Removed
The Company believes that transitioning from a fossil fuel economy to a renewable and chemical free economy is the solution to many health problems the world is facing presently.
Removed
To that end, the Company is committed to working with suppliers and customers to eliminate chemicals from the edible oil production and manufacturing systems to supply quality products such as non-GMO oilseeds and organic and non-organic food-grade oils to customers globally.
Removed
Over the past 20 years, Australian Oilseeds Investments Pty Ltd., an Australian proprietary company (“AOI”) has grown to be the largest cold pressing oil plant in Australia, pressing strictly GMO free conventional and organic oilseeds.
Removed
Grower Supply Contracts and Farming Methods To source the agricultural products for its business, the Company has a grower-supply contract base for oilseeds made up of local and regional farmers and shareholders in New South Wales committed to sustainable, renewable and organic farming.
Removed
The Company’s farmers employ regenerative farming practices such as conservative tillage and minimal use of chemicals and fertilizer to grow produce with no residue and increase carbon sequestration, thereby pulling more carbon from the atmosphere and sequestering higher carbon amounts in the soil. 5 These grower-supply contracts (known universally as contract farming) provide for oilseeds on a fixed-acre or hectare-contract basis as well as standard tonnage contracts for oil seeds.
Removed
Contract farming is an agreement between farmers and processing firms for the production and supply of agricultural products under forward agreements, frequently at predetermined prices.
Removed
The basis of such production arrangements is a commitment on the part of the farmer to provide a specific commodity in quantities and at quality standards determined by the purchaser and a commitment on the part of the purchaser to support the farmer’s production and to purchase the commodity at harvest.
Removed
After the Company determines with whom to contract for its oilseeds, the Company and the counterparty agree upon one or more contracts. The contracts contain information about the plot of land (referred to as the “block”) on which the product is grown. For each growing period, the grower-supply contract associates a harvest with a block.
Removed
The harvest identifies the product and growing period. Because a contract can span several growing periods, a block might have several harvests associated with it. The Company contracts to purchase all of the output from a particular block.
Removed
Typically, the contract manager manages the harvests at the block level because most harvests for a block have similar characteristics, such as price. A grower-supply contract is a contract associated with a block and harvest.
Removed
In addition to the Company’s grower-supply contracts with local and regional farmers and shareholders in New South Wales, Energreen Nutrition Australia Pty Ltd. provides supply-chain support for raw materials to the Company as an additional source of oilseeds supply.
Removed
In addition, the Company has an exclusive supply agreement for canola seed with Good Earth Growers, as a strategy partner who has committed to reduce chemical residual in farming operation.
Removed
Good Earth Growers was the first grain producer in Australia to be certified “ Chemical Free Farmers. ” 1 The Company’s is committed to working only with farmers and growers who are committed to sustainable, renewable and organic farming methods, which stand in contrast to the manner that the majority of our food supply is grown, which traditional agriculture systems, we believe, are degenerative, damaging the planet’s ecosystem at an alarming rate through loss of topsoil, loss of biodiversity, desertification, habitat destruction, and air and water pollution; thus, degenerative agriculture is also a large contributor to climate change. 2 The Company believes that farming must be performed in a more nature-friendly, biodiversity-supporting manner.
Removed
The non-GMO chemical free oilseeds are then cold pressed, filtered and bottled by the Company into organic and non-organic food-grade oils, vegetable protein meals and supplements in stock feed rations.
Removed
Cold pressing involves pressing and grinding the oilseeds without the use of chemicals and solvents at temperatures below 50 degrees Celsius, which results in oil and meals that retain nutritional values, antioxidants and healthy omega fatty acids. 3 The Company works with various marketers and distributors to sell its products in the Australian retail and selected export markets.

Any one of these risks and uncertainties has the potential to cause material adverse effects on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results which could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements expressed by us and a significant decrease in the value of our Ordinary Shares and warrants.
Added
Refer to “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Risks Related to our Ordinary Shares Our stock price may be volatile, and purchasers of our Ordinary Shares could incur substantial losses.
