A Message from our Chairman
==> picture [142 x 143] intentionally omitted <==
Dear Shareholders,
This year has been a pivotal one for Adslot. As a portfolio of businesses, we have undergone significant transformation, emerging as a leaner, more focused organization with a renewed sense of purpose and direction. FY25 has not been without its challenges, but I am pleased to report that we are in a stronger position than we were 12 months ago.
Adslot now comprises two high-growth ad-tech businesses, and two non-core ad sector technology business units that are poised to drive our future success. Our growth businesses have achieved remarkable milestones this year, each securing transformative, company-making transactions. The StoreFront business signed a groundbreaking partnership with Viber, enabling us to provide self-service advertising solutions across 34 countries, with further global rollouts in progress. Meanwhile, our Open Marketplace business has partnered with Goldvertise to provide new solutions for premium CTV markets, leveraging premium inventory from Vevo and other publishers. These transactions validate our strategic vision and position us to capture a growing share of the self-service advertising market.
In addition to these achievements, we successfully completed a capital raise after year end, further strengthening our balance sheet and enabling us to accelerate execution of our strategic initiatives. I am delighted to welcome our new shareholders onto the register and thank both new and existing investors for their trust and confidence in Adslot's potential.
The changes we have implemented over the past year have been sweeping. We have repriced key contracts, streamlined operations, and focused resources on areas of highest potential. These efforts, combined with disciplined cost management, have reduced cash burn and brought us closer to achieving breakeven. While there remains much to do, the foundations we have laid this year provide a platform for sustainable growth.
I want to express my deep gratitude to our staff, whose resilience and dedication have been instrumental in stabilizing our core business and advancing our strategic priorities. To our shareholders, both long-standing and new, thank you for your patience and continued faith in our vision. Your trust drives us to deliver on the potential of this business.
As we look to the future, we remain laserfocused on execution. There is no doubt that challenges remain, but our progress this year demonstrates our ability to adapt, innovate, and succeed in a rapidly evolving market. I am confident that the steps we have taken, and those we continue to take, will position Adslot as a leader in the self-service advertising landscape.
Sincerely,
Andrew Dyer

-
Licence Fees – generated primarily from Symphony , a market-leading workflow automation tool for Media Agencies.

Key business initiatives during the year included the:
-
Continued development of the German CTV market. In February 2025, the company signed an agreement with Goldvertise, one of the leading CTV publishers in Germany. Goldvertise sees the partnership with Adslot as a critical component to their strategic mission of trading more inventories directly. The companies are now collaborating to onboard demand commencing with 200 direct advertisers that were invited to the platform in early August, before extending the onboarding process to independent agencies and major agency groups.
-
Launch of the Publisher StoreFront strategy at the end of 2024 with a specific focus on global publishers, as well as major publishers in the USA, UK and Australian markets. Important wins include Rakuten Viber, a leading messaging app with over 1 billion users across 190+ countries, which is now in the process of activating its StoreFront in 34 countries and Hearst, the world's largest lifestyle publisher through major titles such as Cosmopolitan, Elle and Harper's Bazaar, which has recently activated its StoreFront in the UK, a strategically important market for the group globally.

In April 2024, the Company announced amendments to its long standing agreement with international agency group, GroupM, for the provision of the standalone Symphony workflow management solution. The amendments included the removal of dedicated development resources which were funded by GroupM and the removal of the Symphony platform from three markets: Vietnam, India and the Philippines. These changes have resulted in a 45% reduction in licence fees in FY2025. The Company implemented cost reductions which offset some of the revenue reductions.
In October 2024, the Company announced the successful execution of a two-year extension to its Symphony contract with GroupM. The renewed contract includes a 45% increase to monthly revenue from September 2024 across 8 markets in APAC and EMEA.
As a result of these contract amendments, GroupM licence fees are currently 52% below the revenue being achieved at the same time in FY2024.

Services
Services revenue, including Webfirm and custom development work for Symphony , Adslot Media & Adslot StoreFront customers was $1.5 million in FY2025, a $0.05 million decrease on the previous year (FY2024: $1.5 million).
Webfirm revenue for FY2025 was $1.4 million, a $0.08 million decrease on the previous year. (FY2024: $1.5 million).
Cost Management
Total operating costs of $9.5 million for FY2025 represented a 29% decrease in costs (FY2024: $13.5 million). Total operating costs are derived by adding back non-cash and non-operating expenses to Total expenses:
| Total expenses Depreciation and amortisation expenses Interest Expenses Impairment – Right of use asset - Melbourne Impairment – Intangible assets Capitalised wages (i) R&D grants offsetting wages (ii) Total operating costs |
2025 2024 $ $ 9,327,352 19,251,583 (63,918) (2,921,250) (58,693) (69,544) - (401,355) - (5,085,751) - 2,694,560 306,808 - |

-
(i) In FY2025, wages were not capitalised (See Note 10). In FY2024, $2,694,560 of wages were capitalised and these amounts have been added back in arriving at the comparative total operating costs for FY2024 to ensure consistency of presentation.
-
(ii) Since wages were not capitalised in FY2025, R&D grants were offset against wages expense. This amount is added back to ensure consistency. In FY2024, when wages were capitalised, R&D grants were offset against capitalised wages.
As disclosed to the market in over the last 24 months, the Group has made pre-emptive steps to reduce cash outflows and extend its cash operating runway via a series of cost reduction initiatives. Cost reductions were targeted to ensure continued investment in strategic and revenue-generating product development, and no disruption to existing client relationships.

