Executive Chairman and CEO’s Report to Shareholders
Dear fellow shareholders,
I am pleased to present the Codeifai Limited (CDE) Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024.
In 2024, CDE took solid steps toward profitability, achieving a 20% increase in revenue to $810k and a 44% reduction in consolidated loss to $2.51m (from $4.5m in the PCP). The full-year results reflect a clear trend of declining losses, marking the lowest annual loss in the Company's history. This was driven by revenue growth while maintaining strict cost controls.
Digital & Engagement First : The QR Code Future for CDE
During the year, CDE strategically pivoted from an anti-counterfeit focus to a Digital & Engagement First strategy, emphasizing QR code technologies. This transition unlocks revenue opportunities through proprietary products like ConnectQR™ and additional verticals.
The company anticipates significant growth in QR code applications, particularly in secure payments, funds transfers, and crypto transactions. QR codes are increasingly being adopted in Western markets, mirroring their widespread use in Asia for payments and business transactions.
Scaling ConnectQR™ for Global Growth
The 2024 results demonstrate revenue improvement and cost discipline, while sustaining R&D momentum. Enhancements to ConnectQR™, CDE’s self-service QR code generation and management platform, could represent the company’s most significant achievement to date. This technology fosters data generation and analysis capabilities, amplifying the value of CDE’s intellectual property portfolio.
Key advancements in ConnectQR™ include:
-
Canva Integration: Allows users to seamlessly embed ConnectQR™ codes into Canva designs. Users can manage QR codes directly within Canva’s App Marketplace.
-
Interactive Designs with AI: Enables generative AI to transform dynamic QR codes into artistic designs, adding engaging, interactive elements to digital content.
-
Unique Serialised QR Codes: ConnectQR™ is the only Canvaintegrated solution offering serialised QR codes, enhancing ProtectCode™ and BrandReporter™ adoption.
New Revenue Opportunity: Short URLs
The 2024 launch of ConnectQR™’s URL shortening feature expands subscription revenue jaws. This tool enables users to shorten long URLs while leveraging powerful analytics. The feature aligns with the US$17bn affiliate marketing industry[(1)] and other high-growth markets such as social media, e-commerce, and online advertising.
-
The URL shortening market was valued at US$7.03bn in 2023 and is projected to reach US$36.2bn by 2032[(2).]
-
A key competitor reportedly grew revenue from US$6.4m in 2021 to US$100m in 2023[(3).]
-
ConnectQR™’s short URL feature provides users with trackable links within the ConnectQR™ dashboard, offering valuable data insights.
Expansion Beyond Australia
Previously, CDE’s market was limited to Australia and New Zealand, but digital marketing efforts over the past 18 months have secured revenue in:
-
Africa: A major recycling company adopted CDE’s digital solution to combat recycling fraud.
-
Europe: Growing demand for Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs) presents further opportunities.
-
Peru: A significant food packaging company uses ProtectCode™ for customer engagement.

Corporate Developments
Funding was received from the continued support of the Executive Chairman in the form of convertible notes and loans and the conversion of $2.25m debt with the approval of shareholders, improving the Company’s balance sheet. 2024 also saw the engagement of Oakley Capital Partners as investment managers.
Strategic Review of Material Science Division
CDE has initiated a strategic review of its Material Science division, starting with the mutual termination of exclusive patent licenses from MIT. The review, expected to be completed in Q2 2025, does not affect CDE’s proprietary MotifMicro (MM1) product, which remains protected by CDE’s own patent family.
Passing of Gerard Eakin
CDE mourns the untimely passing of Board Member Gerard Eakin in 2024. He was cherished by his family, colleagues, and the entire CDE team. Our thoughts are with those who miss Gerard.
John Houston, Executive Chairman and CEO

