About Intec Ltd
Intec Ltd is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, the Deutsche Boerse in Germany and the OTCQX in the USA.
The Intec Process comprises a set of patented chloride-based hydrometallurgical processes that have been demonstrated to produce high purity base and precious metals from concentrates of sulphide and oxide ores, tailings and industrial wastes. The Intec Process has substantial environmental and cost advantages over both the widely used conventional smelting and refining processes and other known hydrometallurgical and inorganic waste treatment processes.
Intec has current deals and plans in place for the development of projects for the clean production of high grade products from secondary mineral resources, and for the recycling of metals from industrial wastes, both in Australia and China. In addition, there is significant potential for the international application of Intec’s intellectual property in a wide range of other international locations.
Intec Ltd 2009 Annual General Meeting Chairman’s Prepared Comments
Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening and welcome to the 2009 Intec Annual General Meeting. My name is Trevor Jones and I am Chairman of our Company, Intec Ltd. Introducing my fellow directors, this is Philip Wood, Managing Director & CEO, Kieran Rodgers, Finance Director and Chief Financial Officer, John Moyes, Technical Director, who has recently stepped down from his full time executive role to join James Bell as a Non-executive Director. Also up front is Robert Waring, Company Secretary.
There being a quorum of three or more shareholders present, I declare the Meeting open.
In addition, also present are representatives of the Company’s external auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Garth Winter and Nilesh Sharma.
I thank David Maloney, who is a partner of Allens Arthur Robinson, the Company’s legal advisors who have again graciously agreed to host Intec’s Annual General Meeting in these superb surroundings.
The 2008-2009 financial year, was an extremely difficult period for Intec. As described in the financial statements of the 2009 Annual Report, Intec incurred a loss after tax of $20.7 million, incorporating impairments of $11.6 million and an operating loss of $9.1 million.
The key cause of Intec’s negative financial outcomes was the accelerated downturn during 2008 in international metals prices, notably zinc and lead, resulting in Intec’s mineral-producing operation at Hellyer becoming cash-negative and being forced to close in September 2008.
With the perfect storm of the Hellyer closure and its being placed on care and maintenance, frozen debt and equity markets, and the unfortunate maturity date of Intec’s working capital facility falling due on 31-12-2008, we were then forced to sell the Hellyer operations in extremely difficult market conditions. The eventual sale to Bass Metals for $10 million - half of which is a deferred royalty payment – resulted in both a write-down of that asset value to the sale price, and in operating losses as the shut-down and maintenance expenses were paid in the months during and following the closure. The Company was also forced to sell its 23% interest in Bass Metals in order to maintain prudent cash balances.
The sale of the Hellyer operations impacted the company’s proposed strategy for the treatment of EAF dust stockpiles. The Board therefore took the prudent decision to write down the value of Intec’s environmental bonds for the storage of its feedstock stockpiles from $4.4 million to zero.
The Company continues to investigate all options for either disposal or treatment of these stockpiles.
During 2009 Intec’s cash flows were affected by a bad debt from Sardinia Gold, which was written off in our 2009 accounts and the placement of Compass Resources in administration. Thankfully the $140,000 owed by Compass has been recovered in full but the considerable delay in that payment did place pressure on our cash flow position.
Since balance date and as advised to the market, Intec’s primary waste client ACL has also entered administration and receivership and $240,000 it owes our Company is not expected to be recovered. However, Intec is proceeding with further work for ACL, but now on the basis that the receiver will be held responsible for all charges so the payment is assured.
1
Intec’s response to the serious challenges facing the company was twofold. We took the necessary steps of realising as much asset value as was possible under adverse conditions, and we took drastic and considerable measures to cut our expenditures to the maximum extent possible, even at the expense of some of our operational capabilities. It is notable that all of Intec’s staff, directors and key consultants took a voluntary 15% pay cut across the board from the beginning of 2009, and there were no changes made during the 2009 annual performance review.