Added
The stock market in general has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to operating performance of individual companies, particularly following a public offering of a company with a small public float. There is the potential for rapid and substantial price volatility of our Ordinary Shares.
Added
These broad market factors may seriously harm the market price of our Ordinary Shares, regardless of our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, which may make it difficult for investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares. We are currently listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”).
Added
If we are unable to maintain listing of our securities on Nasdaq or any stock exchange, our stock price could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired and it may be more difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities.
Added
Although our Ordinary Shares are currently listed on Nasdaq, we may not be able to continue to meet the exchange’s minimum listing requirements or those of any other national exchange.
Added
If we are unable to maintain a listing on Nasdaq or if a liquid market for our Ordinary Shares does not develop or is sustained, our Ordinary Shares may remain thinly traded.
Added
As previously reported on Form 6-K, on August 28, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff of Nasdaq notifying the Company that based on the closing bid price of the Company for the period for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2) (the “Rules”) requirement that listed securities maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share.
Added
Nasdaq provided the Company with 180 calendar days compliance period, or until February 24, 2025, in which to regain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirement.
Added
On January 3, 2025, Nasdaq sent a letter to the Company advising that Nasdaq has determined that for the prior 15 consecutive business days, from December 11, 2024 to January 2, 2025, the closing bid price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares has been at $1.00 per share or greater.
Added
Accordingly, the Company regained compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), and this matter was closed. 3 As previously reported, on December 6, 2024, the Company received a notification letter (the “Letter”) from Nasdaq notifying the Company that its amount of shareholders’ equity has fallen below the $10,000,000 required minimum for continued listing as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1)(A).
Added
The Company’s shareholders’ equity as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2024 was AUD $907,569. Based on the currency conversion rate from AUD to USD as of June 30, 2024, the shareholders’ equity was approximately $605,258.
Added
In accordance with Nasdaq rules and as stated in the Letter, the Company had until January 21, 2025 (45 calendar days from the date of the Letter) to submit a plan to regain compliance. On January 20, 2025, the Company submitted its plan of compliance which it supplemented on January 28, 2025.
Added
On February 18, 2025, based on the Company’s submission, the Nasdaq Staff determined to grant the Company an extension of time to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1)(A) to May 30, 2025.
Added
As previously reported, on May 27, 2025, the Company received a written notice (the “Bid Price Notice”) from Nasdaq indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the $1.00 Minimum Bid Price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq.
Added
The Nasdaq Listing Rules require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share and, based upon the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets this requirement.
Added
The Bid Price Notice indicated that the Company will be provided 180 calendar days to November 24, 2025 in which to regain compliance.
Added
If at any time during this period the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Nasdaq Staff will provide the Company with a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.
Added
In the event the Company does not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the 180 calendar day period, the Nasdaq Staff will provide the Company with written notification that its securities are subject to delisting, which the Company may appeal to a Hearings Panel.
Added
Alternatively, if the Company fails to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the 180 calendar day period, but meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all of the other applicable standards for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price, and provides written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, then the Company may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2).
Added
As previously reported, on May 27, 2025, the Company received written notice (the “Nasdaq Letter”) from Nasdaq indicating that the Company was delinquent in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-Q”).
Added
The Company previously filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2025, disclosing that it was unable to file the Form 10-Q within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense.
Added
The Nasdaq Letter provided that under Nasdaq rules, the Company had 60 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance with respect to the Delinquent Filing.
Added
The Company filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025 three days later on May 30, 2025, thereby regaining compliance with its filing obligation, which eliminated the need for the Company to submit a formal plan to regain compliance.
Added
On July 30, 2025, the Company held extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, and it was resolved, pursuant to Section 60 of the Companies Act (2025 Revision) (the “Companies Act”), Article 62 of the Company’s articles of association, the Company’s share capital be amended to effect a reverse share split (the “Reverse Share Split”) of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, by a ratio in the range of 1 for 2 to 1 for 8, to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) following the Extraordinary General Meeting. 4 As previously reported, on August 22, 2025, Nasdaq granted the Company’s request for continued listing subject to company demonstration of compliance with equity rule as per the company’s financial statements to be filed on or before September 30, 2025.
