Me Today Limited
Condensed Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2024
7
1. General information
Me Today Limited (‘the Company’) is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New
Zealand.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements presented are for Me Today Limited and its
subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’).
The Group:
produces, sells, and markets health and wellbeing products or acts as an agent on behalf of other
health and wellbeing suppliers; and
produces and distributes premium mānuka honey.
2. Basis of preparation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (‘NZ GAAP’), with New Zealand Equivalent to
International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (‘NZ IAS 34’), with International
Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (‘IAS 34’), and with the requirements on the NZX
Main Board Listing Rules.
Me Today Limited is a company registered under the Companies Act 1993 and an FMC reporting entity
under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is listed on the NZX Main Board.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the notes of the type
normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024 which have been
prepared in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘NZ
IFRS’) and International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars which is
the Company’s functional and presentation currency, rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.
Certain comparative information has been adjusted to be consistent with the presentation in the current
period.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The comparative information as
at 30 June 2024 is audited.
2.1. Basis of measurement
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
2.2. Going concern
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
assumes that the Group has the intention and ability to continue its operations for the foreseeable future.
The Group incurred an after-tax loss of $2.4 million in the 6 months to 31 December 2024 (6 months to
31 December 2023: $7.3 million loss). The Group’s net cash outflows from operating activities during the 6
months was $1.0 million (6 months to 31 December 2023: $1.9 million net cash outflow).
At the reporting date the Group had fully drawn down $2.6 million of its bank overdraft facility (30 June
2024: $2.5 million drawn down), had working capital of $5.2 million (30 June 2024: $16.0 million) and net
assets of $1.3 million (30 June 2024: $3.6 million). The Group had bank loans of $7.3 million (30 June
2024: $7.3 million) and a subordinated note payable of $5.7 million (30 June 2024: $5.6 million).
The Group continues to work closely with its bank, the Bank of New Zealand (‘BNZ’). The BNZ is
continuing to provide financial support to the business through term loan and overdraft facilities (refer
note 8). The Group is currently in discussions with the BNZ regarding new funding terms. While it is in this
period of negotiation the bank borrowings are repayable on demand and have been classified as current

liabilities. Once the negotiations are concluded the Group expects to reclassify the relevant portion of bank
borrowings back to non-current liabilities.
As disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report, during the 2024 financial year the Group agreed new borrowing
arrangements with the BNZ which ring fenced the Me Today business from the King Honey business while
the Group seeks to sell the King Honey business. To this end, the BNZ has agreed that Me Today Limited
is removed from the previous debt security group security arrangements noted below, except for an
amount of $2.25 million. The Board have assessed the ability of both the Me Today business and the King
Honey business to continue as a going concern.
The Board is considering a capital raise. The terms of the capital raise are still to be confirmed. Several
parties have expressed an interest in investment in the Company and founding shareholders, Grant Baker
and Stephen Sinclair have indicated that they would support the new capital raise. The amount of the
support has not been indicated at this stage and it would be agreed once the details of the raise were
confirmed. The Board intends to use any funds raised to support the Me Today business. The Board are
confident that sufficient funding would be received from a capital raise to meet a potential forecast shortfall
in the Me Today business’s cashflows.
The Group has previously advised shareholders that it intends to sell the King Honey business.
Discussions have continued with an interested party however no formal offer has been received for the
business.
Trading for the King Honey business continues to remain challenging. The company continues to have a
good dialogue with its major customer in China however demand for mānuka honey for their brand
remains low. The customer has invested further in the brand and is expanding the product range.
However, they remain cautious in respect to their levels of mānuka honey inventory.
The Group continues to reduce costs in response to the challenging market conditions. The Group are in
ongoing discussions with the lenders to the King Honey business in respect to the challenging trading
conditions and King Honey will continue to review its overall cost structure.
Notwithstanding the ongoing performance of the business, the Directors are satisfied that based on their
review of the Group’s current financial forecasts for both the Me Today and the King Honey businesses,
the continued support of the BNZ and the opportunity for a further capital raise, that, during the 12 months
after the date of signing these consolidated financial statements, there will be adequate cash flows
available to meet the financial obligations of the Group as they arise. The Directors acknowledge that
whilst the Group continues to build commercial relationships with new and existing customers future
looking forecasts are inherently uncertain. The Directors consider the Group’s current cash balances and
the indicated support for a capital raise, provide it with sufficient headroom should it be required if sales or
cash forecasts are not achieved.
The considered view of the Board is that, after making due enquiries and considering relevant factors,
there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will have access to adequate resources and
commitments from its borrowers and shareholders, that will enable it to meet its financial obligations for
the foreseeable future.
For this reason, the Board considers the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated
financial statements for the 6 months ended 31 December 2024 to be appropriate. The Board has reached
this conclusion having regard to circumstances which it considers likely to affect the Group during the
period of at least one year from the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, and to
circumstances which it considers will occur after that date which will affect the validity of the going concern
basis.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of its subsidiary King Honey as
a going concern. Should the Group not be able to sell the King Honey business and King Honey not
generate adequate cashflows, the Board may decide to fully wind down the King Honey operations. If this
were to occur adjustments may have to be made to the financial statements of King Honey to reflect the
situation that assets may need to be realised other than in the amounts at which they are currently
recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. In addition, the Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position may have to provide for further liabilities that might arise on the wind up of King Honey.

