PACIFIC EDGE FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE 12 MONTHS TO 31 MARCH 2021
Pacific Edge reports strong growth momentum despite COVID-19
Summary of performance for the period (% changes compared to prior comparative period (pcp)):
• Total revenue increased 101% to $10.4m, with operating revenue from test sales up 76% to $7.7m, despite
the negative impact from COVID-19 on test volumes
• Cash receipts from customers increased 52% on pcp to $6.7m
• Total operating expenses increased 2% on pcp to $24.7m
• Net Loss After Tax improved 25% to $(14.2)m
• Net cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits increased 56% to $23.1m as at 31 March 2021
• Operating revenue and cash receipts benefited from reimbursement coverage by Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) for Cxbladder Detect and Cxbladder Monitor from 1 July 2020
• Strong performance in 2H21 driven by CMS reimbursement coverage from 1 July 2020 and growing
commercial adoption of Cxbladder following a significant negative impact on test volumes from COVID-19
pandemic in 1H21
• Commercial test use by Kaiser Permanente commenced in late 2020 at a slower rate than initially expected
due to COVID-19 challenges and demands on physicians; demand is now starting to lift as restrictions ease
• Positive results from the scale-up of US commercial operations starting to be seen in late Q4 FY21 with
record test volumes and U.S. cash receipts recorded in March 2021
• Positive growth outlook with opportunities being deployed in all target markets, particularly the U.S.
• Increasing test volumes expected to underpin strong revenue and operating cashflow growth in FY22 and
beyond
Cancer diagnostics company, Pacific Edge Limited (NZX: PEB) is pleased to report accelerating revenue growth in its
key markets as it starts to benefit from the major commercial milestones achieved in FY21 and despite the ongoing
challenges and headwinds of COVID-19 throughout the year.
The company continues its focus on leveraging the key commercial milestones achieved during the year, particularly
reimbursement coverage from the CMS from 1 July 2020 and commercial agreement with Kaiser Permanente, one
of the largest integrated healthcare organisations in the U.S. Attaining these commercial milestones has had, and
will continue to have, a significant positive impact on the Company’s financial position and is also paving the way
for the expansion of Cxbladder’s reimbursement coverage with other private payers in the U.S. This has been
highlighted by the recently announced coverage decisions from Facey Medical Group and United Healthcare,
announced post-period end.
Commercial operations in the U.S. have been scaled up with an expanded sales team and a strengthened
commercial leadership team. The value of this investment is now starting to be seen with record test volumes and
U.S. cash receipts recorded in March 2021. These results have been achieved despite the ongoing stay at home
restrictions impacting access to medical centres in certain states of the U.S.

COVID-19 has also impacted the speed of the rollout across the Kaiser Permanente network as California has been
swamped with successive waves of new outbreaks. However, test demand from Kaiser Permanente is now starting
to scale up as restrictions begin to ease and patient access to medical centres improves. Kaiser Permanente has
commenced with commercial use of Cxbladder Monitor for monitoring their bladder cancer patients for recurrence
of the disease and remain positive about expanding their commercial use to include additional Cxbladder products
in the near future.
Outside the U.S., the New Zealand business continued to grow strongly in FY21, despite the impact from COVID-19
disruptions, particularly in Q1 FY21. Southeast Asia and Australia are both at an early stage in their commercial
uptake and growth, with completion of clinical trials in Singapore also delayed due to COVID-19. Progress is now
continuing and the goal remains to transition the public healthcare providers in these markets from their User
Programme clinical trials to become commercial customers.
CEO of Pacific Edge, David Darling, commented: “Pacific Edge has delivered a strong result with a lift in momentum
in our targeted markets, despite the impact that COVID-19 had on our business throughout the year. We delivered
strong growth in operating revenue and operating cashflow, a reduction in our net loss and a significantly
strengthened balance sheet, supporting the scale up of our U.S. commercial operations. We have strengthened our
executive team in both New Zealand and the US to support Pacific Edge’s global growth aspirations. We are now
seeing the benefits and monetisation from the significant effort and investment that has gone into commercialising
Cxbladder and we believe this is just the start of a strong growth trajectory for our company.”
FY21 Financial Result Summary (audited results for the year ending 31 March 2021)
NZ$m FY21 FY20 % change
Total Revenue 10.4 5.2 101%
Operating Revenue (test sales) 7.7 4.4 76%
Operating Expenses 24.7 24.1 2%
Net Loss After Tax (14.2) (18.9) (25%)
Cash Receipts from Customers 6.7 4.4 52%
Net Operating Cashflow (13.6) (15.4) (12%)
Cash, cash equivalents and short term deposits 23.1 14.8 56%
Total Revenue increased 101% on pcp to $10.4m, which included $2.7m of COVID-19 related support payments,
grant revenue, research rebates and interest income.
Operating revenue from test sales increased 76% on pcp to $7.7m. The strong revenue growth was primarily driven
by reimbursement of CMS tests from 1 July 2020 onwards (9 month revenue contribution in FY21). The strong
second half result, up 110% on pcp, reflected the easing of COVID restrictions, progressive commercial adoption of
Cxbladder and growing reimbursement of CMS tests from 1 July 2020 onwards.
U.S. operating revenue increased 82% on pcp to $6.9m and accounted for 89% of total operating revenue. CMS
related tests (Medicare and Medicare Advantage) accounted for approximately 67% of total U.S. commercial test
volumes.
Company Announcement
27 May 2021

