Interim Results Commentary


Cancer diagnostics company, Pacific Edge Limited (NZX: PEB) has delivered a strong first half, year on year increase

in revenue as it continues to build momentum and target large scale customers in the United States and other

markets.


Total revenue for 1H18 was up 27% on the prior comparative period to $4.9m, and included operating revenue of

$4.2m which was up 41% on 1H17. A strong second half of the year is expected in line with normal trends

.

The first half of the financial year is traditionally softer for Pacific Edge, due to the USA summer holiday period and also as it

is usually before Americans with private health insurance reach their deductible level (the amount a patient must pay before

their insurance kicks in).

Company Announcement
29 November 2017

Laboratory throughput, which includes both commercial sales and tests from User Programmes, increased to 7,107

tests, up 26% on 1H17. This has had a corresponding effect on receivables which have increased in line with the

higher test numbers. Lab Throughput is an important metric for Pacific Edge as it reflects the increasing trial and

adoption of Cxbladder by key urologists and healthcare providers.


Total operating expenses reduced to $13.5m, a reduction of 11% on 1H17 which included expenses related to the

winding up of the Employee Incentive Scheme. Net operating cashflows remain in line with expectations and were

$(10.2)m for the six months (1H17: $9.1m). Receipts in 1H18 reflect the number of tests completed in 2H17 due

to the time lag between completion of tests and the receipt of payment from relevant US payers. This time to cash

receipt will improve when the company is included in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Local

Coverage Determination (LCD).


In line with the conservative approach taken by Board at the end of the FY17 year, bad debts of $0.7m and doubtful

debts of $0.8m have been recognised in 1H17, to account for additional long standing receivables. Pacific Edge is

striving to obtain the necessary insurance contract coverages to guarantee terms of payment from insurance payers

and will seek recovery of payments that have been written off, once insurance coverage is obtained. Pacific Edge is

no longer accruing revenue for tests completed for CMS patients. CMS tests account for approximately 50% of

current Laboratory Throughput, indicating a significant number of tests which will be added to the annual revenue

when the company receives its expected LCD.


For the six months ended 30 September 2017, Pacific Edge reported a net loss of $8.9m, a reduction of 23% on the

$11.6m reported in 1H17.


Pacific Edge had $4.0m in cash and cash equivalents at 30 September 2017 and, following the completion of the

recent capital raising on 10 November 2017, has received the additional $21.3m of capital raised.


Pacific Edge’s primary focus remains on growing revenue by commercialising large scale customers, including the

Veterans Administration (VA), Kaiser Permanente and the CMS in the US, as well as District Health Boards (DHBs)

in New Zealand and other large healthcare providers. While the administration and clinical sign off for commercial

use by these large organisations can be long and time consuming, the scale and long term sales opportunity they

present is significant.


A Federal Supply Schedule was received in 2017, allowing access to the VA, and early sales are starting to be seen

from two of the initial five clinics being targeted. The company’s focus has now expanded to include a number of

the larger VA centres.


Commercial negotiations are progressing positively with Kaiser Permanente, following the compelling and positive

results of the large scale evaluation of Cxbladder User Programme in late 2016. Contemporaneously with this,

Pacific Edge has been working with Kaiser’s staff on the necessary business elements to ensure that the start-up of

commercial tests can occur expediently following the completion and signing of the agreement.


In addition, Pacific Edge is continuing to work through the process required to gain inclusion in the LCD from the

CMS. Once this is received, it will enable consistent and timely reimbursement for Medicare patients, on normal

CMS payment terms. The inclusion into the LCD and the commensurate pricing negotiation will provide the catalyst

for Pacific Edge to negotiate agreements with other private payers which view the CMS pricing as a benchmark,

providing further certainty on price and payment terms for Pacific Edge.

Company Announcement
29 November 2017


New Zealand urologists continue to lead the way globally in the adoption and commercial use of Pacific Edge’s

novel molecular diagnostic tests, with the majority of the large DHBs now offering their patients access to

Cxbladder. The recent global first was the signing by Mid-Central DHB to make the full suite of Cxbladder tests

available to their patients. While a good infrastructure is now in place in Australia, uptake has been slower than in

New Zealand and Pacific Edge is working closely with its distribution partner, Tolmar Australia, to drive adoption.

The investigations into South East Asia continue to progress, with three User Programmes in large scale hospitals

now running in Singapore, of which one is expected to transition to a commercial customer in the near future.

Additional User Programmes are expected to commence in the second half of the year.


Chairman of Pacific Edge, Chris Gallaher said: “We are working hard to achieve our goal of being cash-flow positive.

The rate that we progress is entirely driven by the contribution to revenue from the large scale customers that we

are targeting and we are working hard to convert these transformational customers into revenue and cash.”


CEO of Pacific Edge, David Darling, said: “There is no doubt that Cxbladder is a breakthrough product – more and

more urologists and healthcare providers are now recognising this and are looking to adopt our products into

clinical use with some of the large public healthcare providers in New Zealand adding Cxbladder to their standard

of care. Momentum is building and the full efforts of everyone in the company are focused on transforming Pacific

Edge into a globally recognised and successful New Zealand business.”

