BOARD REPORT - 2015 AGM

Your current board members consist of Robert Gould (Company Secretary/Timeshare Marketing);

Alan Gorman (Director of Finance/Administration); John Pym (Grounds and Maintenance), and it is with

regret that our Chairman Peter Allwood tendered his resignation on 6th October, 2015 due to age catching

up and failing health.

Peter has been a long serving board member of our Company since 1990 when he became a shareholder

some 25 years ago - his vast experience, stability and the management support he provided, has benefited all

shareholders and we wish him all the best in his retirement from the Seashells Board.

The existing board members will be standing for re-election at this year’s AGM along with any other

shareholders wishing to nominate for a position of director. Such nominations must be received by

14th November, 2015 along with a current CV - there will be four positions to be filled and

nomination/acceptance forms can be obtained from the resort.

We have issued this report without our audited financial accounts due to the ill health of Rhonda Futterleib

of Essential Assurance Services Pty. Ltd. who promises to have them completed by mid November and

available to shareholders prior to the AGM.

Many thanks to Alan Gorman who as director of Finance and Administration has taken on the role as Acting

Resort Manager including training our new reception staff of Nikki, Sheena and Rachel, who replaced

Rebecca Crump (Admin. Supervisor) and others. Alan will be reducing his time spent in administration

(except for supervision), and is confident that our existing staff, and our Financial Controller on more

flexible hours, will be more than capable of continuing the smooth running of the resort.

Alan also was responsible for supervision of ground staff and upgrading of units in “Aquarius” and

“Beachcomber” with a beachside theme including painting, replacing carpets, fittings and furniture, wall

paintings and linen has been completed along with landscaping and pool repair.

An area of concern with the financials is the Profit & Loss which normally runs at a loss, but the cash flow

is positive once adjusted against depreciation allowance. This has occurred for many years as the Board is

continually replacing and upgrading our resort facilities.

Our 2014/15 financial figures will include part of last year’s water bill of $65,000 due to a massive leak

between the water main and our property and this year’s water bill of $29,000 - or a total of $94,000 of

which $77,000 has been paid, and will affect our Profit & Loss as a “one-off’ payment. On a positive note,

we currently have $88,000 in our sinking fund account.

The board is mindful of keeping our maintenance fees low, and we are the best value timeshare resort in

Australia with 1 bedroom units currently at $450pw or $300pw if placed in the rental pool – this financial

year we deleted the $40 Special Levy which did in some small measure affect our cash flow.

The majority of our outstanding maintenance fees are secured by the timeshare assets which are returning an

income from the rental pools, and our bad debt situation is slowly improving with the sale of forfeited weeks

by David Black (our on-site Timeshare Consultant).

As approved by the shareholders at our 2013 AGM, the rezoning of our land to

SP3 Tourism is proceeding with the following Consultant Reports being completed:

(1) Ecology (2) Visual Assessment (3) Archaeology.

Once the rezoning has been approved by the Department of Planning, Stage 2 will commence which will

require the proponents of the rezoning to arrange for the proposed conversion of Company Title of “G” and

“H” Class shares and 10 private units to a Strata Title Scheme which will include:

a. Review and amendment of Constitution of Seashells Ltd. to delete the share classes being converted to

Torrens Title (the current timeshare owners and benefits will not change).

b. Creation of a Community Title Scheme and preparation of a Community Management Statement.

c. Creation of Strata Scheme and preparation of:

1. By Laws

2. Transfer of lots in the Community Scheme from the Company to various parties who are to be the lot

owners.

d. The surveyor (Lidbury Summers Whiteman) propose to create a Community Title concept plan over the whole

site and strata title the units.

e. It may be necessary under part 5c of the Corporations Act that a new PDS will need to be registered with

ASIC.

All our shareholders will benefit from the rezoning with a large cash injection into the Company from the conversion

of different share classes to Torrens Title, and which will benefit existing timeshare owners, and as each step in the

rezoning is completed, the shareholders will have full details of the Consultant Reports.

We anticipate the Special General Meeting and shareholder voting on the final proposal will occur prior to

June, 2016, and the board urges all shareholders to take an active interest in attending the Annual General

Meeting.

The board appreciates and would like to thank Gilbert (Financial Controller) and our hardworking staff for

the implementation of many daily tasks required of them to make Seashells Beachfront Resort a family

friendly and fun location.

For and on behalf of the Board

Robert Gould

Company Secretary

TIMESHARE LEVIES, Contributions to Costs & Other Moneys Payable:

Timeshare Levies are split into two parts;

o The Main Timeshare Levy (Part A) is designed to cover the costs of Grounds and Building Maintenance, Rates and Taxes, Corporate Governance, insurances and basic running costs.

This will be invoiced annually in advance in June and payable within 14 days of the date of the invoice, unless otherwise specified.

