Independent review of the financial report (item 9) The financial report has been independently reviewed. The financial report is not subject to a qualified independent review statement. The independent audit review report includes the following statement: We draw attention to Note 1(i) in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the Group had cash outflows from operations of $26.6 million for the 6 months ended December 31, 2023. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Group obtaining additional funding from one or more sources to meet the Group's projected expenditure consistent with its business strategy over at least the next 12 months. These conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 1(i), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter. The independent audit review report is attached to the Financial Statements within the Form 6-K.
