DUNEDIN, New Zealand – Cancer diagnostics company Pacific Edge (NZX, ASX: PEB) today announces
financial and operational results for the year to 31 March 2022 showing strong growth in the adoption of
its advanced genomic biomarker Cxbladder tests and early results suggesting initial traction can be
translated into faster growth.
It also announces new initiatives to drive the adoption of Cxbladder around the world. These include
increased investment in sales, marketing, innovation, and clinical evidence generation to advance the
case for the incorporation Cxbladder into globally relevant standards of care.
TEST VOLUMES
Total laboratory throughput (TLT) of Cxbladder for the year to 31 March 2022 rose 46% to 23,086 tests
from 15,814 tests in the prior financial year. Commercial test volumes increased 48% to 19,196, with the
increase reflecting the growing adoption of Cxbladder by physicians and healthcare organizations. These
results follow from the important milestones of obtain Medicare coverage and reimbursement from
Kaiser Permanente in 2020.
Pacific Edge Chief Executive Dr Peter Meintjes said: “In spite of the pandemic, the strong year-on-year
growth in Cxbladder test volumes demonstrates the value of Cxbladder to safely intensify or de-intensify
clinical workup for patients presenting with hematuria, resolve diagnostic dilemmas during hematuria
evaluation and monitor for the recurrence of urothelial cancer in post-treatment patients.
Company Announcement
26 May 2022
“Still, the last six months have been challenging. Restrictions in the healthcare sector have been more
severe and longer lasting than those imposed on the community at large, and this has limited engagement
with physicians ordering the tests and the organizations paying for them. It has also prevented patients
from engaging with their clinicians.
“With the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, the virus becoming endemic in our target markets, and recent
sales and marketing recruits beginning to hit their stride, we are seeing volumes begin to accelerate.
“Average weekly test throughput in the US from the start of April to last week were 455 tests per week,
a figure 25% higher than the average of the last year. These objective indicators, and the subjective
positive feedback from those regularly using Cxbladder, demonstrate that clinicians are gaining increasing
confidence in the use of Cxbladder earlier in the patient care pathway.
“They also show that Pacific Edge has an excellent opportunity to capitalize on existing traction in a very
large target market. The challenge before us is one of focus and execution to convert this enthusiasm and
momentum to greater recurring use of Cxbladder.”
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Total operating revenue - the income generated from Cxbladder test sales - increased 49% to $11.4 million
from $7.7 million over the same period last year. Total Income of $13.9m, an increase of 33% included
higher levels of research incentives and interest revenue, offset by a reduction of Covid-19 support of
$1.1 million.
Net loss after tax increased to $19.8 million from $14.2 million over the same period a year ago as Pacific
Edge accelerated its investment to drive the adoption of tests. Net operating expenses increased to $33.7
million from $24.7 million in the prior year.
Net operating cash outflow increased to $17.5 million from $13.6 million in the same period a year ago.
Pacific Edge remains well funded following the successful $103.5 million capital raising in 2021. Cash, cash
equivalents and short-term deposits stood at $105.4 million up from $23.1 million at the same time last
year.
REGIONAL PERFORMANCE
The US business is making steady progress, despite COVID creating barriers for in-person selling
opportunities – a key activity for growth and retention. Total Lab Throughput (TLT) for the year was up
59% to 18,864, while commercial tests increased 62% to 15,752.
Pacific Edge is working closely with Kaiser Permanente, the largest integrated healthcare provider in the
US with an estimated 12.5 million members covered by the Kaiser Health Plan, to roll Cxbladder out across
more sites and to educate more clinicians at each site in the use of Cxbladder. Kaiser Permanente
urologists familiar with Cxbladder through the evaluation continue to advocate for broader adoption
internally through an EMR integration with our support. In parallel with the EMR integration efforts, we
continue to focus our adoption efforts in Southern California adding new sites and ordering clinicians from
Company Announcement

those involved in the initial evaluation. The adoption of Cxbladder Triage (CxbT) at Kaiser Permanente
enhances the case for its subsequent reimbursement by CMS.
Meanwhile we are working with the US Veterans Affairs (VA), the second largest integrated healthcare
provider in the US, to move from evaluation of our tests to widespread use across the more than nine
million veterans it covers. The completion of our DRIVE clinical study, which is examining the clinical utility
of Cxbladder in risk stratifying patients presenting with hematuria, is an important step towards this goal.
INITIATIVES OF THE INVESTMENT PROGRAM
“Since joining the company in January, my thoughts have coalesced around initiatives in three major areas
of the business that have the capacity to drive increases in long-term shareholder value,” Dr Meintjes
said.
“Firstly, we must continue to invest in technology and product innovation to maintain our leadership
position in urothelial cancer diagnostics. This means improving the performance characteristics of existing
products and expanding the context of use for Cxbladder to other segments of the patient care pathway.
“Secondly, we must augment that evidence through real world, real time clinical studies to establish
Cxbladder as a standard of care with clinicians, healthcare providers and funders ahead of inclusion of the
tests in globally relevant guidelines.
“And finally, having secured the support of these urological key opinion leaders, we must continue to
build awareness of the Cxbladder brand, taking our story to the wider clinician community and the patient
community.
“Today we are announcing initiatives that deliver on these priorities,” Dr Meintjes said.
Research and innovation
“We continue to evaluate new product concepts and cutting-edge technologies to determine if they can
be applied to the market and address an unmet clinical need. As we develop this technology, we will
continue to build a patent portfolio that we can subsequently develop into validated products for
commercialization. This may include other cancers, prognostics, or other non-cancer diseases where there
is strong biomarker signal in the urine – an existing core competency at Pacific Edge.
“The program will be staged and linked to the achievement of growth milestones. While we expect many
of these investments to quickly begin contributing to Pacific Edge’s business, we expect the aggregate of
these changes to drive long-term value creation and have greater contribution to revenue in the 2024
financial year and beyond,” Dr Meintjes said.
Evidence coverage and guidelines
Pacific Edge is accelerating its clinical evidence generation program to drive the inclusion of Cxbladder in
the American Urological Association (AUA), European Association of Urologists (EAU), and the National
Company Announcement
26 May 2022
Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. Simultaneously, Pacific Edge continues to drive
adoption in the absence of guidelines by demonstrating the utility of Cxbladder to urologists and uro-
oncologists through product evaluations, clinical studies partnerships, and the strength of our existing
clinical evidence.
Specifically, we are targeting evidence that demonstrates the value of Cxbladder in diagnosing
asymptomatic hematuria, in resolving diagnostic dilemmas (most commonly equivocal cystoscopy and
atypical cytology), detecting tumors in the upper tract, and reducing the patient burden of unnecessary
surveillance cystoscopies.
We want to ensure that Cxbladder is embedded from the earliest possible point and across the breadth
of the patient care pathway. The advancement of the LOBSTER study, which targets evidence to support
the inclusion of the test in the AUA standard of care announced to the NZX and ASX earlier this month, is
evidence of the program in action.
To support our evidence generation program, we have recently hired a VP of Medical Affairs, Dr Tamer
Aboushwareb, who will lead a team of 3-5 Medical Science Liaisons that will be technology and/or urology
specialists with a medical background.
The expanded team will increase our capacity to engage key opinion leaders on clinical studies; facilitate
faster and greater patient enrolment in studies; communicate our increasing body of clinical evidence to
drive the early adoption of Cxbladder and build momentum towards guideline inclusion. The team will
also work alongside our sales and marketing teams to assist with the adoption of Cxbladder by strategic
accounts; and work with the Clinical Science team to drive the generation of clinical utility evidence.
Adoption, retention, and revenue generation
We have a multi-pronged strategy for executing effectively in the market.
We are increasing the size of our sales team by up to 10 full time equivalents (FTE) to a planned total of
40 in FY24, as we know this direct sales model works and a controlled expansion will be a good use of
capital. Additionally, we have already deployed a Virtual Sales team to focus on rural clinicians and
patients and support the prospecting and onboarding for new accounts. The final number is dependent
on milestones during the course of the year. We are working with tenured Account Executives to lift
performance in established territories.
We are supporting market execution with investments in ancillary services, including the integration of
test ordering and resulting with healthcare providers’ electronic medical records (EMR) systems, driving
the adoption of patient in home sampling systems (PIHSS) and greater marketing investment and new
Managed Care initiatives.
Managed Care is an important element of customer care related to billing, explanation of benefits and
claims processing in the USA – it speaks strongly to the experience patients have when they engage with
Pacific Edge. “We want to drive towards seamless daily operations for healthcare providers, clinicians,
Company Announcement
26 May 2022
and patients as they order tests or collection kits, dispatch samples to our lab, and receive results,” Dr
Meintjes said.
Finally, we also plan to hire two FTE Strategic Account Sales people, who will work with the Virtual Sales
teams on service delivery at the largest healthcare providers and seek to onboard Cxbladder with new
providers.
Pacific Edge is investing to build the Cxbladder brand through partnerships with patient advocacy groups
such as the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network in the US and New Zealand’s Cancer Society. Pacific Edge
intends these efforts to educate patients on their options, empower patients to request non-invasive
alternatives to cystoscopy and ultimately contribute to revenue.
We are continuing to develop our plans in Australia and in Asian markets. The advancement of clinical
study collaborations in Singapore and the impending publication of data on a Singaporean cohort
represent an important step towards this latter goal.
OUTLOOK
Chairman Chris Gallaher said the Board was pleased with the progress Pacific Edge has made, especially
when the results are considered against the backdrop of the difficult selling environment the company
has faced for much of the financial year.
“With the easing of COVID restrictions, the Board is pleased to see the investments the company has
made to accelerate its growth are beginning to deliver results. The support we are seeing for CxBladder
has reinforced our confidence in the investment program made possible by last year’s capital raising,” Mr
Gallaher said.
“We are also delighted to have been able to attract back to New Zealand our new Chief Executive Dr Peter
Meintjes, who over the last few months has quickly begun to build on the strong legacy left by his
predecessor David Darling.
“Peter has brought to the company a deep understanding of the diagnostics market, a clear vision of what
is required to drive success and great enthusiasm for the role. He has quickly established himself within
the business and is bringing the team along with him.
“On behalf of shareholders, we thank all of the Pacific Edge team for their efforts in what has been an
extremely challenging period.”
Finally, Mr Gallaher thanked Pacific Edge’s Directors for their commitment to the company over the last
year.
“With the appointment of the respected healthcare leader Tony Barclay to the Board in March, Pacific
Edge now has the full complement of skills and experience to provide the necessary oversight and
guidance as the company moves into its next phase of growth. It is an exciting time for the company,” Mr
Gallaher said.
Company Announcement
26 May 2022
Dr Meintjes said Pacific Edge expects its investment in innovation, evidence, people, and brand to drive
growth in test volumes and revenue, but it will also lift operating costs in the business.
“Based on the activities in R&D, clinical studies, and market execution, I am excited about the prospect
for the company. Pacific Edge continues to realize the opportunities I observed when I was evaluating the
opportunity to lead the company,” Dr Meintjes said.
“The company is focused on long-term shareholder value and is well positioned to deliver that over the
coming years. The steps we have announced today represent a significant focus of resources to deliver
on our potential. We look forward to further updating shareholders at our annual meeting in late July.”

AMERICAS: KEY PAYORS ALREADY ACTIVATED
•The Kaiser Health Plan covers over 12.5m members, with >85% of those members in California
•Following internal utility evaluation, clinic-by-clinic rollout continues starting in Southern
California where the test was evaluated
•Volume growth is steady, and is expected to increase after Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
integration. This is viewed as a marathon, not a sprint
•CxbladderTriage adoption at Kaiser enhances the case for reimbursement by CMS
•The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is the
second largest integrated healthcare system in the US serving >9m veterans each year
•The DRIVE clinical study is an important engagement with VA urologists to determine utility in a
cohort of VA patients
•As the study nears completion, Pacific Edge expects to slowly migrate the study sites and other VA
sites to commercial adoption as part of a site-by-site rollout
•CxbladderTriage adoption at the VA enhances the case for reimbursement by CMS
•Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) covers more than 61.5m US citizens over 65
and people on low incomes
•Average age of patients presenting with hematuria is over 70 years old. Consequently, the payor
landscape skews towards Medicare with more than two thirds of our patient population covered
by Medicare
•Focus is on selling to urologists, who order Cxbladder tests based on medical necessity

APAC: NEW ZEALAND AT THE FOREFRONT WITH ADOPTION BY PRIMARY CARE
•More than 70% of New Zealand’s population are already
covered by individual DHB agreements. Further market
adoption in New Zealand is expected to be slower that
other regions with APAC
•COVID restrictions impacted our sales efforts leading to a
slower rate of growth in New Zealand during FY22
•The upcoming consolidation of the DistrictHealth Boards in
New Zealand provides an opportunity for greater coverage
and more consistent usage of Cxbladder
•Promoting additional hospitals to utilize Cxbladder in
Primary Care (aka the “Canterbury Model”) provides an
opportunity for additional growth in New Zealand
•Early commercial testing volume received from Northern
Health in Melbourne with nineother Australian hospitals

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting Entity
The consolidated financial statements (hereafter referred to as the ‘financial statements’) presented for the year
ended 31 March 2022 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 Company is dual listed, with its primary listing of ordinary
shares quoted in New Zealand on the NZX Main Board, and a secondary listing in Australia as a Foreign Exempt
Entity on the ASX.
These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on the 25th May 2022.
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 Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows have been
prepared so that all components are stated net of GST. All items in the Consolidated 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 September 2021 (issuing 59,259,259 shares at $1.35) and
a further Retail Offer in October 2021 (issuing 17,398,099 shares at $1.35 per share). Refer to Note 18 for further
details on the capital raising activity during FY22.

The financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries of Pacific Edge Limited as at 31
March 2022 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. 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.
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 2021.

2. NEW STANDARDS
New and Amended Standards Adopted by the Group
There are no new standards or interpretations material to the Group to be applied during the year.
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
2022 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).

Weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue 767,924 714,031
Earnings per share (0.026) (0.020)
(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 and the rates of adoption between different customer segments. 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.

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. 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
must be met before revenue may be recognised as performance obligations are satisfied. For the Group this would
result in some revenue recognised in advance of the receipt of cash.
PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022
11
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2022
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.
While there has been significant judgement applied to all five criteria, there are two criteria that have higher levels
of uncertainty, requiring increased levels of judgement. The significant judgements applied to determine the
Transaction Price and determining the probability of collecting consideration are detailed 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.
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. The inclusion within 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.
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 have concluded that the contracts with the CMS and customers covered by Medicare Advantage
include variable consideration because the amounts paid by Medicare or the commercial health insurance
carriers that provide Medicare Advantage may be paid at less than our standard rates or not paid at all, with such
differences considered implicit price concessions. Variable consideration attributable to these price concessions is
measured at the expected value, and are determined by historical average collection rates by test type and payor
category taking into consideration the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of our past experiences.
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 provision of $143,000 has been included to allow for tests that have been paid to the group and recognised
as revenue for the period to 31 March 2022, which are subsequently required to be refunded back to the payer
after the 31 March 2022 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 from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 for which payment has not been
received by 31 March 2022 for CMS and Medicare Advantage.
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. At the end of the month an invoice is issued to the cutomer based on the number of
tests performed. Revenue is recognised when the test is returned.

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 Consolidated 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, which was reached during the year ended 31 March 2022.
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.
- Australia Cxbladder Research Rebate
A Cxbladder research programme is administered by Pacific Edge Pty Limited and tax rebates are received as a
result of this programme.
The Cxbladder research rebate is recognised at its fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the rebate
will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
All conditions of the research rebate have been complied with. Payment will be received after submission of each
annual research and development tax claim.
Covid-19 Support
During the previous year ended 31 March 2021, the Group received Covid-19 support in the countries in which it
operates. No support was received during the year ended 31 March 2022.

PREVIOUSLY 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 22,634 tests has been recognised in the past.
In previous Financial Statements the Group reported that while no revenue has been received or recognised on
these 22,634 tests, the Group still noted the potential of future receipt as negotiations continued. Negotiations
have concluded and no further avenue is available for the Group to obtain reimbursement.
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.

For the year ended 31 March 2022
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 Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when the shares are issued. During the 2022
financial year, 123,000 (2021: 645,000) ordinary shares were issued to employees as part of the Employee Share
Scheme. The associated non-cash cost of these shares was $172,000 (2021: $284,000). 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 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. 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 up to 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 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 any awards in cash. The fair value of all options granted is recognised as an
expense in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated
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 5,527,000 (2021: 3,636,000) share options exercised resulting in an increase in share
capital of $4,040,000 (2021: $2,636,000). Refer to note 18 for further details on the share options that were
exercised.

The Group used the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of the equity instruments granted.
The Black-Scholes valuation model has been determined as the most appropriate method as it estimates the
theoretical value of derivatives taking into account the impact of time and other risk factors. 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 50-70%, a dividend yield of 0%, an expected option life of between one and
ten years and an annual risk-free interest rate of between 0.65% 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.
Share options outstanding at the end of the reporting periods have the following expiry dates, vesting dates and
exercise prices:

13. PROPERTY, PLANT AND 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 Consolidated 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 67% DV
Leasehold Improvements 6% to 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.

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.

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.
PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022

16. INCOME TAX
ACCOUNTING POLICY
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated
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.
The Company and Group has incurred an operating loss for the 2022 financial year and no income tax is
payable.

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 $45,846,000 (2021: $42,200,000) to
carry forward and claim for income tax purposes in New Zealand in the future. This has a tax effect of $12,889,000
(2021: $11,900,000). 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 Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Imputation Credit Account
The Group has imputation credits of Nil (2021: Nil).
17. PAYABLES AND ACCRUALS

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 Consolidated 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) Credit RiskRisk of financial loss in counterparty fails to meet contractual obligations
(iv) Liquidity RiskRisk the Group may not be able to meet its commitments as they fall due
(v) 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. 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 foreign currency against the NZD will reduce/increase the loss reported by
approximately $167,000 (2021: $130,000) 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
$1,041,000 and increase/reduce equity by the same amount (2021: $219,000).
(iii) 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 2022
31
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2022
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk other than bank deposits with 26.1% at Westpac, 25.4%
at BNZ, 22.3% at ANZ, 17.4% at Kiwibank and 0.4% 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 A+ 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, US 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 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 for which payment has not been received by 31 March 2022.
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:

109,47626,112
(iv) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulty in raising funds at short notice to meet its
commitments as they fall due. Management maintains sufficient cash balances and uses cash flow forecasts to
determine future cash flow requirements. The Group does not have any external loans but does have four finance
leases.
Payables and Accruals totaling $4,983,000 are due within 3 months of balance date (2021: $3,197,000).
Fair Values
In the opinion of the Directors, the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair
values at balance date.
22. RELATED PARTIES
A shareholder, the University of Otago, provided services, including rental space and car parking, to the Group to
the value of $361,000 (2021: $340,000). The Group has commitments totaling $269,000 (2021: $267,000) with the
University of Otago in the next financial year.

23. FINANCE AND OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS
ACCOUNTING POLICY
The group leases various properties and equipment. Rental contracts vary depending on the type of asset
being leased. 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
available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance
cost is charged to the Consolidated 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.
PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022
33
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2022
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 Consolidated
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 2021 comparative for lease repayments in the Consolidated
Statement of Cashflows has been split between principal and interest to be comparable with the current year
reporting.
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.
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.

ended 31 March 2022.
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.
While throughput quantities for the group for the year ended 31 March 2022 are up 46% on the prior year, the
restricted access to clinics has offset some of the increase expected from the increased Sales and Marketing
expenditure (up 55% on the prior year).
The benefits of the increased investment in Sales and Marketing are expected to be realised by the Group in the
next 12 months as Covid-19 restrictions are relaxed and/or removed.
The Group has Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short Term Deposits of $105,412,000, which provides confidence in the
ability of the Group to manage any on-going impacts caused by Covid-19.

Description of the key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Determining the timing of revenue
recognition for US revenue
As disclosed in Note 5 of the consolidated
financial statements, the timing of revenue
recognition for US based revenue varies by
revenue stream between completion of the
Cxbladder test and 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.
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 established a clear transaction price
for the tests. This transaction price, along with a
history of payment, satisfies the NZ IFRS
requirements for revenue recognition.
Accordingly, in the current year US derived
revenue for tests performed 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.
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, including the relevant controls at the external billing
reimbursement service organisation. We obtained the SOC1
System and Organisation Controls Report for the external
billing reimbursement service organisation, and evaluated
the evidence provided over the design and operating
effectiveness of the relevant controls.
We evaluated management's determination of whether a
contract with customers existed by:
● Assessing the data supporting revenue recognition for
CMS and Medicare Advantage to confirm that the
transaction price can be determined and collectability is
probable;
● Assessing the data supporting revenue recognition for
private insurance to confirm that the transaction price
and collectability is only probable when cash is received;
● Performing subsequent receipt testing to validate the
probability of collection of the year end receivable and
performing look back procedures over the prior year
receivable to test collection rates; 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.
Our audit approach
Overview
Overall group materiality: $467,000, which represents 2.5% of (loss)/earnings
before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA).
We chose earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA)
as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the
performance of the Group is most commonly measured by users, and is a
generally accepted benchmark.
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.
As reported above, we have one key audit matter, being:
● Determining the timing of revenue recognition for US revenue.
PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022

PwC
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.
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.
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.
PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022

PwC
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.
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.

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

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

audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.
