AUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2024


CASH BURN SLOWS; COVERAGE CATALYSTS IN FOCUS


FINANCIAL AND PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

1


• Operating revenue increases 22% to $23.9 million; total revenue increases 12% to $29.3

million lifted by a 2% rise in commercial Cxbladder test volumes in the US market and

increased collections.

• Average US Sales Price (ASP)

2

per test increased 18% from US$519 in 2H 23 to US$613

in 2H 24 following improvements in cash collection and increased volumes from our major

private payer Kaiser Permanente.

• Total laboratory throughput

3

(TLT) of Cxbladder tests increases 3% to 32,633 tests,

commercial tests increased 2% to 27,347 with the rate of growth slowing in 2H 24 as the

sales team was reduced and further attrition of the team was not backfilled to preserve

capital.

• Cash burn reduced in 2H 24 to $11.9 million, down 24% on 1H 24 following reorganization;

use of capital tightly focused on long-term strategic imperatives. Net loss after tax increases

to $29.5 million from $27.0 million.

• End of period cash and cash equivalents of $50.3 million down from $62.2 million in

September 2023; a runway expected to be sufficient to support the company through to

regaining coverage in the event of a Medicare non-coverage determination.

STRATEGIC HIGHLIGHTS

• Refocused our operations on clinical development for Detect

+

and Monitor

+

for guidelines

inclusion and coverage certainty.

• STRATA

4

published in the Journal of Urology on May 3, 2024, 9 months ahead of prior

target; the study provides the strongest evidence yet for the inclusion of Cxbladder in

guidelines and featured prominently at the American Urological Association (AUA) annual

conference.

• Restructured our commercial operations on profitable territories and non-Medicare revenue

streams; sales messaging focused on clinical and economic value of Cxbladder.

• Achieved strong improvements in commercial team performance: sales force efficiency

(total tests/average FTE) rises 59% from Q4 23 to Q4 24; and the team is now operating

at breakeven.

• Awaiting a finalization of the draft ‘Genetic testing for oncology’ (DL39365) Medicare Local

Coverage Determination; Pacific Edge is prepared for all outcomes.

DUNEDIN, New Zealand – Pacific Edge (NZX, ASX: PEB) today reports successful execution

of strategic initiatives to focus the company on the development of its advanced cancer

diagnostic tests for inclusion in clinical guidelines and gaining coverage certainty from

Medicare and other healthcare payers.

Operating revenue increased 22% to $23.9 million from $19.6 million in FY 23, slowed by the

underlying reduction in commercial test volume in 2H 24. Total laboratory throughput (TLT)

growth slowed in the second half of the year. This followed the reduction of the sales team in

Q2 24 to drive efficiency and preserve capital as the company waits for the finalization of the

draft ‘Genetic testing for oncology’ (DL 39365) Medicare coverage determination. TLT

increased 3% to 32,633 tests from 31,565 in FY 23 while commercial test volumes increased

2% to 27,347 tests from 26,691 in FY 23.

Operating revenue was also supported by an 18% improvement in the US average sales price

(ASP; average US dollar revenue/commercial tests) from US$519 in 2H 23 to US$613 in 2H

24. This result followed from improvements in collection processes (see below), an increase in

volume of tests from our major US customer Kaiser Permanente and Medicare coverage of

Triage since January 2023. Total revenue, which includes interest income on cash reserves,

government grants and foreign exchange movements, increased 12% to $29.3 million from

$26.1 million in the same period a year ago. The net loss for the year of $29.5 million was wider

than the $27.0 million in the prior year as the company continued to invest in long-term growth

initiatives and incurred one-off restructuring costs.

Cash burn fell sharply in 2H 24 to $11.9 million, down 24% on 1H 24 following the

reorganization. Pacific Edge ended the period with cash, cash equivalents and short-term

deposits of $50.3 million down from $62.2 million in September 2023.

Chairman Chris Gallaher said: “The Board is pleased with the progress Peter and his team

have made as we work towards gaining certainty on Medicare coverage of our tests. They

have acted swiftly regarding the need to preserve capital through uncertainty and retained their

focus on the strategic imperatives in clinical evidence generation that will underpin our future

success and prepare the company for all outcomes.

