Letter from the Managing Director One of the greatest benefits of my position is the ability to see tomorrow’s technologies today and meet the CEOs who are looking to improve and contribute to our quality of life for this generation, as well as the ones to follow.

strong financial results to many Australians. Investors have had losses, but the wins have frequently delivered significantly more value. Best of all, investors in this space realise that this is part of the process. Over time, I believe Australia’s other leading sectors will get the same opportunity to flourish as the mining sector has. The more money made in each sector, opens the door for more re-investment which over time allows the innovation and potential for individual sectors to grow organically. As the markets evolve, so too will the potential capital available to the sector. Wholesale Investor is committed to opening the potential for Australia’s industry leaders, high net worths and CEOs to continue the building of their sector of passion.

One of the biggest criticisms for the space in which we operate is the lack of Venture Capital funding. For a while now it has been our argument that there is not a lack of funding, but often a lack of education and strategy about the Capital Raising process.

Regards, Steve Torso – Managing Director, Wholesale Investor Magazine

In the last 6 months my attention has been consistently drawn to the mining sector. The mining sector is one which can provide a great example for the potential of Venture Capital in other sectors. Over the last few months I have observed that good opportunities are well funded, brokers will seek to specialise in mining stocks, service providers hold quality events for companies to showcase their offerings, CEO’s are well versed in the commitment and time required to raise the desired capital. Most importantly, there is a healthy pool of management talent looking for their next opportunity. The simple reason for this is that Australia’s mining sector has delivered

QBiotics closes $10m capital raising in 26 days QBiotics Limited, a QLD based life-sciences company, has successfully raised $10m through an Offer Information Statement. The offer opened on the 27th May and closed over-subscribed on the 21st June 2010. QBiotics first listed with Wholesale Investor in May of 2010. The CEO of QBiotics, Dr Victoria Gordon was very pleased with the result, as well as the support and promotion provided by Wholesale Investor. “We were delighted with the progression of the raise and extremely impressed with the high level of professionalism, support and exposure that Wholesale Investor brought to the project” said Dr Gordon. “The funds will be used to fast-track development of our anti-cancer drug EBC-46 into Human Trials.” “Using Wholesale Investor significantly boosted our exposure directly to investors who are serious about investing,” Dr Gordon added. “We received over 200 enquiries directly from their website. Of all the promotion we did, the most successful was via Wholesale Investor due to both the nature of their targeted investor database and the timeliness of investor response. Any business seeking capital would be wise to consider Wholesale Investor as part of their capital raising strategy.”

proven to successfully reduce or destroy solid tumours in over 150 dogs, cats and horses in Phase II type studies, and is in late stage preclinical development for the human market. Should EBC-46 prove to successfully work in humans, the value of the drug would be substantial due to its potentially broad market application and the added benefit of having no significant negative side effects (as demonstrated in animals studies). Funds have come from private individuals, high net worth and professional investors. The success of the capital raising means QBiotics now has sufficient funds to complete Phase I and potentially part of Clinical Phase II Human Trials without the need for a further capital raising. Although human life-science investments have the potential for high returns, these investments are traditionally risky. However, QBiotics has the “safety net” of a veterinary drug nearing revenue where the global market is estimated at over $900m per annum. QBiotics CEO Dr Victoria Gordon says “moving forward into Human Clinical trials is an important milestone in the progress of the company. EBC-46 has shown real-world “proof of concept” in animal trials and we are excited that we now have the funds to take EBC-46 into human development” For more information, please visit www.qbiotics.com

Part of the remit of Atlantic Healthcare’s European IBD Faculty will be to help the Company to progress alicaforsen, a breakthrough for the treatment of pouchitis and explore its use in the treatment of other IBD conditions. Alicaforsen is an anti-inflammatory, intercellular adhesion molecule (“ICAM-1”) inhibitor that acts by switching off a key protein that causes inflammation in the gastro-intestinal tract. Professor Derek Jewell, Chairman of Atlantic’s European IBD Faculty commented: “Alicaforsen has the potential to become a real breakthrough for the treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases where there still remains a major unmet need. I have patients currently suffering with recurrent pouchitis, for which there are no approved products and there are few alternatives to major surgery. I look forward to helping Atlantic Healthcare respond to the needs of these patients through a Named Patient Supply programme and wider international availability following further clinical development.” Atlantic Healthcare’s first drug, alicaforsen, is about to go into production ahead of launch.

