STRONG HALF YEAR RESULT FROM FISHER & PAYKEL HEALTHCARE: RECORD NET

PROFIT OF NZ$81.3 MILLION


Auckland, New Zealand, 21 November 2017 - Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited

today announced its results for the half year ended 30 September 2017. Net profit after tax was

NZ$81.3 million, up 4% from the prior comparable period. Operating revenue was NZ$458.4

million, 8% above the first half last year.


“Our first half results are in line with our expectations and reflect consistent momentum across both

our product groups,” said Managing Director and CEO, Lewis Gradon.


Operating revenue for the Hospital product group, which includes products used in respiratory,

acute and surgical care, was up 11% to a record NZ$262.5 million. Much of this growth was driven

by the increasing adoption of Optiflow nasal high flow therapy. Products in the Hospital group now

make up 57% of the company’s operating revenue.


“Take up of our Optiflow nasal high flow therapy globally continues to be very encouraging, with

growth rates in the mid-20s percent range. This has been driven by the publication of more and

more clinical studies showing the benefit to patients and hospitals that comes from using our

Optiflow nasal high flow therapy,” said Mr Gradon.


The Homecare product group performed well, with operating revenue up 4% to NZ$191.3 million.

This group includes products used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and respiratory

support in the home. The company’s obstructive sleep apnea masks (OSA) continued to perform

well in particular, delivering 8% growth in constant currency.


“We have been very pleased with the response to our Brevida nasal pillows mask for treating OSA

patients,” said Mr Gradon. “This mask has been available in the US since March this year and it

was recognised with an HME Business New Product Award at the recent MedTrade tradeshow in

Atlanta.”


Gross margin increased by 116 basis points to 66%, or a 47 basis points increase in constant

currency, compared to the first half last year, primarily due to favourable product mix and increased

production in Mexico. “Construction of our new manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico is about to

commence and we anticipate that the new facility will be operational in mid-2018. 35% of our

manufacturing output now comes from Mexico, with the remainder coming from our New Zealand

manufacturing facilities.”


The company’s investment in R&D increased, with expenses growing by 13% to NZ$47 million,

representing 10% of operating revenue. “During the first half we began the introduction of a number

of innovative new products, notably our SleepStyle continuous positive airway pressure device for

patients with OSA, and Optiflow Junior 2 cannula for treating infants in respiratory distress.”


The company’s directors have approved an increased interim dividend of 8.75 NZ cents per

ordinary share, an increase of 6% on the interim dividend last year. The interim dividend, carrying

full New Zealand imputation credit, will be paid on 20 December 2017 with a record date of 6

December 2017. The dividend reinvestment plan, under which eligible shareholders can elect to

reinvest all or part of their cash dividends in additional shares, will again be made available in

respect of the 2018 interim dividend. The directors have determined that the DRP will be offered

without a discount for the 2018 interim dividend payment.


“In the first half we absorbed additional patent litigation costs of NZ$9.8 million compared to the first

half last year. Excluding the impact of these costs, growth in first half net profit after tax would have

been 13%. An update on the status of the patent litigation is included in our interim report. We

remain confident in our position and overall are satisfied with results to date.


Outlook for FY2018


”It is clear that we have large and diverse opportunities available in the short, medium

and long-term. We have a number of new products that will be released over the next few years

and intend that these products, along with our consistent growth strategy, will support sustainable

and profitable growth over the long-term.


“At current exchange rates we expect full year operating revenue for the 2018 financial year to be

approaching NZ$1 billion and net profit after tax to be approximately NZ$185 to NZ$190 million,”

concluded Mr Gradon.


Result highlights for the first half

• 4% growth in net profit after tax to a record NZ$81.3 million.

• 6% increase in interim dividend to 8.75 cps (2017: 8.25 cps).

• 8% growth in operating revenue to a record NZ$458.4 million, 8% growth in constant currency.

• 11% growth in Hospital operating revenue, 12% growth in constant currency.

• 19% constant currency revenue growth for consumables used in non-invasive ventilation,

Optiflow and surgical applications, accounting for 55% of Hospital consumables revenue.

• 4% growth in Homecare operating revenue, 5% growth in constant currency.

• 8% revenue growth in constant currency in OSA masks.

• Investment in R&D increased by 13% to NZ$47 million, representing 10% of operating revenue.

What we do

We design, manufacture and market products

and systems for use in respiratory care, acute

care, surgery and the treatment of obstructive

sleep apnea.

Our medical devices and technologies are

designed to help patients get better faster and

improve their quality of life. We help patients

transition to less acute care settings, help them

recover quicker and provide solutions that can

assist them to avoid more acute conditions. We

also provide the ability for some patients to be

treated in the home rather than the hospital.

