Intec Ltd 2016 Annual Report 

Letter from the Chairman and Managing Director 

Dear Intec Shareholder 

28 October 2016 

This is Intec Ltd’s (Intec) or the Company(’s), fifteenth Annual Report since listing on the Australian Securities 
Exchange (ASX) and includes the audited financial statements for the financial year ending 30 June 2016. 

For the 2015/16 financial year, the Company recorded a loss after tax of $0.458 million compared to a loss after 
tax of $0.856 million for the previous financial year.  Net cash outflows from operating activities decreased to 
$0.541 million compared with $1.081 million for the prior year. 

The Company’s principal activity is its 50% ownership in Science Developments Pty Ltd (SciDev). SciDev is a 
Sydney-based company that develops, manufactures and supplies coagulants and flocculants for wastewater 
treatment and sludge dewatering.  Key achievements of SciDev during the year included: 

•  Maintenance of its existing customer base in dairy manufacturing, quarrying, metalliferous mining, water 

treatment associated with coal-seam gas extraction and industrial waste treatment; 

•  A successful trial of the OptiFlox® System, on which a patent is pending, at Peabody Energy’s Wilpinjong 

thermal coal mine in NSW; and 

•  Based on experience gained during the Wilpinjong trial, a Mark 2 version of the OptiFlox® System has 

been designed. 

Subsequent to 30 June 2016, Intec agreed a six-month extension to the term i.e. to 28 February 2017, of its 
option to acquire the remaining 50% of SciDev. 

In addition, SciDev agreed an exclusive manufacturing and customer arrangement with Burkert Fluid Control 
Systems, a German multinational, in relation to the OptiFlox® System. The first order for the Mark 2 OptiFlox® 
System has been placed with Burkert and this system will be installed at Wilpinjong in mid-December with the 
existing system proposed to be re-located to another site. Furthermore, SciDev is currently finalising with 
Peabody Energy a contract for the long-term supply of the OptiFlox® System and associated chemicals at 
Wilpinjong. 

The trial at Wilpinjong of the OptiFlox® System was challenging and took longer than originally expected. 
However, management is now confident that the OptiFlox® System will provide productivity benefits to clients 
and future revenue and profit growth for Intec shareholders. 

The objectives for the current year are as follows: 

• 

Installation of OptiFlox® Systems in other Peabody Energy sites where trials of SciDev chemicals have 
already taken place; 

•  Rollout of the OptiFlox® System to other participants in the Australian coal industry; 
• 
•  Undertaking necessary development work to demonstrate the application of the OptiFlox® System to 

The identification of international licensing opportunities for the OptiFlox® System; and 

other industries such as sewage and dairy processing. 

Yours sincerely 

Trevor A Jones

Intec Ltd 2016 Annual Report 
Review of Operations 

For the 2015/16 financial year, the Company recorded a loss after tax of $0.458 million compared to a loss 
after tax of $0.856 million for the previous financial year. Net cash outflows from operating activities 
decreased to $0.541 million compared with $1.081 million for the prior year. Revenue from operations 
increased to $1.774 million compared with $1.537 million for the 2014/15 financial year. 

Science Developments Pty Ltd (SciDev) 

The Company’s principal activity is its 50% ownership in Science Developments Pty Ltd (SciDev). The Company 
holds an option to acquire the remaining 50% of SciDev prior to 28 February 2017, based on an agreed formula 
related to future profitability. 

SciDev develops, manufactures and supplies coagulants and flocculants for wastewater treatment and sludge 
dewatering. During the 2015/16 financial year, SciDev recorded a profit after tax of $0.066 million compared 
with a loss for the previous year.  Key achievements of SciDev during the year included: 

•  Maintenance of its existing customer base in dairy manufacturing, quarrying, metalliferous mining and 

water treatment associated with coal-seam gas extraction: 

•  Continued sales to New Zealand via the exclusive distribution agreement with Apex Environmental Ltd; 

and 

•  A successful trial of the OptiFlox® System at Peabody Energy’s Wilpinjong thermal coal mine in NSW. 

SciDev’s products can be categorised into the following three broad groups: 

1. Aqueous cationic coagulants; 
2. Aqueous flocculent concentrates; and 
3. Polyacrylamide powders and emulsions. 

These products are supplied to the market through a combination of both local manufacture and imports. 
SciDev is best known within specific industry sectors by its registered brand names; DairyFlox®, MaxiFlox and 
OptiFlox®. 