Company Updates KFSU FINALIST IN THE ATS MEMBER OF THE YEAR AWARDS Three KFSU board members will travel to Brisbane for the 2010 Australian Technology Showcase Business Development Summit. KFSU is a finalist in the ATS Member of the Year awards this year after winning the Rising Star award last year (for best new company most likely to succeed).

MyGuestList launch iPad application and record profitable Proof of Concept

Immediately after, Gen Masaki will travel to Japan to finalise the health bar project that has been developed in Australia by KFSU for MIKI Pharmacy - the sales arm of Medical Pharmacy Corporation in Japan.

MyGuestList, Australia’s first, automated guestlist management and hospitality CRM solution is entering a new phase with the launch of its iPad Application and by recording a Profitable Proof of Concept.

This bar was developed utilising Fibacel™ as the main fibre ingredient and will be co-branded with the Kfibre™ logo for sale through Miki pharmacies sales outlets which include pharmacies and a large chain of convenience stores.

iPad App Rollout: The MyGuestList iPad App is currently being trialled giving venues a dynamic tool to manage guestlists, review late changes and view attendance patterns in real time. By being first-tomarket, and by leveraging the versatility of the iPad, MyGuestList has made a strategic move to capture the attention of venues by providing tangible marketing, promotions, security and forecasting benefits.

A pleasant side bar to the development of these three health bar products is that the Fontelle Group who helped develop the bar and who will be the Australian manufacturer have developed an interest in utilising Fibacel™. Fontelle manufacture 30% of health bars in Australia and New Zealand for a large range of international and local companies.

Profitable Proof of Concept: The number of new accounts has increased to over 60 in Melbourne alone. The company is also in late stage negotiations with larger hospitality groups each with numerous venues. MyGuestList has experienced month-on-month revenue growth since inception in 2009 and is forecast to be profitable for FY09/10. The company is currently completing a capital raising, available on Wholesale Investor, to effectively scale the business interstate to capitalise on these developments.

Gratuk to short cut time to market for a range of new animal pharmaceuticals

MRS assemble team of International Forensic Auditors MRS is a quality assured ISO 9001 company focused on providing project resources to various companies throughout the world. As a company we are highly experienced in areas such as Quality Assurance, Document/Data Management, Environmental Services, Training, Recruitment, Laboratory System Set Up and Auditing, enabling us to tailor unique services to suit to any business need.

It is common for a new drug to be 10 years in development and cost many $100 millions. However, the Gratuk team have worked with the technology for the past 10 years and now know precisely what they have to do. They are taking products the body makes naturally, and that they have developed before, and producing them in commercial quantities.

MRS have recently assembled a team of International Forensic Auditors with national and international expertise across varied forensic disciplines including criminal laboratory processes and reporting, quality management and auditing, scientific skills development, disaster victim identification and criminal database implementation and management. To aid this implementation we have secured large long term contracts with the American University Libya and Qatar University. Further information can be obtained by contacting Paul Morffew.

What this means is that the Gratuk team is already 7 - 8 years along in the 10 year cycle for these drugs. The funding sought for the projects is for final stage production, fast tracking returns to investors, and giving Gratuk a “first to market” competitive edge over other companies. Direct competitors will still need to develop the base technology to be able to make competitive products. Meanwhile Gratuk will be further along in the next release.

In Search of the

Standard Venture Capital Terms By Geoff Waring, Founder, School of Private Equity, Strategy and Entrepreneurship

