FBR Limited Quarterly Report | June 2026
Friday, 31 July 2026 – Robotic technology company FBR Limited (ASX:FBR) (‘FBR’ or ‘Company’) provides its
quarterly update for the period ended 30 June 2026.
Business Activities Update
Mantis Commissioning
During the quarter, FBR began assembling and commissioning its first Mantis™ welding robot. The first Mantis™
has been pre-sold to State Machinery & Equipment Sales in Louisiana, United States, with delivery expected
in the second half of the 2026 calendar year.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, FBR appointed Industrial Robotics LLC, an entity established by the
founder of State Machinery, as non-exclusive distributor of Mantis™ in United States and Canada.
Industrial Robotics will market, promote and sell Mantis™ robots in the United States and Canada on a
nonexclusive basis, maintaining an appropriate local inventory for customer demonstrations. Industrial
Robotics will also distribute spare parts and wear parts across the 48 contiguous states of the United States
for Mantis™, Hadrian™ and Firehawk™.
As part of the agreement, Industrial Robotics will also assume full operational responsibility for operator
training, mechanical maintenance, installation and customer satisfaction across the United States and
Canada.
Industrial Robotics’ initial focus will be on the Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida Panhandle and Eastern
Texas markets, where State Machinery is well established as a market leader in construction equipment. The
Agreement carries an initial term of five years, with rolling automatic renewals unless terminated by either
party with appropriate notice.
The agreement establishes a clear path to entry into the North American industrial fabrication and shipbuilding
sectors for FBR, and validates the early commercial demand for the Mantis™ welding robot.
Hadrian Update
The Hadrian® unit that was temporarily deployed to the United States, H03, will arrive back in Fremantle
imminently. Once back in FBR’s possession it will be recommissioned to make it available for Wall as a
Service® work in Western Australia.
Hadrian unit H04 has recently completed activities for road registration, with a view to deploying to sites in WA
for Wall as a Service® builds. The saw module for H04 has been completed and will be incorporated into the
truck in line with the requirements of its contract bricklaying pipeline. The saw module enables Hadrian to
build a wide variety of structure designs without the need for manual intervention.
Corporate and Finance
During the quarter, FBR announced a General Meeting to complete a consolidation of capital and to ratify prior
issues of securities. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the General Meeting was held and all resolutions
passed.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter FBR announced that it had entered into a loan agreement with Director
Lindsay Partridge to provide $300,000 in non-dilutive funding to the Company. The loan is secured against
specific non-core plant and equipment assets of the Company with an aggregate value approximate to the
principal amount, bears an interest rate of 2.5% per week payable in cash monthly in arrears and a repayment
date of 30 September 2026, or such later date as the Company and the lender agree.

tranches of $450,000 with SBC Global Investment Fund. The agreement provides funding of up to $3.87 million

During the quarter, the Company paid suppliers and employees to perform the activities as described under
the Business Activities Update, with a focus on its Mantis™ welding robot as well as its Hadrian units.
The Company paid related party transactions of $108,000 during the quarter, comprising salaries and fees to
its Board of Directors (including the CEO).
CEO Comment
FBR CEO Mark Pivac said: "During the quarter we made excellent progress on Mantis™ and we are excited to
be so close to demonstration time. Our next milestone for Mantis™ is Factory Acceptance Testing, and once
we’ve completed that we will conduct some demonstrations for the potential customers we have been talking
to about Mantis™ since its launch.
Appointing Industrial Robotics to be a distributor of Mantis™ in the United States and Canada is a significant
step towards a de-risked market entry for Mantis™, and we are looking forward to working with Ed Renton and
the Industrial Robotics team to introduce Mantis™ into the American and Canadian markets, where we see a
massive opportunity.
We are continuing to work on our Hadrian® pipeline here in Australia, and we look forward to providing some
further updates about our next projects soon.“
