DECEMBER 2006 QUARTERLY REPORT FOR ENTITIES ADMITTED ON THE BASIS OF COMMITMENTS

Attached is the Montec International Limited ("Montec" or the "Company") December 2006 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 comprises balance sheet related expenditure including finished goods inventory and prepayments, expenditure on legal matters, general administration and compliance.

A placement by the Company of ordinary shares to sophisticated investors was made in November 2006 to provide immediate funding needs for the Company's China business. The details of this placement were announced to the market at the time.
