All amounts included herein with respectto the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewherein Exhibit 99.2. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS.Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “Gelteq” are to Gelteq Limited., an Australian public limited companyand references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company,” the “Company” or similarterms used in this Exhibit 99.1 are to Gelteq and/or its subsidiaries.
Overview
We are a clinical and science-based company that is focused on developing and commercializing white label gel-based delivery solutions for prescription drugs, nutraceuticals, pet care and other products. A “white label” gel-based delivery solution is where we produce a product that other companies rebrand as their own product. Our principal products are edible gels, which we refer to as gels, and their application in gel-based dosage forms. Our current product suite consists of multiple products that sit within five core verticals — for pets, sports, pharmaceutical (pharma), over-the-counter (OTC) and nutraceutical — all of which leverage our patent pending multiple-ingredient dosage forms, and that we expect to have a wide range of applications and consumers. We currently focus our efforts on out-licensing our technology to companies to develop and create new products they can manufacture and sell within their established and researched markets, while we continue to manufacture our existing products under license (“white label”).
Recent Developments
On October 30, 2024, we consummated our initial public offering of 1,300,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of US$4.00 per share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $5.2 million before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated October 28, 2024 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and between the Company and The Benchmark Company, LLC as representative of the several underwriters. The Company agreed to an underwriting discount of 7.0% of the public offering price of the Ordinary Shares sold in the IPO.
On November 14, 2024, we entered into a license agreement for office space rental in New York for a fee of 4,468 USD per month. The license agreement has an initial term of six months and automatically renews for additional six-month terms upon the expiration of the initial term.
On December 2, 2024, we entered into an agreement with WPIC Marketing and Technologies Limited (“WPIC”) to assist with sales and distribution of our SportsGel products throughout the Asian Pacific region, commencing with China initially in March 2025. As of the date of this prospectus, we have four online stores across various platforms open in China as WPIC’s first region of focus.
On December 19, 2024, we appointed Dr. Paul Wynne as our Chief Scientific Officer.
On March 31, 2025, Simon H. Szewach resigned as our Executive Chairman. He continues to serve as our Chairman and director.
On April 30, 2025, David A.V. Morton resigned as a Director.
On June 3, 2025, Anthony W. Panther resigned as our Chief Financial Officer and on the same day, Thuy-Linh Gigler became the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.
Financial Operations Overview
Revenues
For the year ended June 30, 2023, we delivered 60,000 units in December, 2022 and recognized revenue of AUD$79,843 (USD$51,898) from the deferred revenue balance at June 30, 2022. The delay in completing the manufacturing in support of the new January 2023 orders, and being able to recognize the relevant component of the existing deferred revenue balance as income, is due to certain of our customers that experienced cash flow difficulties and therefore being unable to pay for the order at the time.
For the six months ended December 31, 2024, we had prioritized pharmaceutical research and improving operational processes, and we expect to grow and execute on our business plans with lower overheads and expenses in the financial year ending June 30, 2025. To facilitate this, we entered into a rental contract, filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, for laboratory facilities with Monash University on February 2, 2024 (the “Monash Facilities”) for further research purposes. Our lack of personnel, and our focus on research, and identifying and establishing a laboratory facility, adversely affected our ability to close new sales opportunities. We believe this will have a short-term impact on sales revenue which was nil for the six months ended December 31, 2023.
With the Monash Facilities established and fitted, as well as the closing of our IPO, we are prioritizing our sales activities with a focus on the animal health, nutraceutical, sports, over-the-counter and pharmaceuticals verticals. Notwithstanding the foregoing we are currently prioritizing pharmaceutical research on our existing 505b(2) application and seeking other potential pharmaceutical candidates through such pathway.
We continue to discuss revenue opportunities with existing and prospective customers and we remain confident in our sales strategy and our strong existing new business pipeline, and we would fulfil our revenue numbers should each existing potential client in the pipeline eventuate. However, for the business to generate its expected revenue from products sales and licenses in the financial year ending June 30, 2026, we need to ensure the following events will occur:
| 1) | Manufacturing — As we continue to<br>have part of our manufacturing process in Xiamen, Fujian, China, we remain confident that products will still be manufactured and shipped<br>to our customers globally. However, given the follow-on effects to the Chinese economy due to stringent protocols of COVID-19 there and<br>together with emerging cross-border tariffs that impact the cost of goods, supply chains and pricing, we must remain vigilant on any<br>potential change. We also rely on all raw materials being readily available both in China and in our US operations. We are continuing<br>to see first-hand delays of ingredients reaching our manufacturers on time. |
|---|---|
| 2) | Advertising — We have allowed for<br>a substantial advertising budget in the financial year ending June 30, 2026 to introduce the business and our products and services<br>to potential licensees. This will include a combination of increased sales staff, attendance at relevant exhibitions and conferences,<br>and more traditional online advertising and marketing efforts. The business will also be launching a series of mini websites, each site<br>based on our products, to educate and serve as a resource material to our existing customers and potential customers. This would in turn<br>potentially sell Gelteq products and to initiate more relevant marketing activity. |
| --- | --- |
| 3) | Existing Clients — We already have<br>existing licensees. Many of our clients have forecast future orders later this calendar year, and we believe these orders will assist<br>us in realizing our desired revenue targets. At the date of this prospectus, we expect approximately 1 million units to be<br>ordered from existing customers, with many of these being treated as pilots with lower margins. We anticipate that such orders would<br>increase our products’ market exposure in the wider market; additional orders from these clients may provide increased sales revenues<br>and gross margins. In addition, we would be in a position to negotiate higher per unit pricing for any new clients we acquire subsequent<br>to the pilot sales, which in turn would provide higher overall margins for the business. As such, we thereby believe that the initial<br>sales may generate the conditions for further revenues which would improve our financial position. However, it is the additional revenue<br>opportunities that may develop as a result of these orders, and which are not immediately quantifiable, that we believe will provide<br>a potential revenue source during the year ended June 30, 2026. As part of our sales effort, we have engaged a sales and marketing<br>firm in the Asia Pacific region to help launch our sporting products on our new online stores in China and we expect such stores to provide<br>additional revenue during the year ended June 30, 2026. There is no guarantee that all or any of pre-ordered amounts will come to<br>fruition, as we depend on our customers’ cash flows to manufacture the products as well as the outcome of the initial trial orders<br>for some of our licensees. Our customers that had cash flow difficulties had resolved them, and we have shipped these orders in the fiscal<br>year ending June 30, 2025. |
| --- | --- |
2
| 4) | New Hires — To date, we have not been<br>adequately staffed to be able to reach our projected forecasted revenues. We have been focused on selecting the right new hires to directly<br>assist us to reach our revenue targets, with these hires to be spread across the business to ensure all sectors are adequately staffed<br>and working towards business performance. We expect that we will onboard an additional three sales managers in the year ending June 30,<br>2026 once adequate funds have been raised to assist us in meeting our revenue targets. |

