact on Quantify’s ability to develop its technology.

(e) Lack of patent protection in some jurisdictions

An integral part of Quantify’s business will be its ability to obtain and sustain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing proprietary rights of third parties. The granting of protection, such as a registered patent, does not guarantee that the rights of others are not infringed, that competitors will not develop technology to avoid the patent or that third parties will not claim an interest in the intellectual property with a view to seeking a commercial benefit from Quantify or its partners. In this regard, based on the perceived cost versus benefit of doing so, Quantify has decided not to pursue patent filing in certain jurisdictions. This may allow competitors in such jurisdictions to develop products functionally identical to Quantify Products and Quantify may not be able to seek injunctive or financial relief against those companies by virtue of not having registered interests in those jurisdictions. No guarantee can be given that the patents will give Quantify commercially significant protection of its intellectual property.

Quantify has notified a third party that it may be developing a product that might fall within the scope of Quantify’s Australian patent (Application number 2013204864), and has invited the party to engage at a commercial level to discuss a beneficial way forward. Quantify may not be able to reach agreement with the party that is potentially in breach and at such stage, will have to evaluate what course of action it should take in relation to the breach.

(f) Trade Marks

Quantify is the applicant of pending trade mark applications. Objections have been raised by the relevant examiner in a case to the wording of the services claimed and, in the case of one of the Quantify trademarks, on the basis of allegedly similar trade marks on the Trade Marks register. There is a risk that this and any other potential future objections may not be able to be overcome, and accordingly a risk that the trade mark application may not be accepted, and subsequently registered. While this may not prevent Quantify from continuing to trade under the relevant brands, it may limit Quantify’s ability to prevent a competing product from being made available by another party using the same or similar branding.

(g) Sales risk

In order to commercialise the Quantify technology, the Merged Group will need to develop a successful sales model for delivery of the Quantify technology to customers. Potential sales models include the reseller strategy and direct sales model. The reseller model provides significant advantages to a smaller business by increasing its reach to the customer. However, risk lies in the ability or motivation of the reseller achieving agreed sales volumes not being under the direct control of the Merged Group. This can only be mitigated through the reseller agreements providing clauses in relation to non-performance of meeting mutually agreed sales targets. The direct sales model has the benefit of the Merged Group retaining control of the sales process. However, the sale of technically complex products requires additional financial resources

54

3191-15/1629449_1

and specialized sales staff. There is a risk that the Merged Group may lack the financial and technical capacity to implement successful sales channels across borders and to different geographical regions. The inability of the Merged Group to implement a successful sales model will have an adverse impact on the future success and profitability of the Merged Group.

(h) Global Market Risk

Quantify’s future aim is to take the Q Device into global markets, thus Quantify’s continued growth is dependent on it entering new markets. Any expansion into new markets could expose Quantify to a number of risks including different regulatory systems, difficulties managing foreign operations, exchange rate fluctuations, differences in consumer behaviour, potential political and economic instability and potential difficulties in enforcing contracts and intellectual property rights. Any of these factors could materially affect Quantify’s business, financial performance and operations.

(i)

Competition risk

There is significant competition in the Internet of Things industry generally, with companies offering a variety of competitive products and services. Competition in the Internet of Things industry is expected to intensify in the future as new and existing competitors introduce new or enhanced products that are potentially more competitive than Quantify’s products. The Internet of Things industry has a multitude of participants, including many large, broad-based consumer electronic companies that compete in Quantify’s market.

There is no assurance that competitors will not succeed in developing products that are more effective or economic than the products developed by Quantify, or which would render the products obsolete and/or otherwise uncompetitive.

The large number of market participants can complicate customers’ discrimination between competitors, increasing the difficulty of achieving market share and revenue. Quantify may be unable to compete successfully against future competitors where aggressive policies are employed to capture market share. Such competition could result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially adversely affect the Merged Group’s future business, operating results and financial position.

There is also the potential for significant consolidation in Quantify’s targeted market, resulting in a fewer number of competitors each having greater financial and other resources. Any such consolidation before the commercialisation of Quantify’s technology could also adversely affect Quantify’s ability to gain market share and commercialise its technology.

(j) Staffing and reliance on key management

Quantify will rely heavily on the experience and knowledge of Mark Lapins and Aidan Montague. In the event that any of these persons or any other key personnel that Quantify subsequently leaves Quantify and Quantify is unable to recruit suitable replacements, such loss could have a materially adverse effect on Quantify.

