Directors' Report
Letter kom the
Managing Director and Chairman
A year of transikon
Laying the foundakon for growth
It is with great pride and optimism that we reflect on the achievements of Invictus Energy Ltd over the course of the 2024 Financial Year. This year has been transformational for our company, marked by major milestones that significantly advance our journey from exploration to development, bringing us closer to realising the full potential of our projects in Zimbabwe that continue to position Invictus as a leader in Southern Africa's energy landscape.
"We share a deep sense of pride in securing this partnership
and in the opportunikes AMOG presents for all stakeholders as it looks to unlock A£ica's vast energy potenkal."
Securing a
transformakonal partnership
Confirmation of our partnership with Qatari-based Al Mansour Holdings (AMH), led by His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Jabor bin Jassim Al Thani of Qatar, represents one of the most
important milestones in Invictus's history. This outcome followed more than a year of detailed negotiations, led by our senior leadership team with strong support from the Board.
Finalised shortly after year end, this partnership has been exceptionally well received by the market. It reflects confidence not only in the quality of our Cabora Bassa Project, but also in Invictus' emergence as a trusted and credible African upstream company.
AMH brings long-term institutional backing and investment commitment across multiple industries in Africa. By aligning with AMH, Invictus is strategically positioned at the centre of a far-reaching African growth story.
Expanding our Akican energy footprint
Together with AMH, we launched Al Mansour Oil & Gas (AMOG), a new Africa-focused upstream joint venture company. While Cabora Bassa remains our flagship asset, AMOG has been established to acquire and invest in upstream producing and near-term development oil and gas assets across Africa, as
well as pursue strategic corporate merger and acquisition opportunities.
The venture will be underpinned by the technical and commercial expertise of Invictus with the financial backing of a sovereign-linked financial partner through AMH and the Al Mansour Group. AMOG aspires to be the largest private Qatari E&P company with interests outside of Qatar. AMOG will serve as the energy sector anchor within a broader pan-African investment strategy by AMH.
Deepening nakonal partnerships
Invictus Energy has continued to strengthen its partnerships within Zimbabwe, underscoring the national importance
of the Cabora Bassa Project and its role as a catalyst for the development of a domestic oil and gas industry.
During the year, the Company received strong support from institutional shareholder, Mangwana Capital, which has been instrumental in mobilising a strategic investment consortium. This cornerstone group includes the Mutapa Investment Fund (the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Zimbabwe), the National Social Security Authority (NSSA) and a number of other leading local institutional investors. Their participation not only reinforces confidence in the Company's long-term prospects but also demonstrates alignment between Invictus' success and Zimbabwe's economic development objectives.
A landmark achievement was Invictus' listing on the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange (VFEX), providing Zimbabwean investors with the opportunity to directly participate in the Company's growth. This milestone broadens the shareholder base, fosters inclusive ownership and enhances alignment with national stakeholders.
Following year end, the Company achieved another significant milestone with the award of National Project Status (NPS) by the Government of Zimbabwe. NPS recognises projects of strategic national importance and confers both fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to accelerate development.
In parallel, Invictus and the Government have finalised the terms of the Petroleum Production Sharing Agreement (PPSA), which at time of writing was being prepared for execution. The PPSA establishes the fiscal and legal framework for the Cabora Bassa Project and lays the foundation for the project to deliver lasting benefits for Zimbabwe.
Community and environmental stewardship
Invictus prides itself on strong connections with the communities in which it operates. During the year, we supported a range
of social and cultural initiatives in our districts, including Independence Day celebrations and awareness workshops.
In the week following year end, our team participated in a Ministry of Education careers day for students from 11 rural schools in upper Muzarabani, highlighting the diverse career opportunities within the energy sector. Throughout the year, Invictus was also represented at various trade and industry events and contributed to Ministry of Energy workshops on the development of a National Energy Plan.
Corporate Social Responsibility activities towards the end of 2024, particularly fire prevention and road clearing, prevented uncontrolled bushfires during the dry season, with benefits
extending into 2025, supporting effective environmental recovery during the wet season.
During the year, the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) approved our Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for pilot production activities at the Cabora Bassa Project, which includes the Eureka Gold Mine Gas-to-Power Project. The ESIA approval reinforces our commitment to responsible, sustainable development, and paves the way for 3D seismic and further appraisal drilling.
Additionally, the Company's Exploration Environmental Impact Assessment Certificate was renewed in April, which represents one of Zimbabwe's largest and most comprehensive ESIAs ever developed and our commitment to best practice management of environmental and social issues in our operational footprint.
MFCI sets eye on carbon future
Invictus's Miombo Forest Carbon Investments (MFCI) division has been closely monitoring the development and introduction of the Climate Change Management Bill 2025 - Zimbabwe's first national legislation governing emerging carbon markets.
The Bill establishes a robust framework to monitor and regulate carbon credits for projects such as the Ngamo-Gwayi-Sikumi (NGS) REDD+ project, which supports the Company in offsetting Scope 1 and 2 emissions generated across the lifecycle of the Cabora Bassa Project.
MFCI and its partner the Forestry Commission of Zimbabwe have completed the registration process and submitted all documentation required for approval of the NGS REDD+ project under the new regulatory framework and are now awaiting approval.
Directors' Report
Letter kom the
Managing Director and Chairman
" Planning for high-impact explorakon drilling at the Musuma-1 well is advanced and will provide valuable insights into the Eastern Margin plays, and targeted appraisal at
the Mukuyu gas field will refine our focus for the project's inikal development phase."

INVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED
2025 ANNUAL REPORT
Operakonal outlook
Over the past two years, Cabora Bassa exploration success has positioned Invictus as an emerging energy producer in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The next 24 months will include well testing and appraisal drilling at Mukuyu, pilot production planning for our gas-to-power pilot at Eureka Gold Mine and critical permitting and infrastructure approvals. Planning for high-impact exploration drilling at the Musuma-1 well is advanced and will provide valuable insights into the Eastern Margin plays, refining our focus for the project's initial development phase.
While the precise timeline for development will ultimately be guided by the outcomes of appraisal activities, the work
completed to date has established a strong foundation for the transition to development. These milestones underscore the Company's commitment to advancing the Cabora Bassa Project in a disciplined and transparent manner.
Licence renewals (including Special Grant 4571 and EPO 1848 and 1849) provide extended tenure security across the basin, supporting ongoing exploration and development.
Improving facilikes
Activity will be supported from our new corporate headquarters in Harare to facilitate ongoing growth as well as accommodate senior expatriate staff while in country during field activities.
Development works also continued at our supply base in the Cabora Bassa Basin, which now has accommodation for 20 staff and supporting storage, logistics and workshop
spaces to cater to full-scale exploration drilling and associated contractor activity.
These facilities will provide us with the infrastructure to deliver our future programs and activities.
Unlocking value and growing our resource base
Invictus is committed to growing its resource base through a disciplined program of high-impact exploration and appraisal across the Cabora Bassa portfolio.
Our fields, prospects and leads are continually advanced through seismic acquisition, drilling and well testing programs, with the objective of converting resources into Reserves classification -commercial resources that underpin long-term value.
Completion of these appraisal programs will enable us to define a robust development plan, secure sales agreements, meet licensing requirements and obtain the financing necessary to bring these resources into production.
The Mukuyu Gas Field's resource estimates will be updated following 3D seismic, appraisal drilling and well testing across its large 200km2 area to determine the ultimate resource volume.
The Eastern Margin gas prospects in the Cabora Bassa Basin (which comprise eight high potential targets) are estimated to hold Prospective Resources of approximately 2.9 trillion cubic feet (Tcf ) of gas and 184 million barrels of condensate (gross mean unrisked). This includes the Musuma prospect, targeted by the upcoming Musuma-1 well, which is estimated to contain
1.2 Tcf of gas and 73 million barrels condensate (gross mean unrisked).
The Southern Basin Margin play contains conventional oil targets with an estimated Prospective Resource of 1.2 billion barrels of oil (gross mean unrisked) across five high potential prospects.
Upcoming exploration drilling will aim to test and de-risk these targets.
Corporate and financial strength
During the year, Invictus significantly enhanced its corporate and financial position through a series of strategic initiatives. A cornerstone US$12 million placement was completed with
Mangwana Capital, reinforcing strong local institutional support.
Subsequent to year end, this was complemented by the landmark strategic investment from Al Mansour Holdings, which contributed US$24.5 million and secured conditional future financing of up to US$500 million to bring the Cabora Bassa Project into commercial production. The Qatari investment demonstrates confidence that the Zimbabwean Government's business-friendly policies provide a stable investment environment.
The sovereign backing of Al Mansour Holdings underpins the establishment of Al Mansour Oil & Gas (AMOG), a joint venture platform with Invictus that will pursue broader upstream opportunities across Africa.
Alongside these financial achievements, the Company strengthened its executive team with experienced leaders, ensuring organisational capacity is in place to deliver the next phase of growth and development.
Looking ahead
As we reflect on the year, we are energised by the foundation our Company has built. With the AMH partnership secured, AMOG established, NPS awarded, PPSA executed and preparations underway for appraisal and new exploration drilling, Invictus
is poised for a new chapter of exploration, development and commercial success.
The 2026 Financial Year will be one of execution - moving from partnerships and planning into tangible operational progress on the ground. With strong ongoing support from our partners,
investors and the Government of Zimbabwe, we are confident in our ability to unlock the energy potential of Cabora Bassa for the benefit of all stakeholders.
Furthermore, through our participation in AMOG, we aim to secure a position as one of Africa's leading players in the upstream sector, driving energy security, economic development and shareholder value.
We thank our shareholders for your continued belief in our vision. Your support has been instrumental in achieving what many thought impossible and together, we are shaping a new chapter for Invictus Energy.

