Well Kakoii, the part I found of most interest to me was the 'Investigating Account's Report' starting on page 36.
In short, there was considered support for the prospectus. However it feel short of an audited response. I post sections below for highlights...
Our review has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standard ASRE 2400 Review of Financial Report Performed by an Assurance Practitioner Who is Not the Auditor of the Entity. We have performed review procedures, which in our professional judgement are considered reasonable in the circumstances, including: (a) analytical review of the Historical Financial Information; (b) review of work papers, accounting records and other documents pertaining to balances in existence at 31 December 2009; (c) review of the Pro-Forma Adjustments and assumptions used to compile the Pro- Forma Statement of Financial Position; (d) review of the consistency in application of the recognition and measurement principles in Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by Biosignal and RGM Group; and (e) enquiry and discussions with Directors, management and personnel of Biosignal and RGM Group. - 39 - These procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, thus the level of assurance provided is less than that given in an audit. We have not performed an audit, and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the Pro- Forma Financial Information. Our review was limited primarily to an examination of the Historical Financial Information, the Pro-Forma Financial Information, analytical review procedures and discussions with both management and Directors. A review of this nature provides less assurance than an audit, and accordingly, this Report does not express an audit opinion on the Pro- Forma Financial Information included in this Report or elsewhere in the Prospectus. 6.5. Conclusion Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that: (a) the Pro-forma Adjustments do not provide a reasonable basis for the preparation of the Pro-Forma Financial Information; (b) the following items do not present fairly in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements, but not all of the disclosure requirements of applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia: (i) the Historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Biosignal as at 31 December 2009; (ii) the Historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of RGM Group as at 31 December 2009; (iii) the Pro-Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Biosignal as at 31 December 2009, as if the Pro-Forma Adjustments as set out in Section 7 had occurred; and (iv) notes to and forming part of the financial information referred to above.
It goes on to say...

I would say that we need a qualified appraisal from registered 'Financial Advisors', before making any firm opinion, simply because the appraisal here is not prepared on an auditted basis. However, to me the move is a positive step (from where we were) and I will probably just watch with long term interest when it starts trading again.
