DIRECTORS' REPORT

Your Directors present their report on the consolidated entity consisting of Intec Ltd (Intec or the Company) and the entities it controlled (the Group) for the half-year ended 31 December 2014.

Directors

The names of the Company's Directors in office during the half-year and until the date of this report are set out below.

Trevor A Jones (Chairman and Non-executive Director) Kieran G Rodgers (Managing Director) Daniel J Cronin (Non-executive Director)

Principal activities

During the financial half-year the principal continuing activities of the consolidated entity consisted of the manufacture and importation of a range of coagulants and flocculants for use in wastewater treatment and sludge dewatering in the agribusiness and mining industries. In addition, the Company maintains an interest in the Intec Process via an agreement with Intec International Projects Pty Ltd.

Review of Operations and Comments on Results

The Group incurred a loss after providing for income tax for the half-year to 31 December 2014 of $482,583 (2013 – loss of $518,661). The loss includes non-cash items of depreciation and amortisation of $36,115 and an impairment expense of $13,100. The impairment expense relates to the expiration of options held by the Group in Bass Metals Ltd and the impairment of intellectual property held by Intec Copper Pty Limited.

The Group incurred net cash outflows from operations of $630,477 for the half-year ended 31 December 2014 (2013 – cash outflows from operations of $242,316). At 31 December 2014, the Group had net assets of $2,616,992 (June 2014 - $3,051,918) and cash balances of $1,315,367 (June 2014 - $1,747,861).

Science Developments Pty Limited

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. Highlights of SciDev's operations during the half-year include:

  • A profitable December quarter after incurring a loss in the September quarter;
  • Lodgement of a provisional patent for the OptiFlox system and commencement of the fabrication of the first unit;
  • Agreement of a strategic alliance with Alfa Laval Australia; and
  • Commencement of product sales to water treatment facilities associated with coal seam gas extraction in Queensland.

The September 2014 and December 2014 Quarterly Reports contain further information regarding the activities of SciDev during the half-year.

Sale of Intec International Projects (IIP)

On 30 September 2014 the Company divested its 50% shareholding in Intec International Projects Pty Limited (IIP) for consideration of $50,000, resulting in a gain on sale before income tax of $48,221. Previously, Intec and IIP had agreed to an extensive cross-licensing and technology transfer in relation to Intec's patent portfolio, for which Intec also received a payment of $50,000. IIP, under its new ownership, will be a provider of technical and associated services in relation to Intec Process applications. Intec will receive a 5% royalty on fees generated by IIP in relation to Intec Process applications. In addition, Intec retains its rights to its portion of unpaid fees relating to the IRC Project. In February 2015, Monument Mining Limited (Monument), a company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, announced that it had reached agreement with IIP in relation to the granting of certain Intec Process technology rights. In return, IIP will be granted Monument shares to the deemed value of $3.5 million. Release of these shares to IIP will be dependent upon achievement of agreed milestones.

Tasmanian Operations

During the period the Company determined that the Burnie Research Facility (BRF) would be de-commissioned. The Company was advised by EPA Tasmania that the decommissioning and remediation of the site of the former Burnie Research Facility were completed to a suitable standard. Consequently, the Company's site Operating Permit was relinquished. The Company's remaining interests in Tasmania are a 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty in relation to base metals on certain mining and exploration tenements covering the Hellyer-Que River area, its s shareholding in Bass Metals Ltd and its ownership of the Zeehan slag dump.

Corporate

The Company's Annual General Meeting was held on 28 November 2014. All resolutions contained in the Notice of Meeting were passed including the consideration of the Financial Report, adoption of the Remuneration Report, election of Directors Daniel Cronin and Trevor Jones, approval of the Intec Employee Share Scheme and approval of options for all directors and the appointment of Rothsay Chartered Accountants as the Company's new Auditor.

The Financial Statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2014 include the full consolidation of SciDev.

Events occurring after the reporting date

No events have occurred subsequent to 31 December 2014 requiring disclosure in, or amendment to, these interim financial statements.

Auditor's Independence Declaration

An independence declaration from the Company's auditor, Rothsay Chartered Accountants, Sydney is included on page 19 of the financial report.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of the Company's Directors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

This consolidated Financial Report for the half-year to 31 December 2014 is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standard AASB 134 "Interim Financial Reporting" and other mandatory professional reporting requirements. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

For the purpose of preparing the Half-Year Financial Report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

The Half-Year Financial Report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Intec Ltd. As such it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half year within the Group. This consolidated financial report does not include all notes normally included in an Annual Financial Report. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2014, together with any public announcements made by Intec Ltd during the half year ended 31 December 2014.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Accounting Policies

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Any significant impact on the accounting policies of the consolidated entity from the adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations are disclosed in Note 1B below. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.

B. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent (Intec Ltd) and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as "non-controlling interests". The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

C. Goodwill

  • Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of:
    • i. the consideration transferred;
    • ii. any non-controlling interest; and
  • iii. the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest;

over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.

The amount of goodwill recognised on acquisition of each subsidiary in which the Group holds less than a 100% interest will depend on the method adopted in measuring the non-controlling interest. The Group can elect in most circumstances to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value (full goodwill method) or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets (proportionate interest method). In such circumstances, the Group determines which method to adopt for each acquisition and this is stated in the respective notes to these financial statements disclosing the business combination.

Under the full goodwill method, the fair value of the non-controlling interests is determined using valuation techniques which make the maximum use of market information where available. Under this method, goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interests is recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Refer to Note 2 for information on the goodwill policy adopted by the Group for acquisitions.

Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity disposed of.

D. Intangibles Other than Goodwill

Trademarks are recognised at cost of acquisition. They have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Trademarks are amortised over their useful lives of 10 years.

E. Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

F. Going Concern Basis

The Half-Year Financial Report has been prepared on a going concern basis.

NOTE 2: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

NOTE 3: REVENUE

On 26 November 2013, the Group acquired 50% of the issued capital of Science Developments Pty Ltd ("SciDev"), a company that manufactures chemicals for use in waste water treatment, for a purchase consideration of $1,300,100. The acquisition is part of the Group's overall strategy to expand its interests in the treatment of industrial waste. The purchase was satisfied by the payment of $1,300,100.

NOTE 4: DISCOUNTINUED OPERATIONS

On 30 September 2014 the consolidated entity sold its 50% shareholding in Intec International Projects Pty Limited for consideration of $50,000 resulting in a gain on sale before income tax of $48,221. Previously, Intec and IIP had agreed to an extensive cross-licensing and technology transfer in relation to Intec's patent portfolio, for which Intec also received a payment of $50,000. Intec International Projects Pty Limited was not trading up to the date of sale and future losses were projected.

NOTE 6: OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS

The Group holds an investment in Bass Metals Ltd (BSM) of 18,100,000 shares. The closing market price at 31 December 2014 was 0.003 cents, which represented an increase in value of the BSM shares to $54,300. A revaluation of $18,100 was recorded against the asset revaluation reserve.

The Group also held an investment in Bass Metals Ltd options which expired on 30 September 2014. The value of the options at the time was $3,100. A loss was therefore recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

NOTE 7: PLANT & EQUIPMENT

Burnie Research Facility

NOTE 8: INTANGIBLE ASSETS ACQUIRED

NOTE 9: BORROWINGS

Borrowings consist of a trade finance facility with Westpac Banking Corporation and a motor vehicle finance lease.

NOTE 10: SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

Employee Share Scheme

At the 2014 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved the Intec Employee Share Scheme (the Scheme). The Scheme replaced the previous Intec Option Plan, which had been approved at the 2001 Annual General Meeting. All directors, employees and consultants are eligible to participate in the Scheme. Options granted under the Scheme to eligible participants are for no additional consideration. Options are granted for a five year period, and vest and are exercisable immediately, unless otherwise stated. Options granted under the Scheme carry no dividend or voting rights. The granting of options is at the Board's discretion and no individual has a contractual right to receive options.

The terms and conditions of each grant of options affecting remuneration in the previous, this or future reporting periods are as follows:

IssueDate ExpiryDate ExercisePrice Balanceat1 July 2014 Grantedduringhalf-year Lapsedduringhalf-year Exercisedduringhalf-year Vested &exercisable as at30 June 2014

Total Options on issue 3,300,000 5,500,000 - - 8,800,000
  1. Granted under previous Intec Option Plan.

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted under the Scheme is allocated equally over the period from grant date to vesting date, and the amount is included in remuneration. Fair values at grant date are independently determined using option valuation models that take into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date, the expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option. There were 5,500,000 employee options granted during the half-year (year ending 30 June 2014 – nil). The fair value of the options at grant date was $29,557.

Shares provided on exercise of remuneration options

No ordinary shares (30 June 2014 - Nil) in the Company were provided as a result of the exercise of remuneration options to eligible participants in the Scheme. Accordingly, there were no expenses arising from share based payment transactions recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

NOTE 11: EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER REPORTING DATE

No matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial half year which significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Intec Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year consolidated financial report of Intec Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising Intec Limited and the entities it controlled at the half-year's end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the disclosing entity are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2014 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Intec Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Intec Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Intec Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
