Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Note 1 — Basis of preparation
Reporting entity
Locate Technologies Limited (the Company) is a company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand and listed on the
NZX Main Board. These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the
Group).
Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) as issued by the External Reporting Board.
The financial information in this document is unaudited. The audit of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June
2026 is in the process of being finalised. This document does not include all of the notes ordinarily included in a full set of
annual financial statements. The complete audited financial statements, including all notes, will be released with the
Company’s Annual Report on or before 30 September 2026 in accordance with NZX Listing Rule 3.6.1.
Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for Bitcoin and certain financial
instruments which are measured at fair value.
Presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars (NZD), which is the presentation currency of the Group.
All amounts are stated in New Zealand dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Comparative information
Comparative information is presented for the year ended 30 June 2025 (the prior corresponding period).
Going concern
Refer to note 2.
Material accounting policies
The material accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those applied
in the prior corresponding period. There has been no material change in accounting policies during the year. The material
accounting policies will be set out in full in the Annual Report.
Locate Technologies Limited | Financial statements, 30 June 2026 | Unaudited | Page 6
Note 2 — Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business
activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
For the year ended 30 June 2026 the Group recorded a loss after tax of $3,532,821 (2025: $1,991,453), net cash inflows
from operating activities of $335,449 (2025: net outflows of $185,498), a net current asset deficiency of $3,447,417
(2025: a net current asset position of $2,714,888) and net liabilities of $25,945 (2025: net assets of $1,748,380). All
amounts are presented in New Zealand dollars unless otherwise stated.
The Pure facility
The Group’s senior secured facility with Pure Asset Management (Pure) has principal owing of A$4,000,000 at a fixed rate
of 9.95% per annum and terminates on 7 November 2026. As the termination date falls within twelve months of balance
date, the facility is classified as a current liability at 30 June 2026, with a carrying amount of $4,725,503. Excluding the
facility from current liabilities, the Group had a net current asset position of $1,278,085.
The minimum Cash Balance and minimum Bitcoin Balance covenants were met throughout the year, and no Reporting
Event, Review Event or Event of Default was subsisting at balance date. The Reporting Event EBITDA hurdle was not met
for the quarter ended 30 September 2025, and Pure confirmed in writing on 6 October 2025 that it had waived its rights
in relation to that breach. The covenants, the variation agreed on 14 August 2025 and that waiver will be set out in full in
the Annual Report. The Group’s forecasts indicate that the covenants will continue to be met over the forecast period.
Refinancing
Pure has confirmed in writing to the Company, on a non-binding basis, its intention to convert A$1,000,000 of the
principal outstanding into a convertible note, with the remaining A$3,000,000 to be refinanced. The terms of the
proposed convertible note have not been finalised and remain subject to documentation and, where required, approval
under the NZX Listing Rules.
The Company and its advisers are in active discussion with a number of financial institutions and credit funds regarding
refinancing of the balance of the facility. No binding agreement had been entered into at the date of this report.
As with any refinancing, final terms may differ from those currently anticipated, and refinancing may not be completed, or
may not be available on acceptable terms, before the facility terminates on 7 November 2026.
Directors’ assessment
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the period to June 2027, approved by the Board on 27th August,
2026. The forecast indicates the Group has sufficient cash on hand and cash flows from operations to meet its debts as
they fall due over that period, provided the Pure facility is refinanced or restructured on or before its termination date.
In concluding that the going concern basis remains appropriate, the Directors have taken into account:
• the Board approved cash flow forecast referred to above, together with sensitivity analysis modelling
• the improvement in operating cash flows during the year, from net outflows of $185,498 in the prior year to net inflows of
$335,449;
• cash and cash equivalents at the date of this report of A$1.17m;
• the fair value of Bitcoin held at the date of this report of NZD$1,630,821, captures the Bitcoin holding; the facility covenants
require a minimum Bitcoin Balance of A$500,000, and which the Directors would realise, in whole or in part, if required to
meet obligations as they fall due;
• the Company’s established At the Market facility, under which capital may be raised progressively through the equity market
as required, subject to market conditions, available capacity under the NZX Listing Rules and prevailing trading liquidity;
• operating cost reductions within the control of management which the Directors are able to implement if forecast revenue
is not achieved
The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on:
• successfully refinancing or restructuring the Pure facility before it terminates on 7 November 2026;
• achieving forecast revenue growth, in particular securing new Enterprise customers for Locate2u, whilst stabilising the
recent revenue declines in Zoom2u;
• managing and controlling operating costs and generating positive cash flows from operations; and
• continuing to meet its covenants under the Pure facility.
Locate Technologies Limited | Financial statements, 30 June 2026 | Unaudited | Page 7
Material uncertainty
The matters set out above, in particular the requirement to refinance or restructure the Pure facility before 7
November 2026 in circumstances where no binding agreement had been entered into at the date of this report,
indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a
going concern and therefore to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Conclusion
Having considered the matters above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will secure the
necessary refinancing and will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months
from the date these financial statements are authorised for issue. Accordingly, the Directors consider it appropriate to
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts, or to the amounts and classification of liabilities, that might be necessary should the Group be unable to
continue as a going concern.

