NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Material accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The condensed consolidated interim financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , AASB 134 ‘ Interim Financial Reporting’ (“AASB 134”) and other pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The condensed consolidated interim financial report does not include full disclosure of the type normally included in an annual financial report, and accordingly this report should be read in conjunction with the most recent consolidated financial report and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX listing rules.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for issue on 24 February 2026.
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The Consolidated entity, comprising Strategic Elements Limited, Strategic Materials Pty Ltd, Australian Advanced Materials Pty Ltd, Maria Resources Pty Ltd, Stealth Technology Pty Ltd and Cognition Engines Pty Ltd is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the interim financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2025.
For the purpose of preparing the report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.
Basis of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) (referred to as the Group in these financial statements). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group.
In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions, income and expenses, profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.
Going Concern
The condensed consolidated interim financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlements of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Group has reported a loss for the half-year of $1,037,858 (2024: $1,375,917) and a cash outflow from operating activities of $826,388 (31 December 2024: $1,434,129). At the end of the half-year, the Group had $3,262,868 (30 June 2025: $4,090,092) in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital surplus of $3,232,668 (30 June 2025: $3,862,950).

STRATEGIC ELEMENTS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Material accounting policies
In arriving at this position, the Directors have had regard to the fact that the Group has, or in the Directors’ opinion will have access to, sufficient cash to fund administrative and other committed expenditure. The Group’s cashflow forecast indicates that the Group will have access to sufficient cash to fund administrative and other committed expenditure and be able to settle its liabilities as and when they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the condensed consolidated interim financial report.
New Standards and Interpretations applicable for the half year ended 31 December 2025
For the half-year ended 31 December 2025, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current reporting period. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations on issue and therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
New Standards and Interpretations on issue not yet effective
The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet effective for the period ended 31 December 2025. The Directors have reviewed these amended pronouncements and have decided not to early adopt.
Rounding of amounts
In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, the amounts in the directors report and in the condensed consolidated interim financial report have been rounded to the nearest dollar.
Significant Accounting Judgements and Key Estimates
The preparation of this condensed consolidated interim financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this condensed consolidated interim financial report the significant judgements made by management in applying the Groups’ accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2025.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Strategic Elements Limited
Report on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Report for the Half-year ended 31 December 2025
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Report of Strategic Elements Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2025, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory information, and the Directors’ Declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Report of Strategic Elements Limited does not comply 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 performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
iii) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (“ASRE 2410”). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Condensed Consolidated Interim 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 & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
Responsibility of the Directors for the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Report
The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Interim 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 Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
A review of a Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
