OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Biotron Limited (Biotron or the Company) has achieved the following outcomes during the 2024/25 financial year:

  • Appointed the USA-based C14 Consulting Group LLC (C14) to assist and guide the Company in fulfillment of strategic partnerships for its portfolio of antiviral programs including its lead asset BIT225.

  • Continued testing of new compounds to identify candidate next-generation lead for the HIV-1 and COVID19 programs as well as a lead candidate for Hepatitis B virus (HBV).

  • Extended its early stage Dengue virus program to determine in vitro activity of a subset of Biotron’s compounds against all four Dengue virus subtypes.

  • Completed the first stage of an animal study of Biotron’s lead compound for Hepatitis B virus (HBV).

  • Reported outcomes from the BIT225-012 Phase 2 COVID19 clinical trial.

  • Received an R&D Tax Incentive rebate of $1,814,496 (inclusive of $868 of interest) for the 2023/24 financial year.

  • Completed an Entitlement Issue which raised $1,274,589 (before costs).

Biotron’s core expertise lies in the design and development of drugs that target virus-encoded proteins known as viroporins. Viroporins, which are found in a broad range of viruses and play key roles in viral pathogenesis, are central to the way in which viruses modify and evade host immune responses and maintain ongoing cycles of infection.

Biotron has designed and developed a library of compounds that target viroporins in a broad range of different viruses. The approach opens up a new way to treat viral diseases with drugs that uniquely combine directacting antiviral and immunomodulatory activities across numerous viruses responsible for important human disease.

CLINICAL AND PRECLINICAL PROGRAMS

Biotron’s lead antiviral drug BIT225 has shown broad-spectrum activity against a number of serious viruses in an extensive range of non-clinical and clinical studies. This new class of novel small molecule drug has been successfully tested in 12 clinical trials in people infected with HIV-1, Hepatitis C virus (HCV) or SARS-CoV-2, or co-infected with HIV-1 and HCV, as well as in healthy volunteers.

The data from the human studies is supported by a portfolio of cell and animal-based studies which demonstrate the safety of BIT225 as well as its potential to uniquely combine direct-acting antiviral activity with modulation of the deleterious immune response that viruses cause during infections.

Its portfolio extends beyond BIT225 and includes next-generation compounds for its HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 programs, as well as compounds with activity across a broad range of viruses including Hepatitis B virus (HBV), influenza, Dengue virus and others. In addition to BIT225, Biotron has designed, synthesised and tested a library of over 500 small molecule compounds. While BIT225 is the only Biotron drug to have been tested to date in humans, the data generated supports the development of next generation drugs within the library for the current indications, as well as a source of drugs for other viruses such as Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Dengue virus.

In September 2024 the Company reported outcomes from the completed Phase 2 COVID19 clinical trial (BIT225-012) with BIT225. The 012 trial was a small, exploratory study, designed during the days of the COVID19 pandemic when there were few available treatment options. By the time the study was underway, vaccination was widespread, and newly approved drugs were available to treat people at high risk of progression to severe COVID.

BIOTRON LIMITED

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

While the trial importantly met the primary safety and tolerability end point, it did not meet the primary efficacy end point in this population as assessed by the change in SARS-CoV-2 nasal viral load.

A subsequent post hoc, exploratory evaluation of the dataset indicated a potential benefit of BIT225 in people who had higher viral loads at commencement of treatment. This information may assist in the design of any further trials for this indication with this new class of drug.

The preclinical data of BIT225 in a mouse COVID19 model that supported the BIT225-012 clinical study remain some of the best in the field, and overall, the portfolio of data generated with BIT225 against SARS-CoV-2 support the ongoing development of this broad-spectrum drug.

During the year in review the Company has continued to characterise the antiviral activity of its anti-HBV compounds. HBV is an important early-stage program for Biotron. Like HIV-1, HBV can be treated with drugs that stop the virus replicating, but these do not eradicate the virus.

Chronic infection with HBV can lead to complications such as cirrhosis and liver cancer which cause close to one million deaths worldwide each year. Over 2 billion people worldwide have been infected with HBV. The World Health Organisation estimates that over 250 million are chronically infected.

Several Biotron compounds have demonstrated significant anti-viral activity against HBV in pre-clinical studies in cell cultures, reducing levels of cccDNA (covalently closed circular DNA), as well as other key viral markers.