In FY2025, the total operating costs were $9.5 million (FY2024: $13.5 million), a decrease of 29% on prior year.
In September 2024, after a review of the US-market focused Br1dge project, the Group implemented a full phase-out of costs and ongoing investment for the project. This decision was driven by a range of factors including ongoing uncertain industry dynamics, medium-term delays with revenue performance and as part of the Strategic Review cost-outs initiatives. BrIdge, Inc was dissolved on 31 December 2024 with minimal remaining costs of $0.4 million incurred in FY2025. Excluding Br1dge, operating costs decreased by 7% from FY2024.
The costs savings largely represented headcount savings which were realised through natural attrition, redundancies and optimising internal workflows.
Capitalised development costs were $2.7 million in FY2024 and nil in FY2025 due to change in accounting treatment for development cost.
EBITDA
The Consolidated Group operating loss before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in FY2025 was $3.5 million a 54% improvement versus the $7.6 million loss in FY2024. The Consolidated Group operating loss after tax (NPAT) of $3.7 million is a 65% improvement to the prior year loss of $10.7 million.
The EBITDA and NPAT for FY2024 were substantially impacted by an impairment of intangible assets of $5.1 million and impairment of right of use asset of $0.4 million. Furthermore, in FY2024 development cost were capitalised. These amounts have been adjusted from the FY2024 results to reflect underlying performance of the business.
The Consolidated Group operating loss before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in FY2025 was $3.5 million a 28% improvement versus the $4.8 million adjusted EBITDA loss in FY2024. The Consolidated Group operating loss after tax (NPAT) of $3.7 million is a 53% improvement to the prior year adjusted NPAT loss of $7.9 million.
Cash Management
Net cash outflows from operating activities for FY2025 were $3.2 million, an increase of $2.6 million compared to FY2024 $0.7 million. This was primarily driven by a reduction in customer receipts.
Total R&D incentives received in FY2025 was $0.9 million which was recorded across operating activities ($0.2 million) and investing activities ($0.7 million).
During FY2025, the Company raised $1.5 million (after costs) from a capital raise announced on 17 June 2024, comprising:
-
The Institutional Entitlement Offer was concluded in FY2024, raising $0.5 million before costs, with 525 million fully paid ordinary shares issued.
-
On 15 July 2024, the Company successfully completed the Retail Entitlement Offer of $1.0 million before costs for the issue of 952 million ordinary shares.
-
The Entitlement Offer was finalised on 7 October 2024, raising an additional $0.5 million with the issue of 340 million new shares on 8 October 2024 from new and existing shareholders and 200 million new shares from related parties, which was later approved at the November 2024 Annual General Meeting.
Cash as at 30 June 2025 was $1.5 million (FY2024: $3.1 million).

Matters Subsequent to the End of the Financial Year
On 7 August 2025, the Company announced that it has received firm commitments to raise $989,000 (before transaction costs) from sophisticated and professional investors. The funds were raised through the issue of secured convertible notes and equity securities. The Company issued $739,000 in secured convertible notes to sophisticated professional investors. The notes are convertible into shares at the election of the holder at any time before their maturity date. The conversion price is $0.001 per share and face value of each note is $1,000.00. The maturity date of the notes is thirty months after they are issued. Each note subscribed for will, subject to shareholder approval, entitle the noteholder to be issued with 333,333 attaching options in the Company.
In addition to the issue of the notes, the Company has received commitments from sophisticated and professional investors for $250,000 in ordinary shares. The Company agreed to issue 250,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at a price of $0.001 per share. These investors will be entitled (subject to shareholder approval being obtained) to one for one attaching option for each ordinary share subscribed. 225,000,000 shares were issued on 8 August 2025 and a further 25,000,000 shares are to be issued to a related party subject to shareholder approval.
On 13 August 2025, the Company issued 57,363,770 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.001 per ordinary share to the directors as part of Director Fees Plan pursuant to the approval at the 2024 Annual General Meeting on 6 September 2024. As per the plan the Company entered into agreements with its Board of Directors to pay their compensation in equity instead of cash to assist the pathway to breakeven. This issue relates to fees relating to quarter ended 30 June 2025.
On 14 August 2025, ASX granted the Company a waiver from Listing Rule 10.1 to the extent necessary to permit the Company to, without shareholder approval, extend the security interest in favour of holders of convertible notes issued on 8 August 2025. Under this approval, the Company extended the security interest to a substantial shareholder group. That was issued 374 convertible notes ($374,000).
On 18 August 2025, the Company advised to the market that it has received notice from REA Group Limited (REA) of REA's intention to terminate its long-standing arrangement with Adslot for the provision of advertising auction management software, effective December 2025. Adslot may provide some statement of work services for transitional services as part of the migration of data.