Directors’ Report
The directors present their report and the financial statements of Codeifai Limited (the “Company”) and its controlled entities (the “Consolidated Entity”, the “Group”) for the financial year ended 31 December 2024.
1. Directors and Company Secretary
The following persons were directors of the Company since the start of the financial year to the date of this report unless otherwise stated.
Executive Chairman
John Houston
Non-Executive Directors
Su (George) Su Gerard Eakin (Deceased 17 October 2024) Colin Turner (Appointed 21 October 2024)
Joint Company Secretary(s)
Lucy Rowe Shelby Coleman
Particulars of each director’s experience and qualifications are set out later in this report.
2. Principal Activities
The principal activity of the Group during the financial year was as a sales, marketing, developer and self-service SaaS solution provider of anti-counterfeiting, product authentication and QR code based consumer engagement solutions to brand owners globally.
3. Review of Operations
Please refer to the Executive Chairman and CEO’s report on page 3 of this Annual Report.
4. Financial Results
The reported net loss decreased 44% to $2,514,767 (2023: $4,459,632). This result included an impairment of intangible assets of $685,696 in 2024 (2023: 907,797). The EBITDA loss of $1,849,997 for 2024 was 51% lower than that of 2023 ($3,773,023). Net cash used in operating activities of $2,100,904 in 2024 (2023: $2,256,845) was 7% lower than 2023.
Revenue increased by 20% to $810,297 in 2024 from $677,888 in 2023 including revenue from legal settlement of a trade debtor, while new business tracks at a similar pace to the PcP.
Net cash used in operations as reported improved 7% to $2.1m but pre finance and interest costs it improved 4% to $1.96m.
5
The patent licence rights of $5,005,796 represents the historical value of the MotifMicro acquisition less an accumulated impairment charge of $4,580,822, of which $685,696 was recognised in 2024.
The impairment assessment in 2024 was performed internally via a Value in Use (‘VIU’) valuation of the patent licence rights of MotifMicro. The impairment testing indicated that the recoverable amount of the patent licence rights was less than the carrying amount and therefore an impairment loss of $685,696 was recognised during the financial year 2024 (2023: $576,473). Key assumptions utilised are further detailed in Note 16 to the financial statements.
The impairment loss recognised can be reversed in future accounting periods to the extent that future recoverable amounts support a higher carrying value.
During 2024, a total of $703,075 was raised via new equity placements to fund the ongoing operations of the Group. The net assets of Codeifai were $2,753,188 as at 31 December 2024 (2023:$1,781,685). Cash at balance date was $385,901 (2023: $567,572).
The Company has a history of securing external funding support as required. Given the strong technical and commercial progress being made, the Board considers it likely that external funding support will be available in future if and when necessary.
Significant Changes in State of Affairs
Other than the information set out in the CEO’s report and activities section of this annual report, there are no significant change in the state of affairs that the Group has not disclosed.

7. Events Subsequent to Balance Date
The following events have occurred since 31 December 2024:
• On 30 January 2025, Codeifai and M.I.T. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) agreed to mutually terminate the exclusive Patent licences over the following Patents and Patent families: M.I.T Case No. 11917 US Patent No 7709544 including various non-US Patents M.I.T. Case No 15231L US Patent 14/214594 including various non-US Patents The Company also initiated a strategic review of its material science Division in accordance with the Company's previously announced strategy of "Digital & Engagement First strategy.”
The Directors consider that the termination of the M.I.T. license does not impact the carrying value of the intangible asset as the Company wholly owns the following Patents which we consider to be valuable and a blocker to competitors launching smartphone readable technologies:
-
Patent covering the use of a mobile device to interact with a physical security material which comprises a phosphor (U.S. app 14/441,470 with a priority date of 2013) GRANTED October 5th 2021
-

- A$133,000 per annum Contract
On February 27[th] 2025, the Company’s China division signed a contract valued at RMB6.1m (A$1.33m at 4.6RMB/AUD) over the three-year term. Client is Hangzhou Carbon-Oxygen Power Tech Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of Transfar Group a globally recognised conglomerate with extensive operations in chemicals, textiles, and logistics.
- Loans from s708 investors

Other than the above, no matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2024 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Consolidated Entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the Consolidated Entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