2.3. Discontinued activities
As noted in 2.2 above, the Group has previously announced that it was working to sell the King Honey
Limited ('King Honey') subsidiary. NZ IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Activities
requires the sale of a disposal group, such as King Honey, to be highly probable in order to be classified
as held for sale. The Board have assessed the guidance of highly probable in NZ IFRS 5 and continue to
consider that, in their judgment, currently the potential sale of King Honey does not meet the criteria to be
classified as held for sale.
The classification of whether King Honey should be held for sale fundamentally alters the disclosure of the
operations of the King Honey subsidiary in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Performance,
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
3. Changes in Accounting Policies
There have been no changes in the material accounting policies and methods of computation used in
preparing the condensed interim consolidated financial statements compared to those used in preparing
the audited consolidated financial statements for the 12 months ended 30 June 2024. For details of the
accounting policies for the 12 months ended 30 June 2024 please refer to the 2024 Annual Report.
4. Revenue
The details above disaggregate the Group's revenue from contracts with customers into primary markets,
and major product and service lines.
Revenue was generated from the following geographical regions.
Revenue is allocated geographically based upon the jurisdiction in which the revenue is recognised for
taxation purposes.

‘Operating EBITDA’ is used by the Board to measure the underlying performance of segments before
interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, fair value adjustments, restructuring and impairment costs. The
‘Operating EBITDA’ measure is stated after depreciation and amortisation capitalised to biological WIP.
The ‘Me Today brand’ segment was previously named ‘Sale of goods’ and the “King Honey’ segment was
previously named ‘Honey’. These segments were renamed to better describe the nature of their
operations. There has been no change to the operations that are included in these segments.
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports reviewed and used by the
Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM’), being the Board of Directors, in assessing the Group’s
performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

Me Today Brand performance and China Licensing update
Me Today China brand Licensing Agreement
As advised previously Me Today signed a full suite of commercials agreements with a large Chinese
Sports Nutrition Company. The licence agreements provide for payment of a licencing fee over a
period of 10 years to Me Today based on revenue earned in Greater China by the licensor. The
2
agreements also allow for the licensor to progressively acquire up to 50% of the greater China
trademark should they achieve certain revenue targets.
We are excited to announce that we have received a notice from our licence partner advising they
have achieved sufficient revenue to enable them to take ownership of 20% of the Me Today brand in
China. Once Me Today has completed verification of the notice it will transfer 20% of the ownership
of the Greater China Trademark to the Chinese partner.
The partner has been very active in promoting Me Today across the Chinese TikTok platform Douyin.
During the past six months Me Today has taken part in a number of Live Streaming events in
partnership with famous influencers such as Liu Yuan Yuan, Momo and Li Xiao Meng. The activations
have been very successful for the brand in China by creating large sales and a significant increase in
brand profile. The profile spreading into other international markets as well as influencing sales
activity in New Zealand.
The licence fee payable to Me Today was set as a fixed fee in year one and in year two onwards it is
payable as a percentage of revenue. The first-year finishes on 31 March 2025, so the positive impact
of revenue-based licence fee will flow into the 2026 financial year.
Me Today is working closely with the Chinese partner in setting plans for 2025 and beyond. Given
the impressive start to the partnership, we expect the brand to continue to grow in the Chinese
market.
The arrangement is an exciting partnership for the Me Today brand which, as well as creating new
revenue and increasing global brand visibility it is also helping to access new product development
concepts. The supply chain capability of our partner is significant, and we are leveraging
manufacturing benefits from economies of scale, including more competitive pricing on bulk raw
materials.

customers in this half are down on the spend in the last half of $0.61m. The operating EBITDA loss

USA
The USA market continues to grow with a focus on both offline and online channels. A new online
partner has been appointed with additional growth in sales being achieved post the appointment.
Focus remains on growing revenue in the USA online business. We expect sales to exceed $500k in
the 2025 calendar year which will provide a platform for further growth in 2026. The online business
is complimented by offline sales where we target opportunities for sales of manuka honey through
the grocery channels that we have previously established. These channels have become more price
sensitive and selective given the surplus of manuka honey still available from New Zealand suppliers.
Japan
We have an established partner in the Me Today brand across manuka honey, Skincare and
Supplements. We have been building the sales channel with our Japanese partner and trialing new
format opportunities. Our partner has secured an opportunity to list Me Today in a large retail chain
in Japan. The focus is mainly through our new SuperHoney offering of multi floral manuka infused
with specific ingredients. We have secured sales orders for NZ$500k which are currently in
production and will ship during March 2025.
Other Markets
We continue to pursue opportunities and build on existing sales channels in Ireland, South East Asia
and the UAE. We will continue to work with our partners in those markets to grow the Me Today
brand.

delivered orders of NZ$1m into its Chinese partner. Half the order was shipped in the December half
year with the balance of the order being shipped in early March. Further discussions are underway in
China in respect to the forecast purchase plan for the coming 12 months. Discussions are also
underway with partners in Europe and the Company expects continued and increased sales from the
European market.
Sales through the Me Today brand also continue to grow with King Honey supplying manuka honey
to Me Today for sale through its network. These sales by Me Today assist King Honey to help reduce
its large holding of manuka honey inventory.