Indemnification and Insurance of Officers
The Group has during the financial year, in respect of each person who is or has been an officer of the Group or a related body Corporate, made a relevant agreement for indemnifying against a liability incurred as an officer, including costs and expenses in successfully defending legal proceedings.
Since the end of the financial year, the Group has paid premiums to insure all directors and officers of Adslot Ltd and the Adslot Group of companies, against costs incurred in defending any legal proceedings arising out of their conduct as a director and officer of the Group, other than for conduct involving a wilful breach of duty or a contravention of Sections 232 (5) or (6) of the Corporations Act 2011 , as permitted by section 241A (3) of the Corporations Act. Disclosure of the premium amount is prohibited by the insurance contract.
Proceedings on behalf of the Group
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Group, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Group is a party, for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for all or part of those proceedings.
No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of the Group with leave of the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001.
Auditor’s Independence Declaration
The auditor’s independence declaration for the year ended 30 June 2025 has been received and can be found on page 23 of the financial report. Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for nonaudit services provided during the year are outlined in Note 19 to the financial statements.
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in Note 19 to the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
-
all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
-
none of the services undermines the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 – Part 4A of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Section 5: Long Term Incentives (equity-based compensation)
Incentive Option Plan
At the November 2017 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved the creation of the Group’s Incentive Option Plan which enables the Board to offer eligible employees and directors the right to options which convert to fully paid ordinary shares upon exercise, subject to meeting certain vesting criteria. For current options in issue the only vesting criteria are service conditions. The Incentive Option Plan was approved by shareholders at the November 2023 Annual General Meeting.
The objective of the Incentive Option Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Group considers that the adoption of the Incentive Option Plan and the future issue of options under the Incentive Option Plan will provide selected employees and directors with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Group.
Adslot continually reviews its operations, performance and the broader market conditions to ensure that incentives offered to key executives are aligned with the growth of the Group and shareholder outcomes whilst ensuring it can attract and retain experienced talent in a competitive industry. Adslot continues to operate within a highly competitive employment environment for experienced people in the technology and software field.
No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on the receipt of the options. The options carry no voting rights. All options are subject to service periods which require the employees remain an employee or Director of the Group.
The following tables show grants and movements of share-based compensation to directors and senior management during the current financial year and the previous financial year:

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Summary of Material Accounting Policies
The financial report covers Adslot Ltd (‘the Company’) and controlled entities (‘the Group’). Adslot Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial report is for the financial year ended 30 June 2025 and is presented in Australian dollars.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are summarised below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented with the exception of the change in policy in relation to AASB 8 Operating Segments (Note 2). These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.
(a) New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations
The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new, revised or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
(b) Basis of preparation
This general-purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001.
Compliance with IFRS
Australian Accounting Standards include International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted in Australia. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of Adslot Ltd comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Adslot Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards 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 estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and associated assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
(c) Going concern
The Group incurred a net loss of $3.7 million during the full year ended 30 June 2025. Inflows from financing activities of $1.0 million, combined with the net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $2.6 million, resulted in net cash outflows of $1.6 million in FY2025.
Net cash inflows included the FY2024 R&D claim of $0.9 million which was received in November 2024. Cash flows from financing activities included funds raised through the capital raising program initiated at the end of FY2024 which continued into FY2025.
In August 2024, the Group implemented a turnaround plan with the aim to reduce cash burn and ultimately reaching cash flow breakeven. As a result of this exercise the operating cost was reduced by $4.0 million in FY2025 compared to FY2024. The Group is on track to achieve cash break even in FY2026.
As a result of these activities, cash at 30 June 2025 was $1.5 million (FY2024: $3.1 million).
Cash flow breakeven is predicated on generating sufficient revenue growth. A delay in expected growth in revenues, and/or a delay in payment of the FY2025 R&D claim, has the potential to create a cash flow risk to the Group which could affect its ability to pay its debts as and when they fall due, and to realise its assets in the normal course of business.
However, the Directors believe the Group will be able to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due for the following reasons:
-
the Group’s cash position of $1.5 million at 30 June 2025;
-
the Group finalised a capital raise of $1.0 million (before cost) in August 2025;
-
receipt of the FY2025 R&D claim of $0.5 million which is expected to be received in the first half of FY2026;
28
-
receipt of Symphony licence fees which are largely recurring and predictable despite being lower than the previous financial year;
-
Webfirm revenues and the associated receipts which are recurring in nature and have a stable track record;
-
receipt of Adslot licence fees up to December 2025, when the REA Group Limited (REA) contract ends;
-
• reduced cash outflows from already implemented cost management initiatives announced to the market and additional cost reductions planned to be implemented in December 2025; and
-
additional capital cash inflows given the Group has a proven track record of successfully raising capital from existing and new investors.
Accordingly, the Directors believe there exists a reasonable expectation that the Group can continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due, and the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.
(d) Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements comprise those of the Group, and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the financial year. The Group controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses between entities in the Group included in the financial statements have been eliminated in full. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Where an entity either began or ceased to be controlled during the year, the results are included only from the date control commenced or up to the date control ceased. The accounting policies adopted in preparing the financial statements have been consistently applied by entities in the Group.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment losses in the parent entity information in Note 24.
Foreign Currency Exchange
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the reporting date. Exchange differences are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they arise.
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the closing exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are charged/credited to other comprehensive income and recognised in the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in equity. On disposal of a foreign operation the cumulative translation difference recognised in equity are reclassified to profit or loss and recognised as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand and deposits at call which are readily convertible to cash and are not subject to significant risk of changes in value, net of bank overdrafts.
Cash held on behalf of Publishers represents the share of campaign fees held before releasing to Adslot Publishers
29
(f) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the remaining period of the underlying lease.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis for all plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes recognised on a prospective basis.
The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of asset and is recognised in profit or loss. The following depreciation rates are used for each class of depreciable asset:
Computer Equipment 33 – 40% per annum Plant & Equipment 20 – 33% per annum Leasehold Improvements 20 – 100% per annum
(g) Receivables
Trade receivables are initially measured at their transaction price if they do not contain a significant financing component. They are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable amounts not quoted in an active market. Trade accounts receivables are generally settled between 14 and 65 days and carried at amounts recoverable.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off. The Group makes use of AASB 9 simplified approach in accounting for trade receivables and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses. The amount of the expected credit loss is recognised in profit or loss. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account.
(h) Trade and other creditors – financial liabilities
Trade accounts payable and other creditors represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 45 days of recognition.
Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(i) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value (less transaction costs) and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest method.
(j) Finance costs
Finance costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred except where they are incurred in the construction of a qualifying asset in which case the finance costs are capitalised as part of the asset.
(k) Income tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.
30
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.
Tax consolidation legislation
Adslot Ltd and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. The head entity, Adslot Ltd, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right where the entity is subject to tax as part of the tax-consolidated group.
To the extent that it is not probable that taxable profit will be available in the foreseeable future against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised, the deferred tax assets of its own and its controlled entities are not recognised.
(l) Employee benefits
Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Short-term employee benefits are current liabilities included in employee benefits, measured at the undiscounted amount that the Group expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement. Annual leave is included in ‘provisions’. The Group does not discount the leave liability calculations as the Group expects all annual leave for all employees to be used wholly within 12 months of the end of reporting period.
Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the non-current provision for employee benefits and is measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.
Share-based compensation benefits
Equity-settled share-based payments with employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. The fair value at grant date is determined using an appropriate pricing model that takes 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 dividends yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based payments reserve) on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital while the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital.
31
(m) Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as an asset at the date that control is acquired (acquisition date). Goodwill is measured as the excess of the fair value of consideration paid over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the entity or operations acquired. Goodwill acquired in business combinations is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis. An impairment loss for goodwill is recognised immediately in profit or loss and is not reversed in a subsequent period.
Research and development expenditure
Research costs are expensed as incurred. An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is recognised only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the assets to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Any expenditure so capitalised is amortised over the period of expected benefits from the related project.
The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from development costs is tested for impairment annually when the asset is not yet available for use or more frequently when an indicator of impairment arises during the reporting period.
Intellectual property
The intellectual property relates to the platform technology, branding and domains acquired as a result of the acquisition of Adslot and Facilitate Digital businesses. Where the useful life is assessed as indefinite, assets are not amortised and the carrying value is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment. It is carried at cost less impairment losses. For those assets assessed as having a finite life, they are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. The expected accounting useful life of intellectual property relating to the Adslot and Facilitate Digital business is 4 to 5 years.
Domain name
Acquired domain names are accounted for at cost, useful life is assessed as indefinite and the assets are not amortised. The carrying value is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment. They are carried at cost less impairment losses.
Software
Internally developed software represents internally developed software platforms capitalised according to accounting standards. Software is assessed as having a finite life and is amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. The expected accounting useful life of software is 5 years.
The carrying value of the software is tested for impairment when an indicator of impairment arises during the reporting period.
(n) Leased assets and liabilities
In line with AASB 16 ‘Leases’, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the commencement of a lease. The right-of-use asset is recognised at an amount equal to the initial measurement of the lease liability, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs.