In June 2025 the Company announced the completion of the first stage of an animal study of Biotron’s lead HBV compound (which is the same class but a different structure to BIT225). The aim of the study is the assessment of the antiviral activity of Biotron’s HBV drug in two mouse HBV models that are commonly used to study liver diseases and infection. If positive, the results will confirm and extend the results generated to date against this virus.

The first stage of the animal study was a safety study, set up to determine the correct dosage of the drug for use in the second stage in which the mice will be challenged with HBV. All mice remained healthy throughout the study, and no gross organ toxicity was observed on autopsy, confirming the safety of the drug in the mice at the dosing levels tested.

Biotron’s HBV drug has now progressed to the second stage of the study, where it is being tested for its ability to protect and treat HBV infection in the two HBV mouse models. The progression of one of several Biotron compounds with promising anti-HBV activity into an animal model of disease is an important step for this program.

In addition, during the year under review, several compounds were assessed for their ability to inhibit all four Dengue virus subtypes in cell-based assays. Current resources and activities are focused on the HBV program. The Dengue program will be progressed when funding permits.

COMMERCIALISATION

In late 2024 Biotron appointed the USA based C14 Consulting Group LLC (C14) to assist and guide the Company in fulfillment of strategic partnerships for its portfolio of antiviral programs including its lead clinical asset BIT225.

C14 is a highly regarded consultancy firm with a global capability. Led by Martina Molsbergen (Chief Executive Officer), C14 has an enviable track record of securing licence agreements, joint ventures and commercialisation of pharmaceutical patented assets with all levels of pharma from large scale to biotech companies that specialise in orphan and targeted applications. C14 has demonstrated that it has long standing relationships with a broad cross section of pharmaceutical companies and a detailed knowledge of the indications and market segments on which each of these companies are currently focusing.

Throughout the first half of 2025 C14 has been working with Biotron to refine its commercialisation strategy and provide business development support. The project and retainer fees, together with an outcome-based success component, aligns the interests of the parties in achieving one or more commercial outcomes.

BIOTRON LIMITED

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

The space in which Biotron works is complex scientifically and medically. Biotron is at the cutting edge with this dual approach to treating viral infections. Drug development is slow and inherently risky.

We appreciate the ongoing support and patience of shareholders while we work to achieve a commercial outcome to benefit shareholders.

PATENTS

Biotron continues to progress patents related to its antiviral programs through the international patenting process. The Company recognises that the key to establishment of partnerships is the expansion and continued strengthening of Biotron’s intellectual property portfolio. Strong, defensible, international patents are essential to attract partners and to ensure a competitive advantage for the Company’s products in the marketplace.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

CORPORATE

In April 2025 Company announced the successful completion of an Entitlement Issue, raising $1,274,589 (before costs) through a renounceable rights issue. The Offer was partially underwritten by Mahe Capital Pty Limited for $750,000.

The net proceeds will enable the Company to continue commercialisation activities focused on achieving strategic partnership(s) for its portfolio of antiviral programs including its lead asset BIT225, expand its promising early-stage Hepatitis B virus program, and support ongoing administration and operational costs.

In October 2024, the Company received an R&D Tax Incentive rebate for $1,814,496 (inclusive of $868 of interest) for the financial year ended 30 June 2024.

In late 2024 Dr. Susan Pond and Professor Stephen Locarnini, Non-Executive Directors, retired as Directors of the Company.

Subsequent to the end of the year in review the Company appointed Mr Michael Medway as Non-Executive Director.

OUTLOOK

During the next financial year, the Company will be focused on:

  • Commercialisation of the Company’s portfolio of antiviral programs and compounds. As noted above, the Company is currently working with the US-based C14 Consulting Group to facilitate commercialisation opportunities.

  • Progressing promising early-stage programs including HBV and dengue, as funds permit.

Remuneration Report - Audited

Principles of compensation - Audited

Key management personnel have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company. Key management personnel comprise the directors of the Company and the Company Secretary. No other employees have been deemed to be key management personnel.

