Group Commentary:
Green Cross Health Group CEO Rachael Newfield commented, “The result for the year ended 31
March 2023 reflects the hard work of all team members at Green Cross Health as we continue to
support New Zealand communities through unprecedented times in healthcare. COVID-19 activity,
whilst down on the prior year, was still a significant focus for our teams, as well as investment in
growth and the delivery of new services to communities.
“During the year, it was pleasing to be recognised by the Randstad Employer Brand Research as
one of the Top 10 most desirable places to work in New Zealand. This comes at a time where
we’re experiencing significant workforce pressure in terms of rate and availability of workforce.
1
Includes profit from discontinued operation (Community Health division) plus gain on divestment, totalling $30.3m net of tax. Excluding the
discontinued operation, NPAT attributable to shareholders decreased 26% to $15.0m.
“The sale of Access Community Health and Total Care Health to Anchorage Capital Partners on 28
February 2023 at an enterprise value of $50.0m contributed $21.8m to the result and supported
the payment of a 28 cents per share special dividend on 28 April 2023.”
Green Cross Health Chair Kim Ellis added, “The sale of Access Community Health and Total Care
Health in the year took a significant effort and the Board is pleased with the successful outcome.
Whilst Access Community Health performed well over the COVID-19 period, the divestment allows
the company to sharpen its focus on the Pharmacy and Medical divisions, with the strategy of
acquisitive & organic growth and commitment to sustainable healthcare solutions for all New
Zealanders still very much the priority.”
Pharmacy Division
Revenue in Pharmacy decreased 2% to $360m and Operating Profit for the period decreased 41% to
$21.1m, following a record profit in the prior year. The decline in profit was driven by a change in
revenue mix with higher margin COVID-19 vaccination activity replaced by retail and dispensary
revenue, as well as increased labour costs compared to the prior period. Dispensary performance
was strong, with total prescriptions up 10% versus prior year.
During the year the Green Cross Health Pharmacy network dispensed over 34 million prescriptions,
accounting for 40% of total prescription volumes across New Zealand. In addition, the increase in
customer awareness around the breadth of vaccinations that can now be provided by pharmacies
without an appointment helped drive growth in the number of influenza vaccinations
administered, which were up by 93% year-on-year.
Retail sales, up 2.3%, have shown some recovery despite the impact that global supply chain
disruptions have had on stock availability. The retail strategy of providing services and ranging
products that are differentiated from competitors, continued with expansion of the Green Cross
Health branded range into everyday health and beauty essentials along with the launch of a
pharmacy sleep apnoea service offering.
The exclusive Unichem and Life Pharmacy App launched in the year has now been rolled out to
over 200 pharmacies across the network. The App enables customers to order repeat
prescriptions, view prescription history, book services and order over-the-counter products. In
addition, customers and pharmacists can connect and interact, enabling pharmacies to further
support communities with their healthcare needs whilst fostering customer loyalty.
Investment in a new Living Rewards digital platform which successfully went live in July 2022
provided enhanced functionality that enables pharmacies to deliver targeted offers to customers,
increasing average spend per customer. The Living Rewards customer loyalty programme has now
reached 1.95 million members throughout New Zealand, with Living Rewards customers spending
65% more than non-Living Rewards members.
Unichem and Life Pharmacy featured in KPMG’s global customer experience excellence survey,
placing second and fourth respectively within the New Zealand non-grocery retail sector, a survey
which was undertaken by 6,500 New Zealand consumers across 130 brands.
Green Cross Health is pleased the Government has announced the removal of the $5 prescription
co-payment from July 2023. This comes after years of advocacy by Green Cross Health, Unichem
& Life Pharmacies, the Pharmacy Guild and other industry representatives. This change will
improve access to essential medicines for all, particularly those in the community who are most
vulnerable.
Medical Division
Medical Revenue grew 20% to $133m, with Operating Profit up 1% to $16.2m. A reduction in higher
margin COVID-19 swabbing and increased labour costs put downward pressure on profitability in the
year.
The Medical division once again achieved year-on-year growth, with the portfolio’s national
footprint increasing to 61 following the purchase of eight medical centres. Enrolled patients at 31
March 2023 totalled 386,000, an increase of 57,000 (+17%) since 31 March 2022.
Integration of previous medical centre purchases continued, with five practices rebranded to The
Doctors in year. Three practices underwent major refurbishments to support an improved patient
experience along with enhancing the operational environment and promoting efficiencies. Same
centres delivered a 3% increase in revenue year-on-year, the result of a focus on organic growth.
Acute and routine care presentations remained lower than pre COVID-19 levels, although patient
visit numbers have lifted versus the levels experienced over the core COVID-19 period. Throughout
the financial year the demand for COVID-19 testing services declined and clinical teams moved to
caring for COVID-19 positive patients in their homes through telehealth consultations. These were
delivered locally by practices as well as centrally by a newly formed COVID-19 Care virtual team to
relieve workload pressure on local clinical teams.
Investment in the HouseCall online healthcare service offering resulted in growing a dedicated team
and expanding the services offered. This service offering now delivers virtual consultations for
casual patients, clinician support to network practices, virtual locums to relieve workforce
challenges and workforce wellness services to New Zealand organisations to support their
employees.
Investment in IT solutions that deliver practice efficiencies, enable new services and improved
patient experience, came from leveraging the division’s scale and building stronger business
partnerships. These included commencing a roll-out of a standardised practice management system
across the network, an integrated patient invoice payment solution, a national SMS text messaging
solution and The Doctors App, an own-branded patient portal.
The Medical strategy is to build on employer and medical centre brand equity to grow organically
and through acquisitions. Innovation to support the division’s workforce to maintain high performing
clinical teams is key to success. Increased scale provides opportunities to strengthen relationships
with funders and to work more closely with Te Whatu Ora, Te Aka Whai Ora and locally with partners
to improve how care is delivered more equitably to communities across New Zealand.
Dividend
The Board was pleased to pay a 28.0 cents per share dividend on 28 April 2023 post the
divestment of the Community Health division. The Board has declared a further dividend of 3.5
cents per share (final FY23 dividend) to be paid in June 2023. This final FY23 dividend brings total
dividends declared in respect of FY23 to 35.0 cents per share.
Outlook
In the period ahead the Board is expecting to see a return to more normal trading conditions,
with patient and customer numbers starting to increase back to pre-COVID-19 levels, though
workforce shortages and inflationary pressures will continue to provide headwinds in the near
term. Green Cross Health calls on Government to significantly increase funding to help offset cost
inflation, enabling the most vulnerable to access healthcare services.
Whilst the last three years have been heavily impacted by COVID-19, the business has been
working to improve underlying performance, particularly in the Pharmacy division. Organic and
acquisitive growth remains the priority, and the strength of the Balance Sheet will support the
execution of this strategy.