55

3191-15/1629449_1

The responsibility of successfully implementing Quantify’s development and commercialisation strategy 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 Merged Group if one or more of these employees cease their employment with Quantify. There is also a risk to the business where there is a turnover of development staff that have knowledge of the technology and business. This loss of knowledge could result in leakage or misappropriation of confidential information. Whilst Quantify aims to mitigate this risk by imposing contractual restraints on use and ownership of Quantify’s confidential information, there could also be increased costs for Quantify in having to replace the implicit knowledge and skills of departing employees.

(k) Dependence on the Internet and telecommunications infrastructure

The success of Quantify and its products will depend to some extent on the availability and stability of telecommunications infrastructure, and in particular the infrastructure over which devices directly communicate with each other and the internet. The utility of both connectivity and the internet for carrying communications between devices can be adversely impacted upon as a result of the rapidly increasing demands for bandwidth, data security, reliability, cost, accessibility and quality of service. Delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle these increased demands may impact on the adoption of Quantify and ultimately the success of Quantify’s business. The performance of the internet has been harmed by “viruses,” “worms” and similar malicious programs, and the internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure. Importantly, Quantify’s Q device is agnostic of the transmission technology used. A wide range of wireless as well as wireline options can be used and would be dependent upon the application and development resources. This is a decision made by the manufacturer on what best suits the needs of their customers. Note that Quantify’s platform does not rely on access to the internet for basic functionality.

(l) Hacker risk, Technology, disruption, corruption, systems failure

Security concerns and the possibility of data corruption and data manipulation are particular concerns with most wireless technology. Where consumers perceive that Quantify is insecure and open to being hacked then the adoption of Quantify’s technology may be impacted. This may ultimately impact on the success of Quantify’s business. Whilst Quantify have sought as part of the design of their technology to incorporate enterprise grade security aspects, at the present time this security design is still being investigated and no assurance can be given at this time that Quantify’s technology will be immune from the usual range of IoT technology risks. To mitigate any risks associated with this security, Quantify will be implementing changes to the hardware design to include an AES encryption engine.

(m) Third Party Reliance Risk

There is a risk that the technology used by Quantify in the development of its solution may subsequently require payment for upgrade or the payment of royalties to proprietors of that technology. This applies both to hardware components and software platforms comprising Quantify’s IoT Solution.

56

3191-15/1629449_1

Quantify’s current strategy seeks to avoid the risk of dependence on proprietary third party technology by using technology with standardised open source or royalty free tools and libraries where possible. Quantify is of the view that if the technology it currently uses becomes proprietary in the future, or existing proprietary technology currently in use by Quantify becomes subject to commercial terms that are not acceptable to Quantify, there are existing alternate and often open source technologies which are available. However, the Company cannot guarantee that such alternatives will remain available at all times or at a commercially feasible cost.

Quantify currently uses third party tools and components in the development of its technology and as such faces a risk that those tools and components contain limitations and imperfections such as bugs or errors which may adversely affect the operation of the Quantify Solution. This problem can occur with any third party tools or technologies in use by Quantify. Quantify seeks to mitigate this risk by ensuring that it maintains an agile development process involved with patching and updates of both hardware and software where these problems are publicly identified. Additionally, Quantify testing and quality assurance seeks to reduce the potential risks caused by the incorporation of third party component and software library updates.

(n) Relationships with suppliers

Quantify will rely on sourcing chips, sensors and other componentry ( Components ) from various suppliers and any material adverse change in Quantify’s relationships with its suppliers, its terms of trade, or the ability of key suppliers to meet orders could have a negative impact on its operations. Quantify’s business model revolves largely around the supply of hardware and this target revenue stream relies heavily upon the supply of these Components for hardware manufacture. Quantify is in discussions with various Components suppliers to mitigate the risk of availability and other supplier problems.

(o) Regulatory risks

Currently there are few IoT-specific laws and regulations. However in Australia, IoT-based technologies may be impacted by informational privacy laws. Such laws differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In Australia, the collection, use, storage and disclosure of “personal information” is principally regulated by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) ( Privacy Act ). The Privacy Act does not prohibit IoT-based technologies but it could in certain circumstances impose additional compliance obligations on businesses who use or commercialise those technologies. If Quantify’s technology collects data which falls within the definition of “personal information”, or the data aggregated with other datasets which together could be considered personal information, then the compliance regime under the Privacy Act will apply to Quantify in respect of the collection, use, storage and disclosure of that “personal information”. Quantify will take steps to ensure compliance with any applicable requirements of the Privacy Act. There is the risk that increased regulation may be imposed on IoT-based technologies and therefore Quantify’s business may incur additional regulatory compliance costs, potentially effecting Quantify’s business, financial performance and operations.

