COOT 6-K: Gross profit AUD$3.46m but finance costs drive pre-tax loss
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Australian Oilseeds Holdings Limited reported partial financial figures in this 6-K snapshot. The company showed gross profit of AUD$3,461,910 and operating profit of AUD$339,677. Finance expenses were material at AUD$1,728,276, producing a reported loss before income tax of AUD$(1,345,727) and a loss attributable to members of the parent of AUD$(1,229,022). Reported basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share were (0.06) cents. The filing text is fragmented and contains many numerical line items without full labels or contextual totals.
The content is limited to selected line items and a signature by the CEO, Gary Seaton, dated September 30, 2025; several sections appear truncated or lack explanatory notes.
Positive
- Positive gross profit reported at AUD$3,461,910 indicating core sales exceeded direct costs
- Operating profit of AUD$339,677 suggests operating activities were marginally profitable before financing
Negative
- High finance expenses of AUD$1,728,276 which exceed operating profit and cause a pre-tax loss
- Net loss attributable to members of AUD$(1,229,022) and negative EPS of (0.06) cents
- Filing is fragmented and lacks notes, limiting ability to assess liquidity, tax, and one-off items
Insights
TL;DR: Reported gross profit and operating profit exist, but high finance costs drive a net loss; disclosure appears partial and fragmented.
The available figures show a positive gross margin (gross profit AUD$3.46m) and a small operating profit (AUD$0.34m), indicating core operations generated margin before financing. However, finance expenses of AUD$1.73m exceed operating profit and turn results to a pre-tax loss of AUD$(1.35m). The disclosed loss to members of AUD$(1.23m) and EPS of (0.06) cents are material to equity holders. The filing lacks full balance sheet context, tax expense detail, and explanatory notes, limiting ability to assess liquidity, cash flow, or recurring nature of finance costs.
TL;DR: Report provides signed management certification but is incomplete; investors lack required narrative and note disclosures.
The document includes a CEO signature (Gary Seaton) confirming submission, which supports formal governance compliance for a current report. However, the presentation is fragmented with many unlabeled numeric rows and missing captions for several line items. Material items such as income tax expense, reconciliations, and explanatory notes are absent, reducing transparency and making it difficult to evaluate accounting judgments or subsequent events from the filing alone.

INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT
Explanatory Note
As previously reported by Australian Oilseeds Holdings Limited (the “Company”), on August 22, 2025, the Company received written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) has determined to grant the request of the Company to continue its listing on Nasdaq for the period and subject to specified conditions. The Panel granted the Company an extension to regain compliance with continued listing requirements and demonstrate long-term compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A) (the “Equity Rule”) (which requires listed issuers to maintain minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million).
Specifically, the Panel provided the Company until September 30, 2025 to demonstrate compliance with the Equity Rule by filing a timely public disclosure describing the transactions undertaken by the Company to achieve compliance and demonstrate long-term compliance with the Equity Rule, and by providing an indication of its equity following those transactions. The Company may do so by including in the public filing a balance sheet with pro forma adjustments for any significant transactions or events occurring on or before the report date.
Interim Balance Sheet Showing Pro Forma Adjustments to Demonstrate Compliance
In compliance with the requirements of the Nasdaq Panel, the Company is filing this Form 6-K containing its unaudited balance sheet and income statement as of the end of its fiscal year of June 30, 2025 to demonstrate its continued compliance with the Equity Rule, which were reviewed by BDO. Shareholder's equity as of June 30, 2025 as per the Company’s unaudited balance sheet is AUD 4,721,826, which is equivalent to USD 3,166,405 (current exchange rate AUD/USD 0.66). BDO’s audit opinion is not provided as of today, we expect Form 20F with the BDO audit opinion to be filed on a timely basis on or before October 31, 2025.
