Barramundi Limited (NZX: BRM) today announces a net profit of $12.5 million for the 12 months ended 30
June 2020. The result is up from last year’s net profit of $7.4 million.

Chair Alistair Ryan said, “Barramundi has delivered a strong result for shareholders during a period that was
heavily influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting high market volatility. The Manager’s
measured investment approach has enabled Barramundi to benefit from the Australian share market recovery
since late March 2020. Overall Barramundi’s +20% outperformance against the benchmark index, (gross
performance +13.5% verses benchmark -6.6%), is a very satisfying result and speaks highly of the Manager’s
STEEPP process and the rigour and analytical discipline that goes with that. We are also pleased with
Barramundi’s total shareholder return of +21.6%
1
and the adjusted NAV return of +10.6%
2
in this volatile
environment.

The COVID crisis remains unpredictable, as do markets and economies around the world. Markets can be
volatile at the best of times but the on-going world-wide pandemic has introduced a new level of uncertainty.

As we have over the past six months, the board will continue to liaise closely with the Barramundi portfolio
management team as circumstances develop over coming months. Apart from the weekly Net Asset Value
advice to NZX and the quarterly Newsletter, the next report to shareholders is expected to be a three month
update (July 2020 – September 2020 inclusive) at the annual shareholders’ meeting on 23 October 2020. We
look forward to updating many of you at that meeting.”

Senior Portfolio Manager Robbie Urquhart said “The Barramundi portfolio performed admirably in a difficult
year, with our portfolio performance coming from a wide number of companies, particularly those providing
critical goods and services to customers across the healthcare and information technology sectors. This included
companies such as Resmed, CSL, Sonic Healthcare and Nanosonics. COVID-19 is accelerating the global shift to
the digital economy. This has benefitted the likes of data centre operator Next DC. Next DC has seen heightened
demand for data capacity as more people work from home and need access to their company data and systems
remotely.”

Mr Urquhart said “Some of Barramundi’s strong performance in the year has also come from unexpected
sources. Ordinarily, in an economic downturn, global glove manufacturer Ansell would be impacted by a
slowdown in activity. But COVID-19 has increased the focus on hygiene standards, driving strong demand for
Ansell’s products, making it one of our best performing companies this year. Having a blend of high quality
companies in different industries and geographies pays off in unpredictable, volatile environments.

We have increased the strength of the Barramundi portfolio in the last few months. We added to our higher
quality portfolio positions including the Australian banks, Brambles, Seek and Xero. We also seized the rare
opportunity to add online classified advertising company REA Group to the portfolio at an opportune price
during the market turmoil in March. And we added the high quality supermarket operator Woolworths to the
portfolio in May.”

Looking to the future, Mr Urquhart added “The COVID-19 pandemic is far from over. The economic outlook
remains uncertain as evidenced by the recent Victorian lockdown. We don’t know where the next challenge will
come from nor what shape it will take. However, we are confident that our blend of high quality companies in
the Barramundi portfolio is well placed to weather the next challenge.”
In accordance with Barramundi’s quarterly distribution policy (2% of average NAV per quarter), the company
paid a total of 5.56 cents per share to shareholders during the year ended 30 June 2020. Today, the board
declared a dividend of 1.34 cents per share, payable on 25 September 2020 with a record date of 10
September 2020.

1
Total Shareholder Return- the return combines the share price performance, the warrant price performance, the net
value of converting any warrants into shares, and the dividends paid to shareholders. It assumes all dividends are
reinvested in the company’s dividend reinvestment plan, and that shareholders exercise their warrants, (if they were in the
money), at warrant expiry date.
2
Adjusted NAV return- the net return to an investor after expenses, fees & tax.
3
Gross Return – The Manager’s portfolio performance in terms of stock selection & currency hedging before fees and tax.
4
S&P / ASX 200 index (hedged 70% to NZ).

