1. General information
Me Today Limited (‘MTL’ or ‘the Company’) is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in
New Zealand. The address of the company’s registered office is Level 1, 25 Broadway, Newmarket,
Auckland 1141.
The financial statements presented are for Me Today Limited and its subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’).
Details of subsidiary companies and their principal activities are set out in note 17.
The Group produces, sells, and markets health and wellbeing products or act as an agent on behalf of
other health and wellbeing suppliers. With the acquisition of King Honey Limited (‘King Honey’) on 30 June
2021 the Group also produces premium manuka honey.
2. Basis of preparation
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30
September 2021 have been prepared in accordance New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice (‘NZ GAAP’), with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34: Interim
Financial Reporting (‘NZ IAS 34’) and with International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial
Reporting (‘IAS 34’).
Me Today Limited is a company registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is an FMC reporting entity
under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is listed on the NZX Market. These financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct
Act 2013 and the NZX Main Board Listing Rules.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the notes of the type
normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements included in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2021 which have been
prepared in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘NZ
IFRS’) and International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars which is
the Company’s functional and presentation currency, rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The comparative information as
at 31 March 2021 is audited.
2.1. Basis of measurement
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis,
except for biological assets which are measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair
value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
2.2. Impact of COVID-19 and going concern
The international impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the extended lockdown of Auckland since 17 August
2021 and the various levels of lockdown across the rest of New Zealand since that date, have impacted
the Group’s performance during the interim period. While the Group has continued to make significant
progress, the restrictions on pharmacies during lockdown and the lack of tourists to New Zealand have
reduced domestic sales, and the ongoing closure of New Zealand’s borders have slowed the Group’s
ability to develop international markets and interact with existing customers.
The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on trade receivables, impairment losses or
inventory provisioning.
The directors have concluded that the Group will be able to continue operating for at least 12 months from
the date of signing these financial statements. The Group incurred a loss of $2.77 million in the six months
to 30 September 2021 (six months to 30 September 2020: $1.26 million loss). Forecast sales from the
recently acquired King Honey are lower than anticipated, as previously notified to the NZX market.

Ongoing sales are anticipated to recover in the next financial year as King Honey’s China distributor sells
down its current inventory levels and once again increases its purchasing of King Honey products.
On 26 November 2021 the Group entered into a share placement subscription agreement (refer note 22.2)
which, subject to shareholder approval, will provide the Group with an additional $6 million in funding
through the issue of share capital. This additional funding will assist the Group meet its operational and
working capital funding requirements over the next 18 months while it focuses on growth.
The Board has concluded that, with this agreement for additional capital and given the anticipated trading
outcome, the Group will be able to continue operating for at least 12 months from the date of signing these
financial statements.
3. Changes in Significant Accounting Policies
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting
policies and methods of computation detailed in the audited financial statements for the year ended 31
March 2021, except for the new additional accounting policies detailed below which have been
implemented in response to the acquisition of King Honey. For details of the accounting policies for the
year ended 31 March 2021 please refer to the 2021 Annual Report.
3.1. Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred
in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date
fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of
the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree.
Acquisition related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their
fair value at the acquisition date, except that deferred tax assets or liabilities, and liabilities related to
employee benefit arrangements, are recognised and measured in accordance with NZ IAS 12 Income
Taxes and NZ IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred over the net of the
acquisition‑date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in
which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the
accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period or
additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and
circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts
recognised as of that date. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional
information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition
date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
3.2. Goodwill
Goodwill that arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and other business combinations is measured at
cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment
testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash‑generating units (or groups of cash‑generating
units) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash‑generating units to which goodwill
has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that
the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash‑generating unit is less than the carrying
amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill
allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro‑rata on the basis of the carrying amount of
each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

