Me Today Limited
Condensed Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended 31 December 2023

1. General information

Me Today Limited (‘the Company’) is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New

Zealand.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements presented are for Me Today Limited and its

subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’).

The Group produces, sells, and markets health and wellbeing products or acts as an agent on behalf of

other health and wellbeing suppliers. The Group also produces and sells premium Mānuka honey.

2. Basis of preparation

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance

with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (‘NZ GAAP’), with New Zealand Equivalent to

International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (‘NZ IAS 34’), with International

Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (‘IAS 34’), and with the requirements on the NZX

Main Board Listing Rules.

Me Today Limited is a company registered under the Companies Act 1993 and an FMC reporting entity

under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is listed on the NZX Main Board.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the notes of the type

normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with

the financial statements included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023 which have been

prepared in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘NZ

IFRS’) and International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars which is

the Company’s functional and presentation currency, rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

Certain comparative information has been adjusted to be consistent with the presentation in the current

period.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The comparative information as

at 30 June 2023 is audited.

2.1. Basis of measurement

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis,

except for biological assets which are measured at fair value less cost to sell. Historical cost is generally

based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

2.2. Going concern

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which

assumes that the Group has the intention and ability to continue its operations for the foreseeable future.

The Group incurred an after-tax loss of $7.3 million in the 6 months to 31 December 2023 (6 months to

31 December 2022: $5.8 million loss). The Group’s net cash outflows from operating activities during the 6

months was $1.9 million (6 months to 31 December 2022: $4.6 million net cash outflow).

At the reporting date the Group had drawn down $1.16 million of its $2.5 million cash overdraft facility (30

June 2023: $0.91 million cash at bank and no overdraft utilised), had working capital of $13.9 million (30

June 2023: $9.0 million) and net assets of $4.6 million (30 June 2023: $11.9 million). The Group had bank

loans of $7.0 million (30 June 2023: $7.0 million), and a subordinated note payable of $5.5 million

(30 June 2023: $5.4 million).

Since 30 June 2023 the Group has updated its borrowing arrangements with the Bank of New Zealand

(‘BNZ’). The BNZ have agreed to continue supporting the business through term loan and overdraft

facilities to 30 June 2026 (refer note 12). Facilities will remain on an interest only basis until 30 June 2025.

Condensed Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended 31 December 2023

The Jarvis Trust has agreed to extend the repayment date of the subordinated note until 30 June 2026

(refer note 12). The new terms agreed are subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders.

The new terms agreed by the BNZ and the Jarvis Trust are contingent on the Company raising new

capital.

The Company will hold a special meeting of shareholders on 8 March 2024 seeking approval for the

amendment to the terms of the subordinated note and the recapitalisation of Me Today Limited. The total

capital raise being sought is up to $2.78 million with an ability to take oversubscriptions in excess of $2.78

million at the Board’s discretion, but subject to the NZX Listing Rules.

To assist with the capital raise the Baker Investment Trust No. 2 and the Sinclair Investment Trust have

agreed to underwrite the first $2 million (refer note 13.3). Approval for the capital raise requires an

ordinary resolution of shareholders. MTL Securities Limited, which is a substantial shareholder of the

Company, and its associated persons, are not permitted to vote on this resolution.

The Directors are satisfied that based on their review of the Group’s current financial forecasts, the

extension agreement with the BNZ and the Jarvis Trust, and the agreements to underwrite the March

2024 capital raise, that, during the 12 months after the date of signing these consolidated financial

statements, there will be adequate cash flows available to meet the financial obligations of the Group as

they arise. The Directors acknowledge that whilst the Group continues to build commercial relationships

with new and existing customers future looking forecasts are inherently uncertain. The Directors consider

the pending capital raise and the overdraft facility available to the Group provide it with sufficient

headroom should it be required if sales or cost forecasts are not achieved.

The considered view of the Board is that, after making due enquiries and considering relevant factors,

there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will have access to adequate resources and

commitments from its borrowers, that will enable it to meet its financial obligations for the foreseeable

future.

For this reason, the Board considers the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing the unaudited

interim consolidated financial statements for the 6 months ended 31 December 2023 to be appropriate.

The Board has reached this conclusion having regard to circumstances which it considers likely to affect

the Group during the period of at least one year from the date of approval of these interim consolidated

financial statements, and to circumstances which it considers will occur after that date which will affect the

validity of the going concern basis.