3. Material Risks to the Company
Identifying and mitigating key business risks that may affect our strategy and performance plays a significant role as part of the Group’s corporate governance. The following outlines key risks identified in the governance process which can be read in addition to other risks outlined in this report.
Intellectual property: To market and protect our market position, it is important for the Company to protect the intellectual property in its brand and the technology however there may be situations where it cannot be protected or is subject to changed conditions, unauthorised disclosure, infringement, or challenge by a third party.
Reliance on key personnel: The Company relies on the experience and knowledge of its senior management team, in particular the CEO and the Company is dependent on its ability to recruit and retain suitably qualified personnel. In the event that such key personnel left the Company and it was unable to recruit suitable replacements, such loss could have a materially adverse effect on the Company.
Increased competition: The anti-counterfeit, brand protection consumer engagement and self-service SaaS QR code markets are highly competitive. This competition has intensified as a result of improvements in technology. If the Company's technology proves to be less successful or more costly than its competitors products, the business of the Company could be adversely affected. Growth prospects and Company expansion plans: The Company's growth prospects are dependent upon a number of factors, including, customer take up, execution of new product development and “go to market” of new products. There is a risk that the Company may encounter potential issues arising from operating in foreign jurisdictions, including marketing restrictions, regulations regarding anti-counterfeit and consumer engagement.
Technology Research & Development (R&D): In the short term, the Company has halted the technical development of MotifMicro while we perform a strategic analysis of the Material Science division. The Company believes that favourable developments in these areas would likely have a positive effect on the Company’s financial performance and conversely if the Company fails to successfully accomplish these developments then its financial performance is likely to be negatively affected.
Reliance on key supplier relationships: The Company relies on various key supplier relationships for certain parts of its business. The loss or impairment of any of these relationships could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and prospects, at least until alternative arrangements can be implemented. In some instances, however, alternative arrangements may not be available or may be less attractive to the Company.
Delivery risk: Due to the nature of the Company's key products being manufactured in the PRC, the potential exists for delays or cancellations in the delivery of products without any practical recourse being available to the Company to recover lost earnings.
Funding: While the Company believes it will have sufficient funds after completion of capital and/or debt placement (outlined elsewhere in this report) to meet all of its growth and capital requirements for the near term, the Company may seek to exploit opportunities of a kind that will require it to raise additional capital from equity or debt
10
sources. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such debt or capital on favourable terms or at all.
Potential for dilution: The issue of the Shares and Options pursuant to Offers made to the Capital markets will result in dilution to the Shareholders, and any exercise of Options into Shares will result in Shareholders being diluted through the issue of new Shares.
Other: Other more general risks which are relevant to the Company include litigation, regulatory and Government risk, reliance on access to the internet and AWS (Amazon Web Services) cloud services which house our Connect platform and cybersecurity vulnerability. The Company actively manages both visibility and resolution of risks that arise in the course of business.
4. Meetings of Directors
During the financial year, 10 formal board meetings of directors were held. During the year the full Board dealt with all relevant matters and no separate meetings of either the Remuneration or Audit Committees of the Board were held. Attendance by each director during the year was as follows:
| Board | Meetings | |
|---|---|---|
| Director | Number eligible to | Number attended |
| attend | ||
| John Houston | 10 | 10 |
| Gerard Eakin | 9 | 9 |
| Su (George) Su | 10 | 10 |
| Colin Turner | 1 | 1 |
5. Remuneration Report (Audited)
This section presents the nature and amount of remuneration for persons who were classified as Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group during the 2024 financial year.
Remuneration Policy
The remuneration policy of the Group has been designed to align Key Management Personnel (KMP) objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and a variable (at risk) component. The Board of the Company believes the remuneration policy is appropriate for the current stage of development of the Group.
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and senior executives of the Group is as follows:
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the Board. All executives receive an agreed mix of fixed salary (which is based on factors such as experience and level of responsibilities), superannuation, fringe benefits and an annual cash performance incentive. The Group’s Remuneration Committee will review and make recommendations to the Board in respect of executive packages on an annual basis. Reference will be made to the Group’s performance, executive performance and
11
comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed annually with each executive. Performance criteria include factors relating to the responsibilities of each position as well as company-wide factors such as the forecast growth of the Group’s profits. All bonuses are linked to predetermined performance criteria. The Board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and can recommend changes to the committee’s recommendations. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.
The executive directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government and do not receive any other retirement benefits.
All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The remuneration committee determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for nonexecutive directors are not linked to the performance of the Entity. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
Where non-executive directors provide additional services to the Group, this must be approved in advance by the remuneration committee chair.
Performance Based Remuneration
As part of each executive director and executive’s remuneration package there is a performance-based component, which is paid on achievement of key performance indicators (“KPIs”). The program seeks to align goals of directors and executives with that of the Company and its shareholders. The KPIs are reviewed annually by the Board in consultation with executives.
The measures are tailored to the areas each executive has a level of control over. The KPIs target areas the Board believes hold greater potential for group expansion and profit, covering financial and non-financial as well as short- and long-term goals. The level set for each KPI is based on budgeted figures for the group and respective industry standards.
Performance in relation to the KPIs is assessed annually, with bonuses being awarded depending on the number and deemed difficulty of the KPIs achieved. Following the assessment, the KPIs are reviewed by the remuneration committee in light of the desired and actual outcomes, and their efficiency is assessed in relation to the group’s goals and shareholder wealth, before the KPIs are set for the following year.