3.3. Inventories
The deemed cost for the Group’s agricultural produce (honey) inventory is fair value at harvest date less
estimated point-of-sale costs. Fair value is determined by reference to market prices for honey. Point-of-
sale costs include all costs that would be necessary to sell the assets.
3.4. Biological assets
Biological assets consist of bees (including queens).
Biological assets are measured at fair value less point-of-sale costs, with any change therein recognised
in the profit or loss. Point-of-sale costs include all costs that would be necessary to sell the assets. The fair
value of biological assets is assessed on an annual basis post-harvest, which involves reviewing the
number of operational hives in use and referencing market prices for hives.
3.5. Biological work in progress
Biological work in progress consists of unharvested honey.
Biological assets are measured at fair value less point-of-sale costs, with any change therein recognised
in the profit or loss. Point-of-sale costs include all costs that would be necessary to sell the assets.
The growth in the biological work in progress in the period from harvest to 30 September 2021 cannot be
reliably measured at fair value due to the variables in hive growth and honey production between 1 April
2021 and reporting date. Therefore, as required under NZ IAS 41, the cost of agricultural activity
(beekeeping costs) in the period to 30 September has been capitalised as biological work in progress to
account for this growth.
Agricultural produce (honey) from biological assets is transferred to inventory at fair value, by reference to
market prices for honey less estimated point-of-sale costs, at the date of harvest. The biological work in
progress is transferred to inventory as part of this fair value recognition at each harvest, which occurs at
least annually.
3.6. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values, over their useful
lives using the diminishing value method. The following depreciation rates are used in the calculation:
Plant, vehicles and equipment 6% - 67%
Office equipment and furniture 10% - 50%
Leasehold improvements 6% - 25%

6. Segment information
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports reviewed and used by the
Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM’), being the Board of Directors, in assessing the Group’s
performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
The Group produces, sells, and markets health and wellbeing products (‘sale of goods’ segment) or acts
as an agent on behalf of other health and wellbeing suppliers (‘agency services’ segment). With the
acquisition of King Honey Limited (‘King Honey’) on 30 June 2021 the Group also produces and sells
premium manuka honey (‘honey’ segment).
Unallocated operating expenses include head office costs and costs related to the NZX listing.
All operations are carried out in New Zealand.
6.1. Seasonal and cyclical influences
The Group’s honey production operations have seasonal influences. Over winter, hives are downsized
and operating costs are primarily spent on maintaining hives and operations. Honey production occurs
from early spring to late summer with the majority of honey harvest occurring from January to April.
Operating costs increase during the honey production and harvest months. Beekeeping costs are deferred
and recognised as biological work in progress up until harvest, at which point they are transferred to
inventory. Sales of honey occur throughout the year and the cost of honey sold is recognised at the same
time.
There are no seasonal or cyclical influences on the sale of goods or agency services operations.

14. Borrowings
The Group has two bank loans from the Bank of New Zealand. A customised average rate loan facility
(CARL) of $3,339,000 (31 March 2021: $nil) and a fixed rate loan of $4,763,000 (31 March 2021: $nil).
The loans were taken out on 30 June 2021 and are for five years, ending 29 June 2026. The loans are
secured over all property of Me Today Manuka Honey Limited, the parent company of King Honey Limited
and a subsidiary of Me Today Limited.
The CARL facility monthly repayments consist of a fixed principal repayment plus interest based on a
floating rate that is adjusted monthly. The average interest on the CARL facility rate during the reporting
period was 3.55%. Interest on the fixed rate loan is fixed at 2.51% and the loan is repaid by 60 monthly
instalments over the term of the loan.
Under the terms of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of King Honey it was agreed that
$5,000,000 of the purchase price would be left payable to the vendors as a subordinated note (refer note
16). The subordinated loan is repayable in three years from the acquisition date of 30 June 2021 with
interest of 4% payable annually in arrears. The note is secured over all property of Me Today Manuka
Honey Limited. This security interested ranks behind any security interest in favour of the Bank of New
Zealand pursuant to the bank loan agreements noted above, but ahead of any other indebtedness of Me
Today Manuka Honey Limited.
15. Share capital
On 14 June 2021 the Company issued 809,074 fully paid ordinary shares in the favour of BB Promotions
Limited, Sarah Walker and independent directors. Shares issued to BB Promotions Limited and Sarah
Walker are in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements for promotional services.
On 29 June 2021 Me Today issued 178,977,270 fully paid ordinary shares under a wholesale and retail
share offer to part fund the purchase of King Honey. On the same date a further 765,356 fully paid
ordinary shares were issued in favour of BB Promotions Limited and Sarah Walker.