3. Changes in Accounting Policies

There have been no changes in the material accounting policies and methods of computation used in

preparing the condensed interim consolidated financial statements compared to those used in preparing

the audited consolidated financial statements for the 12 months ended 30 June 2023. For details of the

accounting policies for the 12 months ended 30 June 2023 please refer to the 2023 Annual Report.

6.1. Seasonal and cyclical influences

The Group’s honey production operations have seasonal influences. Over winter, hives are downsized

and operating costs are primarily spent on maintaining hives and operations. Honey production occurs

from early spring to late summer with the majority of honey harvest occurring from January to March.

Operating costs increase during the honey production and harvest months. Beekeeping costs are deferred

and recognised as biological work in progress (net of any impairment) up until harvest, at which point they

are transferred to inventory. Sales of honey occur throughout the year and the cost of honey sold is

recognised at the same time.

There are no seasonal or cyclical influences on the sale of goods or agency services operations.

7. Earnings per share


On 9 January 2024 the Company undertook a 100 to 1 share consolidation. The earnings per share

calculation for both the current and comparative periods reflects the impact of this share consolidation.

At 31 December 2023, there were no financial instruments that carried any shareholder dilution rights that

were considered to be dilutive (31 December 2022: none).

10. Biological assets



The reduction in the number of hives and the resulting reduction in the fair value of the biological asset in

the six months to 31 December 2023, is a result of the downsizing of the beekeeping operations.

11. Customer relationship assets

Due to the ongoing levels of sales through the Honey segment the Board undertook an updated value in

use impairment test at 31 December 2023 in relation to the carrying value of the customer relationship

asset (impairment testing was previously performed as at 30 June 2023).

The Group considered the future cash flows arising out of the sale of Manuka Honey through the Honey

segment. As a result of the completion of discounted cashflow modelling, the Board assessed the value of

the Honey cash generating unit (“CGU”) as $17.1 million (30 June 2023: $21.1 million). The Board

concluded that it was appropriate for the Group to recognise a full impairment in value of the customer

relationship asset. The customer relationship asset was originally recognised as part of the King Honey

acquisition.

Value in use was determined by discounting the future cash flows generated from the continuing use of

the CGU and was based on the following key assumptions:


Cash flows were projected on actual operating results, the 12-month budget, multi-year forecasts and

business plan.

The discount rate selected reflects the level of uncertainty in relation to the future revenue from the Honey

12. Borrowings


As part of the acquisition of the King Honey business the Group has borrowings of $7.0 million with the

BNZ and a subordinated note payable to the Jarvis Trust of $5.5 million. Given the performance of the

King Honey business the amounts due to both the BNZ and the Jarvis Trust have not been able to be

repaid as scheduled. The Group has therefore agreed new terms with the lenders.

The loans payable to the BNZ and the Jarvis Trust have different security profiles. Currently, the BNZ debt

is secured by a first ranking general security agreement over the entire Me Today group and its

subsidiaries. The Jarvis debt is secured by a second ranking general security agreement over just the

King Honey business.

As part of the agreement to inject new capital into Me Today Limited (Note 2.2) the BNZ has agreed that

Me Today Limited be removed from the debt security group except for an amount of $2 million. The

$2 million continues to rank ahead of the Jarvis Trust.

As part of the new arrangement:

- the BNZ loan will remain interest only until 30 June 2025 at which time $250,000 of the principal is

repayable quarterly (repayments to commence 30 September 2025); and

- the current $2.5 million limit of the overdraft facility is to reduce to $1.5 million by $250,000 increments

per quarter commencing 30 September 2024. The term remains on demand and subject to annual

review.

The BNZ debt is secured by a first ranking debenture over the Company and its subsidiaries. The BNZ

has agreed that Me Today Limited be removed from the debt security group except for an amount of

$2 million. This $2 million continues to rank ahead of the Jarvis Trust.

On 20 December 2023 a variation agreement was signed with the Jarvis Trust to extend the repayment

date to 30 June 2026 with a quarterly review from 1 July 2025. The variation agreement with the Jarvis

Trust is subject to shareholder approval. The Jarvis Trust is a substantial security holder in Me Today.

The new terms agreed by the BNZ and the Jarvis Trust are contingent on the Group raising new capital.

Me Today Ltd announce six-month results and restructure plan

to support growth and improved value of Me Today brand


• Results for the six months ended 31 December 2023 show revenues

down but reduced / improved operating EBITDA losses.

• China licensing deal unlocks potential for Me Today brand, which is

also preparing to launch a new supplements range and reports positive

trading developments.

