SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

On 19 December 2019 the Company advised shareholders that it intended to cease its activities in the

natural health sector and enter the aged care sector. The Company has entered into a conditional

agreement to purchase three aged care facilities owned by its major shareholder, Brankin Family

Trust, and a lease on a currently vacant building in Aldwins Road Christchurch that will be operated

as an aged care facility.

The agreement is conditional upon shareholder approval and the completion of the necessary

regulatory requirements prior to all details of the transaction being sent to shareholders.

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN


On behalf of your directors I present the Annual Report of the directors for Promisia Integrative

Limited and its subsidiaries (“the group”) for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Group Results

The loss for the year of $2,391,000 was similar to the loss of $2,407,000 in the previous year. Two

major factors in the loss were:

• An impairment of $1,107,000 against all inventory,

• Legal and other fees of $294,000 associated with the proposed entry into the aged care

business.

Total sales for the year were $190,000 compared with $727,000 in the previous year. This was a

reduction of 74%.

Shareholders were advised earlier in the year that the company would not be expending any funds on

advertising due to the uncertainties around the Ministry of Health prosecution. An inevitable

outcome was that sales would suffer.

Medsafe Prosecution

In late January 2019 Medsafe commenced a prosecution of the company in the District Court alleging

9 breaches of the Medicines Act 1981.

Two of the charges relate to the alleged sale of an unlicensed medicine, being Arthrem. The company

has always maintained that Arthrem is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. The remaining charges

relate to the promotion of Arthrem on the company’s websites and are based on the assumption that

Arthrem is an unlicensed medicine. The company notes that all its marketing and advertising

material was submitted for review to the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Pre-Vetting Service (TAPS)

before being published and it received a TAPS Approval Number that is displayed on every item.

There have been three brief appearances in the District Court but little or no progress other than

additional disclosure by the Ministry. The delays in getting this matter into Court are of considerable

concern. The company has operated in an environment of uncertainty and it is the view of the Board

that this matter is rapidly becoming a case where ‘justice delayed is justice denied’.

New Zealand

Sales of Arthrem in New Zealand have been limited as the number of pharmacies selling the product

reduced following the second Medsafe Alert in late 2018. Medsafe made a recommendation to the

Medicines Classification Committee that Artemisia annua be classified as a prescription medicine.

The Committee has accepted this recommendation and it was likely that all sales of Arthrem in New

Zealand would cease in early March 2020. This decision has been subject to an unsuccessful judicial

review but that review decision is being appealed. If all appeals fail then a notice will be published in

the New Zealand Gazette and the company will cease to sell Arthrem.

Australia

Sales in Australia were very disappointing following the first Medsafe Alert in 2018. Distribution costs

in Australia were high and could not be justified. In August 2019 the company advised shareholders

that distribution arrangements in Australia had been terminated and Arthrem was no longer available

at the retail level. On withdrawal from the Australian market the company requested cessation of the

registration of Arthrem as a complementary medicine in Australia. The company worked with the

Therapeutic Goods Administration in Australia and agreed to a voluntary retail recall of Arthrem from

the few pharmacies holding stock.

The company notes that no adverse reactions to Arthrem have been reported in Australia.



6

Artevite

The stock of Artevite had a limited shelf life which expired in August 2019 and in mid-2019 was

donated for use in promotional packages for pet shows. This action disposed of the product at very

limited cost to the company.

Funding

All operating costs have been reduced as far as possible during the year. Operational funding has been

provided by director Tom Brankin and his interests and, on behalf of the shareholders, the Directors

express their thanks to Mr Brankin for his support of the company.

During the year Brankin interests exercised an option to subscribe for an additional 250,000,000

shares at $0.001 per share. These shares were paid up progressively and issued as fully paid shares in

November 2019.

Entry into the Aged Care Business

In light of the action by Medsafe and the Ministry of Health, the Directors were of the view that there

was little, if any, future in the natural health products business. The directors considered a number of

options for the company but settled on the aged care business. On 19 December 2019 the company

announced that it had entered into a conditional agreement with Tom Brankin and his interests to

acquire their aged care assets for a mixture of cash and equity.

These assets are profitable and provide the basis for the company to expand in the aged care sector.

There is considerable demand for new and large facilities as a result of demographic pressure from

New Zealand’s ageing population.

