A meeting of creditors must be convened within 11 days of my appointment. The meeting for the
Company will be held at The Law Society of SA, Level 10, 178 North Terrace, Adelaide, SA on Friday,

Accordingly, I attach for the Company:
a statutory notice convening the meeting (Form 529);
a Summary of Affairs (Form 509) provided by the Director;
a list of creditors;
information for attending and voting at a meeting of creditors;
a Proof of Debt form (Form 535), along with an information sheet to assist you to complete the
form; and
a Proxy form (Form 532) and instructions.
Attendance and voting requirements
Creditors who intend to vote at the meeting are requested to lodge a proof of debt with us prior to the
meeting. Creditors who are unable to attend the meeting and wish to be represented, should ensure that
either a proxy form, power of attorney or evidence of appointment of a company representative pursuant to
section 250D of the Corporations Act 2001 (“the Act”) is validly completed and provided to us prior to the
meeting. If a faxed copy of a proxy or power of attorney is provided to us prior to the meeting, the
original of the instrument must be received within 72 hours of receipt of the faxed copy. Alternatively,
proxy forms can be emailed to Home_Aust_Proxy@mcgrathnicol.com. Proxy forms lodged via email must
be validly executed by signing and scanning the completed form.
Corporate creditors who wish to attend the meeting should note that they may only be represented by an
individual if that person is validly granted a proxy or power of attorney by that corporation, or appointed as
a company representative pursuant to section 250D of the Act.
Proof of debt and proxy forms may be provided to us prior to the meeting or brought to the meeting.
Proof of debt forms can be emailed to Home_Aust_POD@mcgrathnicol.com.

Quorum
Pursuant to Regulation 5.6.16 a meeting must not act for any purpose except:
– the election of a chairperson; and
– the proving of debts; and
– the adjournment of the meeting:
unless a quorum is present.
A quorum is deemed to be present if at least 2 (two) creditors are present at the meeting in person, by

A meeting is sufficiently constituted if only one person is present in person if the person represents
personally or by proxy or otherwise a number of persons sufficient to constitute a quorum.
Chairperson
Pursuant to Section 497(8) of the Corporations Act 2001, the creditors may appoint one of their number or the director who attends the meeting as Chairperson of the meeting.
Voting
Pursuant to Regulation 5.6.23 creditors will not be eligible to vote at the meeting unless they have lodged
particulars of their debt or claim prior to or at the meeting.
Accordingly, creditors who intend to vote at the meeting should ensure that they lodge a formal proof of
debt with the company prior to or at the meeting.
Pursuant to Regulation 5.6.19 all resolutions put to the meeting will be decided on the voices unless a poll
is demanded, before or on the declaration of the result of the voices.

– a resolution will be carried if a majority in number and a majority in value vote in favour of the
resolution; and
– a resolution will be lost if a majority in number and a majority in value vote against the proposed
resolution.
In the event of a deadlock, the chairperson may exercise a casting vote. In such situations, the minutes of the meeting must specify the chairperson’s reasons for exercising, or not exercising, their casting vote.
Proxies

company prior to the meeting, however, the original of the instrument must be received by the company
within 72 hours of receipt of the faxed copy.
Pursuant to Regulations 5.6.28, 5.6.29 and 5.6.31 creditors may lodge a proxy form with the company prior
to the meeting by electronic means, however electronic lodgement will only be possible where the
convenor has specified an electronic address or other electronic means on the proxy form. Proxy forms
lodged via electronic means must be validly executed by signing and scanning the form.
Pursuant to Regulation 5.6.32 a person may, should they so desire, appoint the Chairperson by name or by
reference to his or her office to act as his, her or its general or special proxy.
Pursuant to Regulation 5.6.33 special proxies, but not general proxies, can be used to vote in favour of any
resolution that would directly or indirectly place the holder of the proxy (or any partner or employee of
that person) in a position to receive any remuneration out of the assets of the company, except as an
ordinary unsecured creditor.
Corporate Creditors
Corporate creditors who wish to attend the meeting should note that they may only be represented by an individual if that person is validly granted a proxy or power of attorney by that corporation.

Schedule of Remuneration Methods and Hourly Rates
Introduction 1
This information is to assist you with understanding how remuneration is calculated and paid in an
insolvency administration.
Basis of remuneration 2
Remuneration methods 2.1
There are four basic methods that can be used to calculate the remuneration charged by an insolvency
practitioner. They are:
Time based/hourly rates
This is the most common method. The total fee charged is based on the hourly rate charged for each
person who carried out the work, multiplied by the number of hours spent by each person on each of the
tasks performed.
Fixed Fee
The total fee charged is normally quoted at the commencement of the liquidation and is the total cost for
the liquidation. Sometimes a practitioner will finalise a liquidation for a fixed fee.
Percentage
The total fee charged is based on a percentage of a particular variable, such as the gross proceeds of asset
realisations.
Contingency
The practitioners’ fee is structured to be contingent on a particular outcome being achieved.
Method Proposed 2.2
We propose that our remuneration will be calculated on a time basis which will be recorded and charged in
six minute increments. Details of the hourly rates for different levels of staff are included below. The
complexity and demands of the liquidation will determine the staff to be utilised for this appointment.
This method is considered to be most suitable for this appointment as it ensures creditors are only charged
for work that is performed in the liquidation, which can be difficult to accurately estimate at the date of
appointment.
Creditors will be advised of the proposed basis of remuneration in our initial remuneration advice to them.
Explanation of Hourly Rates 3
The rates for our remuneration calculation are set out in the following table, together with a general guide
showing the qualifications and experience of staff engaged in the liquidation and the role they take in the
liquidation. The hourly rates charged encompass the total cost of providing professional services and