• Plans to sell the King Honey business.

• Up to $2.78m capital raise and debt restructure proposed to

strengthen foundations for growth of Me Today brand.

• Stephen Sinclair, ex Trilogy CEO, steps into CEO seat.


Me Today Limited (NZX: MEE) has released its unaudited Group results for the six months ended

31 December 2023. The Company says it now plans to try to sell the King Honey business, to focus

on growing and improving the stronger performing Me Today brand.

A comprehensive debt restructuring plan and proposed capital raise will provide the underlying

foundations for growth and increasing value.

Results show revenue of $2.3m, compared to $3.6m for the six months ended 31 December 2022,

and a loss after tax of $7.25m, compared to $5.81m in the six months in the year prior. The

operating EBITDA loss for the period is $2.22m, before adjusting for the write down of the customer

relationship asset of $3.45m. By comparison operating EBITDA for the same period last year was a

loss of $3.08m, indicating an improved position.

Further explanation of the result is included below, with a reconciliation of the costs that account for

the difference between operating EBITDA and the net loss after tax.

Gross revenue for the Group, before the costs of marketing services provided by a customer, was

$2.9m. This was split between the Honey segment at $1.15m, Me Today branded sales of $1.43m

and agency services revenue of $0.3m.

Capital Raise

On 22 February the company confirmed details of a special meeting of shareholders to be held on

8 March 2024 to seek approval for a recapitalisation and restructuring plan for the Me Today Group.

Me Today Limited is seeking approval from shareholders to raise up to $2.78m in new capital,

supported by an underwrite of the first $2m from trusts associated with directors Grant Baker and

Stephen Sinclair. Shareholders will also be asked to ratify confirm and approve the variation and

extension to the Jarvis Trust Loan, advised to the market on 20 December 2023.


2


Subject to approval from shareholders, the new capital is being raised at 8 cents per share. The raise

will be via a partially underwritten non-renounceable rights issue, providing all shareholders the

opportunity to participate in the raise should they wish to do so.

Licensing Deal for Me Today brand In China

Me Today has signed a ‘heads of agreement’ with a large Chinese sports nutrition company for a

licensing arrangement which will see Me Today included in its extensive product portfolio. The heads

of agreement includes an upfront payment for the use of the Me Today trademark and sets out the

basis under which a long-term licensing arrangement would operate.

The arrangement is an exciting partnership for the Me Today brand which, as well as creating new

revenue, will increase global brand visibility, provide access to new product development concepts

and potential manufacturing benefits from economies of scale, including potentially more

competitive pricing on bulk raw materials.

Debt Restructure

Following the acquisition of King Honey, the Group has borrowings of $7.0m with the BNZ and a

subordinated note payable to the Jarvis Trust of $5.5m. Given the performance of the King Honey

business, payments to both the BNZ and the Jarvis Trust have not been able to be made as

scheduled. The group has therefore agreed new terms with the lenders.

The loans payable to the BNZ and the Jarvis Trust have different security profiles. The BNZ debt is

secured by a first ranking general security agreement over the entire Me Today group and its

subsidiaries. The Jarvis debt is secured by a second ranking general security agreement over just the

King Honey business.

As part of the agreement to inject new capital into Me Today Limited, the BNZ has agreed that Me

Today Limited be removed from the debt security group, except for an amount of $2m. The $2m

continues to rank ahead of the Jarvis Trust.

The restructure is a comprehensive proposal to ring fence the Me Today business from the King

Honey business while the group works to sell King Honey.

Trading Update

Me Today and the Good Brand Company

The founders of Me Today, Michael Kerr, Grant Baker and Stephen Sinclair, continue to believe in

the strength of the Me Today brand and say they want to continue to support the growth of this

through the proposed capital raise.

Currently, the Me Today brand is sold in seven international markets including New Zealand,

Australia, USA, China, Japan, Ireland and the UAE. Me Today produces approximately 70 different

products across the three distinct categories of Natural Skincare, Manuka Honey and Supplements.

In development is a new supplement range that focuses on anti-aging and regeneration.

In New Zealand the brand is distributed nationwide in approximately 500 retail outlets across

pharmacy, health stores, grocery and gift stores. The brand is in discussion with a local retail group

in respect to a range which is specific to its consumer base, and hopes to launch this range in stores

during mid-2024.


3


In the US the Me Today brand continues to grow its online business through its presence on three

large online platforms. In retail, Me Today Manuka is about to be stocked in a large US grocery chain,

with that retailer also recently agreeing to stock the Me Today Skincare range in their 400 stores

from late April.