Can we simplify the investment terms in venture capital? Can we do for investment transactions what the Model T Ford, the container and pallet did for transport? While working on a course for entrepreneurs seeking venture capital, it struck me the process was more complex than it should be. Say you have started a business which has fabulous growth potential, but it cannot be self-financed. Normally an interested venture capital investor emails the entrepreneur a terms sheet which summarises the proposed terms of an agreement between them. How can we make this complex contracting process cheaper and fairer for both sides? The answer is to define and use industry standard terms as a starting point. Any variations from this should be justified, rather than the venture capital firm’s initial offer being the starting point. The National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) in the US has published a standard terms sheet in the resources section of their website (nvca.org). However the NVCA is investor-oriented and uses US laws. I would like The Australian Venture Capital Association (AVCAL) to do something similar. Below is a list of reasonable terms all first round venture capital agreements should have which align interests and allocate the risks to the parties that can best manage them. Negotiations should then be mostly on valuation and the amount invested. 1. Founders have ordinary shares, investors have either ordinary shares or convertible preference shares with non-cumulative dividends. 2. 1x liquidation preference, with preference shareholders not participating in the balance left over. 3. Payments in staged tranches tied to milestones. 4. Redemption rights to investors after 5 years at original investment plus accrued but unpaid dividends. 5. Broad-based weighted average anti-dilution, with exemptions for any share issues whose purpose is not to raise new finance. 6. Pro-rata pre-emptive rights to investors to buy new share issues.

11. Consent of a majority of preferred shareholders required for critical transactions such as issuing debt or equity or, buying or selling high value assets or closing or selling the company. 12. I nformation rights to quarterly financial accounts for preference shareholders. 13. Percentage of equity set aside for employee incentives to be explicitly recorded as coming from founders’ or investors’ shares or both. 14. Minimal salaries for founders and no outside employment. 15. Confidentiality and 30 days exclusivity. 16. A capitalisation table summarising ownership shares before and after financing. Angel investment clubs would use the same standard terms to these. Terms sheets for individual angels should only have ordinary shares and items 9 to 16 above. With smaller investments, individual angels rely more on active involvement and relationships than costly contractual terms. I would like IP Australia to create an online terms sheet generator. IP Australia has done this for confidentiality agreements and supplier contracts. These have personally saved me thousands in legal fees. A prominent Silicon Valley law firm (Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati) did it for the US. The benefits are reduced transaction costs and fairer contracts between entrepreneurs and investors. Standardisation and simplicity stops better informed parties from conceding on transparent terms, only to be tougher on less-transparent terms.

7. Company has right of first refusal on sales of founders’ shares. 8. 25% of founders’ shares vest immediately, then 25% annually up to three years. Full vesting before three years if the company is sold. 9. Voting rights for preference shares are on a 1:1 as-converted to ordinary shares basis. 10. Founders and investors have an equal number of board seats (1 or 2 each) with a mutually agreed independent director holding the remaining seat.

Superannuation - a massive reserve for

investing in young businesses By Andrew Ireland, Principal, and James Millea, Senior Associate, Argyle Lawyers

Young businesses looking for equity investment should consider how their value proposition can be made attractive to superannuation funds. Superannuation funds currently manage investments worth trillions of dollars, with hundreds of million of dollars of cash being added to the various funds annually. If you ignore the retail and industry super funds and just focus on the self managed super funds, which form the largest segment of the superannuation market, then your focus is on 407,000 funds which manage over $300 billion worth of assets of which an estimated $100 billion is in cash. Start up businesses, new technology businesses and IP heavy businesses should be interested in superannuation fund money as, on a needs benefit basis, the SMSF market can be symbiotic to and very complimentary of the capital growth and cashflow realities of select young companies. Superannuants don’t need to access

Superannuation funds enjoy tax rates of only 15% on revenue and 10% on capital gains before a member retires and no tax on revenue or capital gains after retirement. Can you think of a more tax effective investment vehicle? Of course not all young companies will be attractive to superannuation funds, but those that may be should be aware of what a superannuation fund looks for and needs to satisfy itself with when assessing an investment. Foremost a superannuation fund must comply with stringent duties and obligations when making an investment decision to ensure that assets are properly invested for retirement purposes and member benefits are protected. A super fund must have an investment strategy and make investments on an arms-length basis. The strategy must reflect the purpose and circumstances of the fund and take account of, among other things, the risks involved in making the investments and their likely returns and the liquidity of the investments and the ability of the fund to meet liabilities. The investment rules are the most important prudential requirements under the superannuation legislation and are designed to ensure investment risk is appropriate for retirement provisioning and if not then the ultimate sanction may involve loss of the preferred status of a superannuation fund.