Codeifai Limited Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
1. Reporting entity
Codeifai Limited (the “Company”) is domiciled in Australia.
The Company’s registered office is at Level 5, 126 Philip Street, Sydney NSW 2000. These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” or “Consolidated Entity”).
The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Codeifai Limited, have not been presented within the financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 . Parent company financial information is disclosed in Note 27.
The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
2. Basis of preparation
The consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 31 March 2025.
The Group’s accounting policies have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise, and are disclosed in Note 6 Material Accounting Policy information .
Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
i. Going concern basis of accounting
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.
The Group incurred an operating loss after income tax of $2,514,767 and had a deficiency of operating cash flows of $2,100,904 for the year ended 31 December 2024. As at 31 December 2024, the Group has cash and cash equivalents of $385,901 and a deficiency in net current assets of $2,753,188.
While preparing the cash flow forecasts, the Directors noted the following:
-
Confidence in achieving the forecasted sales growth for 2025 based upon the roadmap to develop and commercialise the core CDE products. Additionally, the recent launch of new product, ConnectQR is anticipated to contribute to the revenue stream of 2025. The company is continuing to grow the opportunity pipeline in key industries and sectors and ultimately convert these into revenue;
-
The signing of a mandate to raise capital as outlined in note 30.
27
Codeifai Limited Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
-
The Group is continuing to take initiatives which aim to reduce operating costs and focus on value-added activities. The Group has strategically terminated the MIT licence which will further reduce cash outflows in the future periods;
-
The Group has received $750,000 in loan funds with a term of 12 months from the Executive Chairman John Houston;
-
The group has signed a loan facility agreement to provide up to $2 million (subject to shareholder approval) to assist working capital
-
The Group will consider external funding including a capital raise under the mandate in place and support from related parties in the future, if and when necessary. The Company has demonstrated its ability to successfully raise capital in current and prior periods and there is no evidence to suggest that the Company would not be able to raise necessary capital required to continue to funds its operations and obligations.
On this basis, the Directors are of the opinion that the financial statements can be prepared on a going concern basis and the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and payable.
3. Functional and presentational currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
4. Rounding of amounts
Amounts in the consolidated financial statements and directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest dollar.
5. Use of judgements and estimates
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of the Group’s 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 on-going basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.
Judgements
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes:
-
Note 16 Intangibles
-
Note 20 Reserves – Share-based payment
28
Codeifai Limited Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
6. Material accounting policy information
The Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, except if mentioned otherwise (see Note 6).
A. Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent Codeifai Limited and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 28.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using reverse acquisition accounting. In reverse acquisition accounting, the cost of the business combination is deemed to have been incurred by the legal subsidiary YPB Limited (HK) (the acquirer for accounting purposes) in the form of equity instruments issued to the owners of the legal parent, Codeifai Limited (formerly, YPB Company Limited and AUV Enterprises Limited) (the acquiree for accounting purposes).
B. Revenue and other income
The Group considers the following for revenue recognition:
-
whether a contract exists;
-
performance obligations identified within the contract;
-
determine transaction price;
-
allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
-
recognise revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
29
Codeifai Limited Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue recognition relating to the provision of services is determined with reference to the completion of the performance obligations identified in the contract.
The Group recognises contract liabilities for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations and reports these amounts as other 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 generated by the Group is categorised as a bundled “complete solution offering” which encompasses a range of products and services which are available to customers, including:
-
Digital engagement platform;
-
Covert forensic products;
-
Brand protection labelling solutions.
Digital engagement platform
The Group provides a cloud-based customer digital engagement and analytics platform that enables brands to form a unique relationship with customers. Revenue is recognised at the time when the performance obligation of providing the reports from the customer engagement platform are completed.
Covert forensic products
The Group manufactures and sell covert forensic products. Revenue is recognised at the time when control of the products has transferred to the customer. For such transactions, this is when the products are delivered to the customer.
Brand protection labelling solutions
The Group purchases and sells brand protection labelling products. Revenue is recognised when control of the products has transferred to the customer. For such transactions, this is when the products are delivered to the customer.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.
C. Foreign currency transactions and balances
i. Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the parent entity’s functional currency.
30
Codeifai Limited Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024 ii. Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge and except where net investment policy applies. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise, the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss.
iii. Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations, whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency, are translated as follows:
-
assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period;
-
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
-
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian dollars are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. The cumulative amount of these differences is reclassified into profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed of
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian dollars in which the settlement of the monetary items is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future are included as a net investment in the foreign operations.
D. Employee benefits
i. Share-based payment arrangements
The Group operates an employee share and option plan. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortised over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The number of shares, options
31
Codeifai Limited Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
and performance rights expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
E. Finance income and finance costs
The Group’s finance income and finance costs include:
-
Interest expense; and
-
Foreign currency gain or loss on financial assets and liabilities
Interest expense is recognised using the effective interest method. The ‘effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial instrument to the amortised cost of the financial liability.
In calculating interest expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the amortised cost of the liability.
F. Income tax
The income tax expense/(income) for the period comprises current income tax expense/(income) and deferred tax expense/(income). Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities/(assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to/(recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the period as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense/(income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.
Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. With respect to nondepreciable items of property, plant and equipment measured at fair value and items of investment property measured at fair value, the related deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is measured on the basis that the carrying amount of the asset will be recovered entirely through sale.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
32
Codeifai Limited Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
G. Tax consolidation
The Company and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries have formed a taxconsolidated group with effect from 6 April 2004 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity of the tax-consolidated group is Codeifai Limited. Codeifai Limited is responsible for recognising the current and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the consolidated group. The tax-consolidated group has entered into a tax sharing agreement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion into their contribution to the taxable profit of the tax-consolidated group.
H. Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in, first-out principle. In the case of manufactured inventories, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
I. Intangible assets and goodwill
i. Recognition and measurement
| Goodwill | Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at |
|---|---|
| cost less accumulated impairment losses. | |
| Research and | Expenditure on research activities is recognised in profit or loss as |
| development | incurred. |
| Development expenditure is capitalised only if the expenditure | |
| can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically | |
| and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are | |
| probable and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources | |
| to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, | |
| it is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial | |
| recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost less | |
| accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment | |
| losses. | |
| Intellectual property | Intellectual property and patent licence rights that are acquired |
| and patent licence | by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost |
| rights | less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated |
| impairment losses. |
- ii. Subsequent expenditure
33
Codeifai Limited Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
iii. Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives when the asset is in its intended use, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill is not amortised.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:
-
Intellectual property 5 – 20 years
-
Patent licence rights 15 years
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
J. Financial instruments
i. Initial Recognition and measurement
Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially recognised at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
ii. Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities – Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.
iii. Derecognition
Financial liabilities
The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are
34
Codeifai Limited Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.
K. Share Capital
i. Ordinary shares
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity. Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction is accounted for in accordance with AASB 132.
L. Compound financial instruments
Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible notes denominated in Australian dollar that can be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued is fixed and does not vary with changes in fair value.
The liability component of compound financial instruments is initially recognised at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion. The equity component is initially recognised at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instruments as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured.
Interest related to the financial liability is recognised in profit or loss. On conversion at maturity, the financial liability is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognised.
M. Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and other 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 nonfinancial 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.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
N. Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components when they are
35
Codeifai Limited Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
recognised at fair value. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance.
The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
O. Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
7. New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Consolidated Entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
8. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
Management determines operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
The CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the consolidated financial statements.
Types of products and services
For the year ended 31 December 2024, management considers the Group to offer its client base a complete end-to-end service and product offering, hence considering its main operations to be represented by one business segment apart from a minor specialised anti-counterfeit material operation.
The bundled “complete solution offering” encompasses a range of products and services which are available to customers, including:
-
Digital engagement platform that provides brand protection and consumer engagement and track ‘n’ trace solutions for product provenance and ESG compliance;