Added
As previously disclosed on June 10, 2025, the Company announced that it had received notification from Nasdaq regarding its failure to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A) (the “Equity Rule”). The Company subsequently requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which was held on July 22, 2025.
Added
The Company presented to the Panel its plan to achieve compliance with applicable Nasdaq listing criteria and requested an extension of time to do so. The Panel granted the Company an extension to regain compliance with continued listing requirements and demonstrate long-term compliance with the Equity Rule (which requires listed issuers to maintain minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million).
Added
Specifically, the Panel has agreed to provide the Company until September 30, 2025 to regain compliance with the Equity Rule and to allow the continued listing of the Company’s ordinary shares and warrants on The Nasdaq Stock Market through such date, subject to the Company’s compliance with the Equity Rule on or prior to such date.
Added
The Company states that as of the hearing date on July 22, 2025, it had $2.6 million in shareholder equity. The Company plans to maintain this minimum equity value by converting additional debt and increasing revenues. As required by The Nasdaq Stock Market’s rules, should the Company regain compliance, it will be subject to a one-year panel monitor.
Added
Although the Company will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with listing requirements, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with all Nasdaq continued listing requirement. The listing rules of Nasdaq require listing issuers to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed on its exchange.
Added
If, for any reason, we should fail to maintain compliance with these listing standards and Nasdaq should delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our shareholders: ● the liquidity of our Ordinary Shares; ● the market price of our Ordinary Shares; ● our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations; ● the number of institutional and general investors that will consider investing in our Ordinary Shares; ● the number of investors in general that will consider investing in our Ordinary Shares; ● the number of market makers in our Ordinary Shares; ● the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our Ordinary Shares; and ● the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in our Ordinary Shares.
Added
Our principal shareholders will continue to have significant influence over the election of our board of directors and approval of any significant corporate actions, including any sale of the Company. Our founders, executive officers, directors, and other principal shareholders, in the aggregate, beneficially own a majority of our outstanding shares.
Added
These shareholders currently have, and likely will continue to have, significant influence with respect to the election of our board of directors and approval or disapproval of all significant corporate actions.
Added
The concentrated voting power of these shareholders could have the effect of delaying or preventing an acquisition of the Company or another significant corporate transaction. 5 We could be subject to securities class action litigation. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following a decline in the market price of their securities.
Added
In 2020, 22% of securities class action litigation filings were against defendants in the health technology and services sector, which accounted for 22% of new filings. If we face such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.
Added
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for the shares and trading volume could decline. The trading market for our Ordinary Shares will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business.
Added
If research analysts do not establish and maintain adequate research coverage or if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrades our Ordinary Shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our Ordinary Shares would likely decline.
Added
If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for our Ordinary Shares to decline.
Added
We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and you must rely on price appreciation of your Ordinary Shares for return on your investment. We have paid no cash dividends on any class of our stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the near term.
Added
For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their shares after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur.
Added
Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our shares. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant.
Added
Future sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Ordinary Shares, either by us or by our existing shareholders, or the possibility that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.
Added
Future sales in the public market of our Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Ordinary Shares, shares held by our existing shareholders or shares issued upon the exercise of our outstanding shares options or warrants, or the perception by the market that these sales could occur, could lower the market price of our Ordinary Shares or make it difficult for us to raise additional capital.
Added
We are an “emerging growth company,” and the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our Ordinary Shares less attractive to investors. We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“the JOBS Act”).
Added
For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Added
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.
Added
In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
Added
We may elect not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, may be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our Ordinary Shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions.
Added
If some investors find our Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Ordinary Shares and our share price may be more volatile. 6 Anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws as well as provisions of Cayman Act, could impair a takeover attempt.
Added
Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the Cayman Act contain provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors.
