Me Today Limited
Condensed Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended 31 December 2024

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

8

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.

6.1. Seasonal and cyclical influences

There are no seasonal or cyclical influences on operations.

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

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.

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.

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.
