Letter from the Managing Director
Next Year looks like being a significant year in the evolution of Wholesale Investor as the leading distribution channel to investors for private, pre IPO, IPO and small cap listed entities.Here in Australasia, we are blessed with a strong spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship which means that at all levels, in all sectors, there are visionary business founders working on what they think is the next big idea.
And the evidence, both anecdotally and more empirically through our Wholesale Investor Sentiment Survey, shows that sophisticated investors are as willing as they have ever been to listen to the pitch from new companies.
Biotech and cleantech companies have continued to be the flavour of the year for 2011, and that is likely to continue into 2012. The passage of the Government’s carbon tax legislation and the agreement by APEC leaders to cut tariffs for cleantech exports will doubtlessly have a positive impact on that sector, while the momentum for health and biotech remains undiminished.
The mining boom remains a strong feature of Australia’s economic landscape, and at Wholesale Investor we have continued to bring a pipeline of exciting resource-based opportunities to our subscribers. All the evidence shows that the resources boom has some time yet to run, so we look forward to more mining opportunities in 2012.
Next year looks like being a significant year in the evolution of Wholesale Investor as the leading distribution channel to investors for growth companies and Small Cap Listed companies. We will continue to do more of what we do well: our events linking companies and investors, our partnerships with the likes of PwC and our print and online communication platforms.
Already, we have plans to significantly improve our digital offering and get closer to what the smart money is thinking through a new and better version of our investor survey, which we think will become a closely watched benchmark in the market.
We will further develop our channel partner program giving corporate advisory and finance, private equity and venture capital firms the opportunity to use our unique distribution platform for the benefit of their clients.
For now, its time to sign off on 2011 from me and the Wholesale Investor team, and thank all our stakeholders – investors and entrepreneurs alike – for engaging with us this year. We look forward to seeing more of you in 2012, and making the coming year a major success for us all.
Regards,
Steve Torso - Managing Director, Wholesale Investor

Medium-term profit outlooks are also much more bullish than sales
expectations with 80 per cent of the segment expecting growth at 11.6 per
cent. This is particularly pronounced in the ASX segment (90 per cent are
looking at profit growth) and weakest amongst private companies (68.8 per
cent).
The top three impediments to achieving growth targets are global economic
conditions, lack of consumer confidence and government leadership. Global
conditions are an especially high barrier for multinationals, whereas consumer
confidence issues lead for private businesses and the ASX segment.
Credit: This story appears in PwC’s Spring 2011 Radar publication, which focuses on the key trends and issues affecting ASX listed companies, inbound multinationals, and large private businesses. To download a copy of Radar please visit pwc.com.au/radar or download the Radar iPad App from the Apple Store. Search PwC Australia – Private Clients.
While the short-term outlook is conservative and coloured by uncertainty, the
medium-term outlook is considerably more optimistic. Most businesses are
cutting costs where they can, but some are seeking out opportunities and
reaping the rewards.
Businesses across Australia are telling us their three key competitive drivers
are margin compression, talent availability and pricing. To some extent, these
are not new concerns, but uncertainty around the global and Australian
economies, including the impact of the carbon tax, seems to be prompting
many businesses to adopt a ‘wait and see’ approach. The much-vaunted
two-speed economy does appear to be real, with marked differences in plans
around investment, expansion and hiring for the mining and resources sector –
for most of these companies, it’s full-steam ahead.
In the meantime, those that can are endeavouring to better manage their costs.
This is where the forecast profit growth across the board is likely to come
from for most businesses, rather than an increase in revenue. The challenge
for businesses is to ensure they are not cutting fat too close to the bone, and
they could find themselves in a less-than-ideal situation when the inevitable
upswing arrives.
Given, however, that the top three impediments to achieving growth targets are
cited as global economic conditions, lack of consumer confidence and lack of
clear leadership from government, and with most businesses predicting flat or
very low growth for the Australian economy over the next 12 months, perhaps
they are wise to “batten down the hatches” and get ready for what may indeed
be a bumpy ride – for at least the next 12 months.
Over the next three years, the outlook is much more buoyant, with not one
business surveyed forecasting negative profit growth. It appears they are
anticipating that the uncertainties around global economic conditions and the
carbon tax, seen almost universally as likely to impact negatively on business,
will be largely resolved, and we can all get back to the task at hand.
Profit growth has been much stronger than revenue with nearly 80 per cent of
enterprises reporting either static (26.9 per cent) or increased (51.8 per cent)
revenues in 2011 – a reflection of the increased focus on cost containment
and margin management. This was strongest amongst ASX-listed companies,
and weakest among large private companies, with nearly one third (31.3 per
cent) recording a drop compared to 12 months ago. Profit expectations are
considerably stronger than sales for 2012 – 72.5 per cent are expecting growth
at an average rate of 8.1 per cent; this is strongest amongst ASX companies
and multinational corporations in Australia; again, weakest among private
companies.

Executive Officer and the allocation of team members to each of the Marketing,
Operations and Finance positions. Every position is important for making the
decisions related to that role and for working cooperatively with the rest of the
team. The key to success is to encourage the students to work together as a
team! The companies sell in three markets; local (home market), national (other
areas in the home country) and international, (the export market).

