42024 ikeGPS Annual Report
Dear Shareholders,
The 2024 financial year (FY24) marked another significant period for IKE, a year
in which we continued to grow our subscription footprint and made meaningful
strides in developing, launching, and selling new products to some of the largest
utilities in the North American market. We won 59 new subscription customers
in the U.S. market over the past year, continuing a win rate of approximately
one new customer per week. That said, the FY24 period also saw a year-on-
year reduction in revenue from our lower-margin transaction revenue. A 61%
reduction vs pcp was due to the FY23 period having outsized activity from
certain national communications customers. For context, this was up +207% on
FY22 levels. Our three-year transaction revenue CAGR, or growth rate, is 47%
and based on guidance from these long-term customers we expect transaction
volumes and associated revenue to build into FY25.
In terms of financial performance, we reported revenue of $21.1m, with
approximately 86% of this revenue coming from recurring subscriptions and
reoccurring transaction sources. Gross margin was $12.7m and a net loss of
$15m. Our balance sheet remains strong, with a cash & receivables position of
$15.4m and no debt.
Momentum across the business is robust. Q4 FY24 and Q1 FY25 to date have
been strong periods at IKE with more significant subscription contracts closed
with tier-1 North American electric utility customers that will substantially grow
our FY25 subscription revenue run rates. At the time of writing this includes
adding approximately 3,700 additional subscribers to our new IKE PoleForeman
platform. Since its Q3 FY24 launch Total Contract Value (TCV) in closing has
exceeded $12m from mostly tier-1 electric utilities in the U.S. market. In total,
FY24 - Year in Review
CEO and Chair Commentary
52024 ikeGPS Annual Report
~53 customers have subscribed to the platform, of which 32 were existing
customers and 21 are new. We expect further major customers to close in the
near term and that IKE PoleForeman will ultimately be the standard for structural
analysis in eight of the ten largest electric utilities in the United States.
Examples of these subscription contracts include:
+An agreement with the second largest electric utility group in North America for a five-year
term that is expected to generate ~NZ$2.0m in total subscription revenue, or an additive
NZ$0.4m ARR.
+A large U.S. electric utility signed a ~NZ$0.5m three-year subscription contract for IKE
PoleForeman, representing a five-fold increase in annual recurring revenue from this
customer versus our legacy product.
+A ~NZ$0.8M three-year subscription contract from a major east coast U.S. electric utility,
which is a Fortune 500 company, to use IKE PoleForeman.
+A ~NZ$3.7m three-year subscription contract with a Fortune 150 Company and one of the ten
largest Investor-Owned-Utilities (IOUs) in the U.S., upgrading them from IKE’s legacy product
to our new IKE PoleForeman structural analysis platform.
We expect to retain and grow these recurring revenue-generating accounts for
the long term.
From a team perspective, we were pleased to add several new North American
industry experts. People joining IKE in FY24 included Roz Buick as non-executive
director, Brian Musfeldt as Chief Financial Officer, Ani Adzhemyan as Chief
Marketing Officer, and Brett Willet as SVP Product. Each of their profiles are
detailed further in this report. We would also like to extend our thanks to Rick
Christie, who resigned from our Board this year. Rick was IKE’s Chair from its
earliest stage and has been instrumental in all aspects of IKE’s growth over the
past decade or so.
FY25 Outlook
Subscription revenue is expected to grow strongly this year, at 50% or greater vs
pcp to ~$16m per annum or greater. This outlook is based on the ongoing growth of
our core IKE Office Pro subscription product, which has seen >30% CAGR over the
past three years and with ~95% customer retention. It is also based on the success
of the launch of our new IKE PoleForeman product as detailed above, with more
than NZ$12m of TCV closed since its Q3 launch and an additive subscriber base of
>3,700 users.
62024 ikeGPS Annual Report
Transaction revenue in FY25 is expected to grow, but with a wider range of potential
growth profiles and as such represents higher risk – both upside and downside.
Transaction revenue at IKE over the past three years has grown at a ~47% CAGR,
although FY24 levels were down against FY23 due to FY23 seeing outsized customer
activity. Based on guidance from long-term customers we expect transaction
volumes and associated revenue to build into FY25.
Overall, we closed ~NZ$27m of contracts in FY24, against approximately NZ$21m of
recognized revenue. Our customer retention rate is excellent, at approximately 95%
and our sales pipeline for new business is strong and is growing. As a reminder of our
business model, IKE generates additive transaction revenue, on top of subscription
revenue, from some customers as they engineer more network assets in our system.
Our margin profile improved to ~60% in FY24, from ~53% in FY23, due to a continued
shift in the product mix toward higher margin subscription revenue. We expect this
trend to continue into FY25 with the growth in our subscription revenue outpacing
other segments resulting in a material improvement in margins again in FY25.
During 2H FY24, we also reduced our cost profile to maintain the timeframe toward
both EBITDA and cash-positive operations. As consistently stated, management
and the Board remain cognizant of the importance of maintaining a strong balance
sheet position, executing against immediate revenue growth opportunities, whilst
retaining the ability to manage costs appropriately.
FY25 is also an exciting period for IKE in terms of the introduction of new AI-based
automation capabilities into existing products and new products. IKE has invested
significantly into building automation that is specific to distribution network
workflows, and we look forward to putting this into our customers’ hands.
Macro-market tailwinds across North America remain supportive of the productivity
products that IKE delivers, driven by the forecasted US$300B investment by
electric utilities into building & maintaining distribution power network capacity and
associated network hardening. To meet carbon-zero targets in the U.S. by 2050,
analysts forecast that approximately 50% of the energy in the U.S. needs to be on
the electrical grid, from a position of just 20% today. Overall, analysts forecast that
capex and opex spend across distribution networks in the U.S. market will increase
by +4% annually for the next decade. Further, the multi-year investment being made
72024 ikeGPS Annual Report
into building overhead fiber and 5G networks is enormous. IKE’s products drive
productivity in support of these network engineering and capacity activities.
We extend our thanks to you, our shareholders, for your support and belief in our
vision. As we continue to innovate and grow, we do so with the confidence that we
are building something valuable together.
Yours sincerely,
Alex KnowlesGlenn Milnes