Operating expenses — forthe six months ended December 31, 2024
Our company’s focus has been on research, with our operating expenses being made up of corporate and administrative expenses together with research expenses.
Research expenses — forthe six months ended December 31, 2024
Our research expenses consist of:
| ● | salaries for research staff and consultants, including employee<br>benefits; |
|---|---|
| ● | expenses paid to contracted University for product testing,<br>validation and pre-clinical studies; and |
| --- | --- |
| ● | raw material expenses. |
| --- | --- |
The primary research on our gel based delivery system is complete and the Company has already begun manufacturing across different product verticals in May 2022.
With our product verticals, in the financial year ending June 30, 2026, we will prioritize research and development in our pharmaceutical/OTC vertical. Unlike foods, nutraceuticals, and sporting verticals, pharmaceutical and OTC regulations are stricter and require clinical work or studies. Clinical research and development costs differ at different stages of the product research and development cycle. As our focus is on the 505(b)(2) pathway, these expenses are substantially less than that of a new drug development. However, the studies required can still be unpredictable in cost. While we do all the required lab work possible prior, there is inherent uncertainly in a clinical trial that makes it difficult to be assured of the time when the results will arrive and whether additional trials are needed. Given this, the timing for income generation from these products has uncertainties and we may require additional research and development costs to finalize a product.
The 505(b)(2) pathway is the shortest timeline we can take to register a product with the FDA as the approved timeline requires stability and bioequivalence data rather than three phases of clinical trials. Any trials which have a negative outcome, or any requirements from a regulatory body for additional data will create a delay to income and increase our research and development costs which in turn can have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Corporate and administrative expenses — forthe six months ended December 31, 2024
Our corporate and administrative expenses are primarily made up of staff and consultants’ salaries, employee benefits, professional fees for auditors, consultants and legal counsel and advertising and marketing expenses. Such expenses are incurred in the process of becoming an Australian public company that is to be treated as a public company in the United States.
3
We can expect the corporate and administrative expenses to increase through an increase in staffing expenses and employee benefits, legal and auditor professional fees, fees associated with stock exchange listing and SEC requirements, investor relations expenses and insurances.
As we have products ready for commercialization, the increase in staff expenses is expected to prepare for commercial operations, in particular around sales and marketing of our products.
Financial expenses — for thesix months ended December 31, 2024
Financial expenses mainly includes interest on existing shareholders’ loans at an interest rate of 12% per annum, with a term of 18 months and maturing on July 15, 2023. On January 3, 2023, the existing shareholder loans the Company entered into on January 20, 2022 (totaling AUD$1,493,445 at an interest rate of 12% per annum maturing on July 15, 2023) were extended for an additional 12 months at an interest rate of 12% per annum maturing on July 15, 2024. The foregoing loan extension constitutes a substantial modification per IFRS 9, and therefore the original liability is derecognized on modification date, and the new liability for the extended loans is recognized at fair value discounted using an appropriate discount rate. The resulting gain on the modification of the liability (AUD$222,681, USD$144,743) is recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the June 30, 2023 financial statements. For the six month period ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred financial expenses of approximately AUD$637,594 (USD $414,436) from the closing of its IPO and costs incurred in connection with its continued listing on Nasdaq (December 31, 2023: AUD$102,941). Also, as products are manufactured and sold, together with necessary clinical trials, we can expect an increase in financial expenses which will consist mainly of expenses related to foreign currency exchange transactions and standard bank charges.
Historical Financial Performance — Forthe six month period ended December 31, 2024 and year ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six month period ended December 31,2023.
The Company presents and reports its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in Australian Dollars (AUD$ or A$), its presentation currency.
Historical information
The Company’s financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2024 have been reviewed by M&K CPAS, PLLC in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and Interpretations (collectively IFRSs).
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.

Revenue from contracts with customers
During the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, revenue from contracts with customers was $Nil for both periods.
Raw materials and consumable expenses
During the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not incur any raw materials and consumables expenses.
Research expenses
During the six months ended December 31, 2024, research expenses increased by approximately 212% (AUD$213,538) to AUD$314,472 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2023 (AUD$100,934). The increase in research expenses is due to increased product testing and validations conducted and more time diverted to setting up new research laboratory facilities.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents increased by AUD$3,022,080 to AUD$3,046,602 at December 31, 2024 as compared to June 30, 2024, AUD$24,522, as a result of net cash from financing activities of AUD$6,798,332 (June 30,2024: AUD$843,939) attributable to proceeds from issue of shares from the Company’s IPO (net of capital issue costs) and borrowings proceeds offset by increase in cash used in operating activities of AUD$ 3,594,665 (June 30, 2024: AUD$1,070,471) attributable to increase in payments to suppliers and employees, as well as offset by increase in cash used in investing activities of AUD$328,222 (June 30, 2024: AUD$148,170) attributable to increase in payment for acquisition of intangibles and property, plant and equipment.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables increased by AUD$122,002 to AUD$305,007 at December 31, 2024 as compared to AUD$183,005 as at June 30, 2024.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets (including right-of-use assets) decreased by AUD$279,688 to AUD$20,158,270 at December 31, 2024 as compared to AUD$20,437,958 as at June 30, 2024, predominantly due to amortization of AUD$606,497 of trade secrets for the period ended December 31, 2024.
6
Trade and Other payables
Trade and other payables decreased by AUD$665,395 to AUD$892,791 at December 31, 2024 as compared to AUD$1,558,186 as at June 30, 2024, primarily attributable to the repayment of long outstanding salary payable, PAYG and superannuation.
Other Income
Other income for the period ended December 31, 2024 has increased by AUD$234,533 to AUD$311,412 as compared to AUD$76,879 for the period ended December 31, 2023. Other income comprises the Research and Development tax incentive and foreign exchange gain discussed below. The Company has received in the period ended December 31, 2024 the R&D incentive for the period ended June 30, 2023 which explains the increase as compared to the period ended December 31, 2023.
The Company is eligible for the Australian Government Research and Development Tax Incentive (“R&D Tax Incentive”) that provides tax offsets for expenditure on eligible R&D activities. Under the program, the Company is entitled to a refundable R&D credit in Australia on the eligible R&D expenditures incurred on eligible R&D activities. The R&D Tax Incentive is overseen by the Australian Taxation Office and AusIndustry, a business advisory arm of the Australian government. The R&D Tax Incentive legislation, Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, Division 355, provides for a refundable R&D tax offset equal to the Company’s corporate tax rate plus an 18.5% premium for companies with an aggregated turnover of below AUD$20 million.
The refundable R&D tax offset is accounted for under IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, as per which the R&D tax offset income is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that it will be received. It is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the same period that the related costs are recognized as expenses and relates to refundable amounts on approved expenses.
Borrowings (current and non-current)
Total Borrowings at December 31, 2024, were AUD$3,896,328 of which AUD$3,882,778 is current and AUD$13,550 is non-current, compared to AUD$3,843,599 as at June 30 2024, of which AUD$2,084,152 was current and AUD$1,759,447 was non-current. The increase in total borrowings is due to the issuance of convertible notes totaling AUD$747,262, accrued convertible note interest of AUD$97,266 and a net increase of accrued shareholder loan interest of AUD$298,726, less debt discount on convertible notes of AUD$1,090,893. In addition, all borrowings, other than 2 director loans, have been reclassified from non-current to current during the period June 30, 2024 to December 31, 2024, as their repayment date is less than 12 months after December 31, 2024.
Convertible notes and derivative liabilities
Convertible notes payable are financial instruments which contain a separate financial liability and equity instrument. Such financial instruments are accounted for separately dependent on the nature of their components. The identification of such components embedded within a convertible notes payable requires significant judgement given that it is based on the interpretation of the substance of the contractual arrangement. The convertible notes issued by the Company are considered to contain embedded derivatives. The embedded derivatives were measured at fair value upon initial recognition based on a Black-Scholes valuation model and separated from the debt component of the notes. The debt component of the notes is measured at residual value upon initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, the embedded derivative components are re-measured at fair value at each reporting date while the debt components are accreted to the face value of the note using the effective interest rate through periodic charges to finance expense over the term of the note.
In accordance with IFRS 9, where an indeterminate number of shares may be issued in due course upon the conversion of the convertible notes, or the convertible notes are convertible at a discount to market, the embedded derivative is accounted for as a liability.
The Company’s shares attained a trading stock price upon the completion of the IPO and listing of the Company’s shares. As such, the Company is required to value and separately account for the derivative embedded within convertible notes issued by the Company. Please see Note 3 and Note 20 in the financial statement for the six months ending December 31, 2024 and 2023 commencing on page F-8 and page F-29 respectively.

