Decrease
The Group reported sales revenue from customers of $1,333,773 for the 6 month period compared to
$693,829 for the prior corresponding period, an improvement of 92%. Whilst revenue increased
significantly, net loss before tax improved only slightly to $1,793,429 for the period compared to a loss of
$1,802,255 in the prior corresponding period. The increase in revenue and gross margin was offset by
increases to financing costs of inventory, non-cash share allocation costs to staff, and stock adjustments.
The net cash outflow from operating activities was $1,520,360 down 22% from $1,942,997 in the prior
corresponding period. This improvement is attributed to continued focus on improvement of our capital-
light operating model, particularly outsourcing commercial manufacturing.
During the period the company raised further capital to fund the growth in sales. The company undertook a
pro-rata rights offer to all shareholders and a placement of new shares which raised $2,315,679. After
associated costs, the company received cash of $2,022,750 during the period.
MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT
PO Box 1387, Gisborne 4040, Aotearoa New Zealand | 0800 RUABIO | www.ruabio.com
Rua has made substantial progress in supplying product to the world’s largest medicinal cannabis markets.
Germany
Germany remains the world’s largest medical cannabis market, despite softening uptake in recent months as
the Government undertakes a regulatory review of medicinal cannabis regulations. Rua expects only minor
amendments to be confirmed over the coming months, which should provide greater certainty for market
participants. During the six months to December, Rua successfully launched New Zealand cultivated product
into the German market, however sales were reduced compared to the previous corresponding period as a
result of the regulatory review.
Australia
Australia is the world’s second largest medical cannabis market providing multiple opportunities for Rua with
new product formats and clinic partners. Rua has continued to build on strong clinic relationships and
deliver strong growth through established partnerships with significant growth over the previous
corresponding period.
New Zealand
Rua delivered continued domestic growth, supported by the introduction of new products during the period
and ongoing portfolio expansion. Adoption of medical cannabis in New Zealand appears to be steadily
increasing, underpinning the increase in demand for our products.
Czech Republic
Rua entered the Czech market with the launch of its first product in September 2025. While the market
remains relatively small and initial sales volumes are modest, the launch establishes an early foothold and
provides a platform for measured growth over time.

United Kingdom
The UK is an early-stage medical cannabis market that is showing significant growth. Rua has launched oil
products into the market through its distribution partner, Target Health, and continues to build awareness
and access through this channel. During the period, Rua has been reviewing its portfolio and distribution
pathways in the UK to ensure it is well positioned to capitalise on accelerating market demand.
Achieving revenue in five key markets in the period is a huge success for Rua and creates more robust and
resilient revenue.
Fostering Intergenerational Social Impact
Rua remains deeply committed to creating meaningful social impact that spans generations. A cornerstone
of our identity and strategic vision is our Impact Programme; encompassing our Compassionate Access
Programme and our Scholarship Programme.
Compassionate Access: Rua has continued to grow the Compassionate Access Programme from 30 patients
to 52 patients in Te Tairawhiti. This programme is focused on ensuring equitable access to medicines and
creating intergenerational wellbeing in our community.
Scholarships: Rua has continued to grow its scholarship programme since its inception in 2020, empowering
67 local rangatahi into further education totalling over $90,000 with the assistance of other local funding
agencies.
Outlook
As we move forward, Rua remains steadfast in the delivery our differentiated strategy. Our focus is on
delivering revenue growth across five markets and creating a differentiated offering to patients in each
country. We are optimistic about the opportunities ahead and are committed to delivering value to our
stakeholders, communities and patients worldwide.

Rua Bioscience Limited
Notes forming part of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2025
1. Reporting Entity
The condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the results of Rua Bioscience
Limited and its subsidiary (together, “the Group”).
Rua Bioscience Limited (“the Company”) is a company incorporated and domiciled in New
Zealand and registered under the Companies Act 1993. The address of the Company’s registered
office and principal place of business is 704 Te Araroa Road, RD 3, Ruatoria.
The Company is principally engaged in the business of research and development, and
pharmaceutical distribution and marketing.
2. Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared for the six
months ended 31 December 2025. These interim consolidated financial statements provide an
update on the interim performance of the Group and should be read in conjunction with the
full year consolidated financial statements presented for the year ended 30 June 2025 from
which the same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed.
The interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with:
• NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
• Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP).
• The accounting policies and methods of computation in the most recent annual financial
statements.
• The Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, and NZX equity listing rules.
The Group is a for-profit entity for the purposes of complying with NZ GAAP.
The consolidated interim financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars ($), which
is the company’s functional and also the Group’s presentational currency. All financial
information presented has been rounded to the nearest dollar, except where otherwise
indicated.
(b) Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies and computation methods used in the preparation of the consolidated
interim financial statements are consistent with those used as at 30 June 2025 and 31 December
2024.
(c) Basis of measurement
The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis,
except for the following items (refer to individual accounting policies for details):
- Borrowings (fair value disclosed) – note 4
- Financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost (fair value disclosed) – note 4
- Derivative liabilities subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss – note 4