Rest of World operating revenue increased 37% to $0.8m, primarily driven by increasing adoption by public
healthcare providers in New Zealand.
Total Laboratory Throughput (TLT) reduced by 6% on pcp to 15,814 tests as COVID-19 restrictions affected access
to urologists and testing for patients, particularly in 1H21. A good recovery was seen from June 2020 as stay at
home restrictions eased in some locations and commercial adoption of Cxbladder continued to grow. TLT in the
second half of the year increased 30% on 1H21 and 3% on pcp, which was a strong result considering it was achieved
in an environment where many COVID-19 restrictions were still in place in the U.S, Pacific Edge’s largest market. A
record month was reported in March 2021 with TLT 37% higher than pcp.
Commercial test volumes reduced 5% on pcp to 12,976 tests but were up slightly as a percentage of TLT. Despite
the Covid19 challenges, strong volume growth from New Zealand customers (up 21% on pcp) who switched to
mutliple Cxbladder products and saw restrictions ease earlier than the US, partially offset the decline in test
volumes from the U.S. (down 12% on pcp). The US market continued in FY21 to suffer from restrictions by patients
to access clinics.
Total operating expenses increased 2% on pcp to $24.7m. Operating expenses in 1H21 were lower than normal
because of the COVID-19 related impact on levels of business activity. Operating expenses increased in 2H21,
primarily driven by the investment in our expanded U.S. sales team and increased marketing activity. Research and
Development expenses increased 17% on pcp to $4.6m as a result of our ongoing investment in clinical studies to
support Cxbladder’s inclusion in U.S. guidelines and wider adoption. We expect total operating expenses to increase
marginally in FY22 as we continue to invest in scaling up our U.S. commercial operations to take advantage of our
growth opportunities.
Cash receipts increased 52% on pcp to $6.7m, with strong receipts in the second half of the year up 64% on the
first six months of the year, and up 102% on the pcp. Net operating cashflow improved 12% to $(13.6)m. The
positive impact of cash reimbursement from the CMS from 1 July 2020 saw the average monthly cash burn reduce
by 10% on pcp.
Strengthened balance sheet: The $22m placement to ANZ New Zealand Investments in July 2020 significantly
strengthened the Company’s balance sheet. As a result, net cash, cash equivalents and short term deposits
increased to $23.1m as at 31 March 2021.
Outlook
Pacific Edge has a strong outlook for FY22 and beyond and is well positioned to capitalise on the opportunities
available to the company. Growth initiatives are being deployed in all Pacific Edge’s target markets, with the U.S.
remaining the primary focus.
The focus for FY22 is on growing the commercial adoption of Cxbladder by Kaiser Permanente and other large
healthcare organisations, further increasing reimbursement coverage from private payers, like United Healthcare,
and achieving a positive shift in guideline inclusion language following the publication of new clinical evidence
further supporting the clinical utility of Cxbladder. The scaled up U.S. commercial operations provide the capacity

and resource to drive growth opportunities and positive results from this investment are now starting to be seen.
An increasing number of commercial tests from the CMS and Kaiser Permanente are expected to underpin strong
revenue and operating cashflow growth in FY22 and beyond.
New Zealand continues to be an important growth market for Pacific Edge. The continued adoption and increasing
test use by New Zealand public healthcare providers is driving growth and momentum is expected to continue.
With more than 65% of New Zealand’s population covered through contracts with the public healthcare providers,
Cxbladder products, with their proven clinical utility and performance benefits for patients, are well positioned for
wider adoption under New Zealand’s proposed new nationwide health service (Health NZ).
The published results from the clinical trials in Singapore will form the basis of Pacific Edge’s planned commercial
rollout in Southeast Asia, which is expected to become a market of scale for Cxbladder over time with an accessible
population base larger than the U.S. In Australia, customers have continued their User Programmes during FY21,
post-Covid restrictions, with the expectation that on successful conclusion, they will progress to commercial
customers.
Chair of Pacific Edge, Chris Gallaher, said: “The strong revenue growth we have reported for FY21 highlights the
value we are now starting to see as we advance the positioning of Cxbladder products as the preferred diagnostic
tests for detecting and managing bladder cancer globally. The recent commercial reimbursement milestones
concluded by the company in FY21 provide the strong foundations for growth in the U.S. and we are focussed on
building scale as quicky as possible to deliver revenue growth and value creation for our shareholders in FY22 and
beyond.”

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.

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 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 allows urologists to monitor bladder cancer patients for recurrence of the disease. 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 identifies those 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.

