CXBLADDER: ENABLING

BETTER CARE

Cxbladder is a world-leading molecular

diagnostic test for urothelial cancer.

1

It is

non-invasive and more accurate than other

tests, and provides a significant value

proposition for patients, physicians and

payees alike.

The suite of Cxbladder tests encompasses

many of the physician’s decision points

across the urothelial cancer pathway, from

investigation of haematuria (blood in the

urine and a key indicator of bladder cancer)

to detection and management of patients

for recurrence of the disease.

Our goal is to enable better patient care,

better clinical decision making and better

use of healthcare resources by providing

improved diagnosis and management of

bladder cancer.

The company is targeting large healthcare

organisations, particularly in the US

healthcare market which offers an estimated

annual market opportunity of US$1.2 billion

for Cxbladder.

In New Zealand, Cxbladder has already

achieved more than 60% market penetration

and is actively being used by the majority

of the large public healthcare providers,

replacing the gold standard, cystoscopy, in

some guidelines.

1

Urothelial cancer covers cancers of the urinary tract.

The majority are bladder cancer but also include

epithelial cancers of the upper tract.

YEAR TO DATE HIGHLIGHTS

• Continuing growth in product sales and adoption of Cxbladder by leading

healthcare organisations and urologists, in Pacific Edge’s targeted markets of

New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and the United States.

• Increased focus on institutional healthcare organisations in all markets is

providing commercial traction.

• High levels of commercial adoption of Cxbladder in Pacific Edge’s home market

of New Zealand. Total contract coverage of New Zealand’s population now

approximately 62%.

• Continuing commercial negotiations and start-up processes with targeted

institutional customers in the USA, including Kaiser Permanente.

• Completion of two of the three milestones required for US reimbursement, being

receipt of product codes and notification of a national price (US$760 per test).

• Progress continues to be made with the third of these cornerstones, which is to

have Cxbladder included in the Local Coverage Determination. This will allow for

reimbursement of tests used by patients covered by the CMS.

• Commencement of commercial evaluation with Johns Hopkins Medicine, a US$8

billion integrated global health enterprise and one of the leading health care

systems in the USA.

• User Programmes underway with five targeted hospitals in Singapore. Several are

nearing completion and the focus will shift to transitioning these to commercial

customers.

• Taken over the sales and distribution of Cxbladder in Australia, building on the

successful practices in the New Zealand market.

• Investment of $2.6m by US private investment fund, Manchester Management

Company, which specialises in biotech and life sciences investments.

• Completion of successful $7m placement, with a number of new local and

international institutional investors welcomed to the register.

• Announced $5m Share Purchase Plan at no greater than the placement price

($0.35 per share), which will close on 25 January 2019.

NUMBER OF TESTS

FINANCIAL REVIEW

We were pleased to report the continuing uplift in our financial performance, as we continue to

invest into the growth of our business and drive commercial sales. Financial highlights include

a 43% increase in revenue from test sales, a 15% decrease in operating cash outflow and a 13%

improvement in the bottom line result.

LABORATORY THROUGHPUT

Adoption of Cxbladder is growing and commercial sales are increasing. Laboratory throughput,

which includes commercial sales and tests from User Programmes, was 7,397 tests. A growing

percentage of these tests are billable, up to 82% from 76% in 1H18.

OPERATING REVENUE

Operating revenue

2

from test sales was up 43% to $2.0m, with total revenue for the period of

$2.6m. The company accounts for its US revenue on a cash basis, and therefore reported revenue

excludes tests sold in the USA for which cash payment has yet to be received, as well as tests

completed for patients covered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

3


The average payment received per test by Pacific Edge is dependent on the mix of payers and

insurance plans of each patient and can vary significantly from period to period.

INVESTMENT INTO GROWTH

While we are a young and fast growing medical technology company in the early stages of our

commercial journey, we have a prudent approach to our investment into growth. Pleasingly,

operating expenses for the half year were down 6% to $11.4m with revenue outgrowing expenses

by a net 13%. Operating expenses include research and development costs of $1.7m (a 23% year

on year decrease), with the remainder being direct operating costs.

NET OPERATING CASHFLOWS

Net operating cashflow improved to $(8.6)m for the period, a 15% improvement on the previous

first half year. Cash receipts from customers increased by 22% to $2.0m, with a large portion of the

cash received in 1H19 being for tests sold in prior years.