Home Australia Pty Ltd (In Liquidation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries as detailed in Schedule A
(collectively “Home Australia”)
The Corporations Act 2001 and professional standards require the Practitioners appointed to an insolvent entity to
make a declaration as to:
their independence generally; A.
relationships, including B.
the circumstances of the appointment; (i)
any relationships with the company and others within the previous 24 months; (ii)
any prior professional services for the company within the previous 24 months; (iii)
that there are no other relationships to declare; and (iv)
any indemnities given or up-front payments made to the Practitioner. C.
This declaration is made in respect of ourselves, our partners and the firm McGrathNicol, which for the purpose of
this declaration includes the McGrathNicol Partnership, the McGrathNicol Advisory Partnership, and McGrathNicol
Services Pty Limited.
Independence A.
We, Matthew Caddy and Barry Kogan of the firm McGrathNicol (“the Liquidators”) have undertaken a proper
assessment of the risks to our independence prior to accepting the appointment as liquidators of Home Australia in
accordance with the law and applicable professional standards. This assessment identified no real or potential risks
to our independence. We are not aware of any reasons that would prevent us from accepting this appointment.
Declaration of Relationships B.
Circumstances of appointment (i)
On 25 August 2016, Matthew Caddy and David Barnaby of McGrathNicol met with the sole director of Home
Australia entities (Robert Day) and the former interim CFO/COO with the intention of discussing the financial
position of Home Australia. This meeting was adjourned following a brief introduction as its purpose was
superseded by an immediate financing option to be further explored by the director.
On 9 September 2016, the meeting between Matthew Caddy, the director and the former interim CFO/COO was
reconvened to discuss the financial position of Home Australia.
From 11 October 2016 until the date of appointment, Matthew Caddy had a number of phone calls with the
director for the purposes of:
obtaining sufficient information about Home Australia to understand its current financial position;
clarifying and explaining to Home Australia and the director the various options available to the companies
and the nature and consequences of insolvency appointments; and
Matthew Caddy and Barry Kogan of McGrathNicol providing consents to act.
No remuneration was received for participating in these discussions and meetings.
We believe that these meetings do not result in a conflict of interest or duty because:
the Courts and ARITA’s Code of Professional Practice specifically recognise the need for practitioners to
provide advice on the insolvency process and the options available and do not consider such advice results
in a conflict or is an impediment to accepting the appointment;
the nature of the limited scope advice provide to the Home Australia is such that it would not be subject to
review and challenge during the course of the liquidations; and
the pre-appointment advice will not influence our ability to be able to fully comply with the statutory and
fiduciary obligations associated with the liquidations of Home Australia in an objective and impartial
manner.
Declaration of Independence,
Relevant Relationships and Indemnities
2
We have provided no other information or advice to Home Australia or Mr Day prior to our appointments beyond
that outlined in this DIRRI.
Relevant Relationships (excluding professional services to the Insolvent) (ii)
We, or a member of our firm, have or have had within the preceding 24 months, a relationship with:
Name Nature of relationship Reasons
National Australia Bank Limited (“nab”)
nab holds a charge on the whole or substantially the whole of the property of Home Australia. McGrathNicol undertakes corporate recovery and advisory work from time to time on instructions from nab.
We believe this relationship does not result in a conflict of interest or duty because each professional engagement undertaken for nab in relation to a particular entity or group of entities is conducted on an entirely separate basis which has no connection with these appointments. These engagements are only commenced after full regard is given to potential conflicts of interest in relation to all interested stakeholders. No work has been undertaken for nab in relation to any of the Home Australia companies. Given the above, our independence in acting as Liquidators of Home Australia has not been compromised.
Prior professional services to the Insolvent (iii)
Neither we, nor our firm, have provided any professional services to Home Australia in the previous 24 months.
No other relevant relationships to disclose (iv)
There are no other known relevant relationships, including personal, business and professional relationships, from
the previous 24 months with Home Australia, an associate of Home Australia, a former insolvency practitioner
appointed to Home Australia or any person or entity that currently has security over the whole or substantially the
whole of Home Australia’s property and should be disclosed.
Indemnities and Up-front Payments C.
We have not been indemnified in relation to the Home Australia liquidations, other than any indemnities that we
may be entitled to under statute and we have not received any up-front payments in respect of our remuneration
or disbursements.
Appointments to Members of a Corporate Group D.
As listed on Schedule A of this Declaration, the Liquidators have been appointed as liquidators to eight entities
within the Home Australia group of companies.
We are of the view that the appointment to the group of companies will have significant benefits to the conduct of
the Liquidations, particularly in that this will provide for cost-savings and enable an accurate as possible view to be
obtained of the activities and financial position of the companies as a whole. We are aware that there were inter-
company transactions within the group. At the time of our appointment, we were not aware of any conflicts of
interest between the group companies. Should such a conflict arise, we will keep creditors informed and take
appropriate action to resolve the conflict.

Notes to the DIRRI:
1 If the circumstances change or new information is identified, we are required under the Corporations Act 2001 and the
ARITA Code of Professional Practice to update this Declaration and provide a copy to the creditors/committee of
creditors with our next communication, as well as table a copy of any replacement Declaration at the next meeting of the
insolvent’s creditors/committee of creditors.
2 Any relationships, indemnities or up-front payments disclosed in the DIRRI must not be such that the Practitioner is no
longer independent. The purpose of components B and C of the DIRRI is to disclose relationships that, while they do
not result in the Practitioner having a conflict of interest or duty, ensure that creditors are aware of those relationships
and understand why the Practitioner nevertheless remains independent.
Please note that the presentation of the above information is in accordance with the standard format suggested by ARITA.