•Changes to CMS test revenue recognition: LCD inclusion has allowed Pacific Edge to start accruing revenue
(under NZ IFRS 15) for tests that are performed on CMS patients (Medicare and Medicare Advantage) in the
U.S. CMS tests performed after 1 July 2020 have been recognised on an accrual basis based on expected
future cash receipts (previously cash basis). Tests for other non-CMS payers continue to be accounted for on
a cash basis. The accrual included in the FY21 result was $0.973m.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2021
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting Entity
The consolidated financial statements (hereafter referred to as the ‘financial statements’) presented for the year
ended 31 March 2021 are for Pacific Edge Limited (the ‘Company’) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as
the ‘Group’). The Group’s purpose is to research, develop and commercialise new diagnostic and prognostic tools
for the early detection and management of cancers.
Pacific Edge Limited is registered in New Zealand under the Companies Act 1993 and is a Financial Markets
Conduct (FMC) reporting entity under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The financial statements
of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013
and the NZX Listing Rules. The financial statements presented are those of the Group, consisting of the Parent
entity, Pacific Edge Limited and its subsidiaries. The reporting entity is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange
(NZX).
These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 26 May 2021.
Basis of Preparation
These financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP). The Group is a for-profit entity for the purposes of complying with NZ GAAP.
The financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ
IFRS), other New Zealand accounting standards and authoritative notices that are applicable to entities that apply
NZ IFRS. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency and
Group’s presentation currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000). The accounting
principles recognised as appropriate for the measurement and reporting of earnings, cash flows and financial
position on a historical cost basis have been used.
The Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flows have been prepared so that all
components are stated net of GST. All items in the Balance Sheet are stated net of GST, with the exception of
receivables and payables.
Management of Capital
The capital structure of the Group consists of equity raised by the issue of ordinary shares in the Company. The
Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern in order to provide returns for shareholders, provide benefit for other stakeholders and to maintain an
optimal capital structure to support the development of its business. The Company meets these objectives through
closely managing revenue and expenditure, and where required issues new shares. As part of meeting these
objectives, the Company completed a Share Placement in July 2020, issuing a further 33,846,154 shares at $0.65
per share. Refer to Note 18 for further details on the capital raising activity during FY21.
Going Concern
The 2021 financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the Company
will have sufficient cash to pay its debts as they fall due for a minimum of 12 months from the date of signing the
financial statements.
As at 31 March 2021, the Company has $23.129m of cash, cash equivalents and short term deposits (2020:
$14.784m) and net assets of $25.109m (2020: $14.504m). Operating cash receipts totalling $8.077m were received
in the 12 month period to 31 March 2021 (2020: $5.856m) along with additional capital of $23.500m (2020:
$20.136m) prior to issue expenses. Net cash outflows from operating activities for the 12 month period to 31 March
2021 were $13.570m (2020: $15.385m).
The Company obtained two significant commercial milestones during the period, which have increased Cash
Receipts from Customers for the twelve months to 31 March 2021, and will have a positive impact on future
revenues for the Company.
The first of these announced on 17th June 2020 was that the Company and US healthcare provider, Kaiser
Permanente, have reached agreement for the commercial use of Pacific Edge’s Cxbladder tests. Kaiser Permanente
is one of the largest non-profit healthcare providers in the United States of America (US), with over 12 million
members. It operates 39 hospitals and employs approximately 23,000 physicians, and is expected to drive
increased test numbers.
PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2021

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2021
The second of these announced on 3rd July 2020 was the positive LCD decision, resulting in the Company
receiving reimbursement for all Cxbladder Monitor and Detect tests performed after 1 July 2020 for patients
covered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) across the US that are deemed medically
necessary. Reimbursement for these tests is at the already determined national CMS price for Cxbladder of US
$760 per test. The CMS provides healthcare coverage for all US citizens over 65 years. CMS tests currently make
up approximately 42% of Pacific Edge’s current Commercial Tests in the US, with Medicare Advantage tests
comprising a further 25% of current Commercial Tests in the US.
The obtainment of these commercial milestones have had, and will continue to have a significant positive impact
on the Company’s financial position. The Company also continues to progress commercial negotiations with
targeted large scale health organisations in the US and whilst these negotiations are taking longer than expected
to complete, the Company continues to make good progress with these negotiations. The Board of Directors has
reviewed the forecasts of the Group and are satisfied that based on their review, there will be adequate cash flows
generated from operating and financing activities to meet the obligations of the Group for at least twelve months
from signing the financial statements.

The financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries of Pacific Edge Limited as at 31
March 2021 and for the year then ended. All subsidiaries have the same balance date as the Company of 31 March.
Pacific Edge Limited consolidates all entities over which Pacific Edge Limited has control. Control is achieved when
the Group:
• Has power to direct the activities of the entity;
• Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from involvement with the entity; and
• Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
Subsidiaries which form part of the Group are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the
Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. The
consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities
incurred and the equity interest issued by the Group.
The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent
consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at
the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in
the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2021
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
In preparing these financial statements, the Group made estimates and assumptions concerning the future.
These estimates and assumptions may differ from the subsequent actual results. Estimates and assumptions are
continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations or future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The main estimates and assumptions used are in relation to revenue from Cxbladder tests in the US detailed in
Note 5, and the going concern assumption which is further assessed in Note 1 above.
There has been a change in a Critical Accounting Estimate for commercial test revenue recognised in the US, which
has resulted in Operating Revenue increasing by $973,000 for the reporting period ending 31 March 21. This is
detailed in Note 5.
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 2020.
2. NEW STANDARDS
New and Amended Standards Adopted by the Group
The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period
commencing 1 April 2020.
- Definition of Material - amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8
- Definition of a Business - amendments to IFRS 3
- Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – amendments to NZ IFRS 9, NZ IAS 39 and NZ IFRS 7
- Revised New Zealand Equivalent for Financial Reporting
New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted by the Group
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 March
2021 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the group. These standards are not expected to have a
material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
(a) Basic
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit (or loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year excluding ordinary shares purchased
by the Company (Note 18).

(b) Diluted
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding to
assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group’s dilutive potential ordinary shares are in the
form of share options. As the Group made a loss during the current year and losses cannot be diluted, basic and
diluted earnings per share are the same.

4. LABORATORY THROUGHPUT AND COMMERCIAL TESTS –
NON-GAAP REPORTING
Laboratory Throughput is a key metric for the Group: Laboratory Throughput provides evidence of the usage
of Cxbladder products globally. The inclusion of this non-GAAP reporting is considered helpful to readers of
these accounts, as it allows readers to compare the current period to prior periods and assess usage trends on a
consistent basis. Total laboratory throughput includes commercial tests, which are invoiced to customers (including
tests for patients covered by the US government’s medical program through the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS)), and tests which are not considered to be commercial as these tests relate to Research
Tests or other nonchargeable activities.
Commercial Test numbers are also a key metric for the Group: Commercial Tests are those tests for which the
Company is actively seeking reimbursement and cash receipts, and tests performed at no charge in order to gain
new customers. The inclusion of this non-GAAP reporting is considered helpful to readers of these accounts as it
allows readers to compare the current period to prior periods and assess trends on a consistent basis.
Laboratory Throughput and Commercial Tests per financial year are shown below.