Remunerakon Report (Audited)
LeGer kom the RemuneraĖon CommiGee
Dear Shareholders
We are pleased to present the Invictus Energy Limited (Invictus, or the Company) Remuneration Report (Report) for the Financial Year (FY) to 30 June 2025 (FY25).
FY25 Performance Highlights
To support the Company's near and long-term exploration and corporate strategies, the Board believes it's important to set KMP remuneration packages appropriately to ensure retention and attraction whilst ensuring affordability for the Company. The remuneration outcomes should reflect KMP's commitment, contributions to key achievements, and alignment with shareholder interests.
FY25 Remuneration Outcomes
In line with market peers of similar size and stage, the FY25 remuneration approach includes fixed pay and equity-based awards through a short-term performance rights plan (STI Rights) and a long-term premium-priced options plan (LTI Options). The Board believes these
equity-based incentives offer a cost-effective way to compensate KMP, enabling the company to allocate more cash reserves to operations compared to cash-based incentives. Below is a summary of the FY25 outcomes.
Fixed Remuneration (FR): there has been no change to the Managing Director (MD) fixed remuneration package.
STI: No Rights were issued to KMP members and other employees of the Company during the year ended 30 June 2025. No rights vested during the year ended 30 June 2025
LTI: a total of 35,000,000 unlisted options, were issued to Directors as a replacement retention and incentive options that lapsed during the year. These options were approved by shareholders at the 21 October 2024 shareholders meeting. The options have an exercise price of $0.105, and an expiry date of 13 November 2027. None of these options in the class vested during the year ended 30 June 2025
Non-Executive Director (NED) policy fees: to improve alignment with market peers, the NED fee pool was increased to $500,000 from
$400,000 (as approved at the 2023 annual general meeting). There has been no change to the NED fees paid to the NED's during FY25.
We are committed to transparency and an ongoing dialogue with shareholders on remuneration and we look forward to your ongoing feedback and continuing discussions with our shareholders on our remuneration approach.
Sincerely,
The Remuneration Committee

RemuneraĖon principles
In determining KMP remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are aligned with the following key principles:
Competitive and Reasonable: remuneration design and quantum are market competitive and appropriate for the results delivered, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent

Transparent: remuneration arrangements, decision making should be transparent and fair; and
Acceptable to shareholders: the form of award and remuneration outcomes are acceptable to shareholders, the creation of value for shareholders.

FY25 KMP remuneraĖon kamework
The KMP remuneration framework consists of two components: fixed remuneration and equity-based awards. The equity-based awards are delivered through a Short-Term Incentive (STI) program and a Long-Term Incentive (LTI) program.
The equity-based incentive awards recognise the Company's current stage of operations (pre-production, yet to generate revenue) whilst creating alignment between KMP remuneration and shareholder interest.
The following table provides an overview of the various elements for FY25

Note that during FY25, the Company undertook a review of fixed remuneration for KMP.
Notwithstanding recognition of some misalignment to market, no increases to fixed remuneration were made during the year with deferral of any such increases considered prudent by the Board at the time of the review.
KPIs are chosen to represent the key drivers of short-term success for the Company with reference to the Company' current business context and long-term strategy.
Exercise price for LTI options is set at a premium to the share price at grant (e.g., 145%) to align with shareholder interests over the long term.