Our products are categorised into two groups:

Hospital and Homecare.

Hospital

Homecare

Interim Report 20187Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
Respiratory humidification and support

Our world-leading respiratory humidification

products and systems are used in invasive

and non-invasive ventilation and in nasal

high flow therapy to provide warm,

humidified air to patients in respiratory

distress. Heated and humidified air can assist

in maintaining the body’s natural balance of

heat and moisture in the airways, improve

patient comfort and compliance, and deliver

better therapy outcomes.

Surgical technologies

We offer surgical humidification products

which have been shown to reduce certain

complications associated with laparoscopic

and open surgery.

CPAP therapy/OSA

Patients suffering from obstructive sleep

apnea (OSA) benefit from continuous

positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy,

which is delivered through flow devices and

facial masks. Our recently launched

SleepStyle CPAP device offers many

technological benefits for patients, and our

market-leading masks are well known for

their comfort, effective seal and easy use.

Home respiratory support

Our world-leading range of respiratory

humidification products are also used to

provide respiratory support in the home and

for patients in long-term care. This enables

patients to receive the benefits of our

Optiflow nasal high flow therapy and

ventilation outside of the hospital.

Sustainable growth

through innovation

We are pleased to report our result

for the first half of the 2018

financial year. Net profit after tax

was up 4% for the half at NZ$81.3

million, and operating revenue was

NZ$458.4 million, which is 8%

above the first half last year.

Trading has been in-line with our

expectations for the first half of this financial

year, and our net profit after tax growth of

4% is impacted by the timing of patent

litigation costs compared to the first half of

the prior year. In the first half of 2017, we

incurred one month’s worth of patent

litigation expenses (NZ$2.4M) as opposed

to the 2018 financial year where we have had

six months of these costs (NZ$12.2M). Our

updated net profit after tax guidance for the

full year of approximately NZ$185-190M

includes anticipated litigation expenses.

Last financial year we estimated that our

products were used in the treatment of

more than 12 million patients. This is a

number that continues to grow year on year,

and we expect to see this growth pattern

continue well into the future.

Product groups

Our business is structured in two parts:

Hospital and Homecare. The Hospital side

of our business includes products that are

used in respiratory and acute care, and

during surgery. Our systems in this

product group are designed to help

improve patient outcomes by reducing

the likelihood of medical complications and

the need to transition to more intensive

settings. Cost savings for healthcare

providers are often achieved through

shorter lengths of stay, reduced infections

and lower readmission rates.

In the first half of the financial year, the

Hospital product group delivered 11% growth

in operating revenue.

This growth is due largely to the positive

response we have received to our Optiflow

nasal high flow therapy system, which is

becoming widely used around the world.

Our Homecare product group includes

products and systems used to treat OSA

and patients requiring respiratory support

in the home. Products in this group include

CPAP therapy devices and masks, flow

generators, interfaces and data

management technologies.

In the first half of the financial year, the

Homecare product group delivered 4%

growth in operating revenue. This result has

been largely supported by a continuation of

good growth in our OSA mask business,

particularly from our new Brevida nasal

pillows mask which has only been available

in the US from March this year.

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

Innovation, caring for

patients and producing

quality products is the

backbone for

sustainable growth.

We see large and diverse

opportunities for

sustained and profitable

long-term growth.

Interim Report 2018Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited10
Our approach

Our company is centred on innovation.

Caring for the patient, and continuing to

produce quality products that achieve better

patient care, is a philosophy that drives all

the teams within our business.

Continuing to innovate in a way that

supports our customers is a competitive

advantage and is crucial to achieving and

extending our leading positions in the

markets in which we operate. In the first

half of the 2018 financial year, approximately

31% of our revenue was derived from

products that had been introduced within

the last five years.

We have a consistent growth strategy -

designing better, more effective products to

support improved patient outcomes,

developing new therapies that change

clinical practice and reduce costs to

healthcare systems, extending our presence

around the world, and ensuring that our

growth is managed in a sustainable,

profitable way.

Sustainable, profitable growth

We have a number of large opportunities

for growth ahead of us. The first, currently

significant opportunity is in hospital

respiratory support, with our Airvo and

Optiflow products for nasal high flow

therapy. We estimate that our products are

being used to treat more than two million

patients each year out of more than

30 million patients admitted to hospital

annually who could benefit from this therapy.