its subsidiaries (the 'group') on pages 7 to 34
present fairly, in all material respects:
i. the Group’s financial position as at 31 March
2023 and its financial performance and cash
flows for the year ended on that date;
ii. in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards and
International Financial Reporting Standards.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
financial statements which comprise:
— the consolidated statement of financial position
as at 31 March 2023;
— the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows for
the year then ended; and
— notes, including a summary of significant
accounting policies.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ ISAs (NZ)’). We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of
Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (Including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by
the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence
Standards) (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the IESBA Code.
Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the
consolidated financial statements section of our report.
Our firm has also provided other services to the group in relation to tax compliance and support services and
cybersecurity testing. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the
group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the group. These matters
have not impaired our independence as auditor of the group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest
in, the group.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Materiality helped us to determine the
nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually
and on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The materiality for the consolidated financial statements
as a whole was set at $1.3 million determined with reference to a benchmark of group Profit Before Tax. We
chose the benchmark because, in our view, this is a key measure of the group’s performance.
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 in the current period. We summarise below those matters and our key audit
procedures to address those matters in order that the shareholders as a body may better understand the process
by which we arrived at our audit opinion. Our procedures were undertaken in the context of and solely for the
purpose of our statutory audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole and we do not express
discrete opinions on separate elements of the consolidated financial statements
The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our
audit
Impairment of goodwill ($152.5 million)
Refer to note 14 of the consolidated financial
statements.
The Group has grown significantly through
acquisitions in its Pharmacy and Medical
business units which has resulted in the
recognition of goodwill in the amount of $85.7
million, $66.8 million respectively.
The goodwill relating to Community Health
division of $19 million has been written off as a
part of the sale of the business.
In the event the business units underperform
compared to their business cases, there is a risk
that the goodwill arising on acquisition may no
longer be supported.
As disclosed in note 14, the Group performs an
annual impairment test of goodwill and uses a
discounted cash flow model to determine the
recoverable amount of its business units to which
goodwill has been allocated.
In performing this assessment, assumptions are
made in respect of future economic and market
conditions, including the impact of COVID-19.
Cashflow forecasts include consideration of the
Group’s strategic business plan for each
business unit and their impact on forecast sales
and operating costs. Additionally, management
determined terminal growth rates and discount
rates which reflect an assessment of the time
value of money and the risks specific to each
business unit.
The annual impairment test performed by the
Group was significant to our audit due to the
magnitude of the goodwill balance and because
the assessment process involved judgment about
the future performance of the business units.
Our audit procedures included:
Ensuring the allocation of goodwill to the Group’s
business units is appropriate;
Evaluating the methodology, mathematical
accuracy and assumptions applied in the
discounted cash flow models. We used our own
valuation specialists to assist us with the
consideration of terminal growth and discount
rates;
Challenging management’s cash flow
assumptions over projected cash flows taking into
consideration COVID-
19, and the expected impact
of the Group’s business plans for each business
unit by reference to their historical performance
and the i
nternal and external factors that influence
their operations;
Performing sensitivity analysis around the key
assumptions used in the models; and
Reviewing the appropriateness of related
disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements.
We did not identify any factors that were materially
inconsistent with management’s overall conclusions.
4
Emphasis of matter
We draw attention to Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements which describes the prior period
restatement to adjust the provision for employee entitlements following a review to ensure compliance with
legislative requirements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other information
The Directors, on behalf of the group, are responsible for the other information included in the group’s Annual
Report. Other information includes the Directors Declaration and the other information included in the Annual
Report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover any other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this Independent Auditor's Report. Our
responsibility is to read the Annual Report when it becomes available and consider whether the other information
it contains is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the
audit, or otherwise appear misstated. If so, we are required to report such matters to the Directors.
Use of this independent auditor’s r eport
This independent auditor’s report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our audit work has been
undertaken so that we might state to the shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in the
independent 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 shareholders as a body for our audit work, this independent
auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated
financial statements
The Directors, on behalf of the company, are responsible for:
— the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards) and International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the New Zealand
Accounting Standards Board;
— implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a consolidated set of financial
statements that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
— assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related
to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to
cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
5
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated
financial statements
Our objective is:
— to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
— to issue an independent 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 will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They 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 these consolidated financial statements is located at
the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at:
http://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2023
1Reporting Entity
Green Cross Health Limited (the “Parent” or the "Company") is a New Zealand company registered under the Companies
Act 1993 and is an FMC entity for the purposes of the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and the Financial Markets Conduct
Act 2013. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with these Acts. The Company is listed on the
NZX Main Board ("NZX").
The consolidated financial statements of Green Cross Health Limited comprise the Parent, its subsidiaries, and its interest
in associates and joint ventures (together referred to as the “Group”).
2Basis of preparation of financial statements
(a)Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
(“NZ GAAP”). They comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”), and
other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, and authoritative notices as appropriate for a Tier one for profit entity.
They also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 29 May 2023.
(b)Basis of measurement
The financial statements of the Group are prepared under the historical cost basis unless otherwise noted within the
