OVERVIEW
The consolidated operating loss after tax for the half-year was $177,809 (2023: $1,615,995 loss). This significant reduction reflects the Company's ongoing cost optimisation measures implemented across the group to streamline operations and improve financial performance.
During the period, Streamplay Pacific strengthened its position in the Pacific region, implementing management restructuring (ASX: 30 July 2024) to enhance operational efficiency. The Company saw notable success in American Samoa and Tonga (ASX: 31 October 2024), where revised acquisition strategies and targeted campaigns led to strong subscriber uptake. Additionally, securing a FIPRA collaboration (ASX: 29 April 2024) and the recently obtained Fiji gaming license exemptions, has paved the way for upcoming Digicel Pacific launches in 2025. These regulatory approvals position Streamplay to accelerate expansion and roll out its services seamlessly across the region.
In South Africa, Streamplay renewed its partnership with MTN on improved commercial terms (ASX: 1 May 2024) and maintained stable revenue growth. The new MTN Arena 2.0 portal (ASX: 31 October 2024) was successfully soft launched, introducing alternative payment methods, including card payments, as part of a long-term goal to expand reach beyond MTN’s ~36.8 million subscribers to the broader South African gaming market of approximately 59.9 million people. Additionally, new revenue streams, including MTN Gaming Bundles and Branded Tournament Games (ASX: 3 December 2024), were successfully developed during the half-year and are expected to be strong revenue contributors in the year ahead.
In the Middle East, Streamplay launched its bespoke Cloud Gaming technology, branded Playstream, in the UAE (ASX: 11 April 2024), initially only with Etisalat and later integrating to du billing (ASX: 25 November 2024), effectively covering nearly 100% of the UAE mobile market. This expansion reinforces Streamplay's ability to scale its services across the region, underscoring the successful execution of Streamplay's strategic initiatives for global expansion.
Streamplay owns and operates technology for online competitive social gaming platforms and cloud streaming. The Company offers a range of bespoke services that facilitate casual gaming tournaments and competitions, allowing subscribers to play their favourite games and earn rewards and prizes. The Company’s VAS business, Streamplay Pacific, also brings music and entertainment content streaming services to its offering.
The key focus towards the end of the period was the acquisition of Noodlecake Studios Inc. (“Noodlecake”), a profitable North American indie gaming company headquartered in Canada (ASX: 25 November 2024). The addition of Noodlecake aligns with Streamplay’s strategic direction, including the appointment of Silicon Valley tech advisor Paolo Privitera (ASX: 8 October 2024) to the board of directors, strengthening the Company’s North American and global gaming footprint.
The Company maintained a strong cash position of $13.78 million at 31 December 2024, providing a solid foundation for ongoing growth and strategic expansion. While cash receipts remained stable, some delays in collections were experienced due to the nature of contracts and billing cycles.
Revenue
The increase in overall revenue from ordinary activities of 18% to $1,305,855 versus the prior period (2023: $1,064,811) is mainly the result of increased take up and collections from MTN Arena (+$253,263k).
Expenses and results
Overall expenses decreased to $1.46M (2023: $2.07M) primarily due to no Share based payment and impairment in the current period. The operating expenses remained broadly consistent with the prior period. The Company incurred R&D expenses of $549k (2023: $553k), and consulting expenses of $245k (2023: $227k). Additionally, a provision was made for one-off unrecovered receivables amounting to $194K (2023: $313K). The Company posted a loss of $177K after tax (2023: $1.62M ).

==> picture [179 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
The 2024 result was also impacted by long lead times in terms of agreements with MNO Partners and subsequent acceptance processes before the launch of new products into new territories. The Company has done significant once-off foundational work in this regard with greater revenues expected to flow in the next half year.
Outlook
Effective 1 January 2025, Streamplay completed the acquisition of Noodlecake Studios, a leading North American indie game developer and publisher (ASX: 23 December 2024). The acquisition significantly enhances Streamplay’s gaming portfolio, bringing established IP, publishing expertise, and access to new revenue streams. Integration efforts are underway, with a focus on expanding Noodlecake’s success under Streamplay’s ownership.

STREAMPLAY STUDIO LIMITED and its Controlled Entities
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
This half-year consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The half-year financial report does not include all of the notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.
It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2024 and any public announcements made by Streamplay Studio Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001. For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.
Reporting Basis and Conventions
The half-year report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.
Material Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer and the cost incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
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 initially recognised as deferred revenue in the form of a separate refund liability.
Rendering of services
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of contracts at the reporting date.
9
STREAMPLAY STUDIO LIMITED and its Controlled Entities
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Revenue Recognition (continued)
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.
Sponsorship, marketing and advertising services revenue
Sponsorship, marketing and advertising services revenue is recognised at a point in time which the services have been provided and where the amount can be reliably estimated and is considered recoverable.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
New Standards and Interpretations
In the half-year ended 31 December 2024, management has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2024. It has been determined that, there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised standards and interpretations on its business and therefore no change is necessary to accounting policies. Management has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half-year ended 31 December 2024. It has been determined that, there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
Comparatives
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. Earnings per share comparatives have been adjusted to reflect the consolidation completed during the half year.
2 OPERATING SEGMENT
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start-up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the board of directors. During the half year the Company only operated in one segment and that was the development of online gaming platform.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF STREAMPLAY STUDIO LIMITED
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Streamplay Studio Limited (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, 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, a summary of material accounting policies and other selected explanatory notes, 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 half-year financial report of Streamplay Studio Limited and Controlled Entities does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
a. Giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2024 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2024 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
