Quarterly Activities Report: Appendix 4C – December 2014
Attached is the December 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
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 achieved strong sales growth during the quarter. The significant area of expansion was in product sales to water treatment facilities associated with the extraction of coal seam gas in Queensland. To better service this sector, SciDev has set up a product transhipment depot in southeast Queensland. SciDev was profitable during the quarter.
In relation to the OptiFlox system, purchase orders for all necessary equipment were placed during the quarter. Fabrication and testing of the first module will be completed shortly and the first trial at a large New South Wales coal mine is expected to commence during the current quarter. Successful implementation of the OptiFlox system will result in SciDev receiving licensing fees for its patented technology and revenue from associated product sales.
Other
During the quarter 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.
Corporate
Intec's 2014 Annual General Meeting was held on 28 November 2014. All resolutions contained in the Notice of Meeting were passed including the appointment of Rothsay Chartered Accountants as the Company's new Auditor.
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. Cash flows relating to operating activities during the quarter were materially impacted by an employee redundancy payment and a make-good payment relating to the site of the former Burnie Research Facility. These payments amounted to approximately $155,000. Following the exit from Burnie the monthly operating costs of the Intec Group have materially decreased.
The consolidated cash balance at 31 December 2014 was $1.315 million.