On our website: https://ikegps.com/investors/ you will find the following corporate governance documents
referred to in this section:
Corporate governance statement
Under NZX Rule 3.7.1 and 3.8.1, NZX has a set of principles and recommendations, the NZX Corporate Governance
Code, that listed companies must report against. The overarching purpose of the NZX Code is to promote
good corporate governance. The Board considers that, as at 31 March 2024, the Company complies with the
recommendations set by the NZX Corporate Governance Code, except where it deems alternative measures are
more appropriate as disclosed.
Board composition and performance
The structure of the Group’s Board and its governance arrangements are set out in the Company’s Constitution
and in the Board’s written Charter setting out the Board’s roles and responsibilities. The management and control
of the business of the Group are vested in the Board. The Charter sets out the matters reserved for our decision-
making, including (amongst other key matters) the establishment of the Company’s overall strategic direction
and strategic plans.
Management is responsible for implementing the strategic objectives, operating within the risk appetite the
Board has set, and for all other aspects of the day-to-day running of the Company.
The Board delegates the day-to-day leadership and management of the Company to the CEO. The delegations
are set out in the Board Charter and in a Delegated Authority framework, which also sets out authority levels for
types of commitments that the Company’s management can make.
The nominations and remuneration committee identifies and recommends to the Board individuals for
nomination as members of the Board and its Committees considering such factors as it deems appropriate,
including experience, qualifications, judgment, and the ability to work with other Directors.
Board meetings
Between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024, 8 Board meetings were held. All meetings were attended by all who were
Directors (or committee members) at the time of the meeting.
Board composition
The Board considers its composition in accordance with the institute of directors’ framework. The Directors
believe the respective skills and experience of individual Directors to be complementary, appropriate for the
Group, balanced, and reasonably diverse. The Group’s Directors have expertise and experience in strategy
development, executive leadership, acquisitions and divestment, technology, data, corporate responsibility,
governance, legal and regulatory matters, public policy, and finance (including the assessment of financial
controls). In accordance with the applicable listing rules, all directors are re-elected within three years or on the
third annual general meeting following their appointment.

companies generally.

self-evaluation relating to Board and committee composition and performance. The Board
believes this process is effective and believes it helps to refine the Group’s strategy-setting

relativities, and specific business needs. The Group
is operating in a growth industry and has a skilled and
mobile workforce.
All employees have fixed remuneration. Selected
employees have the potential to earn a Short Term
Incentive (STI) and Long Term incentive (LTI).
472024 ikeGPS Annual Report
Ethical Behaviour
Code of conduct

expected to uphold the Group's values.
Whistleblowing
The Group Code of Ethics includes specific direction
on action to be taken by a person who suspects a
breach of the Code.
Avoiding conflicts of interest
The Board is updated at each meeting on changes
in Directors’ interests and any potential conflicts.
The register records relevant transactions and
our disclosures of interests. A current listing of
Directors’ interests is found on page 52.
Trading in securities