The total shareholder return, adjusted NAV return and gross performance return methodologies are described in the Barramundi Non-
GAAP Financial Information Policy. A copy of the policy is available at http://www.barramundi.co.nz/about-barramundi/barramundi-
policies/

BARRAMUNDI LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
Note 2Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Given that the investment portfolio is managed, and performance is evaluated, on a fair value basis in
accordance with a documented investment strategy, Barramundi has classified all of its investments at fair
value through profit or loss.
Investments are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently revalued to reflect changes in fair value.
Net changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise of Australian listed equity investment assets
and forward foreign exchange contracts with positive value.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss comprise of forward foreign exchange contracts with
negative value.
Forward foreign exchange contracts can be used as economic hedges for equity investments against
currency risk. They are accounted for on the same basis as those investments and are recognised at their
fair value.
All purchases and sales of investments are recognised at trade date, which is the date the Company commits
to purchase or sell the investment and transaction costs are expensed as incurred. When an investment is
sold, any gain or loss arising on the sale is included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Realised
gains or losses are calculated as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the
item.
The fair value of listed equity investments traded in active markets are based on last sale prices at balance
date, except where the last sale price falls outside the bid-ask spread for a particular investment, in which case
the bid price will be used to value the investment. The decline in equity markets as a result of COVID-19
adversely impacted the value of investments during the year, with markets since recovering by year end.
Trading was not suspended as at year end for any of the investments held by the Company.
The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined by using valuation techniques based on
spot exchange rates and forward points supplied by The World Markets Company PLC via Refinitiv.
Dividend income from investments is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when the
Company's right to receive payments is established (ex-dividend date).
Investments recognised at fair value are categorised according to a fair value hierarchy that shows the extent
of judgement used in determining their fair value. Where unadjusted quoted prices are used in an active market,
the investments are categorised as Level 1. When significant inputs derived from quoted prices are used, the
investments are categorised as Level 2. If significant inputs are not based on observable market data, they are
categorised as Level 3.
All listed equity investments held by Barramundi are categorised as Level 1 and all forward foreign exchange
contracts are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. There have been no transfers between levels of
the fair value hierarchy during the year (2019: none).
There were no financial instruments classified as Level 3 at 30 June 2020 (2019: none). There have been
no changes to the fair value hierarchy classification of investments as a result of COVID-19.

Note 5
Taxation
Barramundi is a Portfolio Investment Entity ("PIE") for tax purposes.
Taxation expense comprises both current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the
taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at balance date, and any
adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised
as a liability or asset to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). Deferred tax (if any) is recognised as the
difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the amounts
used for taxation purposes. A deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent it is probable it will be utilised.

Imputation credits
The imputation credits available for subsequent reporting periods total $94,149 (2019: $546,590). This
amount represents the balance of the imputation credit account at the end of the reporting period, adjusted
for imputation credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as a receivable at 30 June 2020.
Note 6
Shareholders' Equity
Share Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares and
warrants are shown in equity as a deduction.
When shares are acquired by the Company, the amount of consideration paid is recognised directly in equity.
Acquired shares are classified as treasury stock and presented as a deduction from share capital. When
treasury stock is subsequently sold or reissued, the cost of treasury stock is reversed and the realised gain or
loss on sale or reissue, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, is recognised within share
capital.
Barramundi has 208,719,740 fully paid ordinary shares on issue (2019: 172,081,073). All ordinary shares rank
equally and have no par value. All shares carry an entitlement to dividends and one vote is attached to each
fully paid ordinary share.
Buybacks
Barramundi maintains an ongoing share buyback programme. For the year ended 30 June 2020, Barramundi
had acquired 1,112,889 shares valued at $705,988 (2019: 671,901 shares, $415,837) under the programme
which allows up to 5% of the ordinary shares on issue (as at the date 12 months prior to the acquisition) to be
acquired. Shares acquired under the buyback programme are held as treasury stock and subsequently
reissued to shareholders under the dividend reinvestment plan. There were no shares held as treasury stock
at balance date (2019: 33,210).
Warrants
Dividends
Dividend distributions to the Company's shareholders are recognised as a liability in the financial statements in
the period in which the dividends are declared by the Barramundi Board.
Barramundi has a distribution policy where 2% of average NAV is distributed each quarter. Dividends paid
during the year comprised:

Note 6
Shareholders' Equity (continued)
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Barramundi has a dividend reinvestment plan which provides ordinary shareholders with the option to reinvest
all or part of any cash dividends in fully paid ordinary shares at a 3% discount to the five-day volume weighted
average share price from the date the shares trade ex-entitlement. During the year ended 30 June 2020,
6,502,038 ordinary shares totalling $3,925,414 (2019: 5,506,913 ordinary shares totalling $3,241,095) were
issued in relation to the plan for the quarterly dividends paid. To participate in the dividend reinvestment plan,
a completed participation notice must be received by Barramundi before the next record date.
Note 7Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year. Diluted earnings per share assumes
conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares in determining the denominator. Potential ordinary shares