The lease liability is measured at the present value of future lease payments comprising; fixed lease payments less incentives, variable lease payments, residual guarantees payable, payment of purchase options where exercise is reasonably certain and any anticipated termination penalties. The lease payments are discounted at the rate implicit in the lease, or where not readily determinable, at the entity’s incremental borrowing rate.
For all new contracts, the Group considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as a contract or a part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To apply this definition, the Group assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations as follows:
-
the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Group;
-
the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the scope of the contract; and
32
- the Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Group assesses whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose’ the asset is used throughout the period of use.
The Group depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset or the end of the lease term. The Group also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist.
Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in in-substance fixed payments. When the liability is remeasured, the corresponding amount is reflected in the right-of-use asset.
(o) Goods and services tax
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:
-
i. Where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or
-
ii. For receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.
-
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.
(p) Revenue recognition
The Group derives revenue from trading technology and services. To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process:
-
Identifying the contract with a customer
-
Identifying the performance obligations
-
Determining the transaction price
-
Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
-
Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied
The Group often enters into transactions involving a range of the Group’s products and services. In all cases, the total transaction price for a contract is allocated amongst the various performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The transaction price for a contract excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time, when (or as) the Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised services to its customers.
The Group recognises contract liabilities for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations and reports these amounts as contract liabilities in the statement of financial position. Similarly, if the Group satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, the Group recognises either a contract asset or a receivable in its statement of financial position, depending on whether something other than the passage of time is required before the consideration is due.
Revenue recognised for the major business activities for each category as follows:
Revenue from Trading Technology
Revenue from Trading Technology - Licence Fees
Adslot and Symphony licence fees are derived by providing customers access to the Group’s technology platform. The fee is based on either annual contracted amounts, the number of users, a tier system based on historical volumes traded on the platform, and/or resources allocated. The contracts are ongoing but cancellable with defined notice periods. The Group is expected to maintain its performance obligations throughout the contracted period for the client to achieve the benefits of the platforms. As per AASB 15, revenue is recognised over time; since the promise to grant a licence as a performance obligation is satisfied over time. The client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit from the Group’s performance of providing access to the platforms.
Revenue from Trading Technology – Trading Fees
Adslot and Symphony trading fees are derived based on the transaction value transacted via Group’s technology platforms in a given period.
Adslot trading fee revenues are recognised over time. Only the portion of the media campaign that is retained by the Group for their services is recorded as revenue. This is typically a percentage of the total media transacted on the Adslot platform. Where media campaigns are realised over a period a time, the portion that extends beyond the reporting period is not taken up as revenue as the performance obligations have not been satisfied. Where the funds for these campaigns are prepaid by advertisers those amounts are treated as
33
contract liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. As the fees are usage-based revenues the revenue is recognised over time when the usage occurs and the performance obligations are satisfied. Funds collected or collectable from advertisers and due to be repaid to publisher clients are disclosed in the accounts as publisher creditors and categorised under Trade and other payables in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Symphony trading fees are charged to publishers for the use of the Symphony platform as a workflow solution. The fee is based on a percentage fee calculated from the total transacted value of campaigns. As per AASB 15, revenue is recognised over time when the usage occurs and the performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue from Trading Technology – StoreFront Fees
The Group has developed StoreFront , a specific solution within the Adslot Media platform that enables publishers to sell advertising inventory and audience data directly to their buyers in a controlled environment (single seller to many buyers). A key feature of the platform is the integrated credit card gateway, which streamlines payment processing and is particularly effective for managing a large number of smaller buyers.
Revenue from StoreFront is derived from two components:
-
Monthly Minimum SaaS Fees – These fixed fees provide clients with ongoing access to the platform. In accordance with AASB 15, revenue is recognised over time, as clients simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of access to the platform.
-
Transaction Based Fees – These fees are calculated as a percentage of the value of media traded through the platform. Consistent with the treatment of trading fees, revenue is recognised over time, when transactions occur and the performance obligations are satisfied through the ongoing provision of access and facilitation of trades. Variable consideration is included in revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.
Accordingly, both fixed and variable StoreFront fees are recognised over time, reflecting the continuous transfer of services to clients through platform access and transaction facilitation.
Revenue from Services
Service revenue is recognised at a point in time or over time based on when the performance obligations are met, and the customer can realise benefit from service received without further involvement from the Group. A one-off Symphony activation fee is charged to customers when new markets are activated, to cover work required to deploy Symphony in a new market. The work typically involves (but not limited to):
-
in-country workshops to establish current media buying and business processes,
-
information gathering to identify country specific product requirements,
-
user training, and
-
account set-up.
Activation fees are recognised over a period of time when the Group satisfies its performance obligation by measuring the progress towards satisfaction of that performance obligation based on output method prescribed in AASB 15.
Revenue derived from custom development work is recognised over a period of time when the Group satisfies its performance obligation and the customer obtains the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the work carried out. Revenue is recognised by measuring the progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations based on the output method prescribed in AASB 15.
Website development revenue is recognised over time. All projects are assigned percentages of project completion which can be reliably measured based on actual work in progress Revenue is recognised over time when the performance obligations are met and when the Group receives an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Any incomplete website development project amounts invoiced are recorded as contract liabilities.
Search Engine Optimisation and Search Engine Advertising attempts to improve search engine rankings of the client’s website or bid on certain keywords in order for their clickable ads to appear in search results. These are ongoing contracts and can be cancelled with 90 days’ notice. The Group needs to continuously manage these campaigns; as such the revenue is recognised over time as the clients simultaneously receive the service and the Group satisfies its performance obligations.
Hosting revenue is derived for hosting the client’s websites in third party cloud servers managed by the Group. These contracts are ongoing and can be cancelled with 90 days’ notice. Clients may pay upfront annually. The Group needs to continually satisfy the performance obligations of hosting the site and provide customer support, as and when required. Therefore, revenue is recognised over time.
For Domain Names Registration and SSL Certification, at the time of initial activation the service has been transferred in full to the customer; and the customer is able to realise benefits from services received without further involvement from the Group. Furthermore, the Group separately prices and sells these products. There is no further performance obligation for the Group. As such revenue needs to be recognised at a point in time.
34
Interest revenue
Interest revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount can be measured reliably, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset.
Government grants
In accordance with AASB 120, government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all grant conditions will be met. Where appropriate grants relating to expense items are recognised as other income, over the periods necessary to match the grant to the costs they are compensating. Grants relating to assets are credited to deferred income and are amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the assets.
Sale of non-current assets
The net gain from the sale of non-current asset sales is recognised as income at the date control of the asset passes to the buyer, usually when the signed contract of sale becomes unconditional.
(q) Financial Instruments
Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through the profit or loss statement, and which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).
Subsequent measurement of financial assets
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified as financial assets at amortised cost. Classifications are determined by both:
-
The entity’s business model for managing the financial asset; and
-
The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.
-
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss):
-
They are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows; and
-
The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments as well as government bonds.
Trade and other receivables and contract assets
The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses.
Trade and other receivables and contract assets are subject to review at least at each reporting date to identify expected credit losses.
At reporting date and throughout the reporting period the Group did not have any other financial instruments other than trade and other receivables.
35
(r) Leasehold improvements
The cost of improvements to leasehold properties is amortised over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement to the Group, whichever is the shorter.