Added
Our corporate governance documents include provisions: ● authorizing “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued by our board of directors without shareholder approval and may contain voting, liquidation, dividend, and other rights superior to our Ordinary Shares; ● limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers; ● limiting the ability of our shareholders to call and bring business before special meetings; ● requiring advance notice of shareholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our shareholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors; ● controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and shareholder meetings; and ● providing our board of directors with the express power to postpone previously scheduled annual meetings and to cancel previously scheduled special meetings.
Added
These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management. We are also subject to provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that include language that inhibits a takeover of the Company.
Added
This change could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for the Company’s securities and could entrench management.
Added
Any provision of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association or Cayman Islands law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our shareholders to receive a premium for their Ordinary Shares and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Ordinary Shares.
Added
Risks Related to the Company and our Business We are significantly dependent on the revenues from the sale of our products and, therefore, our results of operations could be negatively impacted if we are unable to sell a sufficient number of products at satisfactory margins. We sell cold pressed vegetable oils and vegetable protein meals extracted from oil seeds.
Added
For fiscal years June 30, 2025 and 2024, we derived approximately 74% and 73%, respectively, of our total revenue from the sale of cold pressed vegetable oils with the balance from the sale of vegetable protein meals extracted from oil seeds.
Added
The Company processes and sells high quality protein meal for the agricultural market (including the feedstock industry) and is leveraging this by-product to expand into the plant-based meats and proteins markets. Presently, the Cootamundra facility is capable of crushing canola, safflower and sunflower seeds with a current processing capacity of more than 70,000 metric tons per annum.
Added
Edible oils and protein meal serve as the largest outlet for oilseed derivative products. The food industry demands healthy oils for cooking and dining. A key example being Canola Oilseed — in which Australia produces over 15-20% of the global Canola seed trade.
Added
Australian oilseed production, due to relative proximity and high-quality output, are well-placed to supply the rapidly expanding consumer export markets of the Asia-Pacific as well as satisfy increased domestic demands. 7 Our dependence on the market for oil seeds for pressing and extraction makes us particularly vulnerable to negative market changes that may occur in these product lines.
Added
In particular, if demand for oil seeds such as olives, canola seeds and sunflower seeds increase or if industry demand exceeds supply, the price of oil seeds will be driven upward and our product margins will be negatively impacted, which would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We lack product and business diversification.
Added
Accordingly, our future revenues and earnings are more susceptible to fluctuations than a more diversified company. Our current primary business activities focus on agriculturally derived products. Because our focus is limited in this way, any risk affecting the agricultural industry could disproportionately affect our business.
Added
Our lack of product and business diversification could inhibit the opportunities for growth of our business, revenues and profits. We are dependent on contracts with local and regional farmers for oilseeds and loss of these contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and revenues.
Added
We have a grower contract base for oil seeds made up of local and regional farmers and shareholders. These contracts provide oilseeds on a fixed acre or hectare contract basis as well as standard tonnage contracts for oil seeds.
Added
For example, farmers in Cootamundra, New South Wales (“NSW”) have been growing and supplying us with genetically modified organism (“GMO”) free harvested canola for over ten years. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to renew these contracts or find adequate replacements for these contracts should they expire.
Added
Likewise, while we have long-standing contracts and relationships with our local and regional farmers and shareholders, who have provided qualified GMO free harvested oil seeds in the past, there can be no assurance that they will continue to produce and provide oil seeds of the same quality or at the same amounts going forward.
Added
If the sales performance of any supplier declines or if any of our suppliers terminates the cooperation with us or even starts to cooperate with any of our competitors, or if there is any modification as to the sales and purchase terms entered into by and between the Company and any of our key local and regional farmers and shareholders, our business, financial condition and revenue would be seriously impacted.
Added
Furthermore, we rely on a concentration of certain suppliers for the bulk of our oilseeds.
Added
If the sales performance of any of these suppliers, and particularly our top suppliers, declines or if any of these suppliers terminates the cooperation with us, or if there is any modification as to the sales and purchase terms entered into with these suppliers, our business, financial condition and revenue would be seriously impacted.