In the medium-term, we expect to see

material revenue growth in our home

respiratory segment. This involves patients

with chronic respiratory conditions being

treated in their homes with our Optiflow and

myAirvo products. This part of our business

is currently small, and we estimate that

annually there are more than 10 million

patients with chronic respiratory problems

being treated in the hospital who could be

effectively treated in the home. We are

supporting the development of clinical

evidence showing that use of our nasal high

flow therapy in the home will result in

improvements in quality of life and reduced

hospital readmissions.

Over the next decade, we expect our

surgical products to be a more material

contributor to our overall business. Our

Humigard system is used to warm and

humidify the CO

2

that is used during

laparoscopic and some open surgical

procedures. This therapy has been shown to

significantly reduce the risk of postoperative

complications and their associated costs.

Currently, we support around 40,000

patients in this product group, but estimate

that this could extend to a potential

20 million patients annually.

It is clear that we have large and diverse

opportunities available in the short, medium

and long-term. We have a number of new

products that will be released over the next

few years and intend that these products,

along with our consistent growth strategy,

will support sustainable and profitable

growth over the long-term.

Patent litigation update

There have been a number of developments

over the past six months relating to the

patent litigation that we are involved in with

one of our competitors, ResMed. In Germany

Interim Report 201811Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
in October 2017 we were successful in

having two proceedings brought by ResMed

against us suspended. The same court ruled

that a German utility model patent asserted

by us against ResMed is not infringed, and

we have appealed that decision. Within the

last two weeks a UK court ruled that a

patent asserted against us by ResMed was

invalid. Subject to any appeal, this patent

will therefore be revoked in the UK and we

will be entitled to recover our legal costs of

the proceedings from ResMed.

These recent decisions reinforce our

confidence in our position and we are

satisfied with progress so far. A further

update on the patent litigation is included

on page 25 of this report.

Board changes

This half year, long-serving director Lindsay

Gillanders retired from the Board. We have

benefited from Lindsay’s vast expertise in

legal and intellectual property matters as

well as his international business experience,

and would like to acknowledge his

considerable contribution over the years.

In June, Pip Greenwood was appointed as

a non-executive director of the Board.

Pip is a board member and senior partner

at Russell McVeagh, a leading New Zealand

law firm. Pip’s appointment in June gave us

a seamless transition from Lindsay’s

retirement in August.

We also support the Future Directors’

programme, and are pleased to announce

that our current participant, Rachael

Newsome, has extended her time with us

from 12 to 18 months. Her term will now

conclude at the end of March 2018. We value

the perspective Rachael has brought to our

Board meetings, and look forward to her

input for another six months.

Dividend

The Board of Directors has approved an

increased interim dividend of 8.75 cents per

share for the six months to 30 September

2017. This is approximately 61% of net profit

after tax. The interim dividend will be paid

on 20 December 2017.

Summary

We are a world-class business

headquartered in New Zealand, with an

excellent and experienced management

team with considerable global healthcare

experience. Our focus is on growing

organically by delivering excellent healthcare

solutions for patients.

We have a long-standing aim to double our

constant currency revenue every five to six

years, which equates to a growth rate of

more than 12% every year. Our performance

this financial year to date, and the

developing nature of the markets in which

we operate, mean we remain confident that

we are on track to continue delivering on

this objective.

TONY CARTER, CHAIRMAN

LEWIS GRADON, MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Interim Report 2018Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited12
Our aspirations

We’ve established an enviable track record for

delivering sustainable revenue growth.

Through increasing our global reach, designing

and making better products, changing clinical

practice, and concentrating on a sustainable

profit journey, we believe we can continue to

maintain those growth rates over the long term.

In order to make a significant difference to

global healthcare systems, we recognise the

need to invest for long-term growth – in

research, technology and the development of

our employees. We have a responsibility to be

a sustainable, long-term partner for the many

patients, doctors, nurses, suppliers, investors,

and other stakeholders who we affect every day.

Our aspiration over the long term is to deliver

12% revenue growth per year, or doubling our

constant currency revenue every five to six

years. How will we do this? Through building

on what we know, leveraging our competitive

advantages and bringing our care by design

philosophy to everything we do.

Because at the end of the day, if we can do

better for patients, then we do better for

everyone.

excluding the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates, hedging results and balance

sheet translations. This constant currency analysis is non–conforming financial information,

as defined by the NZ Financial Markets Authority, and has been provided to assist users of

financial information to better understand and assess the company’s financial performance

without the impacts of spot foreign currency fluctuations and hedging results and has been

prepared on a consistent basis each year. The company’s constant currency income statement

The reconciliation set out above illustrates that, when comparing the NZ dollar profit before

tax shown in the actual income statement for the six months to 30 September 2017 with the

corresponding period for the prior year:

• the movement in average daily spot exchange rates had an unfavourable impact of

NZ$5.3 million; and

• the company’s foreign exchange hedging activities had a favourable impact of

NZ$0.7 million.

