Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Guardforce AI Co., Limited ("Guardforce”) is a company that was incorporated, and is domiciled, in the Cayman Islands under the Cayman Islands Companies Act on April 20, 2018. The Company’s ordinary shares and warrants are listed under the symbol "GFAI” and "GFAIW”, respectively, on the Nasdaq Capital Market upon the completion of an initial public offering on September 28, 2021.

   

The following diagram illustrates the Company’s legal entity ownership structure as of June 30, 2025: 

 

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

2.1 Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS”) 34, "Interim Financial Reporting”. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB”). The accounting policies applied for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are consistent with those of the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, as described in those audited consolidated financial statements. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2025.

 

All amounts are presented in United States dollars ("USD”) and have been rounded to the nearest USD.

Going Concern basis

 

As of June 30, 2025, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $66.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $2.2 million and net operating cash outflow of $1.0 million. The principal sources of funding have historically been cash contributions from equity and debt financings. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued 2.6 million Ordinary Shares pursuant to the 2024 at the market offering (the "ATM offering”) for gross proceeds of $3.7 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $23.5 million. Taking this into consideration, the Company believes it will have sufficient available financial resources to meet its obligations and working capital requirements for at least in the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, the Company considers that it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial information on a going concern basis.

 

2.2 Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive loss, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Company for the relevant periods include the results and cash flows of all companies now comprising the Company from the earliest date presented or since the date when the subsidiaries and/or businesses first came under the common control of the controlling shareholders, wherever the period is shorter.

 

The interim condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2025 has been prepared to present the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries under the historical cost convention.

 

Equity interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the controlling shareholders are presented as non-controlling interests in equity.

 

All intra-group and inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

2.3 Critical accounting estimate and judgements

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

In preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

On September 23, 2025, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the audit committee and board of directors.

2.4 Foreign currency translation

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in USD, which is the reporting currency. The functional currency of significant subsidiaries are as follows, the subsidiaries located in Thailand is Thai Baht ("Baht” or "THB”), the functional currency of subsidiaries located in Hong Kong is Hong Kong dollar ("HKD”) and the functional currency of subsidiaries located in mainland China is Chinese Renminbi ("RMB”). 

 

The currency exchange rates and the entities that significantly impact our business are shown in the following table:

 

   Period End Rate   Average Rate 
   June 30,   December 31,   For the six months ended
June 30,
 
   2025   2024   2025   2024

Chinese Renminbi   0.1396    0.1370    0.1382    0.1386 

 

2.5 New and amended accounting standards

 

All new standards and amendments that are effective for annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2025 have been applied by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The adoption of these new and amended standards did not have material impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. A number of new standards and amendments to standards have not come into effect for the year beginning January 1, 2025, and they have not been early adopted by the Company in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. None of these new standards and amendments to standards is expected to have a significant effect on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

2.6 Other financial assets at amortized cost

 

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in "other gains/(losses)” together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

AI&Robotics Solution Business

 

Our AI&Robotics Solutions business was established in 2020 as part of our revenue diversification efforts. Currently, we offer Robotic solutions with AI integration and we are developing web-based AI solutions to help with personalized decision making.

 

Technology Infrastructure

 

The Guardforce AI Intelligent Cloud Platform (GFAI ICP) forms a foundation of our AI&Robotics Solution since the launch in 2021. In 2022, we partnered with Shenzhen Kewei to enhance GFAI ICP, upgrading it to GFAI ICP 2.0 and introducing advertising capabilities that supported the launch of the AIoT Robot Advertising business in Macau. This upgrade also included a mobile-app, enabling customers to directly manage and place advertisements through their phones. During the same year, we launched the Tech Service Platform (TS) and Robot Operation Management Platform (ROMP) to improve the management of robot functionalities and address operational issues.

 

In 2023, we expanded our operations in mainland China by acquiring the Cloud Technology Platform (CTP) from Shenzhen Kewei. Building on this momentum, in 2024, we launched GFAI ICP 3.0, integrating more large language models and an AI Agent system. This version also incorporated CTP under the framework of GFAI ICP 3.0 by reorganizing the ICP function sections for enhanced efficiency and scalability.