Note 3 — Segment reporting
The consolidated entity derives revenue from contracts with its customers through its two operating segments:
• Zoom2u and 2u Enterprises; and
• Locate2u.
Zoom2u and 2u Enterprises provide delivery and tracking services to customers through an internally developed platform
which allows customers to arrange the delivery of items, allocated to the closest driver. Fees earned include a fixed
booking fee charged to some customers and a platform fee charged to drivers. The segment also includes other revenue
from the Shred2u business, ad hoc web development services and bespoke distribution operations.
Locate2u derives most of its revenue from customers paying a monthly subscription fee for access to the Locate2u SaaS
product, which allows them to manage their own portfolio of drivers and optimise delivery routes.
These operating segments are based on the internal reports reviewed and used by the Board of Directors, identified as
the Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODM), in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
There is no aggregation of operating segments. The CODM reviews revenue and net profit / (loss) before tax. The CODM
does not regularly review segment assets and segment liabilities; refer to the statement of financial position for Group
assets and liabilities.
Corporate overheads that are not allocated to a reportable segment, being group premises, insurance, statutory, listing
and professional costs, and the costs of the listed parent, are reported as unallocated corporate expenses. Finance income
and finance costs are managed centrally and are reported below segment result as net finance costs.
Shred2u is reported within the Zoom2u and 2u Enterprises segment and is not a reportable segment in its own right.
Major customers
No single external customer accounted for 10% or more of the Group’s revenue for the year ended 30 June 2026.

Revenue from external customers by country
Revenue from external customers is attributed to the country from which it is billed, which is the basis applied in the prior
year. The Company is incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand; its operating businesses are conducted through its
Australian subsidiaries and, for part of the Locate2u business, through Locate2u USA Inc.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The loss after income tax for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2026 amounted to NZ$3,532,821 (30 June
2025: NZ$1,991,453). Group revenue for the year was NZ$7,086,890, compared with NZ$6,571,376 in the prior
corresponding period, growth of approximately 7.8%. EBITDA for the year was a loss of NZ$1,463,929 (prior year: a
loss of NZ$225,086).
Employee benefits expense for the year was NZ$3,814,306, compared with NZ$4,091,296 in the prior
corresponding period. Other expenses were NZ$4,783,068 (prior corresponding period: NZ$2,808,754). The
movement principally reflects two items that did not arise in the prior corresponding period, being the unrealised
Bitcoin revaluation loss and the costs of the NZX listing and the redomicile, partly offset by lower software
subscription and marketing costs.
Depreciation, amortisation and impairment was NZ$1,291,763, compared with NZ$1,182,626 in the prior
corresponding period. Finance costs were NZ$780,948 (prior corresponding period: NZ$615,778), and finance
income was NZ$3,819 (prior corresponding period: NZ$32,078).

1 EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure that is presented to provide an understanding of the performance of the Group's operations. In the opinion
of the Directors, the Group's EBITDA reflects the results generated from ongoing operating activities. Normalised EBITDA adjusts EBITDA
for non-recurring items and non-cash fair value movements that are not reflective of the Group's underlying operating performance. The
non-IFRS financial information is unaudited.

Locate2u recorded revenue for the year ended 30 June 2026 of NZ$3,994,962, representing growth of
approximately 33.7% over the prior corresponding period revenue of NZ$2,988,561. The movement was
driven by higher subscription revenue across the Locate2u customer base. The segment recorded a
result of a loss of NZ$132,908, compared with a loss of NZ$1,167,863 in the prior corresponding period.

REVENUE BASIS
Net, as agent
The revenue of the Zoom2u business segment, which includes the Zoom2u platform, 2u Enterprises and
Shred2u, for the year ended 30 June 2026 was NZ$3,091,928, compared with NZ$3,582,815 in the prior
corresponding period. The Zoom2u platform generated lower revenue than in the prior corresponding
period.
Revenue is recognised on a net basis, reflecting the Group's role as agent in arranging deliveries
between customers and independent courier drivers, so the revenue reported for this segment is not the
total transaction value processed through the platform. The segment delivered a segment result of a
profit of NZ$1,271,240 (prior corresponding period: a profit of NZ$1,557,550).