Overall, the net favourable effect of movements in exchange rates and the hedging programme

was NZ$0.3 million, including the impact of balance sheet revaluations.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE EFFECTS

The company is exposed to movements in foreign exchange rates, with approximately 51% of

operating revenue generated in US dollars, 20% in Euros, 6% in Australian dollars and 23% in

other currencies.

In the current period the proportion of revenue which was generated in US dollars was

51% (52% last full year). This was mainly due to changes in the value of the US dollar compared

to last year. The proportion of revenue from other currencies has remained relatively stable.

The company’s cost base continues to be increasingly diverse, as manufacturing output from

Mexico has increased to 35% of total output.

On average over the reporting period the value of the New Zealand dollar against the currencies

we are exposed to has generally moved unfavourably however US dollar hedges put in place

in the 2015 calendar year have provided better protection than the prior comparative period.

Average EUR conversion rates were unfavourable as measured against the prior comparative

period during FY17 as we had delivered the last of the very favourable long-term EUR hedges

put in place at the time of the Global Financial Crisis. As a net result a foreign exchange hedging

gain of NZ$10.4 million (2016: NZ$9.7 million) to operating profit was recorded, being similar to

the prior corresponding period.

The average daily spot rate and the average conversion exchange rate (i.e. the accounting rate,
incorporating the benefit of forward exchange contracts entered into by the company in respect

of the relevant financial year) of the main foreign currency exposures for the six months ended

2016 and 2017 are set out in the table below:

The effect of balance sheet translations of offshore assets and liabilities for the six months

ended 30 September 2017 resulted in an increase in operating revenue of NZ$0.6 million

(2016: decrease of NZ$5.3 million) and an increase in profit before tax of NZ$0.1 million (2016:

decrease of NZ$4.8 million).

FUNDING
The company had total available committed debt funding of NZ$255 million as at 30 September

2017, of which approximately NZ$182 million was undrawn, and cash on hand of NZ$59 million.

Bank debt facilities provide all available funding. Over the next 12 months debt facilities

totalling NZ$30 million will mature. As at 30 September 2017, the weighted average maturity of

borrowing facilities was 2.4 years.

Debt maturity

The average maturity of the term borrowings of NZ$62 million was 3.2 years and the currency

split was 71% US dollars; 20% Euros; 6% Australian dollars and 3% Canadian dollars (no NZD

denominated term borrowings).

Interest rates

Approximately 74% of all borrowings were at fixed interest rates with an average duration of

3.0 years and an average rate of 2.9%. Inclusive of floating rate borrowings, the average interest

rate on the debt is currently 2.7%. All interest rates are inclusive of margins but not fees.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operations was NZ$82.2 million compared with NZ$76.2 million for the

six months ended 30 September 2016. The increase includes a benefit in the timing of

tax payments.

Capital expenditure for the six months was NZ$51.6 million compared with NZ$30.4 million

in the prior year. The capital expenditure related predominantly to new product tooling and

manufacturing equipment as well as property and intangible costs. Property expenditure related

to land acquisition costs in Tijuana, Mexico and early earthworks costs for the fourth building

on our East Tamaki, Auckland campus, NZ$20.0 million in total. Due to the New Zealand and

Mexico building programme we expect capital expenditure to be higher in the second half of

the financial year with full year capital expenditure estimated to be NZ$130 million.

BALANCE SHEET

Gearing

1

at 30 September 2017 was 3.8%, higher than the 0.0% gearing at 31 March 2017. The

increase in gearing since 31 March 2017 is a result of increased capital expenditure, principally

land and buildings, and the increased FY17 final dividend paid in July. The gearing figure remains

within the debt to debt plus equity target range of +5% to –5%.

5. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Periodically the Group is party to litigation including product liability and patent claims.

ResMed Patent Litigation

United States

In August 2016, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare filed patent infringement proceedings in the US

District Court for the Southern District of California seeking judgment that ResMed’s AirSense

10 and AirCurve 10 range of flow generator products, ClimateLineAir heated air tubing, and

water chambers for use with such flow generator products, as well as Swift LT and Swift FX

masks infringe patents held by Fisher & Paykel Healthcare. ResMed responded that the patents

asserted are not infringed and/or are invalid.

ResMed also filed a counterclaim in the US District Court for the Southern District of California

seeking judgment that Fisher & Paykel Healthcare’s Simplus and Eson range of masks used in

the treatment of OSA infringe patents held by ResMed. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare responded

that it does not infringe and/or the patents of ResMed are invalid.