“focus on 407,000 SMSFs which manage over $300 billion worth of assets of which an estimated $100 billion is in cash...” To maximise the investor pool that a young business could hope to access, regard need to be had to the investment requireme of superannuation funds generally, which may result in the business management needing to more thoroughly prepare and present the value proposition of the business and satisfy some essential requirements concerning superannuation compliance. Of course the converse is also true, namely a young business will be unable to access a potentially significant pool of investor funds if it is unaware of the requirements which it needs to satisfy. .. Ignorance may be bliss, but it won’t help you build your business nor access $100 billion in cash waiting for investment. their superannuation assets and value until their retirement and therefore the trade off of immediate return for medium to longer term capital growth and reward is more likely to be enticing and therefore seriously considered. The significance of superannuation fund money as an investment source has increased markedly over the last few years as changes to legislation and decisions of the Australian courts have helped establish superannuation funds as the preferred investment vehicle. Due to statutory investment protection and taxation incentives more and more funds are being funneled into superannuation. The significance of their preferential standing was further increased when legislative changes were made in 2007 allowing super funds to borrow money to make an investment, something which previously had limited their general investment utility.

An investment that aims to

do more than just make money By Chris Cuffe, Director, Third Link Investment Managers

THERE ARE VERY FEW INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT AIM TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY AS WELL AS MAKE MONEY – THIS IS ONE OF THEM. In an Australian first, investors now have the opportunity to invest in a professionally managed investment fund, the Third Link Growth Fund, with all fees received, net of expenses incurred, donated to a non-profit organisation working on solutions to some of the most pressing challenges facing our community. The Third Link Growth Fund operates as a fund of funds structure, primarily investing in selected professionally managed investment funds. It is a diversified, growth-oriented investment, requiring a minimum investment of $20,000, suitable for investors with a minimum five year time horizon. As the Portfolio Manager of the Fund, I manage both the asset allocation and individual investment decisions, drawing on the generosity of former colleagues and contacts from the funds management industry. Over the course of my career I’ve had the privilege of meeting some of the most talented people in the industry and I’m now drawing on this pool of expertise to help me in my quest to provide ongoing funding for the important work being done in Australia’s social or “third” sector. A volunteer panel drawn from senior levels of the Australian investment industry provides input in relation to the investment environment, strategy and specific investments held. This is in addition to the leading investment and service professionals involved with both managing the money and operating the Fund, all who have agreed to waive some or all of the fees that would otherwise be due to them for services rendered. There are no entry or exit fees payable by investors in the Third Link Growth Fund and no commissions are paid to financial intermediaries. An ongoing management fee of 1.4 per cent per annum of the gross asset value of the Fund, from which normal operating expenses are met, is charged. Table1.a (right) shows the Fund’s performance after fees, relative to the Morningstar Multi-sector Growth Market Index, as at the end of April 2010. Launching the Fund just as the Global Financial Crisis hit was unfortunate timing and has impacted performance – albeit that the Fund has handsomely outperformed its benchmark over different time periods. However I believe the outlook for the Fund to be positive in the mid term, particularly given its current bias to the Australian share market – despite the recent market correction.

Social Ventures Australia invests in social change to improve the lives of the disadvantaged

contribution to the non-profit sector will equate to more than one per cent per annum of the Fund’s value. Already its donating around $40,000 each month and I’m hoping to triple this over the next year. Currently donations are directed to Social Ventures Australia (SVA), the brainchild of former Macquarie private equity executive Michael Traill, a non-profit organisation that helps increase the impact and build the sustainability of high potential ventures in the social sector. If our funds under management target is achieved, it will mean that an investor who invests $50,000 in the Third Link Growth Fund will effectively be contributing at least $500 per annum to the important work of SVA – all while still enjoying the commercial investment returns that the fund offers. In summary, this is an investment opportunity that aims to make a contribution to society as well as make money – surely an opportunity worth considering?

About Chris Cuffe

During a recovery phase people are always worried about whether the recovery will last – hence the saying the ‘the market climbs a wall of worry.’ On this occasion, Europe and the US do have much greater debt burdens than has been the case in the last 50 years – so for them this wall is that much higher. However from an Australian point of view, Asian countries are now much more important (our top four trading partners are Asian and even more importantly this is where 70% of our exports now go) so it may be that the fragility of the US and Europe is less of a concern.

