AUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

MEDICARE COVERAGE CATALYSTS IN FOCUS

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

announces steady financial performance for the six months to the end of September 2024 as

it awaits the outcome of several events that have the potential to renew growth in Cxbladder

test volume and revenue.

These catalysts include Medicare Administrative Contractor, Novitas, making a favorable

policy decision on the draft ‘Genetic testing for oncology’ Local Coverage Determination

(DL39365); the American Urological Association (AUA) ongoing review of microhematuria

standards of care leading to language favorable to Cxbladder in its new guidelines; and the

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalizing pricing recommendations for the

company’s next generation test, Cxbladder Triage Plus, that recognize its clinical and

economic value.

1H 25 FINANCIAL AND PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

1


• Operating revenue increases 1.4% on 2H 24 to $11.0 million; down 16.3% on 1H 24

reflecting Medicare uncertainty and the reduced reach of a smaller sales team. Total

revenue is down 4.4% on 2H 24 to $12.2 million

• Total laboratory throughput

2

(TLT) of Cxbladder tests down 1.1% on 2H 24 to 14,233; down

22.0% on 1H 24, commercial tests increased 3.2% on 2H 24 to 12,323 tests

• Strong performance from the Southern California Permanente Medical Group, increased

APAC volume and sustained sales force efficiencies dilute the impact of Medicare

uncertainty on test volume demand

• US test sales/FTE of 379, down 3.8% on Q1 25; US ASP

3

increases to US$618 vs US$613

in 2H 24 and $562 in 1H 24 as operating efficiencies and cash collection gains achieved in

2H 24 retained

• Net loss after tax of $14.5 million, steady on the $14.3 million net loss in 2H 24, down 4.9%

on 1H 24 net loss of $15.3 million

• Cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits at $35.9 million; cash burn of $14.3

million is higher than $11.9 million in 2H 24, but steady after adjusting for the seasonal

impact of higher weighting of costs in 1H 25

1H 25 STRATEGIC HIGHLIGHTS

• Commercial operation retains its focus on profitable territories, non-Medicare revenue

streams and selling the clinical and economic value of Cxbladder

• Triage Plus launch plans advance; awaiting Medicare reimbursement clarity and CMS

pricing that reflects the test’s clinical and economic value

• STRATA published in the Journal of Urology (May 2024) establishing clinical utility of

Cxbladder Triage; DRIVE study for the clinical validation of Triage Plus has completed

enrolment and is on track for publication in Q1 FY26; STRATA concordance study on track

for publication by 2Q FY 26

• Maintained dialogue with CMS, Novitas, C21

and others regarding

‘Genetic testing for oncology’ LCD (DL39365)

• Integrated Cxbladder with Lumea Digital (US) laboratory information system and preparing

for the launch of the Pacific Edge customer portal to digitalize the customer experience for

patients and healthcare providers

Chair Chris Gallaher said: “While testing volume remains subdued as a consequence of our

efforts to preserve capital, operating revenue has increased on the second half of FY 2024,

net losses and operating cash burn have been steady on the same period. With $35.9 million

in reserves as at the end of September, the company has sufficient capital to re-establish

reliable reimbursement for our tests in the event of a negative determination from Novitas.”

Chief Executive Dr Peter Meintjes said: “I am delighted with the progress we have made

against our strategic objectives in all areas of the business. We have sustained our improved

sales force efficiency and cash collections metrics, advanced our core priorities in clinical

evidence generation, digitalization, lab operations and customer experience, while continuing

to conserve capital wherever possible.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Operating revenue of $11.0 million was up 1.4% from $10.8 million in 2H 24, but down 16.3%

on 1H 24 reflecting the reduction in test volume in the wake of the ongoing Medicare uncertainty

and the reduced reach of the sales team following the restructuring at the start of 2H 24.

TLT of 14,233 tests was down 1.1% on the 14,393 tests in 2H 24 and down 22.0% on the

18,240 tests in 1H 24. Rising demand from the Southern California Permanente Medical

Group, rising APAC volumes and the sustained sales force efficiencies achieved as part of the

restructuring provided some mitigation to the impact of Medicare uncertainty. Commercial test

volumes rose 3.2% on 2H 24 to 12,323 tests.

