How money raised was used

Reported for the quarter to Dec 2025. The company's results filing for the quarter to Jun 2026 says no statement of how money raised was used applies to it. A warrant or partly paid issue plans the whole issue while the money comes in over time, so the amount set aside can be more than raised so far.