DairyFlox® 
For dairy processing businesses, the DairyFlox® coagulant/flocculent range delivers optimum performance in 
the treatment of wastewater streams at a treatment cost unmatched in the market. DairyFlox® provides cost 
savings through its unique efficacy across a broad pH range and dewatering capabilities to minimise sludge 
volumes. 

MaxiFlox® 
For industry participants in the quarrying and metalliferous mining sectors the MaxiFlox® coagulant/flocculent 
range delivers optimum performance in the treatment of wastewater streams at a market leading treatment 
cost. 

OptiFlox® 

The OptiFlox® system, and associated coagulants, was specifically designed to address the issue of very turbid 
water flowing from a thickener in a Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP). CHPP plants continually 
experience slurry flows that do not remain homogeneous. The types and concentrations of the particles in such 
slurries vary significantly as coal extraction moves from one pit to another within the mine site. This variation in 
the loading and composition of the material can cause ineffective chemical usage and inadequate 
control/clarification which cannot be solved by today’s conventional optical sensing devices commonly installed 
in thickeners. 

Highly turbid or ‘blackwater’ events can therefore occur resulting in the CHPP shutting down and production 
slowing or ceasing. Substantial losses in productivity and revenue can therefore result. The value of lost 
revenue due to productivity losses from inadequate wastewater clarification is estimated to range from $1.6M 
to $10M per annum depending on the size of the operation. 

Developed by SciDev, the OptiFlox® system addresses this issue by continuously measuring in real time the 
appropriate particle characteristics of the slurry entering the thickener. As a result, the OptiFlox® system 
automatically determines and maintains the optimal coagulant dose rate required even when the characteristics 

3 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Intec Ltd 2016 Annual Report 

of the slurry feed to the thickener continually change. Optimal flocculation conditions are thereby maintained to 
enable consistent and reliable clarified water to be produced for re-use in the CHPP. 

The OptiFlox® System enables coal productivity to be maximised through minimising the number of shutdowns 
caused by the return of excessively turbid water to the CHPP. Further benefits in the form of increased yields, 
reduced magnetite consumption, improved underflow dewatering and chemical cost savings may also be 
realised through optimal thickener performance. 

During the year, a six-month commercial trial of the Optiflox® system was undertaken at Peabody Energy’s 
Wilpinjong thermal coal mine in the Western Coalfields of NSW. The terms of the commercial trial included the 
receipt of licensing fees and revenue from associated Optiflox® coagulant product sales. 

The Mark 1 version of the OptiFlox® System employed in the Wilpinjong trial is shown below. The Mark 1 
OptiFlox® system consists of two skids, referred to as the OptiFlox® skid and the Pump skid. 

OptiFlox® skid 

Pump skid 

The OptiFlox® skid houses all necessary instrumentation to provide for continuous measurement of key particle 
characteristics of the coal slurry in order to enable optimised real-time dosing of SciDev coagulant and real- 
time data capture. The role of the pump skid is to draw a continuous sample from the thickeners’ centre well 
and pump to the OptiFlox® skid, which is located at the side of the thickener. 

Like all R & D projects, the move from laboratory and bench scale testwork to installation and full-time 
operation at an industry site resulted in many challenges and adjustments to the original design. However, the 
Wilpinjong trial of the OptiFlox® System demonstrated its ability to continuously measure in real time the 
appropriate particle characteristics of coal tailings in order to: 

•  Determine when to dose coagulant; 
•  What quantity of coagulant to dose; and 
•  When to stop dosing coagulant. 

The figure below illustrates the real time data capture and consequent dosing of OptiFlox® coagulant at 
Wilpinjong in order to maintain water quality in the thickener at a pre-determined level.

Intec Ltd 2016 Annual Report 

Based on the experience gained from the Wilpinjong trial, a Mark 2 OptiFlox® system was designed and the 
first order for the Mark 2 OptiFlox® system has now been placed. The improvements of the Mark 2 
OptiFlox® system are described below. 