“As announced in March, I will be stepping down as the Chairman of Pacific Edge at the end

of the year. The Board is working through the Nominations Committee to identify my successor

who will lead the Company into the next phase of its development.”

Chief Executive Dr Peter Meintjes said: “I remain confident in our ability to navigate the

challenges we’ve faced regarding coverage and the normal hurdles faced by fast-growing

companies. We are a more efficient organization and will continue to execute on the strategies

that justify confidence in our long-term prospects.”

STRATEGIC PROGRESS

Pacific Edge has refocused on the clinical development of our new Detect

+

and Monitor

+

tests

for guidelines inclusion and coverage certainty, no matter the outcome of the impending

3

Medicare local coverage determination. We are delighted to report that this strategy is already

delivering on its goals.

Our sales strategy prioritizes profitable sales territories, non-Medicare revenue streams and

cash preservation over top line revenue growth alone. We have aligned our sales messaging

to embed the clinical value of Cxbladder to the physician and patient, and its economic value

to health systems and payers.

The shift in focus has delivered improvements in the US commercial team’s performance: sales

force efficiency (total tests/average FTE) has risen 59% from 239 in Q4 23 to 381 in Q4 24.

The sales team is now operating at breakeven.

US clinical commitment to Cxbladder is steady at 6.7 tests per unique ordering clinician

although the number of ordering clinicians has fallen. This result reflects the reduced reach of

our team but demonstrates the improvement in clinical mix in favor of clinicians that understand

the clinical utility of our tests.

Improved US collection processes have delivered what we believe will be an enduring lift in

ASP from US$519 in 2H 23 to US$613 in 2H 24. These processes include initiatives to ensure

patients with non-contracted private payers take responsibility for test payments (a program

that will be rolled out to Medicare patients in the event of a non-coverage determination). The

ASP has also been supported by ongoing initiatives to digitalize Cxbladder information flows

that improve test ordering, resulting in improved payment collection.

More broadly we have diversified our revenue streams reaching out to new growth territories

in Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Australia that over the longer term can be

developed to deliver meaningful demand for Cxbladder. In the last year this has seen the

appointment of six distributors of our tests.

We have continued to advance the commercialization of Detect

+

, the first of our tests to be

brought to market deploying performance enhancing DNA biomarkers. The test’s CPT

4

code

became effective at the start of this calendar year and our attention is now focused on Medicare

pricing of the test. This price will set a benchmark price for all other US healthcare payers.

If we are successful in our goal to have the test priced via the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid

Services (CMS) ‘Crosswalk’ process, we see the potential for a higher price and higher margin

than our existing tests, a result that would strengthen the underlying economics of the direct

sales team and the company.

Our clinical evidence generation program is operating within a structured framework for

Analytical Validity (AV), Clinical Validity (CV) and Clinical Utility (CU), the endpoints required

for coverage decisions and guideline inclusion.


4

A CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) code is a medical code used to describe medical, surgical, and diagnostic

services and procedures in the US healthcare system.

4

Our STRATA study achieved the significant milestone of publication in the Journal of Urology

in May, nine months ahead of schedule. The study headlined at the American Urological

Association (AUA) annual conference, the world’s largest urological meeting, and provides the

strongest evidence yet for the inclusion of Cxbladder in guidelines for hematuria evaluation.

Specifically, it demonstrated Cxbladder can safely and more effectively risk-stratify low risk

hematuria patients when compared to AUA guidelines, thereby reducing the number of

unnecessary invasive cystoscopies.

Over the next two years the publication of results from our DRIVE and microDRIVE studies are

expected to provide new CV evidence for Triage and Detect

+

, while a separate study will

demonstrate the Analytical Validity of all our current generation of tests under a new protocol

that automates the RNA extraction. All publications offer new opportunities for guideline

inclusion and, in the event of a non-coverage determination, an opportunity to seek

reconsideration of coverage.

Finally, the company’s research and development efforts have been orientated toward the

launch of Detect

+

and Monitor

+

. Simultaneously, we have focused on our Cxbladder

simplification projects that aim to reduce technician operator times, reduce sample turnaround

times and lower the cost of goods. These changes simplify the workflow for a potential kit-

based product distribution and decentralized deployment as an IVD in international markets.

