Commenting on full-year performance, and FY27 outlook, from
Chair Alex Knowles and CEO & Managing Director Glenn Milnes
"FY26 was the strongest year for IKE with recurring revenue growth and
EBITDA materially in line with guidance.
The business continued to execute its strategy and delivered strong
financial results driven by product innovation, including the fast adoption
of AI inside the company’s operations and inside of our products, intense
customer experience focus, and prudent financial management.”
Subscription growth and customer momentum
Our subscription business grew strongly throughout the year with recurring revenues
reaching ~NZ$19.2 million, up 33% on the prior comparable period with gross
margins of 94%.
We added 26 new subscription customers in the fourth quarter alone — approximately
two new customers per week — bringing our total to 463 subscription customers as at
31 March 2026. These additions came across all three of IKE's interrelated customer
segments: electric utilities, communications companies, and their engineering service
providers. Over the course of FY26, IKE added more than 83 new subscription
customers — each of them representing a new institutional relationship built on the
quality and reliability of IKE's platform.
Our platform subscription annualised exit run rate (ERR) on 31 March 2026 was
approximately NZ$20.7 million, representing 18% growth in NZD and 21% growth in
constant currency terms. We note that one larger, long term customer completed
an engineering project in the fourth quarter. This customer is not lost. Occasional
customer project completions are one-off in nature, and we are highly confident in the
future pipeline of opportunities which remain at the highest level. The fourth quarter
overall saw record contract renewals.
FY26 // Year in Review

