David Sproule - Executive Chairman Jess Oram - Executive Director Alistair Barton - Non-Executive Director
Company secretary
John Haley
Principal activities
The principal activities of the consolidated entity during the reporting period were the exploration, development and mining of mineral resources - in particular silver-lead and zinc. During the half-year, the first shipments of zinc and silver/lead concentrate were made from the Endeavor silver-lead-zinc mine in the Cobar Basin, NSW.
Dividends
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial half-year.
Review of operations
The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $34,539,748 (31 December 2024: $6,901,421).
Prior to the suspension of operations on 28 October, due to the mining incident that claimed the lives of two of our miners, the Company’s production performance started the December quarter strongly (Table 1). Operations recommenced on a staged basis in mid-November progressing to continuous mining by month end. Despite the challenges arising from the incident, the team has worked exceptionally well, with operational performance stabilising and returning to expected levels during the latter part of December.

Mining
Endeavor experienced reduced mine output during the period primarily reflecting the temporary suspension of operations in November.

Polymetals Resources Ltd Directors' report 31 December 2025
Access to the high silver grade UNL was achieved in September 2025, with first ore extracted from the uppermost 10120 level in the March quarter (Figure 1). The grades illustrated in Figure 1 are in keeping with expectations from this zone of the UNL. Minor amounts of UNL development ore have been blended with Main Lode ore and milled which helped to increase the grade of produced concentrate. Polymetals expects to mine approximately 400,000 tonnes of high grade UNL ore over the next two years.
Planning to develop the Deep Zinc Lode (DZL), located at the base of the existing Endeavor Mine (Figure 2) is well advanced and will require extension to the main decline. The DZL was last drilled in 2016 and remains open along strike and down dip. Polymetals will mine an exploration drill drive to provide access to allow further drilling to test extensions of the DZL. Mining the DZL aims to ‘fill the mill’ to its nameplate treatment capacity of 100,000 tonnes per month. The development of the DZL will be funded from cash flow and planned to commence in the June 2026 quarter and the production of ore from this zone is scheduled in H1 2027.
==> picture [495 x 345] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 1. Second development cut in UNL 10120 level 10/1/26 – duplicate site analyses returned average grades of 918g/t Silver, 7.63% Zinc and 26.65% Lead from an initial grab sample.
Milling
The Endeavor Mill commissioned in June 2025 has performed in line with expectations, with all major plant components operating reliably and routine maintenance delivering strong operational availability. Workforce training continues, with a focus on optimising metal recovery and enhancing revenues from the production of silver-lead and zinc concentrates. The production snapshot above summarises milled tonnes and concentrate output for the half-year period. Recoveries and concentrate production were impacted by the temporary production hiatus between late October and November 2025. In addition, reduced feed grades during the December quarter contributed to lower flotation recoveries. With mining and processing of higher-grade UNL now underway, mill feed grades have increased, This improvement is expected to support metal recoveries returning to modelled performance levels from January 2026.