GOVERNANCE

Pacific Edge has continued to evolve its governance framework. A key focus is now on the

succession plans for Mr Gallaher and Independent Director Mark Green, who both notified

Pacific Edge of their intention to retire later this year. The Board’s Nomination Committee has

begun a process to recruit new Directors.

Meanwhile, in our Annual Report to be published in late June we will release our first Climate

Related Disclosure report in compliance with the new Aotearoa New Zealand Climate

Standards. We will also detail the changes we have made to deliver on the environmental,

social and governance expectations of our stakeholders.

OUTLOOK

Dr Meintjes said the finalization of the Medicare coverage determination remains the biggest

determinant of the company’s prospects for the immediate future, with a decision due by 26

July 2024

5

.

“A non-coverage determination is likely to impact US volumes, but we are well prepared with

plans to regain coverage and, should coverage be affirmed, rebuild the momentum in the

clinical adoption of Cxbladder in the US and around the world.

“In the event of a non-coverage determination, these strategies include a potential legal

challenge to the determination; Medicare patients assuming responsibility for the payment of


5

US time (27 July New Zealand time)

5

Cxbladder tests; and the continued advancement of our clinical evidence program, which will

give us multiple opportunities to seek a Medicare coverage reconsideration,” Dr Meintjes said.

“Meanwhile, we see several catalysts to the company accelerating the adoption of Cxbladder

and driving improvements in shareholder value. In addition to a positive Medicare

determination, these include the favorable pricing of Detect

+

and then the launch of the test,

targeted for early 2025. The publication of new clinical evidence, meanwhile, offers new

opportunities for the inclusion of our tests in clinical guidelines.

“We remain confident of our prospects in both the short and long-term and look forward to

updating you on our progress in the coming months,” Dr Meintjes said.

CAPITAL PRESERVATION AND NEW REVENUE SOURCES DELIVERS RESILIENCE

COMMITTED TO MAINTAINING A STRONG BALANCE SHEET

•Pacific Edge continues to manage its cash reserves so - in the event

of an adverse Medicare coverage decision - we have a cash runway

to regain coverage.

•Cash reserves of $50.3m; cash burn of$11.9m in 2H 24 vs$15.6m

in 1H24.

STRATEGIC RESPONSE TO MEDICARE DELIVERING GAINS

•Restructured US sales operations and introduced patient

responsibility.

•Deeper focus on larger or value-based institutional accounts and

capitated systems (pop: ~13.2m patients).

•Refocused clinical evidence development, coverage and guidelines

for coverage certainty.

•Ex-US opportunities through distributors: ProGenetics (Israel) and

SouthGenetics (multiple LATAM countries).

•Considering alternative Medicare Administrative Contractor, LCD

Challenge & new LCDs.

EXTENDING OUR REACH THROUGH DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

APAC & HEAD OFFICE STRATEGY SHIFT COMPLETE

•Cash burn is now driven almost entirely by long-term strategic

imperatives.

•Development of growth markets in Australia and Asia.

•Distribution agreements Transviet (Vietnam), Hi-Precision (Philippines)

and WellSpring (Malaysia) and Emmed (Brunei) delivering small but

increasing volumes.

FOUNDATIONS FOR GROWTH - US TEST VOLUMES STABILISE

•Throughput has reduced by 22% from 7,816 test/quarter in Q4

23 to 6,099 in Q4 24 as the average sales team for the quarter

has reduced by 51%.

•Most-recent QoQ throughput volume is steady (6,099 in Q4 24

over 6,041 in Q3 24) despite further reduction in sales FTEs.

•Sales territories are larger and more challenging for sales reps,

but focus has been on larger, more reliable accounts.

•Messaging has focused on communicating the clinical value of

Cxbladder for risk stratification to reduce cystoscopies and the

associated economics of adopting on all appropriate patients.

•Customer Relationship Management (CRM) rollout

expanded beyond sales to all commercial teams.

•EMR integration went live in Nov 2023 across the Southern California

Permanente Medical Group (Kaiser SoCal) streamlining sample collection,

test ordering and test resulting for Triage and Monitor.

•All 15 Kaiser SoCal sites are now ordering and volumes increasing steadily.

•Primarily adopted for Triage, Monitor volume is beginning to rise as

clinicians become increasingly familiar with Cxbladder.