times. Our Director's current shareholdings are set

detail the policies and strategies developed by
management. They examine proposals and make
recommendations to the Board. They don’t take
action or make decisions on behalf of the Board
unless specifically mandated to do so.
During the FY24 year, the Group’s standing Board
committees were the:
+ Audit & Risk Management committee
+Nominations and Remuneration committee
482024 ikeGPS Annual Report
Audit & Risk Management Committee (ARC):
Fred Lax (chair), Mark Ratcliffe, Glenn Milnes
The committee members are Independent Directors
with the exception of Glenn Milnes, who is an
Executive Director. IKE therefore complies with the
Listing Rules but notes that this ARC composition
does not currently meet Code Rule 3.8.1. The Board
of IKE is actively seeking to meet this Code Rule
requirement through a process to recruit and
appoint a new Independent Director with requisite
finance & accounting skills & qualifications. On
this appointment, Glenn Milnes would step-down
from the ARC.
The committee’s charter is set out in the
Investor Relations segment of IKE’s website. The
committee met four times in the year to 31 March
2024, and at least annually the committee meets
with the company’s external auditors without
management present.
Nominations and Remuneration committee:
Mark Ratcliffe (Chair), Fred Lax
The committee members are independent Directors.
The committee met on four occasions in the year
to 31 March 2024. This committee has oversight of
matters of recruitment, retention, and remuneration.
Other committee matters
The Board will occasionally appoint a committee of
Directors to consider or approve a specific proposal
or action if the timing of meetings or availability of
Directors means the matter cannot be considered by
the full Board. Their deliberations and decisions are
reported back to the Board not later than the next
meeting following.
Takeover protocol
The Board has decided not to establish a takeover
committee or protocols documenting the procedure
to be followed in the event it receives a takeover
offer. The Board has determined that due to
the current size and make-up of the Board, it is
sufficiently independent and can manage a takeover
process and any additional issues effectively as a
whole Board, should it arise.
Reporting and disclosure
Financial reporting
The Board is responsible for ensuring the integrity
of the Group’s reporting to shareholders, including
for financial statements that comply with generally
accepted accounting practices. The Board’s ARC
oversees the quality, reliability, and accuracy of the
financial statements and related documents (the
ARC role is described fully in its Charter). In doing so,
the committee makes inquiries of management and
external auditors (including requiring management
representations) so that the committee can be
satisfied as to the validity and accuracy of all aspects
of the Group’s financial reporting.
The CEO and CFO certify to the Board that the
integrity of the financial statements is founded on
a sound system of risk management and internal
compliance and control.
Non-financial reporting
As a Climate Reporting Entity the Group must assess
and disclose its exposure to non-financial risks,
including economic, environmental, and social
sustainability risks. Previously this was incorporated
into the Comprehensive and Key Risk assessments
that we refer to under risk management. These
disclosures will be made in its first ESG report in July.
The Group is predominantly an office-based software
company with minimal impact on non-financial risks.
Disclosure to the market
The Group has a written disclosure policy – the
Continuous Disclosure Policy, found on the investor
relations site. It sets out requirements for full and
timely disclosure to the market of material issues so
all stakeholders have equal access to information.
The Board reviews and approves material
announcements. The Board specifically consider
with management at each Board meeting whether
there are any issues which might require disclosure
to the market under the NZX and ASX continuous
disclosure requirements.
492024 ikeGPS Annual Report
Information for investors
The Group’s annual meeting will be held virtually
on Friday, 27 September 2024 (NZT). A notice of
the meeting and proxy form will be circulated
to shareholders closer to the time. The external
auditors, Grant Thornton, will respond to any
questions submitted prior to the meeting.
Risk management
The Group has an enterprise risk management
framework in place to identify, quantify, and monitor
risks. That framework categorizes the enterprise
risks and sets out specific actions to effectively
manage each risk. Management reviews the
enterprise risk register. The Group doesn’t have an
internal audit function.
Health and Safety Risk
The Group values our people's health, safety, and
wellness, and we believe that everyone should be
able to work in an environment where risks are
managed and controlled. Management has adopted
health, safety, and wellness measures to address and
mitigate identified risks.
The Group is a relatively low-risk office-based
business. However, we do have employees
performing training and, in some instances, fieldwork
for customers. The Board is conscious of these risks
to employees and have viewed the actions currently
in place to mitigate these. The frequency of incidents
has been very low, so the Board has not required
LTIFR reporting to date.
Auditors
The Group has an external Auditor Policy that
requires the external auditor to be independent and
to be seen as independent. The Board is satisfied that
there is no relationship between the auditor and the
Group or any related person at this time that could
compromise the auditor’s independence. The Board
also obtained confirmation of independence formally
from the auditor. To ensure full and frank dialogue
amongst the ARC and the auditors, the auditor’s
senior representatives meet separately with the ARC
(without management present) at least once a year.
Non-audit work
The Audit Independence Policy sets out restrictions
on non-audit work that the auditor can perform.
Shareholder rights and relations
The Group’s financial reports and corporate
governance documentation is available on the
group’s website https://ikegps.com/investors/.
The Group keeps shareholders informed through
periodic reporting to NZX and ASX and through
its continuous disclosure. The Group provides
briefings and presentations to media and analysts
(which are made immediately available on the
investor relations website) and communicates with
shareholders through periodic reports, annual
shareholder meetings, as well as through a range of
releases to media on matters which the company
believes will interest shareholders and members.
The Group encourages shareholders to refer to the
investor relations website and to receive annual and
half-year reports electronically. Still, hard copies
of the reports can readily be obtained from the
share registrar, MUFG Pension & Market Services.
The Group takes care to write all shareholder
communications in a clear and straightforward way
and to limit the use of jargon.