Non-ExecuĖve Director (NED) remuneraĖon policy
At Invictus NED fees and payments to NEDs reflect the demands and responsibilities of their roles and are reviewed annually by the Board to ensure alignment with external market benchmarks and business needs.
NED fees are determined within an aggregate Directors' fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The fee pool maximum was increased to $500,000 from $400,000 per annum and the increase was approved by shareholders at the general meeting on 27 October 2023.
The base policy fee of NEDs is set at $60,000 per annum plus superannuation where applicable. There was no additional fee payable for being the member of or chairing any sub-committee, however in light of the additional complexity of the Company and the associated increased risks and work-flow, a small fee will be payable to the Committee Chairs during FY25.
From time to time, NEDs may be granted Options as part of the LTI to support retention and align NED remuneration with shareholder interests. Please refer to Section 9 Additional disclosure for further details regarding options granted during the year.
Section 7 Service agreements set out the FY25 fee arrangements for each NED. Section discloses actual total fees received by each NED during FY25.

Principal Ackvikes
The principal activities of the consolidated entity carried out during the financial year consisted of the exploration and appraisal of the Cabora Bassa Project.
- Business Risks
The Group's activities have inherent risks and the Board is unable to provide certainty of the expected results of activities, or that any or all of the likely activities will be achieved. The material business risks faced by the Group that could influence the Group's future prospects, and the Group manages these risks, are detailed below:
Exploration
Potential investors should understand that oil and gas exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of Invictus's projects, or any other permits that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic oil and gas resource or reserve. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.
The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its permits and obtaining all required approvals for its activities.
In the event that exploration programs prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of its permits, a reduction in the case reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of the permits. The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company's viability.
Potential acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies or assets that are complementary to its business, projects, blocks or prospects in Zimbabwe, or elsewhere in Africa or other parts of the world. Any such future transactions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies or assets, such as integrating cultures and systems of operation, relocation of operations, short term strain on working capital requirements, achieving mineral exploration success and retaining key staff.
Permit applications and license renewal
The Company expects that the applications for permit renewals or for any new permits will be granted following approval by the relevant Government of Zimbabwe regulatory authorities. However, the Company cannot guarantee that the current Special Grant 4571 permit that expires in June 2027 and/or Exclusive Prospecting Orders 1848 and 1849 that expire in September 2025 or any future permit applications will be granted.
4. Business Risks (CONTINUED)
Liquidity risks
There is no guarantee that there will be an ongoing liquid market for Securities. Accordingly, there is a risk that, should the market for Securities become illiquid, Shareholders will be unable to realise their investment in the Company.
Litigation
The Company may in the ordinary course of business become involved in litigation and disputes, for example with agents, contractors or third parties in respect of land access to its Tenements. Any such litigation or dispute could involve significant economic costs and
damage to relationships with agents, contractors and other stakeholders. Such outcomes may have an adverse impact on the Company's business, reputation and financial performance. As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not currently involved in any litigation or aware of any pending litigation.
Reliance on key personnel
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees ceases their employment with the Company.
Contractual disputes
The Company's business model is dependent in part on contractual agreements with third parties that have an interaction with the Company's target market. The Company is aware that there are associated risks when dealing with third parties including but not limited to insolvency, fraud and management failure. Should a third party contract fail, there is the potential for negative financial and brand damage for the Company.
Environmental
The Company will be subject to environmental laws and regulations with operations it may pursue in the oil and gas industry. The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws. However, the Company may be the subject of accidents or unforeseen circumstances that could subject the Company to extensive liability.
Further, the Company may require approval from the relevant authorities before it can undertake activities that are likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals may prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws and regulations would materially increase the Company's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.
Insurance
The Company seeks to maintain appropriate policies of insurance consistent with those customarily carried by organisations in their industry sector. Any increase in the cost of the insurance policies of the Company or the industry in which they operate could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and operational results. The Company's insurance coverage may also be inadequate to cover losses it sustains. Uninsured loss or a loss in excess of the Company's insured limits could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and operational results.
Sovereign risk
The Company's projects are located in Zimbabwe. Possible sovereign risks include, without limitation, changes in relevant legislation or government policy, changes to royalty arrangements, changes to taxation rates and concessions and changes in the ability to enforce legal rights. Further, no assurance can be given regarding the future stability in any country in which the Company has, or may have, an interest. Any of these factors may, in the future, adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.
Hydrocarbon Reserve Estimates
Hydrocarbon reserve estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience, interpretation and industry practice. Estimates that were valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available. In addition, reserve estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove inaccurate. Should the Company encounter oil and/or gas deposits or formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and similar examinations, then reserve estimates may have to be adjusted and production plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company's operations. Where possible, the Company will seek to have any such estimates verified or produced by an independent party with sufficient expertise in their chosen field.
