Quarterly Activities Report: Appendix 4C – March 2015

Attached is the March 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 in the mining and agribusiness industries in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria.

SciDev achieved a modest profit during the quarter despite a reduction in sales during March from customers in the quarrying and coal seam gas extraction industries due to site specific reasons. Sales to these customers are expected to resume during the current quarter. New customer sales in the areas of liquid waste treatment and metalliferous mining were achieved during the quarter.

In relation to the OptiFlox® system, fabrication and off-site testing of the system is now in its final stages. The commercial terms for a six-month trial of the Optiflox® system at a large NSW thermal coal mine have been agreed, which include the receipt of licensing fees and revenue from associated coagulant product sales. The system will be transported to the trial site in the first half of next month and should be operational shortly thereafter. Dependent upon successful trial results, further roll-outs of the OptiFlox® systems would be expected to take place in the second half of this calendar year.

The OptiFlox® system consists of two skids, referred to as the OptiFlox® skid and the Pump skid.

OptiFlox® skid

This houses all necessary instrumentation to provide for continuous measurement of key particle characteristics of the coal slurry in order to enable optimised realtime dosing of SciDev coagulant and real-time data capture.

Pump skid

The role of the pump skid is to draw a continuous sample from the thickeners' centre well and pump to the OptiFlox® skid, located near the thickener.

Corporate

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. The consolidated cash balance at 31 March 2015 was \$1.112 million.
