Ronin Resources Ltd Directors' report 30 June 2025

==> picture [57 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'consolidated entity') consisting of Ronin Resources Ltd (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2025.

Directors

The following persons were directors of Ronin Resources Ltd during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:

Joseph van den Elsen (Non-executive Chairman) Marnus Bothma (Non-executive Director) Nicholas Young (Non-executive Director)

Principal activities

During the financial year the principal activities of the consolidated entity consisted of:

  • exploration and evaluation activities on the Company's Vetas (Colombia), San Juan (Argentina) and Ontario (Canada) Projects.

  • the evaluation and assessment of complementary new business development opportunities.

Dividends

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

Review of operations

Financial Performance

The total comprehensive loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $345,791 (June 2024: $1,166,491). The decrease in loss for the current half-year period was a result of a reduced amount spent on exploration as the Company continues to explore complementary new business development opportunities. During the financial year, the Company issued 3,550,000 fully paid ordinary shares in relation to a placement conducted at 13 cents per share.

Financial review

The net assets of the consolidated entity as at 30 June 2025 was $3,257,922(2024: $3,171,046). The main reason for the increase in net assets related capital raise that took place during the half-year.

Operational review

During the period the Company continued its efforts to initiate drill testing of the Vetas Project and remains committed to doing so when circumstances allow (the timeframe for which is currently unclear). In the intervening period, the Company’s focus has shifted to the evaluation and assessment of new business development opportunities. The Company continues its evaluation and assessment of the Hornby Lake Project and a potential 2025 field program to target the south-western portion of the Hornby Lake Project area.

Subsequent to the period end, the Company commenced field exploration at its newly acquired La Punilla Au-Ag project in San Juan, Argentina.

The Company also remains actively engaged in the evaluation and assessment of complementary new business development opportunities.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

On 26 November 2024, the Company issued 3,550,000 ordinary fully paid shares at $0.13 (13 cents per share), together with 3,550,000 attaching options exercisable at $0.25 (25 cents per share) with a 2-year expiry as part of a placement.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 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.

Ronin Resources Ltd Directors' report 30 June 2025

==> picture [57 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Likely developments and expected results of operations

The success of the Company will depend on exploration activities proposed to be carried out on the Company’s current project areas of interest which have been acquired or granted over time.

The Company continually reviews new potential project opportunities and if the Directors are successful in acquiring new projects or entering into a joint venture, it is expected that part of the funding held by the Company may be directed to the purchase of that project and to the exploration and development plan for that project. It may be that additional cash will be required to fund any of these events should they eventuate. In that case the Directors will be required to review the funding options available to the Company.

Business risk management

The Company is committed to the effective management of risk to reduce uncertainty in the Company’s business outcomes and to protect and enhance shareholder value. There are various risks that could have a material impact on the achievement of the Company’s strategic objectives and future prospects.

Key risks and mitigation activities associated with the Company's objectives are set out below:

Exploration risk

The Company’s projects are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration is a high-risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration of these projects, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic mineral deposit.

The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, local title processes, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.

In addition, the tenements forming the projects of the Company may include various restrictions excluding, limiting or imposing conditions upon the ability of the Company to conduct exploration activities. While the Company will formulate its exploration plans to accommodate and work within such access restrictions, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to satisfy such conditions on commercially viable terms, or at all.

The Company uses a number of exploration techniques in order to reduce the level of exploration risks and continues to explore new and innovative technologies through its day to day operations.

Regulatory risk

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are dependent upon the maintenance (including renewal) of the tenements in which the Company has or acquires an interest. Maintenance of the Company’s tenements is dependent on, among other things, the Company’s ability to meet the licence conditions imposed by relevant authorities. Although the Company has no reason to think that the tenements in which it currently has an interest will not be renewed, there is no assurance that such renewals will be given as a matter of course and there is no assurance that new conditions will not be imposed by the relevant authority or whether the Company will be able to meet the conditions of renewal on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

The Company works with local government and mining departments to ensure it meets the required level of reporting requirements and to reduce any potential for breach of regulatory requirements.

4

Ronin Resources Ltd Directors' report 30 June 2025

==> picture [57 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Future funding risk

The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue in the foreseeable future. Exploration and development costs and pursuit of its business plan will use funds from the Company's current cash reserves and the amount raised under the Equity Offer.

The development of one or more of its projects may require the Company to raise capital in excess of the funds proposed to be raised under the Equity Offer.

Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price (or Offer Price) or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.

Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, no assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities and could affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s funding requirements are reviewed on a regular basis in order to mitigate future funding risk.