16. Acquisition of subsidiaries

the issued share capital of King Honey Limited (‘King Honey’) thereby obtaining control of King Honey and
its subsidiaries, Pure Manuka NZ Limited, Bee Plus Manuka NZ Limited, Manuka Wellness Limited and
King Honey Health Products Limited. King Honey is one of New Zealand’s premium Manuka Honey
producers. Its subsidiaries are all non-trading. The King Honey business complements the Me Today
brand and the acquisition enables Me Today to expand its existing lifestyle, health and wellness
businesses.
16.1. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition
The amounts recognised in respect of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as at the
date of acquisition are as set out in the table below.

The fair value of the 113,636,364 ordinary shares issued as part of the consideration paid for King Honey
($10 million) was determined on the basis of the agreement between the parties supported by an
independent appraisal.
Acquisition related costs amount to $0.36million.
16.2. Provisional accounting for the acquisition
The initial accounting for the acquisition of King Honey has only been provisionally determined at the end
of the reporting period. The acquisition accounting is expected to be finalised by the next reporting date
and this may impact the fair value of net assets acquired. Potentially of most impact is the recognition of
identifiable intangible assets. For King Honey the most important customer relationship currently is the
partnership relating to the BEE+ brand. This brand is well established in the Chinese market with an
extensive reach created by the brand principal and distribution partner. In discussions with the BEE+
brand partner, Me Today has established that the distribution partner is holding a large amount of
inventory of BEE+ products in market in China. The amount of inventory is more than Me Today expected
as a result of enquiries through the due diligence carried out leading into the acquisition. Until further
discussions and investigations are completed, Me Today is unable to determine the fair value of these
distribution and customer agreements and accordingly is unable to recognise the related identifiable
intangible assets at this time.
16.3. Trading transactions
During the period, and prior to acquisition, the Group had no transactions with King Honey. Following the
acquisition of King Honey, transactions and balances due between companies in the Group have been
eliminated on consolidation.
16.4. Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group
King Honey contributed $1.25million revenue and $0.7million to the Group’s loss for the period between
the date of acquisition and the reporting date.
16.5. Goodwill
The provisional goodwill of $13.4million arising from the acquisition of King Honey consists of distribution
rights, other recurring revenue streams and relationships, which at this time have not been fair valued and
separately identified. The goodwill also relates to expected synergies, and the capability and expertise
developed within the acquired business.
16.5.1. Impairment testing for cash-generating units containing goodwill ("CGU")
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Group’s CGUs which represent the
lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. All
goodwill is currently allocated to the Honey segment.
The King Honey business was only 90 days post acquisition on 30 September 2021 and is still being
bedded in as the new honey harvest season starts and the sales strategy is executed. However, given the
unexpected delay in sales orders from the BEE+ brand distribution partner (refer note 16.2), the Board has
undertaken value in use impairment testing and reviewed sensitivity analysis relating to the carrying value
of the goodwill. The Board has concluded that the value in use impairment testing does not result in the
impairment of goodwill.

Value in use was determined by discounting the future cash flows generated from the continuing use of
the unit and were based on the following key assumptions:
Cash flows were projected on actual operating results, the 12 month budget, multi-year forecasts and
business plan.
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
A 5% reduction of total annual revenues across all years in the discounted cash flow analysis will lead to
the consideration of an impairment charge against goodwill.

