Financing and cash position
June–September 2026 · issuer reported · medium materiality
IG6’s 2026 annual report records an A$2.05m June working-capital deficit including A$1.85m in unearned government grants, and a subsequent August placement of about A$2.35m before costs. The September 2026 quarterly reports A$3.352m cash at quarter end.

Individual contribution to employer outcomes and concurrent board interests require additional source-level verification.
