| NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| 1. | SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Statement of compliance
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The Directors have assessed the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date of this report and consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the half year financial statements.
The condensed consolidated financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Group as in the full financial report.
It is recommended that this interim financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 and any public announcements made by European Lithium Limited and its subsidiaries during the half-year.
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments to fair value. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
For the purpose of preparing the interim financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.
Adoption of new and revised standards
Standards and Interpretations applicable to 31 December 2025
In the half-year ended 31 December 2025, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the interim reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2025. As a result of this review, the Directors have applied all new and amended Standards and Interpretations that were effective as at 1 July 2025 with no material impact on the amounts or disclosures included in the financial report.
Accounting policies and methods of computation
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding half-year with the exception of the below. These accounting policies are consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.
Accounting policy Cash, cash equivalents and term deposits carried at amortised costs
Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
Term deposits carried at amortised cost in the statement of financial position comprise long-term deposits with a maturity of more than three months.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and Term deposits carried at amortised cost as defined above.
Significant accounting judgments and key estimates
The preparation of the interim financial report requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this interim financial report, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report for the year ended 30 June 2025.
| INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT DECEMBER 2025 AND 2024 | Page 7 |
| NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| 2. | SEGMENT REPORTING |
IFRS 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. In the case of the Group the CODM are the executive management team and all information reported to the CODM is based on the consolidated results of the Group as one operating segment, as the Group’s activities relate to mineral exploration.
As at 31 December 2025, the Group has only one reportable segment and the results are the same as the Group results.

The Group calculates the period income tax expense using the best estimate of the tax rate that would be applicable to the expected total annual earnings. The major components of income tax expense in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss are:

The deferred tax liability balance of $39,959,803 arises in relation to EUR’s equity accounted investment in CRML. As a result of the deconsolidation of CRML the accounting carrying value was remeasured to fair value whilst the tax base was not remeasured. This gave rise to recognition of a temporary difference and consequent deferred tax liability.

| (i) | On 11 May 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into a Collaboration Agreement with EV Resources Limited (formerly Jadar Resources Limited) (ASX: EVR) (EVR) and an agreement to acquire a 20% interest in Jadar’s Austrian Lithium assets from their JV partner (Jadar Acquisition). EVR holds an 80% interest in the Austrian incorporated subsidiary EV Resources GmbH (previously Jadar Lithium GmbH), the holder of the Weinebene and Eastern Alps Projects which lies 20km to the east of the Company’s Wolfsberg Project. On 29 February 2024 in accordance with the terms of the merger Transaction, the 20% interest in EV Resources GmbH was transferred from the Company to CRML. During the period the Company no longer equity accounts for EVR in line with the deconsolidation of CRML. |
| (ii) | The Company holds a 50% interest in the Australian incorporated entity John Wally Resources Pty Ltd (John Wally). This investment is equity accounted given the significant influence the Company has on John Wally through Mr Sage’s role on the board and the interchange of management personnel. |
| (iii) | On 11 October 2025, the Company has no power to govern the financial and operating policies of CRML due to loss of majority control. Accordingly, the Company’s investment was reclassified to an investment accounted for using the equity method on that date (note 22). |
| (iv) | As a result of CRML owning 42.005% in the Tanbreez Project at 31 December 2025, and the loss of majority control in CRML during the period, the Company’s investment in Tanbreez Mining Greenland A/S was reclassified to an investment accounted for using the equity method. |

| d) | Impairment assessment |
The carrying amount of the investments in associates was assessed for impairment at 31 December 2025. As at 31 December 2025, the fair value of the shares held by EUR in CRML was $550,761,132 based on the CRML share price at this date. Subsequent to the year end on 23 January 2026, the CRML share price increased to US$20.74 per share, resulting in the fair value of the shared held by EUR in CRML being $1,645,934,566 as at this date. EUR’s directors and management have assessed that because CRML is not experiencing financial difficultly, CRML’s exploration and evaluation projects and investment in the Tanbreez project is progressing favorably, and CRML’s share price experiences significant volatility and the fall in CRML’s share price at 31 December 2025 reversed in January 2026, it is not appropriate to impair EUR’s investment in CRML at 31 December 2025.
