Company Announcements Office Australian Stock Exchange Limited 20 Bridge Street Sydney, NSW, 2000

Dear Sirs,

Appendix 4C – Quarter Ended 30 June 2014

The quarterly cash flow statement for the quarter ended 30 June 2014 is attached.

The Company’s audited financial results and report for the 6 months ended 30 June 2014 will be released by 31 August 2014.

The accompanying cash flow statement is based on preliminary management accounting data pending completion of audited accounts at 30 June 2014. Any variation between the cash flow statement in this Appendix 4C and the ultimate audited cash flow statement will be accounted for in the Company’s half year report. In the meantime a short commentary on the preliminary cash flow report is provided.

The industry in which Magontec Limited operates is characterised by lengthy credit sales terms unmatched by similar terms on purchases. As at the end of the period under review the Company’s working capital levels were substantially higher than in previous periods.

After isolating the increase in working capital assets, the underlying operation in the first half of 2014, was cash positive. Furthermore, to assist the Company to better manage its working capital requirements in China and elsewhere around the World we are in the process of finalising a significant global facility with a European bank.

The main cause of the rise in working capital stems from the Company’s Chinese operations where domestic demand and sales into the export markets have been below previous periods. This has resulted in a rise in inventories at the Company’s primary alloying facility in Shanxi Province. The impact of the slowdown in domestic Chinese demand on inventories has also been felt in sluggish trade debtor collections.

While some of these effects are cyclical in nature others appear more entrenched and not easily addressed prior to our move to Qinghai. However it seems likely that the raw material inventory buildup has occurred at a time of low pricing with pure magnesium purchases in the first half of 2014 dropping below ¥15,000 for much of the period.

The attached cash flow statement shows that in the six months to 30 June 2014 net cash used in operating activities was $4,258,267. A breakdown of the Company’s working capital demand in the relevant 6-month period is provided in the table below.

It should be noted that the increased demand in working capital is greater than the net cash used in operating activities indicating that, but for cash tied up in working capital assets, the underlying operation is cash positive.

Yours Sincerely