29 November 2021
Me Today Limited (NZX: MEE) has released its unaudited group results for the six months ended 30
th
September 2021.
The result includes ninety days trading of the King Honey business since acquisition on 30 June 2021
together with six months trading for the Me Today Group.
The result for the group records net sales of $2.4m and net loss before tax of $2.8m.
The company advised the market on the 23rd of September that the largest customer relationship
for the King Honey business was the arrangement relating to the BEE+ Brand. In discussions with the
BEE+ brand manager and channel owner, Me Today established that sales would be lower than
expected due to the higher than anticipated inventory levels of BEE+ products in market in China.
Me Today has continued discussions with the Chinese channel partner in respect to future orders
post their reports of a successful 11.11 trading period which consumed a significant amount of their
inventory. However the group has not yet finalised forward orders for 2022. Given the uncertainty
around timing of these orders the company now expects sales for the 2022 financial year for King
Honey under the ownership of Me Today to be between $5m and $7m, which will create some
cashflow pressure.
In order to lessen the cashflow impact, the company’s major shareholders MTL Securities Limited
and the Jarvis Trust have agreed to invest additional cash of $6m through a share placement,
conditional upon shareholder approval at a meeting to be held in February 2022. The shares will be
issued at 8.8 cents per share, the same issue price for capital raised as part of the King Honey
acquisition and reflecting their respective shareholdings. MTL Securities has agreed to contribute
$3.75m and the Jarvis Trust $2.25m. It should be noted that there are no outstanding issues
between the parties.
With the commitment to increased investment by Jarvis Trust, the board of Me Today has accepted
a request to appoint a director to represent the trust’s interests. Accordingly, Richard Pearson will
be appointed to the board effective immediately. Richard has many years of experience in various
board roles and currently sits on the boards of Wellington Electricity, Envirowaste Limited, New
Image Limited and Dominion Salt Limited. In addition Richard has many connections in Asia and
China in particular. Richard will be a valued member of the board and he will be well placed to assist
the business in delivering to its strategy of international growth.
It should also be noted that the King Honey business incurs a significant portion of its annual costs in
the harvesting season from November through to April. Inventory is built up during this time, and at
the conclusion of the current harvest, honey inventory is expected to be approximately $20m at
wholesale value. Therefore while cash expenses are high a significant asset is being built.
In respect to underlying trading of each of the divisions the company advises as follows:
King Honey
• Through its brand principal and distribution partner King Honey launched BEE+ Lozenges mid
2021, early indications are that these have sold through well. Further BEE+ product
development continues with snaps, high-end Manuka honey and other honey related
products.
• The refresh of the SuperLife brand is complete with the new range now available for launch
in New Zealand and internationally. The refresh creates a clean fresh look for the brand and
allows SuperLife to expand its retail footprint both in bricks and mortar retail as well as
online.
• Through The Good Brand Company, the newly launched Superlife brand will be sold to
selected retailers around New Zealand.
• The SuperLife range has been accepted by a large customer in the United Kingdom who will
sell through online channels and a significant number of retail stores. Product is shipping in
December.
• The set-up of Superlife on Amazon in the United Kingdom and other selected markets is also
underway with launch on Amazon first quarter of 2022.
• Discussions are advanced with a distributor in Germany with an intended launch date in
market of February 2022.
• The business has developed relationships in the OEM space with some medium to long term
business relationships emerging from this work.
• The 2022 manuka honey season is underway with hives in the manuka flow in the North of
New Zealand. The company expects to have 18,500 hives placed through the full 2022
season.
Me Today
• Due to changes in the New Zealand Pharmacy channel driven by COVID-19 and increased
competition, the retail distribution agreement with Green Cross Health was reviewed. The
brand has now expanded its reach into other retailers including further expanding the
number of independent pharmacies stocking Me Today, launching Me Today into Chemist
Warehouse NZ stores, Hardy’s Health stores, as well as launching Me Today online with
Pharmacy Direct. Discussions with selected other retailers also continue.
• A range of five supplements and twelve skincare products are now stocked in over 90
Pharmacies in Ireland. Me Today’s distribution partner in Ireland is confident in further
expansion opportunities throughout 2022.
• Me Today was activated in Japan, from a brand perspective, throughout September and
October and launched in November 2021. The brand is being well accepted in this market
with Mash Beauty Co Lab, Me Today’s Japanese distributor already placing a second order.
• Nine TGA approved supplements and eleven skincare products have been formatted for the
Australian market and launched through Adore Beauty November 2021.
• Me Today will also launch a new Me Today Women’s Daily Essentials gift pack for Christmas
with stock on shelf early December 2021. New product development continues within the
existing core categories of supplements and skincare.
• The Me Today Manuka Honey range has been developed and negotiations are underway
with existing distribution partners for launch in the first quarter of 2022.
• Me Today continues to market actively through social media, radio and print and works
collaboratively with its ambassadors Beauden Barrett, Sarah Walker and Hannah Barrett
along with many other friends of the brand.
The Good Brand Company
• The Good Brand Company represents the Life Space, Artemis and Sleep Drops brands from a
sales perspective into Pharmacy and Health Stores nationwide. The Good Brand Company
continues to build its reputation as a reliable supplier to these channels.