IKE PoleForeman — the new standard for U.S. distribution
network design
IKE PoleForeman, our next-generation distribution network structural analysis software,
achieved NZ$11 million in annualised recurring revenue during FY26 — inside two
years from product launch. Approximately 200 customers have now subscribed to IKE
PoleForeman to date, materially exceeding the adoption rate expectations we held at
launch. Today, IKE PoleForeman is the structural analysis standard inside 8 out of the
10 largest electric utilities in North America. That trajectory — from launch to market
standard in under two years — reflects both the quality of the product and the depth
of the relationships IKE has built across this industry over the past decade. We expect
further significant customer additions.
AI is viewed as IKE's accelerant — not its disruptor
There is a persistent narrative in technology markets that AI represents a risk to some
software companies. For IKE, our industry dynamics and the data suggest the opposite.
PolePilot — our AI automation module embedded inside IKE Office Pro — was released
during the year and enabled a ~10% pricing increase across the IKE Office Pro
subscription base without impacting churn. Customers paid more because PolePilot
delivers measurable, tangible productivity gains in the engineering of overhead utility
infrastructure. This is AI generating revenue uplift in the real world, not on a roadmap.
The recognized revenue benefit of this price increase will primarily hit in FY27.
The reason we believe IKE is defensible against AI disruption is based on three primary
factors. First, IKE is embedded inside utility engineering workflow standards. When
a Standards Director from a major utility co-creates a product specification with IKE,
that specification is generally written into their organisation's engineering standards.
Every engineer in that utility is then mandated to use IKE — not as a preference, but as
a requirement. General-purpose AI is likely to not displace a product that is written into
an engineering standard. Second, IKE owns a proprietary dataset of more than 20 million
human-engineered power assets. This data is the foundation for IKE-specific AI training
that general large language models or new market entrants cannot replicate. Third, IKE
has a direct go-to-market, customer experience model and an independently assessed
NPS customer experience of 91 — placing us in the top percentile of B2B software
businesses globally for customer trust and advocacy. Customers who trust IKE at that
level do not readily leave.
CEO and Chair Commentary – FY26 // Year in Review
62026 ikeGPS Annual Report
Every additional AI feature IKE seeks to deploy is intended to widen the productivity gap
between what we deliver and what any alternative could offer, it is intended to deepen
switching cost, and to create further pricing opportunity. We see the AI transition as the
most significant accelerant for IKE.
Educating and certifying the North American industry
IKE's investment in the education of the North American electric utility and communications
industry is a deliberate part of our long-term market development strategy. In FY26, more
than 3,000 industry professionals attended IKE's National Electric Safety Code webinar
series, representing over 800 organisations. A further 1,700 engineers completed IKE's
in-person NESC and OSHA certification programmes across more than 500 organisations,
becoming IKE Certified. IKE University — our end-to-end training platform — continues to
grow as the authoritative educational resource for NESC compliance, OSHA safety, and IKE
product proficiency across the industry. Every certified engineer is a potential IKE user, and
every organisation we train is a potential IKE customer. This is market development that
hope will deliver compounding returns.
Customer Council and new product development
IKE's Customer Council — comprising Standards Directors from Investor-Owned Utilities
such as Duke Energy, Southern Company, Exelon, Florida Power & Light, Consumers Energy,
Entergy, and a number of other major North American utilities — remains one of the more
strategically valuable assets in the business. These are not passive advisory relationships.
Standards Directors are co-architects of IKE's product roadmap. When they shape a product
specification, it is likely to be embedded into their organisation's engineering standards.
This creates high demand confidence before launch, standards-level lock-in on adoption,