specific accounting policies below.
(c)Changes in accounting policy
The Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated
financial statements, except as mentioned below.
(d)Comparatives
Comparative information has been represented in respect of the disposal of the Community Health division (refer Note 4)
and restated for the prior period in relation to Employee Entitlements (refer Note 25).
(e)Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars ($), which is the functional currency of the entities of the
Group. All financial information presented in New Zealand dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
(f)Significant estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS requires the Directors to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed
to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values
of some assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In authorising the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023, the Directors have ensured that the specific
accounting policies necessary for the proper understanding of the financial statements have been disclosed, and that all
accounting policies adopted are appropriate for the Group’s circumstances and have been consistently applied throughout
the year for all Group entities for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision
and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Information about the significant areas of
judgment exercised or estimation in applying accounting policies that have had a significant impact on the amounts
recognised in the financial statements are described as follows:
-11-
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2023
(continued)
2Basis of preparation of financial statements(continued)
(f)Significant estimates and judgments(continued)
(i) Classification of investments
Classifying investments as either subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures requires the Directors to assess the degree of
influence which the Group holds over the invested. In arriving at a conclusion the Directors take into account the
constitutional structure of the invested, governance arrangements, current and future representation on the Board of
Directors, and all other arrangements which might allow influence over the operating and financial policies of the invested.
(ii) Impairment of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets
The carrying values of goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, are assessed at least annually to ensure
that they are not impaired. This assessment requires the Directors to estimate future cash flows to be generated by cash
generating units to which goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives have been allocated. Estimating future
cash flows entails making judgments including the expected rate of growth of revenues and expenses, margins and
market shares to be achieved, and the appropriate rate to apply when discounting future cash flows. Note 14 of these
financial statements provides more information on the assumptions the Directors have made in this area and the carrying
values of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets. As the outcomes in the next financial period may be different to the
assumptions made, it is impracticable to predict the impact that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying
amount.
(iii) Accounting for leases under NZ IFRS 16
In determining the right of use assets and lease liabilities a number of estimates and judgments have been made by
management. These include determining the applicable incremental borrowing rates and assessment of the lease terms,
including any rights of renewal and whether it is reasonably certain they will be exercised. See Note 13.
(g)Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities that are controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to,
variable returns from its involvement in the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the
investee. Power arises when the Group has existing rights to direct the relevant activities of the investee, i.e. those that
significantly affect the investee’s returns. Control is assessed on a continuous basis.
The Group consolidates the results of its subsidiaries from the date that control commences until the date on which control
ceases. At such point as control ceases, it derecognises the assets, liabilities and any related non-controlling interests and
other components of equity. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be an associate
or a joint venture. At the date the equity method is discontinued, the difference between the carrying amount of the
associate or a joint venture and the fair value of any retained interest and any proceeds from disposing of a part interest in
the associate or a joint venture is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate or joint
venture.
The Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries ranges from 25% to 100% (2022: 25% to 100%). The Group consolidates
36 out of 45 entities where it holds less than half of the voting rights. This is on the basis that the Group's contractual
arrangements with these entities result in them meeting the definition of being subsidiaries as set out above.
(h)Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests are present ownership interests and are initially measured at either fair value or the non-
controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is
determined on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Under the proportionate interest method, goodwill is not attributed to the
non-controlling interest and the Group recognises only its share of goodwill whereas under fair value, the non-controlling
interest includes its proportionate share of goodwill.
Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a change in the control conclusion are accounted for
as transactions with equity-holders in their capacity as equity holders.
While the group has 48 (2022: 50) subsidiaries with non-controlling interests, there are no subsidiaries with individually
material non-controlling interest.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2023
(continued)
2Basis of preparation of financial statements(continued)
(i)Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in
preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted
investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are
eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
(j)Goods and Services Tax (GST)
The statement of comprehensive income has been stated so that all components are exclusive of GST. All items in the
statement of financial position are stated net of GST with the exception of receivables and payables, which include GST
invoiced.
(k)Statement of cash flows
The statement of cash flows has been prepared using the direct method subject to the netting of certain cash flows.
Cash flows in respect of investments and borrowings that have been rolled-over under arranged banking facilities have
been netted in order to provide meaningful disclosures.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and
form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the
purpose of the statement of cash flows.
Operating activities include all cash received from all revenue sources and all cash disbursed for all expenditure sources
including taxation refunds or payments and other transactions that are not classified as investing or financing activities.
Investing activities reflect the acquisition and disposal of property, plant and equipment and intangibles, loans to
associates, and investments in associates, subsidiaries and joint ventures.
Financing activities reflect changes in borrowings and equity.
(l)Inventory
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on a weighted
average principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other
costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition.
(m)Government grants
Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit and loss as other income on a
systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognised.
3New standards and interpretations issued and not yet effective
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the year ended 31
March 2023. These have been assessed for applicability to the Group and the Directors have concluded that they will not
have a significant impact on future financial statements, except for amendment to NZ IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities
which was early adopted by the Group in the financial year ended 31 March 2020.

