Quarterly Activities Report: Appendix 4C – December 2015

Attached is the December 2015 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 strong sales and profit growth during the prior September quarter. This was not able to be maintained during the December quarter. However, on an annualised basis the level of sales is being maintained above those achieved in the prior financial year. The lower level of sales was principally due to:

  • A delay in the commissioning of the first Optiflox® system and hence delays in the receipt of monthly licence fees and associated chemical sales; and
  • Significantly reduced product sales in New Zealand. Indications are that New Zealand sales are likely to be seasonally based in the winter/autumn months with materially lower levels at other times.

In relation to Optiflox® system, certain modifications have been required to the system currently installed at Peabody Energy's Wilpinjong coal mine. These modifications will greatly reduce the cost and complexity of the subsequent version of the Optiflox® system. The modifications have been completed and the system is currently being re-installed at Wilpinjong and should be in operation shortly.

Successful commercialisation of the Optiflox® system is the key focus for SciDev. The Company expects to be able to report on the results of the Wilpinjong trial during the current quarter.

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 December 2015 was $0.735 million.