REDUCED NET LOSS

Overall, the Company reported a net loss of $(8.7)m for the half year, an improvement of 13% on

the prior first half year loss of $(10.0)m.

FUNDING AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Pacific Edge had $10.1m in cash, cash equivalents and short term deposits at 30 September 2018

which includes the investment of approximately $2.6m by US private investment fund, Manchester

Management Company, which specialises in biotech and life sciences investments. We are

undertaking a $12m capital raise, by way of a private placement and share purchase plan, to assist

in progressing our commercial objectives and becoming cash flow positive as soon as possible. A

number of new and local institutional investors joined the register through the placement and the

Pacific Edge’s bankers receipted their fees in equity.

2

Pacific Edge adopted NZ IFRS 15 in FY18. This means revenue for US based customers is now only recognised when the cash is received.

Under the previous accounting standard, which took into account all tests sold but which may not have yet been paid for, operating revenue

would have been $5.6m in 1H19, compared to $4.2m in 1H18 (an increase of 33%).

3

CMS tests account for approximately 47% of annual US laboratory throughput and cumulatively totalled in excess of 14,000 tests as at

30 September 2018. Pacific Edge will seek reimbursement for these when it is included in the CMS’s Local Coverage Determination (LCD).

Until then, these tests remain in the billing and reimbursement process and revenue will be accounted for when the cash is received.

CHAIR AND CEO REVIEW

The Board and management of Pacific Edge continue to work hard to progress our

commercial journey in the USA. While this is taking longer than initially anticipated,

progress has been made in the 2019 financial year to date with several notable

highlights.

The first was the adoption of Cxbladder into the clinical guidelines for several of the

public healthcare providers in New Zealand, and the consequential replacement of the

gold standard, cystoscopy.

The second was the notification of the national test price for the Centers for Medicare

and Medicaid (CMS) of US$760 per test, completing two of the three reimbursement

milestones in the US. The combination of both the national price and the product

specific code will enable the start of negotiations with private payers (insurance

companies).

The third has been the engagement with a number of large healthcare organisations in

the US, which led to the commencement of a commercial evaluation with Johns Hopkins

Medicine. This is an $8 billion integrated global health enterprise and one of the leading

healthcare systems in the United States.

THE US MARKET REMAINS OUR PRIORITY

The USA market has an identified US$1.2 billion addressable annual market for

our Cxbladder bladder cancer diagnostic test

4

. We remain focused on completing

agreements and building sales from the large institutional accounts and payers we are

targeting, including Johns Hopkins Medicine (recently announced), Kaiser Permanente,

the Veterans Administration and Tricare, the CMS and other blue chip institutions.

We have now completed two of the three cornerstones of the USA national

reimbursement process, and progress continues to be made with the third of these

cornerstones, which is to have Cxbladder included in the Local Coverage Determination.

This will allow for reimbursement of tests used by patients covered by the CMS.

The process is largely driven by peer-reviewed, published clinical and utility evidence for

the Cxbladder products, with a general ‘rule of thumb’ being that it takes around five

years to generate the specific evidence and gain inclusion into the LCD. We commenced

the LCD process in 2014 and continue to make good progress.

VALIDATION FROM NZ PUBLIC HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AT VERY HIGH LEVELS

New Zealand’s public healthcare providers continue to lead the way with some significant

global firsts. The majority of New Zealand’s public healthcare providers have now adopted

Cxbladder into their standard of care and, in some cases, their clinical guidelines,

replacing the gold standard, cystoscopy.

essential part of the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) evaluation process that we have underway
in the USA, for CMS patients.

OUTLOOK

Successful commercialistation of medical devices is a long process involving significant resources of

time and investment into the development of the clinical evidence to support the reimbursement.

Many of the foundations for commercial success have now been completed. There is no longer

any question of Cxbladder’s clinical performance and the real difference it is making for physicians,

patients and payees alike. We are seeing growing adoption of Cxbladder in all markets and the

progressive translation into sales growth.

In line with annual trends, we are expecting a stronger second half year as Americans with private

healthcare insurance reach their annual fixed deductible level (the amount a patient must pay

before their insurance cover commences) and they start to undertake the medically recommended

actions and treatments for which they will be reimbursed by their insurance company.

We also expect to see demand from public healthcare providers in New Zealand positively impact

commercial test throughput volumes in the second half of FY19.