OVERVIEW www.pacificedge.co.nz www.pacificedgedx.com

Pacific Edge Limited (NZX: PEB) is a New Zealand publicly listed, cancer diagnostic company specialising in the discovery and

commercialisation of diagnostic and prognostic tests for better detection and management of cancer. The company is

developing and commercialising its range of Cxbladder bladder cancer tests globally through its wholly owned central

laboratories in New Zealand and the USA. The company’s products have been tested and validated in international multi-centre

clinical studies.


Pacific Edge has three proprietary, novel, accurate, molecular diagnostic products in-market providing actionable results, and

better detection and management of urothelial cancer. Cxbladder Detect and Cxbladder Triage are available through the

company’s dedicated CLIA certified laboratories for customers in New Zealand, Australia and the USA. Cxbladder Monitor

launched in New Zealand in December 2015 and is anticipated being available in the US in 2016.


ABOUT Cxbladder Triage www.cxbladder.com

Cxbladder Triage combines the power of the genomic biomarkers with additional phenotypic and clinical risk factors to

accurately identify patients with haematuria who have a low probability of bladder cancer and may not require a more

extensive urological evaluation. Cxbladder Triage is a tool for use by clinicians and physicians in primary evaluation of patients

with haematuria and is intended to reduce the need for an expensive and invasive work-up in patients who have a low

probability of having urothelial carcinoma.




Company Announcement
29 November 2017

ABOUT Cxbladder Detect www.cxbladder.com

Cxbladder Detect enables the non-invasive detection of bladder and other urinary tract cancers from a small volume of a

patients’ urine. Cxbladder Detect was launched in 2013 in the USA and is commercially available in New Zealand, Australia and

the USA as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) from the company’s CLIA certified laboratories. Cxbladder Detect provides

clinicians with a quick, cost effective and accurate measure of the presence of the cancer as an effective adjunct to cystoscopy.


ABOUT Cxbladder Monitor www.cxbladder.com

Cxbladder Monitor, the third test in the Cxbladder portfolio for urologists, is a proprietary, non-invasive, molecular diagnostic

test that combines genomic biomarkers measured from a small quantity of a patient’s urine, with patient specific clinical factors

to better monitor bladder cancer patients for recurrence. Bladder cancer has a recurrence rate of 50-80% and requires life-

long surveillance. Cxbladder Monitor accurately identifies patients with a prior history of urothelial cancer (UC) whose

Cxbladder Monitor score shows that they have a low probability of recurrent urothelial carcinoma. Cxbladder Monitor is

designed to be used as the preferred adjunct test to cystoscopy in the management of patients for ongoing evaluation of

recurrent bladder cancer.


ABOUT Cxbladder Resolve www.cxbladder.com

Cxbladder Resolve is a proprietary, non-invasive, molecular diagnostic test that combines genomic biomarkers measured from

a small quantity of a patient’s urine, with patient characteristics for the identification of patients who are likely to have

aggressive or more advanced bladder cancer. Cxbladder Resolve, when used as part of the primary evaluation of haematuria

and/or in conjunction with other Cxbladder tests (Triage, Detect), is designed to assist clinicians by accurately identifying

patients with a high probability of having high grade or late stage bladder cancer, for whom alternative or expedited treatment

options may be warranted, or who can be prioritised for further investigation in high throughput settings.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2017

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 . SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The unaudited interim financial statements (“Interim Financial Statements”) presented are

those of Pacific Edge Limited (“Company”) and its subsidiaries (“Group”). The Company is

registered and domiciled in New Zealand for the purpose of developing and commercialising

new diagnostic and prognostic tools for the early detection and management of cancers.

Pacific Edge Diagnostics New Zealand Limited and Pacific Edge Diagnostics USA Limited

manage and operate the laboratories used for the detection of bladder cancer. Pacific

Edge Pty Limited’s purpose is to research and develop the Cxbladder product and other

prognostic tools. Pacific Edge Diagnostics Singapore Pte Limited is assisting with research

and development and will become a sales and marketing entity and Pacific Edge Analytical

Services Limited is a dormant entity.

The Company is a for profit entity, registered in New Zealand under the Companies Act

1993 and is a reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

The Company is listed with NZX Limited with its ordinary shares quoted on the NZX Main

Board.

(a) Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 September 2017 have been

prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice

(GAAP) and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. They comply with the New Zealand

Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other guidance as

issued by the External Reporting Board, as appropriate for profit-oriented entities, and with

International Financial Reporting Standards.

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ IAS 34 - Interim

Financial Reporting. In complying with NZ IAS 34, these consolidated Interim Financial

Statements also comply with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in

conjunction with the Company’s 2017 Annual Report. The Interim Financial Statements

for the six months ended 30 September 2017 are unaudited. Comparative balances for

30 September 2016 are unaudited, whilst the comparative balances for 31 March 2017 are

audited.

