RocketDNA Limited – Annual Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Dear Shareholders,
FY2025 was a year of meaningful progress for RocketDNA, building on the foundations established in 2024 and reinforcing the Company’s focus on disciplined execution.
During the year, RocketDNA broadened its operational footprint across Australia and strengthened its position in key markets. Activities now span every state except Tasmania, with growth across gold, iron ore, transport, and infrastructure, alongside initial steps into adjacent sectors including security and metal recycling. This expansion reflects increasing demand for reliable, remotely operated drone capability and the trust placed in the Company by a growing customer base.
Operations across Western Australia, Queensland, and Africa contributed to a steady, expanding base of recurring work. This growth was supported by cost discipline and a continued focus on dependable service delivery.
Momentum during the year was reinforced by approximately $3 million in new binding contracts and purchase orders from existing customers, including BHP Western Australian Iron Ore, Assmang’s Khumani Iron Ore Mine in South Africa, and Norton Gold Fields. These orders primarily relate to the expansion of established autonomous drone programs and reflect the increasing adoption of RocketDNA’s xBot® platform and associated software tools across multiple mining regions.
Operational scale increased materially during FY2025, with autonomous mission volumes rising significantly yearon-year, supported by the expansion of RocketDNA’s Remote Operations Centre capacity in Perth. This capability enables centrally managed, compliant operations across multiple jurisdictions.
Relationships with major mining customers continued to mature during FY2025. These engagements develop through consistent delivery and careful validation, rather than rapid adoption. The steady expansion of these programs provides confidence in the durability of RocketDNA’s operating model.
Page 7
RocketDNA Ltd Annual Report 2025
Chairman’s Letter continued
Operationally, the Perth Remote Operations Centre continued to play a central role, supporting missions across Australia and Africa from a secure, centralised environment. This capability reflects the integration of people, systems, and processes that underpins RocketDNA’s approach to safety and reliability.
Customers also continued to scale their use of RocketDNA’s software and data tools. Adoption of SiteTube increased during the year, supporting planning, geotechnical review, and operational decision-making, and further embedding RocketDNA within customer workflows.
As RocketDNA expands its installed drone-in-a-box base, the potential for recurring revenue from its proprietary software becomes increasingly scalable. This represents an important area of focus as the Company continues to deepen customer engagement.
RocketDNA’s capital position strengthened following the placement completed during the year. These funds support growing demand at both new and existing sites, continued deployment of autonomous xBot® units, and a disciplined approach to growth.
During the year, the share register evolved, with a long-standing shareholder exiting as part of a broader fund strategy, while another substantial shareholder increased their position. The Board views these changes as contributing to a more stable register as we enter the next phase of growth.
The Board and executive team remained unchanged throughout FY2025, providing continuity of leadership and governance. In addition, the establishment of an Advisory Board during the year enhances the Company’s strategic capability, particularly across regulation, enterprise engagement, and market development.
Looking ahead, the Company will enter its next phase of execution with a clear operating model, a differentiated regulatory position, and a growing contracted revenue base. The Board remains focused on disciplined execution, risk management, and sustainable value creation.
On behalf of the Board, I thank Chris and the management team, along with all employees, for their continued professionalism and commitment. I also thank shareholders for their ongoing support.

CEO Report
FY2025 represented a “scale-up” phase of the business for RocketDNA, with the focus on delivery and execution at a level that Tier-1 enterprise customers expect.
The business matured from early adoption single-unit deployments into multi-unit deployments, with a clear emphasis on operational scalability, revenue quality, and disciplined growth.
Mining and resources remained the core revenue driver, supported by longterm customer relationships and repeatable autonomous deployments. These operations validate the durability of RocketDNA’s model and provide a stable base for expansion, as we realise the full potential of our xBot® solution.
Automation is not only a key technology driver in mining, but public safety as well, with state police departments progressing their Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs beyond trial phases. While still small compared with mining, these opportunities demonstrate a credible pathway into government and law enforcement markets and have clear long-term relevance for autonomous drone applications.
Throughout the year, management remained focused on:
-
Operational reliability and formal systems thinking
-
Regulatory compliance and approval capability expansion
-
Cost control and measured capital deployment
-
Product Development and Customer Success strategies
As RocketDNA enters the next phase with a clear operating model, a differentiated regulatory position, and a focus on sustainable execution, positioning RocketDNA as a leading operator of autonomous drone systems in the mining industry.