Zeehan Slag Dump 

The Company maintains ownership of a Mining Lease (ML) and a Retention Licence (RL) over the Zeehan Slag 
Dump, located 3 kilometres south of Zeehan on the Tasmanian West Coast. The slag dump comprises zinc-bearing 
residues from an historic lead smelter previously operated at the site. The slag dump, based on historical records, 
contains approximately 430,000 tonnes at a grade of approximately 14% zinc.  Note that this estimate of tonnage 
and grade is not compliant with the Australasian  Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources 
and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code). The annual holding costs of the ML and RL are less than $15,000 and the 
financial assurance lodged with the Tasmanian Government amounts to $10,800. 

The Company is currently in the process of converting its Retention Licence into a Mining Lease and thus holding 
one  Mining  Lease  over  the  entire  Zeehan  Slag  Dump.  This  conversion  will  not  result  in  either  any  additional 
holding costs or increase in the financial assurance amount and will reduce reporting requirements. 

As  the  zinc-bearing  slag  material  cannot  be  upgraded  via  flotation  etc.,  the  options  to  derive  value  from  the 
Zeehan Slag Dump comprise: 

1.  Direct  shipping  parcels  of the  slag  to  processing  facilities,  principally  overseas,  capable of  treating  the 
slag.  For this option to be economic, a US$ zinc price higher than current levels (approximately US$2,300 
per tonne) is required; and 

2.  The sale of the Mining Leases to another party. 

During  the  year  and  subsequently,  the  Company  has  received  several  approaches  along  the  lines  described 
above and continues to evaluate opportunities to realise value from its ownership of the Zeehan Slag Dump.

net smelter royalty in relation to base metals extracted from several tenements in the Hellyer-Que River region 
of Tasmania.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration; 
Details of remuneration; 
Service agreements and letters of employment;

Additional information. 

The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by Section 308 (3C) of the 
Corporations Act 2001. 

Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration 

A 
The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure that the reward for performance is 
competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the 
achievement of financial objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms to market best 
practice for delivery of reward. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for 
good reward governance practices: 
•  competitiveness and reasonableness; 
•  acceptability to shareholders; 
•  performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation; 
• 
transparency; and 
•  capital management. 

The Group has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive. The framework provides 
for a mix of fixed pay and also variable pay and includes long term incentives, when appropriate. There is no 
defined relationship between Company performance and remuneration at this point in time. However, the 
matter is under continual review. The fixed proportion of remuneration is currently 100%. The Board has 
established a nomination and remuneration committee which provides advice on remuneration and incentive 
policies and practices and makes specific recommendations on remuneration packages and other terms of 
employment for the Managing Director, other senior executives and Non-Executive Directors. The Corporate 
Governance Statement provides further information on the role of this Committee. 

Non-Executive Directors 
Fees and payments to the Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the 
responsibilities of, the Non–Executive Directors. The Board undertakes a review of Non-Executive Directors’ 
fees and payments annually. 

Non-Executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate Non-Executive Directors’ cash remuneration limit, 
which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The current limit of $400,000 was approved by 
shareholders at the 2007 Annual General Meeting held on 14 November 2007. In addition, Non-Executive Directors 
are able to participate in issues of options pursuant to the Intec Employee Share Scheme. The value of any options 
granted to Non-Executive Directors are not included in the aggregate cash remuneration limit as they are not cash 
based payments.

Intec Ltd 2016 Annual Report 

Executive pay 
The executive pay and reward framework has two components, which together comprise the executive’s total 
remuneration 
•  base pay, superannuation and non-monetary benefits; and 
• 

long term incentives through participation in the Intec Employee Share Scheme. 

Base pay 
Base pay is structured as a total employment cost package, which may be delivered as a combination of cash 
and prescribed non-financial benefits at the executive’s discretion. Executives are offered a competitive base 
pay that comprises a fixed component of cash salary and superannuation. Base pay for each senior executive is 
reviewed annually to ensure the executive’s pay is competitive with the market. There is no guaranteed base 
pay increase included in any executive’s contract. 

Intec Employee Share Scheme 
Information on the Intec Employee Share Scheme is set out in note 21. Participation in the Intec Employee Share 
Scheme is at the discretion of the Board and there is no guarantee of annual participation by any executive.

Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2016 

1 

Summary of significant accounting policies 

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Intec Ltd and controlled entities 
(‘Consolidated Group’ or ‘Group’). The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Intec Ltd, have not 
been presented within this financial report as permitted by amendments made to the Corporations Act 2001 
effective from 28 June 2010. 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These 
policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

(a) 

Basis of preparation 

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the 
Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply 
with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board ('IASB'). 

Historical cost convention 
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are prepared under the historical cost 
convention, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, 
financial assets and financial liabilities. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also 
requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The 
areas involving higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are 
significant to the financial statements, are disclosed within the relevant note. 

Functional and presentation currency 
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured in Australian dollars and 
the consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and 
presentation currency. 

Going concern 
The Company and controlled entities (the Group) generated an operating loss after income tax of $458,130 
(2015: $856,446) and net cash outflows from operations of $541,397 (2015: $1,081,085) in the year ended 30 
June 2016. At 30 June 2016, the Group had net assets of $1,766,899 (2015: $2,243,129) and cash balances of 
$479,089 (2015: $926,394). 

These matters give rise to a material uncertainty that may cast doubt whether the Group can continue as a going 
concern and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the ordinary course of business and at amounts stated 
in the Financial Statements. The continuing viability of the Group and its ability to continue as a going concern and 
meet its debts and commitments as and when they fall due are dependent upon the Group being successful in the 
following: 

•  Commercialisation of the Optiflox® System with resultant increased product sales and technology leasing 

fees; 
The raising sufficient capital by way of either additional debt and/or equity capital; and 
The receipt of proceeds from the sale of non-core assets. 

• 
• 

The Directors are of the opinion that sufficient additional funding will be secured and are themselves likely to 
participate in any future equity capital raising. The Financial Report has therefore been prepared on the basis of a 
going concern. This basis presumes that funds from the above sources will be available to finance future 
operations, and to repay liabilities and that the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities will occur in the 
normal course of business. 

However, the Directors note that if sufficient funds are not raised through the abovementioned sources, the going 
concern basis may not be appropriate with the result that the group may have to realise its assets and extinguish 
its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and in amounts different from those stated in the 
Financial Report.

Summary of significant accounting policies - continued 

Accounting policies 
Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resultant financial information 
satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying 
transactions and other events is reported. The Group has adopted relevant new and revised accounting 
standards and pronouncements with no material impact to the financial statements. 

Fair value measurement 

(b) 
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement 
and for disclosure purposes. 

The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate 
their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future 
contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial 
instruments. 

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure 
purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a 
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the 
transaction will take place either: in the principle market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most 
advantageous market. 

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or 
liability, assuming they act in their economic best interest. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement 
is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for 
which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable 
inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that 
reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed each 
reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input 
that is significant to the fair value measurement. 

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise 
is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on 
market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from 
one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the 
latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data. 

(c) 

Financial instruments 

Recognition and initial measurement 

(i) 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions 
to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Company commits itself to either the 
purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). Financial instruments are initially measured 
at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified “at fair value through profit or 
loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. 

Classification and subsequent measurement 

(ii) 
Finance instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method, or cost. 

Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition 
less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of 
the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest 
method. 

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are 
applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, 
reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Summary of significant accounting policies - continued 

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period 
and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, 
transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably 
predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or 
financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying 
value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss. 

Loans and receivables 

(iii) 
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active 
market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Loans and receivables are included in current assets, where they are expected to mature within 12 months 
after the end of the reporting period. 

(iv) 
Financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Financial liabilities 

Available-for-sale financial assets 

(v) 
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets, principally equity securities that are either 
designated as available-for-sale or not classified as any other category. After initial recognition, fair value 
movements are recognised in other comprehensive income through the available-for-sale reserve in equity. 
Cumulative gain or loss previously reported in the available-for-sale reserve is recognised in profit or loss when 
the asset is derecognised or impaired. 

Impairment 

(vi) 
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial 
instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the 
value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are 
recognised in profit or loss. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other 
comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point. 

Financial guarantees 

(vii) 
Where material, financial guarantees issued that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse 
the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due are recognised as a 
financial liability at fair value on initial recognition. 

The guarantee is subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation and the amount 
initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation in accordance with AASB 118: Revenue. 
Where the entity gives guarantees in exchange for a fee, revenue is recognised under AASB 118. 