The Interim Financial Statements are prepared on the basis of historical cost, except where

otherwise identified. The presentational currency used in the preparation of the financial

statements is New Zealand dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand

dollars ($000).

(b) Accounting Policies

All significant accounting policies have been applied on a basis consistent with those used in

the audited financial statements of Pacific Edge Limited for the year ended 31 March 2017.

Segment Information

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2017
(c) Statement of Cash Flows Restatement

An error was found in the 31 March 2017 Statement of Cash Flows during September 2017.

Bad Debts and Doubtful Debts expenses were incorrectly included in the 31 March 2017

Statement of Cash Flows as Operating Cash Expenditure items, rather than being applied

against Operating Cash Receipts. The net effect of this error on 31 March 2017 Net Operating

Cash Flows was nil, but both Receipts from Customers & Grant Providers and Payments to

Suppliers & Employees were overstated in the 31 March 2017 Statement of Cash Flows by

approximately $3.2m. The corrected 31 March 2017 Statement of Cash Flows was released

to NZX on the 27th of September 2017 and the corrected 31 March 2017 amounts are

shown in the Statement of Cash Flows reported in these Interim Financial Statements.

This error had no impact on the 31 March 2017 Statement of Comprehensive Income,

Statement of Changes in Equity, Earnings per Share or the Balance Sheet. This error did not

impact the comparative interim financial statements from 30 September 2016.

(d) Authorisation

The Interim Financial Statements were authorised by the Board of Directors on 29 November

2017. The annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017 were authorised by

the Board of Directors on 24 May 2017.

(e) Audit

The Interim Financial Statements have not been audited. The comparative full year financial

results for the year ended 31 March 2017 have been audited.

(f) Basis of Consolidation

Financial Statements are as follows:

5. PACIFIC EDGE INCENTIVE PLAN

In March 2011 the Company developed an “Incentive Plan” as a means of providing Key

Persons with the opportunity to participate in the potential increasing profitability of the

Group. The Plan was an Equity Equivalent (EE) Scheme that provides EE Units on the

following terms:

• EE Units are vested to the Participant over a period of 4 years but cannot be redeemed

during the first two years from the date of their issue.

• Each EE Unit has the equivalent value of an ordinary share in the Company.

• Redemption is in cash for the difference between the value of the EE Units at the time

of allocation and their value at the time of redemption.

• The Company must be trading in a cash flow positive condition and the Company’s

share price on the NZX must have reached $1.00 per share.

• A maximum of 25% of a Participant’s vested EE Units can be redeemed in any one year.  

On 30 June 2016 the Board of Directors voted in favour of winding up this scheme. 6,253,000

EE units had been issued at this date of which 5,720,500 had vested. After obtaining an

independent valuation and receiving approval from the EE unit holders to cancel the scheme,

the scheme was cancelled and 5,194,583 shares were issued to employees as consideration

at $0.563 per share. This has been treated as a modification from a cash settled to equity

settled share scheme. The shares were issued with no vesting conditions attached and as no

liability had been recognised for these EE units in previous years, this has resulted in a non-

cash share based payment expense in the corresponding period last year of $2,924,550.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Chief Executive Officer has determined the operating segments based on reports

reviewed by him that are used to make strategic decisions and considers the business to

have two operating segments at 30 September 2017.

These segments are:

- Commercial: The sales, marketing, laboratory and support operations to run the

commercial businesses worldwide.

- Research: The research and development of diagnostic and prognostic products for

human cancer.

The segment revenue and assets information provided to the Chief Executive Officer for the

reportable segments described above, for the six months ended 30 September 2017, are

shown over the page.

9. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

There were no known contingent liabilities at 30 September 2017 (March 2017: Nil and

10. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

There are no capital commitments at 30 September 2017 (March 2017: Nil and September

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On the 11th of October 2017, the Company announced a 1 for 6 rights issue of ordinary

shares. This rights issue was fully underwritten by First NZ Capital Securities Limited and

raised $21.3m. The proceeds after deduction of costs were paid into the Company bank

accounts on 15 November 2017.

12. GOING CONCERN

While the Company continues to incur operating losses, the Company remains solvent and

continues to meet its debts as they fall due. The cash flows are a critical part of ensuring the

business continues to operate in line with the business strategy adopted by the Directors.

In preparing the Interim Financial Statements, the Directors have applied the principles of

going concern on the basis that current cash reserves and its ability to generate cash will

be sufficient to meet its debts as they fall due for a minimum of 12 months from signing the

Interim Financial Statements. Given there is uncertainty of future cash flows at the date of

signing these financial statements, a material uncertainty exists at that date.

13. REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The shareholder has a right to receive from the Company, free of charge, a copy of the

interim report if the shareholder, within 15 working days of receiving the notice, makes a

request to the Company to receive a copy of the interim report.

The interim report is available online. An electronic copy can be accessed by