(s) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share for continuing operations and total operations attributable to members of the Group are determined by dividing net profit after income tax from continuing operations and the net profit attributable to members of the Group respectively, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period. The number of shares used in the calculation at any time during the period is based on the physical number of shares issued.
Diluted earnings per share
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.
(t) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend determined or recommended by the directors on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at reporting date.
(u) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Where the assets do not generate cash inflows that are not largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets, the recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
(v) Segment reporting
AASB 8 Operating Segments governs the disclosure of information about operating segments in financial statements and focuses on providing financial information based on how management internally evaluates the performance of an organisation’s segments.
In FY2025 after a strategic review of operations, the Group revised its internal reporting and decision-making process, from a “Group Level” approach to a “Business Line Financial Reporting”. As a result, the monthly financial reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker, comprising the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee members, now include performance updates on individual business lines, in addition to the overall results. This change in focus of the management was announced to the market on 3 September 2024.
The Group identified that it operates in three main operating segments: Symphony, Adslot Media and Webfirm. All three segments are discretely identifiable within the Group as they engage in revenue generating activities, have the results regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker and have discrete financial information available.
Each of the operating segments is managed separately as each of these service lines requires separate resources as well as marketing approaches. All inter-segment transfers are carried out at arm's length prices.
Symphony segment carries out provision of Digital Media workflow solutions to clients such as GroupM and Together NZ. Adslot Media offers a leading global technology trading platform (Marketplace & Storefront) that facilitates the trading of premium advertising space, connecting top publishers with leading advertisers. Media auctions business line is aggregated under Adslot Media as they have similar economic characteristics and uses same resources. Webfirm segment provides Digital Marketing services for SME clients. The segments cannot be aggregated further.
36
Identification of reportable segments
The standard stipulates applying the following quantitative thresholds for operating segments to identify reportable segments.
-
Reported revenue, including both external and inter segment sales or transfers is 10% or more of combined revenue of all operating segments.
-
Reported profit or loss is 10% or more of the greater in absolute amount, of:
-
The combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss; and
-
The combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss.
-
Assets are 10% or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.
The Group’s operating segments identified above, meet the revenue threshold and therefore are considered reportable segments for the reporting period under review.
The standard also stipulates the identification of minimum number of reportable segments. External revenue of reportable segments already identified must constitute at least 75% of total consolidated revenue. Consolidated revenue for the purpose of this comparison would be by definition, external revenue, as inter segment revenue would be eliminated on consolidation. Identification of additional reportable segments is not required if this minimum threshold is met. External revenues of the three identified reportable segments constitute 99.7% of the consolidated revenue of the Group for the reporting period under review. Therefore, the identification of additional reporting segments is not required.
In prior periods, performance evaluation was carried out on a group level and accordingly entire Group was a single operating segment aggregated into a single reporting segment. Accordingly, the comparatives have not been restated as they are not readily available and impractical to reproduce.
This change in segment reporting does not impact the overall financial performance or position of the company but affects the presentation of segment results in the financial statements (refer to Note 2a).
The measurement policies the Group uses for segment reporting under AASB 8 are the same as those used in its financial statements, except that:
-
Interest income;
-
Insurance proceeds;
-
Corporate costs;
-
Share based expenses;
-
Forex gains and losses;
-
Depreciation and amortisation; and
-
Interest expenses,
are not included in arriving at the results of the reporting segments.
Segments assets or liabilities are not included in the internal reports to the Chief Operating Decision Maker and therefore not disclosed under reporting segments.
(w) Provisions, contingent assets and contingent liabilities
Provisions for product warranties, legal disputes, onerous contracts or other claims are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required from the Group and amounts can be estimated reliably. The timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain.
Restructuring provisions are recognised only if a detailed formal plan for the restructuring exists and management has either communicated the plan’s main features to those affected or started implementation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.
Any reimbursement that the Group is virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision.
No liability is recognised if an outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is not probable. Such situations are disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the outflow of resources is remote.
37
(x) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements (apart from those involving estimations, which are dealt with below), that management has made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets
As disclosed in Note 5, the Group recognises deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences, capital losses or operating losses when it is probable that they will be able to be utilised in future reporting periods. Due to the continuing operating losses, the Directors have determined it is not appropriate to recognise deferred tax assets until a point in time where it is probable that future taxable income is going to be available to utilise the assets. The tax benefit of deferred tax assets not recognised is $20,172,240 (FY2024: $19,424,229). Refer to Note 5 for further details.
Revenue recognition
In web development and web hosting business operations, management assesses stage of completion of each project and recognises revenue in the period in which development work is undertaken. In making its judgement, management considered the standard duration of such contracts, stage of progress in contracts and commencement date of such contracts. Accordingly, management has deferred recognising some web development and web hosting revenue of an estimated value of services to be rendered in the future.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future and other key estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets
Determining whether goodwill and intangible assets are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the underlying cash-generating unit. The value in use calculations requires the entity to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating units and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. The future cash flows included in the assessments are predicated largely on growth and integration of platforms.
In the event that these products do not generate revenues as planned an impairment of the related intangible assets may result.
The carrying amount of intangible assets at the reporting date was $38,267 (FY2024: $38,267). Refer to Note 10 for further details of goodwill and intangible assets.
Capitalisation of internally developed software
AASB 138 Intangible Assets requires that costs incurred in the development stage to be capitalised while costs incurred in the research stage to be expensed.
An asset arising from development shall be recognised when a company can demonstrate all of the following:
-
The technical feasibility of completing the asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
-
Its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
Its ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
-
How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
-
The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset;
-
Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
Distinguishing the research and development phases of software projects and determining whether the recognition requirements for the capitalisation of development costs are met, requires judgement. After capitalisation, management monitors whether the recognition requirements continue to be met and whether there are any indicators that capitalised costs may be impaired.
The Group is able to satisfactorily demonstrate all of the above conditions except how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. The economic conditions affecting the integrated Adslot Symphony asset, the Group share price and the financial outlook of the revenues for the integrated Adslot Symphony asset, has not changed significantly since the detailed impairment assessment done at 30 June 2024. Therefore, the Group believes that the probable economic benefits derived from the development costs incurred in FY2025 will not be sufficient to justify capitalising the development cost.
38
Consequently, the Group decided to expense the development costs and ongoing development costs, until there is material improvement in the probable future economic value. The capitalisation of internally developed software amount for the year was nil (FY2024: $2,049,264). Refer to Note 10 for further details.
Share-based payments
The calculation of the fair value of options issued requires significant assumptions to be made in regard to volatility, along with market and non-vesting conditions. The estimations made are subject to variability that may alter the overall fair value determined. The share-based payment expense for the year was $192,670 (FY2024: $92,579).
Research and development tax concessions
A receivable of $455,311 (FY2024: $882,512) has been recognised in relation to a research and development tax concession for the 2025 financial year. Refer to Note 8 for further details. The actual claim is yet to be submitted with the Australian Tax Office and therefore there remains some uncertainty in regard to the quantum of the concession to be received. The financial statements reflect the Directors’ estimate of the receivable after taking into account the likelihood of each component of the claim being received.
New standards and interpretations issued but not effective
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, several new, but not yet effective, Standards and amendments to existing Standards, and Interpretations have been published by the AASB. None of these Standards or amendments to existing Standards have been adopted early by the Group.
Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the pronouncement. New Standards, amendments and Interpretations not adopted in the current year have not been disclosed.