The fair value of financial guarantee contracts has been assessed using a probability-weighted discounted cash 
flow approach. The probability has been based on: 
– 
– 

the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a year period; 
the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed party 
defaulting; and 
the maximum loss exposed if the guaranteed party were to default. 

– 

De-recognition 

(viii) 
Financial assets are de-recognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is 
transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the 
risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations 
are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability 
extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of 
non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. 

Provisions 

(d) 
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is 
probably the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of 
the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration 
required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties 
surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current 
pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is 
recognised as a finance cost.

Summary of significant accounting policies - continued 

(ii) 
Provisions for legal claims are recognised when: 

Provisions for legal claims 

• 
• 
• 

the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; 
it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and 
the amount has been reliably estimated. 

Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. 

Provisions for close down and restoration and for environmental clean-up costs 

(iii) 
Close down and restoration costs include the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure and the removal of 
residual materials and remediation of disturbed areas. Estimated close down and restoration costs are provided 
for in the accounting period when the obligation arising from the related disturbances occurs. Provisions for 
close down and restoration costs do not include any additional obligations which are expected to arise on the 
basis of a closure plan. 

As noted above, the ultimate cost of environmental remediation is uncertain and cost estimates can vary in 
response to many factors including changes to the relevant legal requirements, the emergence of new 
restoration techniques or experience. As a result, there could be significant adjustments to the provision for 
close down and restoration and environmental clean-up, which would affect future financial results. 

Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

(e) 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is 
not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the 
asset or as part of the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of 
GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the 
statement of financial position. 

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or 
financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating 
cash flows. 

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the 
tax authority. 

Leases 

(f) 
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the 
arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use 
of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. 

A distinction is made between finance leases (Note 14), which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee 
substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under 
which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits. 

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or 
if  lower,  the  present  value  of  minimum  lease  payments.  Lease  payments  are  allocated  between  the  principal 
component of the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining 
balance of the liability. 

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of 
the asset's useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain 
ownership at the end of the lease term. 

New Accounting Standards and interpretations 

(g) 
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet 
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 
June 2016. The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards 
and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below. 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard 
provides a single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will

Intec Ltd 2016 Annual Report 

1 
(g)  New Accounting Standards and interpretations -  continued 

Summary of significant accounting policies – continued 

recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects 
the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The 
standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate 
performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of 
money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a 
basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct 
observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk 
will be presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue. For goods, the performance 
obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance 
obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to 
customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of 
progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied. 
Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a 
contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the 
customer's payment. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand 
the contracts with customers; the significant judgments made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and 
any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The consolidated entity will 
adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated 
entity. 

AASB 16 Leases 
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard 
replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance 
leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, 
measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The 
exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal 
computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' 
asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the 
capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct 
costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating 
lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating 
costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods 
of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease 
expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) 
results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or 
loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated 
into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For 
lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The 
consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed 
by the consolidated entity.

Financial instruments and financial risk management –  continued 

The financial risks associated with the financial instruments and the business are market risk (including 
currency, cash flow, interest rate and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk 
management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential 

adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. Risk management is carried out by Company 
management and the Board of Directors. Financial risks are identified and evaluated and, where considered 
necessary, strategies are put in place to investigate and/or minimise such risks. 

Foreign exchange risk 

(a) 
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The Group has a trade finance facility 
utilised for the purchase of US$ denominated invoices. Purchases through the facility are transacted at the 
prevailing spot A$/US$ exchange rate and the outstanding amount under the facility is always denominated in 
A$. The Group has not entered into any foreign currency hedging contracts during the year. 

Credit risk 

(b) 
Credit risk arises from the potential failure of counterparties to meet their obligations under the respective 
contracts at maturity. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of product are made to customers 
with an appropriate credit history. There is limited credit risk on financial assets of the Group since there is 
limited exposure to individual customers and the Group’s exposure is limited to the amount of cash, short term 
deposits and receivables which have been recognised in the statement of financial position. Deposits and 
financial arrangements are held in high rated financial institutions. 

