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 />
