PhosCo Ltd Directors' report 31 December 2025

==> picture [65 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the Consolidated Entity (referred to hereafter as the 'Consolidated Entity') consisting of PhosCo Ltd (referred to hereafter as the 'Company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2025(half-year).

Directors

The following persons were directors of PhosCo Limited during the financial half-year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:

Mr Robin Widdup (Chairman) Mr Tarecq Aldaoud (Managing Director) Mr Mehdi Ben Abdallah (Executive Director) Mr Sam Lancuba (Non-Executive Director)

Principal activities

During the half-year ended 31 December 2025, the Consolidated Entity's principal activities are the exploration for development and realisation of mineral resource projects in Tunisia.

Review of operations

Financial Performance

For the half-year the Consolidated Entity has incurred a loss after income tax of $2,532,193 (31 December 2024: loss of $4,790,211).

Operating expenses for the half-year were $1,867,838 (31 December 2024: $786,768). The overall increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by higher employment costs and legal expenses. During the half-year, the Company resumed paying directors, following a period in which director remuneration had been paused. Legal costs increased during the halfyear as the Company undertook actions to defend its interests against the arbitration initiated by former joint venture partner Tunisian Mining Services (TMS) in relation to Chaketma Phosphates S.A (CPSA). PhosCo and Celamin have defended these claims and on 1 October 2025, the Company announced that ICC has terminated the action. The ICC Secretariat has held TMS to have breached the ICC rules for non-payment of fees and has withdrawn the action against both PhosCo and Celamin Pty Ltd.

In addition, increases in non ‑ cash share ‑ based payment expenses reflects the securities issued to directors in the previous reporting periods.

Financial Position

At 31 December 2025, the Consolidated Entity had cash and cash equivalents of $2,260,858 (30 June 2025: $3,358,081). The Consolidated Entity invested $837,119 on Gasaat exploration activities including $450,178 on feasibility studies during the half-year. These feasibility study related expenses are funded by a funding arrangement with European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to advance the Gasaat Phosphate Project.

The Consolidated Entity was in a net liability position of $3,689,072 as at 31 December 2025 (30 June 2025: net liabilities of $5,523,766), due to substantial carried forward liabilities associated with CPSA.

Directors would like to draw your attention to balances associated with CPSA. The Consolidated Entity consolidates the 51% owned CPSA that previously held the Chaketma permit in Tunisia. The Consolidated Accounts recognise CPSA’s liabilities due to former joint venture partner TMS despite these amounts being disputed by CPSA and also ring fenced within CPSA. CPSA’s currently does not hold any permits nor have any operations, and subject to full compliance with applicable law, PhosCo does not intend to provide further investment in CPSA, including paying any amount claimed by TMS. Celamin formally terminated the CPSA JV on 14 May 2025 based on TMS’s repeated non-performance and ongoing breaches.

The analysis below seeks to provide a clearer picture of the financial position adjusting for these anomalies. The Consolidated Entity's net asset position after adjusting for convertible notes and contested liabilities is presented herein based on the legal structure of the active members of the Consolidated Entity:

CPSA's obligations for the unsecured cash call and related liabilities due to TMS and other trade and other payables are neither secured nor have been guaranteed by PhosCo Ltd or its subsidiary and owner of the 51% interest in CPSA, Celamin Limited. Accordingly, the obligation for any potential future settlement of these obligations is the sole obligation of CPSA. Both the unsecured cash calls and related liabilities due to TMS and a number of trade and other payables incurred by CPSA prior to the Consolidated Entity gaining control in October 2021 are disputed by the Consolidated Entity. The ultimate resolution of this dispute subject to inherently uncertain legal and commercial processes and negotiations. Neither PhosCo nor Celamin have provided any security or guarantee in respect of CPSA's obligations. Furthermore, CPSA has unpaid obligations to Celamin amounting to $7,710,847, which are eliminated on consolidation in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.

It should also be noted that the Consolidated entity has a separate entitlement to the recovery of the TND denominated Arbitration Award of $8,909,706, from TMS, which are not recognised in these financial statements by CPSA or PhosCo as detailed further in note 16.

Dividends

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial half-year.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

On 30 October 2025, EBRD entered into a funding arrangement with PhosCo through its subsidiary Himilco for €1M (~$1.8M), to advance its Gasaat Phosphate Project. The funding is specifically earmarked for technical work prioritising project optimisation, including low strip deposits which will enhance the Gasaat project’s economics early in its life.