The AUD$1,639,710 increase in corporate and administrative expenses during the period ended December 31, 2024, relative to December 31, 2023, was predominantly due to an increase in (i) IPO related expenses by AUD$534,653, (ii) consulting fees by AUD$408,384 due to an increase in external consultants used, (iii) corporate expenses by AUD$358,324, due to higher professional and management fees, (iv) finance costs by AUD$333,994 due to increase in borrowing and (v) other expenses by AUD$178,153 during the period ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the period ended December 31, 2023. The increase in corporate and administrative expenses as compared to the period ended December 31, 2023 was offset by a decrease in employment expenses of AUD$271,032, due to fewer employees and consequently lower wages and salaries relative to the period ended December 31, 2023.

Six months ended December 31, 2024and 2023
As at December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of AUD$3,046,602 compared to AUD$126,784 as at December 31, 2023, an increase in cash and cash equivalents of AUD$2,919,818.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents is predominantly due to the following activities:
For the period ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was AUD$3,441,439 relative to AUD$429,172 for the corresponding period last year, registering an increase of AUD$3,012,267. The increase in cash used in operating activity is predominantly due to an increase in payments to employees and suppliers of AUD$3,423,048 (December 31, 2023: AUD$732,093) offset by decrease in cash receipts from customers of AUD$Nil (December 31, 2023: AUD$40,000) and decrease in Research and Development tax incentives received of AUD$Nil (December 31, 2023: AUD$263,057).
For the period ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was AUD$328,222 (compared to AUD$79,961 for the corresponding period ended December 31, 2023) due to an increase in acquisition of property, plant and equipment and intangibles.
For the period ended December 31, 2024, net cash from financing activities was AUD$6,798,322 (December 31, 2023: AUD$236,693) an increase of AUD$6,561,639. The difference is primarily driven by proceeds from issue of shares of AUD$7,913,463 at December 31, 2024, compared to AUD$Nil in the corresponding period last year and borrowing proceeds of AUD$747,261 as at December 31, 2024 compared to AUD$248,588 in the corresponding period last year, resulting in an increase of AUD$498,673, offset by proceeds of capital issue cost of AUD$1,862,392 (December 31, 2023: AUD$Nil)
For the period ended December 31, 2024, the difference in the effects of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents was due to movements in USD/AUD exchange rates and amounts held in foreign currencies.
Cash Flow
In January 2023, we negotiated with holders of our unsecured loans to extend the terms of the loans for another 12 months on the same terms from July 2023 until July 2024. In October 2023, all holders of the unsecured loans have agreed to further extend the terms of the loans until December 31, 2024, which were further extended until December 31, 2025 by the agreement of all holders in October 2024. These extensions further helped reduce our immediate or short term liabilities in the fiscal years ending June 30, 2023 and 2024. We expect to require further extensions for such loans for the year ending June 30, 2025 to reduce the short term liability if the Company determines this is needed.
On October 3, 2023, the Company closed the Convertible Note offering raising approximately AUD$1,004,889 (AUD$410,000 plus USD$400,000 calculated at the daily exchange rate when each amount was received). Each Convertible Note shall have a face value of AUD$1, an annual interest rate of 12% and have a maturity date of December 31, 2025. Each holder of a Convertible Note may, prior to 90 days of their maturity date and pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note, either elect to convert their Convertible Note into Ordinary Shares or redeem their Convertible Note for an Australian cash payment. The December 31, 2025 repayment date of the Convertible Notes were intended to alleviate the Company’s short term liabilities.
On March 26, 2024, the Company closed the February 2024 Convertible Note offering, raising **** AUD$357,338 (approximately AUD$75,000 plus approximately USD$185,000 calculated at the daily exchange rate when each amount was received). Each February 2024 Convertible Note shall have a face value of AUD$1, an annual interest rate of 6% and have a maturity date of December 31, 2025. Each holder of a February 2024 Convertible Note may, prior to 90 days of their maturity date and pursuant to the terms of the February 2024 Convertible Note, either elect to convert their February 2024 Convertible Note into Ordinary Shares or redeem their February 2024 Convertible Note for an Australian cash payment. The December 31, 2025 repayment date of the February 2024 Convertible Notes are intended to alleviate the Company’s short term liabilities.