In support of its US market development, the brand has also taken space at the upcoming ‘Expo

West’ trade show in Anaheim in Mid-March, where Michael Kerr and the team will showcase it to a

large wholesale audience.

These developments complement the new China licensing agreement highlighted above well to

underpin good progress in the trading outlook for Me Today. Further updates will be provided once

the licensing agreement is fully negotiated and signed.

King Honey and Manuka Honey

The Group remains committed to optimizing performance of the King Honey business until a sale is

achieved, albeit acknowledging tough market operating conditions.

There are three separate strategies in place to grow the sales of Manuka as follows:

• Access Corporate Group (ACG) and the BEE+ Brand

• Branded opportunity though Me Today and SuperLife

• Contract pack and OEM opportunities.

King Honey continues to partner with ACG in respect to the BEE+ brand. The brand is established in

the Chinese market and continues to be a focus for ACG. ACG have placed purchase orders with King

Honey for products to be delivered between now and 30 June. Discussions are centered on the design

look and feel of the brand and marketing initiatives to drive brand growth. In addition, ACG are looking

to expand the product offering of the BEE+ brand into other wellness categories. Discussions are

ongoing with the next meeting with the ACG team scheduled for mid-March.

The most secure opportunity to create sales of Manuka Honey is through established brands. The

Manuka Honey industry is competitive and currently price conscious, meaning a point of difference

through brand is even more important. The highest interest in branded sales comes through the Me

Today brand and its ability to offer a point of difference through the multi category approach including

Supplements and Skincare. In the situations where brand is not as important, and there is an

opportunity based on price, then ‘SuperLife’ is available as a brand alternative to the customer.

In addition, King Honey continues to provide contract pack and OEM services to a number of

customers. It receives regular inbound enquiry in this area. The focus of this customer is price, and

King Honey will be price competitive whilst ensuring it can recover the carrying value of Manuka Honey

inventory.

2024 Harvest

The harvest of Manuka Honey from the 23/24 season is underway. Initial indications are that the

season will be strong. The weather patterns through the summer have provided more productive

conditions, especially in comparison to the previous season which was impacted by cyclone and

extreme flooding events. We expect the volume harvested to be higher than the 22/23 season off half

the number of hives in the field.

Refocused management structure

Given the challenges created by the King Honey acquisition and the resulting restructure plan, the

potential is for management time to become absorbed by the restructure. Structuring, asset sales

and funding also require a different skill set and focus.

The board have reviewed its operating structure, and the decision has been taken to appoint

Stephen Sinclair to the role of CEO for the group.

This change in structure will allow Michael Kerr, founder of the Me Today brand, to focus on the

growth of Me Today in New Zealand and internationally, as well as wider sales and marketing for the

Group including King Honey.

This change in management structure will take effect immediately.

We are confident that by focusing on Me Today brand growth, resolving King Honey challenges, and

pursuing international opportunities, we will improve value for all stakeholders. We remain

committed to open communication and will continue to update you on our progress.

Half Year Results Further explained.

The key aspects of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the six months to

31 December 2023 are explained further below:

• The operating EBITDA loss for the Group was $2.22m, split between the business divisions as

follows.

o The Me Today sale of goods and agency services segments combined operating EBITDA loss

was $0.81m compared to an EBITDA loss of $1.33m for the 6 months ended 31 December

2022.

o The King Honey segment operating EBITDA loss was $0.77m compared to an EBITDA loss of

$1.06m for the 6 months period ended 31 December 2022.

o The listed company and shared services operating costs were $0.65m compared to $0.69m

for the 6 months ended 31 December 2022.

Deducted from operating EBITDA were expenses amounting to $5.03m resulting in a net loss after

tax of $7.25m.

The $5.03m of expenses consisted of the following.

• Finance Costs $0.33m

• Fair Value loss on Biological assets $0.35m

• Depreciation and Amortisation $0.18m

• Amortisation of Customer Relationship asset $0.54m

• Impairment of Customer Relationship asset $3.45m

o Amortisation and impairment of the Customer Relationship Asset

As part of the review of the half year financial statements the directors completed a discounted

cashflow valuation of the King Honey cash generating unit. Following the completion of this

assessment a decision has been taken to write down the intangible asset completely. The half

year financial statements record an amortization of the asset of $0.54m and an impairment of

$3.45m. The value of this at 31 December 2023 is now recorded as zero in the financial

statements.