Polymetals Resources Ltd Directors' report 31 December 2025
Concentrate transport
Transport of both zinc and silver-lead concentrate from Endeavor to Adelaide port Berth 29 can now be considered a routine operation. Qube Logistics haul half height containers via triple road trains: initially to its Broken Hill rail siding and then by rail to Adelaide. The containers are then emptied to bulk vessels and delivered to the Korea Zinc Onsan smelter, located in South Korea.
Workforce
At 31 December 2025, the Endeavor Mine employed 221 full time personnel. The Company has initiated an apprentice program to commence in June 2026 designed to develop local talent in Cobar and the broader region to support our long-term operational plans.
Endeavor Mine General Manager, Matthew Gill resigned on 10 December 2025.
The Company appointed Brad Stanmore to the position of Acting General Manager. Brad Stanmore formerly filled the role of General Manager, Maintenance at Endeavor and is a local Cobar resident.
Projects
Tailings
A resource of 5 million tonnes of high-grade ‘Sector 1’ tailings is included in the mine plan for flotation retreatment and is also being evaluated for potential recovery of precious metals. The Sector 1 tailings were generated during the initial five years of mining and processing operations at Endeavor. Gold hosted within pyrite, together with silver not recovered to the lead concentrate, is not expected to be recovered through conventional flotation. Accordingly, external independent metallurgical test work aimed at enhancing gold and silver recovery from retreated Sector 1 tailings is progressing. This work is assessing a conceptual, albeit relatively complex, retreatment flowsheet. Such a flowsheet would likely require a significant capital investment; successful development could, however, enhance project economics. Subject to positive outcomes, this pathway has the potential to extend the operating life of the Endeavor Mine and may provide the opportunity to process third-party feed sources.
CSA Mine Water Connection
The Company entered an arrangement with Metals Acquisition Corporation dated 27 May 2024, which included the sale of a proportion of Endeavor’s allocated water supply (up to 150ML p.a.) for 4.5 years as well as potential tolling of CSA Mine zinc ore. This water allocation is excess to Endeavor’s future requirements.
The Endeavor Mine has the largest allocation of water of all three mines in the Cobar Basin and an average of 250 ML of ground water is pumped from the mine annually. Further, the Endeavor Mine has a number of licenced water bores which are currently not tapped.
The connection by the CSA Mine to enable it to draw its allocated water supply from the Endeavor Mine pipeline was completed during the half-year.
Near Mine Exploration
Exploration activities during the half-year continued to advance near-mine targeting at Endeavor, supported by ongoing refinement of the structural and geological models. Drilling programs were primarily targeted at Carpark and Endeavor South corridors, testing structural and geophysical targets interpreted to be analogous to the Main Lode. The Carpark and Endeavor South corridors define a prospective zone of about 1500 metres (north-south) by 500 metres (east-west). Mineralisation targets within these corridors are characterised by relatively short strike length but demonstrate significant vertically continuity (see Figure 2 and 3).
At Carpark, extension drilling of holes PCP018 and PCP018A intersected zones of massive sulphide mineralisation containing economic grades over sub-economic widths. These intersections represent the first confirmation of significant sulphide development south of Main Lode. Follow-up hole PCP019 intersected multiple intervals of low-tenor lead-zinc mineralisation. Interpretation of newly developed alteration proxies derived from full-scan hand-held XRF data supports continued systematic drill testing along strike and down-dip.
4
Polymetals Resources Ltd Directors' report 31 December 2025
In parallel, preliminary interpretation of the recently completed passive seismic survey, which includes the Carpark prospect, has imaged a series of deep, moderately dipping (~45°) structures extending north and south of the Endeavor deposit. These features are interpreted as fundamental basin-scale structures that may have influenced basin architecture and acted as fluid pathways during mineralisation. Importantly, the structural interpretation indicates no defined southern limit to the Endeavor system. Further technical work is underway to integrate these seismic results with existing geological, geophysical and geochemical datasets to refine drill targeting.
Integration of new drilling data with geotechnical observations and underground mapping indicates that mineralised footprints in the upper levels of the system are typically narrow, with limited geochemical leakage beyond ore boundaries. Accordingly, disciplined, structurally constrained drilling remains critical to effectively test blind targets while avoiding over-drilling weak target vectors.
Carpark and Endeavor South remain high-priority targets, with exploration potential identified down-dip, along strike and within a sub-parallel corridor west of the Main Lode. Planned programmes include wedging off PCP019, extending PCP013 and PES015, selective short-hole percussion programs to map redox responses, and additional underground drilling of Western Lode positions proximal to existing workings.
While recent drilling has not yet delivered economic widths of mineralisation, the results continue to enhance geological understanding and are contributing to refinement of high-priority targets for the next phase of exploration.
Regional Exploration
Regional exploration activities during the half-year were directed toward advancing a pipeline of prospects to drill-ready status while also identifying new targets. The work covers the entire exploration tenure which covers an area of 1,100km[2] over the North Cobar Basin (Figure 4). Work is focused on integrating historical datasets with new geophysical, geological and geochemical information to refine targets and prioritise areas with the greatest potential to host Endeavor-style or Triton-style (Cu-Au) mineralisation.