57

3191-15/1629449_1

9.4 General Risks Relating to the Merged Group

(a) Management of growth

There is a risk that management of the Merged Group will not be able to implement the Merged Group’s growth strategy after completion of the Merger. The capacity of the new management to properly implement and manage the strategic direction of the Merged Group may affect the Merged Group’s financial performance.

Since incorporation, Quantify’s business has expanded rapidly as it has retained key management, sales, development and operational staff. Consequently, Quantify’s operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected if it is unable to appropriately manage this recent expansion and the increased scale of the business together with the planned commercialisation of various products.

(b) Risk of High Volume of Sale of Securities in WHL

If the Merger is successfully completed, WHL will have issued a significant number of new Shares to various parties. Some of the Quantify Securityholders and others that receive Shares as a result of the Merger may not intend to continue to hold those Shares and may wish to sell them on ASX (subject to any applicable escrow period). There is a risk that an increase in the amount of people wanting to sell Shares may adversely impact on the market price of securities.

There can be no assurance that there will be, or continue to be, an active market for Shares or that the price of Shares will increase. As a result, investors may, upon selling their Shares, receive a market price for their securities that is less than the price offered under this Prospectus.

(c) Acquisition of less than 90% of Quantify Ordinary Shares

It is possible that WHL could acquire a relevant interest of less than 90% of all Quantify Ordinary Shares on issue under the Share Takeover Offer (in the event that WHL waives, with the prior written consent of Quantify, the 90% minimum acceptance condition). The existence of third party minority interests in Quantify Ordinary Shares may have an impact on the operations of Quantify as Quantify would not, in those circumstances, be a wholly owned subsidiary of WHL. However, this impact will depend upon the ultimate level of WHL ownership in Quantify.

(d) Trading Price of Shares

WHL’s operating results, economic and financial prospects and other factors will affect the trading price of the Shares. In addition, the price of Shares is subject to varied and often unpredictable influences on the market for equities, including, but not limited to general economic conditions including the performance of the Australian dollar and United States dollar on world markets, inflation rates, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, variations in the general market for listed stocks in general, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation, industrial disputes, general operational and business risks and hedging or arbitrage trading activity that may develop involving the Shares.

In particular, the share prices for many companies have been and may in the future be highly volatile, which in many cases may reflect a diverse

58

3191-15/1629449_1

range of non-company specific influences such as global hostilities and tensions relating to certain unstable regions of the world, acts of terrorism and the general state of the global economy. No assurances can be made that WHL’s market performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors.

(e)

Additional Requirements for Capital

The capital requirements of the Merged Group will depend on numerous factors. Depending on the ability of the Merged Group to generate income from its operations, the Merged Group may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Capital Raising. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Merged Group is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations.

(f)

Market risk

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Merged Group’s quoted securities regardless of the Merged Group’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) commodity price fluctuations;

  • (v) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • (vi) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • (vii) terrorism and other hostilities.

(g)

Acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Merged Group may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies, products, technologies and/or products that are complementary to Quantify’s business. Any such future transactions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products and technologies, such as integrating cultures and systems of operation, relocation of operations, short term strain on working capital requirements, achieving the sales and margins anticipated and retaining key staff and customer and supplier relationships.

(h)

Litigation Risks

The Merged Group is exposed to possible litigation risks including intellectual property claims, contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Merged Group may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on

59

3191-15/1629449_1

the Merged Group’s operations, financial performance and financial position. Neither WHL nor Quantify is currently engaged in any litigation.

(i) Investment Speculative

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by WHL, the Merged Group or by investors in WHL. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above may, in the future, materially affect the financial performance of the Merged Group and the value of the Merged Group’s securities.

10.5 Corporate Governance

10.5.1 ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations

The Company has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company's needs.

To the extent applicable, the Company has adopted The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd Edition) as published by ASX Corporate Governance Council ( Recommendations ).

In light of the Company’s size and nature, the Board considers that the current board is a cost effective and practical method of directing and managing the Company. As the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.

