Brand solution technology group Codeifai Limited (ASX: CDE) presents highlights of activities for the quarter ended 31 March 2025 (Q1 2025).

As previously announced, the Company embarked in Q4 2024 on a revised “Digital First Engagement First” strategy a copy of can be found in this link .

So far in 2025 CDE is pleased with the immediate effects of the revised strategy which has seen advancements to its www.connectqr.ai (the latest module of CDE’s proven Connect[tm] SaaS platform) which holds strong financial opportunity for the Company due to its capacity to rapidly scale both revenue and profit. Additionally the global surge in the usage of QR codes and the growing range of applications served by them bodes well for the future of this strategy.

Since the launch of ConnectQR the Company has reached several significant milestones including integration with Canva, integration with several key platforms and the launch of a new URL shortener feature to name a few. With learnings from the initial launch of ConnectQR, an audit has been under taken to identify possible points of friction which have now been identified and addressed with the launch of a revised website in Q2 2025.

QR Code Market Expansion Driving Growth

QR codes continue to gain global prominence across industries - ranging from crypto payments and streaming services to retail, hospitality, and outdoor advertising. CDE is well-positioned to capitalise on this trend through its dual offering of the ConnectQR self-service SaaS platform and the Connect™ serialised brand protection solution.

QR codes continue to find applications across many industries and are becoming more important both as entry points to daily activities globally such as Crypto and Fund transfer payment platforms, QR codes on streaming services such as YouTube, account validation for platforms such as Netflix, simple payment methods such as paying a bill at a local restaurant, outdoor (OOH) advertising platforms and many more examples. As CDE further develops the ConnectQR self-service SaaS

Note to item 7.2 (above)

In Q3 2024 Codeifai signed a Loan Facility Agreement to provide up to $2 million in additional working capital with Harbour Capital Opportunities Fund Pty Limited (“HCOF”). Under the Loan Facility Agreement, Codeifai will be able to draw down $250,000 per month. The funding facility provides the Company with additional financial flexibility to focus on growing revenues from its Self-services SaaS AI analytic driven ConnectQR business. For the purpose of this 4C report, the Company has included the $2m HCOF Loan Facility in calculating available loan facilities as shareholder approval is being sought in the Notice of Annual General Meeting (AGM) dated May 8[th] 2025 and the Board has recommended that shareholders approve the Loan Facility.

The company entered into a loan facility with J F Houston Holdings Pty Limited (JFH) for A$750,000 as reported at the last Quarter 4C. Interest is payable on amounts advanced under the facility at a reference NAB facility rate plus 19%. The loan and interest are repayable by CDE in 12 months unless repaid earlier. The loan facility is convertible and secured, both subject to either shareholder approval or a waiver for the grant of the security. During the Quarter $370k was drawn under the facility.

On March 6[th] 2025 The Company entered loan facilities to raise A$160,000 from s708 investors, The details of these Loans were announced to the market on March 6[th] 2025.

Note to Item 7.3 (above)

The Company established an “At-The-Market” (ATM) equity-based facility with Dolphin Corporate Investments (DCI) on 2 November 2023, currently capped at 130m shares (just under 5% of the shares on issue). The facility’s capacity depends on share price and available capacity during the request and option exercise period, fluctuating over time. The Company cannot sell shares above the number of shares issued to DCI at any time which is currently 130m, or request DCI to exercise options above the nominated floor price. DCI may choose to decline or partially exercise options to buy shares.

The ATM is considered a “sold contingent option,” activated by the Company and subject to DCI’s discretion. To align with Australian Accounting Standards and ensure transparency, the Company has reported the ATM facility availability in item 7.3, reflecting conditions precedent for the funding.