 

By the date of the report, GFAI ICP now provides functionalities including but not limited to, robotic management, robot advertising, AI integration (including large language models such as Google Gemini, ChatGPT etc.), API integration, robot advertising, data processing and AI agent analysis.

Web-based AI solution

 

Building on our robust robotic solutions, started in early 2024, we have been investing in the development of sophisticated web-based AI solutions focused on solving specific problems in travel planning, especially providing personalized trip planning. This strategic initiative represents a natural evolution of our technology stack, addressing the growing consumer demand for customized travel experiences.

 

This web-based AI solution leverages an advanced AI Agent system built on GFAI ICP 3.0 and large language model (LLM) technology. This system is designed to handle complex tasks, including understanding customer travel requests, identifying and verifying various travel spots (such as restaurants and scenic spots), delivering personalized trip recommendations, and quickly forming a well-crafted customized trip agenda that is adjustable to customer requests. Currently in the development phase, we plan to launch this solution in regions beyond the Asia Pacific in the near future. To support this effort, we have also established a dedicated R&D team committed to continuous platform enhancements, ensuring that GFAI ICP 3.0 remains the foundation for our next generation of AI-driven solutions.

 

In 2024, we further established a strategic partnership with Librum Technologies, Inc., a Boston-based company comprised of professors and researchers in the AI field. This collaboration aims to fine-tune our AI agent system, further enhancing its capabilities to meet the evolving needs of travelers. By combining our technological expertise with Librum’s research prowess, we are well-positioned to deliver innovative, personalized travel solutions that exceed customer expectations.

 

In April 2025, we launched the beta version of the web-based AI solution, DeepVoyage Go (DVGO) and made it officially available to all in May 2025. This is our first AI agent implementation in the travel industry, aiming at helping travelers and travel advisors with personalized trip planning.

Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024

 

Revenue.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our revenue was $18,207,186, an increase of $640,342, or 3.6%, compared to $17,566,844 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The growth was driven primarily by the Secured Logistics business, and partially offset by the decline in the General Security Solutions business.

 

  (i)

Revenue from the Secured Logistics business increased by $1,298,591, or 8.2%, to $17,060,535 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $15,761,944 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was largely attributable to favorable foreign currency translation, as the average THB to USD exchange rate appreciated by approximately 8.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 at 0.0299, compared to 0.0275 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. In local currency terms, Secured Logistics revenue decreased slightly by THB3.5 million or 0.6%, compared to the corresponding period in 2024. This decrease was attributable to lower volumes in traditional Cash-in-Transit (CIT) and ATM servicing business with banking customers, reflecting structural shifts in cash usage patterns, reduced physical bank branch presence, and lower demand for ATM services.

 

This slight local-currency decline reflects a significant shift in business mix. Since commencing our transformation strategy in 2022, we have prioritized developing our retail client base, particularly in the Guardforce Digital Machine (GDM), CIT-Non DV, and Cash Processing (CPC) service lines. This focus has delivered strong results, GDM revenue increased by $334,259, or 18.1%, from $1,842,026 in the interim period 2024 to $2,176,285 in the interim period 2025. Similarly, CPC revenue increased by $422,841, or 24.7%, from $1,710,792 in interim period 2024, to $2,133,633 in interim period 2025.

     
  (ii) The revenue from General Security Solutions business which is operated by our Beijing Wanjia subsidiary decreased by $634,577, or 37.9%. The decrease was primarily attributable to certain key clients strategically deferring their expansion plans to the second half of the year. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, revenue derived from our General Security Solutions segment was $1,039,181 and $1,673,758, respectively.

 

Cost of sales.

 

Cost of revenue consists primarily of labor cost and related benefits, and other overhead costs that are directly attributable to services provided.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our cost of revenue was $15,252,223, an increase of $925,129, or 6.5%, compared to $14,327,094 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of revenue as a percentage of our revenues increased from 81.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to 83.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in costs is mainly attributable to the continued rise in labor expenses and related employee benefits driven by inflation.