•Ordering by nurses and clinical assistants suggests accounts are following

the protocols on all eligible patients for Triage and Monitor.

•Kaiser SoCal represents ~37% of the >12.6m members covered Kaiser

Permanente means plenty of growth opportunity remains within SoCal.

•NorCal and other regions remain a longer-term priority following success

in SoCal.

STRATEGIC RESPONSES TO THE IMPENDING MEDICARE DETERMINATION

OUR RESPONSE TO AN AFFIRMATION OF COVERAGE

•Strategic review to accelerate the US adoption of

Cxbladder among patients, clinicians, and healthcare

payers.

OUR RESPONSE TO A LOSS OF COVERAGE

•Explore legal options supported by customers, industry

partners and other impacted companies.

•Immediately extend our ‘enhanced patient responsibility’

from commercially insured patients to include patients

covered by Medicare.

•Further review the structure of our operations and our

strategy to reduce cash burn in line with our plan to

regain Medicare coverage within our existing cash

reserves.

•Continue to explore other strategic alternatives for Pacific

Edge that could support the company through to

regaining Medicare coverage and advancing the

commercialization of Cxbladder globally.

LONG TERM VALUE CREATION STRATEGIES WILL CONTINUE

•Continue to advance our clinical evidence generation program for

inclusion in AUA and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network

(NCCN) Guidelines for increased coverage certainty.

FDA PUBLISHES FINAL RULE TO REGULATE LAB DEVELOPED TESTS

US FDA REGULATION PUBLISHED. FACES HURDLES

•The FDA

1

published a final rule on 29 April 2024 asserting that it has the right to regulate

LDTslike Cxbladder as Medical Devices under the Medical Device Amendments of 1976.

•Enforcement discretion for pre-market approval (PMA) has been proposed for currently

marketed tests that are NYS accredited, meaning that existing Cxbladder tests will receive

enforcement discretion.

•New Cxbladder tests may be required to follow the steps of the ‘Phase Out’ of

enforcement discretion, but currently pose no risk to Detect

+

launch plans

•Pacific Edge’s position

•Pacific Edge supports and welcomes FDA regulation through an Act of Congress,

e.g. VALID

2

Act (failed to pass Congress in 2022).

•Pacific Edge does not support regulation under the Medical Device Amendments of

1976.

•Pacific Edge is prepared and already adapting

•While some requirements will be specific to the FDA, most are captured by other

regulatory bodies (CLIA, CAP & NYS

3

) with which we already comply.

•Pacific Edge continues to believe that the FDA will face legal and resourcing

challenges and that timelines are likely to be adjusted.

•Pacific Edge actively resources its R&D, clinical development, digital development

and clinical operations to maintain compliance with all regulatory requirements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

1. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

Reporting Entity

The consolidated financial statements (hereafter referred to as the ‘financial statements’) presented for the year

ended 31 March 2024 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 20th May 2024.

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 Accounting

Standards (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) as issued by the IASB.

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 2024 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

The Group has performed an 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 material accounting policy information has been applied on a basis consistent with those used in the

audited financial statements of Pacific Edge Limited for the year ended 31 March 2023.

2. NEW STANDARDS

NEW DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS AND CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP

On 14 December 2022 the External Reporting Board (XRB) published its climate-related disclosure standard. The

mandatory reporting regime is for reporting periods beginning after 1 January 2023. Climate-related disclosures

will be reported at the time of issuance of the Annual Report.

There are other no new disclosures, standards or interpretations material to the Group to be applied during the

year.

NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED BY THE GROUP

The following new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for

31 March 2024 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18)

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18) was issued in April 2024 as replacement for

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (IAS 1). Most of the presentation and disclosure requirements would

largely remain unchanged together with other disclosures carried forward from IAS 1 IFRS 18 primarily introduces

the following:

• a defined structure for the consolidated statement of comprehensive income by classifying items into one

of the five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations. Entities will

also present expenses in the operating category by nature, function, or a mix of both, based on facts and

circumstances

• disclosure of management-defined performance measures non-GAAP measures in a single note together with

reconciliation requirements, and

• additional guidance on aggregation and disaggregation principles (applied to all primary financial statements

and notes).