The Company’s main corporate governance policies and practices as at the date of this Prospectus are outlined below and the Company’s full Corporate Governance Plan is available in a dedicated corporate governance information section of the Company’s website (www.whlenergy.com.au).

10.5.2 Board of directors

The Board is responsible for corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. The goals of the corporate governance processes are to:

  • (a) maintain and increase Shareholder value;

  • (b) ensure a prudential and ethical basis for the Company’s conduct and activities; and

  • (c) ensure compliance with the Company’s legal and regulatory objectives.

Consistent with these goals, the Board assumes the following responsibilities:

  • (a) leading and setting the strategic direction and objectives of the Company;

67

3191-15/1629449_1

  • (b) appointing the Chairman of the Board, Managing Director or Chief Executive Officer and approving the appointment of Executives and the Company Secretary;

  • (c) overseeing the Executive’s implementation of the Company’s strategic objectives and performance generally;

  • (d) approving operating budgets, major capital expenditure and significant acquisitions and divestitures;

  • (e) overseeing the integrity of the Company’s accounting and corporate reporting systems, including the external audit (satisfying itself financial statements released to the market fairly and accurately reflect the Company’s financial position and performance);

  • (f) overseeing the Company’s procedures and processes for making timely and balanced disclosure of all material information that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities;

  • (g) reviewing, ratifying and monitoring the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management framework, corporate governance policies and systems designed to ensure legal compliance; and

  • (h) approving the Company’s remuneration framework.

The Company is committed to the circulation of relevant materials to Directors in a timely manner to facilitate Directors’ participation in the Board discussions on a fully-informed basis.

10.5.3 Composition of the Board

Election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in general meeting. However, subject thereto:

  • (a) membership of the Board of Directors will be reviewed regularly to ensure the mix of skills and expertise is appropriate; and

  • (b) the composition of the Board has been structured so as to provide the Company with an adequate mix of directors with industry knowledge, technical, commercial and financial skills together with integrity and judgment considered necessary to represent shareholders and fulfil the business objectives of the Company.

The Board currently consists of three directors (all of whom are non-executive Directors) and all are considered independent. The Board considers the current balance of skills and expertise is appropriate for the Company for its currently planned level of activity. Following completion of the Transaction, the Board is proposed to consist of three members, none of whom will be independent.

To assist the Board in evaluating the appropriateness of the Board’s mix of qualifications, experience and expertise, the Board will maintain a Board Skills Matrix.

The Board undertakes appropriate checks before appointing a person as a Director or putting forward to Shareholders a candidate for election as a Director.

68

3191-15/1629449_1

The Board ensures that Shareholders are provided with all material information in the Board’s possession relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a Director.

The Company shall develop and implement a formal induction program for Directors which allows new directors to participate fully and actively in Board decision-making at the earliest opportunity, and enable new Directors to gain an understanding of the Company’s policies and procedures.

10.5.4 Identification and management of risk

The Board’s collective experience will enable accurate identification of the principal risks that may affect the Company’s business. Key operational risks and their management will be recurring items for deliberation at Board meetings.

10.5.5 Ethical standards

The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.

10.5.6 Independent professional advice

Subject to the Chairman’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Directors, at the Company’s expense, may obtain independent professional advice on issues arising in the course of their duties.

10.5.7 Remuneration arrangements

The remuneration of an executive Director will be decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process.

The total maximum remuneration of non-executive Directors is initially set by the Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director. The current amount has been set at an amount not to exceed $350,000 per annum.

In addition, a Director may be paid fees or other amounts (i.e. subject to any necessary Shareholder approval, non-cash performance incentives such as Options) as the Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director.

Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.

The Board reviews and approves the remuneration policy to enable the Company to attract and retain executives and Directors who will create value for Shareholders having consideration to the amount considered to be commensurate for a company of its size and level of activity as well as the relevant Directors’ time, commitment and responsibility. The Board is also responsible for reviewing any employee incentive and equity-based plans including the appropriateness of performance hurdles and total payments proposed.

69

3191-15/1629449_1

10.5.8 Trading policy

The Board has adopted a policy that sets out the guidelines on the sale and purchase of securities in the Company by its directors, officers, employees and contractors. The policy generally provides that for directors, the written acknowledgement of the Chair (or the Board in the case of the Chairman) must be obtained prior to trading.

10.5.9 External audit

The Company in general meetings is responsible for the appointment of the external auditors of the Company, and the Board from time to time will review the scope, performance and fees of those external auditors.

