MARCH 2007 OUARTERLY REPORT FOR ENTITIES ADMITTED ON THE BASIS OF COMMITMENTS

Attached is the Montec International Limited ("Montec" or the "Company") March 2007 quarterly report for entities admitted on the basis of commitments.

Cash receipts from customers pertain to royalties received from Dairy Farmers in relation to licensing arrangements in New South Wales. Cash is not received by Montec for sales made to Montec's counterparty (MTR) in China. Rather, a corresponding increase in the level of prepaid funds held by the counterparty (MTR) for Montec's benefit is reflected on the Company's balance sheet. These prepaid funds are applied in the operations of Montec's China business. As Montec's China business has an ongoing requirement for operational funds during its establishment phase, the decision was taken by the Company's board to manage in part the China business funding requirements in this way. Further, the approach avoids unnecessary transaction and foreign exchange costs in receiving sales receipts and then subsequently resending operational funds to China.

The Company is in the process of establishing a wholly owned foreign entity in China. Once incorporated, this entity will conduct Montec's business in China. The consolidation of this wholly owned entity will then allow the recognition of cash receipts from the China business in the Company's consolidated financial accounts including cash flow statement.

Other working capital outflow comprises balance sheet related items including prepayments, and expenditure on legal matters, general administration and compliance.

A placement and renounceable rights issue has been successful undertaken by the company raising combined proceeds before costs of approximately \$3.563 million. This combined raising was the subject of an earlier announcement, with this additional capital positioning the Company well for progressing its expansion in China.
