Interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2025

Introduction
Being AI today releases its interim results for the first six months of FY26, a period marked by significant
challenges. The Board has taken decisive steps to address financial and governance issues, with a clear
focus on protecting shareholder value.
Financial Performance
For the six months ended 30 September 2025, Being AI recorded revenue of $17.4 million, an operating
EBITDA profit from continuing operations of $0.7 million, and a net loss from continuing operations of
$0.1 million. The Group’s performance was underpinned by the continued positive operational results of
Send Global, which remains a key driver of value. The Group also recognised a loss from discontinued
operations of $0.3 million and a $1.7 million gain from the divestment of the Education Group. However,
profitability was impacted by overhead costs, interest payments, and other expenses associated with
Being AI and its subsidiaries.
Operational and Governance Challenges
Being AI faced governance challenges following the resignation of independent directors Brett O’Riley
and Andy Higgs in late January 2025. This resulted in a breach of NZX Listing Rule 2.1.1, as the Board no
longer met the requirement for a sufficient number of independent directors. As a consequence, Being
AI was placed in a trading halt from 3 February 2025 until 14 April 2025.
To address this situation, the Board appointed three new independent directors: Michael Stiassny, Greg
Cross, and Steve Phillips. While compliance was restored, the breach led to a public censure from NZ
RegCo, a $50,000 financial penalty, and an order to cover the costs of the disciplinary process.
Strategic Review
Since March 2025, the Board has undertaken a detailed strategic review to address Being AI’s financial
position. This review has resulted in significant cost reductions, operational efficiencies, and the
divestment of non-core assets as outlined below.
Consequent Subsidiary Update
Project Treehouse
A comprehensive review of Project Treehouse concluded that the initiative would continue to incur
negative cash flows with no clear path to profitability. In response, the Board made the necessary
decision to wind down Project Treehouse on 16 May 2025. Concurrently, the Group accepted the
resignations of Group Chief Executive Officer David McDonald, Chief Technology Officer Nicolas Fourrier,
and the remaining personnel supporting the project. This action was taken to prevent further losses and
preserve shareholder value.

Being Education
In May 2025, Being AI completed the divestment of Being Education to Crimson Education Group. This
strategic decision allowed the Group to eliminate $3.9 million in debt owed to Wilshire Treasury, along
with a portion of trading liabilities, further simplifying the business and improving its financial position.
Send Global
In the latter stages of HY26, the focus has shifted to Send Global, which, despite its strong performance,
faces financial constraints due to the broader group’s obligations.
Post half year balance date, as of 31 October 2025, Send Global had $9.3 million in outstanding debt to
ANZ and $3.8 million (excluding unpaid interest) to Wilshire Treasury Limited. While Send Global
continues to perform well, its projected cash flows are insufficient to offset the overheads, interest
payments, and other costs associated with Being AI and its subsidiaries. Without further financial
support, Send Global is unlikely to generate shareholder returns in its current form.
Being AI
As of 31 October 2025 Being AI had outstanding debt to Wilshire Treasury Limited of $500,000 and has
recently agreed with Wilshire Treasury to increase the total facility to $1.1 million.
Proposed Transaction
In the course of exploring options, the Board received a non-binding indicative offer (NBIO) from Wilshire
to acquire 100% of Send Global’s shares and related assets. This offer was announced to the market on 4
November 2025. An independent committee of directors—Michael Stiassny, Greg Cross, and Steve
Phillips—evaluated the offer with the support of Simmons Corporate Finance Limited, which provided an
independent valuation of Send Global’s shares.
After a thorough assessment, the independent directors determined that no viable or competing
alternatives exist to address Being AI’s financial position. Wilshire, as the major shareholder (owning
approximately 86% of Being AI’s shares), lender, and guarantor of Send Global’s senior debt, is uniquely
positioned to provide the necessary financial support. The proposed transaction aligns with the
independent valuation and represents the most pragmatic solution given the current financial
circumstances.
Failure to proceed with this transaction would expose Being AI to significant financial risks, including the
potential inability to meet its debt obligations. Following careful consideration and negotiation, the
independent directors concluded that Wilshire’s offer is in the best interests of the company and its
shareholders.
A conditional sale agreement has been executed, and a shareholder meeting to vote on the transaction
is scheduled for 10 December 2025 at 3:00 PM. Shareholders are encouraged to review the materials
and participate in this critical decision.