Related Party Information
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control or exercise significant influence over
the other party in making financial or operational decisions.
Transactions with related parties
The Manager of Barramundi is Fisher Funds Management Limited ("Fisher Funds" or "the Manager"). Fisher
Funds is a related party by virtue of the Management Agreement. In return for the performance of its duties
as Manager, Fisher Funds is paid the following fees:
(i) Management fee: 1.25% (plus GST) per annum of the gross asset value, calculated weekly and payable
monthly in arrears. The fee reduces if the Manager underperforms, thereby aligning the Manager's interests
with those of the Barramundi shareholders. For every 1% underperformance (relative to the change in the NZ
90 Day Bank Bill Index) the management fee percentage is reduced by 0.1%, subject to a minimum 0.75% per
annum management fee.
(ii) Performance fee: Fisher Funds may earn an annual performance fee of 10% plus GST (2019: 15%
plus GST) of excess returns over and above the performance fee hurdle return (being the change in the
NZ 90 Day Bank Bill Index plus 7%) subject to achieving the High Water Mark ("HWM"). From 1 July 2019
the total performance fee amount is subject to a cap of 1.25% of the net asset value and is no longer
partially settled by equity share payment, but settled fully in cash.
The HWM is the dollar amount by which the net asset value per share exceeds the highest net asset value per
share (after adjustment for capital changes and distributions) at the end of any previous calculation period in
which a performance fee was payable, multiplied by the number of shares at the end of the period.
In accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, when a performance fee is earned, it is paid
within 60 days of the balance date.
Performance fees paid to the Manager are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income and treated in line with a typical operating expense.
For the year ended 30 June 2020, excess returns of $2,966,757 (2019: $nil ) were generated and the net asset
value per share before the deduction of a performance fee was $0.68 (2019: $0.69), which exceeded the
HWM after adjustment for capital changes and distributions of $0.57 (2019: $0.70). Accordingly, the Company
has expensed a performance fee of $301,126 (2019: $nil was expensed).
(iii) Administration fee: Fisher Funds provides corporate administration services and a monthly fee is
charged.

Investment transactions with related parties
Off-market transactions between Barramundi and other funds managed by Fisher Funds take place for the
purposes of rebalancing portfolios without incurring brokerage costs. These transactions are conducted after
the market has closed at last sale price (on an arm’s length basis). Purchases for the year ended 30 June 2020
totalled $3,388,954 (2019: $169,685) and sales totalled $55,960 (2019: $464,230).

Directors
The directors of Barramundi are the only key management personnel and they are paid a fee for their services.
The directors' fee pool is $157,500 (plus GST if any) per annum (2019: $157,500). The amount paid to
directors (inclusive of GST for three directors) is disclosed in note 4 under directors' fees (all directors earn a
director's fee).
The directors or their associates also held shares in the Company at 30 June 2020 and previously held
warrants on issue at 30 June 2019. The table below shows a reconciliation of opening and closing share