Geophysics - Target Generation
Polymetals has designed a program of dipole–dipole induced polarisation (IP) surveying to test seven priority regional prospects; Furney’s Tank, Kiri, Ferricartup, Boundary Tank, No. 4 Tank, Cougar Tank and a traverse across three airborne electromagnetic (AEM) anomalies located in the northern portion of EL8762. The IP program comprises approximately 65 line-kilometres of survey coverage and is designed to detect chargeability and resistivity responses potentially associated with disseminated to massive sulphide mineralised systems.
Results from the IP program will be integrated with existing geological interpretations to assist in ranking prospects and defining specific drill locations. This disciplined approach is intended to ensure drilling is targeted, cost-effective and technically justified. Additional information on proposed drilling and follow-up regional programs will be provided once survey results and interpretations are complete.
Drilling - Target Testing
Polymetals has identified the following high priority targets to be tested by drilling:
-
No. 4 Tank – gold & copper target
-
Boundary Tank – gold & copper target
-
Furneys Tank – lead, zinc & gold target
-
Kiri – copper & zinc target

Polymetals Resources Ltd Directors' report 31 December 2025
Significant changes in the state of affairs
Refer to the Review of operations section for information on the mine operations.
In July 2025, the Ocean Partners UK Limited loan facility limit was reduced to US$10,000,000 (refer note 13).
On 14 July 2025, the Company issued 18,750,000 ordinary shares at $0.80 per share to raise $15,000,000 to replace the undrawn facility that is no longer available from Ocean Partners (refer note 16).
On 5 December 2025, Ocean Partners exercised 1,250,000 options at $1.00 per share (refer note 16).
On 11 December 2025, the Company issued 39,500,000 ordinary shares at $0.87 per share, which represented a 15.9% discount on the last traded price of $1.04 per share. The $34,365,000 raised (before share issue costs) is to be used for furthering near-mine drilling and exploration, and to strengthen the Company's balance sheet (refer note 16).
On 19 December 2025, 743,750 loan-funded shares vested and were issued under the loan-funded share plan. The loans are repayable only from the proceeds of the sale of the shares or their market value at the time of repayment (refer note 16).
There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial halfyear.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial half-year
Subsequent to 31 December 2025, the consolidated entity has proposed and the New South Wales government regulator has accepted a payment plan for approximately $6 million of the Environmental Bonds (refer note 19) to be paid progressively from 31 March 2026 to 31 March 2028.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2025 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.

The consolidated entity also has a proven ability to raise the necessary funding or settle debts via the issuance of shares, as evidenced by the raising of $38,483,500 in cash (before share issue transaction costs) from shares issued during the year ended 30 June 2025, and a further $15,000,000 and $34,365,000 in cash (before share issue transaction costs) from shares issued in July 2025 and December 2025 respectively. Regulation changes Unforeseen changes to the mining laws, regulations, standards and practices applicable may significantly affect the Exploration Licences in Guinea and the Endeavor Mine tenements in Australia and therefore the ability of the Company to operate in Guinea and Australia. Any such changes in Australia is monitored by the Company’s membership of AMEC which maintains a close watching brief of state and federal regulatory changes with regular updates circulated to members. The Company monitors its Guinea interests via its Country Manager, Mr Aguibou Bah. Ore Reserves and The consolidated entity is now in the early stages of production. A key risk is that the Ore production Reserves underground may be less extensive, or of lower grade, than currently estimated. This could result in reduced production volumes, higher operating costs, or a shorter mine life than planned. Ongoing drilling, geological modelling, and mine planning are undertaken to improve confidence in the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve base. The Board and Management maintain close oversight of production performance, mine planning, and reserve reconciliation to mitigate this risk.