Being AI Limited
Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 30 September 2025
8
1. General information
Being AI Limited (‘Being AI’ or ‘the Company’) and its subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’) are limited
liability companies, incorporated under the Companies Act 1993 and domiciled in New Zealand.
Being AI Limited was formed to create a Group positioned for the business transformation impact that
will result from AI and similar advanced technologies. The Group’s strategy was to build, advise, and
invest in this disruption. Following the divestment of the Education Group (note 10.1) and the closure of
Project Treehouse (note 10.2), Being AI Limited now consists of two primary operating companies, New
Zealand Mail Limited and Filecorp Limited, and their holding company Send Global.
The address of the Company’s registered office is 14 Honan Place, Avondale, Auckland 1026.
2. Basis of preparation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (‘NZ GAAP’), with New Zealand
Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (‘NZ IAS 34’), with
International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (‘IAS 34’), and with the requirements
of the NZX Listing Rules.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the notes of the type
normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements included in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2025 which
have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to IFRS Accounting Standards (‘NZ
IFRS’), International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’), and other applicable New Zealand Financial
Reporting Standards as appropriate for for-profit entities.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars which is
the Company’s functional and presentation currency, rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless
otherwise stated.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including the financial results for the 6 months
to 30 September 2025 and 2024, are unaudited. The comparative information as at 31 March 2025 is
audited.
2.1 Reinstatement of comparative information
The financial statements for the 6 months ended 30 September 2024 included a fair value adjustment on
contingent consideration of $32.13 million. As set out in note 20 of the 2025 Annual Report, the
contingent consideration was valued at the acquisition date of Being Consultants Limited and
subsequently at 30 September 2024 by a qualified independent valuer. At 30 September 2024 the
contingent consideration liability was valued at $37.73 million resulting in a $32.13 million fair value
adjustment which was included in the net loss reported in the Group’s 30 September 2024 interim
financial statements. The valuations included assumptions about the future share price of the Company’s
listed shares.
On 29 November 2024 the Company sold its investment in Being Consultants Limited and the contingent
consideration liability was cancelled as part of the sale. The contingent consideration was not revalued
up to the date of the sale of Being Consultants Limited, however based on share price movements in the
intervening period, management believe the movement from 1 April 2024 to 29 November 2024 would
have been significantly less than the 2024 half year movement recorded. The values allocated to the
actual consideration on the sale of Being Consultants Limited were determined between two informed
Being AI Limited
Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 30 September 2025
9
parties who understood the future potential of the specific operations involved. As a result, the Board
reversed the valuation at 30 September 2024 when recognising the gain on sale of Being Consultants
Limited in the 2025 annual consolidated financial statements.
Accordingly, the comparative information in these financial statements has been restated to remove this
$32.13 million fair value adjustment, in line with the treatment in the 2025 Annual Report.
The financial results of the divested Education Group (note 10.1) and the closed Project Treehouse (note
10.2) are separately disclosure as discontinued operations. In accordance with the requirements of NZ
IFRS 5 Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, comparative information for these
operations have also been re-presented separately as discontinued operations.
Certain other comparative information in these consolidated financial statements has been adjusted in
order to be consistent with the presentation of the current period. These other adjustments are limited
to classification and disclosure and had no significant net impact on total assets, total equity, profit or
cash flow classification.
2.2 Changes in Material Accounting Policies
There have been no changes in the accounting policies and methods of computation used in preparing
the condensed interim consolidated financial statements compared to those used in preparing the
audited consolidated financial statements for the 12 months ended 31 March 2025.
2.3 Going concern
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
assumes that the Group has the intention and ability to continue its operations for the foreseeable
future.
The Group achieved a net profit of $1.3 million in the six months to 30 September 2025 (six months to 30
September 2024: $3.5 million loss). The net profit for the period included a $1.7 million gain on disposal
of AGE Limited (note 10.1) and an operating loss from discontinued activities of $0.3 million (note 10.2).
The Group’s net cash inflow from operating activities was $1.8million (six months to 30 September 2024:
$4.2 million outflow).
At the reporting date the Group had cash of $1.6 million (31 March 2025: $0.4 million), negative working
capital of $8.6 million (31 March 2025: $4.6 million negative), and net liabilities of $5.5 million (31 March
2025: net liabilities of $7.0 million). Liabilities included borrowings of $12.7 million (31 March 2025:
$16.2 million) of which $8.2 million were current (31 March 2025: $3.8 million) and $4.5 million were
non-current (31 March 2025: $12.4 million).
At 30 September 2025 the Group had borrowed $4.4 million from Wilshire Treasury Limited (‘Wilshire’)
(note 8.1) (31 March 2025: $7.6 million). On 19 November 2025 Wilshire and Being AI agreed to increase
Wilshire’s existing loan facility with Being AI from $500,000 (note 8.1) to $1,100,000 to fund working
capital requirements and repay bank debt (note 16.2). Being AI will draw funds down from that facility as
required. Wilshire is ultimately jointly owned and controlled by Katherine Allsopp-Smith and Evan
Christian via E K Trust Limited. Evan Christian is the sole director of Wilshire. The loan is repayable on
1 April 2026. As at 30 September 2025 the Group had accrued for $280,000 of interest that is payable on
demand from Wilshire.
Being AI Limited
Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