Liquidity risk 

(c) 
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an 
adequate amount of committed finance facilities. 

The Group's financing activities are managed centrally by maintaining an adequate level of cash and cash 
equivalents to finance the Group's operations. The Group’s surplus funds are also managed centrally by placing 
them with reputable financial institutions. 

The risk implied from the values shown in the following table, reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and 
outflows. Trade payables and other financial liabilities originate from the financing of assets used in the Group’s 
ongoing operations such as property, plant and equipment and investments in working capital, inventories and 
trade receivables. 

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk 

(d) 
The Group's interest rate risk arises from borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash 
flow interest rate risk.

Fair value 

(e) 
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an 
orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the 
measurement date. 

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows: 

• 

• 

the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in 
active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices; and 
the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally 
accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis. 

The Group considers that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial 
statements to be a fair approximation of their fair values, because of the short-term nature of the financial 
instruments and the expectation that they will be paid in full. 

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value 
The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and 
classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. 

The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels: 
•  quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1); 
• 

inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either 
directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and 
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

Discontinued operations 

On  30  September  2014,  the  consolidated  entity  sold  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  was  not  trading  up  to  the  date  of  sale  and 
future losses were projected.

Revenue from continuing operations – continued 

Revenue is recognised at fair value when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated 
entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably 
measurable until all contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved. The Group bases its estimates on 
historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and specifics of each 
arrangement. 

Sales of goods and disposal of assets is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken 
delivery of the goods, the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract. 
Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and trade discounts. 

Consulting services and treatment fees are recognised using the percentage-of-completion method for fixed-fee 
arrangements or as the services are provided for time-and-materials arrangements. 

Other income, which includes government grants and any other forms of government assistance, is recognised 
on receipt or when reasonable assurance that income will be earned is established.

Income tax (benefit)/expense -  continued 

Tax losses will only be recognised and obtained if it is probable: 
(i) 

(ii) 

(iii) 

the Group will derive future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the 
benefit from the deductions for the losses and temporary difference to be realised; 
the Group complies with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the tax legislation such as 
continuity of ownership and same business test; and 
no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from deductions for the 
losses and temporary differences. 

Deferred Tax Asset/Liability 

(c) 
The deferred tax liability of $65,882 (2015: $74,765) relates to the brand name acquired on acquisition of 
Science Developments Pty Ltd net of amortisation expense. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for 
allowable temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities 
are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted. 

Tax Consolidation Legislation 

(d) 
Intec Ltd and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the 
tax consolidation regime. This commenced 1 July 2008. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax 
consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated 
group has supplied the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach in determining the appropriate amount of 
taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. 

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax 
liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits 
assumed from each subsidiary in the consolidated group. 

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognized as 
amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding 
arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax 
consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a 
distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method, less provision for impairment. 

Provision for impairment of receivables 

(a) 
Current trade and other receivables are generally on 30-day terms. A provision for impairment is recognised 
when there is objective evidence that an individual trade or other receivable is not recoverable. Management 
look at history of payments and solvency of the debtor. No impairment has been required at year end. 

Credit Risk — trade and other receivables 

(b) 
There is no significant concentration of credit risk to any single entity. No security is held, and no terms have 
been renegotiated, which would otherwise be past due or impaired. Amounts are considered as ‘past due’ when 
the  debt  has  not  been  settled,  within  the  terms  and  conditions  agreed  between  the  Group  and  the  customer. 
There is no trade debtor or other receivable amount where collateral has been received as security or pledged.

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business and is recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation. Goodwill 
is calculated as the excess of the sum of: 

i. 
ii. 
iii. 

the consideration transferred; 
any non-controlling interest; and 
the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest; over the acquisition date 
fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. 

Goodwill is not amortised. Instead goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit 
or loss and are not subsequently reversed. 

Judgement and estimate 

(a) 
No impaired has been incurred to date. When assessing the recoverable amount of goodwill a value-in-use 
calculation using a discounted cashflow model based on a 5 year projection, and a terminal value multiple has 
been used.  The final 4 of those years are based on an extrapolation of the prepared budget for year 1.