On May 27, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved the issuance of convertible notes (the “May 2024 Convertible Note”) to raise up to AUD$1,000,000. Each May 2024 Convertible Note had a face value of AUD$1, an annual interest rate of 6% and have a maturity date of December 31, 2025. Each holder of a May 2024 Convertible Note may, prior to 90 days of their maturity date and pursuant to the terms therein, either elect to convert their May 2024 Convertible Note into Ordinary Shares at a conversion discount rate of 22% or redeem their May 2024 Convertible Note for an Australian cash payment. The Company has received approximately AUD$1million (approximately AUD$315,000 plus approximately USD$450,000 calculated at the daily exchange rate when each amount was received) through the issuance of the May 2024 Convertible Notes.
The Company closed its initial public offering on October 30, 2024, issuing 1.3 million ordinary shares at an issue price of US$4.00 per share and raising USD$5.2 million (approximately AUD$8.00 million) before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses.
To reduce the Company’s debt position and improve its balance sheet, the Company in January 2025 offered existing convertible note and shareholder loan holders the ability to convert their loans into equity, be repaid or continue to maturity. For the then outstanding convertible notes, a total of AUD $822,184 (approximately USD$534,420) was converted in March 2025 by the election of the noteholders into Ordinary Shares at a share price of USD$2.14. In March 2025, the Company paid to loan holders an aggregate of AUD$772,136 (approximately USD$501,888) in order to redeem their loans. The remaining principal and interest on the outstanding shareholder loans will accrue until maturity in December 2025.
On February 21, 2025, our board of directors approved the issuance of convertible notes (the “February 2025 Convertible Note”) to raise up to AUD$1,500,000. Each February 2025 Convertible Note had a face value of AUD$1, an annual interest rate of 20% and have a maturity date of July 1, 2026. Each holder of a February 2025 Convertible Note may at any time elect to convert their February 2025 Convertible Note into Ordinary Shares at a conversion price of USD$2.00. Each holder of a February 2025 Convertible Note may, prior to 90 days of their maturity date and pursuant to the terms therein, either elect to convert their February 2025 Convertible Note into Ordinary Shares at a conversion price of USD$2.00 or redeem their February 2025 Convertible Note for an Australian cash payment. As of the date of this filing, the Company has received approximately AUD$580,000 (approximately USD$377,000) through the issuance of the February 2025 Convertible Notes.
We do not expect to require additional capital apart from the proceeds of this offering should our operations continue as forecasted. Should we experience lower than expected sales volumes or lower growth opportunities, then we may be required to consider additional financing options to continue the Company’s growth to achieve positive cash flow. However, we intend to adjust our expenses to align with the revenue generated to ensure we remain financially solvent. See further discussion within the section “Risk Factors — There is substantial doubt aboutour ability to continue as a going concern.”
To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities could result in substantial dilution for our current shareholders. The terms of any securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect on the holders of any of our securities then-outstanding. We may issue additional Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our Ordinary Shares in connection with hiring or retaining personnel, option or warrant exercises, future acquisitions or future placements of our securities for capital-raising or other business purposes. The issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to decline and existing shareholders may not agree with our financing plans or the terms of such financings. In addition, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition. Furthermore, any additional debt or equity financing that we may need may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis, we may have to curtail our research and development activities and growth plans and/or be forced to sell assets, perhaps on unfavorable terms, or we may have to cease our operations, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Qualitative and Quantitative Informationon Financial Risks
Financial Risk Management, including marketrisk (foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk)
Our activities expose us to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
Our overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.
We use different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and beta analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk.
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
We have only very minor exposure to foreign currency risk. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. Management understands that, over the next twelve months, it will deal in a much greater volume in foreign currencies and are in the process of having in place a risk management policy accordingly.
Price risk
We are not exposed to any significant price risk.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
We have limited exposure to interest rate risk arising from long-term borrowings as these are based on fixed rates. There are no borrowings obtained at variable rates for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. All cash is held in checking accounts or on hand, and do not earn interest.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the group. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognized financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Company does not hold any collateral.
All trade and other receivables are current as at December 31, 2024, with no balances past due.
The Company recorded no bad debt expense in the six months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no expected credit losses recorded.
Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Company 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. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Borrowings as at December 31, 2024 are fully drawn.
11
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the consolidated 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 within the next financial year are summarized below.
Impacts of Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the COVID pandemic has had, or may have, on the Company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Company operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Company unfavorably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The Company determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortization charges for its finite life intangible assets. The useful lives of such assets could change significantly due to events such as technical innovations. The depreciation and amortization charge will increase where the useful life of an asset is less than previously estimated, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
Intangible assets
The Company tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether indefinite life or finite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 3 in the December 31, 2024 financial statement. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on a fair value less cost to sell calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.
Impairment analysis conducted at the period ended December 31, 2024
For the period ended December 31, 2024, we had prioritized pharmaceutical research and improving operational processes, and we expect to grow and execute on our business plans with lower overheads and expenses in the financial year ending June 30, 2025. To facilitate this, we entered into a rental contract for laboratory facilities with Monash University on February 2, 2024 (the “Monash Facilities”) for further research purposes. Our lack of personnel, our focus on research, and identifying and establishing a laboratory facility, adversely affected our ability to entered new sales opportunities which resulted in nil sales revenue for the period ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
12
With the Monash Facilities established and fitted, we are resuming our sales activities with a focus on the nutraceutical and sports vertical for the year ending June 30, 2025. For the year ended June 30, 2026, we expect to add animal health, over-the-counter and pharmaceuticals verticals to our sales activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are currently prioritizing pharmaceutical research on our existing 505b(2) application and seeking other potential pharmaceutical candidates through such pathway.
The delay in completing the January 2023 orders, and recognizing the relevant component of the outstanding deferred revenue balance as income, is due to certain of our clients which experienced cash flow difficulties and was not able to pay for their outstanding orders. However, such orders are now manufactured and shipped in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. We have also put in place more rigorous qualification procedures to ensure customers have the financial ability to proceed with orders through to manufacturing in a timely manner. In the event that cash flow difficulties continue for such customers, we have instituted a policy where all orders and deposits are non-refundable and we will not process refunds for non-payments. As a result of the foregoing delays, we have not recognized revenues from undelivered orders for the period ended December 31, 2024 and we expect to recognize such revenues upon delivering these orders for the year ending June 30, 2025.
The delayed processing of orders does not adversely affect our assumptions underpinning the valuation model and analysis as used at December 31, 2024. The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit has been determined by a forecast model that estimated the future cash flows based on budgets and forecasts for five years prepared by our management. As part of a valuation of the intangible assets performed by an independent expert valuer as at June 30, 2024, such experts extended the forecasts for an additional four years for a total forecast period of nine years on the basis that, for early stage businesses that are reasonably expected of high growth for a significant period of time, it is generally necessary to forecast cash flows for a period greater than five years to reflect the business reaching a mature stable level of growth to apply a terminal value calculation. For the purposes of the assessment of the coverable amount of the cash generating unit as at December 31, 2024, our management has continued to adopt this approach, on the basis that, as at that date, we remain an early stage business with the same characteristics it had when the expert valuer performed the previous valuation.
Further, included at the end of the forecast period is a terminal value reflecting a continuing value at the end of the forecast period on the basis of capitalizing free cash flows in perpetuity at a growth rate of 2.5% per annum. These cash flows were then discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the cash generating unit. The sensitivity analysis performed continued to show significant headroom over the carrying value of the intangible assets at December 31, 2024, notwithstanding revenue was nil for the period ended December 31, 2024.
In terms of product and sales development, and in support of the foregoing assumption in revenue opportunities, for our analysis for the period ended December 31, 2024, we have identified potential customers for the financial year ending June 30, 2026. We have discussed with such potential customers on product opportunities, product type, potential quantities and the timing of orders. We believe we have the potential to generate revenue from such customers, through customers that have placed or are about to place a purchase order with us.
As we continue to grow and invest in sales and marketing, we expect to identify additional customers. We intend to use the net proceeds from our initial public offering and this offering to generate revenue by investing in sales, marketing and manufacturing to leverage commercial opportunities to generate the expected increase in future revenue growth as compared to the period ended December 31, 2024.
For the period ended December 31, 2024, we generated no revenue. We are an early-stage company and it is reasonably expected that we will have significant revenue growth during our early years. As such, we have shipped over 400,000 units for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 from prior orders.
The potential customers which we have identified as revenue opportunities for the financial years ended June 30, 2026 and 2027 would expect to underpin the revenue growth in the next two years. Our forecasts of annual revenue growth is 259% for the financial year ended June 30, 2026, approximately 117% for the financial year ended June 30, 2027, 86% for the financial year ended June 30, 2028 and 38% for the financial year ended June 30, 2029.
For the financial year beginning July 1, 2027, the Company’s incremental annual revenue growth is supported by an analysis of additional revenue opportunities through scaling up and expected increased market penetration in the existing nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and animal nutraceutical markets.
13
Recognition of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and carried forward losses, only if the Company considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.
Leases — Incremental borrowingrate
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the Company estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.
Employee benefits provision
As discussed in Note 3 of the December 31, 2024 financial statements the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognized and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, the Company has considered the estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation.
Going Concern
The working capital position as at December 31, 2024 of the Company results in an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $1,339,525 (June 30, 2024: excess of current liabilities over current assets of $3,562,838). The Company had a loss, after income tax, of $3,304,359 during the six-month ended December 31, 2024 (six-month period ended December 31, 2023 loss: $1,685,644). As of December 31, 2024, there were no capital commitments outstanding. The cash balances as at December 31, 2024 was $3,046,602 (June 30, 2024: $24,522).
The above matters give rise to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the board of directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements, after considering the following matters:
| ● | The board of directors have prepared detailed cash flow projections<br>for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended<br>December 31, 2024. |
|---|---|
| ● | The Company’s ability to fund its operations is dependent<br>upon management’s plans and execution, which include raising additional capital, if required, through public and other offerings,<br>obtaining regulatory approvals for its products and generating revenues from these products and having the ability to be able to reduce<br>expenditures accordingly if required, in order to be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | On February 21, 2025 the Company’s board of directors<br>approved by resolution to raise up to AUD$1,500,000 in convertible notes with a maturity date of July 1, 2026 such that the Company<br>may continue to operate as a going concern. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | On March 13, 2025, the Company signed the Purchase Agreement,<br>whereby the Company may receive gross proceeds of up to USD$12,000,000 from the sale of Ordinary Shares to Lincoln Park under the Purchase<br>Agreement, from time to time, at our discretion after a registration statement is declared effective and after satisfaction of other<br>conditions in the Purchase Agreement. |
| --- | --- |
The Company’s six month condensed consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2024 have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The six month condensed consolidated financial statements for December 31. 2024 do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 1. General information
The condensed consolidated financial statements covers Gelteq Limited (“Gelteq” or the “Company”) and its controlled entities (referred to herein as the “Consolidated Entity”). Gelteq Limited is a Company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Gelteq Limited’s functional and presentation currency.
The principal activities of the consolidated entity during the periods ended 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 (financial period(s)) were the development and testing of a gel-based delivery system for humans.
The names of the directors in office at any time during or since the end of the financial period are:
| Simon Szewach (Executive Chairman)* | |
|---|---|
| Nathan Jacob. Givoni (Executive Director) | |
| Jeff Olyniec (Non-Executive Director) | |
| Philip Dalidakis (Non-Executive Director) | |
| Prof David Morton (Non-Executive Director) (Resigned on 30 April 2025) | |
| * | Mr. Simon resigned as an executive Chairman on 31 March 2025<br>and remains as a non-executive Chairman as at the date of this report. |
| --- | --- |
The directors have been in office since the start of the financial period to the date of this report unless otherwise stated.
The condensed consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 30 June 2025.
Note 2. Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars, which is also the Consolidated Entity’s functional currency. Amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar, unless otherwise stated.
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and Interpretations (collectively IFRSs).
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in compliance with adopted IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Consolidated Entity’s management to exercise judgment in applying the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies. The areas where significant judgments and estimates have been made in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements and their effect are disclosed in note 4.
Basis of measurement
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
These general purpose condensed consolidated financial statements for the reporting periods ended 31 December 2024 and 30 June 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities.
These general purpose condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, where appropriate these condensed consolidated financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