This acquisition is effectively a backdoor NZX listing of the Brankin aged care assets and there is

considerable regulatory compliance required to give effect to such a transaction. The company is

preparing the documentation required by the Takeovers Panel, the Financial Markets Authority and

NZX. It is a time consuming and expensive undertaking but good progress is being made.

It is expected that documents will be sent to shareholders in April for consideration and that a

meeting of shareholders will be held in late April to vote on the proposed change of business and the

Brankin transaction.

Share Suspension

On 19 December 2019 when the company announced a proposed change of business and conditional

purchase of aged care assets, it also requested suspension of trading in the company’s shares on the

NZX. The reason for the suspension is to allow time for the necessary documentation to undertake

the review and approval processes by the various regulatory authorities prior to being sent to

shareholders. It is intended that the trading suspension will be lifted when all documents have been

sent to shareholders.

Summary

2019 was a very difficult but busy year for the company. Your directors consider that the proposed

change of business is in the interests of all shareholders and provides considerable growth

opportunities, particularly by way of acquisition.

The directors thank shareholders for their support during the year.

The Chairman is selected by the Board from the non-executive directors. The Chairman’s role is to

BOARD COMMITTEES

Presently the Board operates only one committee, being the Audit Committee. Matters concerning

with the size of the Company.

Audit Committee

The role of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities under the

Companies Act 1993 as it concerns accounting practices, policies and controls relative to the

Company’s financial position and to make appropriate enquiry into any audit of the Company’s

financial statements. This responsibility includes providing the Board with additional assurance about

the quality and reliability of any financial information issued publicly by the Company from time to

time. Ultimately the Board as a whole is responsible for the accuracy and relevance of the Company’s

financial statements. The Audit Committee provides additional and more specialised oversight. The

Audit Committee also reviews the operation of internal controls together with the quality and cost of

the external audit undertaken by the Company’s auditors.

The Audit Committee comprises two non-executive directors one whom which has special expertise in

financial matters. The Audit Committee members are Stephen Underwood (Chair) and Duncan Priest.

Committee. Matters considered related to the remuneration, benefits and terms of employment of

senior executives of the Company, including the staff unpaid share scheme.

Nominations Committee

taking into account the skills, experience and qualifications necessary to ensure that the Board works

as an effective unit.


REMUNERATION

Remuneration of both directors and Company executives is a responsibility of the Remuneration

Committee, being the full board. Details of director and executive remuneration, including

entitlements, are set out on page 36.

Remuneration of Directors

The amount payable currently to all non-executive directors is $17,000 per annum (other than the

Chairman). The Chairman is paid $49,000 per annum. Under NZX Listing Rule 2.11.4, the Board may

only make a payment to a director upon cessation or retirement from office with shareholder

approval. The Company’s policy is in line with best practice guidelines from the New Zealand Institute

of Directors and no directors are entitled to retirement payments.

Remuneration of Executives and Employees

Executive remuneration consists of a salary with the ability to participate in share options being

granted from time to time as an additional incentive.

Market Disclosure

The Board is committed to the promotion of investor confidence by ensuring that trading of its shares

takes place in an efficient, competitive and informed market.

The Company has in place procedures designed to ensure compliance with the NZX Listing Rules so

that:

• All investors have equal and timely access to material information concerning the Company,

including its financial situation, performance, ownership and governance.

• Company announcements are factual and presented in a clear and balanced form.

Accountability for compliance with disclosure obligations is with the Chairman and the Chief

Executive Officer. Significant market announcements, including the preliminary announcement of the

half year and full year results, the accounts for those periods and any advice of a change in earnings

forecast are approved by the Board.

Promisia Integrative Limited

Independent auditor’s report to the Shareholders

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial

Statements

Disclaimer of Opinion


We were engaged to audit the consolidated financial statements of Promisia Integrative

Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of

financial position as at 31 December 2019, and the consolidated statement of

comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated

statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial

statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.


We do not express an opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements of

the Group. Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer

of Opinion section of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate

audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these consolidated financial

statements.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion


As disclosed in Note 2(b), the Group has incurred a Net Loss for the year of $2.4 million

and has negative working capital and equity and is subject to litigation. The Directors

consider that the proposed Acquisition of Aged Care facilities as disclosed in Note 28 is

virtually certain to proceed. This transaction will re-capitalise the Company, provide

significant tangible assets and is expected to result in the Group achieving positive

cashflows and profit from operations from the acquisition date.


