Information is communicated to Shareholders as follows:

1.2.         The Half-yearly Report contains summarised financial information and a review of the operations of the Company during the period.  Half-yearly reviewed Financial Statements prepared in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act are lodged with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission and the ASX.  The Financial Statements are sent to any Shareholder who requests them.

2.             ASX Announcements

2.1.         Regular reports are released through the ASX and the media.

3.             Annual General Meetings