Change in Commercial Tests from previous year (%)-5%6%
Total Laboratory Throughput and Commercial Test numbers reduced during the year when compared to the prior
year due to the impact of Covid-19. The impact of this was seen in the first half of the year with volumes down
16% for both Total Laboratory Throughput and Commercial Tests when compared to the prior year, while Total
Laboratory Throughput and Commercial Test numbers were up up 3% and 6% respectively for the second half of
the year when compared to the prior corresponding period.
5. REVENUE
Background information on US customers and the payment process
A physician orders a Cxbladder test when a patient presents to their clinic with symptoms that indicate the
possibility of bladder cancer. The most common and significant symptom is haematuria or blood in their urine.
A urine sample is collected from the patient and sent in the Cxbladder Urine Sampling System to the Group’s
laboratory in the US or in New Zealand. The Group receives and processes the urine sample and returns the results
of the test back to the ordering physician. The individual patient is the Group’s customer, however typically in the
US market, the patient’s insurer may pay the Group for some or all of the cost of the test.
When a physician orders a Cxbladder test, the Group has an obligation to perform the test and report the results to
the ordering physician irrespective of the patient’s insurance contract. A patient may have private insurance cover,
be covered by the US government’s medical program through CMS, self cover or have no insurance cover.
Once the Cxbladder test has been completed, all information required for insurance purposes is sent to the Group’s
billing and reimbursement agent to begin the process to collect reimbursement from any applicable insurance
company/ies for the Cxbladder test performed.
For patients with private insurance cover, the relevant patient and test order information will be sent to their
insurance provider. When the Group does not have an individual agreement with that insurance provider to pay
for Cxbladder tests (“out of network”), the insurance provider will assess that individual patient’s test for medical
necessity and the level of insurance cover (if any) available to cover the cost of the test.
PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2021

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2021
This process of assessment can take many months to work through before the Group receives payments (if any)
from the insurance company. The Group does have agreements with some insurance providers but these currently
cover a small proportion of the Group’s customers.
For patients covered by CMS, invoices are sent to CMS. Prior to 3 July 2020, Pacific Edge was not included in the
Local Coverage Determination (LCD) and as a result, did not normally receive any amounts for tests performed
for patients covered by CMS. On 3 July 2020, Pacific Edge received notice of inclusion in the LCD, resulting in
the Company receiving reimbursement for Cxbladder Monitor and Detect tests performed after 1 July 2020 for
patients covered by the CMS across the US that are deemed medically necessary.
For uninsured patients, the Group has no certainty of when or if the patient will pay.
Rest of World Customers
Revenue from Rest of World customers is primarily from the District Health Boards (DHBs) in New Zealand. In all
Rest Of World locations, there is a clearly defined contract with the customer meeting the requirements of NZ IFRS
15. Pacific Edge Diagnostics New Zealand Limited has individual contracts with DHBs across New Zealand and
revenue is recognised as described on the following pages.
Critical Accounting Estimate
The application of NZ IFRS 15: Revenue from contracts with customers (NZ IFRS 15) requires the application of
significant judgement in determining whether the Group meets the five key criteria identified in NZ IFRS 15, which
allows revenue to be recognised as performance obligations are satisfied. For the Group this would result in some
revenue recognised in advance of the receipt of cash.
The significant judgements adopted by the Group relate to :
- Determining if a contract with the customer exists;
- Identifying the rights of each party;
- Identifying the payment terms;
- Ensuring the contract has commercial substance; and
- Determining whether it is probable that the Group will collect the consideration to which it is entitled.
Within the five criteria, significant judgement is applied in determining the Transaction Price to apply to the
transaction, and also the probability of payment. Further information on the Significant Judgements applied are
included in the Accounting Policy relating to Revenue from Cxbladder tests.
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Revenue from Cxbladder tests
The Group performs Cxbladder tests when requested by a patient’s physician. At the point the test results are
returned to the physician, the Group has satisfied its performance obligation and has the right to issue an invoice.
The Group has determined a contract exists, and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial
substance and the rights of each party have been identified.
For the prior comparative period (31 March 2020) the Group had judged it is not probable that any consideration
will be received from CMS as inclusion in the LCD with the CMS had not at the time been obtained. For customers
covered by private insurance, or with no insurance cover, the Group could not reliably estimate both the probability
and size of payment to be received. The Group therefore recognised Operating Revenue from the US when cash
was received, with no revenue accrual for tests performed but unpaid at balance date.
On the 3 July 2020, Pacific Edge received notice of inclusion in the LCD, resulting in the Company receiving
reimbursement for Cxbladder Monitor and Detect tests performed after 1 July 2020 for patients covered by
the CMS across the US that are deemed medically necessary. Reimbursement for these tests is at the already
determined national CMS price for Cxbladder of US$760 per test.
Since Cxbladder’s inclusion in the LCD, based on historical data, the Group has been able to reliably estimate both
the probability and size of payment received from the CMS for patients with Medicare. The inclusion within the LCD
combined with the growing support for the use of Cxbladder within the US has also allowed the Group to reliably
estimate both the probability and size of payment received from customers covered by Medicare Advantage
policies provided by private insurers.
PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2021
12
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2021
Tests performed for patients covered by other private policies, or tests performed for those with no insurance
cover continue to be recognised as revenue when cash is received due to not being able to reliably estimate both
probability and size of payment received.
The Group has concluded that the contracts with the CMS and customers covered by Medicare Advantage include
variable consideration. The amounts paid by Medicare may be subject to a refund if the Group was subject to an
audit by CMS in the future and tests were identified which were not medically necessary. The commercial health
insurance carriers that provide Medicare Advantage may pay an amount less than our standard rates if a patient
has an unused deductible limit, or may not pay at all if the insurer identifies the test was not medically necessary.
Variable consideration attributable to these price concessions is measured at the expected value, and is determined
by using historical average collection rates by test type and payor category taking into consideration the range of
possible outcomes and the predictive value of our past experience. Such variable consideration is included in the
transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue
recognised will not occur.
A refund liability of $29,000 has been recognised to allow for tests that have been paid to the Group which are
subsequently required to be refunded as a result of internal reviews undertaken by that payer. The estimation of the
appropriate allowance has been made by reviewing historical data of the Group.
As a result of the Significant Judgements applied, the Group have determined the criteria under NZ IFRS 15 which
allows revenue to be recognised in advance of the receipt of cash have been met, and the Group has recognised
revenue for tests which were performed between 1 July 2020 and 31 March 2021 for CMS and Medicare Advantage
at the point in time the tests were completed. This has resulted in an increase to operating revenue and receivables
of $973,000.
Rest of World revenue recognition from tests performed
There has been no change in accounting policy or estimates for Operating Revenue for the Rest of World. The
Group performs Cxbladder tests when requested by a patient’s physician in New Zealand, Australia and Singapore.
At the point the test results are returned to the physician, the Group has satisfied its performance obligations have
been met and an invoice is issued to the customer. Revenue is recognised when the invoice is issued.
OTHER INCOME
Grant Income
Government Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the
conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received. Government Grants are recognised in Other
Income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group
recognises the related costs as expenses, for which the grants are intended to compensate.
The Company receives grants from Callaghan Innovation for postgraduate internships and summer students.
New Zealand Trade and Enterprise awarded the Company an International Growth Fund grant, to support the
growth of the Group’s commercial and marketing operations in the US. The grant commenced on 17 August 2020
and runs until 16 August 2023. New Zealand Trade and Enterprise reimburses the Company for 50 percent of
eligible expenditure up to a maximum of NZ$600,000.
All conditions of the grants have been complied with.
Research Rebates and Tax Incentives
- New Zealand R&D Tax Incentive (RDTI)
The New Zealand RDTI is a 15% tax credit on the money invested in eligible research and development (R&D) that
has occurred in New Zealand. As the New Zealand companies are in a tax loss position, the Group is eligible for the
Tax Incentive to be refunded.
The RDTI is recognised at its fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the credit will be received and
the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
All conditions of the New Zealand RDTI have been complied with. Payment will be received after submission of
each annual research and development tax claim.

