1 Includes $37,000 paid as director fees.

Manufacturing and Operating costs were impacted by several factors. In addition to the significantly increased day to day operating costs we have taken decisions to clear off obsolete and deteriorated inventory items throughout Australia in addition to writing down several idle and unused assets.

Staff costs reflect a sizeable drop which is mainly attributed to the change in shift patterns in the quieter months of Autumn and Winter as compared to Summer.

Final insurance settlement of $1,233,392 was received in June, pertaining to the Refresh Plastics fire in February 2023 which has helped strengthen our cash in bank position for year end

Refresh Waters

Our water business has once again delivered a strong year on year improvement for the quarter. Excluding the Darwin business (which has been closed prior to the commencement of this reporting year), the water business is reflecting a growth of 21% for the quarter compared to prior year. Water also delivered (excluding Darwin) an 18% growth over the prior year. The strength of the sales results we believe is a firm indicator as to the resilience of this segment and its ability to deliver top line growth.

Our results were strong across most states (excluding Darwin) with WA and Vic delivering 43% growth compared to the same period last year.

WA’s growth was partly assisted by a long, hot summer. The Perth site exceeded annual sales of $4m for the year for the first time and an annual growth of 24%. Kalgoorlie growth remains impressive and has seen an increase of 29% in revenue compared to the previous year. Several existing customers expanded their mining operations, and we saw the benefit of this.

NSW had a soft quarter reflecting a quarterly decline in revenue compared to prior year of 9%. However, the annual sales result was a solid 10% year on year growth. The HYDR8 business channel has contributed the most growth this year to the states result.

QLD remained solid in their respective markets, with 10% revenue growth in the period. Over the full year, QLD posted an 11% increase in sales and continues to secure new customers and service the major retailers.

VIC delivered a strong year-on-year growth with a 43% increase compared to the same quarter last year and an impressive 27% growth for the year. This is primarily driven by increased sales to a major supermarket chain. The continued growth is despite the relocation of premises.

The overall business has continued to see major cost pressure from utilities, rents, labour and materials all of which have impacted the bottom line performance compared to prior year. The team is focussed on stabilising its new cost base and reviewing pricing to help improve the business’ bottom line performance throughout the New Year ahead.

Refresh Plastics

Plastics delivered an impressive 64% growth for the quarter compared to prior year and a solid 35% for full year growth. The comparison is difficult to compare as the prior year was dramatically impacted as a direct result of the fire within the plastics business. The closure and

Page 2

relocation were major distractions for the team. With their support we have seen the improved sales results being reflected.

The business is focussed on improving its gross operating margins throughout all sites and securing new growth to help deliver an improved performance for the new year ahead.