Rua Bioscience Limited
Notes forming part of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2025
2. Basis of preparation (continued)
(d) New standards, interpretations and amendments effective or applied for the first time
The Group has not adopted any significant new standards, interpretations and amendments in
the interim period with a material impact on the financial statements.
(e) Accounting estimates and judgements made
Besides those listed below, there have been no material revisions to the nature and amount of
estimates of, and judgements in relation to, amounts reported in prior periods.
- Management and the Board have applied judgements in assessing for indicators of
impairment with respect to the Group’s goodwill. Refer to note 11.
- To determine the cash flows in applying the effective interest method to the Group’s
new borrowings (refer note 12), management judgement has been applied to determine
the most expected maturity event and corresponding total repayments made.
(f) Going concern
These condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December
2025 have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will
continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months
from the date of signing these condensed financial statements.
Given the Group’s net operating loss of $1,793,429 and net operating cash outflow of
$1,520,360 for the six months ended 31 December 2025 the Board and management have
prepared operating cash flow forecasts for the next 12 months. These indicated that the
Group will have sufficient cash to meet its minimum expenditure commitments and support
its current levels of activity as long as the growth targets within these operating cash flow
forecasts are met.
The Group’s liquid net assets position has been improved by the successful completion of a
pro-rata 1 for 3 renounceable rights offer, announced on 3 November 2025, and a placement
of shares as a result of oversubscription that was completed in December 2025. The rights
offer and oversubscription resulted in the Group receiving $2,022,750 after all costs of the
issue are taken into account. The Group remains committed to raising further equity to
meet the business requirements to reach profitability and become self-sustaining only if
the operating cash flow forecast growth is insufficient.

Rua Bioscience Limited
Notes forming part of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2025
2. Basis of preparation (continued)
(f) Going concern (continued)
Accordingly, the Directors are focussed on plans to increase the cash flow of the business and
have also evaluated the following factors in determining that the going concern assumption is
appropriate:
(i) Sales and operational improvements: The Group’s operational forecasts include
assumptions regarding a number of opportunities in key markets. As at the date of
signing these consolidated financial statements, the Group has achieved the
following:
- Further expanded the product portfolio into Germany, with the launch of New
Zealand cultivated products in August 2025 reinforcing the Group’s position in
Europe’s largest medicinal cannabis market;
- Introduced New Zealand grown genetics into key clinic chains and distributors
in Australia;
- Recently released additional products into the New Zealand market expanding
the portfolio to four products;
-
- Successfully launched dried flower products into Czechia in September 2025
(ii) Debt facility: Management and the Board were successful with the Group’s existing
shareholders and secured additional funding (debt) to meet operational cashflow
requirements. As at 31 December 2025, $1,060,000 had been provided to the group
under this debt facility. Of this amount $756,000 had been received during the six
months ended 31 December 2025, $304,000 had been received in the prior financial
year.
(iii) Facility sale: The Group is actively pursuing a buyer for its Gisborne facility which
includes the leasehold buildings held as available for sale in addition to manufacturing
and extraction equipment. The Group continues to expect the sale and settlement of
these assets and is actively engaged with a number of interested parties. Upon
settlement, the consideration will firstly be applied to the Group’s loan against the
building, inclusive of accrued contractual interest and additional $100,000 bullet
payment (refer to note 11), with the net proceeds amount then being available to the
Group.
The Group has also seen a significant increase in operating revenue in the six months ended 31
December 2025 giving further confidence in the Group’s operating model. The Group also
forecasts a number of significant operating milestones over the coming 12 months including:
- Continued expansion of product offerings in Australia, Germany, Czechia and New
Zealand; and
- Establishment of Rua genetics in several countries including:
o Canada under license with Apollo Green; and
o Trial crops in New Zealand and Australia.
These will further the Group’s plans to achieve a sustainable operating model in line with its
projections.
12
Rua Bioscience Limited
Notes forming part of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2025
2. Basis of preparation (continued)
(f) Going concern (continued)
The Directors believe that the Group will be successful in achieving the above, and on this
basis, are of the view that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern assumption
in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Should the Group be unsuccessful in achieving its revenue forecasts, or if actual revenue growth
is lower than projected, the proceeds from the sale of the facility are less than expected the
Group may be unable to manage its minimum cash expenditure requirements.
These events and conditions identified indicate that material uncertainties continue to exist
that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and,
therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal
course of business.
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
classification and recoverability of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification
of liabilities that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. Segment Reporting
The Group operates in one segment, its primary business being research and development and
the sale of pharmaceutical products in New Zealand, Europe and Australia.
The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO),
as they make all the key strategic resource allocation decisions related to the Group’s
segment.
The Group derives revenue from customers through the sale of goods in New Zealand, Europe,
and Australia. The Group’s revenues are analysed by geography on the basis of the
jurisdiction in which the goods are sold and have been disaggregated in this way in note 5.

