About Cartucho Group Limited

Cartucho is the holding company for a growing applied technology business
specialising in the design, sale and support of a system which refills printer
ink cartridges. With over 1.3 billion inkjet printer cartridges forecast* to be
sold this year, the Directors recognise the opportunities that exist for a
system capable of refilling spent cartridges. The Group designs and produces its
ink refill kiosk (the "kiosk"), which is capable of refilling a significant
majority of popular inkjet printer cartridges on the market. The Group's
principal objective is to enter into revenue sharing agreements with major
retail chains which sell cartridges, with the kiosk providing an in-store
cartridge refilling solution. The Directors believe that the growing number of
smaller walk-in shops specialising in cartridge refilling have taken some market
share away from the larger office supplies retailers and that the kiosk offers a
means of partially reversing this trend. In September 2005, the Group signed an
agreement to supply the kiosk to OfficeMax, which, with nearly 1000 stores, is
the third largest office supplies retail chain in the United States.