Independent auditor’s report
To the shareholders of ikeGPS Group Limited
Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of ikeGPS Group Limited (the “Company”), including
its subsidiaries (the “Group”) on pages 5 to 38 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position
as at 31 March 2024, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income,
consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then
ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2024 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the
year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards
(NZ IFRS) issued by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ))
issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial
Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and
Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International
Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards
Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Group.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit
of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Why the matter is significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Capitalisation of development costs
The Group is a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) provider
which incurs significant expenditure in developing and
maintaining its software assets.
NZ IAS 38 Intangible Assets outlines the criteria for
capitalisation of costs associated with developing the
software including whether the software will generate future
economic benefits.
As disclosed in Note 12, capitalised software costs are
recognised at cost and subsequently amortised over their
estimated useful lives. Costs that do not meet the criteria
for capitalisation are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
The calculation and capitalisation of costs involve significant
judgment, particularly in estimating the time staff spent on
development, attributing costs to that time and assessing
the future economic recovery of the associated asset.
The complexity and subjectivity involved in these estimates
create a risk that development costs may not be
appropriately capitalised or amortised, which could impact
the valuation of non-current assets and the accuracy of the
consolidated financial statements.
Refer to Note 12 in the consolidated financial statements for
disclosures on the capitalised development costs.
The procedures we performed to evaluate the capitalisation
of development costs included:
• obtaining an understanding of the nature and
background of the activities and costs that are
capitalised;
• reviewing a sample of projects and assessing whether
they met the capitalisation criteria in NZ IAS 38
Intangible Assets;
• agreeing a sample of costs capitalised to relevant audit
evidence to ensure they were reasonable and
appropriate; and
• reviewing disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements for reasonableness and appropriateness.
Impairment assessment and the carrying value of
assets.
As disclosed in Note 3, Material accounting policies, the
Group has undertaken an assessment of the carrying value
of its assets including intangible assets on an annual basis
in accordance with NZ IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.
Cash generating units (CGUs) that are yet to be profit
generating may indicate there is an impairment. In addition,
certain CGU’s hold intangible assets in development that
are not yet ready for use. Accordingly, these assets are
required to be tested for impairment.
Impairment assessments are a key audit matter due to the
materiality of the assets, the risk of impairment, and the
significant level of judgement applied in estimating future
cash flows and other key assumptions in determining the
recoverable amount of a CGU.
To determine whether the carrying value of assets including
intangibles is reasonable, management performed an
impairment assessment on a value-in-use (VIU) basis.
Management determined there were four CGUs:
• Ike core platform, intangible assets, property, plant and
equipment, capital work-in-progress, leased assets and
working capital (CGU1).
• Spike: development assets and working capital (CGU2).
The procedures we performed to evaluate the impairment
assessment included:
• performing procedures to evaluate and challenge the
Group’s determination of CGUs. This included reviewing
internal management reporting to assess the level at
which the Group monitors performance, comparing
CGUs to our knowledge of the Group’s operations and
reporting systems, and reconciling assets allocated to
CGUs to accounting records;
• obtaining management’s impairment assessments and
testing the mathematical accuracy of the VIU
calculations.
• considering and challenging key assumptions and using
our internal valuation experts to assess the valuation
methodology’s compliance with NZ IAS 36, and the
appropriateness of the pre-tax discount rates and
terminal growth rates, based on their experience and
external evidence.
• comparing the forecast cash flows used for the year
ending 31 March 2025 to the Board approved business
plan and reviewing the basis for cash flow forecasts
beyond this period that underpin the impairment
calculation.
• auditing the disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements to ensure they are compliant with the
requirements of the relevant accounting standards.
• Ike Structural: intangible assets, capital work in progress
and working capital (CGU3); and
• Ike Insight: intangible assets, and capital work in
progress (CGU4).
Impairment tests prepared by management were based on
discounted cashflow models using the Board approved
budget for the year ending 31 March 2025 and combined
with forecasted cash flows for subsequent years. The Board
approved budgets have been adjusted to meet the
requirements of NZ IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.
The key assumptions in assessing CGU carrying value,
were as follows:
• Average forecast annual revenue growth rates;
• The terminal value growth rate; and
• The pre-tax discount rate.
Refer to Notes 3 and 12 in the consolidated financial
statements for disclosures on the key assumptions and
impairment assessments of the carrying value of assets.
Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Annual Report but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s
report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s
report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in
the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Directors’ responsibilities for the consolidated financial statements
The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS issued by the New Zealand Accounting
Standards Board and IFRS, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable
the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for
assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate
the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
consolidated financial statements.
A further description of the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
External Reporting Board’s website at: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards/assurance-standards/auditors-
responsibilities/audit-report-1

1. Reporting Entity
ikeGPS Group Limited is a limited liability company domiciled and incorporated in New Zealand, registered under
the Companies Act 1993 and listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (‘NZX’) and Australian Securities
Exchange (‘ASX’). It is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 comprise ikeGPS Group Limited and its
subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Group’), which comprises of ikeGPS Limited (‘ikeGPS Ltd’) and ikeGPS
Incorporated (‘ikeGPS Inc’).
The principal activity of the Group is that of design, sale, and delivery of a solution for the collection, analysis,
and management of distribution assets for electric utilities and communications companies.
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 30 May 2024.
2. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 have been prepared in accordance
with the requirements of the Companies Act 1993 and Financial Reporting Act 2013.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (‘NZ GAAP’). The Group is a for-profit entity for the purposes of
complying with NZ GAAP. The consolidated financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards (‘NZ IFRS’), other New Zealand accounting standards and
authoritative notices that are applicable to entities that apply NZ IFRS. The consolidated financial statements
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain
financial assets and liabilities that have been measured in accordance with the specific relevant accounting
policy.
All amounts are shown exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other indirect taxes, except for trade
receivables and trade payables that are stated inclusive of GST and Sales Taxes.
Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls
an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and
can affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on
which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
New and amended standard and interpretations
There are no new standards or interpretations material to the Group to be applied during the year. The Group
does not anticipate adopting any standards prior to their effective date. There are no standards or amendments
that have been issued but not yet effective that are expected to have a material impact on the Group.
3. Material accounting policies
Material accounting policies, accounting estimates, and judgments that summarise the measurement basis
used and are relevant to the understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the
accompanying notes.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2024