Note 2. Basis of preparation (cont.)
New standards, interpretations and amendmentseffective — December 2024
The Consolidated Entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
New standards, interpretations and amendmentsnot yet effective — December 2024
There are a number of standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations which have been issued by the IASB that are effective in future accounting periods that the Consolidated Entity has decided not to adopt early.
The following amendments to standards are applicable to the Company and effective for future reporting periods:
IFRS18 Presentation and Disclosure in FinancialStatements
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. The standard replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, with many of the original disclosure requirements retained and there will be no impact on the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements. But the standard will affect presentation and disclosure in the financial statements, including introducing five categories in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations. The standard introduces two mandatory sub-totals in the statement: ‘Operating profit’ and ‘Profit before financing and income taxes’. There are also new disclosure requirements for ‘management-defined performance measures’, such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (‘EBITDA’) or ‘adjusted profit’. The standard provides enhanced guidance on grouping of information (aggregation and disaggregation), including whether to present this information in the primary financial statements or in the notes. The Consolidated Entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2027. As at reporting date, the Consolidated Entity has not completed an assessment on the impact of the standard, but it is expected that there will be a material change to the layout of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Amendments to IAS 21 — Lack of Exchangeability
The amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. The Standard amends IAS 21 and IFRS 1 to require entities to apply a consistent approach to determining whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency and the spot exchange rate to use when it is not exchangeable. New disclosures are required to help users assess the impact of using an estimated exchange rate on the financial statements. The Consolidated Entity will adopt this standard from its application date and where appropriate incorporate the additional disclosures required.
These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. However, management will continue to assess this closer to the application date of each standard.
Other
The Consolidated Entity does not expect any other standards issued by the IASB, but not yet effective, to have a material impact on the Consolidated Entity.
(a) Principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Gelteq Limited (‘Company’ or ‘Parent entity’) as at 31 December 2024 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period ended 31 December 2024 and the period ended 31 December 2023 . Gelteq Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these condensed consolidated financial statements as the ‘Consolidated Entity’.
F-7
| Gelteq Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2024 |
|---|
Note 2. Basis of preparation (cont.)
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Company are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the asset acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Where the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Company recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Note 3. Summary of significant accountingpolicies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Revenue from contracts withcustomers
Revenue arises mainly from the manufacturing and sale of products. To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Consolidated Entity follows a 5-step process:
| (1) | Identifying the contract with a customer |
|---|---|
| (2) | Identifying the performance obligations |
| --- | --- |
| (3) | Determining the transaction price |
| --- | --- |
| (4) | Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations |
| --- | --- |
| (5) | Recognising revenue when/as the performance obligations are<br>satisfied. |
| --- | --- |
Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time, when the Consolidated Entity satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers.
The Consolidated Entity recognises contract liabilities for consideration received in respect to unsatisfied performance obligations and reports these amounts as other liabilities (which we refer to as deferred revenues) in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position. Similarly, if the Consolidated Entity satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, the Consolidated Entity recognises either a contract asset or a receivable in its condensed consolidated statement of financial position, depending on whether something other than the passage of time is required before the consideration is due.
Sale of Products
Revenue from sale of product for a fixed fee is recognised when or as the Consolidated Entity transfers control of the assets to the customer.

