Total gross cash outflows for the Quarter were approximately $731,000, comprising:
● $445,000 recurring expenditure
● $286,000 non-recurring expenditure
This included:
● Development costs: $240,000

Related Party Payments
Payments disclosed in item 6.1 of the Appendix 4C totalling $68,648 comprise director fees,
salary and superannuation paid to executive and non-executive directors in the ordinary
course of business.
Funding Position
Management continues to expect gross monthly cash burn of $160,000 - $190,000 going
forward.
Assuming no increase in revenue, receipt of projected R&D grants and timely collection of
receivables, the Company expects to have sufficient cash on hand until at least Q2 2027.
This expectation is based on a combination of:
● reduced forward cash outflows following the completion of restructuring initiatives;
and
● anticipated near-term cash inflows, including R&D tax refunds and receivables as
outlined below.
Commercialisation Update
As previously disclosed in the Company’s ASX announcement dated 14 April 2026, the
Company has received a number of inbound enquiries from global technology organisations
following its relaunch on 9 February 2026.

expenditure, comprising:

statutory redundancies;

returns.

2. Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise
further cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely
does it believe that they will be successful?
Answer: No.
The Company has not taken steps to raise additional capital at this time. However, the
Company retains the capacity to raise additional funds if required.
In addition, the Company expects the following cash inflows within the next two quarters:
● R&D tax refund of approximately £140,000 (2024–2025 financial years);
● R&D tax refund of approximately $282,000 (FY2025); and
● Receivables of approximately $550,000, expected within the next quarter.
3. Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its
business objectives and, if so, on what basis?
Answer: Yes.
Taking into account:
● the reduction in forward cash outflows;
● the non-recurring nature of certain costs incurred in the March quarter; and
● anticipated near-term cash inflows, including R&D refunds and receivables,
The Company expects to be able to continue its operations and meet its business
objectives. Based on these factors, management expects the Company to have sufficient
cash on hand until at least Q2 2027.