Note 12
Financial Risk Management
The Company is subject to a number of financial risks which arise as a result of its investment activities,
including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Management Agreement between Barramundi and Fisher Funds details permitted investments. Financial
instruments currently recognised in the financial statements also comprise cash and cash equivalents, forward
foreign exchange contracts, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables.
Market Risk
All equity investments present a risk of loss of capital, often due to factors beyond the Company's control such
as competition, regulatory changes, commodity price changes and changes in general economic climates
domestically and internationally. The Manager moderates this risk through careful stock selection,
diversification and daily monitoring of the market positions. For corporate governance purposes there is also
regular reporting to the Board of Directors. In addition, the Manager has to meet the criteria of authorised
investments within the prudential limits defined in the Management Agreement.
The market risk of the Company is concentrated in Australia.
Price Risk
Price risk is the risk of gains or losses from changes in the market price of investments. The Company is
exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the underlying value of its listed portfolio companies. There were no
companies individually comprising more than 10% of Barramundi’s total assets at 30 June 2020 (2019: none).
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of movements in interest rates. Surplus cash is held in interest bearing Australian
and New Zealand bank accounts. The Company is therefore exposed to the risk of changes in interest income
from movements in both Australian and New Zealand interest rates. There is no hedge against the risk of
movements in interest rates.
Currency Risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an investment will fluctuate because of
changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company holds assets denominated in Australian dollars and it is
therefore exposed to currency risk as the value of these assets in Australian dollars will fluctuate with changes
in the relative value of the New Zealand dollar. The Company mitigates this risk by entering into forward foreign
exchange contracts as and when the Manager deems it appropriate. At any time during the year the portfolio
may be hedged by an amount deemed appropriate by the Manager.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to
the Company. In the normal course of its business, the Company is exposed to credit risk from transactions
with its counterparties.
The Company measures credit risk and expected credit losses using probability of default, exposure at default
and loss given default. Management considers both historical analysis and forward looking information in
determining any expected credit loss. At balance date, cash at bank was held with counterparties with a credit
rating of S&P AA- or equivalent. Trade and other receivables are normally settled within three business days.
Page 13 of 14
Management considers the probability of default to be close to zero as the counterparties have a strong
capacity to meet their contractual obligations in the near term. As a result, no loss allowance has been
recognised based on 12 month expected credit losses as any such impairment would be wholly insignificant to
the Company.
Australian listed equity investments are held by an independent custodian, Trustees Executors Limited. All
transactions in listed securities are paid for on delivery according to standard settlement instructions and are
normally settled within three business days. Dividends receivable are due from listed Australian companies and
are normally settled within a month after the Ex-Dividend date. The Company has cash and forward foreign
exchange contracts with banks registered in New Zealand and Australia which carry a minimum short-term
credit rating of S&P AA-.
3
Current market circumstances caused the Company to review the adequacy of the currency risk sensitivity. The 10% variable used in the
previous period is considered to continue to be appropriate to illustrate the impact of COVID-19, as well as a reasonable possible movement based
on historic trends.
2
Current market circumstances caused the Company to review the adequacy of the interest rate risk sensitivity. The 1% variable used in the
previous period is considered to continue to be appropriate to illustrate the impact of COVID-19, as well as a reasonable possible movement based
on historic trends. The percentage movement for the interest rate sensitivity relates to an absolute change in the interest rate rather than a
percentage change in interest rate.
1
The impact of COVID-19 caused the Company to review the adequacy of the market price risk sensitivity analysis. A variable of 20% (2019: 10%)
is considered appropriate for market price risk sensitivity based on the impact of COVID-19, as well as based on historical price movements.

BARRAMUNDI LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
Note 12
Financial Risk Management (continued)
Credit Risk (continued)
The maximum credit risk of financial assets is deemed to be their carrying amount as reported in the Statement
of Financial Position.
Other than cash at bank, short term unsettled trades and dividends receivable, there are no significant
concentrations of credit risk. The Company does not expect non-performance by counterparties, therefore no
collateral or security is required.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the assets held by the Company cannot readily be converted to cash in order to
meet the Company's financial obligations as they fall due. The Company endeavours to invest the proceeds
from the issue of shares in appropriate investments while maintaining sufficient liquidity (through daily cash
monitoring) to meet working capital and investment requirements.
Liquidity to fund investment requirements can be augmented through the procurement of a debt facility from a
registered bank to a maximum value of 20% of the gross asset value of the Company. There were no such
debt facilities at 30 June 2020 (2019: nil).
All derivative financial liabilities held by the Company have contractual maturities of 3 months or less.
There have been no subsequent events to suggest any issues with satisfying working capital and investment
requirements and COVID-19 has not impacted the liquidity risk profile.
Capital Risk Management
The Company’s objective is to prudently manage shareholder capital (share capital, reserves, accumulated
deficits) and borrowings (if any).
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, undertake share buybacks, issue new shares and secure
borrowings in the short term.
The Company was not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements during the year.
Since announcing a long-term distribution policy in August 2009, the Company continues to pay 2% of average
net asset value each quarter.
Note 13
Net Asset Value
The audited net asset value per share of Barramundi as at 30 June 2020 was $0.68 (2019: $0.69),
calculated as the net assets of $141,516,499 divided by the number of shares on issue of 208,719,740
(2019: net assets of $118,299,331 and shares on issue of 172,081,073).
Note 14
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
There were no unrecognised contractual commitments or contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2020 (2019: nil).
Note 15
Financial Reporting by Segments
The Company operates in a single operating segment, being Australian financial investment.
The Company is managed as a whole and is considered to have a single operating segment. There is no
further division of the Company or internal segment reporting used by the Directors when making strategic,
investment or resource allocation decisions.
There has been no change to the operating segment during the year.
Note 16
Subsequent Events
The Board declared a dividend of 1.34 cents per share on 26 August 2020. The record date for this dividend is
10 September 2020 with a payment date of 25 September 2020.
There were no other events which require adjustment to, or disclosure, in these financial statements.