Significant management judgement has been exercised to determine that future taxable profits
for the Group are beyond a reliable forecast horizon and that no net deferred tax asset should
be recognised.
An amount of deferred tax asset of $8,983,500 (30 June 2025: $8,604,612) has not been
recognised, comprising of: (i) A deferred tax asset arising from carried forward tax losses of
$8,983,500 (30 June 2025: $8,604,612); and (ii) other temporary differences of $nil (30 June
2025: $nil).

9. Inventory
Significant transactions during the six months to 31 December 2025
The Group has reported write-downs of inventory to net realisable value of $102,373 (2024:
$13,150) in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
10. Intangible assets and Goodwill
The Group tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment on an annual basis or where
there are specific indicators of impairment in the period.
In assessing for indicators of impairment, the Board has considered the following factors:
- The Group’s business performance in the period to date, and expected performance for
the remaining six months of the financial year;
- The Group’s progress to date with respect to its recent capital raise (refer to note 2(g));
- The likelihood that the Group will successfully sell its facility (refer to note 17); and
- The Group’s market capitalisation as at 31 December 2025.
The Board and Management believe these factors are substantially the same as at 30 June 2025
and are of the view that there were no indicators as at 31 December 2025 which would require
goodwill to be tested at that date. As such, there was no impairment recognised in respect of
the Group’s goodwill.

11. Borrowings
Borrowings drawn down in the six-month period ended 31 December 2025 include:
(i) Short-term lending - The Group also renegotiated its existing short-term lending which
was previously due to mature as at 30 June 2025 on 19 December 2025.
The renegotiations resulted in:
- A new maturity date of 30 June 2026;
- An option to convert the loan into a variable number of ordinary shares of the
company provided to the lender (‘conversion feature’), with the exercise price
based on the 20-day volume-weighted-average-price (‘VWAP’) prior to exercise.
The renegotiations were accounted for as a substantial modification requiring the
derecognition of the carrying value of the original loan, and recognition of the new
renegotiated loan at its fair value - resulting in a gain of $26,291, recognised within
Finance income (note 7) in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
The conversion feature of the new renegotiated loan represents an embedded
derivative at fair value through profit and loss. Management have determined that the
fair value of the conversion feature upon modification of the loan, and at reporting
date, was immaterial.
The embedded derivative will continue to be subsequently fair valued through until
exercise or expiry of the conversion feature, with any fair value gains or losses
recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
All other terms and conditions under the loan remains unchanged.
(ii) Inventory finance – During the period ended 31 December 2025, the Group entered
into a number of additional lending arrangements to assist in managing working capital
cash flows. The loans have a 12-month maturity and accrue interest on a monthly basis.
The loans are secured over the Group’s inventory holdings. An additional $756,000 was
drawn down in the period ended 31 December 2025.
Lenders were also issued additional warrants for no further consideration which give
the holders the right to purchase ordinary shares at a fixed price 12 months after the
loan draw down date. The warrants expire 3 years after they become exercisable.
The arrangements are accounted for as compound financial instruments with the
warrant component recognised directly in equity. The Group recognised an additional
$70,621 as warrant equity in the consolidated statement of financial position.

An impairment expense of $11,725 was recognised on right-of-use assets in the disposal group
held for sale as the carrying value of the asset exceeded its fair value less costs to sell after
the associated lease liability was remeasured (refer note 9).
Assets classified as held for sale during the period ended 31 December 2025 were measured at
the lower of their carrying value and fair value less costs to sell.
The fair value of the building and right-of-use asset associated with the lease of the land upon
which the building sits was derived using the sales comparison approach. The key input under
this approach was the recent observable selling prices for assets of similar nature, adjusted for
condition and location.