The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and shareholder vote. If the proposed

transaction did not proceed the Group could not continue to operate without obtaining

additional funding.


We have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in respect of the

outcome of the regulatory approval and shareholder vote that would enable us to form an

opinion about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore determine

the appropriateness of the going concern assumption.


Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor’s

Report Thereon


The directors are responsible for the Annual Report. Our opinion on the consolidated

financial statements does not cover the other information included in the Annual Report

and we do not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion on the other

information.


In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is

to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is

materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge

obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work

we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other

information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.


12

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements


The directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation of consolidated financial

statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International

Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to

enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement,

whether due to fraud or error.


In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s

ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using

the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease

operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements


Our responsibility is to conduct an audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with

International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and to issue an auditor’s report. However, because of

the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section of our report, we were not able to obtain

sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these consolidated financial

statements.


We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) Code

of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board,

and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.


Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, Promisia Integrative

Limited or any of its subsidiaries.


The engagement director on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Darren Wright.


Restriction on Distribution and Use


This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken

so that we might state to the Company’s shareholders those matters which we are required to state to them

in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or

assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s shareholders, as a body, for

our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2019

1. General Information

The financial statements presented are those of Promisia Integrative Limited (the company) and its

subsidiaries (the group). The Group’s principal activities were focused on developing and marketing

unique therapeutic natural products with proven safety and efficacy based on robust scientific

research.

The company is registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a Financial Markets Conduct

reporting entity in terms of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The group is profit-oriented.

Promisia Integrative Limited is a company domiciled and incorporated in New Zealand. The

registered office of the company is Level 5, 22 Panama Street, Wellington.

2. Statement of Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting

practice in New Zealand, which is the New Zealand equivalent to International Financial Reporting

Standards (NZIFRS). They also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars which is the group’s functional and

presentation currency and rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless stated otherwise.

(b) Going concern

The Promisia Group has generated sales of $190,000 (2018: $727,000) and net losses of $2,400,000

(2018: $2,407,000) during the year ended 31 December 2019. At year end the consolidated

statement of financial position records a position of negative working capital and negative equity.

It is the continuing opinion of the board of directors that there are reasonable grounds to believe that

operational and financial plans in place are achievable and accordingly the group is able to continue as

a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due. Accordingly, use of the going concern

assumption remains appropriate in these circumstances.

In arriving at this position the directors have considered the following pertinent matters:

(i) The directors consider the proposed acquisition of the aged care facilities as disclosed in Note

28 is virtually certain to proceed. The transaction will recapitalise the Company, provide

significant tangible assets and is expected to result in the Group achieving positive cash flows

and profit from operations from acquisition date. If the proposed acquisition did not proceed

the Group could not continue to operate without obtaining additional funding.

3. (ii) considered the impact of the Ministry of Health prosecution – Refer Note 24.

(c) Significant accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with NZIFRS requires the use of certain

critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of

applying the Group’s accounting policies. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are

based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are

believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions

about the future. The resulting accounting estimates will by definition seldom equal related actual

results. The estimates and assumptions that have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the

carrying value of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:



18

Impairment of intangible assets

Intangible assets are amortised and are tested for impairment when events or changes in

circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable ( Refer Note 13).

Inventory

Inventory has been reviewed for obsolescence and all unsaleable inventories have been fully impaired

in accordance with the group’s inventory policy.

(d) Specific accounting policies

The following specific accounting policies which materially affect the measurement of profit and the

financial position have been applied.

(i) Basis of consolidation — purchase method

The consolidated financial statements include the company and its subsidiaries accounted for using the

purchase method. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

(ii) Statement of Cash flows

For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with

banks, and investments in money market instruments, net of bank overdrafts.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a GST inclusive basis, except for the GST

components of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(iii) Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised in the functional currency of the relevant

operating unit. At balance date, foreign monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the closing

rate, and exchange variations arising from these translations are recognised in the income statement.

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, whose functional currency is not the New Zealand

dollar, are translated at the closing rate. Revenue and expense items are translated at the spot rate at

the transaction date or a rate approximating that rate. Foreign currency exchange differences are

recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.