On 4 November 2025 the Company announced that it had entered into a conditional agreement to sell
its shares in Send Global Limited and certain other assets to Wilshire (the ‘Send Global Transaction’)
(note 16.1). The total consideration is NZ$8,789,676, comprising:
- Wilshire assuming the outstanding loan and a trade balance owed by BAI to Send Global Limited;
- Wilshire offsetting the outstanding loan and trade balance owed by BAI to Wilshire; and
- Wilshire paying BAI a cash amount equal to $202,000.
Under the conditional sale agreement, if the completion occurs, Wilshire agrees to fund reasonable costs
in connection with BAI’s ongoing legal, contractual, or regulatory obligations. Wilshire has agreed that
this support will continue for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
The Send Global Transaction is conditional on:
- obtaining any necessary shareholder approvals under the NZX Listing Rules and Companies Act
1993; and
- ANZ Bank, Send Global Limited’s senior lender, consenting to the proposed transaction on
acceptable terms.
Being AI will hold a special shareholder meeting on 10 December 2025 to seek shareholder approval.
Katherine Allsopp-Smith and Evan Christian are both trustees of Te Turanga Ukaipo Charitable Trust and
ultimate owners of 2061 LP, which respectively hold 14.25% and 72.38% of the shares in Being AI. The
required shareholder approvals include an ordinary resolution under NZX listing Rule 5.2 Transactions
with Related Parties. Katherine and Evan and the shareholding entities associated with them, are not
permitted to vote on this ordinary resolution.
The Board has a reasonable expectation that shareholders will approve the Send Global Transaction.
Should this occur then the Company will have the necessary financial support to meet its obligations as
they arise over the period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Should shareholder approval not be obtained for the Send Global Transaction, the Group’s cash flow
forecasts indicate that the Group would not have sufficient cash reserves to meets its obligations as and
when they fall due without further financial support from Wilshire. The financial statement at 31 March
2025 were prepared on a going concern basis. Since the approval of those financial statements the
Group’s financial position has deteriorated as a result of the following factors:
- lower forecast full year profitability from the courier, mail and logistics business;
- higher listing related costs, director costs, legal fees and staff costs than forecast; and
- higher interest charges than forecast.
The Directors understand that if the Send Global Transaction resolutions are not approved and the
conditional sales agreement is subsequently terminated, 2061 LP may seek to call another shareholder
meeting at which it would seek to pass a resolution to approve the commencement of a solvent
liquidation of the Company in accordance with the Companies Act. The Directors acknowledge that the
above indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group's
ability to continue as a going concern.
The interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be made to
reflect a situation where the Group is unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments may
include realising assets at amounts different to which they are recorded in the consolidated financial
statements.
However, the considered view of the Board is that, after making due enquiries and considering relevant
factors, there is a reasonable expectation that the Send Global Transaction will be approved and the
Being AI Limited
Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 30 September 2025
11
Group will have access to adequate resources and commitments from Wilshire, that will enable it to
meet its financial obligations for the foreseeable future.
For this reason, the Board considers the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing the
consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2025 to be appropriate. The
Board has reached this conclusion having regard to circumstances which it considers likely to affect the
Group during the period of at least one year from the date of approval of these consolidated financial
statements, and to circumstances which it considers will occur after that date which will affect the
validity of the going concern basis.