3. Material accounting policies (continued)
The material judgments and estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are outlined
below.
Going concern
The considered view of the Board Directors is that the going concern assumption is valid. This view has been
reached after making due enquiry and having regard to the circumstances that the Directors consider will occur
and those that are reasonably likely to affect the Group during the period of one year from the date these
consolidated financial statements are approved.
The Group recorded a net loss of NZ$15.0M for the year ended 31 March 2024 (2023: NZ$7.9M) and is expected
to make further losses in the following financial year.
Notwithstanding the above, the Group has prepared cash flow forecasts and sensitivity analyses that indicate
cash-on-hand of $10.2M as at 31 March 2024, combined with forecasted cash flows, will enable the Group to
fully meet its obligations as they fall due, and continue operating as a going concern for at least twelve months
from the date of authorising these consolidated financial statements.
Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets were reviewed to determine whether there is any indication of
impairment and if so tested, or tested regardless in the case of indefinite life intangible assets. The Directors
identified the following cash generating units (CGUs):
+ CGU1 – IKE Core platform: intangible assets, property plant and equipment, capital work in
progress, lease assets and working capital.
+ CGU2 – Spike: intangible assets and working capital.
+ CGU3 – IKE Structural: intangible assets, capital work in progress and working capital.
+ CGU4 – IKE Insight: intangible assets and capital work in progress.
The Directors concluded that with CGU1 constricting over the year, the overall operating losses associated with
CGU1 are an indicator of impairment, requiring an estimate of the CGU1 recoverable amount.
CGU1 was determined to have a carrying value of $5.2M. Future cash flows are forecasted based on a five-year
business model for CGU1, which included a conservative average revenue growth rate of 17% and operating
expenses reflecting the FY24 business plan.
The Group remains confident that although we saw a revenue reduction in FY24, we have seen a strong CAGR
over the last 4 years for IKE and that revenues for CGU1 will continue to grow. This is based on the opportunity
to both increase market share and become more entrenched with our current customer base.
The Group remains optimistic that the infrastructure market will continue to grow due to the significant
multiyear investment programmes IKE’s customers have in place. A pre-tax discount rate of 19.9% was used to
establish the recoverable amount on a value in use basis. To determine terminal value, the Group applied a 2%
growth rate.
Sensitivity analysis was performed on key assumptions for CGU1. An impairment would need to be considered
if the average growth rate was 30% lower than forecasted.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2024

3. Material accounting policies (continued)
An indicator of impairment also existed in CGU2 due to the negative operating cashflows of the CGU during the
year. However, CGU2 was determined to have a carrying value of $0.2M as in the prior year the Directors
impaired of the remaining intangible asset balance to zero. This leaves the remaining carrying value of the CGU
as stock on hand which is expected to be fully realised over the coming years. This stock has been assessed to
ensure the correct value and treatment under NZ IAS 2.
CGU3 was tested for impairment as the carrying value includes an intangible asset for the IKE PoleForeman
product which was only capitalised and released in FY24. CGU3 was determined to have a carrying value of
$2.9M. A pre-tax discount rate of 19.9% was used to establish the recoverable amount on a value in use basis.
To determine terminal value, the Group applied a 2% growth rate.
The Directors have determined that no impairment is required as CGU3’s carrying value does not exceed its
value in use.
Additionally, an indicator of impairment also existed in CGU4 due to the lower-than-expected revenue, requiring
an estimate of the CGU4 recoverable amount.
CGU4 was determined to have a carrying value of $7.8M including goodwill. CGU4 is a very early-stage business
segment and technology asset that IKE acquired January 2021 and has continued to develop. Future cash
flows are forecasted based on a five-year business model for CGU4, with the year one and two revenue
forecasted to be $0.3m and $1.7m with an average revenue growth rate of 120% in years three to five with an
average annual growth rate overall of 200% and operating expenses reflecting the FY24 business plan. A pre-tax
discount rate of 33.7% was used to establish the recoverable amount on a value in use basis. In determining the
terminal value, the Group applied a 2% growth rate.
The Directors believe that given the large desire for automation in the industry and the benefits of using artificial
intelligence to complete pole analysis the CGU could outperform these estimates. During the prior year the first
of several products to be released had successful proofs of concept and was able to be sold to a customer on a
project basis.
With the successful recruitment of a new SVP of Product CGU4 has been focused in working towards delivering
several products that in the coming year will be released to market as either a customer specific project or a
value driven add-on to existing subscription products.
However, given the prior year’s lower than expected revenue the Directors have taken a prudent approach to
forecasting future revenues.
Based on this approach, the Directors have determined that no impairment of CGU4’s intangible assets is
required as the carrying amount does not exceeded the value in use calculation.
The forecasted financial information for all CGUs is based on both historical experience and future expectations
of operating performance and requires judgements to be made as to revenue growth, operating cost
projections, and the market environment. It is sensitive to changes in each of the assumptions outlined above
and actual results may be substantially different.
Foreign currencies
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of the Group’s subsidiaries are measured using
the currency of the primary economic environment that the entity operates ("the functional currency").
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2024
12
3. Material accounting policies (continued)
The functional currency of ikeGPS Ltd is New Zealand dollars. The functional currency of ikeGPS Inc is United
States dollars. These consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, which is the
Group's presentational currency.
The financial performance and position of ikeGPS Inc are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
+ assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at reporting date;
+ income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable
approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case
income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
+ all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are initially translated to functional currencies at the exchange rate prevailing at
the transaction date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the revaluation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign currency translation reserve
Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are recognised in other
comprehensive income as described in the foreign currency translation accounting policy and accumulated in
a separate reserve within equity. If the net investment is to be disposed of, the cumulative amount would be
reclassified to the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
4. Operating segments
The CEO is assessed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) who regularly reviews financial
information by product and gross margin. Reporting of overheads and the financial position is not undertaken
at a level lower than the Group as a whole. Geographically, revenue is substantially generated in the United States
of America.
The Group derives its revenue from:
Platform Transactions:
+ IKE Analyze revenue by providing an end-to -end technical solution for customers; IKE captures and
analyses pole loading and make-ready engineering assessments, or customers capture pole data
and transact on the platform,
+ transactional revenue by analysing pole data through an artificial intelligence and machine learning
platform.
Platform Subscriptions:
+ the IKE Platform solution where customers use the functionality of IKE Office and if applicable the IKE
Device,
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2024