and institutional switching cost at its maximum. No amount of capital can replicate this in
three years. IKE earned it through a decade of delivery.
The two new customer council-led subscription software modules that we referenced earlier
in the year are progressing on plan. For Module One, we are targeting initial beta customer
testing within the next nine months. Work on Module Two is also underway, with prototyping
complete as we move into full-scale development. We believe each of these products has
the potential to generate more revenue than any product IKE has launched to date. We look
forward to keeping shareholders updated as development milestones are achieved.
CEO and Chair Commentary – FY26 // Year in Review
72026 ikeGPS Annual Report
Balance sheet and financial position
IKE ended FY26 with approximately NZ$33 million in cash and deposits, with no debt.
This is a strong balance sheet by any measure, and it gives IKE the financial capacity to
invest in the three dimensions of long-term value creation: new product development, new
customer acquisition, and selective M&A where the right opportunity arises. We intend to
allocate capital with the same discipline that has characterised IKE's management of the
business to date.
Board appointment
We were pleased to welcome Rod Snodgrass to the IKE Board as Non-Executive Director.
Rod brings deep executive experience from senior leadership roles in the infrastructure and
technology sectors. His knowledge of the markets in which IKE operates, and the capital
and commercial dynamics that define them, is directly relevant to IKE's next phase of
growth. His appointment further strengthens a Board that has guided IKE from a start-up to
a respected utility infrastructure software businesses in North America.
Market tailwinds — a once-in-a-generation infrastructure cycle
IKE operates at the intersection of several of the most powerful structural investment
cycles in the North American economy. US electric utility capital expenditure is projected
at between US$1.1 trillion and US$1.4 trillion from 2025 to 2030 — approximately US$194
billion in 2025 alone, growing at an 8.5% five-year CAGR. The United States electric grid
must scale from providing 20% to 50% of national energy capacity by 2050. Morningstar
DBRS has declared this a utility investment 'super-cycle' — the steepest demand
growth in decades.
Much of this capital expenditure touches the distribution layer — the part of the grid
where poles are assessed, joint use attachments are engineered, make-ready analysis is
completed, and grid hardening programmes are executed. This is the workflow layer that IKE
occupies. We are not watching the investment cycle from the outside. We are inside it.
Layered on top of grid capacity investment, 130 million wooden poles across North
America are approaching the 45-to-50-year failure threshold. Up to 35 million poles will
require replacement or reinforcement by 2035. Severe weather events now account for
80% of major US outages. The requirement for digital pole intelligence is not discretionary
— it is increasingly mandated for reliability and resiliency compliance by regulators, by
utilities themselves, and by the federal grant programmes investing in distribution network
modernisation.
CEO and Chair Commentary – FY26 // Year in Review
82026 ikeGPS Annual Report
The $43 billion BEAD broadband funding programme is expected to continue to drive fibre
attachment volume across utility poles. Every major fibre and 5G deployment requires a
structural load assessment for every pole. IKE software is a tool to run those assessments.
Outlook — FY27 guidance
We believe IKE enters FY27 with strong momentum across subscription revenue growth,
product development, customer acquisition, and market positioning. We expect platform
subscription revenue in FY27 at similar growth rates to those achieved in FY26. Our balance
sheet is strong, our pipeline is strong, our two new customer council-led products are
progressing on plan, and the macro tailwinds underpinning our market are strengthening,
not weakening. There are of course risks when building a high growth business, such as
potential new competitor market entry, potential new disruptive technologies, and macro-
economic shocks however FY27 is expected to be a year of continued execution against a
well-defined strategy.
On behalf of the IKE team — thank you to you our shareholders, and every person who
contributes to making IKE what it is. FY26 was great. We will build on it."