Laboratory throughput is expected to increase by approximately 20% in the second half of FY19,

taking laboratory throughput for the full year to approximately 16,000 to 17,000 tests (FY18: 14,448

tests). Approximately 82% of these tests are expected to be billable, equating to a 14% year-on-

year increase in commercial test volumes.

The expected laboratory throughput in FY19 excludes test volumes from any new commercial

agreements which have yet to be signed. The New Zealand market is expected to make a growing

contribution to total laboratory throughput in FY19.

We remain focused on completing the national US reimbursement process for CMS patients,

with the final step being inclusion in the Local Coverage Determination, which will allow us to be

reimbursed for tests used by patients covered by the CMS.

Forward growth in commercial tests in the US will benefit from having national product specific

codes for Cxbladder and a national CMS reimbursement price. These milestones enable us to move

into the process of negotiating contract terms with private payers, which will enable a shortening of

the overall commercial transaction time and a positive reduction in the time to receipt of cash.

We now have a proven business model, as can be seen in the uptake of Cxbladder in New Zealand,

and we will use learnings from this to replicate our success in other international markets. We

are prudently managing our costs and capital expenditure and are focused on gaining adoption

from the large healthcare organisations which will be drivers of success in our business. While our

original growth expectations have been impacted by the longer than expected time to conclude

commercial arrangements with two large US customers, we are making good progress with other

key milestone achievements.

We remain committed to the company’s strategy. Hard won experience tells us that everything in

the USA market takes longer than we planned, however good progress has been made in the half

year, and we remain focused on achieving our key milestone of cashflow breakeven as we take

Cxbladder to the world.

Chris Gallaher David Darling

Chairman Chief Executive Officer

Timely, accurate diagnosis, ease of use and rapid turnaround are important considerations in urologic

health and are the hallmarks of Cxbladder.

By including Cxbladder within the urology workup in regional settings such as New Zealand’s East

Coast, many patients can get the peace of mind that they don’t have bladder cancer from our easy-

to-use urine test, thereby avoiding a cystoscopy and the need to travel long distances to the hospital.

The commercial use of Cxbladder by New Zealand public healthcare providers has been shown

to reduce the number of unnecessary invasive tests and reduce lengthy waiting times for patients

referred for investigation of haematuria and can have a significant impact on the timeliness and

quality of care for urology patients.

Cxbladder’s total contract coverage of New Zealand’s population is now approximately 62%

and the remaining public healthcare providers are expected to follow suit. We expect to see the

contribution from New Zealand’s public healthcare providers continue to contribute to commercial

test throughput growth in the second half of FY19.

OTHER MARKETS

We are also making good progress in Singapore, which provides us with a stepping stone into South

East Asia with an estimated 1.8 million Cxbladder test opportunities per year in the region. User

Programmes are now underway in five hospitals we have targeted. Several are nearing completion

and we are focused on transitioning these to commercial customers as quickly as possible.

In Australia, we have recently taken over the sales and distribution of Cxbladder, building on the

sales and marketing practices we have successfully utilised in the New Zealand market.

INCREASED FOCUS ON LARGE HEALTHCARE ORGANISATIONS

Following the success in New Zealand with the increased uptake by the national public healthcare

providers, we have increased our focus on large institutional healthcare organisations in our USA,

South East Asia and Australasian markets. The impact Cxbladder makes for the large healthcare

providers who have burgeoning patient needs, few resources and need to show value changes for

their clinical services, is very clear.

While these customers can take longer to bring to completion, once commercial agreement is

reached, they can provide significant volume, require lower sales maintenance and deliver more

sustainable, longer term growth opportunities.

The recently announced commercial evaluation by Johns Hopkins Medicine is an example of this

in action. An initial group of urologists are using Cxbladder for patients requiring investigation of

haematuria (blood in the urine) for the presence of bladder cancer. Payment will be received by

Pacific Edge for these tests.

This commercial evaluation will allow Johns Hopkins’ urologists to evaluate and determine the best

fit for Cxbladder within their clinical practice and provide data specific to their organisation and

patients. It is a significant achievement for a small company like Pacific Edge to gain access to world

leading organisations such as this.

GROWING CLINICAL VALIDATION

We have a growing library of clinical studies and papers which builds the clinical evidence and

demonstrates the outperformance of our product compared to other commonly used tests and

procedures in use today. These are important for our discussions with healthcare organisations

and reimbursement entities seeking validation of the clinical utility of our product, and are also an

NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN THE CHANGING

HEALTHCARE MARKET

We are constantly monitoring trends in healthcare and the

opportunities these offer for our company. New legislation in the USA

is coming to bear this year with the implementation of the Medicare

Access and CHIP Reauthorization (MACRA) Act of 2015. This new

legislation will see physicians move from a fee-for-service model to

a value based healthcare offering. The Act requires physicians to

outline value-based solutions to be implemented in their business. For

urologists, one of the very few value-based solutions available to them

would be Cxbladder.