Patent Licence Rights
Effective in December 2017, the Group acquired patented licence rights from M.I.T. to develop and commercialise serialised smartphone readable authentication technologies. MotifMicro is invisible technology which works whereby the smartphone becomes the authentication device for uncopiable, invisible and indestructible physical marking technology. The Group in its own right holds potentially valuable patents over smartphone readable authentication technology including a Patent covering the use of a mobile device to interact with a physical security material which comprises a phosphor (U.S. app 14/441,470 with a priority date of 2013) GRANTED October 5th 2021 and China SIPO Patent (201310109929.3) which covers two or more light energy responsive materials excited by a smartphone camera (GRANTED December 2021).
In January 2025, the Company mutually terminated the exclusive Patent license agreement with M.I.T. over the potential serialisation of MotifMicro for what the Company has termed “MM2”. In the analysis of the Patent License Rights, the Company has discounted the revenue potential of “MM2” for which patented Licence Rights were acquired in 2017. MotifMicro potential customers (including previously announced paid commercial trials) remain interested to engage in further trials and potential commercialisation, however the patent licence rights have not commenced amortisation, and impairment adjustments have been recorded to reflect its assessed carrying amount. MotifMicro’s development in 2023/24 had advanced through a number of technological achievements together with customers that signed first-adopter agreements to expedite its commercialisation in the market. The company is awaiting the outcome of the strategic review of the Material Science division before embarking on further technical development of MotifMicro in the future.
42
Codeifai Limited Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
A rigorous management exercise in impairment testing indicated that the recoverable amount of the patent licence rights were lower than the carrying amount and therefore an impairment adjustment was considered necessary as at 31 December 2024. The valuation methodology (‘value in use’ or ‘VIU’) model reflects updated forecasts and progress made on the MotifMicro technology.
The following key assumptions and results arising from the VIU methodology applied are as follows:
-
Revenue growth from conversion of forecast sales pipeline for FY2025 with an annual long-term growth rate of 12.5% until 2029 that follows the industry growth rate with a long-term annual growth rate of 2% thereafter;
-
Discounted cash flow modelling to 2037 with no terminal value;
-
A WACC of 25% (post-tax) assuming a long-term debt/equity ratio of nil; and
-
The group securing sufficient funding in future periods to continue as a going concern.