Overall, Intec’s operating expenditure has now been reduced by more than 50% through improved efficiency, pay cuts, staff downsizing and reduced site expenditures.
However, we are now pleased that the signs now point to Intec having turned a corner, and we thank all of our shareholders, staff and industry stakeholders for their support throughout the very difficult period that has passed. Intec’s share price has stabilised, and we are looking to the future, and anticpate the recovery and growth of our company from here.
One of Intec’s key advantages is its adaptability. We have a very strong technology base which can be carried forward in a multitude of ways, and one of Intec’s strongest responses to the global financial crisis was to bring forward and implement a second, parallel strategy for the commercial utilisation of the Intec Process technology via the recycling of metal-bearing inorganic waste materials.
The key example of this adaptability is the implementation of a second business arm recycling heavy metals from industrial waste streams, using our existing infrastructure at Burnie. The hurdles for waste projects are very much lower than for minerals projects, the timelines are shorter, and while the rewards are commensurately lower, Intec’s multiple waste projects collectively offer the prospect of near term revenues sufficient to help the company transition to being self-sustaining.
This near term goal may be considered by some to be less ambitious, but it provides a solid basis from which to grow the company without continual recourse to shareholder capital.
The successful implementation in early 2009 of Intec’s technology for commercial waste recycling at Burnie represents a solid positive outcome for an otherwise difficult year. While the ACL administration has meant that the financial outcomes have been mixed, the intangible outcomes of the successful operation have been wholly-positive: a significant decrease in the perceived technology risk for the Intec Process, industry and government recognition, and a substantial increase in incoming enquiry for future waste recycling services.
Intec is now seeking and developing additional projects to build upon the success of the Burnie waste recycling operations. We are close to finalising the agreement for the paid implementation of a zero-waste zinc and acid recycling project for the Victorian galvanising industry – which will be directly replicable elsewhere in Australia and internationally. And we are already examining the wider range of waste recycling opportunities throughout Australia.
Moreover, we have this month announced two major initiatives for the development of both minerals and waste projects (thus Intec’s two parallel strategies) in collaboration with Chinese investment partners Guangdong GuangYe Assets Management Co., Ltd. and Green Resources (Asia Pacific) Holdings Limited. Philip Wood will discuss these initiatives in more detail, but it is worth noting that these initiatives offer the potential for long-term growth in shareholder value.
At the Board level, Intec was sorry to lose the services of Ken Severs as a Director during 2009, albeit to a very well-deserved retirement. Ken has been a star performer at Intec over almost a
2
decade of service, and we collectively reiterate our very warm best wishes to Ken and his family. More recently, John Moyes has transitioned to become a consultant to Intec’s ongoing projects, in the process also shifting to being a Non-executive Director of the Company. With more than 30 years of experience with Intec and its predecessors, and an encyclopaedic knowledge of the intricate chemistries that underpin our technology, we will continue to value John’s contributions as a consultant for many years to come.
You will note that the notice of meeting includes a resolution to change the Company’s external auditors from PricewaterhouseCoopers to WHK Howarth. We thank PricewaterhouseCoopers for its service to the Company over some 10 years.
On behalf of the directors I would also like to thank shareholders for their strong support for the Share Purchase Plan in June of this year.
Importantly, the Directors of Intec would like to thank all of our staff for their loyalty, hard work and persistent enthusiasm in the face of a challenging year. All of our team have made sacrifices to keep Intec moving forward, and their constructive resilience reflects very well upon them and our Company.
Also of key importance, the Company this week entered into a US$3 million convertible note facility with La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. This facility secures Intec’s working capital requirements to at least the end of 2010, by which time the Company hopes to be in a self-funded position.
Looking forward, Intec is adequately funded for the next financial period and will be applying all its resources and energy to furthering the growth opportunities that I have referred to. We might be bruised after a difficult year, but we are still on our feet, and there is a clear path before us.