 

Gross profit.

 

Gross profit decreased by $284,787, or 8.8%, from $3,239,750 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $2,954,963 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to the increase in costs outpacing the growth in revenue during this interim period.

 

Stock-based compensation expenses.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded stock-based compensation expenses of $149,595, primarily related to 120,000 shares granted on December 17, 2024 to independent directors for their 2025 service, and 151,256 shares issued on March 31, 2025, to an external marketing agent for its services provided.

 

(Provision for) Recovery of withholding tax receivable.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a provision for withholding tax receivable of $40,984 and recovery of withholding tax receivable of $32,980 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates the collectability of the withholding taxes receivable balance to write-off any difference between the receivable recorded and the amount of refund actually received from the Thai Revenue Department and to estimate and record the provision for withholding taxes receivable based on the amount historically refunded.

Provision for expected credit loss on trade and other receivables.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded provision for expected credit loss on trade and other receivables amounting to $15,986 and $184,180, respectively. As each reporting period, we estimated the potential credit losses through a comprehensive assessment of credit risk, probability of default and scenario analysis and recorded a provision or recovery to reflect the true value of our receivables on the financial statements.

 

Impairment loss on goodwill.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we did not recognize any impairment losses of goodwill. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $30,467 of impairment loss on goodwill. The amount of the impairment losses recognized reflects the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its estimated recoverable amount.

 

Research & Development expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our research & development expenses were $522,503, an increase of $415,668, or 389.1%, compared to $106,835 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is primarily driven by our investments in R&D and the continuous platform enhancements for our AI&Robotics Solutions.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

The Company’s total selling, general and administrative expenses (“SGA” expenses) are comprised of staff expense, professional fees, depreciation and amortization expense, rental expense, travelling and entertainment expense, and other service expense.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our total SGA expenses were $4,706,656, a meaningful decrease of $153,799, or 3.2%, compared to $4,860,455 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was mainly driven by the decrease in staff expenses and travelling and entertainment expense which resulting from the reduction of existing management team and sales headcount. Our SGA expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily consisted of (i) staff expense of $2,722,106, representing 57.8% of our total SGA expenses, (ii) professional fees of $569,064, representing 12.1% of our total SGA expenses, and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense of $501,330, representing 10.7% of our total SGA expenses.

Other income, net.

 

Other income, net is comprised mainly of miscellaneous income and gain or loss from disposal of fixed assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, other income was $70,548 and $50,881, respectively. 

 

Finance income, net.

 

Finance income, net are comprised of short-term fixed deposits with banks offset with finance charges for leases and interest expense on interest-bearing bank borrowings.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, finance income, net was $250,334, an increase of $70,407, or 39.1%, as compared to $179,927 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was mainly due to higher interest income from short-term fixed deposits with banks and offset by the reduced interest expense from interest-bearing bank borrowings.

 

Provision for income tax (expense) benefit.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our income tax expense was $48,177, as compared to income tax benefit of $22,949 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the interim period 2025, we recognized an income tax expense related to the temporary difference on our deferred tax assets arising from our Secured Logistics business. We operate in different countries that we file separate tax returns in. The tax returns in these countries are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.

 

Net loss for the period from continuing operations.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our net loss for the period from continuing operations was $2,227,122, an increase of $349,976, or 18.6%, as compared to net loss for the period from continuing operations of $1,877,146 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This was mainly due to the sustained investment in research & development expenses and the decline in gross profit.

 

Although we still incurred a net loss for the interim period 2025, we expect to see a positive trend in our future results.

 

Net gain from discontinued operations

 

We completed the separation with Handshake on February 6, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the net profit was $nil and $38,719, respectively. The divestiture with Handshake did not materially affect our liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations through the separation date.

Net loss attributable to equity holders of the Company.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, our net losses attributable to equity holders of the Company were $2,236,077 and $1,847,594, respectively.

 

Inflation.