22. Financial instruments
Financial risk management
The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
-
Credit risk;
-
Liquidity risk; and
-
Market risk
i. Risk Management framework
Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('Finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Group and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group's operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.
ii. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counter-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers. The carrying amounts of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
Trade receivables
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk associated with the industry and country in which customers operate.
The Group limits its exposure to credit risk from trade receivables by establishing a maximum payment period of one month. In monitoring credit risk, customers are grouped according to their risk characteristics, including their industry, trading history with the Group and existence of previous financial difficulties.
At 31 December 2024 and 2023, the exposure to credit risk for trade receivables by geographic region was as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents
As at 31 December 2024, the Group held cash and cash equivalents of $385,901 (2023: $567,572). The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank, which are AA1- to AA+, based on S&P ratings. The Group considers that its cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of the counterparty.
iii. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:
-
Preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operating, investing and financing activities;
-
Obtaining funding from a variety of sources;
-
Managing credit risk related to financial assets; and
-
Only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions.
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include contractual interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.
| Consolidated – 2024 In $ Trade and other payables Financial liabilities Consolidated – 2023 In $ Trade and other payables Financial liabilities |
Carrying amount 1 year or less Between 1 and 5 years 3,268,400 3,268,400 - 747,190 747,190 - |

|
| 4,607,082 4,607,082 - |
It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts.
iv. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices – e.g. foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices – will affect the Group’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.