The average sales price of commercial tests in the half year increased to US$618 vs US$613

in 2H 24 and $562 in 1H 24 demonstrating that we have cemented these improvements in

cash collection. As disclosed in our Q2 25 investor update, sales per average FTE in Q2 25

was down to 379 tests from 394 in the prior quarter, consistent with the lower US volumes.

Tests per unique ordering clinician (our preferred metric for measuring customer commitment

to Cxbladder) was down slightly to 6.4 in Q2 25 from 6.8 in Q1 25 reflecting the lower volume

in the quarter (ordering clinicians in Q2 25 was slightly higher at 890).

The net loss after tax of $14.5 million was steady on the 2H 24 net loss after tax of $14.3

million, but 4.9% lower than 1H 24 reflecting the benefits of the cash conservation initiatives.

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits stood at $35.9 million at the end of

September 2024, down from $50.3 million at the end of March 2024. The cash burn of $14.3

million in 1H 25 was higher than the $11.9 million in 2H 24, with the first half of each financial

year incurring a higher cash spend related to payments that cover a 12-month period.

Excluding this higher weighting of spend in the first half of the financial year, the underlying

cash burn was steady as operating cash conservation initiatives continued to deliver.

STRATEGIC PROGRESS

Our US commercial operations remain focused on profitable territories, non-Medicare revenue

streams and selling the clinical and economic value of Cxbladder. Our front-line sales team is

operating at break even.

The moves to extend our global reach and diversify our revenue with distribution agreements

in Israel, Latin America and Southeast Asia are showing early promise, delivering still small

but steadily growing test volumes from these markets.

Supported by urological professional societies, industry partners, clinicians, and patient

advocacy groups, we believe we have made every effort to assist Novitas and the AUA to make

pragmatic decisions that recognize the clinical and economic value of our tests.

Notably we brought forward the publication of our STRATA study – the first randomized control

trial of a urine biomarker – to ensure Novitas and the AUA’s timely consideration of what is the

strongest evidence yet of Cxbladder’s clinical utility. We have also prepared plans to revert to

growth as reliable reimbursement milestones are achieved.

We have advanced our clinical evidence generation program, and we remain confident that,

over time, it will assist us to embed our existing and next generation tests in clinical guidelines,

change clinical practice among physicians and drive changes to medical policy at Medicare

and other healthcare payers.

The DRIVE Study and STRATA Concordance Study are on track for publication by mid-2025.

DRIVE has completed patient enrolment and is targeted at demonstrating the clinical validation

of Triage Plus, while the concordance study seeks to demonstrate the clinical utility of the test

by comparison of Triage Plus to Triage. In the event of a Medicare non-coverage

determination, these publications will be used as the basis of a Medicare coverage

reconsideration request.

Finally, we have continued to invest in medical affairs and the digitalization initiatives that will

further drive the adoption of our tests and improve the experience for clinicians and patients.

During 1H 25 we have completed an integration of our systems with Lumea Digital – a

pathology lab in the US with deep ties to hundreds of urology clinics in the US and made great

advancements towards deploying our customer portal, expected before the end of the calendar

year.

OUTLOOK

Pacific Edge is focused on establishing reliable reimbursement for Triage Plus as a precursor

to a broader commercial launch, which we anticipate in 2025.

“While headwinds remain a possibility, there are more potential catalysts to renew growth in

the US than headwinds for Pacific Edge ahead in 2025. We also benefit from a more effective,

efficient and disciplined team to drive growth with improved underlying economics. We look

forward to updating investors on our progress,” Dr Meintjes said.

some mitigation to the impact of Medicare uncertainty

•Throughput has reduced by 34.1% from a peak of 8,627

test/quarter in Q1 24 to 5,682 in Q2 25 as the sales team

reduced in 2H 24 and no backfill appointments in sales force

•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

US SALES FORCE EFFICIENCY

US CLINICAL COMMITMENT

•Sales FTE down to an average of 15.0 in Q2 25 from 32.7 in

Q4 23 as we focused on cash conservation:

•Sales FTEs were reduced by restructure in late Q2 24

•Sales FTEs leaving the business are backfilled only

when sales force breakeven can be maintained

•Sales force efficiency (total tests/average FTE) sustained up

59% from 239 in Q4 23 to 379 in Q2 25:

•More effective core sales team

•Focus on the most profitable territories/accounts

•Tests/US ordering clinician stable, but ordering clinicians fall

against 1H 24:

•Change in clinical mix in favor of clinicians that

understand the clinical utility of Cxbladder

•Reduced reach of the direct sales team

FOUNDATIONS FOR GROWTH - US CASH COLLECTIONS IMPROVE
•Average Sales Price (ASP*) per test increased to US$618 from

US$613 in 2H 24 and US$519 in 2H 23 lifted by:

•Enhanced Patient Responsibility - patients with non-

contracted private insurance (i.e. non-Kaiser) pay a fixed

dollar amount “maximum out of pocket”

•Increased utilization of appropriate patient types from

Kaiser Permanente after EMR integration

•Medicare reimbursement of Triage since Jan 2023

•Improved medical necessity documentation to improve

billing and appeals processes for Medicare Advantage

•Improved cash collections are typically permanent

improvements that we expect to maintain as we scale

new arrangements following Novitas policy decision on the draft ‘Genetic testing

for oncology’ LCD (DL 39365)


COMMERCIAL PREPARATORY WORK

•Driving for coverage and reimbursement of Triage Plus

•Adding capabilities and capacity to PEDUSA laboratory

•Simplifying laboratory workflow for improved efficiency

•Optimizing sales team structure for expanded product adoption

•Preparing sales and marketing training materials

•Enhancing medical education with a speaker bureau, podium presentations, and

TRIAGE PLUS PRICING STANDS TO BOLSTER PACIFIC EDGE’S ECONOMICS
PRICING OF TRIAGE PLUS IS THE NEXT STEP IN THE COMMERCIALISATION PROGRAM

Dates future to this presentation are anticipated timeframes for Triage Plus pricing - dates may change

1

In November 2024 Pacific Edge changed the name of Detect

+

to Triage Plus.


We may continue to use the former name in certain formal documents as necessary, and will seek to

amend the descriptor for CPT Code 0420U CPT to Triage Plus through the quarterly administrative process with CMS

•Determining a CMS price for Triage Plus (0420U) is

the next step in establishing reimbursement

•Advisory Panel and CMS have recommended Gapfill

for Triage Plus

•Pacific Edge and C21 have provided counter-

arguments during public comment period

supporting a Crosswalk recommendation

•Gapfill is the more likely outcome, requires all MACs

to recommend a price and takes 12 months to

finalize

•Pacific Edge will seek a ‘provisional local price’ for

Triage Plus from Novitas during the Gapfill process

to ensure Gapfill imposes no delays on the

commercial launch of Triage Plus

Pacific Edge’s budget impact modelling shows Cxbladder offers better care, avoids unnecessary procedures and

improves workflow when used to intensify or de-intensify hematuria evaluation or in the surveillance for the recurrence

of bladder cancer. For healthcare payers Cxbladder offers substantial total cost savings per patient

patients without cancer and

requires only 22 cystoscopies to find

the five patients with cancer

•This results in savings of >US$500 per

patient presenting with hematuria

•Cxbladder Monitor alternated with

cystoscopy for surveillance of

bladder cancer after nine months of

treatment

•This results in 12.4% reduction in

cystoscopies over a five-year

STRENGTHENING OUR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
DRIVING ‘STICKINESS’ AND LONG-TERM MARKET SHARE

THE BEST AND MOST CUSTOMER-FRIENDLY TEST

•Give customers options to connect with Pacific Edge to fit

their needs with easy-to-use digital workflows

•Electronic Medical Record (EMR) integrations (Kaiser)

•Pacific Edge Customer Portal

•Pathology Lab LIS integrations (Lumea, Awanui)