Intec Ltd 2016 Annual Report 

12  Non-current assets - Intangible assets -  continued 

Key assumptions in the discounted cashflow model include: 
a.  Post-tax discount rate of 8% per annum; 
b.  Revenue growth of 93% in 2017, 66% in 2018 reducing to 4% in 2019; 
c.  Growth in gross margin of 103% in 2016, 76% in 2017 reducing to 5% in 2018; and 
d.  Average per annum increase in operating expenses of 18%. 

Sensitivity to change of assumptions 
If the next year’s financial budget used in the value in use calculation had been 10% lower than management’s 
estimates at 30 June 2016, the Group would have a recoverable amount in excess of $283,000 against the 
carrying amount of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill relates. The cash generating unit is Science 
Development Pty Limited. If the post-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections of this CGU had 
been 2% higher than management’s estimates (10% instead of 8%), the Group would have a recoverable 
amount in excess of $614,000 against the carrying amount of intangible assets and property, plant and 
equipment. 

Intangible assets other than Goodwill 

(b) 
Trademarks and IP 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. Impairment is assessed annually with reference to ownership and expected use.

to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to 
expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected 
future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to 
maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(c) 
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in 
proportion to the number of shares held. On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a 
meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote. 
Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. 

Contributed equity 

(d) 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or 
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 

Capital Management 

(e) 
Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio and ensure that 
the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. The Group’s debt and capital includes 
ordinary share capital and financial liabilities supported by financial assets. There are no externally imposed 
capital requirements. Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial 
risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These 
responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues. 

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since 
the prior year. The quantitative data the Group assesses as capital is $1,766,899 which is consistent with the 
net assets of the Group (2015: $2,243,129).

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity 
controls an entity when the consolidated entity 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. 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They 
are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated 
entity are eliminated. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in 
ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference 
between the consideration transferred and the and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest 
acquired is recognised directly in in equity attributable to the parent. 

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of 
the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest 
in full, even if that results in a deficit balance. 

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, 
liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences 
recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair 
value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

consolidated entity is set out below:

Earnings per share 
(i) 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, 
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the 
year.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into 
account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential 
ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration 
in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Information concerning the classification of securities 

Options 
Options granted to employees under the Intec Employee Share Scheme and to other entities have been included in 
the determination of diluted profit/(loss) per share. No options have been included in the determination of basic 
profit/(loss) per share. Details relating to the options are set out in note 21.

Share based payments 

Employee Share Scheme 
Share based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Intec Employee Share Scheme. 

At the 2014 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved the Intec Employee Share Scheme (the Scheme). 
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 fair value of options granted under the Intec Employee Share Scheme is recognised as an employee benefit 
expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over 
the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. 

The fair value at grant date is determined using share 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.

Share based payments -  continued 

The fair value of the options granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions, but excludes the impact of 
any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting 
conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. 
At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become 
exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. 

Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share based payments reserve relating to those options is 
transferred to share capital and the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are 
credited to share capital. 

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

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

To the members of Intec Limited 

Report on the Financial Report 

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Intec Limited, which comprises the consolidated 
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of 
cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other 
explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and 
the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year. 

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report 

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the 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 financial report that 
gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the 
directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial 
Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. 

Auditor’s Responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit 
in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant 
ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the 
financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of 
the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk 
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial 
report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the 
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s 
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation 
of the financial report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 
audit opinion. 

Independence 

In conducting our audit, 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 report.

(a) 

the financial report of Intec Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: 

(i) 

giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2016 and of 
its performance for the year ended on that date; and 

(ii)  complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and 

(b) 

the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 
1. 

Emphasis of Matter 

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(a) in the financial report, which indicates that the 
consolidated entity generated an operating loss after income tax of $458,130 (2015: $856,446) and net cash 
outflows from operations of $541,397 (2015: $1,081,085) in the year ended 30 June 2016. At 30 June 2016, 
the Group had net assets of $1,766,899 (2015: $2,243,129) and cash balances of $479,089 (2015: 
$926,394). These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(a) indicate the existence of a 
material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a 
going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its 
liabilities in the normal course of business. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 8 to 11 of the directors’ report for the year 
ended 30 June 2016. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of 
the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is 
to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with 
Australian Auditing Standards. 

Opinion 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Intec Limited for the year ended 30 June 2016 complies with 
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