The policy of remuneration of directors and senior executives is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person's duties and responsibilities, and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality. The Board is responsible for reviewing its own performance. The non-executive directors are responsible for evaluating the performance of the executive directors who, in turn, evaluate the performance of all other senior executives. The evaluation process is intended to assess the Company's business performance, whether long term strategic objectives are being achieved and the achievement of individual performance objectives.

Remuneration generally comprises salary and superannuation. Longer term incentives are able to be provided through the Company's Incentive Option Plan at the discretion of the Directors, which acts to align the directors and senior executives' actions with the interests of the shareholders. The vesting conditions of options issued under the plan are based on a minimum service periods being achieved.

The Constitution and ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting.

In the event that the employment or office of the option holder is terminated, any options which have not reached their vesting conditions will lapse and any options which have reached their vesting conditions may be exercised within two months of the date of termination of employment. Any options not exercised within this two month period will lapse. The remuneration disclosed below represents the cost to the Company for the services provided under these arrangements.

No directors or senior executives received performance related remuneration in the current year or prior year.

There were no remuneration consultants used by the Company during the year ended 30 June 2025 or in the prior year. Remuneration is determined based on prevailing market conditions.

BIOTRON LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

1. REPORTING ENTITY

Biotron Limited (the 'Company') is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is at Level 2, 66 Hunter Street, Sydney, NSW 2000. The Company is a for-profit entity and is primarily engaged in the funding and management of intermediate and applied biotechnology research and development projects.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a) Statement of compliance

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards ('AASBs') adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001 . The financial statements of the Company also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRSs') adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

The financial report was authorised for issue by the directors on 27 August 2025.

(b) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

(d) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described in the following notes:

  • Note 2 (e) – Going concern

(e) Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Company has incurred a trading loss of $318,572 for the year ended 30 June 2025 and has accumulated losses of $58,772,832 at 30 June 2025. The Company has cash on hand of $931,676 at 30 June 2025 and used $2,399,627 of cash in operations for the year ended 30 June 2025 and received $1,814,496 (inclusive of $868 of interest) in research and development government incentives. During the year ended 30 June 2025, the Company raised $6,436 from the exercise of options and $1,108,063 net of costs from a rights issue. As at 30 June 2025, the Company had net assets of $551,895.

During the period, the Company executed an agreement with C14 Consulting Group LLC (‘C14’) to assist and guide the Company in fulfillment of strategic partnerships for its portfolio of antiviral programs including its lead clinical asset. This work is ongoing at year end.

21

BIOTRON LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

(e) Going concern (continued)

These conditions give rise to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ongoing operation of the Company is critically dependent on:

  • The Company raising additional funding from shareholders or other parties;

  • The Company reducing expenditure in line with available funding

The directors have prepared cash flow projections that support the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for the period 1 July 2025 to 30 September 2026. These cash flow projections include a significant reduction in expenditure on research and development activities and assume the Company continues to work with C14 to explore options to commercialise its intellectual property asset, conducts a capital raise, and maintains expenditure in line with available funding.

In the event that the Company does not obtain additional funding and reduce expenditure in line with available funding, the achievement of which is significantly uncertain until secured or realised, it may not be able to continue its operations as a going concern and therefore may not be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the ordinary course of operations and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Application of accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied to all periods presented in these financial statements and have been applied consistently by the Company.

(b) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are able to be early adopted for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2024 and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of these new standards and interpretations.

(c) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

(d) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are stated at their amortised cost less impairment losses.

(e) Property, plant and equipment

Property plant and equipment are stated at their historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss using the reducing balance method from the date of acquisition at rates between 13% and 40% per annum.

(f) Government grants

Where a grant is received relating to research and development costs that have been expensed, the grant is recognised as other income when the grant becomes reasonably assured and the Company complies with all attached conditions.

22

BIOTRON LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(g) Research and development costs

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in profit and loss when incurred.

Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalised only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Otherwise, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss when incurred.

Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

(h) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at their amortised cost, are non-interest bearing and are normally settled within 60 days.

(i) Employee entitlements

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short term cash bonus or profit sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Long term employee benefits

The Company’s net obligation in respect of long term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Re-measurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Share-based payment transactions

The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and nonmarket performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

(j) Share capital

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

(k) Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.

23

BIOTRON LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(l) Finance income

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method

(m) Tax

Income tax comprises of current tax and deferred tax and is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and at the time of the transaction, does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary difference.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Goods and services tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax ('GST'), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

(n) Earnings per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share ('EPS') data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options.