Note 3. Summary of significant accountingpolicies (cont.)
(b) Research and Development Tax Incentive
The Research and Development Tax Incentive programme provides tax offsets for expenditure on eligible R&D activities. Under the programme, the Consolidated Entity, is entitled to a refundable R&D credit in Australia on the eligible R&D expenditure incurred on eligible R&D activities. The refundable R&D tax offset is accounted for under IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, as per which the R&D tax offset income is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that it will be received. It is recognised in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the same period that the related costs are recognised as expenses and relates to refundable amounts on approved expenses.
(c) Business Combinations/Asset Acquisitions
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is obtained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed are recognised (subject to certain limited exceptions).
If the acquisition of an asset or a group of assets does not constitute a business, the individual identifiable assets acquired (including intangible assets) and liabilities are assumed. The cost of the group shall be allocated to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their relative fair values at the date of purchase. Such a transaction or event does not give rise to goodwill.
Determining whether a particular set of assets and activities is a business should be based on whether the integrated set is capable of being conducted and managed as a business by a market participant. Thus, in evaluating whether a particular set is a business, it is not relevant whether a seller operated the set as a business or whether the acquirer intends to operate the set as a business. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, a particular set of assets and activities in which goodwill is present shall be presumed to be a business. However, a business need not have goodwill.
(d) Income Tax
The income tax expense (income) for the periods ended 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the period, as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss or arising from a business combination.
Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
F-9
| Gelteq Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2024 |
|---|
Note 3. Summary of significant accountingpolicies (cont.)
A deferred tax liability shall be recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax liability arises from:
| (a) | the initial recognition of goodwill; or |
|---|---|
| (b) | the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction<br>which: |
| --- | --- |
| (i) | is not a business combination; and |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting<br>profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). |
| --- | --- |
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
(e) Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
The Consolidated Entity measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.
Fair value is the price the Consolidated Entity would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
(f) Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Consolidated Entity commits itself to either purchase or sell the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
F-10
| Gelteq Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2024 |
|---|
Note 3. Summary of significant accountingpolicies (cont.)
Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs, except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ in which case transactions costs are recognised as expenses in profit or loss immediately. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component or if the practical expedient was applied as specified in IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at:
| – | amortised cost; or |
|---|---|
| – | fair value through profit and loss. |
| --- | --- |
A financial liability is measured at fair value through profit and loss if the financial liability is:
| – | a contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination<br>to which IFRS 3: Business Combinations applies; |
|---|---|
| – | held for trading; or |
| --- | --- |
| – | initially designated as at fair value through profit or loss. |
| --- | --- |
All other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense to profit or loss over the relevant period.
The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the financial asset or liability. That is, it is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition.
Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship.
The change in fair value of the financial liability attributable to changes in the issuer’s credit risk is taken to other comprehensive income and is not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Instead, it is transferred to retained earnings upon derecognition of the financial liability.
If taking the change in credit risk to other comprehensive income enlarges or creates an accounting mismatch, these gains or losses should be taken to profit or loss rather than other comprehensive income. A financial liability cannot be reclassified.
Financial assets
Financial assets are subsequently measured at:
| – | amortised cost; |
|---|---|
| – | fair value through other comprehensive income; or |
| --- | --- |
| – | fair value through profit or loss. |
| --- | --- |
F-11
| Gelteq Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2024 |

Note 3. Summary of significant accountingpolicies (cont.)
Measurement is on the basis of two primary criteria:
| – | the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial<br>asset; and |
|---|---|
| – | the business model for managing the financial assets. |
| --- | --- |
A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at amortised cost:
| – | the financial asset is managed solely to collect contractual<br>cash flows; and |
|---|---|
| – | contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to<br>cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates. |
| --- | --- |
A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at amortised cost:
| – | the financial asset is managed solely to collect contractual<br>cash flows; and |
|---|---|
| – | the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise<br>to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates. |
| --- | --- |
A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:
| – | the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise<br>to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates; and |
|---|---|
| – | the business model for managing the financial asset comprises<br>both contractual cash flows collection and the selling of the financial asset. |
| --- | --- |
By default, all other financial assets that do not meet the measurement conditions of amortised cost and fair value through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Consolidated Entity initially designates a financial instrument as measured at fair value through profit or loss if:
| ● | it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition<br>inconsistency (often referred to as an “accounting mismatch”) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities<br>or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases; |
|---|---|
| ● | it is in accordance with the documented risk management or<br>investment strategy and information about the groupings is documented appropriately, so the performance of the financial liability that<br>is part of a group of financial liabilities or financial assets can be managed and evaluated consistently on a fair value basis; and |
| --- | --- |
| ● | it is a hybrid contract that contains an embedded derivative<br>that significantly modifies the cash flows otherwise required by the contract. |
| --- | --- |
The initial measurement of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss is a one-time option on initial classification and is irrevocable until the financial asset is derecognised.
Derecognition
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e. when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial modification to the terms of a financial liability, is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition of a new financial liability.
F-12
| Gelteq Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2024 |
|---|
Note 3. Summary of significant accountingpolicies (cont.)
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised when the holder’s contractual rights to its cash flows expires, or the asset is transferred in such a way that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred.
All the following criteria need to be satisfied for the derecognition of a financial asset:
| ● | the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired<br>or been transferred; |
|---|---|
| ● | all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been<br>substantially transferred; and |
| --- | --- |
| ● | the Consolidated Entity no longer controls the asset (i.e<br>it has no practical ability to make unilateral decisions to sell the asset to a third party). |
| --- | --- |
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
On derecognition of a debt instrument classified as fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
Convertible notes payable
Convertible notes payable are financial instruments which contain a separate financial liability and equity instrument. These financial instruments are accounted for separately dependent on the nature of their components. The identification of such components embedded within a convertible notes payable requires significant judgement given that it is based on the interpretation of the substance of the contractual arrangement. The convertible notes are considered to contain embedded derivatives. The embedded derivatives were measured at fair value upon initial recognition based on a Black-Scholes valuation model and separated from the debt component of the notes. The debt component of the notes is measured at residual value upon initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, the embedded derivative components are re-measured at fair value at each reporting date while the debt components are accreted to the face value of the note using the effective interest rate through periodic charges to finance expense over the term of the note.
In accordance with IFRS 9, where an indeterminate number of shares may be issued in due course upon the conversion of the convertible notes, or the convertible notes are convertible at a discount to market, the embedded derivative is accounted for as a liability.
(g) Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Consolidated Entity assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include considering external sources of information and internal sources of information, including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recover able amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Consolidated Entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

(h) Inventories
Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a ‘first in first out’ basis. Cost comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, direct labour, import duties and taxes, an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on normal operating capacity. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable.
Raw materials, finished goods and work in progress are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the ‘first in first out’ basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(i) Right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Consolidated Entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The Consolidated Entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
(j) Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill
Trade secrets
Trade secrets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately, including those acquired in a business combination recognised separately from goodwill, are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which are disclosed below. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Research and development
Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred.
Under IFRS 138, An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) shall be recognised if, and only if, an entity can demonstrate all of the following:
| (a) | the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset<br>so that it will be available for use or sale. |
|---|---|
| (b) | its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or<br>sell it. |
| --- | --- |
| (c) | its ability to use or sell the intangible asset. |
| --- | --- |
| (d) | how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic<br>benefits. Among other things, the entity can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible<br>asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset. |
| --- | --- |
| (e) | the availability of adequate technical, financial and other<br>resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset. |
| --- | --- |
| (f) | its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable<br>to the intangible asset during its development. |
| --- | --- |
Development expenditure that does not meet the criteria for capitalisation above are recognised as an expense as incurred.

Note 3. Summary of significant accountingpolicies (cont.)
Patents & trademarks
Patents and trademarks are measured initially at purchase cost and are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.
The amortisation rates used for each class of intangible asset with a finite useful life are:
| Class of Intangible Asset | Amortisation Period |
|---|
| Trade Secrets | 20 Years |
| Patents and Trademarks | 20 Years |
Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
(k) Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the companies in the Consolidated Entity is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that Company operates. The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Parent company’s functional currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is directly recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss.
(l) Employee Benefit Provisions
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for accumulating annual leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for long service leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(m) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
(n) Government Grants
Government grants received on capital expenditure are generally deducted in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset purchased. Grants for revenue expenditure are recognised as other income by the Consolidated Entity. Where retention of a government grant is dependent on the Consolidated Entity satisfying certain criteria, it is initially recognised as deferred income. When the criteria for retention have been satisfied, the deferred income balance is released to the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income or netted against the asset purchased.
(o) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
(p) Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
Trade and other payables are initially measured their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Accruals are recognised when they can be reasonably estimated and attributed to the relevant financial period. They are assessed for fair value and carried at amortised cost. They are derecognised when a liability for payment is raised as a trade or other payable.
(q) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the year of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Consolidated Entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Note 3. Summary of significant accountingpolicies (cont.)
(r) Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Consolidated Entity’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
(s) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
(t) Earnings per Share (EPS)
Basic loss per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Consolidated Entity, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period.
Diluted loss per share
Diluted loss per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic loss per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares, unless anti dilutive.
(u) Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’, where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.
(v) Share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

