            1.      Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current level of net operating
                    cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not?

            Answer: As announced to the ASX on 24 March 2020, due to the impacts of COVID-19, the
                    Company has implemented significant cost savings and asset preservation
                    initiatives across its business and anticipates lower total relevant outgoings for the
                    upcoming Quarter.

            2.      Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further
                    cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it
                    believe that they will be successful?

            Answer: As demonstrated over recent years, the Company has been successful in funding
                    its operations through a combination of equity and debt instruments, primarily with
                    the support of its major shareholders. Consistent with this approach, the Directors
                    consider that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able
                    to fund its ongoing operations using similar funding alternatives.

            3.      Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business
                    objectives and, if so, on what basis?

            Answer: On the basis of previously having been successful in undertaking funding initiatives
                    as set out in Item 8.8(2) and the implementation of significant cost saving initiatives
                    as set out in Item 8.8(1), the Company expects to continue its scaled down
                    operations and meet its business objectives as set out in its March 2020 Quarterly
                    Activities Report.