•Improvement of end-to-end experience for patients and

providers

•Example of “one-to-many” integrations to clinics

KAISER EMR SUPPORTING ADOPTION

•EMR integration went live in Nov 2023 across Kaiser’s Southern California

Permanente Medical Group 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

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

Permanente, longer term we are targeting other regions

AUA HEMATURIA GUIDELINES – A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW
AN APPROACH THAT SUPPORTS OUR DRIVE FOR GUIDELINE INCLUSION

•The AUA has commenced a review of the microhematuria guideline and has asked for

professional comment on its initial draft; no timeframe provided

•The clinical utility of Cxbladder Triage demonstrated by the STRATA

1

study is expected

to be considered as part of the deliberations

•A positive AUA Journal of Urology editorial in July 2024 suggests favorable direction of

travel

•Clear/positive inclusion language would be used as the basis for a Medicare coverage

re -consideration request (in the event of a non-coverage determination)

“... these tests have the potential to improve the

management of our patients with suspected

[urothelial cancer] who would otherwise require an

invasive procedure for diagnosis.”

Real World Clinical Utility of a Urinary Biomarker (Cxbladder Triage) for Hematuria Referrals in an Integrated Managed Care Health System. Abstract accepted for presentation to

the Western Section of the American Urological Association annual conference.

KAISER PERMANENTE ABSTRACT SHOWS CLINICAL VALUE IN REAL WORLD SETTING

•Kaiser Permanente presented an abstract to the Western Section AUA conference

regarding their ongoing experience with Cxbladder Triage

•The abstract focuses on 1,563 low-risk patients in the Kaiser Southern California

health system with no history of gross hematuria or who refused cystoscopy

•1,200 patients avoided invasive cystoscopy, improving patient satisfaction,

urology access and lowering the overall cost of care

•A peer-reviewed publication is expected on the complete data set, targeting the

AUA conference in 2025

•Pacific Edge will use this future publication for a Medicare reconsideration request

(in the event of a non-coverage determination)

“Incorporating a highly reliable urine biomarker into clinical workflows for

hematuria reduced the burden of cystoscopy substantially, improving patient

satisfaction, urology access, and lowering overall cost of care,”

- Loo et al (2024)

SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
27

READY FOR ALL OUTCOMES
•We continue to manage our cash prudently while we seek to maintain reliable reimbursement for existing products and establish

reimbursement for future products

•We will continue to:

•Engage directly and through industry partners with CMS/Novitas to preserve reimbursement of our existing portfolio of tests

•Focus on the clinical development of Triage Plus and Monitor Plus for guidelines inclusion and increased coverage certainty

•Focus our commercial operations on profitable territories, non-Medicare revenue streams and cash collections

•Emphasize the clinical and economic value of Cxbladder in our sales messaging

HEADWINDS:

•Possible non-coverage determination from Novitas on a new proposed LCD after following appropriate ‘notice and comment’

procedure

•Possible negative physician or patient response to enhanced patient responsibility on commercial insurance

C ATA LYST S :

•Possible inclusion of Cxbladder Triage in AUA microhematuria guidelines amendment

•Possible retirement of Novitas LCD (DL39365)

•Possible re-coverage determination from Novitas on new proposed LCD after following appropriate procedure

•Crosswalk or ‘provisional pricing’ for Cxbladder Triage Plus at greater margin than the current generation of products

STRUCTURED CLINICAL EVIDENCE DEVELOPMENT

•Pacific Edge’s clinical study program is focused on developing clinical evidence for Cxbladder tests in a structured framework

•Analytical Validity (AV): Evidence that a test is repeatable in the lab for a given indication and population

•Clinical Validity (CV): Evidence a test works in the same way on an independent eligible population for a given indication

•Clinical Utility (CU): Evidence that a test changes clinical practice in the hands of a physician, typically in prospectively recruited RCTs

•Real World Evidence (RWE): CU verification of the real-world use of the test in clinical practice, usually through regular use of the test by physicians

•Clinical Utility evidence obtained through randomized control trials is required to change standard of care guidelines (in addition to AV and CV evidence)

Cxb Monitor performance characteristics on surveillance patients diagnosed with primary UC; Cxb Monitor had a Sn of 93% and NPV of 94% on patients with recurrent UC.

