Condensed Abridged Audited Results for the Period Ended 28 February 2017 and Notice of AGM
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
28 FEBRUARY 2017 AND NOTICE OF AGM
INTRODUCTION
The board of directors of M-FiTEC (“the Board”) has pleasure in submitting its abridged
report for the eleven month period from 1 April 2016 to 28 February 2017.
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.
ACQUISITION OF VIABLE ASSETS
The Board advised shareholders on 15 March 2017 that M-FiTEC has entered into sale of
shares agreements with the shareholders of each of three groups that collectively
comprise the Viable Asset Acquisition.
M-FiTEC has entered into agreements with the shareholders of each of:
- WIZZIT Group Proprietary Limited and WIZZIT Payments Proprietary Limited
(collectively “WIZZIT”) for the acquisition of 87.01% of the issued share capital;
- Wavelengths 202 Proprietary Limited and Magix Security Proprietary Limited
(collectively “Magix”) for the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital;
and
- Finteq Africa Proprietary Limited (“Finteq Africa”) and its wholly owned
subsidiary Finteq Proprietary Limited (“Finteq”) (collectively “Finteq Group”)
for the acquisition of 100% and 70% respectively of the issued share capital.
Shareholders are referred to the more detailed announcement published on 15 March
2017, and to the further announcement dated 25 May 2017 advising that the circular in
respect of the Viable Assets Acquisition is currently being prepared and, subject to the
approval of the JSE, is expected to be distributed to M-FiTEC shareholders on or about
23 June 2017.

The Company was incorporated on 19 August 2015. Accordingly, the comparative

the year end of the Company was changed to February, and thus these results cover the
eleven month period to 28 February 2017.
2. Basis of preparation
The condensed audited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’), 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.

converted once off on a one-for-one basis into, and be re-designated as, an ordinary
share.
4. Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies
applicable to a going concern.
5. Events after the reporting period
The only material event after the reporting period has been the conclusion of
agreements for the acquisition of Viable Assets, as more fully explained above.
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 Johannesburg
Partnership, the Company’s independent auditor, has audited the financial statements
for the period ended 28 February 2017 and has 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 statements 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
There were no changes in the composition of the Board during the period.
9. Notice of Annual General Meeting
Notice is hereby given that the second Annual General Meeting of shareholders of
M-FiTEC will be held at 10h00 on 21 July 2017 at the Company’s registered office
situated at Augusta, Inanda Greens, 54 Wierda Road, Sandton, for the purpose of
considering, and, if deemed fit, passing, with or without modification, the resolutions set
out in the notice of Annual General Meeting which is contained in the annual financial
statements.
The Board has determined that, in terms of section 62(3)(a), as read with section 59 of
the Companies Act, the record date for the purposes of determining which shareholders
of the Company are entitled to participate in and vote at the Annual General Meeting is