Oil and natural gas exploration, production and related operations are subject to extensive rules and regulations promulgated by federal, state and local agencies. Failure to comply with such rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases the cost of doing business and affects profitability. Because such rules and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted, the Company is unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws. Permits are required in some of the areas in which the Company will operate following completion of the Proposed Transaction for drilling operations, drilling bonds and the filing of reports concerning operations and other requirements are imposed relating to the exploration and production of oil and gas. The Company will be required to comply with various federal and state regulations regarding plugging and abandonment of oil and natural gas wells, which will impose a substantial rehabilitation obligation on the Company, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial performance.
-
Business Risks (CONTINUED)
Drilling
Oil and gas drilling activities are subject to numerous risks, many of which are beyond the Company's control. The Company's drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled due to a number of factors including weather conditions, mechanical difficulties, shortage or delays in the availability or delivery of rigs and/or other equipment and compliance with governmental requirements. Hazards incident to the exploration and development of oil and gas properties such as unusual or unexpected formations, pressures or other factors are inherent in drilling and operating wells and may be encountered by the Company. Completion of a well does not assure a profit on the investment or recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs.
Farm in Partners and contractors
Oil and gas ventures are typically operated under a farm in and/or joint venture arrangements. These arrangements include provisions that often require certain decisions relating to the projects to be passed with unanimous or majority approval of all participants. Where a venture partner does not act in the best commercial interest of the project, it could have a material adverse effect on the interests of the Company.
The Company is unable to predict the risk of:
financial failure, non-compliance with obligations or default by a participant in any venture to which the Company is, or may become, a party; or
insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities; or
insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity,
all of which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and financial performance of the Company.
The Company is undertaking ongoing due diligence and internal approvals by additional parties which may result in farm in proposals to partner with the Company for its forward work program. However, as at the date of this report, the Company confirms no binding farm-in or farm-out agreements have been entered into.
Through its 80% owned subsidiary Geo Associates (Pvt) Ltd, it has entered into an assignment agreement with Sovereign Wealth fund of Zimbabwe (SWFZ) in respect to exploration rights to Exclusive Prospecting Orders 1848 and 1849, which are contiguous to the Company's current SG 4571 licence. The assignment from SWFZ expands the Company's area in the Cabora Bassa Basin. The assignment confers
all exploration rights and obligations for the two Prospecting Orders and a conversion to a Special Grant upon application following ga commercial discovery. The Company makes no guarantee of a discovery or that any discovery will be commercially feasible.
Economic & Political
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
Adverse changes in the general economic and political climate in Zimbabwe and on a global basis that could impact on economic growth, oil and gas prices, interest rates, the rate of inflation, taxation and tariff laws and domestic security, which may affect the viability of any oil and gas activity that may be conducted by the Company upon the Cabora Bassa Project.
Market conditions
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's quoted securities regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
general economic outlook;
introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;
interest rates and inflation rates;
changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
terrorism or other hostilities.
The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
-
Business Risks (CONTINUED)
Competition risk
The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's projects and business.
Oil and gas price fluctuations
The demand for, and price of, oil and natural gas is highly dependent on a variety of factors, including international supply and demand, the level of consumer product demand, weather conditions, the price and availability of alternative fuels, actions taken by governments and international cartels, and global economic and political developments.
International oil and gas prices have fluctuated widely in recent years and may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. Fluctuations in oil and gas prices and, in particular, a material decline in the price of oil or gas may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additional requirements for capital
The Company's capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company's ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Placement. Any additional equity
financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.
Additional funding may be sourced from one or a combination of equity, debt, industry farm-in, or other financing methods as determined on a case by case basis when those funds are needed. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its strategy, plans or operations.
-

-
Loss Per Share
The basic loss per share for the consolidated entity for the year was $0.30 per share (2024: $0.38 loss per share).
-

Al Mansour Holdings has also agreed to provide the Company with up to US$500 million of conditional future funding. Al Mansour Holdings will appoint one representative to the Board of Directors of the Company.
In parallel, Al Mansour Holdings and Invictus have established a joint venture ("JV") company, Al Mansour Oil & Gas ("AMOG"), an upstream oil and gas company focused on acquiring producing and near-term development oil and gas assets across key jurisdictions in Africa.
On 15 September 2025 the Company announced the EPO 1848 & 1849 licences had been renewed for a further 3 year term.
Other than the above, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations, results or state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.
-
Likely Developments and Expected Results of Operakons
The Company intends to develop its Cabora Bassa Basin Gas Condensate project in Zimbabwe which could be funded by debt, equity, a senior farm-in partner or a combination of each.
In addition, the Company intends to advance the Ngamo-Gwaai-Sikumi REDD+ (NGS REDD+) with a view to generating potential carbon offset credits that may be tradeable in the future on carbon offset credits trading exchange.
-
Environmental Regulakons
The company is not subject to the reporting requirements of either the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 or the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007. When operations commence in Zimbabwe, the Company will be subject to meeting the environmental laws and regulations.