In accordance with the Company’s Board Charter, the Board carries out the duties that would ordinarily be carried out by the Remuneration Committee under the Remuneration Committee Charter, including the following processes to set the level and composition of remuneration for Directors and senior executives and ensuring that such remuneration is appropriate and not excessive:
-
a. the Board devotes time at appropriate Board meetings to assess the level and composition of remuneration for Directors and senior executives;
-
b. items that are usually required to be discussed by a remuneration committee are marked as separate agenda items at Board meetings when required; and
-
c. the Board may seek external advice and benchmarking to inform their decisions.
During the financial year ended 31 December 2025, the Company did not receive any remuneration recommendations from any remuneration consultants.
Executive remuneration arrangements
The compensation structures are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. Compensation packages may include a mix of fixed compensation, equity-based compensation, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds. Shares and options may only be issued subject to approval by shareholders in a general meeting.
At the date of this report the Company has two (2) appointed executives, Christopher Clark as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Mr Paul Williamson as Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer. The terms of their Executive Director Services Agreement with RocketDNA are summarised below:
Christopher Clark
-
A total remuneration package of $283,360 per annum including statutory superannuation, effective 1 January 2026.
-
Participation in the Company’s incentive programs.
-
Reimbursement of reasonable business expenses incurred in the ordinary course of the business in accordance with the Group’s reimbursement policies.
-
The Agreement may be terminated by either party giving four (4) months’ notice and the Agreement may be terminated immediately if Mr Clark is engaged in conduct justifying summary dismissal.
-
Non-compete and non-solicitation restraints in place for up to six months following cessation of employment.

Performance Conditions Linked to Remuneration
The Group maintains an Employee Incentive Plan (“Plan”) to provide ongoing incentives to Eligible Participants of the Company. The Plan was first approved by shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting held on 24 June 2021. Eligible Participants include:
-
a Director (whether executive or non-executive) of any Group company;
-
a full or part time employee of any Group company;
-
a casual employee or contractor of a Group Company; or
-
a prospective participant, being a person to whom the Offer was made but who can only accept the Offer if arrangement has been entered into that will result in the person becoming an Eligible Participant.
The purpose of the Plan is to provide an incentive to the employees and directors of RocketDNA and its subsidiaries to encourage the sense of proprietorship and to stimulate their active interest in the development and financial success of the Company by providing them with opportunities to purchase shares in the Company.
The Group also maintains a South African Employee Incentive Plan which was last approved by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting held on 30 May 2025. The eligible participants include:
-
a full-time or permanent part-time employee of a group company
-
a director of a group company
The purpose of the plan is the same as the purpose of the group Employee Incentive Plan above, but allows the operation of the plan in South Africa.
Non-executive director fee arrangements
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at a level to comparable companies for time, commitment, and responsibilities. Non-executive directors may receive performance related compensation. Directors’ fees cover all main Board activities and membership of any committee. The Board has no established retirement or redundancy schemes in relation to non-executive directors.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is presently limited to an aggregate of $300,000 per annum and any change is subject to approval by shareholders at a General Meeting. To align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
Total fees for non-executive directors for the financial year were $67,050 (2024: $40,500) and cover main Board activities only. Non-executive directors may receive additional remuneration for other services provided to the Group. All non-executive directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form of a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the board policies and terms, including remuneration, relevant to the office of director.
Other than the fees disclosed below there was no other remuneration provided to non-executives during the 2025 financial year (2024: nil).

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Material accounting policy information
The accounting policies that are material to the Group are set out below. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group 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.
The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group:
Going concern
During the period, the Group generated a loss after tax from continuing operations of $2,760,172 (2024: $1,925,630), is reporting a net working capital of $4,437,855 (2024 : $3,491,911), has incurred net cash outflows from operations of $1,509,764 (2024 outflow of $506,326). As at 31 December 2025, the Group had $3,861,847 in cash (2024 : $3,406,056) and consolidated net asset of $7,605,859 (2024 : net asset of $5,851,293).
Management have prepared a forecast for the next 12 months which demonstrates the Group having the ability to meets its debts as and when they fall due. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Group to successfully grow its revenue base as well as its ability to secure funds by raising capital from equity and or debt markets and managing cashflow in line with available funds.
The Group has prepared the financial statements for the financial period ended 31 December 2025 on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of current business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’).
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.

RocketDNA Ltd Annual Report 2025
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 29.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of RocketDNA Ltd. (‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 31 December 2025 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. RocketDNA Ltd. and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the ‘Group’.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the noncontrolling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the Group. Losses incurred by the Group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.
Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’, where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

RocketDNA Ltd Annual Report 2025
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is RocketDNA Ltd.’s functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue as follows:
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the ‘expected value’ or ‘most likely amount’ method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed price or an hourly rate.
Page 41
RocketDNA Ltd Annual Report 2025
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and noncurrent classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no right at the end of the reporting period to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
==> picture [596 x 227] intentionally omitted <==
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
Page 43
RocketDNA Ltd Annual Report 2025
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Inventories
Finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a ‘first in first out’ basis. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable.
Stock on hand is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
Computer 3 years Furniture and equipment 3-17 years Leasehold improvements the shorter of the lease term and the useful life Buildings 2-3 years Plant and equipment 1-10 years Drones and accessories 2-3 years
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.
Right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

RocketDNA Ltd Annual Report 2025
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation, over four years for capitalised product development costs and three years for software development costs, and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Contract liabilities
Contract liabilities represent the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer and are recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the Group recognises a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the Group has transferred the goods or services to the customer.
Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
Finance costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Employee benefits
Share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying the option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:
-
during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.
-
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.
The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.
On the acquisition of a business, the Group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.
Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the Group remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.
Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquirer.
Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of RocketDNA Ltd., excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 31 December 2025. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
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.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equitysettled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Allowance for expected credit losses
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience and historical collection rates.
The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs.
Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.
Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The Group assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Note 3. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The Group is organised into 2 operating segments. These 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. The segments are split into the geographical locations of the Group’s main business, namely Australia and Africa. The following table analyses sales revenue and EBITDA based on geographical location.

The above potential tax benefit for tax losses has not been recognised in the statement of financial position. These tax losses can only be utilised in the future if the tests applicable to the country the entity with the tax losses resides in can be passed, for example a continuity of ownership test or same business test. In certain countries, there are also restrictions as to the rate at which the losses can be utilised or the types of income losses can be utilised against.
The benefits of the losses will only be recognised as a deferred tax asset in future if:
-
Future assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;
-
The conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continue to be complied with; and
-
No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit.

Impairment
Following annual impairment testing, no impairment was deemed necessary at 31 December 2025.
The recoverable amount of all cash-generating units is based on the higher of its value-in-use or fair value less costs to sell which require use of assumptions. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to two (2) cash-generating units (CGU), one being Africa and the other being RocketDNA (WA) Pty Ltd. In assessing goodwill impairment for the year ended 31 December 2025, all CGUs used a discounted cash flow model in accordance with the value-in-use (VIU) method, which reflect the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from each CGU. The significant inputs and key assumptions used by management within the discounted cash flow model for the Africa CGU and the RocketDNA (WA) Pty Ltd CGU are:
Africa CGU
RocketDNA (WA) Pty Ltd CGU
-
Discount rate (pre-tax): risk in the industry and country in which it operates – 17%.
-
Revenue growth: relevant to the market conditions and business plan – averaging 5%
-
Budgeted gross profit rate: based on past performance and management’s expectations for the future – various rates depending on product line and location, ranging from 8% to 60%
-
Discount rate (pre-tax): risk in the industry and country in which it operates – 16.0%.
-
Revenue growth: relevant to the market conditions and business plan – averaging 5%
-
Budgeted gross profit rate: based on past performance and management’s expectations for the future – between 20% and 50% depending on product line..

Note 24. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
Given the nature of the business, the Group monitors capital on the basis of current business operations and cash flow requirements. There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year.
Risk management is carried out by senior executives under policies approved by the Board of Directors (‘the Board’). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Group and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Executives identify, evaluate and hedge financial risks within the Group’s operating units and report to the Board on a monthly basis.

Credit risk
The Group has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.
Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.
Allowance for expected credit losses
The Group has recognised a loss of $32,301 (31 December 2024: $11,698) in profit or loss in respect of the expected credit losses for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The ageing of the Trade receivables and allowance for expected credit losses provided for above are as follows:
| Expected credit | Expected credit | Carrying | Carrying | Allowance for expected | Allowance for expected | |

Liquidity risk
Remaining contractual maturities
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROCKETDNA LTD
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of RocketDNA Ltd (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information, the Consolidated entity disclosure statement and the director’s declaration.
In our opinion:
-
a. the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group 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 (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
==> picture [563 x 102] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [563 x 47] intentionally omitted <==
Key Audit Matters
Key Audit Matter Revenue and related risk of fraud – Note 4 The recognition of revenue was considered a key audit matter due to the significance and materiality of the matter to users understanding of the financial report; as well as judgement surrounding the determination of performance obligations in accordance with AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
-
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter Our audit procedures included but were not limited to: Evaluating the revenue recognition policies for all material sources of revenue and from our detailed testing performed, ensured that revenue was being recognized appropriately, in line with Australian Accounting Standards and policies disclosed within the financial statements;
-
Assessing the controls within the revenue process as well as performing cut-off sample testing; and
-
Substantively testing a sample of revenue transactions throughout the financial year
Impairment of Goodwill – Note 14
The goodwill carrying value is $1,022K. The recoverable amount was determined using two separate values in use calculations, each for the cash generating unit of Africa and Australia, which involved a significant level of judgement in respect of factors such as:
-
Estimated future revenue and costs;
-
Growth rates
-
Discount rates; and
-
Terminal values
We considered this to be a key audit matter due to the significant judgement involved in estimating the recoverable amount of goodwill and the potential material impact on the financial report.
Our procedures included, but were not limited to:
-
Considering the appropriateness of the value in use method applied to perform the annual test of goodwill for impairment against the requirement of the accounting standards;
-
Challenging the assumptions and forecast cash flows used in the value in use model, including growth rate, inflation, revenue contracts and discount rates by comparators and analysing industry trends. This also included the following procedures:
-
Comparing the forecast cash flow obtained in the value in use model to approved budgets
-
Checking the forecast to actual results
-
Performing sensitivity analysis in regard to key assumptions within a reasonably possible range.
-
Consulting with our Corporate finance team in regard to the value in use model adopted by client, as well as the reasonableness of the assumptions used.
-
Assessing the appropriateness of the related disclosures in Note 14.

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2025, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the 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 financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and the Group disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
==> picture [563 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the
-
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2025. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
==> picture [563 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
Auditor’s Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of RocketDNA Ltd, for the year ended 31 December 2025, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