Land Access

Colombian law provides that the government owns all subsoil and non renewable natural resources in Colombia and Colombian mining concessions do not grant the holder any surface rights. The holder of a mining concession can come to an agreement with surface rights holders for the purpose of conducting mining operations, which may include the payment of remuneration or compensation. If such agreement cannot be reached, Colombian law provides for mandatory easements over land to ensure the efficient exploration and exploitation of legal mining titles and further provides authority to impose appropriate easements as necessary both within and external to the area the subject of a Colombian mining concession.

During the application process for a mining concession, the applicant may conduct mineral prospection activities without any limitation, without the need to secure any additional permits or authorisations, for so long as the applicant’s prospection does not require the use of natural resources (i.e., use of water, deforestation, etc.). The exploration activities contemplated by the Company over the area the subject of the applications is limited to desktop studies, superficial studies, geophysics and community engagement accordingly no third party consents are required to conduct these exploration activities. Upon grant of the applications, should the Company wish to progress to surface disturbing activities such as drilling, a land access agreement and negotiations in relation to surface rights with the local community and/or land owners would be required.

There is no assurance that these surface rights and/or land access agreements will be obtained or if they are obtained, that they will be obtained on reasonable terms. Failure to obtain surface rights or the relevant land access agreements would adversely affect the ability to mine on the Projects or other projects acquired by the Company in the future.

Notwithstanding the above, where private negotiations with the landowner are unsuccessful for surface rights, expropriation and the compulsory imposition of easements or right-of-way’s are available under Colombian law.

The Company continues to engage with land owners to mitigate this risk and is currently in the process of negotiating access for its planned exploration activities.

Environmental regulation

The consolidated entity holds participating interests in a number of exploration tenements. The various authorities granting such tenements require the tenement holder to comply with the terms of the grant of the tenement and all directions given to it under those terms of the tenement. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, the Group has adequate systems in place to ensure compliance with the requirements of all environmental legislation described above and are not aware of any breach of those requirements during the financial year and up to the date of the Directors' report.

Remuneration report (audited)

The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the consolidated entity, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors.

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

  • Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

  • Details of remuneration

  • Service agreements

  • Share-based compensation

  • Additional information

  • Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The objective of the consolidated entity's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • competitiveness and reasonableness

  • acceptability to shareholders

  • performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation

  • transparency

7

Ronin Resources Ltd Directors' report 30 June 2025

==> picture [57 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the company depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high-quality personnel.

The Board has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the company.

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board have considered that it should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by:

  • having financial performance as a core component of plan design; and

  • focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value.

  • attracting and retaining high calibre executives

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by:

  • rewarding capability and experience

  • reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth

  • providing a clear structure for earning rewards

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration is separate.

Non-executive directors remuneration

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board as a whole. The chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration.

ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive directors' remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. The most recent determination was at a General Meeting held on March 2021, where the shareholders approved a maximum annual aggregate remuneration of $250,000.

Executive remuneration

The consolidated entity aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.

The executive remuneration and reward framework has two components:

  • base pay and non-monetary benefits

  • share-based payments

The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Board based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the consolidated entity and comparable market remunerations.

The long-term incentives ('LTI') include share-based payments. During the 2022 financial year, performance rights were issued to directors which formed part of their remuneration

The Company did not use any external remuneration consultants during the financial year.

Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration

The remuneration of directors and executives are not linked to the performance, share price or earnings of the consolidated entity.

Details of remuneration

Amounts of remuneration

Details of the remuneration of key management personnel of the consolidated entity are set out in the following tables.

Ronin Resources Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2025

==> picture [57 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1. General information

The financial statements cover Ronin Resources Ltd, as a consolidated entity consisting of Ronin Resources Ltd and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Ronin Resources Ltd's functional and presentation currency.

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

Level 21, 459 Collins Street Melbourne VIC 3000

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

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 29 September 2025. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

Note 2. Material accounting policy information

The accounting policies that are material to the consolidated entity 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 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 year.

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

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

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').

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 consolidated entity'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 3.

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 11.

Revenue recognition

The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:

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 year 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.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

18

Ronin Resources Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2025

==> picture [57 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity'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 consolidated entity'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.

Exploration expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred are expensed in full in the statement of profit or loss as they are incurred. Expenditure is capitalised as development expenditure when technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource is established.

During the exploration stages the consolidated entity does not provide for site restoration costs due to the uncertainties around the timing of such commitments. However, cost of site restoration is provided for once a mine plan / production phase has commenced and a known mine plan is evident. Site restoration costs usually include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology. Costs are discounted back to present value, using an applicable cost of capital relevant to the consolidate entity and then amortised over the life of the mine. Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly, the costs are determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one period of abandoning the site.

