The principal purpose of the Offer is to provide a benefit to Shareholders who have retained their Shares since
requotation of the Company on ASX through to the Record Date by enabling them to acquire Options to
subscribe for additional Shares in the Company at an exercise price of 30 cents each and an expiry date of 31
December 2009.
Any Entitlements not taken up under the Offer will be dealt with in accordance with the Underwriting Deed.
The Company will raise $163,850 from the Offer (before costs of the Offer), assuming no conversion of any
convertible securities currently on issue. These funds will be applied initially towards the costs of the Offer
(approximately $20,000), with any balance to be applied towards working capital.
If no funds are raised as a result of this Offer, the Company has sufficient working capital to meet its obligations
as set out in the September 2006 Prospectus.
In the calculation of any Entitlement, fractions will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
3.2 Acting on your Entitlement
The number of Options to which you are entitled is calculated as at the Record Date and is shown on the

your acceptance will be deemed to be for your maximum Entitlement and any surplus application monies will be
returned.
This Offer is non-renounceable and accordingly, Shareholders may not sell or transfer their Entitlements.
Your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form together with the application monies must be received no
later than 5pm WST on the Closing Date, subject to the right of the Company to extend the Offer Period (in
accordance with the Corporations Act and Listing Rules).

and in any event, no later than 14 days after the Closing Date.
3.3 Minimum subscription and over-subscriptions
There is no minimum subscription and over-subscriptions will not be accepted.

If ASX does not grant permission for Official Quotation of the Options within three (3) months after the date of
this Prospectus, or such longer period as may be allowed by ASIC, none of the Options offered by this
Prospectus will be allotted or issued and the Company will repay all application monies received (without
interest).
The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation of the Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of
the merits of the Company or the Options now offered for subscription.
3.5 Closing Date of the Offer
The Closing Date for receipt of acceptances is 5pm WST on 5 January 2007. The Directors reserve the right, in
their absolute discretion, to extend the Closing Date, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules which requires

takes place.
If no issue of Options is made, all application monies paid will be refunded, without interest, as soon as
practicable.

5.7 Rights Attaching to Shares upon Conversion of Options
The rights attaching to Shares in the Company are:
(a) set out in the constitution of the Company, a copy of which is available for inspection at the registered
office of the Company during normal business hours; and
(b) in certain circumstances, regulated by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, the SCH Business Rules
and the general law.
There is only one class of shares on issue in the Company being fully paid ordinary shares.
The following is a summary of the principal rights of the holders of Shares in the Company.
Voting Rights
Subject to any special rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares in the
Company (at present there are none), at a general meeting every shareholder present in person or by proxy,
attorney or representative will have on a show of hands one vote and, on a poll, one vote for each Share held.
General Meetings
Each shareholder is entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and
to receive all notices, financial reports and other documents required to be furnished to shareholders under the
Constitution or the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
Dividend Rights
Subject to the rights of holders of any Shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividends (at
present there are none), any dividend as declared shall be payable on all Shares in proportion to the amount of
capital for the time being paid up or credited as paid up in respect of such Shares.
16
Rights on Winding-up
Subject to the rights of holders of Shares with special rights in a winding-up (at present there are none), on a
winding-up of the Company all monies and property that are to be legally distributed among holders of Shares
will be distributed in proportion to the amounts paid up (or which at the commencement of the winding-up ought
to have been paid up) on those Shares compared with the total paid-up capital of the Company.
Transfer of Shares
Subject to the Constitution, the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and any other applicable laws of
Australia, and subject to any restrictions applicable to Shares which have been designated by the ASX as
“restricted securities”, Shares are freely transferable.
Shareholder Liability
As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Board
and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
ASX Listing Rules
Despite anything in the constitution of the Company, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must
not be done. Nothing in the constitution prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done. If
the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be
done (as the case may be). If the Listing Rules require the constitution to contain a provision or not to contain a
provision the constitution is deemed to contain that provision or not to contain that provision (as the case may
be). If a provision of the constitution is or becomes inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the constitution is
deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.
