The review Panel, Catherine Brenner, Rodd Levy (sitting President) and Andrew Sisson made a declaration of unacceptable circumstances in relation to the affairs of Bowen. The review Panel considered that there were material deficiencies in the technical expert's report (and so expert's report) regarding some of the values found, some of the logic involved and compliance with ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 and the VALMIN Code. The review Panel is making further enquiries whether Bhushan and Savni are associates. The review Panel agreed with the initial Panel on other aspects of the application.

The Panel, John Fast (sitting President), John Keeves and Mike Roche declined to conduct proceedings on an application by NewSat in relation to its affairs. The application alleged that an announcement of a scrip off-market takeover bid by EWC for 100% of NewSat was misleading and a sham. Following a supplementary announcement by EWC to deal with the misleading claim, the Panel considered it was premature to conclude that the EWC takeover bid would not proceed as announced or that the bid is a sham. The claims by NewSat, other than in respect of the misleading announcement, should be dealt with at the time of the bidder's statement, if then appropriate. Consequently there was no reasonable prospect at this stage that it would declare unacceptable circumstances and make orders.