(iv) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

The statement of comprehensive income has been prepared exclusive of GST. All items in the

statement of financial position are stated net of GST with the exception of receivables and payables

which include GST invoiced. Operating cash flows are presented on a GST inclusive basis.

(v) Revenue recognition - performance obligations and timing

The majority of the group’s revenue is derived from selling goods with revenue recognised at a point in

time when control of the goods has transferred to the customer. This is generally when the goods are

delivered to the customer.

However, for export sales, control might also be transferred when delivered either to the port of

departure or port of arrival, depending on the specific terms of the contract with a customer. There is

limited judgement needed in identifying the point control passes: once physical delivery of the

products to the agreed location has occurred, the group no longer has physical possession, usually will

have a present right to payment (as a single payment on delivery) and retains none of the significant

risks and rewards of the goods in question.

Sales of goods are categorized as retail, on line and other sales.

(vi) Lease costs

Where the Group is the lessee, then operating leases or finance leases (“leases”) are recognised as

assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than a year including the right of renewals of

for future periods, unless the underlying asset is of low value.



19

The value of the asset leased is initially recorded as a right of use (‘ROU’) asset and is measured

at the initial present value of the total lease payments including initial direct costs and prepayments

made to lessor less any lease incentives received from the lessor, restoration, removal and

dismantling costs (“lease costs”). Recognition of a lease liability is measured and calculated using

the initial measurement of the present value of the total lease costs. The lease payments are discounted

using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

(vii) Taxation

The income tax expense charged to the statement of comprehensive income includes both the current

year’s provision and the income tax effect of (i) Taxable temporary differences, except those arising

from initial recognition of goodwill and other assets that are not depreciated; and (ii) Deductible

temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that they will be utilised. Temporary differences

arising from transactions, other than business combinations, affecting neither accounting profit nor

taxable profit are ignored.

Tax effect accounting is applied on a comprehensive basis to all temporary differences. A deferred tax

asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable there will be future taxable profit to utilise the

temporary differences.

(viii) Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Direct costs of issuing shares are shown as a deduction from

the proceeds of the issue. Where share options issued have expired then share capital includes an

adjustment for the expired share option cost as transferred from the option reserve.

(ix) Share based payments

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with directors and management by

reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating

fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate

valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also

requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected

life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.

All share-based remuneration is ultimately recognised as an expense in profit or loss with a

corresponding credit to share option reserve. If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the

expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of

share options expected to vest.

Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs

are allocated to share capital.

(x) Financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents,

other assets (being the NZX listing bond), loans and advances to others, trade and other payables and

term borrowings. They are all recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable

transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial instruments are measured at amortised cost using

the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying

value of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables

approximates their fair value.

A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the

instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from

the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without

retaining control or substantively all risks and rewards of the asset. Financial liabilities are

derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.



20

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on

demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of

cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

The Group does not have any derivative financial instruments or any other financial assets or

liabilities that are classified as instruments at fair value through profit and loss under NZ IFRS.

(xi) Receivables and payables

Receivables and payables are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost

using the effective interest method. Due allowance is made for impaired receivables (doubtful debts).

(xii) Employee benefits

A liability for short-term employee benefits accruing to employees in respect of salaries and annual

leave other than termination benefits, that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the

end of the reporting period are accrued and recognised in the consolidated statement of financial

position. Short-term employee benefits as a result of employee services are measured at the

undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

The group has no long term benefits.

(xiii) Inventories


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in first-out basis, and net realisable

value after making any allowance for obsolescence or degradation.


(xiv) Intangible Assets

Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and

install the specific software. Costs that are associated directly with the development of software are

recognised as intangible assets where the following criteria are met:

For external developed software - expenditure on the research phase of a project to develop new

customised software for e-commerce platforms is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs that are

directly attributable to a project’s development phase are recognised as intangible assets, provided

they meet the following recognition requirements: (i) the development costs can be measured reliably

(ii) the project is technically and commercially feasible (iii) the Group intends to and has sufficient

resources to complete the project (iv) the Group has the ability to use or sell the software (v) the

software will generate probable future economic benefits.

Development costs not meeting these criteria for capitalisation are expensed as incurred.

The useful lives of the Group’s intangible assets excluding trademarks are assessed to be finite. Assets

with finite lives are amortised over their useful lives and tested for impairment whenever there are

indications that the assets may be impaired. Trademarks are not amortised and are reviewed

annually to ensure they are still applicable and registered.

