100% of the issued share capital in PH Queensland Gas Pty Ltd (PHQG),

Ryowa's ultimate parent company, Mayfair Australia Corporation Pty Ltd (Mayfair Corporation), is an Australian energy and resources company.  Ryowa seeks to enter the agriculture industry through the acquisition of Phosphate Hill. Ryowa currently owns a minority interest in the Gladstone Power Station.