Chris Cuffe is a stalwart of the funds management industry, with over 25 years experience. During his time as CEO of Colonial First State, and later Challenger Financial Services Group, Chris gained a reputation for being able to anticipate investment trends and corral top investment talent to take market leading positions. In addition to managing Third Link Growth Fund, Chris is a director of a number of financial services organisations including UniSuper and Centric Wealth.

Q&A with a Venture Capitalist

Morgan Trusscolt Capital With Tim Stanford, Director, Morgan Trusscolt Capital

Q1 How is your business different from other Venture Capitalists? MTC invests funding and intellectual capital in marketing led growth programmes. In essence we underwrite the risks of accelerated top line growth. We don’t take equity in businesses or invest in working capital. We are paid mainly on the basis of growth that we achieve and are both fully accountable and aligned to a client. We took the best of Venture Capital, Business Advisory and Marketing Services and created a unique model to help businesses grow their top line and their profitability. We are not a passive investor either. Far from it! As our income is dependent upon our ability to work with a client to grow the top line we get involved with all aspects sales and marketing.

Q7 What are the top 5 things you look for when seeking to invest into a company? Good management, passion for growth, a willingness to change, differentiation in products or service and a strong grip on cash flow.

Q8 What do you look at as an indicator for an ideal time to divest your share holding? We don’t take shareholding in a business but we do lock in a partnership Growth Contract for 3 years as realistically this is what it takes to make a return on our investment in marketing and change management we do.

Q2 How do you assess a business’s growth potential? We start off with just a chat over coffee and get to know each other. Given we are so active within a business, personal chemistry is really important before we embark on a journey together. If both parties are satisfied there is potential in the relationship we sign an NDA and commence a detailed Scoping Study which is a statistical study of demand drivers. It allows us all in a very transparent way to assess where sales are going to come from. Our statistician has managed hundreds of these so it’s a very realistic set of numbers that are then anchored into a business’s capabilities to service demand. Once we have a model it is a very transparent process to identify incremental growth, investment needs and how the growth will be funded. Often these grounded models are useful to share with other investors.

Q3 As a Venture Capital firm, what kind of companies do you look for? Generally, emerging business with excellent management, a unique product or service focused in the B2C area. We also work with a few large multinationals that want to work with an aligned partner focused on growth with skin in the game. Not all of our clients need funding. Nor do they need advisors. What they do need is an aligned partner that can help them work on the implementation of a sales and marketing plan.

Q9 What are you optimistic about? Q4 Do you have a specific niche or industry which interests you? We work exclusively in the B2C area. Beyond this we work in Pharmaceutical, on line retailer, grocery FMCG, insurance, home products and plenty of other areas. Many of the challenges are the same but different environments and players. We are increasingly finding more of our clients are looking for an online presence which helps them harvest sales at a very low cost. Conversion funnels are crucial as consumers have very little patience for slow or clunky websites.

Q5 What impact did the turbulent public markets of the past 2 years have on your business? Our sources of funds have broadened in a market that is less liquid. We have some interesting sources of funds that a traditional Venture Capital company would not have access too. We also do a lot more “what if” modeling now to really stress test some of the macro assumptions. We also have less tolerance for accepting mediocre talent within clients and drive a faster agenda as being nimble is a pre-requisite these days. We find our clients like a turbo charge once they accept they need it.

Q6 What tips do you have for investors seeking to invest into private companies? Make sure you understand the business, the sector and the management capabilities. Investors should probe as necessary but don’t dither, make a decision to invest or not.

Change! Tough times encourage small businesses to pop up and large businesses to change. This demands people look at things differently and presents great opportunities for those that recognize them.

Q10 Where do you see the opportunities over the next few years? Businesses that recognize how they “add value” and this is reflected throughout their business model. I think the best definition of a brand I ever came across was “a promise made and a promise kept”. Most businesses are poor on the delivery but often it is this authenticity that makes a difference and allows good businesses to become great.