5Segment reporting
Segment information provided in this note reflects the Group's performance from continuing operations only. The
Community Health business is considered discontinued operation and has been excluded from the disclosure in this note.
Please see Note 4 Discontinued operations for further information.
The Group has two reportable segments: pharmacy services and medical services. The pharmacy services segment
provides retail and dispensary services and the medical services segment provides GP, nursing and urgent care services.
The Group’s main operations are in the pharmacy industry providing pharmacy services through consolidated stores,
equity accounted investments and franchise stores. The medical services segment includes fully owned and equity
accounted medical centres, and support services provided to these medical centres, as well as medical centres outside
the Group.
The Board monitors the various revenue streams within each reportable segment separately however, they do not meet
the criteria for separate disclosure due to the following:
Aggregation of the operating segments within each reportable segment is consistent with the core principle of NZ
IFRS 8, i.e. aggregating will not distort the interpretation of the financial statements for the users;
The operating segments within each reportable segment share the same economic characteristics; and
The nature of the products and services, and the nature of the regulatory environment are the same for the
operating segments.

The amount of revenue included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is $6.6 million with a net profit
after tax of $0.9 million in respect of the entities acquired during the year.
If the acquisitions had occurred on 1 April 2022, management estimates that consolidated operating revenue would have
been $501.9m, and consolidated profit after tax for the year would have been $21.9m for continuing operations.

