Dear Sirs

OFFER TO PURCHASE SHARES

1.2
The Company has forecast net profit for the 12 months ending 30 March 2011, from which a notional valuation has been calculated (see Appendix 4). The Company will be allocated Convertible Preferred Shares of RTG Ventures Inc (“RTGV”), a US public company with offices at 185 Madison Avenue, New York, NY10016, which will be held by RTGV's transfer agent. The Company will be revalued, applying the same formula as the notional valuation using the Company's results as at March 31, 2011 (the "Final Valuation"). The average share price of RTGV for the month of March 2011 is also calculated (the "Conversion Price"). This Conversion Price is then divided into the Final Valuation to obtain the number of Common shares to be issues to the shareholders of the Company, subject to the limitations in Appendix 4. RTGV's transfer agent will transfer the Common shares to the Company's shareholders on a pro rata basis according to the schedule in Appendix 5.
