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
1
.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

10. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

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