ikeGPS Group Limited (“the Group”) is a New Zealand company. Its shares are quoted on the New
Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) and Australian Securities Exchanges (ASX). The Group became a foreign
exempt listed issuer on the ASX in September 2016.
On our website: https://ikegps.com/investors/ you will find the following corporate governance
documents referred to in this section:
There was no material changed in the nature of the Group’s business during the year ended
31 March 2026.
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 2026, the Company
complies with the recommendations set by the NZX Corporate Governance Code, except where it
deems alternative measures are more appropriate as disclosed.
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 1.15.3, ikeGPS Group confirms it continues to comply with the
listing rules of the NZX.
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 2025 and 31 March 2026, 9 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.
The Board has three Directors who are ordinarily resident in New Zealand, these are Mark Ratcliffe, Rod
Snodgrass, and Roz Buick.
Director independence
The Board Charter requires that at least two Directors be Independent Directors, and sets out the
circumstances in which a Director will not be regarded as independent. The Board assesses the
independence of each non-executive Director annually, and on appointment, against the definition
of Independent Director in the NZX Listing Rules and the factors in Table 2.4 of the NZX Corporate
Governance Code. Each Director provides ongoing disclosure of interests, positions, associations and
relationships relevant to that assessment, and the interests register is updated at each Board meeting.
Both Alex Knowles and Fred Lax have (at balance date, or shortly thereafter) been Directors for longer
than 12 years triggering one of the factors described in the NZX Corporate Governance Code. In the
case of both the Board determined that this factor does not give rise to a Disqualifying Relationship
because they both have no employment, contractual or business relationship with the Group beyond
directorship; the fees charged do not represent a substantial portion of annual revenue; and their
experience continues to strengthen the Board's oversight of management rather than align him with it.
Following its review for the year ended 31 March 2026, the Board has determined that Alex Knowles,
Roz Buick, Mark Ratcliffe, Fred Lax, and Rod Snodgrass are Independent Directors, and that a majority
of the Board is therefore independent. Glenn Milnes, as CEO and Managing Director, is an executive
Director and is not independent.
Diversity policy
The Group fosters an inclusive working environment that promotes employment equity and workforce
diversity at all levels, including within the executive team and Board. The Diversity policy is available
on the investor relations website. A gender breakdown of Directors and Officers of the Group and its
subsidiaries as at 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025 is detailed below. For the purposes of accurate
disclosure, Glenn Milnes is shown both as a Director and an Officer.
402026 ikeGPS Annual Report
Director training
Each Director undertakes appropriate education to remain current in how to best perform their duties as
Directors. Individual Directors maintain membership of relevant bodies such as the Institute of Directors
and receive information independently and from management in relation to specific issues relevant to
the Group, the markets in which it operates, or to NZX and ASX listed companies generally.
Board performance
On a regular basis the Board reviews how it is performing. The review process comprises a group
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 processes, and the
information provided in Board papers. Broadly, the Board is satisfied that the Board and its committees
are operating well, and that the performance process used is both effective and suited to the company.
Remuneration
Remuneration of directors
Directors’ fees are currently set at a maximum of $550,000 for the non-executive Directors. The actual
amount of fees paid in the year to 31 March 2026 was $391,345.
Directors’ fees and other remuneration and benefits (including share option expense) from the Company
recognized in profit or loss during the accounting period ended 31 March 2026 are as follows:

other expenses incurred in performing their role as a Director any reimbursement is not reflected above.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Glenn Milnes’s employment agreement for his role as CEO commenced in July 2010. His agreement
reflects appropriate standard conditions for a CEO of a listed company.
Glenn’s remuneration is a combination of fixed salary and incentive arrangements.
The employee stock options have vesting dates from 2024 to 2030. Vesting at each date is dependent
on him remaining an employee at the applicable vesting date.
The variable remuneration items are a Short Term Incentive (STI) component set at up to 50% of
base salary, and a Long Term Incentive (LTI) component set at up to 50% of base salary, in employee
stock options. These are measured against specific financial and non-financial targets set annually
by the Board.
The CEO's variable remuneration for FY26 was structured with 50% linked to IKE's financial
performance, and 50% linked to Board-approved strategic KPIs covering capital markets management,
relative share price performance against ASX and NZX peers, new product development, and talent
retention & hiring.
IKE fully achieved the financial and capital markets component, reflecting approximately 33%
subscription revenue growth, balance sheet strength, and delivery of FY26 guidance for EBITDA. The
Board assessed achievement against the strategic KPI component based on investor engagement,
relative market performance, and organizational technology and talent outcomes