Pharmacy retail and dispensing services
Pharmacy retail and dispensary services include retail sales, dispensing, professional advisory and care services. For all
these services control is considered to pass to the customer at the point when the customer can use or otherwise benefit
from the goods and services. For retail sales, control passes at point of sale. Retail sales are predominantly by credit card,
debit card or in cash.
The Group operates its own Living Rewards loyalty programme. When a retail sale is made and points are earned, the
resulting revenue is allocated between the loyalty programme and the other components of the sale. The amount allocated
to the loyalty programme is deferred, and is recognised as revenue when the points are redeemed under the terms of the
programme or when it is no longer probable that the points under the programme will be redeemed.
Other pharmacy services
These mainly include franchise fees, supplier income and other service revenue. Control for franchise services pass over
time as the services are delivered over the term of the franchise agreement. Payment terms for franchise fees is generally
20 to 30 days. Supplier income is earned, as promotional services are rendered over a specified time period by the Group.
Payment terms are generally 20 to 30 days.
Medical services
Medical services include capitation and health services and patient fees. Control for capitation and health services passes
over time as the healthcare services are delivered to the patient over a certain time period. Payments terms are generally
20 to 30 days. Patient fees are earned at a point in time. Control passes to the customer when service has been delivered
to a customer. Patient fees are predominantly by credit card, debit card or in cash.

Contract assets and contract liabilities
Current contract assets represent revenue where the service has been provided but not yet invoiced to the customer.
When the customer has been invoiced, any outstanding balances are included in receivables. Contract liabilities reflect
payments received for services that have not yet been provided and the payments will be recognised as revenue over
time.
Costs directly related to the acquisition of a contract or renewal of an existing contract are capitalised and amortised over
the life of the contract. Cost relating to fulfilling a contract are only capitalised if they meet the recognition criteria under NZ
IFRS 15. Costs incurred in obtaining a contract are only capitalised to the extent they are incremental.

Taxation accounting policy
Income tax expense is charged to profit and loss and comprises current tax and deferred tax, unless it relates to an item
recognised in other comprehensive income or equity in which case it is recognised in other comprehensive income or
equity.
Current tax is the estimated tax payable on the current period’s taxable income using current tax rates, adjusted for any
under or over accrual in respect of prior periods.
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet approach, allowing for temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the carrying amounts for tax purposes. A deferred tax asset
is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary
differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is
no longer probable that the related benefit will be realised.

Property, plant & equipment accounting policy
Property, plant & equipment owned by the Group consists primarily of leasehold improvements and is stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Property, plant & equipment acquired in stages is not depreciated
until the asset is ready for its intended use.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on all property, plant & equipment components to allocate the cost of the
asset (less any residual value) over its useful life or if it relates to assets in a leased premises, the life of the lease if
shorter. The residual values and remaining useful lives of asset components are reviewed at least annually.
Current estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are between two and twelve years.
Subsequent expenditure capitalised only if it is probable that future economic benefit associated with the expenditure will
flow to the Group. All other costs are recognised in the profit and loss as expenditure when incurred.
Any resulting gain or loss on disposal of an asset is recognised in the profit and loss in the period in which the asset is
disposed of.