10.5.10 Audit committee

The Company will not have a separate audit committee until such time as the Board is of a sufficient size and structure, and the Company’s operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company. In the meantime, the full Board will carry out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to that committee under the written terms of reference for that committee, including but not limited to, monitoring and reviewing any matters of significance affecting financial reporting and compliance, the integrity of the financial reporting of the Company, the Company’s internal financial control system and risk management systems and the external audit function.

10.5.11 Departures from Recommendations

Under the ASX Listing Rules the Company will be required to provide a statement in its annual financial report or on its website disclosing the extent to which it has followed the Recommendations during each reporting period. Where the Company has not followed a Recommendation, it must identify the Recommendation that has not been followed and give reasons for not following it.

The Company’s departures from the Recommendations will also be announced prior to re-admission to the official list of the ASX.

11.6 Rights and liabilities attaching to WHL Shares (including New Shares)

The WHL Shares offered under this Prospectus are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of WHL, and from the date of their issue will rank equally with all then existing WHL Shares and will have the same rights and liabilities attaching to them.

The rights and liabilities attaching to WHL Shares are governed by the Constitution of WHL, the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules, ASX Settlement Operating Rules and the general law of Australia.

Under Section 140(1) of the Corporations Act, the Constitution of WHL has effect as a contract between WHL and each member and between a member of WHL and each other member. Accordingly, if you subscribe for New Shares under the Equity Offer, you will have agreed to accept the WHL Shares which you have subscribed for and are issued, and as a result, will become liable to comply with the Constitution.

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to WHL Shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of WHL Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Further details of the rights and liabilities attaching to WHL Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

(a) General meetings

WHL Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

WHL Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:

  • (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (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

77

3191-15/1629449_1

  • (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 each Share held, 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 any preference WHL Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the WHL Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the WHL Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

If and to the extent authorised by resolution of the Company in general meeting, the Directors may establish a plan under which WHL Shareholders may elect to reinvest cash dividends paid by the Company by subscribing for Shares.

(d) Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the WHL Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose determine how the division is to be carried out as between the WHL Shareholders or different classes of WHL Shareholders, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, 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.

(e) Shareholder liability

As the Shares issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(f) 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 and the ASX

78

3191-15/1629449_1

Listing Rules.

(g) Future increase in capital

The 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 ASX 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.

(h) Variation of rights

Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of WHL 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 by special resolution of the Company and either the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

(i) Alteration of constitution

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of WHL Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

83

3191-15/1629449_1

  • (i) certification by a recognised and accredited Australian testing facility, (such as TUV Rheinland Australia) for the wireless communication module installed in Quantify’s retrofittable wall switch and power outlet known as the "Wireless Card", which wireless module is capable of providing wireless communication based on the 802.11 wireless standard or the 802.15 Zigbee Standard, where such certification is to AS/NZS4268 Standards, and

  • (c) ( Takeover Provisions ) If the conversion of WHL Performance Shares would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act, then the conversion of each WHL Performance Share that would cause the contravention shall be deferred until such time or times thereafter that the conversion would not result in a contravention of section 606(1).

  • (e) ( After conversion ) The Shares issued on conversion of the WHL Performance Shares will, as and from 5.00 pm (WST) on the date of allotment, rank equally with and confer rights identical with all other Shares then on issue and application will be made by the Company to ASX for official quotation of the Shares issued upon conversion.

  • (b) ( Cancellation ) The Company will take such steps as are necessary to cancel any Shares that are still the subject of escrow 6 years after the Quotation Date.

Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company will continue to be 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 shares

Price sensitive information will be publicly released through ASX before it is disclosed to shareholders and market participants.

11.18 Modifications of the Corporations Act

WHL has not obtained any modifications of, or exemptions from, the Corporations Act in connection with the Offers. WHL has however relied on instruments issued by ASIC which provide modifications and exemptions that apply generally to all persons (including WHL).

Waiver from Escrow Provisions

The Shares, WHL Bid Options and Performance Shares issued under the Takeover Offers to accepting Quantify Securityholders will be issued in consideration for the acquisition of a classified asset.

3191-15/1629449_1

restriction agreements under which they will be restricted from trading the Shares, WHL Bid Options and Performance Shares issued to them as consideration for periods of between 12 and 24 months.

If granted in respect of the majority of Quantify Ordinary Shares, the waiver of the escrow provisions may not apply to the extent that Quantify has issued securities to related parties, in consideration for services provided to Quantify or for the acquisition of assets from vendors.