4. Operating segments (continued)
+ pole loading software licences and ongoing subscriptions for maintenance and support.
Hardware and other services:
+ IKE Device and Spike device sales, and related accessories,
+ Other services including training and deployment.
The segment information provided to the CEO and Board of Directors for the year ended 31 March 2024 was as
follows:
5. Revenue
The Group derives its revenue from the sale of products and related services, subscription revenue, software
licenses, providing access to hardware and the software platform, and technical pole data analysis. Revenue is
recognised when performance obligations have been satisfied, which is when control of the good or service
associated with the performance obligation has been transferred to the customer.
Revenue is recognised using a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers.
Under NZ IFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects
to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

5. Revenue (continued)
The standard requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all the relevant facts and
circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The five-step model
for recognising revenue from contracts with customers requires consideration of the following steps:
+ Identifying the contract
+ Identifying the individual performance obligations within the contract
+ Determining the transaction price
+ Allocating the transaction price to distinct performance obligations
+ Recognising revenue
The table below provides the key judgements made on the application of NZ IFRS 15 across each revenue type
with standardised terms and conditions. The Group has applied a practical expedient permitted by the standard;
therefore, no significant financing component exists on deferred income.

Customers subscribe to the
Platform to access both an
IKE device and the
functionality of IKE Office.
This subscription enables
customers to go out in the
field and collect data via our
online platform, where IKE or
the customer can then
perform analysis.
The subscription is in two
parts; 1. The lease of the
IKE device under NZ IFRS 16
(there is no right of
substitution therefore not
considered an operating
lease), 2. The subscription
to IKE Office. This requires
management to allocate the
contract price to each
performance obligation and

6. Expenses
Operating expenses consist of operating, sales, marketing, engineering, research, and corporate costs.
1. Total depreciation for the year is $1,872k (2023: $1,358k), comprised of depreciation on fixed assets of
$1,550k (2023: $1,143k) as per note 11 and depreciation on leased assets of $322k (2023: $215k) as
per note 13. Engineering and research expenses included all the $2,558k of amortisation (2023: $1,716k)
and $54k of depreciation on fixed assets (2023: $7k). Corporate costs included all the $322k of
depreciation on leased assets under NZ IFRS 16 (2023: $215k). The balance of depreciation totalling to
$1,332k (2023: $959k) is included in cost of sales.
2. Relates to employee benefit expense, external contractors and consultants’ expenses that are directly
attributable to the development of intangible assets and have been capitalised.
3. Relates to short-term and low-value leases and common area maintenance costs.
4. Selling and marketing expenses included promotional activities, travel, commissions, and other
direct marketing costs.
5. Other operating expenses include corporate advisory, travel, engineering, facilities, and IT costs.
Employee benefits
Liabilities for wages, salaries, and short-term incentives (both settled and accrued), including non-monetary
benefits 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 reporting date.
They 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 consolidated statement of financial position.
For defined contribution plans, the group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension
insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual, or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations
once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as an employee benefit expense when

they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in
the future payments is available.
Share-based payment
The Group operates an employee option scheme (equity-settled) under which employees receive the option to
acquire shares at a predetermined exercise price. The options are measured at fair value at grant date using the
Black Scholes model, with the fair value recognised as an employee benefit expense in the consolidated
statement of profit or loss with a corresponding increase in equity. The total expense is recognised over the
vesting period, being the period over which all the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of
each period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the
service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the share-based
payment reserve with a corresponding change to the share-based compensation reserve in equity.
In addition, the Group provides share-based payments to employees related to business combinations. The
employees are required to satisfy service conditions and an expense is recognised over the service period. The
rewards are considered equity-settled and recognised as an employee benefit expense and an increase to either
share capital or the share-based compensation reserve.
Finance income and expenses
Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Finance expenses comprise
interest expense on lease liabilities, recognised using the effective interest method.
7. Current and deferred tax
The current income tax charge is calculated based on the tax laws enacted, or substantively enacted, at the
reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Management
periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation
is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on amounts expected to be paid
to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined
using tax rates and laws that have been enacted, or substantively enacted, by the reporting date and are
expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised, or the deferred income tax liability is
settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit
will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity, respectively.
Prima facie income tax expense on pre-tax accounting loss from operations reconciles to the income tax
expense in the consolidated financial statements as follows:

year ended 31 March 2024

7. Current and deferred tax (continued)
Deferred tax assets on deductible temporary differences have been recognised to the extent taxable temporary
differences exist in the same tax jurisdiction. No deferred tax asset is recognised in excess of the available
taxable temporary differences, due to the uncertainty of when the unused tax losses can be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets related to deductible temporary differences total $4,776,347 (2023:
$3,684,964).
ikeGPS Group Limited has unrecognised tax losses of $16,290,471 (2023: $17,884,787) available for use against
future taxable profits, subject to the New Zealand Tax Legislation requirements being met. ikeGPS Inc has
unrecognised tax losses of $51,180,652 (2023: $42,490,094), of which $7,917,482 is available indefinitely for use
against future taxable profits and $43,263,170 available to be carried forward up to 20 years from the date the
tax loss was created.

9. Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables arise when the Group provides cash, goods, and services directly to a debtor with
no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater
than 12 months after reporting date that are classified as non-current assets.
The Group assesses impairment on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit loss associated with its
financial assets is carried at amortised cost. The Group will assess if there has been a significant increase in
credit risk by assessing market conditions, forward looking estimates, and previous financial history of
counterparts.
The Group applies the simplified approach permitted by NZ IFRS 9 for trade receivables, which requires expected
lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
The expected credit losses on these financial assets are assessed using a provision matrix, adjusted for factors
that are specific to the receivables including customers’ historical credit loss experience, individual customer
characteristics, customer market segment, and the economic environment.
The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating default or delinquency in payments,
the probability that they will enter bankruptcy, liquidation or other financial reorganisation, and there is no real
prospect of recovery.
10. Inventory
Inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventory is based on a weighted
average cost, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventory and bringing it to its existing location
and condition. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour, and production overhead. 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. Inventory is treated as non-current if it is not expected to be sold
within twelve months of reporting date.
During the year, IKE materials have been written down by $6,774 (2023: $nil) and Spike finished goods by $9,364
(2023: $53,824).

losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Depreciation is
calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Office furniture and equipment 20% - 33%
Plant and equipment 20% - 50%
IKE rental devices 30%
Leasehold improvement Over the period of the lease
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each
reporting date. Gain and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount
and are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
IKE rental devices increased in FY24, in line with the increase in ‘Platform as a Service’ revenue (see note 5).

12. Intangible assets
Capitalised development costs
The Group capitalises employee and consultants’ costs directly related to development of an intangible asset.
The carrying values of capitalised development costs are annually evaluated for indicators of impairment.
Management has reviewed the expected remaining useful life of these assets and concluded that they are
appropriately amortised over periods of 4 to 10 years.
Following a review in the prior year of the useful life of the development assets of the IKE Structural CGU
directors have determined that the useful life of the current in-service assets have reduced, giving a remaining
useful life of 1 year. The assets in development and not yet available for use are unaffected by this change.
Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software
controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
+ it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use,
+ management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it,
+ there is an ability to use or sell the software product,
+ it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits,
+ adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the
software product are available, and
+ the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred.
Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.
All research costs are recognised as an expense when they are incurred.
Other intangible assets
Separately purchased intangible assets (i.e. software) were recognised at cost, plus any initial directly
attributable costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment.
Purchased software has a useful life ranging from 4 to 10 years.
Software, customer contracts, relationships, trademarks, and training material acquired through business
combinations were initially recognised at fair value. They are subsequently measured at initial recognition value
less accumulated amortisation and impairment and have a useful life ranging from 2 to 10 years.
Goodwill
Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses and is annually tested for impairment, or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.
Goodwill is allocated to CGU4 for the purpose of impairment testing (see note 3 Impairment), as this CGU is
expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Intangible assets under development are not subject to amortisation and are annually tested for impairment
within CGU1, CGU3 and CGU4, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might
be impaired. The carrying amount of the Group’s other non- financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2024

12. Intangible assets (continued)
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment or objective evidence of impairment. If any such
indication exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments for the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which estimates
of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be
less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Where an impairment loss subsequently
reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount,
but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is
recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss immediately.

13. Leases
Lease assets are contracts that convey the right to use office space in both Colorado and Wellington. They were
initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at inception. Subsequently, they are
recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, adjusted for remeasurement of the lease
liability to reflect modifications.
The corresponding lease liability to the lessor is included on the consolidated statement of financial position as
a lease liability. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and a reduction in the lease liability.
The finance charges and depreciation of the lease asset are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or
loss. Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments. The Group’s
‘incremental borrowing rate’ used in the discounting for the Colorado lease liability was 7.75% and the Wellington
Lease was 9%.
The leases run for a period ranging from 3 to 5 years with an option to renew. The renewal period for the
Wellington lease was taken into account, as management is reasonably certain that this will be renewed. The
Colorado lease renewal was not taken into account.
The Group applied the exemption for low-value assets on the lease of the photocopier and the exemption for
short-term leases on the office space rented in Alabama. Therefore, the lease payments were recognised as an
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

13. Leases (continued)
The following leases are exempt from the application of NZ IFRS 16 and have been recognised as an expense
in the consolidated statement of profit and loss:
14. Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary
course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within
one year or less. Otherwise, they are presented as non-current liabilities. They are initially recognised at their fair
value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
15. Other liabilities
Other liabilities are obligations from prior year business combinations and were initially recorded at fair value.
Those that are deferred consideration are subsequently measured at amortised cost, and those liabilities that
are the result of contingent consideration are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Accrued liabilities for services
The Group has employment agreements that result in cash payments being made to certain staff at the end of
a service period. The expense is accrued as services are delivered and payment is made at the end of the service
period. The liability was initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