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports reviewed and used by the
Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM’), being the Board of Directors, in assessing the Group’s
performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
4.1 Seasonal and cyclical influences
There are no seasonal or cyclical influences on these interim results.
5. Earnings/(loss) per share
The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is based on the following information:
The profit/(loss) and weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of earnings per
share are as follows:
On 25 June 2025 the Company repurchased 11.9 million of its ordinary shares for nil consideration (refer
note 9). As this transaction changes the number of shares outstanding without a corresponding change
in resources, the weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the earnings per share calculation
for both the current and comparative periods have been adjusted for the impact of this share buyback.

Group’s net loss from continuing operations (30 September 2024: 4.2 million share options not dilutive).

The Company announced on 4 November 2025 that it had entered into a conditional sale agreement to
sell its shares in Send Global Limited and certain other assets to Wilshire Treasury Limited (‘Wilshire’).
The ‘other assets’ identified for sale in the conditional agreement:
- include all of BAI’s other rights, interests, assets and property in addition to the shares in Send
Global Limited at completion of the proposed transaction; and
- exclude all cash held by BAI, any prepayment made by BAI, any deferred tax asset or GST receivable
attributable to BAI, any bond held by a third party on behalf of BAI, and any other cash equivalents
held by BAI at the completion date.
The total consideration will be NZ$8,789,676 (subject to adjustment in accordance with the sale
agreement), which will be satisfied by:
- Wilshire assuming the outstanding loan and a trade balance owed by BAI to Send Global Limited at
completion (‘Specified Liabilities’). As at 30 September 2025, the Specified Liabilities had an
aggregate outstanding balance equal to $8,059,006;
- Wilshire offsetting the outstanding loan and trade balance owed by BAI to Wilshire at completion
(‘Wilshire Loan’) against the consideration, in full and final satisfaction of the Wilshire Loan. As at
30 September 2025, the Wilshire Loan had an aggregate outstanding balance equal to $528,670;
and
- Wilshire paying BAI a cash amount equal to $202,000.
The transaction is conditional on:
- obtaining any necessary shareholder approvals under NZX Listing Rules and Companies Act 1993;
and
- ANZ Bank, Send Global Limited’s senior lender, consenting to the proposed transaction on
acceptable terms.
Being AI will hold a special shareholder meeting on 10 December 2025 to seek shareholder approval. If
approved, the transaction is expected to settle as soon as possible, and no later than five business days
following the special meeting.
Wilshire Treasury Limited is ultimately jointly owned and controlled by Katherine Allsopp-Smith
(director) and Evan Christian (alternate director) via E K Trust Limited. Evan Christian is the sole director
of Wilshire Treasury Limited. Katherine and Evan are also both trustees of Te Turanga Ukaipo Charitable

Transactions with Related Parties. Katherine and Evan and the shareholding entities associated with
them, are not permitted to vote on this ordinary resolution.

Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NZ IFRS 5 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Activities requires the sale of a disposal
group, such as Send Global Limited, to be highly probable in order to be classified as held for sale. The
Board have assessed the guidance of highly probable in NZ IFRS 5 and determined that, in their
judgment, at 30 September 2025, the potential sale of Send Global Limited did not meet the criteria to
be classified as held for sale.
16.2 Increase in loan facility with Wilshire Treasury Limited
On 19 November 2025 Wilshire Treasury Limited and Being AI agreed to increase Wilshire Treasury
Limited’s existing loan facility with Being AI from $500,000 (note 8.1) to $1,100,000 to fund working
capital requirements and repay bank debt. Being AI will draw funds down from that facility as required.
Being AI has separately conditionally agreed to sell all of its shares in Send Global Limited (among other
assets) to Wilshire Treasury Limited (refer note 16.1), and part of the consideration for that sale includes
Wilshire Treasury Limited offsetting the balance of Being AI’s outstanding loan owed to Wilshire Treasury
Limited. Accordingly, any increase in the outstanding balance of the Wilshire Treasury Limited loan
facility will effectively increase the consideration paid by Wilshire Treasury Limited in connection with
the sale of Send Global.
