Quarterly Activities Report: Appendix 4C June 2014
Attached is the June 2014 Quarterly Report for Entities Admitted on the Basis of Commitments (Appendix 4C) for Intec Ltd (ASX Code: INL; Intec).
Science Developments Pty Ltd
Intec owns a 50% interest in Science Developments Pty Ltd (SciDev) and holds an option to increase its ownership to 100% based on an agreed formula related to the future profitability of SciDev. SciDev is a manufacturer and supplier of coagulants and flocculants for wastewater treatment and sludge dewatering in the mining and agribusiness industries in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria.
SciDev incurred a small loss during the quarter due to continued expenditure on business development and a decline in purchases by some existing customers. This in some instances was due to SciDev either optimising an existing chemical regime or introducing a new chemical regime.
During the quarter, SciDev gained a new customer in the quarry industry and also conducted trials at two dairy processing sites; a sewage treatment facility and a food manufacturing facility. SciDev is confident that customer analysis of the trials will result in new client acquisitions in either the majority or all of the above mentioned sites. In addition, early in the September quarter, trials of SciDev flocculants will be undertaken at two industrial waste treatment facilities.
During the September quarter, SciDev will be lodging a provisional patent relating to the use of its coagulants and flocculants in coal washing plants and tailings de-watering facilities for both coal and metalliferous mining operations. Following lodgement of the provisional patent, an agreed trial of SciDev products and associated intellectual property will take place at a large Australian coal mine.
Prior to the end of the quarter, the shareholders of SciDev contributed $100,000 in unsecured loan funds to SciDev, of which Intec’s share was $50,000. The purpose of the loan is to fund current and future business development activities including intellectual property protection. Intec remains confident that the resources being applied to SciDev business development will begin to show in financial performance during the second half of this calendar year.

Burnie Research Facility
During the quarter, the Burnie Research Facility (the Facility) conducted a campaign treatment of industrial waste from Automotive Components Limited (ACL) (Receivers and Managers Appointed) (In Liquidation). ACL ceased operations on 30 June 2014 and its Launceston; Tasmania manufacturing facilities are currently being de-commissioned. De-commissioning activities will generate additional quantities of waste material that will be treated at the Facility during the September 2014 quarter.
The cessation of operations at ACL was expected and consequently during the quarter, Intec made a decision to de-commission the Facility, after being unable to identify a buyer. De-commissioning activities are well underway, while maintaining the ability to treat ACL material. The Facility is nine years old and while various items of plant and equipment have been or will be sold, the majority of plant and equipment will be scrapped. De-commissioning of the facility and a complete exit from the site is expected to occur no later than October 2014. It is expected that the costs of decommissioning, including a redundancy payment to a permanent employee, will be offset by ACL treatment fees and the sale of plant and equipment. The carrying value of the Facility on Intec’s balance sheet was depreciated to zero as of 30 June 2014.
Corporate
Intec continues to investigate other acquisition opportunities, principally those either complementary or supplementary to SciDev.
The attached Appendix 4C, including the consolidated statement of cash flows, represents a consolidation of the cash flows of Intec, its wholly owned subsidiaries and SciDev. The consolidated cash balance at 30 June 2014 was $1.746 million.