Also in August 2016, ResMed requested that the US International Trade Commission (ITC)

conduct an investigation into patent infringement allegations. Shortly before the start of the

trial in May 2017, ResMed withdrew its complaint to the ITC. ResMed indicated at the time that it

intended to file an additional ITC complaint but has not yet done so.

Both Fisher & Paykel Healthcare and ResMed have filed for inter partes review with the US

Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the patents asserted by the other in the US.

Germany

ResMed initiated patent infringement proceedings in the Regional Court in Munich in relation to

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare’s Simplus and Eson range of masks. These proceedings are currently

stayed pending the outcome of challenges to the validity of ResMed’s patents that will be heard

by the European Patent Office.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare also filed patent infringement proceedings against ResMed in the

Regional Court in Munich in relation to ResMed’s AirSense 10 and AirCurve 10 range of flow

generator products and Lumis series of non-invasive ventilators. One case is currently stayed

pending the outcome of a validity challenge and one is awaiting its second hearing which has

been scheduled for 2018. In a third case the court ruled that a German utility model patent was

not infringed. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare has appealed that decision.

New Zealand

ResMed has initiated proceedings in the High Court of New Zealand in relation to Fisher & Paykel

Healthcare’s ICON CPAP device and Simplus and Eson range of masks. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare

has filed a counterclaim in the High Court of New Zealand for non-infringement and revocation.

United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom Fisher & Paykel Healthcare sought a declaration of non-infringement

and invalidity in the High Court of Justice Chancery Division Patents Court in respect of three

patents asserted against Fisher & Paykel Healthcare in Germany. ResMed counterclaimed for

infringement. Just before the trial was to start ResMed conceded to the revocation of two of

its patents in the UK. The trial proceeded in relation to a third patent and the Court found that

ResMed’s patent was invalid in its entirety. Subject to any appeal, this patent will be revoked in

the UK and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare is entitled to recover its legal costs of the proceedings

from ResMed for an amount yet to be determined by the Court.

5. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES CONTINUED
Impact

Both parties are seeking injunctions and damages in relation to the proceedings described on

the previous page. As at the date of the issue of these financial statements, an estimate of the

financial effect cannot be made.

Except as noted on the previous page, the Directors are unaware of the existence of any claim

or other contingencies that would have a material impact on the operations of the Group.

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments are either carried at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment,

or fair value. The carrying value of all financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value.

There have been no changes to the Group’s hedging policy during the period. The Group

enters into foreign currency option contracts or forward foreign currency contracts within

policy parameters to manage the net risk associated with anticipated sales or costs. The Group

generally applies hedge accounting to all derivative financial instruments.

All derivative financial instruments continue to be re-measured to their fair value. Derivatives

continue to be classified as being within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and there were no

changes in valuation techniques during the period.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the period the Group has not entered into any material contracts involving related

parties or directors’ interests. No amounts owed by related parties have been written off or

forgiven during the period. Apart from directors’ fees, key executive remuneration and dividends

paid by the Group to its directors, there have been no related party transactions.

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group’s operating segments consist of New Zealand, North America, Europe and Asia

Pacific. The composition of these segments is unchanged from the audited consolidated

financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017. Performance is measured based on

segment operating profit, as the chief operating decision-maker believes that such information

is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that

operate within this industry.

The Group’s products and systems are for use in respiratory care, acute care and the treatment

of obstructive sleep apnea and are sold in over 120 countries worldwide. Revenues are managed

on a regional basis, but a split by product group is set out in Note 3.

Interim Report 2018Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited28

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT
To the shareholders of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited

REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited (“the

Company”), and its controlled entities (“the Group”) on pages 20 to 28, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 September 2017, the

consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated

statement of cash flows for the period ended on that date, and selected explanatory notes.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements

The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and presentation of these financial statements in accordance with New Zealand

Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34) and for such internal controls as the Directors determine are

necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the accompanying financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with

the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410).

NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements, taken as a whole, are

not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34. As the auditors of the Group, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical

requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements.

A review of financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, primarily consisting of

making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The procedures

performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand)

and International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these financial statements.

We are independent of the Group. Our firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of advisory, tax compliance, other assurance services and

procedures for scrutineering the counting of votes at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. The provision of these other services has not impaired our

independence.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these financial statements of the Group are not prepared, in all material

respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34.

Who we report to

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s shareholders those

matters which we are required to state to them in our review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume

responsibility to anyone other than the shareholders for our review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed.