Polymetals Resources Ltd Directors' report 31 December 2025
Endeavor mine The acquisition of the Endeavor Mine requires replacing the Vendors current guarantee for Rehabilitation Bonds of A$34.092 million within two years of the completion of the acquisition of the two entities that hold the Endeavor Mine (Cobar Operations Pty Ltd and Endeavor Operations Pty Ltd). Under the Share Sale Agreement, security has been granted over assets of Cobar Operations Pty Ltd and Endeavor Operations Pty Ltd in favour of the vendor of the Endeavor Mine, CBH Resources Ltd ('CBH'). If the Company is unable to replace the Rehabilitation Bonds within two years then CBH may enforce the security and take ownership of the assets of Cobar Operations Pty Ltd and Endeavor Operations Pty Ltd. If this were to occur, then this would present a significant strategic setback for the Company and could potentially threaten the Company's listing on the ASX and its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is now generating revenue and this could potentially be utilised to partly or wholly repay the bond. The Company has also commenced legal and technical due diligence as part of a potential refinancing process including replacement of the Bond.
Occupational health Exploration, operations and care and maintenance programs carry occupational health and safety risk and safety risks which remains well managed by training, site hygiene practices and qualified staff who have implemented industry standard operating and monitoring procedures.
In addition to these measures, the consolidated entity maintains comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation policies through Icare NSW, to address potential liabilities and provide financial support in the event of workplace incidents. These policies are designed to safeguard the consolidated entity and its employees against unforeseen events, ensuring compliance with statutory obligations and supporting the consolidated entity’s commitment to workplace safety.
The site accident which resulted in two fatalities is currently the subject of an internal review and external reviews by the relevant regulators. At this stage, no action has been taken against, or notified to, the Company. Any liability which may result (if any) is currently uncertain and unquantifiable.
Environmental regulation
The consolidated entity is subject to environmental regulations under Australian and international laws, including the Endeavor Mine in New South Wales. Mining and milling operations commenced in May 2025 and first shipments of concentrate occurred during the half-year. The consolidated entity continued to meet all regulatory obligations during this half-year.
Additionally, the consolidated entity holds mineral tenements in Guinea under the Guinea Mining Act 1992, which are subject to renewal and include standard environmental conditions. The Company complies with these conditions, and the directors are not aware of any non-compliance with environmental laws.
Auditor's independence declaration
A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out immediately after this directors' report.

Polymetals Resources Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2025
Note 1. Material accounting policy information
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2025 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 are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.
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.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the financial report.
During the half year ended 31 December 2025, the consolidated entity incurred a loss after tax of $34,539,748 and net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $29,301,729 and $846,993 respectively. Also, as at 31 December 2025 the consolidated entity had net current liabilities of $13,822,513. In addition, the consolidated entity had a commitment to pay $34,092,000 by 1 August 2026 of Environmental Bonds in favour of the Government of New South Wales to meet the environmental obligations of the Endeavor Mine tenements (refer to note 19).
The continuing viability of the consolidated entity is dependent upon the entity continuing its transition successfully as a mining producer, successful exploration activities and other external factors, such the price of the commodities.
These factors indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt as to whether the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The Directors have reviewed the cashflow forecast for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern. Consequently, the directors believe it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report. The directors’ assessment considered the following matters:
-
On 6 November 2024, the consolidated entity entered into a six-year offtake agreement for zinc and silverlead concentrates produced from the Endeavor Mine. The Company is able to obtain prepayments for concentrate production under this Offtake Agreement, and has utilised this prepayment facility in the half year, and may continue to do so;
-
The consolidated entity commenced productions and sales of product in July 2025. Revenue earned in the half-year ended 31 December 2025 was $39,386,182;
-
The consolidated entity is currently in negotiations to sell high grade silver ore from the Upper North lode area without on site processing (‘direct shipping ore’). If these negations are successfully completed then the consolidated entity will maximise revenue from this ore as the recovery of the contained silver will be maximised at a time of historically high silver prices;
-
Subsequent to 31 December 2025, the consolidated entity has proposed and the New South Wales government regulator has accepted a payment plan for approximately $6 million of the Environmental Bonds,
16
Polymetals Resources Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2025
Note 1. Material accounting policy information (continued)
which form part of the $34,092,000 commitment noted above, to be paid progressively from 31 March 2026 to 31 March 2028 (refer note 22);
- In addition, the Company is listed on the ASX and has the ability to seek for additional funds in the future. The Directors are of the opinion that, if required, the Company will be successful in raising funds, as it has been demonstrated in the past evidenced by the raising of $15 million and $34.4 million in cash (before share issue transaction costs) from shares issued in July 2025 and December 2025 respectively.
Accordingly, the Directors believe that the consolidated entity 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.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the consolidated entity does not continue as a going concern.
Note 2. 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. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Revenue recognition
The Group applies judgement in determining the point at which control of concentrate transfers to customers under offtake agreements. While contractual terms provide for legal title to pass on receipt of advance or provisional payments, management has determined that control transfers only when the concentrate is loaded on board the vessel at the port of shipment. This judgement is based on an assessment of the Incoterms applied, the transfer of risk, retention of physical possession prior to shipment, and the customer’s inability to direct the use of the concentrate before loading. Management considers this assessment to appropriately reflect the satisfaction of the Group’s performance obligations under AASB 15.
Note 3. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The consolidated entity is organised into two operating segments: a silver-zinc-lead mine located in Cobar, NSW and gold exploration within Guinea, West Africa. No exploration activity occurred in Guinea in the half-year ended 31 December 2025. The operating segments are 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. There is no aggregation of operating segments.
Concentrate production is underway at the silver-zinc-lead mine, with the first shipments of zinc concentrate in the half year ended 31 December 2025.
The information reported to the CODM is on at least a quarterly basis.
Unallocated items
The following items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:
-
interest revenue;
-
income tax benefit;
-
corporate costs;
-
cash at bank of Polymetals Resources Ltd (for 31 December 2024); and
-
receivables and payables associated with corporate costs.