13Leases
As a lessee
The Group’s leased assets include property leases for pharmacies, medical centres and offices. The lease terms of these
leases typically range from 2 to 30 years (inclusive of any renewal options). Some leases provide for additional rent
payments that are based on changes in CPI or market rental rates. The Group also leases motor vehicles and equipment,
which typically run for a period of 3 to 5 years.
As a lessee, the Group recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the majority of its leases – i.e. these leases
are on-balance sheet.
The carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are as below:

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is
initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and
adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement
date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s
incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
-23-
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2023
(continued)
13Leases(continued)
The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payment
made. It is re-measured when there is:
a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate; or
a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or
changes in assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a
termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised; or
any other change in the future lease payments or the lease term due to a lease modification that’s not accounted
for as a separate lease.
The Group has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include
renewal options. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impact the lease
term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised.

Intangible assets accounting policy
Intangible assets recognised by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses
with the exception of goodwill (see below).
Intangible assets acquired in stages are not amortised until the asset is ready for its intended use.
Amortisation is provided on a straight-line basis for software to allocate the cost of the asset (less any residual value) over
its useful life. The residual values and remaining useful lives of software are reviewed at least annually. Other intangible
assets represent franchisee store rebranding costs and have an indefinite life.
Estimated useful lives of the asset classes are:
Software 3-5 years
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised if future economic benefit will flow to the Group and the requirements of the
standard are met. All other costs are recognised in the profit and loss as expenditure when incurred.
Any resulting gain or loss on disposal of an intangible asset is recognised in the profit and loss in the period in which the
intangible asset is disposed of.
Intangible assets disclosed in the financial statements relate to computer software, trademarks and other indefinite life
intangible assets. Indefinite life intangible assets are tested annually for impairment.
Goodwill accounting policy
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the
fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets at the time of acquisition.
Goodwill is allocated to the relevant cash generating units expected to benefit from the acquisition and tested for
impairment annually, or earlier at any interim reporting dates if there are indicators of impairment.
-25-
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2023
(continued)
14Intangible assets(continued)
If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount of the cash generating unit then an impairment loss is
recognised in profit and loss and the carrying amount of the asset is written down. Recoverable amount is calculated as
the greater of the fair value less cost to sell and value in use.
The relative value of the goodwill allocated to the relevant cash generating unit is included in the determination of any gain
or loss on disposal.
Impairment testing
Discounted cash flow (DCF) models have been based on three-year forecast cash flow projections. The budget for the
year-ending 31 March 2023 is the basis for the first year's projections and projections for subsequent periods have been
based on this plus growth. Terminal cash flows are projected to grow in line with the New Zealand long-term inflation rate.
The discount rate was a post-tax measure based on the rate of 10-year government bonds issued by the government in
the relevant market and in the same currency as the cash flows, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect both the increased
risk of investing in equities generally and the systematic risk of the specific CGU.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Group's operating divisions which represent the lowest
level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is allocated across
all operations within a division that have similar economic characteristics and collectively benefit from acquisitions that
increase the Group's portfolio.
Sensitivities
No impairment was identified for Pharmacy Services and Medical Services as a result of this review, nor under any
reasonable possible change, in any of the key assumptions described above.

Investments in associates and joint ventures accounting policy
An associate is an investee over which the Group has significant influence, which is the power to participate in the
financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but not to control or jointly control those policies.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net
assets of the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of the arrangement which only exists
when decision about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates and joint ventures are incorporated into the financial statements of the
Group using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the initial investment in the Group financial
statements is measured at cost and adjusted thereafter for the Group’s share of profit and loss and other comprehensive
income of the associate and joint venture. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of an associate or joint venture
investment is included in the carrying amount of the investment net of dividends received. Where the Group’s share of
losses of the associate of joint venture exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate or joint venture, the Group
discontinues recognising its share of losses unless it has a legal or constructive obligation to continue doing so. The equity
method is discontinued where the Group ceases to exert significant influence or joint control over the investee.
Accounting policies adopted by associates and joint ventures are generally consistent with those of the Group. Where a
material difference does exist, appropriate adjustments are applied to ensure congruence with the policies of the Group,
the most significant of these being the recognition of deferred tax.

The Group's interest rate on outstanding loans is calculated based on BKBM or cost of funds plus a margin. The current
interest rate is between 6.50% and 8.49% (2022: 2.16% - 5.20%). A 0.5% increase/decrease in the effective interest rate
would result in a decrease/increase in after tax profit of $85,000.
Green Cross Health Limited and all its subsidiaries provided guarantees and indemnities in favour of BNZ covering all
loans held by the parent and subsidiary companies. Loans within partnership subsidiaries are covered by a GSA
agreement over the individual business assets.
The Group's primary lender is the BNZ. As at balance date, the Group has undrawn banking facilities of $40.2m (2022:
$44m). The maturity of the debt facility with BNZ is 31 August 2024.
Borrowings and advances accounting policy
Borrowings and advances are initially recognised at fair value, including directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent
to initial recognition, borrowings and advances are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less
any impairment losses on advances.