Note 3. Summary of significant accountingpolicies (cont.)
Equity-settled transactions
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is generally determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Consolidated Entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions. There are no such equity settled transactions where fair value is measured under these methods for financial current or previous reporting periods.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
Cash-settled transactions
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:
| ● | during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting<br>date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period. |
|---|---|
| ● | from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the<br>award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date. |
| --- | --- |
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.
There are no cash settled transactions for period ended 31 March 2024, or the period ended 31^st^ December 2024 or the 2024 financial period.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Consolidated Entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Consolidated Entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

(w) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial period.
Where the Consolidated Entity retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, a third statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the minimum comparative condensed consolidated financial statements is presented
Note 4. Critical accounting judgements,estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated 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.
Impacts of Covid-19
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the condensed consolidated financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavorably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortization charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
Intangible assets
The Consolidated Entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether indefinite life or finite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 3. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.
Going Concern
The working capital position as at 31 December 2024 of the Consolidated Entity results in an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $1,339,525 (30 June 2024: excess of current liabilities over current assets $3,562,838). The Consolidated Entity made a loss after income tax of $3,304,359 during the six-month ended 31 December 2024 (6-month period ended December 2023 loss: $1,702,803). As of 31 December 2024, there are no capital commitments outstanding. The cash balances as at 31 December 2024 was $3,046,602 (30 June 2024: $24,522).

Note 4. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (cont.)
The above matters give rise to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt over the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Consolidated Entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements. Notwithstanding the above matters, the Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Consolidated Entity will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report, after considering the following matters:
| ● | The directors have prepared detailed cash flow projections<br>for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing this consolidated financial report. |
|---|---|
| ● | The Consolidated Entity’s ability to fund its operations<br>is dependent upon management’s plans and execution, which include raising additional capital, if required, through public and other<br>offerings, obtaining regulatory approvals for its products and generating revenues from these products and having the ability to be able<br>to reduce expenditure accordingly if required, in order to be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | On 21 February, 2025 the Consolidated Entity’s board<br>of directors approved by resolution a raising of up to AUD$1,500,000 in Convertible Notes with a maturity date of 1 July, 2026 such that<br>the Company may continue to operate as a going concern. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | On 13 March, 2025, the Consolidated Entity signed a purchase<br>agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) for an Equity Line of Credit, whereby we may receive gross<br>proceeds of up to USD$12,000,000 from the sale of Ordinary Shares to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, from time to time, at<br>our discretion after a registration statement is declared effective and after satisfaction of other conditions in the Purchase Agreement. |
| --- | --- |
The Consolidated Entity’s six month condensed consolidated financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The six month condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities should the Consolidated Entity be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 5. Operating segments
During the current financial period, the Consolidated Entity operated in one segment.
IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about the components of the Consolidated Entity that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. In the current year the board reviews the Consolidated Entity as one operating segment being the development and testing of a gel based delivery system for humans and animals within Australia.

Assessment for impairment — 31 December 2024
Methodology
An impairment loss expense in the profit or loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The Consolidated Entity determined the recoverable amounts of the Gelteq Consolidated Entity as one CGU using a value in use approach
The recoverable amount of the CGU has been determined by a forecast model that estimated the future cash flows based on budgets and forecasts for five years prepared by management. As part of a valuation of the intangible assets by an independent expert valuer performed as at 30 June 2024, the independent expert valuers extended the forecasts for an additional 4 years for a total forecast period of 9 years on the basis that, in the case of early stage businesses that are reasonably expective of high growth for a significant period of time, it is generally necessary to forecast cash flows for a period greater than five years to reflect the business reaching a mature stable level of growth to enable the application of a terminal value calculation. For the purposes of the assessment of the coverable amount of the CGU as at 31 December 2024, management has continued to adopt this approach, on the basis that, as at that date, the nature of the business remains an early stage business with the same characteristics it had when the expert valuer performed the previous valuation. Also included at the end of the forecast period is a terminal value reflecting a continuing value at the end of the forecast period on the basis of capitalising free cash flows in perpetuity at a growth rate of 2.5% per annum.
These cash flows were then discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU. Management then cross-checked the total of the discounted cash flows against the trading of the Company’s shares.
A reference to Financial Years (FY), refers to a period covering July 1^st^ to June 30^th^ the next year. A reference to a calendar year (CY) refers to the period from January 1^st^ to December 31^st^ of the same year.
The discounted cash flow model used in the assessment of fair value less cost to sell is sensitive to a number of key assumptions, including revenue growth rates, discount rates and operating costs. These assumptions can change over short periods of time and can have a significant impact on the carrying value of the assets. For any AUD figures presented from the valuation analysis, these have been obtained by conversion from USD at an exchange rate of 1 AUD = 0.66 USD.

Note 17. Intangible assets (cont.)
Fair value less cost to sell and keyassumptions
The Company estimates the fair value less cost to sell of the Gelteq Consolidated Entity cash generating unit (CGU) using discounted cash flows. Management assumptions were developed incorporating internal and external market information, although the extent to which they rely on past experience of the Consolidated Entity is limited given the consolidated entity has not yet started full scale operations, pending completion of preparatory activities where necessary, with external sources of information having been adjusted to reflect factors specific to the Consolidated Entity. Fair value less cost to sell is categorised within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
For the reporting period ended 31 December 2024, the recoverable amount of the CGU was determined based on fair value less cost to sell calculations which required the use of key assumptions:
Operating Segments
The Consolidated Entity’s cash flows are generated from one CGU which covers nutraceuticals for humans and animals, pharmaceutical for humans and animals and controlled substances.
Cash Flow projections
| ● | The calculations used cash flow projections based on financial<br>budgets and forecasts approved by management covering CY25 to CY29. The projections included negative undiscounted operating cash flows<br>between CY25 and CY26 before making positive operating returns from CY27 onwards as the business scales up operations and operating margins<br>that are in line with industry averages in similar industries. A full 5 years of cash flow projections were used to allow for 2-3 years<br>of positive cash flow projections in the management forecast period. As noted above, as part of a valuation of the intangible assets<br>by an independent expert valuer performed as at 30 June 2024, the independent valuation experts extended the forecasts for an additional<br>4 years for a total forecast period of 9 years on the basis that, in the case of early stage businesses that are reasonably<br>expective of high growth for a significant period of time, it is generally necessary to forecast cash flows for a period greater than<br>five years to reflect the business reaching a mature stable level of growth to enable the application of a terminal value calculation.<br>For the purposes of the assessment of the coverable amount of the CGU as at 31 December 2024, management has continued to adopt this<br>approach, on the basis that, as at that date, the nature of the business remains an early stage business with the same characteristics<br>it had when the expert valuer performed the previous valuation. |
|---|---|
| ● | A pre-tax discount rate range of 22-24%, reflecting rates<br>of return required by typical investors in early-stage businesses similar to the Consolidated Entity, was applied. |
| --- | --- |
Revenue —
| ● | Management have implemented a hybrid revenue model with revenue<br>generated from manufacturing and royalties (on each individual order). |
|---|---|
| ● | The forecast model is based on a 4 year compound average growth<br>rate of 114%, based on management forecasts to CY29. The model forecast revenue growth rates 219% in CY26, 175% in CY27, 83% in CY28<br>and 30% in CY29, following revenue growth in CY25 from a close to nil level in CY24. Based on the approach adopted in the previous independent<br>valuation extended forecast revenues were determined by applying declining revenue growth of 20% in CY30, 10% in CY31, 5% in CY32 and<br>3% in CY33, resulting in a compound average growth rate over the entire forecast period (excluding CY24 which had low revenue as was<br>during the pre-IPO period) of 53%. |

