Reedy Lagoon is relying on shareholder approval for a $1.8 million underwritten placement after ending the year with $44,416 in cash and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The recapitalisation would fund exploration, but comes with substantial dilution and a staged repayment of related-party debt.

Hawthorn Resources reported a wider Australian-dollar loss for FY2026, with revenue falling sharply and cash declining by $1.53 million. The company is directing its remaining balance sheet toward exploration at the Trouser Legs gold joint venture and Mount Bevan’s other minerals project.

Desane Group Holdings reported a sharp FY26 profit decline as lower property revaluation gains and higher finance costs overwhelmed largely stable rental income. The ASX-listed property group enters FY27 with more cash, conservative gearing and two developments that now need to convert asset value into earnings.

Kogan.com (ASX:KGN) crossed $1 billion in annual gross sales as stronger margins, cash generation and a Mighty Ape reset lifted FY26 results. The group returned to statutory profit, ended debt-free and declared another fully franked dividend.

Arena REIT delivered higher earnings, distributions and asset values in FY2026, but the failure of a major childcare tenant has forced a sharp reset in its near-term outlook. Edge Early Learning accounts for about 14% of rental income and is now in voluntary administration after missing rent.

LDR Capital Property Fund plans to retire $81.6 million of debt after asset sales, targeting a sharp reduction in gearing while it reshapes the portfolio. Investors will receive no distributions for the first two FY27 quarters, with payments deferred until March and June 2027.

Zimplats delivered a sharp FY2026 earnings rebound, with revenue up 57% and profit after tax rising to US$276.7 million. The result was driven mainly by stronger PGM prices, while lower sales volumes, higher unit costs, no dividend and rising sulphur dioxide emissions temper the celebration.

Marlin Global’s portfolio fell 6.3% before fees and tax in FY26 while its benchmark gained 30.5%, producing a NZ$17.3 million net loss. The Fisher Funds-managed vehicle is responding with broader sector coverage, faster portfolio turnover and an expanded research team.

Talisman Mining’s Sheepyard prospect has emerged as the company’s clearest exploration opportunity after drilling outlined shallow gold mineralisation across an unconstrained 800-metre strike. But the annual report also shows a shrinking royalty income stream, a $2.705 million loss and fresh reliance on equity funding.

Sonic Healthcare delivered a strong FY2026, with underlying net profit up 17% to A$621 million and dividends rising to A$1.08 per share. The next test is whether US efficiencies, LADR synergies and organic growth can offset Swiss fee cuts, a delayed UK contract ramp-up and heavier investment demands.

PaySauce has moved its Global Payroll Platform from development into commercial operation in Australia, while first-quarter FY27 ARR rose 8% to $9.5 million. The expansion is supported by a stronger cash position, but higher customer acquisition costs and lower profitability leave execution firmly in focus.

Core Lithium has moved Finniss from care and maintenance back into active mining, with first spodumene concentrate produced after year end and a December-quarter shipment targeted. The restart leaves the company with A$181.8 million in cash, but also a substantial execution task ahead as Grants ramps up and BP33 is developed.