21Share-based payments
Performance Share Rights
Performance Share Rights (PSRs) were offered to some senior executives, commencing 1 April 2019. Under the scheme
PSRs are issued to participants which give them the rights to receive ordinary shares in the Company after a three year
period, subject to certain vesting and other conditions being met. The fair value is measured at grant date and amortised
over the vesting period. The vesting of the PSRs is subject to the Company achieving performance hurdles relating to the
growth of its earnings per share over a three year measurement period. There is no exercise price for these performance
rights and there is no right to dividends during the vesting periods.
Vesting is contingent upon audited financial statements, therefore PSRs which meet the vesting criteria will vest in the
financial year following the end of the PSR period.
The total expense recognised in the year to 31 March 2023 in relation to the PSRs was $194,000 (2022: $90,000).
131,637 PSR's were vested during the year.

22Financial instruments
The Group is party to financial instruments as part of its normal operations. Financial instruments include cash and cash
equivalents, borrowings, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables.
Financial instruments are initially recognised at their fair value less transaction costs, and subsequently measured at their
amortised cost. A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets
expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and
rewards of the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are
discharged or cancelled.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost.
Risk management policies are used to mitigate the Group’s exposures to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk that arise
in the normal course of operations.
Credit Risk
The Group’s maximum credit risk resulting from a third party defaulting on its obligations to the Group is represented by
the carrying amount of each financial asset on the statement of financial position. The Group is not exposed to any
material concentrations of credit risk other than its exposure within the retail pharmacy and government sectors. The
Group monitors credit limits on a monthly basis. All credit facilities to external parties are provided on normal trade terms
(unsecured, to a maximum of 45 days). At any one time, the Group generally has amounts owed to and amounts owed by
the same counterparty, although no legal right of set-off exists. The Parent company holds direct debit authorities for
amounts payable under the contractual terms of its franchise agreements. The Parent regularly monitors the credit ratings
issued, and any qualifications to those ratings, to the financial institutions (and those of the ultimate parent financial
institution) used by the Group.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk represents the Group’s ability to meet its contractual obligations. The Group evaluates its liquidity
requirements on an ongoing basis. In general, the Group generates sufficient cash flows from its operating activities to
meet its obligations arising from its financial liabilities and has credit lines in place to cover potential shortfalls. The
following table sets out the contractual cash flows for financial liabilities that are settled on a gross cash flow basis:

Refer to note 18 for details of the interest rates for the group loans and borrowings, which are the most significant financial
instruments.
Capital management
The Group’s capital includes share capital and retained earnings. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed
capital requirements.
The allocation of capital between its specific business segments’ operations and activities is, to a large extent, driven by
the optimisation of the return achieved on the capital allocated. The process of allocating capital to specific business
segment operations and activities is undertaken independently of those responsible for the operation.
The Group’s policies in respect of capital management and allocation are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors.
The carrying amount of the Group’s on-balance sheet financial instruments including trade and other receivables, cash
and cash equivalents, borrowings and trade payables, closely approximate their fair values as at 31 March 2023 and 31
March 2022. The assessment of fair value relating to borrowings was determined by reference to observable market data
(level 2).
23Related parties
The Group has commercial franchise agreements with stores relating to marketing levies and franchise fees. The Group
also enters into transactions on behalf of the stores which are on-charged. These transactions comprise items such as
training courses, supplier agreements, central advertising campaigns, loyalty card costs, and IT related costs. The Parent
has leased some equipment which is on-leased to associate companies. The Parent performs accounting services, based
on agreed terms, for some of the stores and medical centres.
The Parent has shareholder agreements with the other shareholders of the associates. The agreements set out the return
on investment/profit sharing arrangements relating to these investments. Payable to non-controlling interests represents
loans advanced to the Group.

25Prior period restatements
As part of the sale of the Community Health division, a review was undertaken to ensure compliance with legislative
requirements. As a result of this review, it was determined that the liability for Employee Entitlements had been
understated. This resulted in a prior period restatement to adjust the provision for Employee Entitlements.