Technology is changing ‘how and where’ healthcare is delivered and

some of the big trends are ‘virtual medical care’ and ‘Doctor to your

house in an hour’.

In the future, many doctor-patient contacts will be online and

healthcare will be delivered to the patient in their home. This will

help to reduce costs and will free up limited resources for specialist,

trauma and emergency situations. Cxbladder is ideally suited to this

environment due to its multiple integrated products, ease of use,

ability to transport across international borders and a fast laboratory

turn-around time.

We also expect to see more large corporates follow in the footsteps

of Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase, as well as

ComCast, which are developing their own solutions for employee

healthcare, whether this be forming their own healthcare companies

and employee plans, using technology and apps to access healthcare

services or co-operating more closely with existing insurers to get the

best provision for their employees.

These new channels are disrupting the more traditional sales model in

the USA. We are watching closely and have the ability to quickly adapt

our sales strategy and redirect our specialised sales force, as and when

required.

(a) Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 September 2018 have been

prepared in accordance with the requirements of the NZX Main Board Listing Rules.

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ IAS 34 - Interim

Financial Reporting. In complying with NZ IAS 34, these consolidated Interim Financial

Statements also comply with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in

conjunction with the Company’s 2018 Annual Report.

audited financial statements of Pacific Edge Limited for the year ended 31 March 2018.

(c) Restatement of Comparatives

The Group made the decision to adopt NZ IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers)

at the end of the 2018 financial year. This has impacted previously reported revenue and

receivables balances and resulted in a restatement of comparatives in these interim financial

statements. Please refer to note 4 for further details or note 2 in the 2018 Annual Financial

Statements.

4. RESTATEMENT
NZ IFRS 15: Revenue from contracts with customers (NZ IFRS 15)

The Group previously reported in the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March

2018 it had early adopted NZ IFRS 15 from 1 April 2017 which resulted in changes in

accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

In accordance with the transition provisions in NZ IFRS 15, the Group adopted the new

rules retrospectively and has restated comparatives for the 2017 financial year. None of the

available practical expedients have been applied.

Following its initial assessment of NZ IFRS 15 in 2017, the Group previously indicated that

there would not be a significant impact on the financial statements from the adoption of

this standard. This assessment was based on the expected completion of large customer

agreements during FY18, in particular inclusion in the Local Coverage Determination (LCD)

with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) and signing a commercial contract with

Kaiser Permanente. As these agreements were not concluded during FY18, the Group

reassessed the impact of NZ IFRS 15 and decided that the adoption of this standard

would have a significant impact on the recognition of revenue relating to Cxbladder tests

undertaken for US customers. There is no material impact for contracts with customers not

based in the US.

The Group presented the FY18 Interim Financial Statements on the basis it was not intending

to adopt NZ IFRS 15 from 1 April 2017. Due to this significant impact on the Group’s reported

financial results, the Group subsequently decided it was appropriate to early adopt NZ IFRS

15. An explanation of the change in revenue recognition can be found in Note 2 of the

2018 Annual Financial Statements. The tables below outline the changes required to the

previously reported comparative Interim Financial Statements from 30 September 2017.

Impact of NZ IFRS 15 on Previously Reported Financial Results

The specific financial statement line items affected by the change to the accounting policy

for revenue recognition are shown below. The 31 March 2017 balance sheet adjustments

were disclosed in the 31 March 2018 financial statements. These have been included again

here for transparency of movements.

Reclassification of Expenditure
Expenses within the Statement of Comprehensive Income have been reclassified from the

previously reported Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 September

2017. The expenses from the six months ended 30 September 2018 have been prepared on

this new basis. The expenses for the year ended 31 March 2018 are consistent with what

was previously reported in the 31 March 2018 financial statements. The reclassification has

been made to better represent the nature of the costs as the business evolves to allow for

improved comparability.

These reclassifications do not change the total expenses recognised for the six months

ended 30 September 2017. However, total expenses for the 2017 half year have changed

as a result of the implementation of NZ IFRS 15, which is further explained in Note 4 above.