UNRECOGNISED REVENUE
Approximately 40% of Cxbladder tests performed by the Group in the US up to 30 June 2020 relate to patients
covered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The Group invoiced CMS for tests performed
for all patients with CMS coverage, however no revenue from these tests has been recognised.
The Company is in discussion with Novitas Solutions Inc who administer the health insurance for the CMS seeking
reimbursement for tests performed prior to 30 June 2020 for patients covered by the CMS.
Tests performed for CMS since commencement of the Cxbladder test being used up to 30 June 2020 total 22,634.
While negotiations are in progress, there is no certainty that any payment will be received by the Group for these
tests and as a result, no revenue has been recognised for the tests performed prior to 30 June 2020.

6. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Research is the original and planned investigation undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific
knowledge and understanding. This includes: direct and overhead expenses for diagnostic and prognostic
biomarker discovery and research; pre-clinical trials; and costs associated with clinical trial activities. All research
costs are expensed when incurred.
Development is the application of research findings to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially
improved processes or products prior to the commencement of commercial production.
When a project reaches the stage where it is probable that future expenditure can be recovered through the
process or products produced, expenditure that is directly attributed or reasonably allocated to that project is
recognised as a development asset within intangible assets. If the expenditure also benefits processes or products
for which it cannot be recovered, it will be expensed. The asset will be amortised from the date of commencement
of commercial production of the product to which it relates on a straight-line basis over the period of expected
benefit. Development assets are reviewed annually for any impairment in their carrying value.