IFRS 18 also made limited change to certain presentation and disclosure requirements in the financial statements;

as well as consequential changes to various IFRS Accounting Standards.

IFRS 18 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 and entities could

early adopt this accounting standard. The Group expects to adopt IFRS 18 and relevant consequential changes of

other accounting standards in the 2028 financial statements. The Group is currently assessing the impact and will

disclose more detailed assessments in the future.

Disclosure of Fees for Audit Firms’ Services (Amendments to FRS-44)

The amendments to FRS-44 aim to address concerns about the quality and consistency of disclosures an entity

provides about fees paid to its audit firm for different type of services.

Application of this amendment is required for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. The Group

expects to adopt amendments to FRS-44 in the 2025 financial statements. The Group is currently assessing the

impact and will disclose more detailed assessment in the future.

There are no other NZ IFRS or NZ IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a

material impact on the Group.

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).

Earnings per share (0.036) (0.033)

(b) Diluted

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding to

assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group’s dilutive potential ordinary shares are in the

form of share options. As the Group made a loss during the current year and losses cannot be diluted, basic and

diluted earnings per share are the same.

4. LABORATORY THROUGHPUT AND COMMERCIAL TESTS –

NON-GAAP REPORTING

Laboratory Throughput is a key metric for the Group: Laboratory Throughput provides evidence of the usage

of Cxbladder products globally and the rates of adoption between different customer segments. The inclusion

of this non-GAAP reporting is considered helpful to readers of these 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 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 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

companies 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.

Refer to note 25 for details on the proposed Local Coverage Determination change that has the potential to

negatively impact future revenue.

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.

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.

On return of the test result, the Group has determined a contract exists, that the payment terms are identified, that

the contract has commercial substance and there has been identification of the rights of each party.

On the 3 July 2020, Pacific Edge received notice of inclusion in the LCD, resulting in the Company receiving

reimbursement for Cxbladder Monitor and Detect tests performed after 1 July 2020 for patients covered by

the CMS across the US that are deemed medically necessary. Reimbursement for these tests is at the already

determined national CMS price for Cxbladder of US$760 per test, 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 customers covered by Kaiser Permanente.

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, Kaiser Permanente or

the commercial health insurance carriers that provide Medicare Advantage may be paid at less than our standard

rates or not paid at all, with such differences considered implicit price concessions. Variable consideration

attributable to these price concessions is measured at the expected value, and are determined by historical average

collection rates by test type and payor category taking into consideration the range of possible outcomes and

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 2023 to 31 March 2024 (6 months prior to balance date)

for which payment has not been received by 31 March 2024 from CMS and Medicare Advantage. Following a

change in commercial agreement, revenue for Kaiser Permanente is recognised in the month the test is performed.


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 Southeast

Asia. 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.

For the year ended 31 March 2024, Group revenue is over $20m Australian Dollars, resulting in research rebates

being issued as a tax credit instead of a cash payment as received for the year ended 31 March 2023. As the

Group made a loss for period, this change results in the research rebate not being recognised as a tax credit in the

financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.

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 2024

financial year, 906,000 (2023: 278,000) ordinary shares were issued to employees as part of the Employee Share

Scheme. The associated non-cash cost of these shares was $83,000 (2023: $182,000). 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.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2024
16

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

Options issued after 1 April 2022 generally vest equally in three tranches 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.

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 options expense for the year ended 31 March 2024 was $1,189,000 (2023:

$1,273,000).

The fair value is determined at the grant date of the options and expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting

period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase

in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revisits its estimate of the number of equity instruments

expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the Consolidated

Statement of Comprehensive Income such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a

corresponding adjustment to the share based payments reserve.

During the financial year ended 31 March 2024, there were no share options exercised (2023: Nil). There was no

resulting in increase in share capital (2023: Nil).

Movements in the number of options outstanding and their related weighted average exercise prices are as follows:

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 50-106%, 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 5.63%.

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

Leasehold Improvements 6% to 10% SL

Furniture and Fittings 5% to 25% DV

The assets’ useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

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 previous 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 2024, 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 2024 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

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 $260,000 (2023: $337,000) 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

$491,000 and increase/reduce equity by the same amount (2023: $764,000).