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 consolidated entity for the annual reporting year ended 30 June 2024. The directors consider that none of these Standards or Interpretations will materially impact these or future financial statements of the consolidated entity.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. 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 consolidated entity 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 Trinomial or BlackScholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting year but may impact profit or loss and equity.

19

Ronin Resources Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2025

==> picture [57 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

Income tax

The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the consolidated entity's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the year in which such determination is made.

Non-recognition of carry forward tax losses

The balance of future income tax benefit arising from the current financial year tax losses and timing differences have not been recognised as an asset because it is not clear when the losses will be recovered. The cumulative future income tax benefit estimated has not been recognised as an asset, will only be obtained if:

(i) the company derives future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised. (ii) the company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and (iii) no changes in tax legislation adversely affecting the company realising the benefit.

Colombian VAT refunds

A cost of doing business in Colombia is the requirement to pay 19% VAT on the majority of goods or services provided by third parties and a special 5% VAT rate on certain items. The VAT in Colombia is known as impuesto al valor agregrado (IVA) and it typically difficult to be able to claim back from the government authorities. The consolidated entity has not accounted for any VAT receivable for the financial year.

Exploration and evaluation costs

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred are expensed in full in the statement of profit or loss as they are incurred. Expenditure is capitalised as development expenditure when technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource is established.

During the exploration stages the consolidated entity does not provide for site restoration costs due to the uncertainties around the timing of such commitments. However, cost of site restoration are provided for once a mine plan / production phase has commenced and a known mine plan is evident. Site restoration costs usually include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology. Costs are discounted back to present value, using an applicable cost of capital relevant to the consolidate entity and then amortised over the life of the mine. Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs are determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one period of abandoning the site.

Note 4. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The consolidated entity has identified its operating segments based on the investment decisions of the board and used by the chief operating decision makers in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The consolidated entity operates in one segment being the evaluation and exploration of resources.

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote.

Share buy-back

There is no current on-market share buy-back.

Capital risk management

The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current company's share price at the time of the investment. The consolidated entity is not actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.

Note 6. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives

The consolidated entity’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of foreign exchange analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk.

21

Ronin Resources Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2025

==> picture [57 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Note 6. Financial instruments (continued)

Market risk

Foreign currency risk

The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Generally, the consolidated entity’s main exposure to exchange rate risk relates primarily to trade payables and cash denominated in Argentina and Colombia PESO, arising in relation to its activities in Argentina and Colombia. The consolidated entity is also exposed to US foreign currency risk in relation to outstanding deferred payments for the acquisition of the project areas.

The consolidated entity did not seek to hedge its exposure but where a payable is significant, Argentina and Colombia PESO may be purchased on incurring the liability or commitment.

Liquidity risk

Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity 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.

As at the reporting date all financial liabilities had payment terms maturing less than 60 days (2024: 60 days).

Fair value of financial instruments

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.

Norte de Santander SAS Body corporate Colombia 100.00% Australia

Pty Ltd Body corporate Australia 100.00% Australia

Basis of preparation

The consolidated entity disclosure statement (CEDS) has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and includes information for each entity that was part of the consolidated entity as at the end of the financial year in accordance with AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements.

Determination of tax residency

Section 295 (3A) of the Corporation Acts 2001 defines tax residency as having the meaning in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. The determination of tax residency involves judgement as there are currently several different interpretations that could be adopted, and which could give rise to a different conclusion on residency. It should be noted that the definitions of ‘Australian resident’ and ‘foreign resident’ in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 are mutually exclusive. This means that if an entity is an ‘Australian resident’ it cannot be a ‘foreign resident’ for the purposes of disclosure in the CEDS.

In determining tax residency, the consolidated entity has applied the following interpretations:

Australian tax residency

The consolidated entity has applied current legislation and judicial precedent, including having regard to the Tax Commissioner's public guidance in Tax Ruling TR 2018/5.

Foreign tax residency

Where necessary, the consolidated entity has used independent tax advisers in foreign jurisdictions to assist in determining tax residency and ensure compliance with applicable foreign tax legislation.

Partnerships and Trusts

Australian tax law does not contain specific residency tests for partnerships and trusts. Generally, these entities are taxed on a flow-through basis, so there is no need for a general residence test. Some provisions treat trusts as residents for certain purposes, but this does not mean the trust itself is an entity that is subject to tax.

Additional disclosures on the tax status of partnerships and trusts have been provided where relevant.

As at the date of this report none of the entities disclosed were partners in a partnership, trustees in a trust or participants in a joint venture.

  • giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2025 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

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. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

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 30 June 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 (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 ; and

  • the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, and

for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:

  • the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

  • the consolidated entity 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 ability of the Group 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 have 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.
