Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $5,289,892 during the half year ended 31 December 2025, and for that period, the Group’s cash outflows from operating and investing activities were $5,658,451. As stated in Note 3, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no qualification in the Independent Auditors’ Review Report in respect of this matter but, rather, a paragraph pertaining to material uncertainties over going concern. Refer Independent Auditors’ Review Report.

Interim financial statements
For the half-year ended 31 December 2025
Directors’ Report
The Directors of FBR Limited (“the Company”) present their report together with the financial statements of the Consolidated Entity, being FBR (‘the Company’) and its controlled entities (‘the Group’) for the half-year ended 31 December 2025.
Director details
The following persons were Directors of the Company during or since the end of the financial half-year:
Mr Mark Pivac (Chief Executive Officer )
Ms Shannon Robinson (Non-Executive Chair)
Mr Glenn Cooper (Non-Executive Director) (appointed 1 October 2025) Mr Lindsay Partridge AM (Non-Executive Director) (appointed 9 February 2026) Mr Richard Grellman AM (Non-Executive Director) (retired 1 October 2025) Ms Nancy Milne (Non-Executive Director) (retired 1 October 2025)
Review of operations and financial results
During the half-year ended 31 December 2025, the Group generated $551,558 in revenue, down approximately $42,306 on the previous period, derived largely from the sale of USA specification Mack truck vehicles previously held in Inventory, together with revenue recognised from the Samsung Heavy Industries development contract.
During the period, FBR focused on formalising its dual-engine growth strategy, transitioning from a Hadrian®-centric technology company to a commercial enterprise with both global export and domestic construction capabilities across a diversified product suite.
In July 2025, the Company launched its second DST®-powered robotic product, Mantis™. Mantis™ is an advanced eight metre reach robotic welder that simplifies heavy fabrication automation. It directly addresses critical industry challenges such as skilled labour shortages, productivity bottlenecks, and the need for adaptable automation. Mantis™ was launched to demonstrate that FBR’s DST® platform for long boom stabilised robots could be applied to other industries and use cases, and its launch signalled FBR’s transition to a commercial enterprise with a diversified product suite underpinned by its world-leading core technology. Subsequent to the end of the period, FBR presold a Mantis™ unit under a binding conditional purchase order to a customer in Louisiana, United States. The first Mantis™ units are expected to be ready for delivery in the second half of the 2026 calendar year.
In October 2025, the Company completed Factory Acceptance Testing of its newest Hadrian® unit, and subsequently set a new record for effective square metres of wall per hour by using large format Wienerberger Porotherm blocks. H04 achieved a delivery speed of approximately 36 square metres of wall per hour, building the entire test structure in one hour and 21 minutes including nine minutes total of production delays. Following this positive test, the Company formalised its strategy, competitive landscape analysis, and operational roadmap for Hadrian Homes, a vertically integrated
1
construction entity designed to shift FBR from a technology vendor to a leading provider in the Australian residential market. The Hadrian Homes model will utilise the Hadrian® alongside complementary robotic systems and offsite Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) to capture the full value chain and address chronic housing supply constraints.
Additionally, the Company has been developing custom robots on a contract R&D basis, in particular for Samsung Heavy Industries for a shipbuilding application. FBR sees contract R&D as a good revenue source moving forward.
During the period, the Company executed a comprehensive $22 million funding strategy to strengthen its balance sheet and provide essential working capital to advance its dual-engine growth strategy.
On 6 August 2025, FBR announced the execution of a financing agreement with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS for a $20 million Share Subscription Facility over a three-year period. This facility provides FBR with discretionary working capital, allowing the Company to draw down funds in tranches in exchange for issuing new shares.
Subsequently, on 8 August 2025, the Company announced firm commitments for a $1 million private Placement, issuing approximately 222.2 million fully paid ordinary shares to sophisticated and professional investors at an issue price of $0.0045 per share. In conjunction with the Placement, FBR launched a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to allow eligible retail shareholders to participate at the same $0.0045 issue price, targeting up to an additional $1 million.
The Placement shares were formally issued and allotted on 18 August 2025, with the SPP shares following on 5 September 2025. Funds raised across the Placement, SPP, and subsequent initial drawdowns from the GEM facility were allocated toward the commissioning of the additional Hadrian unit, the development of new DST®-enabled products including the Mantis™ robotic welder, advancing the collaboration with Samsung Heavy Industries, and repaying existing debt facilities.
The loss for the period was $5,289,892 (2024: $16,867,245) including an R&D tax rebate of $2,489,394, cost of goods sold of $528,661 professional services, corporate administration, director and employee remuneration of $4,502,047, development costs of $265,191, and non-cash sharebased payments, depreciation, amortisation and impairment of $2,764,089.
Events Subsequent to the end of the period
Operations
Subsequent to the end of the period, the Company launched its new autonomous refractory lining robot, Firehawk™. Firehawk™ addresses a frequently requested use-case of relining ladles used in steelmaking. The robot handles the complete reline – scanning the ladle to map its unique geometry, compensating for wear and deformation, then placing insulating sand and refractory bricks. Early interest in Firehawk™ has been strong and FBR anticipates bringing the first Firehawk™ online in the 2027 calendar year.
Finance
Subsequent to the end of the period, the Group:
-
Disposed of fixed assets in January and February 2026, for proceeds of $527,909;
-
On 12 February 2026, drew down from its R&D tax refund facility (refer note 14) $770,994 which pertained to eligible costs connected with its financial year 2026 R&D claim; and
2
-
Received $195,060 and $213,025 on 23 January 2026 and 6 February 2026 respectively from drawdowns using its GEM facility (refer note 16).
-
On 27 February 2026, entered into a secured senior loan facility of $610,000 with Avior Asset Management No.11 Pty Ltd to fund short term working capital. The facility matures 1 month from commencement and bears interest at 2.5% per week, together with establishment and break fees.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1 Nature of operations
FBR Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled subsidiaries (“the Group”) designs, develops and builds dynamically stabilised robots to address global needs. FBR has secured patents to protect its intellectual property rights in its technology in key markets.
2 General information and basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements (‘the interim financial statements’) of the Group are for the six (6) months ended 31 December 2025 and are presented in Australian Dollars ($AUD), which is the functional currency of the Parent Company.
These general purpose interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, and should be read in conjunction with the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2025 as well as any public announcements made by the Company during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001.
The interim financial statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 27 February 2026.
3 Going Concern
The Consolidated Financial Report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Group incurred a net loss of $5,289,892 during the half-year ended 31 December 2025, inclusive of a non-cash impairment and net realisable value write-down charge of $1,138,205. The Group’s net cash outflows from operating and investing activities totalled $5,658,451 for the year. Cash reserves reported as at 31 December 2025 are $870,182. These conditions cast doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a Going concern.
Subsequent to period end, the Company has been able to maintain its cash balance, currently $921,229. Funding of this balance has included:
-
Sale of assets in January and February 2026, to raise $527,909;
-
On 12 February 2026, draw down from its R&D funding facilities of $770,994 pertaining to its financial year 2026 R&D claim; and
-
On 23 January 2026 and 6 February 2026, receipt of $195,060 and $213,025 respectively from drawdowns using its GEM facility.
Further to the above, on 27 February 2026, the Company entered into a secured senior loan facility of $610,000 with Avior Asset Management No.11 Pty Ltd to fund short term working capital. The facility matures 1 month from commencement and bears interest at 2.5% per week, together with establishment and break fees.
10
In forming the view that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate, the Directors and Management have based their assessment on the facts and circumstances as of the date of approval of the financial statements. The Directors and Management have based their assessment on cashflow forecast for the twelve months ending February 2027. These forecasts contain a key assumption as follows:
- From its R&D funding facilities available, the anticipated receipt of at least $1,783,631 in financing for an overseas finding claim that has been approved by Ausindustry. The Company has progressed this financing to a state where they believe, given the terms of its Master Facility Agreement with the financier, its history of financing requests with the financier, and confirmation from the financier of its ability and willingness to fund, that the possibility the funding is not received when anticipated in its cashflows is remote. All documentation required for the financing has been provided to the financier who have acknowledged the funding process specific to the request is now in its closing stages of documentation compilation and signing;
In addition to the above, the forecasts include:
-
Realisation of R&D incentive refunds from the ATO, which have been filed with the assistance of the Company’s R&D expert;
-
The continued advance financing, where required, of anticipated future R&D incentive claims under its Master Facility Agreement;
-
Drawdowns from its existing $20 million facility with GEM of which the Group has successfully accessed throughout the half-year period and subsequent to period end; and
-
The generation of positive cashflows from the sale of its Mantis product, based on having entered a binding (conditional) sales arrangement with a customer.
The extent of the achievement of the above key assumptions is inherently uncertain and there are elements outside of management’s control. In a situation where the Company is unable to realise these assumptions to the extent and timing required it will not maintain cash reserves adequate to settle its obligations as and when they fall due in the normal course of business without alternative sources of funding. These alternative sources would most likely be through access to capital markets such as in the form of either an equity placement or share-purchase plan. Given its historical ability to raise funds through these means as well as other means and the prospects of the sale of its products, management is confident that the Company can obtain the required alternative source funding should it be required.
Whilst the Directors are confident of the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, due to the factors mentioned above, there is material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Group is unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and or settle its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2026. The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Several amendments apply for the first time in 2026, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.
5 Estimates
When preparing the interim financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.
The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the interim financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025, other than referred to above.
Change in Estimate
In the prior financial year, as at 30 June 2025, the Group recognised an R&D Tax Incentive receivable of $3,830,710, based on the information available as at the date of signing the financial report.
During the current interim period, the Group changed its estimate based on new information received and new circumstances. This resulted in an upward revision of the estimated R&D Incentive for the year ended 30 June 2025 by $844,036, which has been recognised prospectively in these interim financial statements and included in the Research and Development Tax Refund line item in the Condensed Statement of Financial Position and Trade and Other Receivables as shown in Note 8.

Other prospective opportunities outside of this geographical location are also considered from time to time, and if they are secured, will then be attributed to the geographical location where they are located.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of FBR Limited does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- a giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and of its performance for the half year ended on that date; and
b complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia.

Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 3 in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $5,289,892 during the half year ended 31 December 2025 and, net cash outflows from operating and investing activities totalled $5,658,451 for the period. As stated in Note 3, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Directors’ responsibility for the half-year financial report
The Directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