(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 2024
31

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

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

31 March 2024 expressed as a percentage of total assets: 21.8% at ANZ, 23.3% at BNZ, 7.1% at Westpac, 22.9% at

Kiwibank and 1.6% 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 Kaiser Permanente, 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 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 for which payment has not been received by 31 March 2024.

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:

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.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2024
34

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

Right-of-Use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on

a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the Right-of-Use asset is

depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis

as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets

include IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

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

ARTICLE (LCA) CHANGES - POTENTIAL IMPACT ON REVENUE

As described in Note 5, on 3 July 2020* Pacific Edge received notice of inclusion in the LCD resulting in the

Company receiving reimbursement for Cxbladder Monitor and Detect test from that date.

On 29 July 2022*, Pacific Edge became aware of proposed changes to the LCD/LCA whereby if the proposed

changes were issued as published then Cxbladder would no longer have coverage and the Company would not

qualify for reimbursement.

On 2 June 2023* Novitas, the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) with jurisdiction for Pacific Edge’s

US laboratory issued a final Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L39365 that governs the reimbursement

of Cxbladder in the US by the US Centres for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The LCD determined that

Cxbladder would not qualify for coverage from Novitas for tests reimbursed by the CMS from 17 July 2023*. These

tests represent a significant portion of current Cxbladder testing revenue. Multiple companies that had existing

coverage or are seeking coverage, were similarly impacted by this proposal.

On the 6 July 2023* Pacific Edge received notification that LCD L39365 would not become final and Novitas would

propose it again as a draft LCD DL39365. The new draft would be subject to ‘notice and comment’ for 45 days

including an open public meeting and a written comment submission period.

On the 27 July 2023* Pacific Edge became aware that Novitas had republished the LCD (DL39365) without any

changes from LCD L39365, which if approved without further changes would mean Cxbladder (and multiple other

products from various companies) would not qualify for coverage from Novitas for tests reimbursed by the CMS.

Novitas provided for the statutory requirement for a 45-day notice and comment period commencing 27 July

2023* and finishing 9 September 2023*, during which time all interested stakeholders were able to submit

comments to Novitas. Pacific Edge, and a number of impacted parties submitted written submissions that argue

Cxbladder Triage, Detect and Monitor tests should retain Medicare coverage based on the clinical value they offer

to patients, clinicians, and healthcare payers.

Novitas may take up to 365 days from the original publication date (27 July 2023*) to withdraw or finalize the

LCD including a response to those comments. When finalized, Novitas must provide a minimum of 45 days’ notice

before the LCD becomes effective.

Pacific Edge received payment in line with the existing LCD/LCA (Local Coverage Article) for the twelve months

ended 31 March 2024, and to the date of approval of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

In the year to 31 March 2024, tests processed through our laboratory for Medicare and Medicare Advantage

patients represented approximately 60% of US commercial test volumes and generated approximately NZ $17.0m,

or 71% of Pacific Edge’s total operating revenue.

Whilst the LCD has yet to be finalised and the full impact on the Group is unable to be determined, management

and the Board have modelled a number scenarios relating to possible LCD outcomes. Under all modelled scenarios

there is sufficient liquidity in the form of cash and short term deposits to meet obligations and continue for the

foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Accordingly, it is

the Board’s view that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant

doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the purpose of these financial statements.

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 2024, 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 Accounting Standards (IFRS

Accounting Standards).

What we have audited

The Group's consolidated financial statements comprise:


the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2024;

● 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, comprising material accounting policy

information 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 the

provision of training workshops. The provision of these other services and relationships 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. As disclosed

in note 25, on 27 July 2023 a draft LCD was

published which if approved without any changes

would mean that CxBladder tests would not

qualify for reimbursement. 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 US derived revenue for tests performed for

CMS, Medicare Advantage and Kaiser

Permanente have been recognised in advance of

cash being received. Revenue for these

customers is recognised once the test is invoiced.

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 judgements 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, Medicare Advantage

and Kaiser Permanente 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 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

receivables to test collection rates; and

● Evaluated whether revenue has been

recognised appropriately in accordance with

NZ IFRS 15.

Our audit approach
Overview

Overall group materiality: $769,000, which represents approximately

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.

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, and the climate statement to be published at a later date. The Annual

Report and climate statement are 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 Accounting Standards,

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