Summary of Material Accounkng Policies
-
Basis of preparaĖon
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. Invictus Energy Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of the Invictus Energy Limited Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The Group has not elected to early adopt any new Standards or Interpretations.
All new and amended accounting standards mandatory as at 1 July 2024 have not had an impact on the financials. Refer to note 2 for further details.
Going concern
The going concern concept relates to the assessment of the Company's ability to continue its operations (and pay its debts when they fall due) for the next 12 months from the date when the directors sign the financial report without the need to raise money from issuing shares or other sources of funding. The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.
For the full year ended 30 June 2025 the Group incurred a loss after tax of $4,966,815 (2024: $5,318,445) and had total net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $12,101,547 (2024: $49,862,724).
The Directors have prepared an estimated cash flow forecast for the period to 31 October 2026 to determine if the Company may require additional funding during this period. The Group intends to continue with its operating activities at the Cabora Bassa Project and will incur related cash expenditure. This results in a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Directors have made an assessment on whether it is reasonable to assume that the Company will be able to continue its normal operations based on the following factors and judgements:
The Directors are of the opinion that the Group's exploration and development assets will attract further capital investment when required; and
The Directors expect the Group to be successful in securing additional funding through debt or equity issues, when and if required.
Should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements. The annual financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.
Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June.
All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the
underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
-
Foreign currency kanslaĖon
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("functional currency"). The functional currency of Invictus Energy Limited is Australian dollars ("A$", "$").
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company's presentation currency.
1. Summary of Material Accounkng Policies (CONTINUED)
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to Australian dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to A$ at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.
Financial statements of foreign operations
The revenues and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to Australian dollars at rates approximating to the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised directly in the foreign currency translation reserve ("FCTR"), as a separate component of equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the FCTR is transferred to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.
-
Impairment of assets
The carrying amounts of the Company's assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset's net selling price and its value in use. In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount and it is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss has been recognised. The reversal is recognised in the income statement.
-
Financial inskuments
Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs, except as described below. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.
A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group's contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e. the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group's obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 3.
Impairment
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or Group of financial assets is impaired.
-
Goods and Services Tax / Value Added Tax
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax ("GST") or Value Added Tax ("VAT"), except where the amount of GST/VAT incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST/VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST/VAT included. The net amount of GST/VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the relevant tax authority is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST/VAT components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the relevant tax authority are classified as operating cash flows.
- Summary of Material Accounkng Policies (CONTINUED)
-
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses and other salary related expenses are recognised as expenses in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Company. Short-term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are
recognised when services rendered by employees, that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences, occur. Short-term accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when absences occur.
Defined contribution plans
Employee benefits include statutory social insurance payments to the State Social Insurance Scheme. Contributions to this defined contribution plan are recognised as an expense as incurred.
Share-based payments
-
Basis of preparaĖon
The Company provides benefits to employees (including Directors) of the Company in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or options over shares ("equity-settled transactions").
The fair value of options is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based payments reserve). The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the holder become unconditionally entitled to the options. Fair value is determined using an appropriate valuation method. In determining fair value, no account is taken of any performance conditions other than those related to the share price of Invictus Energy Limited ("market conditions"). The cumulative expense recognised between grant date and vesting date is adjusted to reflect the Directors best estimate of the number of options that will ultimately vest because of internal conditions of the options, such as the employees having to remain with the Company until the vesting date, or such that employees are required to meet internal performance targets.
-
New and Amended Standards not yet adopted by the Group
The Directors have also reviewed AASB 2024-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments and AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which are on issue not yet adopted for the
year ended 30 June 2025. As a result of this review, the directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretation on issue not yet adopted on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to the Group's accounting policies.
- Financial Risk Management
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed.
Risk management is carried out by the management under policies approved by the board of Directors. Group management identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks by holding cash in interest earning deposits.
The Group holds the following financial instruments:
