DUNEDIN, New Zealand – Cancer diagnostics company Pacific Edge (NZX, ASX: PEB) today announces financial and

operational results for the year to 31 March 2023 and reports a year of delivery on its strategic goals.

Through FY 23 Pacific Edge has advanced initiatives to drive the adoption and more frequent use by clinicians of

Cxbladder, the company’s suite of advanced genomic tests, and generate clinical evidence to support Cxbladder

coverage and the inclusion of the tests in global standards of care.

Operating revenue, the income generated from Cxbladder test sales, increased 71% to $19.6 million from $11.4

million in the prior financial year. Revenue growth followed a 39% increase in commercial tests to 26,691 from

19,196 tests in the prior year, with US commercial test numbers growing 46% to 23,072 from 15,752 for FY 22.

Favorable exchange rate movements also positively impacted FY 23 operating revenue. Without this favorable

movement, operating revenue increased 55% on FY 22.

As reported in Pacific Edge’s Q4 shareholder update in April, total test volumes for FY 23 rose to 31,565, a 37%

increase on the 23,086 tests processed in FY 22. Total revenue, which includes government grants and other

income, increased 88% to $26.1 million from $13.9 million in the prior financial year assisted by higher interest

income, up $2.2 million to $2.8 million and foreign exchange gains, up $2.1 million to $2.3 million.

The net loss after tax increased to $27.0 million, from $19.7 million in the prior year. This result followed a 58%

increase in net operating expenses to $53.1 million from $33.7 million in the prior year as the company invested in

growth, particularly in the US market. While exchange rate movements have increased reported revenue from the

US, expenses in the US were also increased due to these movements. Removing the impact of the exchange rate

movements, underlying operating expenses increased 47%.

These increased expenses reflected the expansion of the company’s global team including direct sales, marketing

and sales support teams and the introduction of new Medical Affairs and Market access capabilities to the business.

Investment in people accounted for 52% of operating expense growth. The company has now largely completed

scaling for its next phase of growth.

Pacific Edge retains a strong balance sheet with cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits at 31 March 2023

of $77.8 million, compared to $93.5 million at the end of September 2022 and $105.4 million at the end of March

2022.

Chairman Chris Gallaher said: “Pacific Edge has successfully executed on the strategic priorities we outlined to

investors a year ago to drive the adoption of Cxbladder and to work towards the entrenchment of our tests as a

global standard of care for bladder cancer.

“Our efforts have been rewarded with a strong increase in commercial test volumes in the US, our most important

market; increased Cxbladder adoption by US clinicians and a significant improvement in operating revenues.

Following the introduction of new capabilities and the building of the team to the point that we are able to deliver

on the next phase of growth, Pacific Edge is well positioned to accelerate this momentum in the current financial

year.

“Our successes have been tempered by the ongoing lack of clarity over Cxbladder’s continued coverage by

Medicare. While unlikely, an unfavorable final version of the LCD has the potential to significantly reduce revenue

from patients with Medicare and Medicare Advantage insurance plans. Still, with cash reserves of $77.8 million we

are well positioned to execute on the significant opportunities we see, whatever the Medicare outcome,” Mr

Gallaher said.

Chief Executive Dr Peter Meintjes said the 2023 financial year had been one of enormous change and achievement

for the company.

“I am immensely proud of what we have achieved over my first full financial year leading Pacific Edge. The team

has embraced change and the new approaches we are taking to drive the commercial success of the company in

the US, our most significant market, and around the world.

“We have scaled the global team to execute on the immediate opportunities with new hires in direct sales,

marketing, and sales support. We have brought in new capabilities, including the recruitment of a Medical Affairs

team, which is tasked with engaging the urological opinion leaders that exert significant influence over the adoption

of Cxbladder tests by healthcare providers and payors. The team is also at the heart of our strategy to embed

Cxbladder in global standards of care, notably playing a key role in the design and execution of the clinical evidence

program that is foundational to that goal.

“We have enhanced our Market Access capability to drive coverage and reimbursement by national healthcare

providers and build resilience into our business in the face of complex healthcare regulatory and funding systems

in all the markets where we operate. We have also stepped up our business development capabilities in APAC and

introduced a variety of roles in digital technologies and innovation to support the company’s strategic growth plans.

“We have gained coding and coverage for Cxbladder Triage. We have developed Cxbladder Detect

+

, a new test

enhanced with DNA biomarkers that we are now advancing as a single product for hematuria evaluation. Cxbladder

Detect

+

delivers performance superior to our existing Triage and Detect tests and is well positioned to change the

standard of care.

“Pacific Edge is geared for growth. While the draft LCD from Novitas

1

has created some uncertainty, Cxbladder

remains a covered test by Medicare, and we have observed little impact on demand for Cxbladder from customers.

“Supported, however, by the advice and feedback we have received from our legal advisors, industry, academics

and clinicians and following numerous representations to Novitas, we remain optimistic that Cxbladder will retain

coverage,” Dr Meintjes said.

“We are looking forward to the deadline on July 28 when Novitas must either finalize or withdraw the proposed

Local Coverage Determination (DL 39365) and the associated Local Coverage Article (DA 59125) that cast

Cxbladder’s continued Medicare coverage into doubt.”

ADOPTION RETENTION AND REVENUE GENERATION

Our US business is making steady progress. US Total Lab Throughput (TLT) for the year was up 44% to 27,217 from

18,864 tests in FY 22. Commercial tests increased 46% to 23,072 from 15,752 in the prior year.

We are already seeing the benefits of expanding the direct sales force and creating differentiated commercial roles

to meet the needs of different customer types. We now have dedicated teams for national accounts, regional sales,

virtual sales and market access.

The Medical Affairs team has changed the narrative on biomarker utility in bladder cancer detection and patient

surveillance, driving increased engagement with key opinion leaders, department heads and the chairs at leading

institutions, or owners and partners at private practices.

The team is also driving clinical behavior change. This is most evident at Kaiser Permanente, our largest US customer

with an estimated 12.5 million members covered by its health plan. Pacific Edge is a valued innovation partner for

Kaiser Permanente, underpinned by our shared desire to reduce unnecessary cystoscopies during hematuria

evaluation and surveillance.

Adoption within Kaiser is growing steadily. Two of its clinics were in the top 20 Pacific Edge accounts by volume in

the last quarter. A catalyst of further acceleration in growth will be the ‘go-live’ of Cxbladder’s integration with

Kaiser’s EMR system. We have completed the software development and integration testing on the project and are

now focussed on completing the required administrative and review processes.

Our New Zealand business has delivered a steady performance. Our tests are available to more than 75% of New

Zealand’s population, but there remains an opportunity to drive the utility to primary care, to increase adoption

for hematuria evaluation among surveillance users and increase adoption for surveillance among hematuria

evaluation users.

Over the last year we added contracts with Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand Southern District and expanded

coverage in Tairawhiti on the East Coast of New Zealand. The most significant catalyst in the New Zealand market

is an opportunity to expand access through a national contract with Te Whatu Ora.

The rest of the APAC market is in the early stages of development. We recently appointed a President APAC charged

with building on the company’s presence in Australasia in the broader APAC region. APAC TLT for the year rose 3%

to 4,348 from 4,222 tests in FY 22. Commercial tests increased 5% to 3,619 from 3,444 in the prior year.

Our strategic focus across both regions for the year ahead remains the same, although we are embarking on a new

range of digitalization and performance excellence initiatives to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our

operations.

EVIDENCE COVERAGE AND GUIDELINES

We reviewed and reconfigured our evidence generation program. Our aim is to ensure it achieves our goals of

assisting the clinical adoption of Cxbladder and the inclusion of the tests in global standards of care. Clinical

evidence is also at the heart of our goals to foster trusted relationships with key urologic opinion leaders and

enhance the scientific credibility of the Cxbladder brand.

Our focus is on generating data to demonstrate the analytical and clinical validity and ultimately the clinical utility

2


of Cxbladder, including the new product Cxbladder Detect

+

. We have six key studies underway directed towards

these goals and have accelerated enrolment and site monitoring to drive the studies more rapidly towards

completion.

In the closing months of the financial year, we were pleased to gain Medicare coverage for Cxbladder Triage. This

followed the test’s inclusion in the Local Coverage Article (LCA 58917) that Pacific Edge currently relies upon for

Medicare coverage of all our tests in the US.

As signalled in April, we expect the development to lead to modest increases in rates of payment from Medicare

and Medicare Advantage payors for Triage. We also see coding and listing in LCA 58917 as a faster tangible path for

Cxbladder Detect

+

to gain coverage, should the current approach to reimbursement of our tests in the US continue.

Finally, we are now working to supplement our evidence generation program with investigator-initiated trials and

the establishment of a Cxbladder registry, where clinicians can record a wide range of patient data, including follow

up and outcomes. The registry, as it grows, becomes a multi-site, real-world evidence clinical trial. While clinical

utility trials are the gold standard for guidelines inclusion, and we expect many private payors to cover Cxbladder

after inclusion in guidelines, real-world evidence is frequently required by many private payors to drive medical

policy and subsequent contracting.

RESEARCH AND INNOVATION

The key success of our innovation team in FY 23 was the publication of evidence supporting the analytical validity

of Cxbladder Detect

+

in the prestigious Journal of Urology, which demonstrated significant improvements in test

performance. A key focus in the coming year will be to investigate the potential for a Monitor

+

product for

surveillance based on similar DNA SNPs. Our R&D team continue to evaluate product concepts to address unmet

clinical needs in urology diagnostics, for example, our MONSTER study is aimed at identifying additional markers of

residual disease in surveillance patients.

OUTLOOK

Pacific Edge is building on the steady growth we have achieved in FY 23. We continue to invest prudently to improve

the effectiveness and efficiency of the team we now have in place, Dr Meintjes said. “The lack of clarity over

continued Medicare coverage continues to represent a headwind for the company, but we remain confident and

optimistic about our outlook. We have world-leading technology, a strong balance sheet and we are building

momentum in the US and establishing footholds in new markets.

“We also see the potential for several catalysts to drive our success in the coming year, including a positive Medicare

determination, the ‘go live’ of the Kaiser EMR integration, the growing maturity of our sales force and, locally, a

national contract with Te Whatu Ora. Longer-term we are looking to the publication of clinical utility evidence from

our studies and those conducted independently of Pacific Edge,” Dr Meintjes said.

“The entire Pacific Edge team is working hard to bring all of these catalysts to fruition, and we look forward to

providing an update to our shareholders at our annual meeting in Auckland at the end of July.”

EVIDENCE, COVERAGE AND GUIDELINES: CHANGE CLINICAL PRACTICE
FOCUS AREAS:

Generate high-quality clinical validation and utility evidence

through clinical studies

Use Clinical Utility evidence to:

Drive the adoption of Cxbladder by clinicians, insurers and

hospitals ahead of guideline inclusion

•Pursue inclusion of Cxbladder in globally-relevant

standards and guidelines of clinical care across the

breadth of patient pathways

•Foster trusted relationships with key opinion

leaders, relevant Urologic centers of excellence,

professional societies and patient advocacy

networks to drive a broader awareness and

demand for Cxbladder

•Its own coding, coverage and pricing decisions

•No impact is anticipated on existing Triage, Detect and

GLOBAL GUIDELINES PIVOTAL TO THE WIDESPREAD ADOPTION OF CXBLADDER
Recognition in national guidelines deepens and accelerates commercial use of Cxbladder tests and entrenches

coverage by nationally relevant healthcare institutions.

•Most influential and largest

urologicalassociation in the world

•U.S. based -23,000 members worldwide.

•Standards of care relevant to Cxbladder:

•Hematuriaand micro-hematuria

management

•Non-muscle invasive bladder

cancer (NMIBC). (Standard makes

an allowance for the use of

biomarkers in surveillance)

•Guidelines reviewed as new evidence

emerges

•Pacific Edge can influence this process by

publishing new clinical evidence

www.auanet.org

•Leading urologic authority in Europe

•Netherlands-based, 18,000 members

•Standards relevant to Cxbladder

•Non-muscle invasive bladder

cancer (NMIBC)

•Guidelines loosely followed in New

Zealand, Australia and Singapore,

but localised at a national and

regional level

•Guidelines recently reviewed with

favourable biomarkerlanguage and are

updated regularly

www.uroweb.org

•US-based not-for-profit alliance of 32

leading US cancer centres

•Bladder cancer standard suggests

biomarkers may be considered during

surveillance of high-risk non-muscle-

invasive bladder cancer

•Guidelines reviewed annually. PEB will

resubmit in every year where there is new

peer-reviewed evidence for Cxbladder

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2023

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 2023 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 24th May 2023.

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.

The financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries of Pacific Edge Limited as at

31 March 2023 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.

There has been a change in a Critical Accounting Estimate for commercial test revenue recognised in the US, which

has resulted in Operating Revenue increasing by $418,000 for the reporting period ended 31 March 2023. This is

detailed in Note 5.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2023

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2023

The Group has performed an initial assessment of potential climate related risks and considered the location of

laboratories and other key operations in each region that it operates in and concluded that there is no material

impact on the current financial statements.

All other 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 2022.

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

2023 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).

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 consolidated financial statements, 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 non-chargeable

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 consolidated

financial statements 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 Te Whatu Ora Health 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 regions across New Zealand and revenue is

recognised as described on the following pages.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2023

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2023

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.

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 – USA

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 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, less a 2% sequestration fee.

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 the LCD combined with the

growing support for the use of Cxbladder within the US has also allowed the Group to reliably estimate both the

probability and size of payment received from customers covered by Medicare Advantage policies provided by

private insurers and for the year ended 31 March 2023 for customers covered by Kaiser Permanente. The change

relating to Kaiser Permanente in the year ended 31 March 2023 has resulted in an increase to operating revenue

and receivables of $418,000.

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 and

Kaiser Permanente include variable consideration because the amounts paid by Medicare or the commercial

health insurance carriers that provide Medicare Advantage and Kaiser Permanente 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, and 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.

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 October 2022 to 31 March 2023 (6 months prior to balance date)

for which payment has not been received by 31 March 2023 for CMS, Medicare Advantage and Kaiser Permanente.

Kaiser Permanente revenue was recognised on receipt of cash in the prior year.

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 customer based on the number of

tests performed. Revenue is recognised when the invoice is issued.

OTHER INCOME

Grant Income

Government Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the

conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received. Government Grants are recognised in Other

Income in the 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.

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 (Australia) 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.

6. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Research is the original and planned investigation undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific

knowledge and understanding. This includes: direct and overhead expenses for diagnostic and prognostic

biomarker discovery and research; pre-clinical trials; and costs associated with clinical trial activities. All research

costs are expensed when incurred.

Development is the application of research findings to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially

improved processes or products prior to the commencement of commercial production.

When a project reaches the stage where it is probable that future expenditure can be recovered through the

process or products produced, expenditure that is directly attributed or reasonably allocated to that project is

recognised as a development asset within intangible assets. If the expenditure also benefits processes or products

for which it cannot be recovered, it will be expensed. The asset will be amortised from the date of commencement

of commercial production of the product to which it relates on a straight-line basis over the period of expected

benefit. Development assets are reviewed annually for any impairment in their carrying value.

Employee Share Scheme

The Company has an Employee Share Scheme where ordinary shares in the Company may be issued to selected

employees to recognise performance or a significant contribution to the Company. These shares may be issued

in lieu of a cash bonus or in addition to the employee’s remuneration. The ordinary shares are issued directly to

the employee and the Company accounts for the cost of the shares. The shares are allocated to the employee on

the date that the Board approves the issue of the share capital. All employees who hold ordinary shares in the

Company must comply with the Company’s Share Trading Policy.

The issuance of ordinary shares to employees is treated as equity settled share-based payments. Equity-settled

share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date

based on the market price at the time of issuance. The fair value of shares granted is recognised as an employee

expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when the shares are issued. During the 2023

financial year, 278,000 (2022: 123,000) ordinary shares were issued to employees as part of the Employee Share

Scheme. The associated non-cash cost of these shares was $182,000 (2022: $172,000). Refer to Note 18 for further

details on the shares issued during the financial year.

Attract and Retain Options

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.

Attract and retain 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 issued prior to 31 March 2022 generally vest over three years and contain the 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.

Options issued after 1 April 2022 generally vest equally in three trances over a four year period, with 1/3 on the

second, third and fourth anniversary of the issue. The Options are exercisable up to four years after vesting date.

Option holders are required to remain as an employee of the Company in order for options to vest. No options can

be exercised later than the fourth anniversary of the final vesting date. The exercise price increases annually for

each vested tranche at the equity cost of capital.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2023
15

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2023

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 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. The options expense for the year ended 31 March

2023 was $1,273,000 (2022: $839,000).

During the financial year ended 31 March 2023, there were no share options exercised (2022: 5,527,000). There was

no resulting increase in share capital (2022: $4,040,000). Refer to note 18 for further details on the share options

that were exercised in the year ended 31 March 2022.

* There were no options exercised for the financial year ended 31 March 2023. The weighted average share price at the date of

options exercised during the year ended 31 March 2022 was NZ$1.35.

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 options 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 4.94%.

The volatility measured is the standard deviation of continuously compounded share returns and is based on a

statistical analysis of daily share prices in the past one to ten years.

13. PROPERTY, PLANT 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

14. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Intellectual Property

The costs of acquired Intellectual Property are recognised at cost. All Intellectual Property has a finite life. The carrying

value of Intellectual Property is reviewed for impairment, where indicators of impairment exist. Amortisation is charged

on a diminishing value basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets (1-20 years). The estimated useful life

and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

The following costs associated with Intellectual Property are expensed as incurred during the research phases of

a project and are only capitalised when incurred as part of the development phase of a process or product within

development assets: Internal Intellectual Property costs including the costs of patents and patent application.

Software Development Costs

Costs associated with the development of software are held at cost. Amortisation is charged on a diminishing value

basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets (2-10 years). The estimated useful life and amortisation

method is reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

Cxbladder Development Costs

Costs associated with the development of Cxbladder products have been removed as an Intangible Asset during the

financial year with the $13,000 remaining value expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for

the year ended 31 March 2023.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating

decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing

performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer who makes strategic

decisions.

There are two operating segments at balance date:

1. Commercial: The sales, marketing, laboratory and support operations to run the commercial businesses worldwide.

2. Research: The research and development of diagnostic and prognostic products for human cancer.

The reportable operating segment Commercial derives its revenue primarily from sales of Cxbladder tests and

the reportable operating segment Research derives its revenue primarily from grant income. The Chief Executive

Officer assesses the performance of the operating segments based on their net loss for the period.

Segment income, expenses and profitability are presented on a gross basis excluding inter-segment eliminations

to best represent the performance of each segment operating as independent business units. The segment

information provided to the Chief Executive Officer for the reportable segment described above, for the year

ended 31 March 2023, is shown below.

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 2023 financial year and no income tax is payable.

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 the 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 cash flow interest rate risk

(iii) Credit RiskRisk of financial loss if 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 and in line with the

approved treasury policy. It will also purchase foreign currency to fund overseas operations based on cash flow

forecasts in line with the approved treasury policy. There are no formal foreign currency hedges entered into.

A 10% increase or decrease in the foreign currency against the NZD will reduce/increase the loss reported by

approximately $337,000 (2022: $167,000) 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

$764,000 and increase/reduce equity by the same amount (2022: $1,041,000).

(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 2023
30

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2023

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk other than bank deposits, with the exposure as at 31

March 2023 expressed as a percentage of total assets: 24.0% at ANZ, 22.1% at BNZ, 20.3% at Westpac, 18% at

Kiwibank and 1.2% 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 and concentrations are managed

within the approved treasury policy.

Regular monitoring of receivables is undertaken to ensure that the credit exposure remains within the Group’s

normal terms of trade. These receivables balances mainly relate to New Zealand customers, and the New Zealand

and 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 October 2022 to 31 March 2023 for which payment has not been received by 31 March

2023.

Regular monitoring of other assets is undertaken to ensure that the credit exposure is limited.

The carrying values of financial assets represent the maximum exposure to credit risk as represented below:

83,455109,476

(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. Liquidity risk is managed within the approved treasury policy. The Group

does not have any external loans but does have four finance leases.

Payables and Accruals totaling $6,928,000 are due within 3 months of balance date (2022: $4,983,000).

Fair Values

In the opinion of the Directors, the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair

values at balance date.

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.

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.

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2023

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.

25. PROPOSED LOCAL COVERAGE DETERMINATION (LCD) AND LOCAL COVERAGE

ARTICLE (LCA) CHANGES - POTENTIAL IMPACT ON REVENUE

On 29 July 2022 Pacific Edge Limited became aware of proposed changes by Novitas, the Medicare Administrative

Contractor (MAC) with jurisdiction for Pacific Edge’s US laboratory to the Local Coverage Determination (LCD)

and Local Coverage Article (LCA) that governs the reimbursement of Cxbladder in the US by the US Centers for

Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

If the proposed LCD (DL39365) and LCA (DA59125) were approved unchanged, Cxbladder would not qualify for

coverage from Novitas for tests reimbursed by the CMS. These tests represent a significant portion of current

Cxbladder testing revenue. Multiple companies that have existing coverage, or are seeking coverage, are similarly

impacted by this proposal.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2023
35

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2023

Having consulted with US-based advisers and industry experts, Pacific Edge believes the proposed changes are

unlikely to survive the ongoing review process in their current form. The consensus view of those consulted by

Pacific Edge was that the proposed changes to the LCD/LCA are contrary to US legal requirements and precedent.

The proposed changes also fundamentally change the process for determining coverage for specific tests and

could deprive US clinicians and Medicare patients access to diagnostic tools with proven, peer-reviewed clinical

utility.

Novitas closed the period for public comments on the proposals on 6 September 2022. Novitas has not provided

a specific date for a decision, however Pacific Edge understands Novitas must either publish or withdraw the draft

LCD/LCA within a year of the date of proposal, being 28 July 2023. When publishing, Novitas is required to address

all comments from Pacific Edge and other companies, and at their discretion may elect to alter the text of the draft

LCD/LCA in response to those comments when publishing. Pacific Edge understands CMS is required to give at

least 45 days’ notice of the effective determination date.

Pacific Edge received payment in line with the existing LCD/LCA for the financial year ended 31 March 2023, and to

the date of approval of these Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the Company is unable to determine the

future impact, if any, at the date of approval of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

26. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

There are no subsequent events.

Independent auditor’s report
To the shareholders of Pacific Edge Limited

Our opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pacific Edge Limited (the

Company), including its subsidiaries (the Group), present fairly, in all material respects, the financial

position of the Group as at 31 March 2023, its financial performance and its cash flows for the year

then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting

Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

What we have audited

The Group's consolidated financial statements comprise:

● the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2023;

● the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;

● the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;

● the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and

● the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include significant accounting policies

and other explanatory information.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs

(NZ)) and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are

further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis

for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International

Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards)

(New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the

International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence

Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), and we

have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Our firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of half year review procedures and with

providing other assurance services. The provision of these other services have not impaired our

independence as auditor of the Group.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in

our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed

in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our

opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

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 three material United States (US)

revenue streams:

1. Coverage via Centers for Medicare and Medicaid

Services (CMS) and Medicare Advantage;

2. Tests performed for Kaiser Permanente; and

3. Other private insurance.

In July 2020, the Company received Local Coverage

Determination (“LCD”) and Local Coverage Article

(LCA) for CMS. This determination created a set

price for the Company’s tests of US$760 per test

from July 2020, and established a clear transaction

price for the tests. This transaction price, along with a

history of payment, satisfies the NZ IFRS

requirement for revenue recognition. On 29 July

2022, the company became aware of the proposed

changes to the LCD/LCA by Novitas. This has the

potential to significantly change the reimbursement of

Cxbladder tests in the US as the tests represent a

significant portion of current Cxbladder testing

revenue. The LCD/LCA is still in place and the

Company continues to receive reimbursement in line

with the existing LCD/LCA. The uncertainty in respect

of future operations is disclosed in Note 25.

In the year ended 31 March 2023, the basis of

revenue recognition for Kaiser Permanente changed

to an accrual basis, in line with Medicare and

Medicare Advantage, from the cash basis in the prior

year. This is a change in accounting estimate and

has been disclosed in Note 5.

Accordingly, in the US derived revenue for tests

performed for CMS, Medicare Advantage and Kaiser

Permanente 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 receipt basis as disclosed in Note 5.

We determined this to be a key audit matter due to

the significance of the judgments applied by Directors

for revenue recognition and the potential impact of

changes in the proposed LCD/LCA.

Our audit procedures included the following:

We obtained an understanding of management’s

processes and controls for the CMS, Medicare

Advantage, Kaiser Permanente and Private

Insurance US revenue streams, including the

relevant controls at the external billing

reimbursements 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 the

timing of revenue recognition 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;

● Obtaining management’s latest assessment,

correspondence and other information in relation

to the status of the proposed LCD/LCA;

● Assessing the data supporting the change in

accounting estimate for revenue recognition for

Kaiser Permanente;

● Assessing the data supporting revenue

recognition for other 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

receivables and performing look back

procedures over the prior year receivable to test

collection rates; and

● Evaluated whether revenue has been recognised

appropriately in accordance with NZ IFRS 15.

We have no matters to report from the procedures

performed above.

PwC
Our audit approach

Overview

Overall group materiality: approximately $718,000, which represents 2.5% of

(loss)/earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA).

We chose (loss)/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.

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.

38

PwC
Other information

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information

included in the Annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our

auditor's report thereon. The Annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this

auditor's report.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will

not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the

other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with

the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be

materially misstated.

When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material

misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the Directors and use our

professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial statements

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of the

consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as

the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that

are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the

Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going

concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate

the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements,

as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s

report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a

guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs will always detect a material

misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,

individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions

of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is

located at the External Reporting Board’s website at:

https://www.xrb.govt.nz/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Who we report to

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been

undertaken so that we might state those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s

report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume

responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s shareholders, as a body, for our

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