Added
We are dependent on a material concentration of revenue from a small group of customers and the impact on the loss of any of these customer could have an adverse impact on cash flows from operations, revenue and profitability of company Historically, the Company has been dependent on a material concentration of revenue from a small group of customers and the impact on the loss of any of these customer could have an adverse impact on cash flows from operations, revenue and profitability.
Added
There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to renew these contracts with our customers at higher margins or that we will source new additional customers with better margins should these legacy customer contracts not be renewed or if the sales volumes decline under the legacy contracts.

Performance Graph We are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, and therefore are not required to provide the information required by paragraph (e) of Item 201 of Regulation S-K.
Added
The primary driver for the revenue increase in retail oils for the year ended June 30, 2025 compared to the previous year was due to the Company supply contracts with Costco, Woolworths and Coles, which are majority of Australia’s largest supermarket chains.

Added
Last, AUD$98,754 was paid for the finance lease.” Contractual Obligations and Commitments and Liquidity Outlook Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate cashflows from operations and draw down additional long-term debt from the senior debt provider, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, who has provided a total facility loan of AUD$8,000,000 with unused facilities as at 30 June 2025 of AUD$6,780,934 and draw down an additional US$6 million of redeemable debentures from the existing PIPE investors or the executed US$50 million equity line of credit (ELOC) once the Company lodges the registration statement of the ELOC.
Added
The Company has determined that the Company’s sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet the Company’s financing requirements for the one year period from the issuance of its consolidated financial statements but there can be no assurance these sources are sufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements in the long term.
Added
There can be no assurance that the steps management is taking will be successful.
Added
Our future capital requirements will also depend on additional factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support research and development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced product and service offerings, and the cost of any future acquisitions of technology or businesses.
Added
In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may be unable to raise the funds on acceptable terms, if at all.
Added
Material Accounting Policies and Estimates Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and Interpretations (collectively “IFRS Accounting Standards”).
Added
In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that can have a significant impact on our reported revenue, results of operations, and net income or loss, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our balance sheet during and as of the reporting periods.
Added
These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary because future events and their effects on our results and the value of our assets cannot be determined with certainty and are based on our historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Added
These estimates may change as new events occur or additional information is obtained, and we may periodically be faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and may not be known for a prolonged period of time. Because the use of estimates is inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Added
We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with the following material accounting policies involve significant judgment and thus have the most significant potential impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenue Recognition We generate revenue from the sale of products and services.
Added
A description of our revenue recognition policies is included in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 20-F. 28 Although most of our sales agreements contain standard terms and conditions, certain agreements contain multiple performance obligations or non-standard terms and conditions.
Added
For customer contracts that contain more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction consideration to each performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation within the contract.
Added
We rely on either observable standalone sales or an expected cost plus a margin approach to determine the standalone selling price of offerings, depending on the nature of the performance obligation.
Added
As we further discuss in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 20-F, for contracts with customers entered into during fiscal years 2025 and 2024, revenue from the sales of our products increased by AUD$7.9 million or 23.6% to AUD$41.7 million for the twelve-month period ended on June 30, 2025 compared to AUD$33.7 million for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to increased sales to our existing customers and new customers secured during the year.
Added
Share-based payments Following the Business Combination, the Company has authorized 555,000,000 shares including 500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, 50,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, and 5,000,000 Preference Shares, each of par value $0.0001 per share. In addition, the Company has three classes of warrants ( i.e. , Public Warrants, Private Warrants and PIPE Warrants) issued and outstanding.
Added
The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
Added
Warrant transactions PIPE Warrants to purchase our Ordinary Shares are accounted for as liability instruments based on the terms of the warrant agreements. The warrants issued by us are accounted for as liability instruments under IFRS Accounting Standards 9 due to the rights of the grantee to require cash settlement.
Added
Private Warrants and Representative Warrants to purchase units accounted for as liability instruments represent the warrants issued to significant shareholders and related parties. Penny Warrants are a contingently issuable instrument to issue the Company’s shares and are accounted for as a financial liability.