Disaggregation of revenue
Revenue is attributed to geographic location based on final shipping destination. The disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers is as follows:
| Geographical regions Asia |
Consolidated 31 Dec 2025 31 Dec 2024 $ $ 39,386,182 - |
|---|---|
Accounting policy for revenue
Revenue from the sale of mineral concentrate under offtake agreements is recognised when control of the concentrate transfers to the customer. Offtake sales are conducted under contracts incorporating CIF Incoterms 2020. Delivery, and the transfer of control, occurs when the concentrate is loaded on board the vessel at the port of shipment. At this point, the customer obtains the significant risks and rewards of ownership and the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all remaining benefits from, the concentrate.
Under the terms of the offtake agreements, legal title to the concentrate may transfer upon receipt of advance or provisional payments. However, such payments do not result in the transfer of control, as the Group retains physical possession of the concentrate and bears the risks associated with the goods until shipment. Accordingly, amounts received prior to loading are recognised as contract liabilities until the concentrate is loaded on board the vessel.
The Group’s offtake contract includes provisional pricing arrangements whereby the final selling price for concentrate is determined by reference to observable market prices over a specified quotational period following shipment. At the time of shipment, revenue is measured based on the estimated consideration receivable, reflecting provisional pricing, estimated payable metal content and any pricing fixed under early pricing options. Subsequent adjustments arising from changes in metal prices, final weights and assays, and over or under quantities are recognised as adjustments to revenue in the period in which they are determined.

Under Accounting Standard AASB 2 Share-based Payment , the issuance of these shares has been accounted for as an in-substance option award. The fair value of these equity instruments was assessed by Directors based on an independent valuation (using an option-pricing model) and were recorded in the Share-based payments reserve. The total fair value of the in-substance options at grant date was $191,914.
On 19 December 2025, a further 743,750 loan-funded shares vested and were issued. The loans are repayable only from the proceeds of the sale of the shares or their market value at the time of repayment (refer note 16). At 31 December 2025, 881,250 loan-funded shares had not yet vested.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF POLYMETALS RESOURCES LTD
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Polymetals Resources Ltd (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together the Consolidated entity), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Consolidated entity is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’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 Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (ASRE 2410). 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 Consolidated entity 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. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report, which indicates that during the half-year ended 31 December 2025 the Consolidated entity incurred a loss of $34,539,748 and had net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $29,301,729 and $846,993, respectively. In addition, as at 31 December 2025 the Consolidated entity’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $13,822,513. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated entity’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 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. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether 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 Consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and its performance for the half-year 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.