2. Segment Information
In FY2025 after a strategic review of operations, the Group transitioned its internal reporting and decision-making process, from a “Group Level” approach to a “Business Line Financial Reporting”.
As a result, the Group identified that it operates in three main operating segments: Symphony, Adslot Media and Webfirm. All three segments are discretely identifiable within the Group as they engage in revenue generating activities, have the results regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker which includes the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee members, and have discrete financial information available.
The Segment information provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers for the reportable segments for the period ended 30 June is as follows:

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considers any recent history of payments and the status of the projects to which the debt relates. No payment terms have been renegotiated. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated.
Accordingly, the Directors believe that there is no further provision required in excess of the allowance for impairment.
Fair value of receivables
Fair value of receivables at year end is measured to be the same as receivables net of the allowance for impairment.

Impairment of Right of Use Asset FY2024
As per AASB 136 Impairment of Assets, an asset needs to be tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. An impairment test of the intangible assets of the Group was performed as there were indicators of impairment as at 30 June 2024. Adslot’s discounted cash flow performed for the value in use calculation in respect of testing impairment of intangible assets was negative, which is an indicator of impairment of assets other than intangible assets held at 30 June 2024. Therefore, Adslot needed to assess the recoverability of other assets, with the Right of Use Asset (ROU) relating to the Melbourne office lease being one of them. This ROU asset carried a net book value of $580,414 whereas the recoverable amount of the asset arrived at using fair value less cost of disposal was $179,059. Therefore, the carrying value of the ROU asset was impaired by $401,355 during the financial year ended 30 June 2024.

Internally Developed Software
The following table shows the portion of platform development costs that are capitalised for the current and prior financial years:
| Platform | Capitalised | R&D grants offsetting | Net Capitalised |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wages | capitalised wages | Wages | |
| $ | $ | $ | |
| 2025 | - | - | - |
| 2024 | 2,694,560 | (645,296) | 2,049,264 |
In accordance with AASB 138 Intangible Assets, development expenditure may only be capitalised when specific recognition criteria are met. While the Group is able to demonstrate most of the required conditions – including technical feasibility, intention and ability to complete, availability of resources, and reliable measurement of costs, it is currently unable to demonstrate how the integrated Adslot Symphony asset will generate probable future economic benefits.
Economic conditions relating to the asset, including the Group’s share price and projected revenue outlook, have not materially improved since the impairment assessment conducted as at 30 June 2024. As a result, the Group has determined that it has not met the criteria for capitalisation and has therefore expensed development costs incurred during FY2025. Ongoing development costs will continue to be expensed until there is a material improvement in the expected economic benefits of the asset.

Domain names
Domain names opening carrying value of $38,267 (FY2024: $38,267) relates to the various domain names held by Webfirm and Adslot. The Directors have assessed that this intellectual property has an indefinite useful life on the basis that the Directors do not believe that there is a foreseeable limit on the period over which this asset is expected to generate cash inflows for the entity.
Intellectual property
The Symphony technology was acquired as part of the Facilitate Digital Holdings Limited acquisition. The cost attributable and the accumulated amortisation to the Symphony technology intellectual property was $16,191,496. This asset was fully amortised in FY2019.
Goodwill
The Goodwill balance relating to the acquisition of Facilitate was impaired in full during FY2023.
(a) Cash Generating Units (CGU)
As a result of increased technical integration, interdependency of the Adslot and Symphony platforms and increased number of customers utilising the integrated platform for what was historically the group of CGUs, it is no longer possible to identify a single intangible asset associated with each product; instead, a single asset is identified which both products leverage. In the absence of any product-specific assets, the Company now identifies a single CGU encompassing both products, being the “AdslotSymphony CGU”.
(b) Impairment testing and key assumptions
The Group tests whether intangible assets with definite life have suffered any impairment in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. The directors’ have deemed that a value in use method reliant on forecast cash flows is appropriate to assess recoverable amounts of assets and CGU.
At 30 June 2024, the directors assessed the recoverable amount of the $2.5 million intangible asset with definite life and determined to impair the carrying value in full. No intangible assets with definite life were recognised during the year.
The carrying value for intangible assets at yearend were $38,267 (FY2024: $38,267).

23. Financial Risk Management
The Group’s operations expose it to various financial risks including market, credit, liquidity and cash flow risks. Risk management programmes and policies are employed to mitigate the potential adverse effects of these exposures on the results of the Group.
Financial risk management is carried out by the Chief Financial Officer with oversight provided by the Audit & Risk Committee and Board.
(a) Market risks
Market risks include foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. The Group’s activities expose it to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency, interest rate risk relating to interest earned on cash and cash equivalents.
Disclosures relating to foreign currency risks are covered in Note 23(d) and interest rate risk is covered in Note 23(e). The Group does not have formal policies that address the risks associated with changes in interest rates or changes in fair values of financial assets.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted.
The credit risk on financial assets, other than investments, of the Group which have been recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is the carrying amount net of any provision for doubtful debts.
The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. As disclosed in Note 8(b), ‘Impairment of receivables’, the Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of services are made to customers with appropriate credit history. Before accepting any new customers, the Group internally reviews the potential customer’s credit quality. A substantial deposit on contract in website development and hosting segment of the Group mitigates initial credit risk.
62
The Group held the following financial assets with potential credit risk exposure:
Financial assets
| Financial assets | |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents Trade debtors and other receivables (Note 8) |
2025 2024 $ $ 1,534,960 3,147,242 4,921,685 3,437,695 |
| 6,456,645 6,584,937 |
(c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to closeout market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, the Board aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping sufficient cash available to settle financial liabilities as per the contractual terms of the obligations.
The Group considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk, in particular its cash resources and trade receivables. The Group’s existing cash resources (see Note 7) and trade receivables (see Note 8) exceed the current cash outflow requirements.
As at 30 June 2025, the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities (including interest payments where applicable) as summarised below:
Contractual maturities of financial liabilities
| Contractual maturities of financial liabilities | |
|---|---|
| Due within 12 months Trade and other payables Current: Lease liability Current: Lease termination fee payable Short Term Borrowings (Radium Capital Loan) including accrued interest payable Due after 12 months Non-current: Lease liability Non-current Lease termination fee payable Total |

