About TruScreen:
TruScreen is a Cervical Cancer Screening Device which
offers the latest technology in cervical screening,
providing real-time, accurate detection of pre-
cancerous and cancerous cervical cells to help improve
the health and well-being of women around the world.
TruScreen’s real-time cervical cancer technology
utilises a digital wand which is placed on the surface of
the cervix to measure electrical and optical signals from
the surrounding tissues. A sophisticated proprietary
algorithm framework is utilised to detect pre-cancerous
change, or cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN), by
optical and electrical measurement of cervical tissue.
TruScreen offers an alternative approach to cervical screening, resolving many of the ongoing
issues with Pap tests, including failed samples, poor patient follow-up, patient discomfort and
the need for supporting laboratory infrastructures. As such, TruScreen’s target market is low-
and middle-income countries where no large-scale cervical cancer screening programs and
infrastructure are in place, such as China, Mexico, Africa, Russia and India. TruScreen’s cervical
cancer screening device is CE-marked and certified for use throughout Europe and CFDA-
approved for sale in China. The global market potential for TruScreen is significant.

NZX Announcement
Market Release
28 April 2020
Notice of Offer of Same Class Financial Products for Issue
Truscreen Limited (“TRU”) intends to undertake a share purchase plan offer of ordinary shares (“New
Shares”) to TRU’s eligible shareholders (those New Zealand resident shareholders and Wholesale
Australian shareholders, on the share register on the record date of Friday, 24 April 2020) (“the Offer”).
Pursuant to clause 20 of Schedule 8 of the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014 (“Regulations”)
and clause 19 of Schedule 1 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (“FMCA”), TRU advises that:
1. The Offer is being made in reliance upon the exclusion in clause 19 of Schedule 1 of the FMCA.
TRU is giving this notice (Cleansing Notice) under clause 20(1)(a) of Schedule 8 of the Regulations.
2. As at the date of this Cleansing Notice, TRU is in compliance with:
(a) the continuous disclosure obligations that apply to it in relation to TRU’s quoted financial
products; and
(b) its “financial reporting obligations” (within the meaning set out in clause 20(5) of
Schedule 8 of the Regulations).
3. As at the date of this Cleansing Notice, there is no information that is “excluded information”
within the meaning set out in clause 20(5) of Schedule 8 of the Regulations, other than the
following:
The Accounting Standard NZ IAS36 requires the Company to assess at the end of each reporting
period whether there is an indication of impairment to non-current assets, including Intellectual
Property and Development Costs. The carrying value at the interim reporting date, 30 September
2019, of the non-current assets was approximately $8.4 million.
Truscreen’s roll-out plans in China have been adversely impacted by COVID-19, identified recently
as the March 2020 monthly accounts were closed. The Directors are currently undertaking a
comprehensive Impairment Review of the carrying value of non-current assets and will be assisted
by an independent consultant for the purposes of finalising the 31 March 2020 Annual Report.
As at the reporting date of 31 March 2020, fourteen years and eight months useful life remains
on the intellectual property assets and sixteen years useful life remains on the capitalised
development costs. The intangible assets are currently being amortised over their useful lives,
approximating $500,000 per annum.
The Directors have determined, based on Truscreen’s internal modelling, that a preliminary non-
cash impairment charge of NZ$2 million to NZ$2.5 million may be required as a result of the
impairment review currently being undertaken. This estimate is based on preliminary analysis
which the independent consultant has not yet reviewed and will then be subject to further
consideration by the Company’s auditors prior to finalising the 31 March 2020 financial
statements. Any non-cash impairment charge taken up for the year ended 31 March 2020 has no
impact on the Company’s cash position and would reduce the non-cash amortisation charge for
future years.
4. The Offer is not expected to have any material effect or consequences on the control of
TRU.
On behalf of the Board,
Guy Robertson