FACILITY TERMINATION
7 Nov 2026
Current liability at balance date
As at 30 June 2026, the Group held cash and cash equivalents of NZ$1,165,791 (30 June 2025: NZ$1,945,763)
and Bitcoin with a carrying amount of NZ$1,266,790 (30 June 2025: NZ$1,770,215). The Bitcoin holding is held in
custody with Zodia Custody and is measured at fair value. Net cash inflows from operating activities for the year
were NZ$335,449 (30 June 2025: net outflows of NZ$185,498).
The Group's senior secured facility with Pure Asset Management has principal owing of A$4,000,000 at a fixed rate
of 9.95% per annum and terminates on 7 November 2026. As the termination date falls within twelve months of
balance date, the facility is presented as a current liability at 30 June 2026, with a carrying amount of
NZ$4,725,503.
Pure has confirmed to the Company, on a non-binding basis, its intention to convert A$1,000,000 of the principal
outstanding into a convertible note, with the remaining A$3,000,000 to be refinanced. The terms of the proposed
convertible note have not been finalised and remain subject to documentation and, where required, approval under
the NZX Listing Rules. No binding agreement had been entered into at the date of this announcement.
GOING CONCERN
The Directors' going concern assessment, including the material uncertainty arising from the
requirement to refinance or restructure the facility, is set out in note 2 to the financial statements
accompanying this announcement.
LOCATE TECHNOLOGIES · REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 2026FINANCIAL POSITION AND FUNDING · 06
THE YEAR AHEAD
OUTLOOK
The Directors' focus for the year ahead is the continued scaling of Locate2u's recurring software
revenues, the optimisation of the Zoom2u business, and disciplined treasury and capital
management.
01
Scale Locate2u's recurring software revenues
Continue the subscription growth recorded in FY26 across the Locate2u customer base.
02
Deploy enterprise customers
Onboard and scale enterprise customers on the Locate2u platform, including the phased deployment of the
enterprise agreements described below.
03
Optimise Zoom2u and manage capital with discipline
Completing the refinancing or restructuring of the Pure Asset Management facility, which terminates on 7
November 2026, remains the Group's most significant near-term priority. The Directors' assessment of that
matter, and the material uncertainty to which it gives rise, is set out in note 2.
ENTERPRISE CUSTOMERS
GROWING ENTERPRISE CUSTOMER BASE
Securing and deploying enterprise customers on the
Locate2u platform is a key element of the Group's growth
strategy, and the Group is seeing a greater uptick in
enterprise customers using the platform. When
companies implement the software it can have a material
impact on cost reduction inside their business, in the
number of drivers required and the number of dispatch
and scheduling people. That impact is far greater for
larger enterprise customers than for a small business,
where the effect is much smaller. Growth in the
enterprise customer base during the year included a
three year services agreement signed in May 2026 with
FedEx Express Australia, announced to the market on 6
and 7 May 2026, under which Locate2u provides a last
mile logistics technology platform supporting driver
onboarding, compliance management and contractor pay
processing, and an end to end delivery management
system. Deployment under enterprise agreements is
phased, with progression subject to the customer's
ongoing review.
Revenue under enterprise agreements is variable and
depends on the number of drivers onboarded onto the
platform and the functionality taken, and the Company is
not in a position to quantify the financial contribution of
individual agreements at this time. Nothing in this review
is a revenue forecast. The Directors consider the growing
enterprise customer base to be strategically significant,
and securing new enterprise customers for Locate2u is
identified in the going concern assessment in note 2 as a
factor in achieving forecast revenue growth.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
ABOUT THIS REVIEW
This review of operations should be read together with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30
June 2026 released with it, and in particular the going concern disclosures in note 2. The financial statements are
presented in New Zealand dollars.
Non-GAAP measures
EBITDA and normalised EBITDA are non-GAAP measures.
They are not defined by NZ IFRS, are not audited, and
should not be viewed in isolation from or as a substitute
for the reported result. The Group presents them because
it considers they assist in understanding the performance
of its ongoing operating activities. Both are reconciled to
loss after tax in this review.
Audit status
The financial information referred to in this review is
unaudited. The audit of the financial statements for the
year ended 30 June 2026 is in progress and had not been

financial statements will be released with the Company's
Annual Report on or before 30 September 2026 in
accordance with NZX Listing Rule 3.6.1.

current at the date of this announcement and are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the Group's
control. Actual results may differ materially. The Group does not undertake to update forward-looking statements except as
required by the NZX Listing Rules.