Employee Share Scheme
The Company has an Employee Share Scheme where ordinary shares in the Company may be issued to selected
employees to recognise performance or a significant contribution to the Company. These shares may be issued
in lieu of a cash bonus or in addition to the employee’s remuneration. The ordinary shares are issued directly to
the employee and the Company accounts for the cost of the shares. The shares are allocated to the employee on
the date that the Board approves the issue of the share capital. All employees who hold ordinary shares in the
Company must comply with the Company’s Share Trading Policy.
The issuance of ordinary shares to employees is treated as equity settled share-based payments. Equity-settled
share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date
based on the market price at the time of issuance. The fair value of shares granted is recognised as an employee
expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when the shares are issued. During the 2021 financial year,
645,000 (2020: 754,000) ordinary shares were issued to employees as part of the Employee Share Scheme. The
associated non-cash cost of these shares was $284,000 (2020: $163,000). Refer to Note 18 for further details on
the shares issued during the financial year.
Employee Share Option Scheme
The Board believes that the issue of share options provides an appropriate incentive for participating employees
to grow the total shareholder return of the Company. Share options are issued to selected employees to recognise
performance or contribution to the Company or as a long-term component of remuneration in accordance with the
Group’s remuneration policy.
The Company has two categories of Share Options which are outlined below:
Performance Options
Performance Options are issued to selected employees to recognise performance or a significant contribution
to the Company. Performance Options entitle the holder, on payment of the exercise price, to one ordinary share
in the capital of the Company. The exercise price of the granted options is determined using the fair value of the
PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2021
16
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2021
Company’s share price at the time of the options being granted. Performance Options vest immediately and there
is no service requirement linked to the options or any other vesting conditions. The term in which options may be
exercised, and ultimately lapse if not exercised, is ten years.
Incentive Options
Incentive Options are issued to selected employees as a long-term component of remuneration in accordance
with the Group’s remuneration policy. Incentive Options entitle the holder, on payment of the exercise price, to one
ordinary share in the capital of the Company.
The exercise price of the granted options is determined using the fair value of the Company’s share price at the
time of the options being granted. Incentive Options vest over three years and there is a requirement to remain
as an employee of the Company in order for the options to vest. Tranches of options are exercisable over four to
ten years from the relevant vesting date. No options can be exercised later than the tenth anniversary of the final
vesting date.
ACCOUNTING POLICY
All options are accounted for as equity settled share based payments as the Group has no legal or constructive
obligation to repurchase or settle either the Performance Options or the Incentive Options in cash. The fair value
of all options granted is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income over their vesting
period, with a corresponding increase in the employee share option reserve.
The fair value is determined at the grant date of the options and expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting
period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase
in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revisits its estimate of the number of equity instruments
expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding
adjustment to the share based payments reserve.
During the year, there were 3,636,000 share options exercised resulting in an increase in share capital of
$2,636,000 (2020: nil). Refer to note 18 for further details on the share options that were exercised.

The significant inputs into the Black-Scholes valuation model were the market share price at grant date, the
exercise price shown below, the expected annualised volatility of 50-60%, a dividend yield of 0%, an expected
option life of between one and ten years and an annual risk-free interest rate of between 0.9% and 4.71%.
The volatility measured is the standard deviation of continuously compounded share returns and is based on a
statistical analysis of daily share prices in the past one to ten years.

13. PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Property, Plant and Equipment are those assets held by the Group for the purpose of carrying on its business
activities on an ongoing basis. All Property, Plant and Equipment is stated at cost less subsequent accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost of purchased assets includes the original purchase
consideration given to acquire the assets, and the value of other directly attributable costs that have been
incurred in bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for their intended service. This includes the
laboratory equipment for the establishment of the laboratories.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the net proceeds with the carrying amount and are
recognised within the Statement of Comprehensive Income when they occur.
Depreciation
Depreciation of plant and equipment is based on writing off the assets over their useful lives, using the straight line
(SL) and diminishing value (DV) basis.
Main rates used are:
Plant and Laboratory Equipment 5% to 40% DV
Computer Equipment 5% to 60% DV
Leasehold Improvements 10% SL
Furniture and Fittings 5% to 25% DV
The assets’ useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

14. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Intellectual Property
The costs of acquired Intellectual Property are recognised at cost. All Intellectual Property has a finite life.
The carrying value of Intellectual Property is reviewed for impairment, where indicators of impairment exist.
Amortisation is charged on a diminishing value basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets (1-20
years). The estimated useful life and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
The following costs associated with Intellectual Property are expensed as incurred during the research phases of
a project and are only capitalised when incurred as part of the development phase of a process or product within
development assets: Internal Intellectual Property costs including the costs of patents and patent application.
Software Development Costs
Costs associated with the development of software are held at cost. Amortisation is charged on a diminishing value
basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets (2-10 years). The estimated useful life and amortisation
method is reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
Cxblader Development Costs
Costs associated with the development of Cxbladder products are held at cost. Amortisation is charged on a
diminishing value basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets (20 years). The estimated useful life
and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer who makes strategic
decisions.
There are two operating segments at balance date:
1. Commercial: The sales, marketing, laboratory and support operations to run the commercial businesses worldwide.
2. Research: The research and development of diagnostic and prognostic products for human cancer.
The reportable operating segment Commercial derives its revenue primarily from sales of Cxbladder tests and
the reportable operating segment Research derives its revenue primarily from grant income. The Chief Executive
Officer assesses the performance of the operating segments based on net (loss) for the period.
Segment income, expenses and profitability are presented on a gross basis excluding inter-segment eliminations
to best represent the performance of each segment operating as independent business units. The segment
information provided to the Chief Executive Officer for the reportable segment described above for the year ended
31 March 2021 is shown on the next page.

16. INCOME TAX
ACCOUNTING POLICY
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income
or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity,
respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the
balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable
tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts
expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements in accordance with NZ
IAS 12. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be
available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by
the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the
deferred income tax liability is settled.

Tax Losses
The group has losses to carry forward of approximately $94,400,000 (2020: $84,000,000) with a potential tax
benefit of $21,500,000 (2020: $18,000,000). The tax losses are split between the following jurisdictions:

Australia 1,800 500 30%
Singapore 1,000 200 17%
United States 69,800 14,700 21%
Tax losses are available to be carried forward and offset against future taxable income subject to the various
conditions required by income tax legislation being complied with.
Deferred Research and Development Tax Expenditure
The Group also has deferred research and development tax expenditure of $42,200,000 (2020: $39,600,000) to
carry forward and claim for income tax purposes in New Zealand in the future. This has a tax effect of $11,900,000
(2020: $11,100,000). The deferred research and development tax expenditure can either be carried forward and
offset against future income arising from the research and development, or subject to meeting the shareholder
continuity requirements can be offset against future other taxable income.
Deferred Tax Assets
The Group does not recognise a deferred tax asset in the Balance Sheet.