Note 17. Intangibleassets (cont.)
Gross Margins
| ● | Gross margin is forecast to increase from 52% in CY25 to 58%<br>in CY29 and beyond. The scale benefits of manufacturing larger quantities are considered to be forecast relatively conservatively as<br>different clients will have different formulations which may mean scale benefits are lower than for the production of homogenous products.<br>The forecast gross margins are in line with comparable industry gross margins. |
|---|
Operating Expense
| ● | The largest operating expense is employee costs. Salary and<br>benefits are forecast to increase by 88% in CY25, 66% in CY26, 54% in CY27, 32% in CY28, 24% in CY29, with growth rates declining thereafter,<br>in line with reducing revenue growth, and oncosts are forecast at 18-19% of salaries. |
|---|
EBITDA
| ● | The forecast model is based on a long-term EBITDA margin of<br>29%. Forecast EBITDA is negative in early years, which is expected for an early stage startup business where typically the average<br>timeframe to profitability is 2 - 3 years. The forecast model’s EBITDA margins are -98% in CY25, -15% in CY26, 16% in CY27,<br>28% in CY28 and CY29, and 29% beyond, with the ongoing EBITDA being comparable to that of comparable industries in relevant world markets. |
|---|
CAPEX
| ● | No material Capex has been forecast as the costs borne by Gelteq<br>in working with clients to develop products is included in other forecast expenses. As such, forecast capex for relevant supporting assets<br>is $50,000 in CY25, increasing at 5% per annum thereafter. |
|---|
Amortisation
| ● | Amortisation has been estimated at 5% of the opening intangibles<br>balance each year. This roughly equates to an average useful life of 20 years for intangibles, which is in line with the Consolidated<br>Entity’s current policy. |
|---|
Tax Rate
| ● | A tax rate of 30% has been applied in line the with the corporate<br>tax rate in Australia. Whilst the tax rate may be lower in earlier years, this tax rate is in line with the Consolidated Entity’s<br>long term tax rate and the tax rate of a likely acquirer. |
|---|
Working Capital
| ● | Model forecasts the receivables at 30 days and payables at 31 days<br>in line with management expectations. Payables days are only applied to operating expenses as all manufacturing costs are paid prior<br>to dispatch to customers. |
|---|
Other balance Sheet Items
| ● | There are no other assumptions that result in material balance<br>sheet movements that affect relevant forecast cash flow. |
|---|
Terminal growth rate
| ● | Long term growth rate, used for the terminal value calculation,<br>is 2.5%, reflecting the Australian long term nominal inflation rate. |

Note 17. Intangibleassets (cont.)
Apart from the considerations described in determining the value-in-use of the cash-generating units described above, management is not currently aware of any other probable changes that would necessitate changes in its key estimates
Impairment
The Consolidated Entity has performed an impairment assessment based on its cash generating unit (CGU).
The Consolidated Entity determined that the recoverable amount in relation the CGU exceeded its carrying value of assets as at 31 December 2024, therefore no adjustment to its carrying value (impairment) was required.
The directors have reviewed and are comfortable with the significant assumptions determined by management. Based on the above, the directors believe that no impairment charge is required to the value of the intangible asset at 31 December 2024
Sensitivity
The sensitivities on the updated discounted cash flow model are as follows:
| ● | Revenue would require a reduction of 14.6% to the compounded<br>growth rate over 9 years (30 June, 2024, 19.3% over 9 years) before the intangible asset value would need to be impaired, with<br>all other assumptions remaining constant. |
|---|---|
| ● | EBITDA margin would need a reduction of 14.2% per annum over<br>9 years (30 June, 2024, 11.8 % over 9 years) years before the intangible asset value would need to be impaired, with all<br>other assumptions remaining constant. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | The discount rate would be required to increase to 36.0 % (30<br>June, 2024, 33.8%) before the intangible asset value would need to be impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Long Term growth rate would need to be reduced to be in negative<br>(consistent with the 30 June, 2024, valuation) in the cashflow modelling before the intangible asset value would need to be impaired,<br>with all other assumptions remaining constant. |

Management believes that other reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount on which the intangible asset is based would not cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.
Management notes that if performance is not as expected, an impairment charge against these assets could be recognised in the next financial year’s accounts. This estimation of uncertainty is expected to reduce over time as the Consolidated Entity’s business develops and matures.

Embedded derivative on convertible notes
(v) In accordance with the policy noted in Note 3, when the Company’s shares attained a trading stock price upon the completion of the IPO and listing of the Company’s shares, the Company valued and separately accounted for the derivative embedded within convertible notes issued by the Company.
The embedded derivative was valued using a Black-Scholes valuation model as at the Company’s IPO date with following key assumptions:
| - | Company<br>stock price on measurement date: $4.46 |
|---|---|
| - | Risk<br>free rate: 4.29% |
| --- | --- |
| - | Term:<br>1.17 years |
| --- | --- |
| - | Volatility:<br>79% |
| --- | --- |
This calculation produced an estimated fair value of the embedded derivative of $1,279,184, which was accounted for as a liability as the conversion terms of the notes do not always result in a conversion of a fixed dollar amount of liability for a fixed number of shares. The difference between the face value of the notes and their liability component following the classification of the embedded derivative as a liability was accounted for as a debt discount, which will be amortised as finance costs across the life of the notes.

Note 26. Related party transactions(cont.)
The Loans from directors relates to loans provided in the year ended 30 June 2022, by Jeffrey Olyniec, Executive Director and B&M Givoni Ltd. a close family member of Nathan Givoni, Executive director of the Company. These loan agreements are compound financial instruments with both debt and equity components. The loans include an equity component of $124,108 comprising of 21,179 fully paid ordinary shares to be issued to the Lending Shareholders. 21,179 shares were determined based on shares equivalent to $1.00 for every $4.00 of principal loaned to the Company, as agreed in the loan agreements. These have been recognised as equity on inception of the loans. The shares were to be issued within 90 days of the loan being advanced with a deemed issue price of $5.86 per fully paid ordinary share, being the pre-dilution price and were issued on April 28, 2022.
The Consolidated Entity has recognised the shareholders loans initially at fair value of $369,337, net of the equity component of $124,108 and subsequently carried at amortised cost using an effective interest method. During the 2023 financial year, the shareholders loans received on 4 February, 2022, had their maturity date extended in January 2023, and approximately $1,938,287 was to be repaid on 15 July, 2024. The resulting gain on the modification of the liability is recognized in the profit and loss statement and there was no repayment of interest or loan during the year (no repayment of interest or loan during the year ended 30 June 2023). These extensions constitute a substantial modification per IFRS 9, and therefore the original liability is derecognised on modification date, and the new liability for the extended loans is recognised at fair value, discounted using an appropriate discount rate.
Subsequent to 30 June, 2024, the loans were extended with a new maturity date of 31 December, 2025, at an interest rate of 12% and an amount to be repaid of approximately $2,153,929.
