30 August 2007

Dear Shareholder,

RECAPITALISATION AND REFINANCING RECOMMENDATION &
EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

Recapitalisation and Refinancing Proposal
I have previously informed you that the Board received indicative proposals relating to
recapitalisation, re-financing and ownership alternatives and that 3 parties were conducting due
diligence. Two of these parties, excluding Merim Pty Ltd, have provided the Board with indicative,
non-binding proposals. As at the date of this letter, these proposals are incomplete and confidential
however, following a Board Meeting scheduled for 30 August 2007 to further consider the two
proposals, the Board expects to be in a position to announce a recommended proposal to
shareholders by approximately 10 September 2007 and in any event well prior to the date of the
EGM referred to below.

To ensure that you are able to make a fully informed decision at the EGM further information in
relation to a final recommended proposal will be provided to shareholders at various informal
meetings to be held prior to the EGM. Details of dates and times of those meetings will be provided
shortly. I encourage all shareholders to attend an information session.

Extraordinary General Meeting
As you are also aware from my previous correspondence, the Company has received a requisition
notice from shareholders, representing more than 5% of the votes in the Company, requesting the
Board call a general meeting to consider the removal of the following directors: Mr. Chris Riordan,
Mr. John Schmoll, Mr. Eldo Di Pasquale and Mr. Lindsay Fullerton and to appoint Mr. Murray Pike,
Mr. Lee Henzell and Mr. Robert Stovold as replacement directors.

As a result an Extraordinary General Meeting is to be held at 1.00pm on Monday 24 September
2007 at the Nambour Civic Centre. Attached is a notice of meeting and an explanatory
memorandum detailing the business to be dealt with at the meeting. Please read this material
carefully.

The Golden Circle Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote against all of the
proposed resolutions. Do not vote for the removal of the current directors and do not vote to
appoint any of the new directors. I wish to inform shareholders that I wholly support the existing
directors. If shareholders vote to remove Mr Riordan, Mr Schmoll, Mr Di Pasquale and Mr Fullerton
from the Board I will forthwith tender my resignation as Chairman, director and acting CEO
effective immediately following the close of the meeting.

If you choose to attend the meeting, please bring the attached attendance and admission cards to
facilitate registration into the meeting.

If you do not plan to attend the meeting, you are encouraged to appoint a person to attend and vote
on your behalf as your proxy by completing and returning the enclosed proxy form. Note you may
appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy. Proxy forms must be received at the registered
office of the Company by 5.00pm on Wednesday 19 September 2007 to be valid for the meeting.

Yours faithfully,

Ern Pope
Chairman

NOTES

1. Explanatory Memorandum

Before deciding how to vote, please carefully read the full text of the Explanatory Memorandum
which forms part of this Notice of Meeting.

The purpose of the Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with an explanation of the
business of the EGM and of the Resolutions to be proposed and considered at the EGM and to allow
Shareholders to determine how they wish to vote on those Resolutions.

If you are in any doubt about the action which you should take in relation to voting on the proposed
Resolutions, you should consult your financial or other professional adviser immediately.

2. Registration

The EGM will commence at 1.00pm AEST. All persons entitled to vote will be required to register.
You will have received an attendance record card and a voting card with your annual report. Bring
these to the meeting to register your attendance and record your voting at the meeting. Registration
will take place from 12.00 noon to 12.45pm. To ensure a prompt start to the meeting, members are
requested to register early.

3. Voting

Please note that voting will proceed in accordance with the Constitution and only persons named in
the Register of members will be entitled to vote.

When joint holders are named in the Register of Members only one joint holder may vote. If more
than one of the joint holders is present at the EGM either personally or by attorney or proxy, the
person whose name stands first in the Company's Register of Members shall alone be entitled to
vote.

4. Proxies

Appointment

• A member entitled to attend and vote at the EGM is entitled to appoint a proxy.
• A proxy need not be a member of the Company. The person appointed as the member's

proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.
• Members who are entitled to cast two or more votes are entitled to appoint up to two proxies.

If a member appoints two proxies, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specified
portion or number of the member’s votes. If a member appoints two proxies and the
appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes each proxy
may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the member’s votes. Fractions of votes will be
disregarded.

Voting

• If a member appoints one proxy, that proxy may, subject to the Corporations Act, vote on a
show of hands. If a member appoints two proxies, either proxy (but not both) may vote on a
show of hands.

• A proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion, except where the proxy is required by
law or the Constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in their capacity as proxy. If a proxy is
directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote on that item only in
accordance with that direction. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business,
the proxy may vote as he or she thinks fit.

• If the abstention box on the Proxy Form for the item of business is marked, the proxy will be
directed not to vote on a show of hands or on a poll and the relevant shares will not be
counted in calculating the required majority on a poll. If no box is marked, the proxy will not
be directed as to how to vote and may vote as he or she sees fit.