19. FOREIGN CURRENCY
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Foreign Currency Transactions
The individual financial statements of the Group are presented in the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the Group financial
statements, the results and financial position of the Group entity are expressed in New Zealand dollars (‘NZ$’),
which is the functional currency of the Parent and the presentation currency for the Group financial statements.
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s
functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are
retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Non monetary items denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the date the transaction occurs.
Exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they arise.
Foreign Operations
For the purpose of presenting the Group financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign
operations are expressed in New Zealand dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting
period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange
rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions
are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated as
a separate component of equity in the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve. Such exchange differences
are reclassified from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) in the period in which the foreign
operation is disposed of.
Foreign Currency Translation Reserve
Exchange differences relating to the translation from the functional currencies of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries into
New Zealand dollars are brought to account by entries made directly to the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve.

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Foreign Currency Transactions
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits, receivables, security deposits, finance
lease liabilities and trade creditors. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual
policy statements associated with each item.
Managing Financial Risk
The Group’s activities expose it to the financial risks of changes in interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and
foreign currency risk.
Management is of the opinion that the Company and Group’s exposure to market risk during the period and at
balance date is defined as:
Risk FactorDescription
(i) Currency riskFinancial assets and financial liabilities are denominated in NZD, USD, AUD, SGD and
EUR currencies
(ii) Interest rate risk Exposure to changes in Bank interest rates resulting in cashflow interest rate risk
(iii) Other price riskNot applicable as no securities are bought, sold or traded
(i) Foreign Currency Risk
The Group faces the risk of movements in foreign currency exchange rates in relation to the New Zealand dollar.
The Group has significant operations in United States Dollars and less significant operations in Australian dollars,
Euros and Singapore dollars. As a result of this, the financial performance and financial position are impacted by
movements in exchange rates.
The Group manages foreign currency risk by purchasing overseas goods only when necessary and when foreign
exchanges are favourable. It will also purchase foreign currency to fund overseas operations based on cash flow
forecasts where it can maximise value. There are no formal foreign currency hedges entered into.
A 10% increase or decrease in the foreign currency against the NZD will reduce/increase the loss reported by
approximately $130,000 (2020: $40,000) and increase/reduce equity by the same amount.
(ii) Interest Rate Risk
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from its cash and equivalents, and short term deposits. Cash and equivalents
comprise cash on hand and deposits at call with banks. Short term deposits comprise of term deposits placed with
New Zealand banks on fixed rates for different periods of time.
Management regularly review its banking arrangements to ensure it achieves the best returns on its funds while
maintaining access to necessary liquidity levels to service the Group’s day-to-day activities. The mixture of bank
deposits at floating interest rates and short term deposits at different rates over various periods of time mitigate
the risk of interest rates being received at less than market rates. The Group does not enter into interest rate
hedges.
A 1% increase or decrease in bank deposit interest rates will reduce/increase the loss reported by approximately
$219,000 and increase/reduce equity by the same amount (2020: $131,000).
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligations.
The Group incurs credit risk from:
a) Cash and short term deposits;
b) Receivables in the normal course of its business; and
c) Other assets.
PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2021

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2021
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk other than bank deposits with 43.7% of total assets at the
ANZ, 19.0% at Heartland Bank, 10.3% at Bank of New Zealand , and 2.6% at Wells Fargo. The Group’s cash and short
term deposits are placed with high credit quality financial institutions including major banks who have at least a
BBB credit rating.
Regular monitoring of receivables is undertaken to ensure that the credit exposure remains within the Group’s
normal terms of trade. These receivables balances mainly relate to New Zealand customers, and the Australian
Government. Refer to note 10 for further details on expected credit losses for receivables.
The Group continues to invoice for every billable test completed in the US, and the billing and reimbursement
process continues to maximise the cash that is received by the Group. The Group has included an accrual for
tests performed from 1 July 2020 (date at which Cxbladder was included within the LCD and reimbursement
commenced) to 31 March 2021 for which payment has not been received by 31 March 2020.
Regular monitoring of other assets is undertaken to ensure that the credit exposure is limited. This is firstly done
by determining the credit risk before making security deposits on leased properties and ensuring suppliers are not
paid in advance where there is uncertainty in relation to their credit worthiness.
The carrying values of financial assets represent the maximum exposure to credit risk as represented below:

23. FINANCE AND OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS
ACCOUNTING POLICY
In 2020, the Group has changed its accounting policy for leases and has adopted NZ IFRS 16 Leases.
The group leased various properties and equipment. Rental contracts vary depending on the type of asset
being leases. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and
conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for
borrowing purposes.
Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Group allocates the consideration in the
contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices.
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is
PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2021
34
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2021
available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance
cost is charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the lease period to produce a constant periodic
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over
the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
(i) Measurement basis
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the
net present value of the following lease payments:
• Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
• Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;
• Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
• The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
• Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of
the liability.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily
determined, which is generally the case for leases in the group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used. The
incremental borrowing rate is the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary
to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms,
security and conditions.
To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group:
• Where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to
reflect changes in financing conditions since third-party financing was received;
• Uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by Pacific
Edge Limited, which does not have recent third-party financing; and
• Makes adjustments specific to the lease, e.g. term, country, currency and security.
The group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are
not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or
rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the Statement
of Comprehensive Income over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining
balance of the liability for each period.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
• The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
• Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date;
• Any initial direct costs; and
• Restoration costs.
Right-of-Use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on
a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the Right-of-Use asset
is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life. While the Group revalues its land and buildings that are
presented within property, plant and equipment, it has chosen not to do so for the right-of-use buildings held by
the Group.
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis
as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets
include IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