Amortisation is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the

estimated useful life of the intangible asset of 3 to 5 years, from the date it is available for use.

(xv) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost. When an item of property, plant and equipment is

disposed of any gain or loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income

and calculated as the difference between the sale price and the carrying value of the item.

Depreciation is provided for on a diminishing value basis on all plant and equipment at depreciation

rates calculated to allocate the assets’ cost or valuation less estimated residual value over their

estimated useful lives.

Major depreciation periods are plant and equipment 5 to 15 years.

Assets are fully written off when no longer in use by the Group.



21

(xvi) Impairment

At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to

determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any

such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the

extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying

amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or

loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is

treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, other than for goodwill, the carrying amount of the

asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the

increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had

no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is

recognised in the statement of comprehensive income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried

at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

(xvii) Changes in accounting policies

There have been no changes to the accounting policies for the year ended 31 December 2019.

The following standard - NZIFRS 16: Leases became effective for period beginning on or after 1

January 2019. It was adopted and had no significant effect on the Group’s financial statements as at

31 December 2019. There were no other standards required to be adopted during 2019.

(xviii) Change in comparatives

Upon further consideration and review of the loan terms and conditions, it was determined that the

comparative figures of the loan amount should be classified as current at the reporting date. As such,

the loan was reclassified from non-current to current in the prior year.

The Group has $ 1,294,000 (2018: nil) of New Zealand domiciled entity tax losses to offset against

future taxable income.

The current tax losses of 2,401,000 and 49% shareholder continuity are subject to IRD approval. To

offset these tax losses against future taxable income, a 49% continuity of ultimate shareholders must

own the Company’s shares from beginning of the year of the loss to the end of the year of offset. The

company met this condition at 31 December 2019. At 31 December 2018 it did not meet this

condition and lost the ability to offset accumulated losses of $5,734,887 to 31 December 2018

against future taxable income.

There are no imputation credits available to shareholders (2018: $nil).

Deferred tax

No deferred tax asset has been recognised. Any future tax losses and deferred tax assets of $310,000

(2018: nil) will be recognised at the time that it is considered probable that future taxable profits are

available to offset these tax losses and continuation of shareholding maintained.

7. Share Capital

The Group’s share capital includes fully paid and subscribed ordinary shares 0f 2,151,797,451 and

unpaid ordinary shares of 16,595,856 totalling 2,169,393,367 (2018: 1,918,393,307). All fully

Payables (584) (584) (269) (269)

Loan (855) (855) (784) (784)

All carrying amounts of all financial assets are classified under the category of loans and receivables.

All financial liabilities are categorised at amortised cost.

Fair value measurement

The Group does not have any derivative financial instruments or any other financial assets or

liabilities that are classified as instruments at fair value through profit and loss under NZ IFRS.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that interest rates will change, increasing or decreasing the cost of

borrowing or lending. The interest payable on loans to 31 December 2019 was fixed at 6.5% and 8%

per annum for two loans. (2018: 6.5% per annum) – Refer Note 16.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that an outside party will not be able to meet its obligations to the holding

company or group. Financial assets which will potentially subject the Group to concentrations of

credit risk consist principally of cash and receivables. The cash is placed with high credit quality

financial institutions with a minimum short term Standard and Poor’s credit rating of A-1. In the

normal course of its business, the Group incurs credit risk from receivables and transactions with

financial institutions. The maximum credit risk is the carrying amounts of trade and other receivables

of $14,000 which $11,000 have an ageing duration of less than 6 months and no defaults - (2018

$26,000) – Refer Note 10.

The Group does not require any collateral or security to support financial instruments as it only

deposits with, or loans to, banks and other financial institutions with high credit ratings. The Group

does not expect the non-performance of any obligations at balance date.

Currency Risk

Exposure to currency risk arises in the normal course of the Group’s business. The Group monitors

exchange rate movements in foreign currencies and will take any action necessary to reduce currency

risks where possible.

Liquidity Risk

The Group manages its liquidity risk by maintaining availability of sufficient cash and funding via

adequate credit and bank facilities. Owing to the nature of the underlying business, the Group aims to

maintain funding flexibility through committed credit lines. The Group manages liquidity risk by

monitoring actual and forecast cash flows on a regular basis and rearranging banking and credit

facilities where appropriate.

