Quarterly Activities Report: Appendix 4C – March 2016

Attached is the March 2016 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.

SciDev achieved both sales and profit growth during the quarter. In relation to the Optiflox® system, modifications were made to the system during the quarter. The system has been re-installed at Peabody Energy's Wilpinjong coal mine and is currently operating under trial conditions including the controlled dosing of SciDev coagulant product. Initial trial data indicates that the system provides both productivity and cost benefits although the quantum of such benefits require further data gathering. The Company expects to release further information on the trial during the current quarter.

During and subsequent to the quarter, SciDev personnel have visited a further four Peabody Energy coal mines in Australia. Following the delivery of a commercial proposal, which was based on laboratory testwork on samples of relevant coal slurry, a trial of SciDev coagulant has been approved at one of these mine sites and will commence shortly. In addition, development of proposals for commercial trials of SciDev product at the three other Peabody Energy sites are currently in progress. SciDev is confident that trials at either some or all of these sites will be approved. All of these sites represent opportunities for the installation of OptiFlox® systems.

The Company is disappointed that the trial of the OptiFlox® system at Wilpinjong has taken longer than originally anticipated. However, work during the quarter on a re-configuration of the system appears to have been successful. Additionally, SciDev has a number of prospective prospects in hand regarding future sales of both chemicals and OptiFlox® systems. The Company remains confident that the successful commercialisation of the OptiFlox® system will result in sales and profit growth for SciDev in both coal and other industries.

Corporate

Intec continues to investigate other acquisition opportunities, principally those either complementary or supplementary to SciDev. Intec also continues to investigate options for realising value from its wholly-owned Zeehan Slag dump.

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 31 March 2016 was $0.644 million.
