Powerhaus Uranium entered the ASX with a $2.14 million annual loss, $1.51 million operating cash outflow and net liabilities at 30 June 2026. A subsequent $9 million IPO and the Hidden Bay acquisition have given the early-stage explorer a larger exploration runway, but drilling remains subject to approvals and future funding will still matter.

Stealth Group has confirmed a $1.24940 Dividend Reinvestment Plan price for its fully franked 1.5-cent annual dividend. Shareholders choosing cash will be paid on 30 September, while reinvestment shares are scheduled for issue on 7 October.

Famien Resources has used the year to pivot decisively from Australian exploration towards a 3,700km² gold portfolio in Côte d’Ivoire, backed by A$15.2 million in placements and A$13.1 million in cash. Early drilling has produced several high-grade intercepts, but the company remains loss-making and has yet to declare a mineral resource.

OFX says it remains in active discussions with Equals over a proposed all-cash acquisition after ASX questioned a sharp fall in its share price and a surge in trading volume. The parties are negotiating a possible extension to exclusivity, but no agreement has been reached.

WAM Capital’s investment portfolio fell 10.5% in FY2026, while Wilson Asset Management set an 8.0 cents per share target for the next financial year. The presentation points to a thin 0.7-year dividend reserve after the final payout, even as management argues small-cap valuations and takeover activity are improving.

WAM Capital reported a 10.5% decline in investment portfolio performance for FY2026, but retained its full-year dividend at 15.5 cents per share. The listed investment company is targeting an 8.0-cent dividend for FY2027, backed by a profits reserve of 5.7 cents per share after the latest payout.

Great Southern Mining finished FY2026 with A$4.76 million in cash after selling Southern Star to Regis Resources and raising A$4.63 million, while drilling extended gold mineralisation at several Western Australian projects. The exploration story is advancing, but the annual report also contains an apparent inconsistency in the reported annual profit that warrants clarification.

Katana Capital Limited (ASX:KAT) delivered a 17.98% gross investment return in FY2026, beating the All Ordinaries by 15.55 percentage points as its portfolio benefited from defence, infrastructure, resources and technology exposures. Net profit rose to $3.808 million, while the listed investment company entered FY2027 with elevated cash and a deliberately cautious stance on banks.

Image Resources has secured a A$5 million cash advance from LB Group while negotiating a broader deal that could bring further funding and mineral sands processing equipment into its Durack and Yandanooka projects. The advance comes without issuing new shares, but the larger transaction remains unresolved.

PainChek grew recurring revenue, implemented licences and customer sites in FY2026, but its $8.94 million loss and $9.24 million operating cash outflow prompted an explicit going-concern warning from its auditor. The company is now betting that US deployments and a sharper commercial focus can convert market access into cash-generating growth.

Frontier Digital Ventures has shrunk its top line by 27% as it exits low-margin businesses, but the reset delivered higher EBITDA, a 17% margin and near-total free cash flow conversion in the first half of FY2026. The next test is whether pricing and cost discipline can lift earnings without further customer erosion.

Dimerix has drawn A$17 million from a non-dilutive facility, giving the biotech funding it says is sufficient to complete the ACTION3 Phase 3 trial of DMX-200 and continue developing DMX-652. A further A$17 million remains available, although repayment depends partly on future licensing income, milestones or capital-market access.