Linked to the funding arrangement, PhosCo and EBRD have agreed to issue 150,000,000 Options (EBRD Options) exercisable at $0.050 (5 cents), consistent with the terms set out in its Mandate Letter announced on 11 March 2025. The Options provide EBRD with the right ( but not the obligation ) to invest 120 days after the release of PhosCo’s Updated Scoping Study.

60,000,000 EBRD Options were issued on 3 November 2025. An additional 90,000,000 Options were issued on 22 December 2025.

The EBRD Options will expire on the earlier of

  • (i) 120 days from the release of an Updated Scoping Study and

  • (ii) 31 January 2028.

On 3 November 2025, the Company’s Managing Director Mr. Tarecq Aldaoud exercised 21,412,332 Options at an exercise price of $0.050 (5 cents) per option. Following this exercise, the Company issued 21,412,332 ordinary shares and received $1,070,617.

PhosCo Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:

Suite 2, Level 11, 385 Bourke Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000 Australia

A description of the nature of the Consolidated Entity's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 16 March 2026. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

Note 2. Material accounting policy information

Basis of preparation

These general-purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2024 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 , as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting .

These general-purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2025 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

The accounting policies adopted, methods of computation and areas of critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early 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.

The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Consolidated Entity.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Consolidated Entity reported a net loss of $2,532,193 (31 December 2024: $4,790,211) and incurred operating cash outflows of $1,623,707 during the half-year ended 31 December 2025. As at 31 December 2025, the Consolidated Entity had a net deficit of $3,689,072 and a net working capital deficit of $5,293,141 (30 June 2025: $5,523,766 and $6,308,264), respectively.

The Consolidated Entity continues to focus on exploration, evaluation and development activities at its mineral resource projects in Tunisia and is currently without an operating cash inflow.

Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)

As a result of these matters there is an indication of a material uncertainty that may cast doubt upon the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Notwithstanding the above results and financial position, the Directors determined that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate in preparing the financial report. The assessment of the going concern assumption is based on the Consolidated Entity’s cash flow projections and application of a number of judgements and estimates.

Liabilities associated with Chaketma Phosphates S.A. (CPSA)

The Consolidated Entity’s net asset deficiency and working capital deficits were largely associated with PhosCo's subsidiary CPSA and escalated risk is due to the legal outcomes with its former Joint Venture partner Tunisian Mining Services SARL (TMS). Although PhosCo has recovered the 51% interest and management control of CPSA in October 2021, the Company notes risk arising from various criminal and civil actions related to the execution of the Arbitral Award remain before the Tunisian courts.

At 31 December 2025, CPSA, the Company’s subsidiary, had a total liability of $8,697,252 of which is $8,472,910 are contested and neither secured nor have been guaranteed by PhosCo or its subsidiary and owner of the 51% interest in CPSA, Celamin Limited. These contested liabilities include trade and other payables of $1,226,181 (including $464,118 payable to TMS) and $7,246,730 of unsecured cash call liabilities, inclusive of accrued and unpaid interest payable to TMS, denominated in Tunisia Dinar (30 June 2025: $7,237,710).

The Consolidated Entity has undertaken a forensic accounting exercise since gaining control of CPSA in October 2021, as a result of which it has identified a further $433,337 of the remaining $1,226,181 in CPSA's trade and other payables which were incurred contrary to the terms of its joint venture agreement with TMS, CPSA's articles of association and Tunisian Corporate Law.

The Consolidated Entity has instigated legal claims contesting the validity of the amounts owing. The Consolidated Entity formally terminated the CPSA Joint Venture Agreement on 14 May 2025 based on TMS’s repeated non-performance and ongoing breaches. CPSA JV no longer holds any permits or permit applications and subject to full compliance with applicable law, PhosCo does not intend to provide further investment to the CPSA joint venture. The Consolidated Entity will defend its rights and obligations and ensure that only those obligations which have been legally verified will be settled in accordance with the terms of any relevant agreement with the respective counterparties.

The Consolidated Entity, as a result of the Arbitration Award of 17 November 2017 and enforcement by the Tunisian Court of Cassation in September 2019, also continues to execute this award, having received its shares in CPSA and management control as well as pursuing outstanding costs, damages and accrued unpaid interest owing to the Consolidated Entity which as of the date of this report amounts to $8,909,706 (TND 17,177,818). For further details of the Arbitration Award, refer to note 16. As a result of these uncertainties, the Directors do not expect the liabilities associated with CPSA to become due and payable within the next 12 months.

Other funding alternatives

The Consolidated Entity continues to focus on exploration, evaluation and development activities at its mineral resource projects in the Republic of Tunisia. The Consolidated Entity may be required to raise additional capital to advance its projects and fund its ongoing working capital requirements. The assessment of the going concern assumption is based on the Consolidated Entity’s cash flow projections, which includes the following features:

  • On 18 February 2026, the Company announced that it has secured firm commitments from new and existing sophisticated and professional investors to raise $5.0 million (before costs) by issuing 41,666,667 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.12 per share. On 26 February 2026, the Company successfully completed the Placement, raising net proceeds of $4.7 million after transaction costs.

  • As announced on 30 October 2025, EBRD entered into a funding arrangement to PhosCo through its subsidiary Himilco for €1 million (~$1.8 million), to advance its Gasaat Phosphate Project. Linked to the funding arrangement, PhosCo issued 150,000,000 Options to EBRD which are exercisable at $0.050 (5 cents), consistent with the terms set out in its Mandate Letter announced on 11 March 2025.

  • Raising additional capital through the Company's existing placement capacity;

  • Subject to negotiation and approval, minimum work requirements may be varied or suspended, and/or permits may be surrendered or cancelled; and

  • Meeting its obligations by farm-out of the Consolidated Entity’s exploration interests.

Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)

While no assurances can be given about future ability to finance the Consolidated Entity’s activities, PhosCo has a proven past track record of raising funds and invested in Tunisia, and the Directors believe the Company given the potential of the projects can raise future funds to pursue its business strategy and meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

The Directors continue to monitor the ongoing funding requirements of the Consolidated Entity and are confident that sufficient funds can be secured through further capital raising to continue.

Accordingly, the Directors believe that the Consolidated Entity, despite the material inherent uncertainties outlined herein, will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.

Based upon the aforementioned assumptions, the directors of the Consolidated Entity have applied the going concern basis of accounting in these financial statements. In the event that all or some of these assumptions do not eventuate, this may mean that the actual amounts of assets and liabilities may differ from the amounts recorded for assets and liabilities in the financial statements, should the entity not continue as a going concern.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. There are no critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions that are likely to affect the current or future financial years.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

Note 4. Operating segments

AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about the components of the consolidated entity that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Makers ("CODM") in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The consolidated entity is currently organised into one operating segment: exploration and development of resource projects in North Africa.

This operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are the CODM) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

Geographic segment information

The Consolidated Entity operates in one principle geographic segment: Tunisia.

Note 9. Other assets

EBRD feasibility funding

On 30 October 2025, EBRD entered into a funding arrangement with PhosCo through its subsidiary Himilco for €1M (~$1.8M), to advance its Gasaat Phosphate Project. The funding is specifically earmarked for technical work prioritising project optimisation, including low strip deposits which will enhance the Gasaat project’s economics early in its life.

Linked to the funding arrangement, PhosCo and EBRD have agreed to issue 150,000,000 Options (EBRD Options) exercisable at $0.050 (5 cents), consistent with the terms set out in its Mandate Letter announced on 11 March 2025. The Options provide EBRD with the right ( but not the obligation ) to invest 120 days after the release of PhosCo’s Updated Scoping Study.

60,000,000 EBRD Options were issued on 3 November 2025. An additional 90,000,000 Options were issued on 22 December 2025.

The EBRD Options will expire on the earlier of

(i) 120 days from the release of an Updated Scoping Study and (ii) 31 January 2028.

The Consolidated Entity has undertaken a forensic accounting exercise since gaining control of CPSA in October 2021, as a result of which it has identified $903,316, in trade and other payables which were incurred contrary to the terms of its joint venture agreement with TMS, CPSA's articles of association and Tunisian corporate law. The Consolidated Entity will defend its rights and obligations and ensure that only those obligations which have been legally verified will be settled in accordance with the terms of any relevant agreement with the respective counterparties.

Unsecured TMS cash call obligations arise from transactions between TMS and CPSA recognised through to and including 2021, prior to the Consolidated Entity obtaining control over CPSA. The outstanding amount of $4,026,673 (30 June 2025: $4,113,848) is denominated in Tunisian Dinar (TND). There have been no movements in the underlying TND value of the borrowings subsequent to the Consolidated Entity gaining control over CPSA in October 2021.

The outstanding, unpaid cash call balances incur interest at 8% p.a and are denominated in TND. During the half-year ended 31 December 2025, interest expense of $166,018 (31 December 2024: $141,962) was recognised.

As detailed in note 2, all cash call liabilities and related interest payable to TMS have been the subject of a forensic financial and legal audit and are the subject of legal challenge, the outcome of which is uncertain. There have been no amendments in these financial statements to reflect the conclusions reached in the forensic audit undertaken, any such amendments to be reflected as and when and to the extent determined by the conclusion of legal proceedings.

Note 16. Contingent assets

On 29 November 2017 the sole Arbitrator appointed by the ICC to conduct the arbitration of the Consolidated Entity’s dispute with its former joint venture partner TMS found in favour of Celamin Limited. The Arbitrator ordered TMS, amongst other matters, to return Celamin Limited’s 51% shareholding in CPSA and to pay damages and costs totalling USD 2,358,000, plus Euro 1,252,936, AUD 260,597 and CHF 42,238, in addition to interest from the time of the issue of the Final Award until payment.

18

PhosCo Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2025

==> picture [65 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

Note 16. Contingent assets (continued)

The Final Award was affirmed by the Court of Cassation in Tunisia and is therefore enforceable within Tunisia. In accordance with the terms of the Tunisian Code of Obligations and contracts, all executory awards must be defined in TND, and the damages were converted for execution to TND 11,846,595 and thereafter incur interest at 5.5% per annum on any unpaid balances. The Consolidated Entity’s entitlement, including accrued interest as of 31 December 2025 is $8,909,706 (TND 17,177,818).

The Consolidated Entity had its 51% interest in CPSA legally restored following the appointment of a court appointed independent expert, reducing TMS to 49%. Although PhosCo has recovered the 51% interest, the Company notes that various criminal and civil actions related to the execution of the arbitration orders remain before the courts. The Consolidated Entity continues to pursue TMS for the outstanding costs and damages by forcing the seizure and sale of TMS assets and other means, the objective of which is to recover funds to offset the damages and costs owed and redefine the amounts owed by CPSA to TMS.

Celamin formally terminated the CPSA JV on 14 May 2025 based on TMS’s repeated non-performance and ongoing breaches. On 6 June 2025, PhosCo and Celamin received a request for a further ICC arbitration from TMS. PhosCo and Celamin have defended these claims and on 1 October 2025, the Company announced that ICC has terminated the action. The ICC Secretariat has held TMS to have breached the ICC rules for non-payment of fees and has withdrawn the action against both PhosCo and Celamin Pty Ltd.

The Consolidated Entity’s ability to realise the entitlements accruing from the damages are subject to the ability to obtain the benefits awarded. The Consolidated Entity reserves the right to use the means necessary to execute the Award, this being subject to the resolution of various legal challenges from the respective parties. Due to these uncertainties, receipts from TMS damages and costs remains unrecognised in the financial statements.

Note 17. Contingent liabilities

Success fees and deferred benefits payable in respect of the resolution of the arbitration and subsequent related procedures are payable to the Company's arbitration lawyers as follows:

  • A fixed amount of Euro 300,000 payable to Brown Rudnick upon recovery of Celamin’s 51% interest in Chaketma; and

  • ● An additional amount payable to Brown Rudnick equal to 2% of any damages awarded in favour of Celamin in the Final Award, payable upon payment of those damages and/or transfer to Celamin of an increased percentage interest in CPSA in lieu of payment of such damages; and

The Company notes that these contingent liabilities require successful conclusion of the arbitration proceedings that remain subject to existing and potential litigation, including but not limited to various actions related to the enforcement of the arbitration orders remain before the courts, including actions challenging the Company’s enforcement, clarification of the financial state of CPSA and the status of the CPSA equity. Furthermore, on 19 December 2022 CPSA received the Minister’s Decision rejecting the application and terminating the validity of CPSA’s exploration permit, creating further uncertainty around the successful conclusion of the arbitration proceedings. Accordingly, the conditions applicable to the contingent liabilities have not been triggered.

The element of the success fee dependent upon the settlement by TMS of any damages awarded is due and payable at and when this occurs. Due the uncertainties and the fact that payments are not sufficiently probable, the success fee remains unrecognised in the financial statements.

The Consolidated Entity's do not have any other contingent liabilities at the reporting date.

As at 31 December 2025, the Consolidated Entity had 179,451,441 listed options and 3,000,000 performance rights, which are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Because the Consolidated Entity is in a net loss position, the inclusion of potential ordinary shares in the diluted earnings per share calculation would be anti-dilutive.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $2,532,193 and incurred operating cash outflows of $1,623,707 during the half year ended 31 December 2025 and, as of that date, the Group had a net deficit of $3,689,072 and a net working capital deficit of $5,293,141. As stated in Note 2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, 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 Company 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.