securities in respect of liabilities payable by any other party whatsoever.
b) Capital Commitments
There are no capital commitments at 31 March 2021 (March 2020: Nil).
25. COVID-19
Covid-19 has had an impact on the throughput, revenue and expenses of the Group.
In the markets the Group operates in, measures have been employed by Governments in an attempt to limit
the spread of the virus. This has restricted the ability for people to visit clinics and have tests performed for
the occurrence of bladder cancer. This resulted in reduced throughput quantities for the Group for the twelve
months ended 31 March 2021 (94% of the prior corresponding twelve months ended 31 March 2020). The most
significant reduction in throughput was seen in the six months to 30 September 2020, with throughput 84% of the
throughput for the six months to 30 September 2019. The six months to 31 March 2021 has shown an improvement,
with throughput numbers 103% of the prior corresponding six months to 31 March 2020.
Offsetting the reduced throughput from patients visiting clinics has been increased adoption of the unique in-
home sampling system which allows patients to perform tests at home, with the results provided to their urologist.
The Group has also seen increased sales activity with institutions as they seek alternative methods to treat their
patients remotely.
The Group has been able to reduce costs to offset income reductions, and has also received support in the form of
Covid-19 relief packages from the Governments in New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and the US.

Description of the key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Determining if a transaction price
exists for US revenue recognition
The application of NZ IFRS 15: Revenue
from contracts with customers (NZ IFRS
15) requires the Directors to apply
significant judgement in determining
whether revenue can be recognised in
advance of the receipt of cash.
The Company has two material United
States (US) revenue streams:
1) Coverage via Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS), and
2) Private Insurance.
The significant judgements adopted by the
Directors in applying NZ IFRS 15 criteria
include determining:
if a contract with the customer exists;
the rights of each party;
payment terms;
whether the contract has commercial
substance; and
whether it is probable that the entity
will collect the consideration to which
it is entitled.
In 2020 the above criteria were not met in
full. The Company has previously
experienced significant variability in the
price it receives for its tests and has not
had sufficient certainty over whether it
would be paid for tests performed. Hence
US revenue was recognised upon receipt
of cash.
In July 2020, the Company received Local
Coverage Determination (“LCD”) for CMS.
This determination created a set price for
the Company’s tests of US$760 per test
from July 2020. This establishes a clear
transaction price for the tests. This
transaction price, along with a history of
payment, satisfies the NZ IFRS
requirements for revenue recognition.
Our audit procedures included the following:
We obtained an understanding of management's
processes and controls for the CMS and Private
Insurance US revenue streams.
To assist in our understanding, we obtained the SOC1
System and Organization Controls Report for the
external billing reimbursement service organisation.
We evaluated management's determination of whether
a contract with customers existed by:
Inspecting documentation supporting the
contractual process and basis for engagement of
patients (customers) in the US;
Discussing the process for engaging patients with
New Zealand and US based management to
reconfirm the facts that support an accrual or
cash-based revenue recognition conclusion;
Assessing the supporting documentation provided
by management to illustrate the variation in
payment terms by customer;
Assessing the data supporting the change in
revenue recognition for CMS and Medicare
Advantage to confirm that the transaction price
can be determined, and collectability is probable;
Performing subsequent receipt testing to validate
the probability of collection;
Considering the payment terms and the probability
of recovery of outstanding balances based on the
history of past collections. This included assessing
management's conclusion on whether it is
probable that the entity will collect the
consideration; and
Evaluating the application of NZ IFRS 15 against
technical guidance and the accounting standards.
We have no matters to report from the procedures
performed above.

Accordingly, US derived revenue for tests
performed from 1 July 2020 to 31 March
2021 for CMS and Medicare Advantage
has been recognised in advance of cash
being received. Revenue for these
customers is recognised when the tests
are performed.
All other US derived revenue is accounted
for on a cash receipts basis as disclosed
in Note 5.
Due to the significance of the judgements
applied by the Directors, we determined
this area to be a key audit matter.
Our audit approach
Overview
Overall group materiality: $240,000, which represents 1% of total
expenses.
We chose total expenses as the benchmark because, in our view, given
the losses incurred to date and the current focus on revenue growth, in
our judgement, total expenses provides a more stable basis for
calculating materiality, and is a generally accepted benchmark.
We selected transactions and balances to audit based on their materiality
to the Group rather than determining the scope of procedures to perform
by auditing only specific subsidiaries or business units.
As reported above, we have one key audit matter, being:
Determining if a transaction price exists for US revenue recognition.
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material
misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In particular, we considered where
management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates
that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. 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.

Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material
misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if,
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality,
including the overall Group materiality for the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements as a whole.
How we tailored our group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an
opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the
Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.
Other information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual report but does not include the consolidated financial statements
and our auditor's report thereon. The Annual report is expected to be made available to us after the
date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will
not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material
misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the Directors and use our
professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial statements
The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of
the consolidated 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 consolidated financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the
Group’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 Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent auditor’s report
To the Shareholders of Pacific Edge Limited
Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pacific Edge Limited (the
Company), including its subsidiaries (the Group), present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Group as at 31 March 2021, 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).
What we have audited
The Group's consolidated financial statements comprise:
the balance sheet as at 31 March 2021;
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 consolidated financial statements, which include significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information.
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 consolidated 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.
Independence
We are independent of the Group 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 other services for the Group in the area of half year review procedures. The
provision of these other services has not impaired our independence as auditor of the Group.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed
in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is
located at the External Reporting Board’s website at:
https://www.xrb.govt.nz/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/
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 Maxwell John
Dixon.