4

• The Chairman of the EGM intends to vote all undirected proxies from members (who are
eligible to vote on the resolutions) against the resolutions to be voted on at the EGM. Any
Director or the Secretary appointed under a proxy will vote undirected proxies against the
resolutions to be voted at the EGM.

• No proxy holder may control more than 49% of the voting power of the Company. Voting
power is ascertained by aggregating:
o the voting power attaching to shares registered in the name of a person to which that
person is entitled, and in which that person has a beneficial interest; and
o the voting power conferred by proxy and attorney, but shall not include proxies which
direct the manner in which votes shall be cast. Directed votes shall not be counted in
ascertaining whether the number of votes to be cast by a person exceeds 49% of the
issued share capital of the Company.

Signing

• To be effective, the Proxy Form must be signed by the member or the member’s attorney.
• In the case of joint holders, the names of all holders must be recorded and all joint holders

must sign the Proxy Form.
• If the member is a corporation, the Proxy Form should be executed in accordance with

section 127 of the Corporations Act. If the member is a corporation and the Proxy Form is
not signed by two directors or a director and the company secretary, or is not clearly marked
as signed by the sole director / sole company secretary, please indicate the basis upon
which the form is signed (i.e. as authorised officer or attorney) and attach the relevant
authority (or a certified copy of such authority) to the Form. If the capacity in which a person
signs the Proxy Form for a corporate member is not clear, the Company reserves the right to
reject the proxy appointment.
• If you wish to appoint a body corporate as your proxy, the full name of that body corporate
must be set out. Do not use abbreviations. The body corporate will need to ensure that it:

(a) appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at meetings,
in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act; and

(b) provides a completed ‘Appointment of Corporate Representative’ form prior to
commencement of the EGM. This form is available from the Company by contacting the
Company Secretary on 07 3266 0118.

If such evidence is not received before the EGM, then the body corporate (through its
representative) will not be permitted to act as your proxy.

Lodgement

• The Proxy Form and any power of attorney or authority under which it is signed (or a certified
copy of such authority) must be received at the registered office of the Company by 5.00pm
AEST on Wednesday 19th September 2007. Proxy Forms can be lodged:

(a) by post at:

PO Box 106, Virginia QLD 4014

(b) in person or by post at:

260 Earnshaw Road, Northgate QLD 4013

(c) by facsimile on: (07) 3266 0718

Corporate Representative

• If a corporate representative is to attend the EGM on behalf of a corporate member or proxy,
a formal ‘Appointment of Corporate Representative’ form must be brought to the EGM. This
form is available from the Company by contacting the Company Secretary on 07 3266 0118.

Please refer to other notes appearing on the enclosed Proxy Form.

5. Recording Devices
In the absence of special permission, the Chairman will require that any recording or broadcasting
device (including tape recorders, still cameras and video cameras), and any article which may be
dangerous, offensive or liable to cause disruption, be deposited outside the EGM.

6. Required voting majorities
The Resolutions are proposed as ordinary resolutions. The passage of these Resolutions requires
the approval of a simple majority of votes cast by Shareholders present and voting at the EGM,
whether in person, by proxy or attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a natural
person representative.

How to Complete the Proxy Form

1 APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

If the individual or body corporate you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting, please write the name
and address of that individual or body corporate in the space. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting,
the Chairman of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a share holder of Golden Circle Ltd.

2 VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS

You may direct your proxy how to vote all your shares, or abstain from voting all your shares, on an item of business by placing a mark in the
appropriate box opposite the item. Alternatively, you may direct your proxy to vote a number or percentage of your shares in a particular way,
and the remaining number or percentage in another way. This can be done by inserting the number or percentage in the appropriate box or
boxes next to the item. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than
one box on an item, or the number or percentage of shares specified in the FOR, AGAINST and ABSTAIN boxes for an item exceeds your total
shareholding, your vote on that item will be invalid.

Note, the Chairman of the EGM intends to vote all undirected proxies from members eligible to vote on the resolutions to be considered at the
EGM against the resolutions.

3 APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY

A member who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint up to two persons (including bodies corporate) as proxies to attend the
meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Golden Circle’s
Company Secretary on (07) 3266 0118 or you may copy this form. To appoint a second proxy you must: a) on each of the first Proxy Form and
the second Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not
specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be
disregarded; and b) return both forms together to the Company at the same time.

4 SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS

You must sign this form in the spaces provided. The signing will depend on the way the shares are held:
• Individual: Where the share holding is in one name, the member must sign.
• Joint Holding: Where the share holding is in more than one name, all of the members must sign.
• Companies: Where the share holding is in the name of a company and the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole
Company Secretary, that person must sign this form. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth))
does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly
with either another Director or a Company Secretary in accordance with section 127 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Please
indicate the office held next to the relevant signature. If a representative of a corporate share holder or a corporate proxy is to attend
the Meeting, the appropriate “Corporate Representative Form” should be produced prior to admission. This form may be obtained by
contacting Golden Circle’s Company Secretary on (07) 3266 0118.