3

Using Kavalieris et al., (2017) data set, Lotan et al., (2017) compared relative performance of Cxb Monitor against NMP22 ELISA, NMP22 BladderChek and urine cytology.

4Patients included hematuria evaluation (n=436) or previously diagnosed UC (n=416) with both Cxbladder & urine cytology results.

5Cxbladder includes Cxbladder Triage & Cxbladder Monitor.

6

This included n=70 for patients with hematuria & n=83 for patients with previously diagnosed UC; test negative rate of 30.7%.

7

All patients were being evaluated for recurrence of UC (n=309 providing 443 samples).

8

Cxb Monitor identified all seven confirmed recurrence events idnetified on the first cystoscopy.

9

Patients returning negative Cxb Monitor results (n=235) had no pathology-confirmed recurrence at 1st cystoscopy

Employee Share Scheme

Employee Share Scheme Expenses are a non-cash expense. These relate to shares issued

to employees in lieu of cash bonuses.

Employee Share Options

Employee Share Options are a non-cash expense. Refer to Note 8 of the Annual Report for

details of the accounting policy for Employee Share Schemes.

Other Operating Expenses

The major categories of expenditure which make up operating expenses, but are not

disclosed separately above: Laboratory costs, Information Technology costs, Compliance

and Regulatory costs, Investor Relations costs.

6. 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; and

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 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 segments described above, for the six months ended

30 September 2024 is shown on the following page.

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. Total Laboratory Throughput includes commercial tests,

which are invoiced to customers, and research tests which are not considered to be

billable as these tests relate to user programs 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.

Details of all related party relationships have been disclosed in the annual report for the

13.PROPOSED LOCAL COVERAGE DETERMINATION (LCD) CHANGES -

POTENTIAL IMPACT ON REVENUE

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 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 Cxbladder testing revenue. Multiple companies that had

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

On 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 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 was expected to withdraw or finalize the LCD within 365 days from the original

publication date (27 July 2023*) and include a response to those comments. On 26 July

2024* Novitas confirmed it had been granted an extension to finalize or withdraw the

LCD. At the time of signing these interim financial statements, the Board does not have a

revised date that Novitas will finalize or withdraw the LCD.

If 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 six months ended 30 September 2024, and to the date of approval of these

consolidated interim financial statements.

In the six months to 30 September 2024, tests processed through our laboratory for

Medicare and Medicare Advantage patients represented approximately 54% of US

commercial test volumes and generated approximately NZ $6.5m, or 59% of Pacific Edge’s

total operating revenue.

During the six months to 30 September 2024, Pacific Edge continued to progress

initiatives that will assist in mitigating reimbursement risk, including the development

of further clinical evidence validating the performance of Cxbladder and providing the

catalyst for language supportive of Cxbladder in the American Urological Association

microhematuria guideline currently under review. In addition, the company has continued

to progress commercialization of Triage Plus which has demonstrated improved

performance characteristics and has the expectation of delivering an improved margin.

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 consolidated

interim 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 review report
To the shareholders of Pacific Edge Limited

Report on the consolidated interim financial statements

Our conclusion

We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial statements of Pacific Edge Limited (the

Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at

30 September 2024, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated

statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended

on that date, and notes, comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory

information .

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the

accompanying consolidated interim financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all

material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2024, and its financial

performance and cash flows for the six months then ended, in accordance with International

Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to

International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34).

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements

2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity

(NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for

the review of the consolidated interim financial statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in

New Zealand relating to the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other

ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements. In addition to our role as auditor,

our firm carries out other services for the Group including training workshop. The provision of this

other service has not impaired our independence.

Responsibilities of Directors for the consolidated interim financial statements

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

presentation of these consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 and

NZ IAS 34 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the

preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated interim financial statements that are free from

material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the consolidated interim financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated interim financial statements based on

our review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our

attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial statements, taken as a

whole, are not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34.

A review of consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a

limited assurance engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries,

primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other

review procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed

in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and International

Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that

we might identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these consolidated

interim financial statements.