 

Our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025, were negatively affected by the recent inflationary cost pressures. The higher overhead costs and higher wage rates impact the profitability of our business. We will develop operational strategies to mitigate the inflation which involve a combination of cost-cutting measures and adjustments to pricing.

 

Foreign Currency Fluctuations.

 

Our activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Our overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on our financial performance.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates.

 

Our Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

See “Critical Accounting Estimates” in our Item 5 “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects - E. Critical Accounting Estimates” within the fiscal 2024 Annual Report for detailed information.

 

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

To supplement our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, we use the non-IFRS adjusted EBITDA as financial measures for our consolidated results.

 

We believe that adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in loss from operations and net loss. We believe that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. We present the non-IFRS financial measures in order to provide more information and greater transparency to investors about our operating results.

 

EBITDA represents net loss before (i) finance income, net, provision for income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and intangible assets, which we do not believe are reflective of our core operating performance during the periods presented.

 

7

 

 

Non-IFRS adjusted EBITDA represents net loss from continuing operations before(i) finance income, net, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and intangible assets, (ii) certain non-cash expenses, consisting of stock-based compensation expenses, provision for expected credit loss on trade receivables and other receivables, impairment loss on goodwill, (recovery of) provision for withholding tax receivables, and foreign exchange losses, net.

 

Non-IFRS loss per share represents non-IFRS net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods.

 

Non-IFRS diluted loss per share represents non-IFRS net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods on a diluted basis.

 

The table below is a reconciliation of our net loss from continuing operations to EBITDA and non-IFRS adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the periods indicated:

 

   For the six months ended
June 30,
 
   2025   2024 
Net loss from continuing operations - IFRS  $(2,227,122)  $(1,877,146)
Finance income, net   (250,334)   (179,507)
Provision for income tax expense (benefit)   48,177    (22,949)
Depreciation and amortization expense of fixed and intangible assets   1,700,784    1,556,922 
EBITDA   (728,495)   (522,680)
Stock-based compensation expenses   149,595    172,655 
(Recovery of) provision for withholding taxes receivable   40,984    (32,980)
Provision for expected credit loss on trade and other receivables   15,986    184,180 
Impairment loss on goodwill   -    30,467 
Foreign exchange losses, net   19,066    49,041 
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-IFRS)  $(502,864)  $(119,317)
           
Non-IFRS loss per share          
Earnings Loss per share attributable to equity holders of the Company          
Basic and diluted  $(0.03)  $(0.01)
           
Weighted average number of shares used in computation:          
Basic and diluted   19,996,747    9,991,600 

 

We recorded non-IFRS adjusted EBITDA of negative $0.5 million and negative $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The widened loss was primarily attributable to a sustained investment in research & development expenses and a decline in gross profit. We are committed to improving our financial performance to achieve long-term financial stability.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal sources of liquidity and capital resources have been, and are expected to continue to be, cash flow from operations, bank borrowings and issuances of ordinary shares. Our principal uses of cash have been, and we expect will continue to be, for working capital to support a reasonable increase in our scale of operations as well as for business expansion investments.

 

As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $23.5 million and $14.0 million, respectively.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

To supplement our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, we use the non-IFRS adjusted EBITDA as financial measures for our consolidated results.

 

We believe that adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in income (loss) from operations and net income (loss). We believe that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. We present the non-IFRS financial measures in order to provide more information and greater transparency to investors about our operating results.

 

EBITDA represents net (loss) income before (i) finance costs, income tax benefit and depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets, which we do not believe are reflective of our core operating performance during the periods presented.

 

Non-IFRS adjusted EBITDA represents net (loss) income before (i) finance costs, income tax benefit and depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets, (ii) certain non-cash expenses, consisting of stock-based compensation expense, allowance for and write off of withholding tax receivables, provision for obsolete inventory and impairment loss on fixed assets.

 

Non-IFRS (loss) earnings per share represents non-IFRS net (loss) income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods.

 

Non-IFRS diluted earnings per share represents non-IFRS net (loss) income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods on a diluted basis.

 

The table below is a reconciliation of our net loss to EBITDA and non-IFRS adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated:
