Quarterly Activities Report: Appendix 4C March 2014

Attached is the March 2014 Quarterly Report for Entities Admitted on the Basis of Commitments (Appendix 4C) for Intec Ltd (ASX Code: INL, Intec or the Company).

Science Developments Pty Ltd

The Company 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.

At the time of Intec’s acquisition of a 50% interest, SciDev’s customer base was agribusiness and mining. Within the agribusiness segment the customer base was almost exclusively in the dairy processing industry. The financial performance of SciDev during the Quarter was impacted by an unscheduled plant shutdown at one of its major customers within this sector. In addition, the dairy processing industry in Australia is undergoing a period of change that is impacting on the competitive position and thus production volumes of certain industry participants, including within SciDev’s historic customer base. Furthermore, since Intec’s acquisition of its 50% interest, SciDev’s cost base has increased due to investment in business development activities and the entering into of contractual employment arrangements with the SciDev management team. As a consequence of all these matters, SciDev incurred a small loss for the Quarter although sales rebounded in March following under budget performance in January and February 2014.

During the Quarter SciDev aggressively commenced the diversification of its customer base within the dairy processing sector. This included the successful completion of production trials of SciDev products at dairy processing facilities in New South Wales and Victoria. One of these facilities has now converted to SciDev product and in respect of the other, finalisation of trial results are awaited. In addition, during the current quarter production trials of SciDev product are scheduled at a further two dairy processing facilities.

The basis for Intec’s acquisition of an interest in SciDev was the opportunity to expand product sales into other industry sectors and geographical areas. This commenced during the Quarter with SciDev achieving its first sales to participants in both the quarrying industry and the chicken processing industry. Further production trials within these two industry sectors are scheduled to

occur during the current quarter. Business development activities also continued in the coal industry and the sewage industry and may result in production trials during the current quarter. Whilst significant effort is being put into business development activities within new industry sectors, the financial impact of these efforts will take time to emerge.

Other

No production activities occurred at the Burnie Research Facility (the Facility) during the Quarter. However, it is expected that the Facility will operate during the current quarter treating industrial waste from Automotive Components Limited (ACL) (Receivers and Managers Appointed) (In Liquidation). ACL is a supplier to the Australian automotive sector and hence its future is uncertain. The future operating status of ACL is expected to be resolved during the current quarter, dependent upon which the Company will consider options for the Facility. These could include continued operation of the Facility on a campaign basis to treat ACL sourced material, or either its sale or decommissioning.

The status of the IRC Project remains unchanged. The completed engineering design package will be delivered to the client upon receipt of an overdue payment due to Intec International Projects Pty Ltd (IIP), an incorporated 50:50 joint venture between the Company and Mr Reza Maghzian.

Corporate

The Company continues to investigate other acquisition opportunities, principally those either complementary or supplementary to SciDev.

The Appendix 4C, including the consolidated statement of cash flows, represents a consolidation of the cash flows of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and SciDev. The cash balance of the Company at 31 March 2014 was $1.836 million.