Committees
The Board committees review and consider in
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 FY26 year, the Group’s standing
Board committees were the:
•
Audit, Risk Management, and Sustainability
committee
•
Nominations and Remuneration committee
Audit, Risk Management, and Sustainability (ARC)
committee:
Fred Lax (chair), Mark Ratcliffe, Rod Snodgrass
All members of the Committee are now
independent non-executive Directors, consistent
with recommendation 3.1 of the NZX Corporate
Governance Code and NZX Listing Rule 2.13.2.
The Committee is chaired by Fred Lax, an
Independent Director who is not the Chair of
the Board. Fred has extensive governance
experience and has chaired the audit committees
of other public companies. Mark Ratcliffe is
the member with the requisite finance and
accounting background for the purposes of NZX
Listing Rule 2.13.2(b). Rod Snodgrass joined
the Committee following his appointment to
the Board, bringing executive leadership and
technology-sector governance experience.
Changes during the year: Glenn Milnes, CEO
and Managing Director, stepped down as a
member of the Committee on 1 December 2025.
This change was made to align the Committee's
composition fully with recommendation 3.1
of the NZX Code, which recommends that an
audit committee comprise solely non-executive
Directors. Until that date, Mr Milnes served as a
member as disclosed in prior annual reports.
The CEO, CFO, and other members of
management attend Committee meetings by
invitation only.
The committee’s Charter is set out on the
investor relations website and is reviewed and
updated every two years, or as required. The
committee met four times in the year to 31
March 2026. All meetings were attended by all
who were committee members at the time of
the meeting.
Management attends meetings only at the
committee's invitation and are not present
for any part of a meeting at which their own
performance, remuneration or matters affecting
their independence are considered. At least
annually, the committee meets with the external
auditors with management excluded.
Nominations and Remuneration committee:
Mark Ratcliffe (Chair), Fred Lax
The committee members are independent
Directors. The committee met on two occasions
in the year to 31 March 2026. 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, with a majority of
independent directors it can manage a takeover
process and any additional issues effectively as
a whole Board should it arise.
The Board will review this position if
the composition or size of the Board
changes materially.
442026 ikeGPS Annual Report
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
Under recent reforms and developments ikeGPS
will no longer classified as a Climate Reporting
Entity. Under the relief available whilst these
changes are enacted ikeGPS is not required to
prepare mandatory climate statements for the
year ended 31 March 2026.
The Board and management of ikeGPS will
continue to monitor legislative developments
in both jurisdictions and assess the Group's
reporting obligations as applicable thresholds
and commencement dates approach.
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.
Information for investors
The Group’s annual meeting will be held virtually
on Thursday, 10 September 2026 (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. Given the size of the business and
the current stage of its development, the Board
has determined that the costs and benefits of
establishing a formal internal audit function are
not justified. The Board will continue to review
this position as the Group grows. Risk oversight
is maintained through management's ERM
framework and the ARC's oversight role.
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.
452026 ikeGPS Annual Report
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. 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 37 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position
as at 31 March 2026, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the 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
consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2026 and of its consolidated 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
Intangible assets- Impairment assessment and the
carrying value of assets
As disclosed in Note 3 and Note 12, the Group has
undertaken an assessment of the carrying value of its
assets, including intangible assets, in accordance with the
requirements of NZ IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.
Cash generating units (CGUs) that are not yet 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 and goodwill. 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 three CGUs:
• IKE core platform (CGU1);
• Spike (CGU2); and
• IKE Structural (CGU3).
During the year, the Directors resolved to amalgamate the
former IKE Insight (CGU4) into the IKE core platform CGU.
Impairment tests prepared by management were based on
discounted cashflow models using the Board approved
budget for the year ending 31 March 2027 and combined
with forecasted cash flows for subsequent years.
The key assumptions in assessing CGU carrying value,
were as follows:
• Cash flow projections;
• Average forecast annual revenue growth rates;
• The terminal value growth rate; and
• The pre-tax discount rate.
The procedures we performed to evaluate the impairment
assessment, amongst others, included the following:
• performed procedures to evaluate and challenge the
Group’s determination of cash-generating units (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, reconciling
assets allocated to CGUs to accounting records, and
evaluating the basis for amalgamating CGU4 into
CGU1;
• obtained management’s impairment assessments and
tested the completeness and mathematical accuracy of
the value-in-use calculations;
• considered and challenged key assumptions, including
cash flow projections, annual forecasted revenue growth
rate, discount rates, and terminal growth rates, and used
our internal valuation experts to assess the valuation
methodology’s compliance with NZ IAS 36. This
included evaluating the appropriateness of pre-tax
discount rates and terminal growth rates by
benchmarking against external data and industry-
specific rates;
• compared the forecasted cash flows used for the year
ending 31 March 2027 to the Board-approved business
plan and assessed the basis for cash flow forecasts
beyond this period, including management’s justification
for long-term growth assumptions;
• evaluated the historical accuracy of management’s
forecasting by comparing previous period budgets to
actual outcomes to assess the reliability of future
projections;
• assessed the sensitivity analysis prepared by
management, including the impact of changes in key
assumptions such as discount rates, growth rates, and
forecasted cash flows, and evaluated whether the
related disclosures highlight estimation uncertainty and
potential impairment risk appropriately; and
• reviewed the disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements to assess whether they were complete,
accurate, and compliant with the requirements of NZ
IAS 36, particularly in areas involving significant
estimation and judgement.
Why the matter is significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Software Intangible assets – Capitalisation of
internally developed software and amortisation
The software intangible assets carrying value is
$5.758m at 31 March 2026. This is comprised of
computer software development assets and
development work in progress.
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, amongst others, included the
following:
• obtained an understanding of the controls and
processes implemented by management to ensure that
capitalisation assessments are appropriate and that
costs are accurately determined;
• obtained from management their capitalisation analysis
for asset additions during the period, including the basis
of cost determination and the classification of assets;
• selected samples of development costs recognised
within work-in-progress (WIP) additions during the year
and assessed whether these costs were directly
attributable to development activities. This included
review of supporting documentation such as JIRA epics
and stories, salary allocations, consultant invoices, and
internal project tracking, including monthly approvals
from project engineers as evidenced through meeting
minutes;
• for sampled projects that were transferred from WIP to
capitalised development assets during the year, we
evaluated whether the capitalisation criteria under NZ
IAS 38 – Intangible Assets had been appropriately met,
including whether the project was available for use; and
• reviewed the disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements for completeness and appropriateness.
In respect to the amortisation of intangible assets, our
procedures, amongst others, included the following:
• obtained an understanding of the controls and
processes implemented by management to ensure that
useful life assessments are appropriate;
• obtained managements paper supporting the basis for
their assessments of useful lives applied to capitalised
assets;
• assessed the basis of managements useful lives for
reasonableness and ensuring amortisation periods
applied to intangible assets were consistent with those
assessments.
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.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required
to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
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 2026 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 29 May 2026.
2. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026 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. NZ IFRS 18 has been issued but is not yet
effective, this standard sets out requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in financial
statements. IKE is still assessing the impact of this standard.

