Financial Commentary and Operations
The Company recorded a loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2024 of $12.7 million, which was a reduction in loss to the prior year of approximately $1.9 million.
The Company underwent a transition during the financial year, with the divestment of its Dirty Clean Food business in order to reduce costs and to focus on commercialising its next generation plant-protein product portfolio based on property IP.
As part of this strategic focus, the Company purchased a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility located in Germany, including technical infrastructure and staff. This facility has the ability and capacity to produce multiple plant proteins at commercial scale. Further, the Company has undertaken a review of costs, in order to preserve funds from its capital raising announced in May 2024, while it continues market development and sales efforts for its lupin and plant-proteins.
Dividends
No dividends were paid during the financial year (2023: Nil).