16. Financial instruments and financial risk management
Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position when
the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
They are trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, cash and cash equivalents, foreign exchange
options, contract assets, employee entitlements, lease liabilities, and other liabilities. They are included in current
assets and current liabilities, except for lease liabilities with payment terms greater than 12 months, which are
included in non-current liabilities.
The Group classifies its financial assets and liabilities as ‘measured at amortised cost’ or ‘fair value through
profit or loss’ at initial recognition.
The following table shows the Group’s financial assets and liabilities and their classification:
Financial instrument Classification
Cash and cash equivalents Measured at amortised cost
Trade and other receivables and payables Measured at amortised cost
Employee entitlements Measured at amortised cost
Foreign exchange options Fair value through profit or loss
Contract Assets Measured at amortised cost
Lease liabilities Measured at amortised cost
Other liabilities – Accrued Liabilities for service Measured at amortised cost
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments
of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. They are recognised initially at their fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate
method.
Financial liabilities carried at amortised cost are initially recognised at their fair value and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expenses from these financial liabilities
are included in finance expenses.
The fair value of financial instruments carried at amortised cost is not materially different from their stated
carrying values.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities is recognised directly in profit or loss
and presented in other gains and losses. Impairment losses on financial assets are presented as separate line
item in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
Financial assets and liabilities recognised at fair value through profit or loss are originally and subsequently
remeasured to fair value, with gains and losses being recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
The following table shows the designation of the Group’s financial instruments:

16. Financial instruments and financial risk management (continued)
Financial risk factors
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk
and interest rate risks, which arise in the normal course of the Group’s business. The Group uses different
methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. Liquidity risk is monitored
through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.
Credit risk
The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of a counterparty, with a maximum exposure
equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to
credit risk principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and the foreign exchange
options. All cash and cash equivalents are held with high credit quality counterparties, being trading banks with
at least an ‘AA-‘ credit rating in New Zealand, and a Moody’s ‘A2’ rating in the USA.
The Group does not require collateral or security from its trade receivables, it performs credit checks, ageing
analyses, and monitors specific credit allowances. The Group does not anticipate any material non-performance
by customers. The total impaired trade receivables as at reporting date is $509,793 (2023: $87,691).
At reporting date, 82% (2023: 75%) of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were with one bank.

16. Financial instruments and financial risk management (continued)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group cannot pay contractual liabilities as they fall due. Management monitors
rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs,
taking into consideration the Group’s forward financing plans. Management believes that the Group has
sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due for the next 12 months.
The following table sets out the undiscounted cash flows for all financial liabilities of the Group:
Foreign currency risk management
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on its revenue and a significant portion of its expenses that are
denominated in USD, which is different to the Group’s presentational and parent’s functional currency NZD.
Additionally, the institutional placement and share purchase plan completed previous years was predominantly
in AUD, creating additional foreign currency risk exposure. Therefore, the Group has purchased AUD/USD foreign
exchange options to mitigate the risk on its AUD cash holdings.
If the NZD strengthened / weakened against the USD or AUD by 10% at 31 March 2024, the pre-tax loss would
have been (higher) / lower as follows:

16. Financial instruments and financial risk management (continued)
Interest rate risk management
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from its cash balances. The Group currently has no significant exposure to
interest rate risk other than in relation to the amount held at the bank. A reasonably expected movement in the
prevailing interest rate would not materially affect the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
17. Fair value estimation
The Group measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value either at initial recognition and/or continually. To
determine these fair values, valuation techniques are utilised.
To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has identified
what level of input is utilised in the valuation in the note for each asset or liability. An explanation of each level is
below.
Level 1: The fair value of assets/liabilities traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and equity
securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of assets/liabilities that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter
derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and
rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the asset/liability is
included in level 3.
18. Contributed equity.
The share capital of the Group consists of fully paid ordinary shares with no-par value attached. Authorised
shares that have not been issued have been authorised for the Group’s employee share options and other
contractual share-based payments (see Note 21)

19. Basic and diluted earnings per share
The Group presents earnings per share (‘EPS’) data for its ordinary shares.
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted
average number of shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into
ordinary shares.
The potential shares and options are anti-dilutive in nature due to the Group being in a loss position. The diluted
loss per share is therefore the same as the undiluted EPS at ($0.09) and ($0.05) for the respective period.
20. Capital management
The capital structure of the Group consists of equity raised by the issuance of ordinary shares. The Group
manages its capital to ensure it can continue as a going concern and is not subject to any externally imposed
capital requirements.
The Group’s aim is to have a sufficient capital base to maintain investor and creditor confidence and to sustain
future development of the business. Capital requirements are regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors.
There have been no material changes in the Group’s management of capital from the previous year.
21. Share-based payments reserve
The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise both the fair value of options issued to employees but
not exercised and contractual share payments to be made to employees based on the period of employment.
The contractual share-based payments are in relation to employees who have service conditions, which when
completed grant the right to shares. These arrangements arose from prior business combinations.
The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to settle the shares in cash and has no history of choosing to
settle these payments in cash. As such, these awards are treated as equity settled share-based payments.

21. Share-based payments reserve (continued)
The Group determined the value of shares issued under contractual share-based payments based on the agreed
share price at the time of grant. This price is fixed.
A total of 264,352 shares at a value of $200,908 were issued during the period for services rendered (2023:
425,196 shares at value of $339,875).
Share options were granted to directors and selected employees to retain, reward, and motivate such individuals

24.Provisions
Sales Tax
The primary market for sales of the Group’s products or services is the USA and sales tax obligations can arise
where IKE is deemed to have sales tax nexus.
Previously, the Group identified that customer sales tax was payable in multiple States and a best estimate of
the liability was provided for in the FY21 consolidated financial statements. The Group completed the process
of voluntary disclosure and remitted the sales tax owed to the respective States.
Corporate Tax
The Group has identified a potential tax obligation linked to a series of intercompany transactions.
As the transactions have occurred the Group considers it to be more likely than not the obligation exists.
