Board Meetings and Committees<br />
The Company held no formal meetings of its board of directors (the “Board”) during the last 12 months. All proceedings of the Board<br />
were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such<br />
resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada<br />
Revised Statutes and the by-laws of the Company, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and<br />
held. We do not presently have a policy regarding director attendance at meetings.<br />
At present, the Company’s independent directors are Dr. Dean and Mr. Rosenberg. Our third director, Wayne Hughes, is not<br />
independent. Our determination of independence of directors is made by using the definition of “independent director” contained under Rule<br />
5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. In determining whether or not these individuals constituted “independent directors” under such<br />
definition, the Board considered the terms of Dr. Dean’s appointment letter to the Board, which provide that Dr. Dean is to receive AU$46,000<br />
($40,848) in annual consulting fees in addition to an annual AU$30,000 ($26,640) in director fees, and the terms of Mr. Rosenberg’s<br />
appointment letter to the Board, which provide that Mr. Rosenberg is to receive AU$46,000 ($40,848) in annual consulting fees in addition to an<br />
annual AU$20,000 ($13,320) in director fees.<br />
Since the Share Exchange, the Company has held no formal meetings of its Board and has acted solely by resolutions consented to in<br />
writing and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board. We do not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees, or<br />
committees performing similar functions. As we have been a shell corporation, our former Board believed that it was not necessary to have<br />
standing audit, nominating or compensation committees because the functions of such committees were adequately performed by the Board. Our<br />
full Board performs the services of audit, nominating and compensation committee. The directors, excluding Mr. Hughes, who perform the<br />
functions of auditing, nominating and compensation committees are independent by the standards of such independence for such roles under<br />
Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. However, at such time in the future that we appoint additional independent directors to the<br />
board; we expect to form the standing board committees comprised solely of independent directors.<br />
Family Relationships<br />
There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.<br />