Shareholders with 8 or more timeshare weeks may pay quarterly in advance.

For on-time payments, a discount may be allowed via notification with invoices. Presently the discount allowed is $40 per timeshare.

Seashells may at its discretion permit an on-time payment discount, charge late fees and/or interest on unpaid accounts at a rate of up to 8% p.a. o The Supplementary Timeshare Levy (Part B), referred to as a ‘Usage Fee’ is only payable if and when an Owner makes arrangements to personally utilise each of their timeshare weeks or share with family and friends. This may be a reservation to stay at Seashells or an exchange with other timeshare companies. This Usage Fee is designed to help cover costs associated with stays and reservations including computers, IT and software, check-ins, cleaning, additional wear and tear, etc.

Currently the Usage Fee is $150 for 1-bedroom units and $165 for 2 bedroom units.

If Timeshare Levies are unpaid, the timeshare owner foregoes their right to use, exchange or rent their timeshare week/s and may not share in rental pools.

Seashells may take a lien over shares for moneys unpaid, thus preventing the sale of shares.

Recovery of levies is enforceable under NSW law. In accordance with the Constitution and provisions of NSW law, the Company may forfeit shares of a member for non-payment of timeshare levies, contributions to costs or other moneys payable. Share transfers will not be approved unless all outstanding moneys are first paid.

SEASHELLS LTD BY–LAWS & RULES OF TIMESHARE RENTAL POOLS

For shareholders that are unable to utilise their full allocation of timeshare weeks, management of Seashells Ltd (the Resort) is prepared to operate rental pools for tariff income received. The ‘Main Rental Pools’ consist of 20 distinctive rental pool periods during the year:

1-bed Flexi ASH1 & ASH 2 SSH1 & SSH2 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 E1 & E2 2-bed Flexi ASH1 & ASH 2 SSH1 & SSH2 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 E1 & E2

Shareholders wishing to enter the Rental Pools are required to fill in the appropriate Nomination Form and forward to the Resort before the commencement of each timeshare year (ie by 30th June).

The Resort will retain the first $60 / $80 of any tariff booking as a ‘usage fee’ and 20% of the remaining tariff as ‘Letting Commissions’. The balance of tariff income will go into the various Rental Pools for disbursement to shareholders eligible to be in the rental pool. The Board reserves the right to increase the Tariff Fee and Letting Commissions to meet associated operating costs.

The Resort will have the first option to utilise any timeshare week/s nominated for the Rental Pools by Shareholders. Subject to prior written consent of Management, Owners may use or privately let their timeshare weeks after nominating to go in the Rental Pools.

Shareholders will be excluded from any Rental Pool Entitlements if they are in arrears with the Resort at any time during the relevant financial year and especially leading up to the commencement of any rental pool categories (flexi or fixed weeks). The Board reserves the right to make concessions for applications received in advance and should extenuating circumstances arise.

Notes for 52 Week Owners Only:

Paying guests will be booked into units included in the ‘Main Rental Pools’ firstly where practical. For 52-Week Owners to be eligible to participate in the Main Rental Pools;

1) The standard of their unit for which they are entitled ‘exclusive use’ must meet the Resort’s ‘normal standard’ as determined by the Board appointed Standards Committee from time to time (presently equivalent to 3 ½ Star Rating), and

2) Pay the Full Timeshare Levies (Part A), that is, no discounts for electing to do own maintenance.

If 52-week units do not meet the Resorts normal standards, then an owner may be allowed to enter rental pools, however will only be entitled to 50% of any rental pool disbursements. The remaining 50% will be held by the Resort where the owners may apply for such moneys to be spent on their apartments on a $1 for $1 basis or otherwise as determined by the Board of Directors.

The Resort is prepared to setup a ‘Secondary Rental Pool’ for 52-week owners entitled to ‘exclusive use’ of a unit that have a unit of lesser than normal standard and/or elect to do own maintenance in return for a lesser Timeshare Levy (part A). Presently the allowance for doing own maintenance is $30 for a 1 bedroom unit and $50 for a 2 bedroom unit.

This Secondary Rental Pool will be a single rental pool for 1 bedroom units and another for 2 bedroom units only and include tariff income from Fixed and Flexi weeks in together and counted as the same for the purpose of disbursements.

This Secondary Rental Pool will receive the overflow of bookings from the Main Rental Pool and any special request of guests. A much lesser proportion of tariff income is to be expected.

If the standard of a 52-week owner’s unit for which they are entitled to ‘exclusive use’ does not meet the Resort’s ‘minimum standard’ as determined by the Board appointed Standards Committee from time to time (presently equivalent to 2 ½ Star Rating), Management reserves the right to not let-out these units, thus nullifying any entitlement to rental pools