A strong management team –

the recipe for investor success! By Andrew Blunden, Managing Director and Founder, Part Time Professionals

In Wholesale Investor’s quarterly surveys the strength of the Management Team is consistently identified as the most important ‘deal attribute’ for investors. This is not surprising; Companies may survive with mediocre management when things are going well and challenges are few, but introduce some ‘curved balls’ and these same companies struggle and fail if they have an inferior team making key decisions. As an investor, I look for companies whose management teams can cope with a variety of challenges. After all, I will be relying on these people to steer the company in the right direction – no matter what the local or global economy throws at it. As Jim Collins wrote in his book Good to Great, if you first have the right executives “on your bus” you will more easily adapt to a changing world. No-one doubts that the world is constantly changing. But what defines a strong management team? Is it their academic qualifications, their experience, their professional networks, their diversity, their independence or their knowledge of the industry?

be as much a portend of failure as having no CFO at all. Not only must the CFO manage the financial reporting process, they must also engage successfully with both internal (staff, other executives) and external stakeholders (bankers, investors, regulators etc). The value of a CFO to an organisation during start-up and highgrowth mode is enormous. Yet often it is these companies who defer appointing such an individual to their management team. Why? Here are some excuses that I have encountered: • Cost – they are too expensive for a start-up! •H istory – we have used the same book-keeper for years and do not want to ‘rock the boat’ by appointing a new CFO. •P riorities – accounting is a cost centre and we only want to focus our resources on sales, marketing and operational management. This is patently false economy, and undermines the fundamental strength of the management team. My response to the arguments above are: •C ost - There are other alternatives to hiring a full-time CFO. The Australian company, Part Time Professionals, for example, was formed to provide qualified and experienced CFOs to companies at a fraction of the full-time cost. Within four years the company has grown to represent over 280 such part-time and contract CFO’s throughout Australia. And a significant majority of the CFOs it represents have ASX listing, trade-sale and fast growth company experience. Why not appoint a CFO on a part-time or contract basis in the start-up and fast-growth phase?

In fact, all these attributes are important. The management team requires strength in sales, marketing, operations, human resources and especially in financial management. They need to have demonstrated experience achieving the type of milestones they are now promising to deliver – or at a minimum they need to have the capability to readily and affordably access this expertise. If the company’s strategy is to list on the ASX, the management should have experience in a listed company environment. If the company is considering a trade sale, have any of the management sold a business before? With research and development companies that promise to commercialise their discoveries, have the management team any prior experience taking an idea through to successful commercialisation? Of course, managers can learn on the job – but not with my investment dollars! A successful management team, by definition, must also work collaboratively together. Be wary of the ‘genius with a thousand helpers’ model that consists of a leader who sets a vision and then enlists a crew of highly capable ‘helpers’ to make the vision happen. As Collins writes, this model fails when the genius departs. The best companies are led by what he describes as a Level 5 leader - someone who is a paradoxical mix of personal humility and professional determination. They are ambitious, to be sure, but are ambitious first and foremost for the company, not themselves. They also recognise that they need to surround themselves with the right people, and trust them to do the job. Next to the leader must stand a suitably qualified finance professional. This person must be a fiscal disciplinarian, a gatekeeper, a strategist, a good communicator and a diplomat. Every successful company has strong fiscal management, and includes a qualified, experienced and respected accountant on the executive management team. For an investor, a malleable and pliable Chief Financial Officer (CFO) can

12

• History – The appointment of a CFO does not have to result in the departure of the existing accounting staff. A part-time or contract CFO, for example, is an economical option that affordably allows a company to both retain and beef-up its existing in-house resources. In fact, the appointment of an experienced CFO to mentor, train and supervise the incumbent accounting team can really boost morale during a period of rapid change and highgrowth. •P riorities – Fiscal management and financial reporting reliability is essential if a company is to attract and retain external stakeholders. Along with sales, marketing and operations in-house financial management should be a major priority, not merely a cost centre. The strength of the management team is critically important to potential investors. Having a Level 5 leader, an experienced and qualified finance professional, and suitably experienced and qualified operational executives “on the bus”, with proven success achieving the company’s promised milestones, is a recipe for investor success. Andrew Blunden FCA is Managing Director and founder of Part Time Professionals. Part Time Professionals is an Australian-based organisation that, since 2006, has introduced companies to experienced in-house management and executives. The company now represents over 280 qualified CFOs, accountants, marketing, legal and other executives through the company’s CFO Network. Each of these experienced executives is looking for part-time and contract roles with growing and successful Australian companies. With a focus on affordability, flexibility, quality and integrity, Part Time Professionals have now helped almost 100 organisations enhance and strengthen their management teams. www.ptprofessionals.com.au
