CONDENSED INTERIM
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Page 1 Interim Report 30 September 2023
Dear Shareholders
The Directors of Iperion Limited, formerly Southern Charter Financial Group Limited, (“the Company”) are
pleased to report its financial results for the six months ended 30 September 2023.
Financial Results
Iperion reports an unaudited net loss attributable to shareholders of $462,614 for the half year ended 30
September 2023. This compares with a net loss attributable to shareholders of $132,374 for the same period
last year.
The most notable change for the period is the establishment and commencement of the outsourced pilot
manufacturing plant, which added $300,000 to the expenses in the period. With the recent completion of the
plant setup and production trials, there was no production income in the period.
Compared to the prior period, administrative expenses incurred in the half year ended September 2023
increased by $40,767, much of which related to regulatory compliance costs, but also included a slight
increase in travel costs associated with management oversight of the overseas manufacturing plant.
Outlook
The Company remains in a position with a strong balance sheet which includes significant cash resources.
Having completed the establishment of the outsourced pilot scale production, the Company is currently in
the process of obtaining manufacturing and product certifications and engaging in sales and marketing
activities to move the Company into commercial production and sales. The Company will provide the market
with any updates as to material developments in due course.
The Directors of Iperion extend their thanks to the shareholders for their support of the Company.
