Comments
During the period, the company strengthened its financial position through its listing on the ASX, continued revenue growth and
sustained cost discipline, while reducing its operating losses. Key financial developments during the year included:
• Sales revenue from contracts with customers increased almost six‑fold to $4,983,726 (2025: $851,159), reflecting the first year
of commercial SeaFeed™ sales and an expanding customer base. SeaFeed™ revenue increased more than ten‑fold to $4,983,726
(2025: $488,802), with the balance of the prior period comparative comprising $362,357 of oyster spat revenue from activities
that have since been exited;
• Total income of $8,449,952 (2025: $6,518,830) also includes other income of $3,466,226 (2025: $5,667,671), the reduction
reflecting no government grants in the current year (2025: $1,915,246) and a lower research and development incentive of
$2,283,714 (2025: $3,151,193);
• The loss after income tax reduced to $5,419,231 (2025: $9,090,241), driven by the growth in SeaFeed™ sales revenue and the
exit of non core activities, which also resulted in a lower impairment charge on property, plant and equipment of $296,879
(2025: $1,527,845).
• Net cash used in operating activities reduced to $4,635,616 (2025: $5,938,904), demonstrating improved operating leverage
as revenue increased;
• The company completed its initial public offering in November 2025, raising $20,500,000 at $2.00 per share to fund the next phase
of commercialisation. After $1,513,975 in listing and related transaction costs and $604,486 in lease liabilitiesSyntax Warning: Invalid Font Weight

• Net assets increased to $39,750,954 (2025: $25,444,746), with $15,113,104 placed in term deposits with maturities of six to nine
months as well as a closing cash balance of $12,643,391 providing funding for planned expansion.

During FY2025, the Board approved a strategic restructuring plan (26 March 2025) to transition the marine operations at Triabunna
and the land‑based operations at Swansea to focus predominantly on research and development (R&D) activities.
With the marine farm repositioned for research‑only purposes, the company commenced a program to streamline operations and
reduce surplus marine infrastructure. As part of this optimisation, the carrying values of the relevant marine infrastructure assets were
reviewed and a further impairment of $296,879 (2025: $1,527,845) was recognised during the reporting period to reduce the assets
to their recoverable amounts in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
In line with its strategic objectives, on 1 August 2025 the company sold the assets of its oyster business for $223,500 and entered
into a management agreement with Southern Cross Marine Culture Pty Ltd (“Marine Culture”) for the operation of the oyster hatchery
through to 30 June 2030. The company also completed the sale of the vessel Sea Captain to Huon AquacultureSyntax Warning: Invalid Font Weight
for $1,800,000
(excl. GST) on 6 November 2025 and disposed of marine infrastructure assets totalling $28,717 (excl. GST) during the year.