Executive SummaryElemental Energy Technologies has been formed to commercialise its breakthrough third
generation marine turbine technology employing a robust and proven business model. In
conjunction with international manufacturers, distributors and partners the company is
building a sound platform for profitable growth as new global marine energy markets develop
and grow.
Elemental is in the process of optimizing the construction and trialling of its proprietary Sea
Urchin turbine system in 1, 2, and 10 megawatt configurations. Ocean currents, tides and
flowing rivers are an increasingly recognised major green energy source that will attract
billions of dollars of new infrastructure investment in the years to come. UK-based energy
industry consulting firm, Douglas Westwood, has projected that the size of the marine energy
market alone will be in the order of US$1 trillion.
Competitive AdvantagesThe SeaUrchin represents a major advancement over the first generation marine generator
technologies commonly in use today, offering:
• An efficient design that generates up to 4 times the power of competing systems
• 70% more efficient than “propeller”style marine generators
• Scalable – sub 2kW units, ideal for small scale markets.
• unit arrays are planned for very large scale ocean based developments
• Reliabity. Only one moving part with no gear box required.
• Efficient at low and high flow rates making it suitable for the widest range of locations
including ocean streams, ocean tides and flowing rivers around the world
• Self aligning design optimally aligns for continuous flows and changing tides
Key Investment HighlightsElemental’s technology is more efficient and powerful than competitors, and can be built at
lower cost. It is a highly scalable generation solution, from the micro level to large turbine
arrays. The Sea Urchin provides predictable base load power.
Elemental already has in place licenses with key partners in several potentially lucrative
market. The company has funds already committed for its expansion and has a defined exit
strategy, targeting either an IPO on a suitable exchange or a trade sale.

Current ProjectsProject 1: Little Takas nappies and Bamboo baby wipes – Australia
EcoQuest launched the Little Takas nappies and Bamboo baby wipes range
in Australia in October 2010. The products are now stocked in over 300 retail
stores across Australia, including Toys R Us, Baby Kingdom, Franklins, and a
growing number of IGA stores, promoted and sold through 4 leading nappy
e-tailers and on its own e-commerce website www.littletakas.com.
Project 2: Little Takas nappies and Bamboo baby wipes – UK and US
EcoQuest has launched the Little Takas nappies and Bamboo baby wipes range
in the UK, focusing initially on internet sales such as resell through the website
of the UK’s largest parenting charity for parents the National Childbirth Trust
(NCT) www.nct.org.uk. The company will approach US brokers in Q4 of 2011.
Project 3: Little Takas nappies and Bamboo baby wipes - Asia
From July 2011, Ecoquest entered the Asian market. The Little Takas range is
sold in three different Hong Kong supermarket chains including Three Sixty
(Hong Kong’s largest organic and natural food store), Marketplace (a high
end supermarket chain) and Wellcome (Hong Kong’s longest established
supermarket chain). The company plans to expand into other Asian countries.
Competitive Advantages• EcoQuest addresses a major growth market - as major contributors to landfill,
disposable nappies represent one of the world’s biggest environmental
problems, taking over 100 years to break down. The Little Takas nappies and
Bamboo baby wipes ease consumer consciences but fit into modern
lifestyles.
• EcoQuest has a highly experienced team, including global eco-nappy and
consumer sales experts
• EcoQuest has technology that is proven by both rigorous consumer testing
and meets stringent industry standards
• Ecoquest is already engaged in developing a second generation nappy which
will increase its use of sustainable materials whilst retaining its
biodegradeable credentials
• EcoQuest is listed on the ASX, and therefore provides both the potential for
excellent capital gain, and the flexibility of sale of shares through the ASX
Executive SummaryEcoQuest Limited, the clean technology company developing biodegradable
disposable personal care products from sustainable sources, has started
to realise its global market strategy with the Little Takas 90% biodegradable
nappies and 100% biodegradable bamboo wipes range on sale in a growing
number of retail and e-tail stores in the UK, Asia and Australia as well as through
its own website www.littletakas.com.
The company is in talks with major Australian retail chains and is conducting a
strong marketing and PR campaign across print, broadcast, online and social
media to increase awareness and drive sales.
The company wants up to 5% market share of the total Australian nappy market
and plans to grow the eco market and become the eco-nappy of choice for
Australians based on its superior sustainable content, higher total product
biodegradability, better performance, better margin to retailers and lower retail
price (in its segment).
The Australian eco nappy market is expected to grow by more than 25% per
annum. The company’s mission is to create a globally recognised brand of
biodegradable personal care products based on proven and tested principles of
sustainability.
The company will also continue developing and protecting its intellectual
property, while refining and growing its product range.

Executive SummaryBioPower Systems is focused on developing advanced technologies which convert the energy
in waves and tides to grid-ready electricity. Developed by a group of professional engineers
with a deep understanding of the challenges posed by harnessing ocean energy, the designs
address all the problems that have been experienced by other technologies. In achieving this,
ocean engineering principles have been augmented with survival and performance concepts
drawn from natural marine species such as kelp and sharks. This use of “biomimicry” leads to
wave and tidal system designs that are simpler, easier to install, and less expensive on a $/
MWh basis, than other ocean energy technologies.
Competitive AdvantagesBioPower’s primary technology, a wave energy system called bioWAVE™, is designed to sway
back and forth beneath powerful swell waves while capturing the energy and converting it into
electricity.
The key advantages of the bioWAVE technology are:
• High efficiency of energy capture, with in situ (onboard) conversion to high voltage
electricity, and direct low-loss transmission power to grid
• Ability to streamline by lying flat against the seabed during extreme conditions, enabling
extreme weather survival at low cost
• Simple low-cost installation, requiring only standard service vessels
• Detachable power conversion module, allowing for simple low-cost maintenance procedure
• Zero visual impact and minimal affect on the environment.
Key Investment Highlights• BioPower employs 6-10 specialised professionals
• Extensive network of partners/alliances
• Occupy office plus adjoining Test Centre in Sydney
• 100 percent owner of IP, including over 28 individual patents (granted and pending)
• Demonstration project in late stages of development:
250kW grid-connected bioWAVE™

this offering attractive to a wider range of investors.