24

BIOTRON LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(o) Impairment

Financial instruments

The Company recognises expected credit losses (‘ECLs’), where material, on financial assets measured at amortised cost. The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

Loss allowances are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost and debt securities at fair value through other comprehensive income are credit-impaired.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof.

(p) Segment reporting

Determination and presentation of operating segments

The Company determines and presents operating segments based on the information that is provided internally to the Managing Director, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker.

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components. All operating segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Managing Director to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.

Segment results that are reported to the Managing Director include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Company’s headquarters), head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities.

4. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

Share-based payment transactions

The fair value of employee share options is measured using the Black-Scholes formula. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and nonmarket performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value. Share-based payment arrangements in which the Company receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity instruments are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payment transactions.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at fair value, at initial recognition, and for disclosure purposes, at each annual reporting date. Fair value is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the measurement date.

During the 2025 and 2024 financial years, no long term benefits or termination payments were paid.

18. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

The Company has an Incentive Option Plan to provide eligible persons, being employees or directors, or individuals whom the Plan Committee determine to be employees for the purposes of the Plan, with the opportunity to acquire options over unissued ordinary shares in the Company. The number of options granted or offered under the Plan will not exceed 10% of the Company's issued share capital and the exercise price of options will be the greater of the market value of the Company's shares as at the date of grant of the option or such amount as the Plan Committee determines. Options have no voting or dividend rights. The vesting conditions of options issued under the plan are based on minimum service periods being achieved ranging from 2 to 4 years. There are no other vesting conditions attached to options issued under the plan.

In the event that the employment or office of the option holder is terminated, any options which have not reached their exercise period will lapse and any options which have reached their exercise period may be exercised within two months of the date of termination of employment. Any options not exercised within this two-month period will lapse. During the year, no ordinary shares were issued as a result of the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Incentive Option Plan (2024 – nil).

Fair value of options share-based payment

The fair value of options granted is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the period during which the recipients become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using an option valuation methodology, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of options that vested during the period.

The fair value of options granted on 26 October 2022 to the lead manager of the rights issue and share placement offers was $226,528. The Black-Scholes formula model inputs were the Company's share price of $0.045 at the grant date, a volatility factor of 88.39% based on historic share price performance, a risk-free interest rate of 3.37% based on government bonds and a dividend yield of 0%.

The fair value of options issued on 25 November 2022 to subscribers of the rights issue and placement offers was $1,300,000. The Black-Scholes formula model inputs were the Company's share price of $0.037 at the grant date, a volatility factor of 88.39% based on historic share price performance, a risk-free interest rate of 3.37% based on government bonds and a dividend yield of 0%.

Expenses arising from share-based payment transactions

Total expenses arising from share based payment for equity based compensation transactions recognised during the year ended 30 June 2025 was nil (2024 - $nil).

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s financial instruments comprise deposits with banks, trade and other payables and from time to time short term loans from related parties. The Company does not trade in derivatives or in foreign currency.

The Company manages its risk exposure of its financial instruments in accordance with the guidance of the Board of Directors. The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risks. This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of these risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company’s management of capital.

Risk management framework

The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Informal risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company.

The primary responsibility to monitor the financial risks lies with the Managing Director and the Company Secretary under the authority of the Board.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises mainly from the risk of counterparties defaulting on the terms of their agreements.

The carrying amounts of the following assets represent the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets:

BIOTRON LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company mitigates credit risk on cash and cash equivalents by dealing with regulated banks in Australia.

Security deposits

Credit risk on security deposits is very low as it usually consists predominantly of amounts recoverable from a regulated bank in Australia.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The ultimate responsibility for liquidity management rests with the Board. The Company monitors rolling forecasts of liquidity on the basis of expected fund raisings, trade payables and other obligations for the ongoing operation of the Company. At balance date, the Company has available funds of $931,676 for its immediate use.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments:

Trade and other payables 120,483 (120,483) (120,483) -

Trade and other payables 334,621 (334,621) (334,621) -
Lease Liability 7,130 (7,130) (7,130) -

It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Interest rate risk

The Company’s income statement is affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact of such changes on interest income from cash and cash equivalents and interest bearing security deposits. Changes in interest rates for the current and prior reporting period date would have increased/decreased equity and loss for the period by an immaterial amount.