Added
Public Warrants are accounted for as equity instruments due to our ability to settle the warrants through the issuance of units.
Added
In order to calculate warrant charges, we used the Monte Carlo simulations, which required key inputs including volatility and risk-free interest rate and certain unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, requiring us to develop our own assumptions.
Added
We estimated the fair value of unvested warrants, considered to be probable to be vesting, at the time of issue. Based on that estimated fair value, we determined warrant charges, which were recorded as a reduction of the transaction price.
Added
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of June 30, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Instruction 8 to Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K.
Added
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements See Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 20-F for a description of recently adopted accounting standards. 29 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements See Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 20-F for a description of certain recently issued accounting standards which may impact our financial statements in future reporting periods.
Added
Interest Rate Sensitivity We had cash and cash equivalents totaling AUD$2,309,303 as of June 30, 2025 (2024: AUD$514,140). Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and investments with original maturities of three months or less, are stated at cost, and approximate fair value.
Added
Our investment policy and strategy are focused on preservation of capital, supporting our liquidity requirements, and delivering competitive returns subject to prevailing market conditions. We were not exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rates given the liquidity of the cash and investments with original maturity of three months.
Added
Foreign Currency Risk The Company does not have significant exposure in currency other than reporting currency, except one of non-trading subsidiary have legacy costs, promissory notes and convertibles notes denominated in USD. Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
Added
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are generally held with large financial institutions. Although the Company’s deposits may exceed federally insured limits, the financial institutions that the Company uses have high investment-grade credit ratings and, as a result, the Company believes that, as of June 30, 2025, its risk relating to deposits exceeding federally insured limits was not significant.
Added
The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts, or other hedging arrangements. The Company believes its credit policies are prudent and reflect normal industry terms and business risk.
Added
The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers and generally requires payment from zero to 90 days from the invoice date with typical terms of 30 days.

Last, AUD$98,754 was paid for the finance lease.” Non-IFRS Financial Measure In addition to providing financial measurements based on IFRS, we provide an additional financial metric that is not prepared in accordance with IFRS, or non-IFRS financial measure.
Removed
We use this non-IFRS financial measure, in addition to IFRS financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes, to measure executive compensation, and to evaluate our financial performance.
Removed
This non-IFRS financial measure is Adjusted EBITDA, as discussed below. 46 We believe that this non-IFRS financial measure reflects our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business, as it facilitates comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.
Removed
We also believe that this non-IFRS financial measure enables investors to evaluate our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as we do. This non-IFRS financial measure may exclude expenses and gains that may be unusual in nature, infrequent, or not reflective of our ongoing operating results.
Removed
The non-IFRS financial measure does not replace the presentation of our IFRS financial measures and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with IFRS.
Removed
We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends. Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items that we do not consider to be part of our core operations.
Removed
We define Adjusted EBITDA as IFRS net loss excluding the following items: interest income; income taxes; depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets; unit and stock-based compensation; Business Combination transaction expenses; and other non-recurring items that may arise from time to time.
Removed
The non-IFRS adjustments, and our basis for excluding them from our non-IFRS financial measure, are outlined below: ● Unit and Stock-based compensation – Although unit and stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation paid to our employees, the grant date fair value varies based on the derived stock price at the time of grant, varying valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of award types.
Removed
This makes the comparison of our current financial results to previous and future periods difficult to interpret; therefore, we believe it is useful to exclude unit and stock-based compensation from our non-IFRS financial measures to highlight the performance of our business and to be consistent with the way many investors evaluate our performance and compare our operating results to peer companies. ● Business Combination transaction expenses – Business Combination transaction expenses represent the expenses incurred solely related to the Business Combination, which we completed on March 21, 2024.
Removed
It primarily includes investment banker fees, legal fees, professional fees for accountants, transaction fees, advisory fees, due diligence costs, certain other professional fees, and other direct costs associated with strategic activities.