year ended 31 March 2026

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.
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$7.5M for the year ended 31 March 2026 (2025: NZ$16.3M) 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 term
deposits and cash-on-hand of $32.8M as at 31 March 2026, 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 at 31 March 2026 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
(including intangibles not yet available for use). The Directors identified the following cash generating units
(CGUs):
CGU1 – IKE Core platform: intangible assets, property plant and equipment, Goodwill, 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.
The Directors concluded 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 $6.9M including goodwill. Future cash flows are forecasted
based on a five-year business model for CGU1, which included, what directors consider to be, a conservative
average revenue growth rate of 15% and operating expenses reflecting the FY27 business plan.
During the year, the Directors resolved to amalgamate the former CGU4 (IKE Insight) into CGU1. This decision
reflected a fundamental change in the commercial strategy for the underlying technology: rather than
continuing to offer the product as a standalone add-on (the basis on which CGU4 was originally identified), the
Directors approved its integration as a built-in feature of CGU1's core product offering.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2026
11
3. Material accounting policies (continued)
Following the integration, the cash inflows previously generated by CGU4 became inseparable from, those of
CGU1. The technology no longer generates discrete revenue streams; instead, it contributes to the pricing,
retention, and margin profile of the combined CGU1 product.
Therefore, CGU4 ceased to meet the definition of a cash-generating unit under NZ IAS 36, as it no longer generates
cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. This represented a
change in the composition of the CGUs to which goodwill had been allocated, triggering the reallocation
requirements of NZ IAS 36.
In accordance with NZ IAS 36, management performed an impairment test on both CGU1 and CGU4 at half year,
prior to the reorganisation, using the pre-existing CGU structure. No impairment was identified in either CGU at that
date.
Management then assessed the appropriate basis for reallocating the goodwill previously held in CGU4. The relative
value approach contemplated by NZ IAS 36 was considered but determined the best method in this instance. The
Company identifies its CGUs on a product-set basis, and following integration, the technology acquired that
generated the original goodwill is deployed exclusively within, and generates economic benefits exclusively for,
CGU1. No other CGU derives synergies, cash flows, or margin uplift from the technology. On this basis,
management concluded that allocating 100% of the former CGU4 goodwill to CGU1 better reflects the location of
the synergies and future economic benefits than a relative value allocation would.
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 18.4% 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 recognised if
the average growth rate was 27.3% lower than forecasted.
The Directors have determined that no impairment is required as CGU1’s carrying value does not exceed its value in
use.
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
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. CGU3 was determined to have a carrying value of $1.3M. A pre-tax discount rate of 25% 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 CGU4. An impairment would need to be recognised if
the average growth rate was 65.1% lower than forecasted.
The Directors have determined that no impairment is required as CGU3’s carrying value does not exceed its value in
use.

year ended 31 March 2026

3. Material accounting policies (continued)
Overall, across the CGUs the Directors have taken a prudent approach to forecasting future revenues.
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,
foreign exchange rates, 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").
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);
+ 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:

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.
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 revenue.

6. Expenses
Operating expenses consist of operating, sales, marketing, engineering, research, and corporate costs.
1. Relates to employee benefit expense, external contractors and consultants’ expenses that are directly
attributable to the development of intangible assets and have been capitalised.
2. Relates to short-term and low-value leases and common area maintenance costs.
3. Selling and marketing expenses included promotional activities, travel, commissions, and other direct
marketing costs.
4. Impairment charge relating to obsolete intangible assets (for more detail see note 12).
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.

6. Expenses (continued)
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 profit and loss 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:

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 $3,566,700 (2025: 4, 720,617).
ikeGPS Group Limited has unrecognised tax losses of $21,666,328 (2025: $13,787,444) available for use against
future taxable profits, subject to the New Zealand Tax Legislation requirements being met. ikeGPS Inc has
unrecognised tax losses of $47,346,806 (2025: $53,460,201), of which $7,917,482 is available indefinitely for use
against future taxable profits and $45,542,719 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 $30,041 (2025: $31,268) and Spike finished goods by Nil
(2025: Nil).
11. Property, plant, and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment 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.

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.
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,
i. there is an ability to use or sell the software product,
ii. it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic
benefits,
iii. adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development and to use or
sell the software product are available, and
iv. the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably
measured.

12. Intangible assets (continued)
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 CGU 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 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 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 cost of disposal 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. 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.

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.

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 $112,594 (2025: $748,016).
At reporting date, 83% (2025: 50%) of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were with one bank.
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:

16. Financial instruments and financial risk management (continued)
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 in 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 2025, 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.

17. Fair value estimation (continued)
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-

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 ($0.04) and ($0.10) 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.
During the year the group undertook an equity raise and issued an additional 32,442,948 ordinary shares, raising a
net additional $27.2M. Otherwise 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.

21. Share-based payments reserve (continued)
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.
The Group determined the value of shares issued under contractual share-based payments based on the share price
at the time of grant. This price is fixed.
A total of 174,920 shares at a value of $173,815 were issued during the period for services rendered (2025: 372,094
shares at a value of $173,206).
Share options were granted to directors and selected employees to retain, reward, and motivate such individuals to
contribute to the growth and profitability of the Group.
Options outstanding at 31 March 2026 have a contractual life from grant date of between 4 and 6 years. Options
can be exercised at any time after vesting and unexercised options expire at the end of the contract or if the
employee leaves the Group. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the options in
cash. Any share to be issued on the exercise of the option will be issued on the same terms and will rank equally in
all respects with the ordinary shares in the company on issue.
Movements in the number of share options outstanding and their related average exercise prices are as follows:
Out of the 12,138,887 outstanding options 8,008,932 (2025: 8,215,719) had vested and were exercisable at 31 March
2026.