|
| 8,784,385 7,175,119 |
(d) Foreign currency risk
Most of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and US dollars (USD). Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Group’s overseas operations which are primarily denominated in US dollars (USD), Pound Sterling (GBP), Euros (EUR), New Zealand dollars (NZD), Chinese Yuan (CNY) and Malaysian Ringgit (MYR).
Foreign currency exposure is monitored by the Board on a periodic basis.
Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities which expose the Group to currency risk are disclosed below. The amounts shown are those reported to key management translated into AUD at the closing rate:

(e) Cash flow and interest rate risk
As the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets or liabilities (except cash), the Group’s income and operating cash flows are not materially exposed to changes in market interest rates.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on exposure to interest rates on interest bearing bank balances throughout the reporting period. A 100-basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates (also comparable to movement in interest rates during the reporting year).
At reporting date, if interest rates had been 100 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s net profit would:
| +1% | -1% | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |||
| 30 | June | 2025 | 14,280 | (4,023) |
| 30 | June | 2024 | 17,622 | (10,615) |
This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rate on its bank balances bearing interest.
(f) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
The net fair value of cash and cash equivalents and other short-term financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group approximates their carrying value.
The net fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities is based upon market prices where a market exists or by discounting the expected future cash flows by the current interest rates for assets and liabilities with similar risk profiles.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE OWNERS OF ADSLOT LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 70 001 287 510
Report on the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Adslot Limited (the Company) and controlled entities (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025, 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, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policies, the consolidated entity disclosure statement and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
a. giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2025 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
-
b. complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
The financial report also complies with the international Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report . We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Adslot Limited and controlled entities, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw your attention to Note 1(c) on going concern in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $3.7 million during the full year ended 30 June 2025. Inflows from financing activities of $1.0 million, combined with the net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $2.6 million, resulted in net cash outflows of $1.6 million in FY2025.
The Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $2.6 million and it held net liabilities of $3.3 million. These events and conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 1(c), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
71
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Revenue recognition – accuracy of revenue recorded | Revenue recognition – accuracy of revenue recorded |
|---|---|
| The Key Audit Matter | How the matter was addressed in the audit |
| Revenue represents a material balance and we have identified the following types of transactions and assertions related to revenue recognition which give rise to key risks: • the completeness of revenue recorded as a result of the reliance on output of the billing systems. Refer to note 1 – Basis of preparation (Critical accounting estimates and judgments). |
In responding to this area of focus, our audit approach included controls testing and substantive procedures covering, in particular: • Reviewing revenue recognition policies for consistency and compliance with AASB 15 _Revenues from Contracts with_Customers; • Selecting a sample of revenue transactions and vouching to support documentation, including invoices and contracts, to verify whether the revenue recognised is accurate and in the correct period; • Reviewing contract liabilities and publisher liability accounts to determine whether they are appropriately treated; and • Reviewing relevant disclosures in the financial statements. |
| Research and Development Grants | |
| The Key Audit Matter | How the matter was addressed in the audit |
| For the year ended 30 June 2025, the Group recognised a receivable of $455,311 related to estimated claims under the R&D Tax Incentive Scheme administered by AusIndustry. Professional judgement is required to estimate the receivable at year-end, particularly where claims have not yet been assessed or paid by AusIndustry. Given the high level of estimation uncertainty, complexity in applying the recognition and measurement criteria, and the materiality of the balances involved, we determined this to be a key audit matter. |
In responding to this area of focus, our audit approach included: • Obtained an understanding of the status of R&D claims lodged with AusIndustry and assessed the estimation methodology used by management to determine the receivable; • Tested the mathematical accuracy of the receivable calculation; and • Assessed the adequacy of related disclosures in the financial statements in accordance with AASB 101 and AASB 108. |
72
| Going concern | |
|---|---|
| The Key Audit Matter | How the matter was addressed in the audit |
| The Directors have assessed the Group’s Going Concern position and have made disclosures within Note 1(c) of the financial report. The assessment of Going Concern requires the use of estimates and judgements to be applied. As part of our audit we have considered the going concern position. As a result, an Emphasis of Matter on Going Concern has been included in the audit report. |
In responding to this area of focus, our audit approach included: • Reviewed current financial position of the Group; • Evaluated management’s cash flow forecasts and underlying assumptions; • Challenging the reasonableness of key assumptions used in the cash flow forecast; • Assessed the Group’s plans to raise further capital and reduce costs; and • Considered the adequacy of disclosures in the financial statements. |
There were no restrictions on our reporting of Key Audit matters.
Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2025, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the group are responsible for the preparation of:
-
a) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001; and
-
b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , and
for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:
-
a) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and
-
b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
73
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
74
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or related safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