Codeifai Limited Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
Currency risk
The Group is exposed to transactional foreign currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchases, receivables and borrowings are denominated and the respective functional currencies of Group companies. The functional currencies of Group companies are primarily the Chinese Yuan (RMB), Thai Baht (THB), and US Dollar (USD). The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are RMB, THB, and USD.
Exposure to currency risk
The summary quantitative data about the Group’s exposure to currency risks as reported to the management of the Group is as follows:
| Consolidated - 2024 Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Consolidated - 2023 Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables |
RMB THB USD $ $ $ 100,244 2,625,761 2,522 916,932 - 38,125 (591,887) (2,748,650) (60,802) |

Sensitivity Analysis
Based on the financial instruments held at 31 December 2024, had the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, the Group’s post-tax profit for the period would have been $3,000 lower/higher (2023: $9,000 lower/higher).
Had the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against the Chinese Yuan with all other variables held constant, the Group’s post-tax profit for the period would have been $9,000 higher/lower (2023: $1,500 higher/lower).
Had the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against the Thai Baht with all other variables held constant, the Group’s post-tax profit for the period would have been $600 higher/lower (2023: $2,000 higher/lower).
v. Fair value of financial instruments
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.

- Loans from s708 investors
On March 6[th] 2025 the Company raised loan funds in the sum of $160,000 from s708 investors through a mandate with Oakley Capital Pty Ltd. The loans are unsecured, have a face value of $1.20 of any loan amount advanced and any issue of shares or options under the Loan terms are subject to shareholder approval at an upcoming General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders.
Other than the above, no matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2024 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Consolidated Entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the Consolidated Entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF CODEIFAI LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Codeifai Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, 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 policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion the financial report of Codeifai Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2024 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the consolidated entity in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & 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.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2(i) in the financial report, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $2,514,767 during the year ended 31 December 2024 and, as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $2,753,188.
PKF Brisbane Pty Ltd is a member of PKF Global, the network of member firms of PKF International Limited, each of which is a separately owned legal entity and does not accept any responsibility or liability for the actions or inactions of any individual member or correspondent firm(s). Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
==> picture [126 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
As stated in Note 2(i), these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2(i), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
1. Impairment testing of intangible assets – Patent Licence Rights
Why significant
- As at 31 December 2024 the carrying value of patent licence rights was $5,005,796 (2023: $5,173,093), as disclosed in Note 16. This represents 80% (2023: 81%) of total assets of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity’s accounting policy in respect of intangible assets is outlined in Note 6(i). An annual assessment for impairment indicators for intangible assets is required under Australian Accounting Standard (AASB) 136 Impairment of Assets . The development and commercialisation of the underlying technology (Motif Micro) is ongoing, which has increased the uncertainty of forecasted cash flows and delayed the crystallisation of revenue pipelines.
Management performed a valuation of the carrying value of the patent licence rights as at 31 December 2024. As a result, an impairment of the patent licence rights of $685,696 was expensed in 2024 (2023: $576,473).
The evaluation of the recoverable amount requires the consolidated entity to exercise significant judgement in determining the key assumptions, which include:
How our audit addressed the key audit matter Our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:
-
reviewing and challenging the business plan and budget management prepared for forecast cash inflows and outflows to be generated by Motif Micro from FY25 to FY29;
-
assessing and challenging the growth rates used in the forecast models, including comparing the growth rate in the industry;
-
testing, on a sample basis, the mathematical accuracy of the cash flow models;
-
agreeing inputs in the cash flow models in the valuation report to relevant data including approved budgets and latest forecasts; and
-
assessing the appropriateness of t disclosures including those relating sensitivities in the assumptions use included in Note 16.
-
the period of cash flow forecasts included;
-
terminal value growth factor; and
-
discount rate. The outcome of the impairment assessment could vary if different assumptions were applied. As a result, the evaluation of the recoverable
==> picture [126 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Why significant
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
amount of intangible assets is an area of significant estimation and judgement.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the consolidated entity’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2024, 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 Company 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:
-
i. the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
-
ii. the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity or to cease operations, or has 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,
==> picture [126 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
[A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/ Home.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.]
