Unaudited Condensed Results for the Six Months Ended 30 September 2016

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”)


UNAUDITED CONDENSED RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2016

INTRODUCTION

The board of directors of M-FiTEC (“the Board”) has pleasure in submitting its interim
report for the six months ended 30 September 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

During this half year period, the Company has engaged a number of entities with a view
to a potential acquisition. Some of these have reached an advanced stage, and some
due diligence procedures have been carried out. Due to the advanced nature of some of
the discussions, a cautionary announcement was made to shareholders on 29 June 2016
advising that negotiations for the acquisition of Viable Assets were in progress. The
cautionary notice has been extended, most recently on 15 December 2016, but as yet no
agreements have been reached and shareholders are advised to continue to exercise
caution when dealing in the Company’s securities until a further announcement is made.

Basic earnings per share of 11.3 cents consists of interest received from the cash
investment, less operating expenses and taxation. The net asset value of the ordinary
shares in issue is 978.87 cents per share.