Independent auditor’s report
To the shareholders of Barramundi Limited
We have audited the financial statements which comprise:
● the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020;

● the statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;
● the statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
● the statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
● the notes to the financial statements, which include significant accounting policies.
Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of Barramundi Limited (the Company)
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2020, its
financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand
Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand)
(ISAs (NZ)) and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial
statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
We are independent of the Company in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1
International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence
Standards) (New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards
Board and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International
Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA
Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Our firm carries out an agreed-upon procedures engagement for the Company in relation to the
performance fee calculation. Our firm also provided factual tax information to Fisher Funds
Management Limited (the Investment Manager) that was generic but relevant to the Company. The
provision of these other services has not impaired our independence as auditor of the Company.
Key audit matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance
in our audit of the financial statements of the current year. Given the nature of the Company, we
have one key audit matter: Valuation and existence of Australian listed equity investments. The
matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on the matter.

PwC
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit
matter
Valuation and existence of Australian listed
equity investments
Australian listed equity investments (the
investments) are valued at $140.1 million and
represent 98% of total assets.
Further disclosures on the investments are
included in note 2 to the financial statements.
This was an area of focus for our audit and an
area where a significant proportion of audit
effort was directed.
As at 30 June 2020, all investments were in
companies that were listed on the ASX and
were actively traded with readily available,
quoted market prices. The market prices are
quoted in Australian dollars, which are then
translated to New Zealand dollars using the
exchange rate at 30 June 2020.
Management assessed the impact of COVID-19
on the Company’s financial statements
including the investments and included
additional disclosures in relation to the
investments, market price risk sensitivity and
liquidity risk.
All investments are held by Trustees Executors
Limited (the Custodian) on behalf of the
Company. Trustees Executors Limited also
provides administration services for the
Company.
Our audit procedures included updating our
understanding of the business processes
employed by the Company for accounting
for, and valuing, its investment portfolio.
We obtained confirmation from the
Custodian that the Company was the
recorded owner of all the recorded
investments.
We obtained copies of and assessed Trustees
Executors Limited’s Internal Controls
Reports for Custody, Investment Accounting
and Registry services for the period from 1
April 2019 to 31 March 2020. Trustees
Executors Limited has confirmed that there
has been no material change to the control
environment in the period from 1 April 2020
to 30 June 2020.
We agreed the price for all investments held
at 30 June 2020 and the exchange rate at
which they have been converted from
Australian dollars to New Zealand dollars to
independent third-party pricing sources.
We have considered the impact of COVID-19
on the valuation of investments, including
the disclosures provided in note 2.
No matters arose from the procedures
performed.
Our audit approach
Overview
A
n audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
Overall materiality: $707,000, which represents approximately 0.5% of the
net assets. We used this benchmark because, in our view, the objective of
the Company is to provide investors with a total return on its assets, taking
account of both capital and income returns.
As reported earlier, we have one key audit matter, being: Valuation and
existence of Australian listed equity investments.

PwC
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for
materiality, including the overall materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out
above. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our
audit, the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of
misstatements, both individually and in aggregate, on the financial statements as a whole.
Audit scope
We designed our audit by assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements
and our application of materiality. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management
override of internal controls including among other matters, consideration of whether there was
evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an
opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Company,
the type of investments held by the Company, the use of third-party service providers, the related
accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Company operates.
The Directors are responsible for the governance and the control activities of the Company. The
Directors have delegated certain responsibilities to the Investment Manager and Trustees
Executors Limited (the Administrator and the Custodian).
In establishing our overall audit approach, we assessed the risk of material misstatement, taking
into account the nature, likelihood and potential magnitude of any misstatement. As part of our
risk assessment, we considered the Company’s interaction with the Investment Manager and the
Administrator and the control environment in place at the Administrator and the Custodian.
Information other than the financial statements and auditor’s report
The Directors are responsible for the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does
not cover the other information included in the annual report and we do not and will not express
any form of assurance conclusion on the other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we
obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement
of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this
regard, except that not all other information was available to us at the date of our signing.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial statements
The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as
the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern
and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the
Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

PwC
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, as a
whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the
External Reporting Board’s website at:
https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-2/
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Who we report to
This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been
undertaken so that we might state those matters which we are required to state to them in an
auditor’s 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 Company and the Company’s shareholders, as a
body, for our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Philip Taylor.