The Group does not have the ability to meet its current obligations. It expects the proposed aged care

acquisition to proceed and to recapitalise the Group. Refer Note 28.

20. Segmental Reporting

The Group derives its revenue from the sale of one product in New Zealand with all revenue and assets

accounted for in New Zealand. The Group also had a wide range of customers with no single

customer contributing more than 10% of the Group’s revenue. It had one operating segment which

has been determined and based on financial information that is regularly reviewed by senior

management. NZ IFRS 8 Operating Segments: permits the aggregation of operating segments into

reportable segments. This has been adopted as the Group has only one operating segment with similar

economic characteristics being the production processes, customers and distribution channels for its

product. Based on this analysis, no additional disclosure is required in the annual financial

statements as the Group has one reportable segment. Refer Note 29 (b).

23. Capital Management

For the purpose of the Group’s capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other

equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent. Net debt includes borrowings less bank

funds.

The group’s capital management objectives are to safeguard the group's ability to continue as a going

concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to

maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The directors anticipate being able to raise additional equity funds as and when required – to fund

the proposed aged care acquisition - refer Note 28.

The amount of capital, cash and net debt that the Group has for the year at the reporting date is

summarised as follows:



32

2019

$000

2018

$000

Total (Negative)Equity (1,354) 798

Borrowings (855) (784)

Net (debt) cash (834) (272)


24. Contingent Liabilities

At 31 December 2019, the company had the following contingent liability:

Notice of prosecution

On 7 February 2019 the company was served with a notice of prosecution by the New Zealand

Ministry of Health for nine alleged breaches of the Medicines Act 1981. In these charges the Ministry

alleges that the company has sold an unlicensed medicine and that certain advertising by the company

is in breach of the Medicines Act.

The company intends to defend all charges and has made three brief appearances in the District Court

with little progress being made to set a hearing date.


The maximum fine per charge is $100,000 but fines for previous convictions for these offenses have

been significantly lower than the maximum permitted.


There were no other contingent liabilities at 31 December 2019. (2018:$nil).


25. Operating Commitments

The group had the following operating commitments:



2019

$000

2018

$000

Less than 1 year - 48

Between 1 and 3 years - 23

Total - 71

The company no longer rents office space and has no leasing commitments.

In 2018 it had an operating lease to lease space under an operating lease which was cancellable.

Operating lease payments, where the lessors effectively retain substantially all of the risks and benefits

of ownership of the leased items, are recognised in the determination of the operating result in equal

instalments over the lease term.

26. Capital Commitments

There are no capital commitments at 31 December 2019 (2018: $nil).


27. Auditor’s Remuneration

Audit fees of $25,000 (2018 $27,000) were provided for the audit of the financial statements only. No

other services were provided

.



33

28. Proposed acquisition of Aged Care Facilities

The Group has entered a conditional agreement to acquire:

(i) Three aged care facilities for $31.3m. This acquisition will involve the purchase of assets and

assumption of certain liabilities; and

(ii) a lease on a property to be used as an aged care facility.

This agreement consists of the Group acquiring:

• the Ranfurly Manor and Nelson Residential Care Centre in Feilding and Eileen Mary

Residential Care Centre in Dannevirke.

• a long term lease of Aldwins House in central Christchurch with a view to opening it as a rest

home/hospital in 2020. An option to purchase the property from interests associated with Mr.

Ian Cassels of The Wellington Company Limited is included in the acquisition.


The Group is negotiating terms for debt finance of $17.3m, new equity issuances proposed of $8m to

the vendor and $6m-$8m to various private placement participants, all at 0.1c per share.


The proposed acquisition is subject to shareholder vote and prior approval of all documentation

related to the proposed acquisition of aged care facilities, by the NZX and Financial Markets

Authority.


29. Subsequent Events

(i) The Group has submitted documentation to NZX and FMA for their approval prior to release

to shareholders.

(ii) On 14 February 2020 the company announced that it would cease all sales of Arthrem. This is

as a result of the recommendation to the Ministry of Health by the Medicines Classifications

Committee that artemisia annua be classified as a prescription medicine. Refer Note 2(b) on

going concern.

Due to the reclassification of artemisia annua as a prescription only medicine, the company

will no longer trade in its present form. Future activity will depend on the outcome of the

proposed aged care acquisition - Refer Note 28.