The following reclassifications have been made for the six months ended 30 September 2017:

• Employee benefits, including salaries, wages, superannuation and health and disability

plans, previously included in other expenditure and totalling $3,262,000, have been re-

allocated to the functional areas as follows:

• Laboratory Operations: $700,000

• Sales and Marketing: $2,562,000

• Overhead expenditure, previously included in Other Expenses, totalling $2,195,000 has

been re-allocated to the functional areas as follows:

• Laboratory Operations: $971,000

• Research: $397,000

7. 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 detection 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 segment described above, for the period ended 30 September

2018, is shown below.

Six months to 30 September 2017 5,439 1,680 7,119

Laboratory Throughput is a key metric for the Group: Laboratory Throughput provides

evidence of the increasing usage of Cxbladder products globally and the rates of adoption

between different customer segments. Total laboratory throughput includes billable/

commercial tests, which are invoiced to customers (including CMS tests), and tests which

are not considered to be billable as these tests relate to user programs or other non-

chargeable activities.

Billable/commercial test numbers are also a key metric for the Group: the tests are those

for which the Company is actively seeking reimbursement and cash receipts. Given the

time lag in the US between processing a Cxbladder test and receiving the associated cash

receipts, reported revenue based on the application of our accounting policy and billable

tests do not correlate in the same time period with one another. Billable test numbers also

include tests for CMS patients, which are all invoiced to CMS but for which revenue is not

being recognised.

Note that the Commercial and Research split shown above is reflective of the Billable/

Non-Billable split of laboratory throughput. Therefore the total of the Commercial tests

equals the total of the billable tests and all Research tests shown above are non-billable.

Non-billable tests may however be commercial in nature (ie. will lead to a commercial

relationship).

The Company announced on the 29th of November 2018 that it is completing a private

placement to new and existing shareholders. This private placement is expected to result

in additional capital for the Company of up to $7m. The Company also announced on the

same day a Share Purchase Plan to raise up to $5m of capital from existing shareholders.

The Share Purchase Plan has not been underwritten and is expected to open in December

2018 and close in January 2019.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2018

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

National Pricing for CMS

On the 12th of October 2018, the Company announced that the preliminary national CMS

reimbursement rate of US$760 per Cxbladder test had been publicly notified. This pricing

was finalised during November 2018 and takes effect from 1 January 2019. Obtaining the

pricing is the second of three steps to enable the Company to be reimbursed by CMS for

Cxbladder tests performed for CMS patients. The third and final step is the inclusion of

Cxbladder in the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) which the Company continues to

work towards achieving.

13. GOING CONCERN

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which

assumes that the Company will have sufficient cash to pay its debts as they fall due for a

minimum of 12 months from the signing of the Interim Financial Statements.

As at 30 September 2018, the Company had $10.060m of cash and cash equivalents on

hand (2017: $3.997m) and net assets of $10.894m (2017: $5.221m). Cash receipts totalling

$2.939m were received in the six month period to 30 September 2018 (2017: $1.962m) along

with additional capital of $2.623m (2017: $94k). Net cash out flows from operating activities

for the six month period to 30 September 2018 were $8.612m (2017: $10.185m).

While the Company continues to incur operating losses, the Company remains solvent and

continues to pay its debts as they fall due. The Company continues to progress commercial

negotiations with targeted large scale health organisations in the USA and whilst these

negotiations are taking longer than expected to complete, the Company continues to

make good progress with these negotiations. The new contracts that will result from these

commercial negotiations will have a significant positive impact on the Company’s financial

position once they are concluded.

The Company has prepared cash flow forecasts which indicates that if these commercial

negotiations continue to be delayed, the Company may not have sufficient cash to meet its

minimum expenditure commitments and support its current levels of activity. The Company

may therefore need to raise additional funds to continue as a going concern.

To address the future additional funding requirements of the Company, the Directors have:

- Entered into discussions to secure additional equity funding from current or new

shareholders,

- Continued to monitor the Company’s ongoing working capital requirements and

minimum expenditure commitments, and

- Continued to focus on maintaining an appropriate level of expenditure in line with the

Company’s available cash resources.

The Directors are confident that they will be able to obtain additional equity funding to

enable the Company to meet its minimum expenditure requirements and support its planned

level of expenditure. However, in the event that the Company is not able to successfully

complete the fundraising, a material uncertainty may exist which may cast significant doubt

on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern with the current capital and cost

structures.