At balance date, the Company had the following mix of financial assets exposed to variable interest rate risk.

The Company does not have interest rate swap contracts.

Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on cash and cash equivalents that are denominated in United States currency. The company’s gross financial exposure to foreign currency risk at balance date was nil (2024 - US$97).

The Company is not exposed to price risks.

Capital management

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business.

The Board ensures costs are not incurred in excess of available funds and will seek to raise additional funding through issues of shares for the continuation of the Company’s operations. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Estimation of fair values

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities approximate their net fair values, given the short time frames to maturity and or variable interest rates.

20. FINANCIAL REPORTING BY SEGMENTS

The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, being the biotechnology industry in Australia.

21. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company may be party to commercial disputes and litigation in the normal course of business. No material liabilities are expected to arise in respect of the commercial disputes and litigation existing at balance date.

There are no capital commitments at the date of these financial statements.

22. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Michael Medway was appointed as a director on 16 July 2025.

There have been no other matters arising in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction, or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial years.

Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 2 (e) “Going Concern” in the financial report. The conditions disclosed in Note 2(e), indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

In concluding there is a material uncertainty related to going concern we evaluated the extent of uncertainty regarding events or conditions casting significant doubt in the Company’s assessment of going concern. This included: �

  • Analysing the cash flow projections by:

  • Evaluating the underlying data used to generate the projections for consistency with other information tested by us, our understanding of the Company’s intentions, and past results and practices;

  • Assessing the planned levels of operating cash inflows and outflows, including capital expenditures, for feasibility, timing, consistency of relationships and trends to the Company’s historical results, results since year end, and our understanding of the business, industry and economic conditions of the Company;

  • Assessing significant non-routine forecast cash inflows and outflows including the expected outcome of planned capital raisings for feasibility, quantum and timing. We used our knowledge of the client, its industry and current status of those initiatives to assess the level of associated uncertainty.

  • Reading minutes of Directors’ meetings and relevant correspondence with the Company’s advisors to understand the Company’s ability to raise additional shareholder funds and assess the level of associated uncertainty.

  • Evaluating the Company’s going concern disclosures in the financial report by comparing them to our understanding of the matter, the events or conditions incorporated into the cash flow projection assessment, the Company’s plans to address those events or conditions, and accounting standard requirements. We specifically focused on the principal matters giving rise to the material uncertainty.

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 of the current period.

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.

In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matter described below to be the Key Audit Matter.

Direct Research and Development Expenditure - $535,423

Direct Research and Development Expenditure - $535,423 Direct Research and Development Expenditure - $535,423
Refer to Note 3(g) and 6 to the Financial Report
The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit
Direct research and development expenditure
is a key audit matter due to the significance of
the amount (being 25% of total expenses) and
the audit effort associated with assessing the
completeness, existence and accuracy of the
amount recorded by the Company.
Our procedures included:

Assessing the Company’s accounting policy for
research and development expenditure against
the requirements of the accounting standards
and our understanding of the business and
industry practice;

Selecting a statistical sample of items recorded
as direct research and development expenditure
and checking the expenditure amount recorded
for consistency to invoices from third parties or
other underlying documentation;

For the samples identified above, checking the
nature of the expenditure for consistency with
its classification as direct research and
development expenditure, in accordance with
the Company’s accounting policy and the
criteria in the accounting standards; and

Testing the completeness of direct research and
development expenditure recorded in the year
by checking payments recorded since year end
and unprocessed invoices for evidence of the
timing of the transactions. We selected our
sample from the Company’s payments made
since balance date, and unprocessed invoices at
the date of our testing, and checked the timing
of the transaction to the underlying
documentation

We evaluated the adequacy of the Company’s
disclosures of research and development
expenditure in the financial report using our
understanding obtained from our testing and
against the requirements of the accounting
standards.

Other Information

Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Biotron Limited’s annual report which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are responsible for the Other Information.

Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we 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.

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The Directors are responsible for:

  • preparing the Financial Report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including giving a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Company, and in compliance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001

  • implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including giving a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Company, and that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error

  • assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objective is:

  • 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 Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They 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 the Financial Report.
