M FiTEC International Limited
Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa
(Registration number 2015/294800/06)
JSE Share Code: MFI ISIN: ZAE000209607
(“M-FiTEC” or “the Company”)
CONDENSED ABRIDGED AUDITED RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2016 AND NOTICE OF AGM
INTRODUCTION
The board of directors of M-FiTEC (“the Board”) has pleasure in submitting its abridged
report for the period from 19 August 2015 (date of incorporation) to 31 March 2016.
M-FiTEC was incorporated on 19 August 2015, and raised R76.2 million from its founders
and by way of a private placing of ordinary shares. The JSE Limited (“the JSE”) granted
M-FiTEC a listing as a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (“SPAC”), by way of
introduction of the entire issued ordinary share capital of the Company on the
Alternative Exchange (“AltX”) with effect from the commencement of trade on
17 November 2015.
A SPAC is established to facilitate the primary capital raising process to enable the
acquisition of Viable Assets as envisaged in the Listings Requirements of the JSE. Until
such Viable Assets are acquired, the only material asset of a SPAC is the cash which it
holds following the issue of shares. That cash is held in escrow and invested in bank
deposits for the protection of the Company’s shareholders. If the acquisition of a Viable
Asset is not completed within a period of 24 months from the date on which the SPAC
was listed or such later date as the JSE may permit, the SPAC is required to return the
subscription funds initially invested to shareholders, plus accrued interest, less certain
permissible expenses and taxation.
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
The Company did not acquire a Viable Asset during the period under review.
Basic earnings per share of 2.48 cents consists of interest received from the cash
investment, less operating expenses and taxation.
As advised in the Prelisting Statement, the Company is pursuing investments in Viable
Assets, and has engaged with potential vendors of businesses that meet the Company’s
acquisition criteria. At the date hereof, discussions are continuing, and no binding
agreements have been entered into.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Incorporation
The Company was incorporated on 19 August 2015. Accordingly, this is the first
publication of financial results, and no comparative information is relevant.
2. Basis of preparation
The condensed audited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’), IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting
Standards, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices
Committee, the Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting
Standards Council, the South African Companies Act, (Act 71 of 2008), as amended and
the Listings Requirements of the JSE. The accounting policies and methods of
computation used in the preparation of this report are consistent with those applied in
the annual financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2016.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies
applicable to a going concern.
5. Events after the reporting period
Save for the “Cautionary Announcement”, which details are disclosed in note 9 below,
the Board is not aware of any material events arising since the end of the financial year
to the date of publication of these financial results.
6. Dividends
No dividend was declared during the period under review.
7. Preparation and audit
The accompanying condensed financial statements, prepared by Mr. KW Boyers
(CA(SA)), Chief Financial Officer, have been extracted from the audited financial
statements but have not themselves been audited. Grant Thornton Chartered
Accountants (SA), Johannesburg Partnership, the Company’s independent auditors, have
audited the financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2016 and have issued an
unqualified audit opinion. The auditor’s report does not necessarily report on all of the
information contained in this announcement/financial results. Shareholders are
therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the
auditor’s engagement they should obtain a copy of the auditor’s report together with the
accompanying financial information from the Company’s registered office or its website.
The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of the abridged report and that
the financial information has been correctly extracted from the underlying annual
financial statements. The Company has not prepared a full integrated annual report in
accordance with the recommendations of the King Code on Corporate Governance as
until such time as Viable Assets are acquired, no reportable operations exist.
8. Changes to the Board
Mr Marius Oberholzer was appointed as a non-executive director on 9th December 2015.
