AUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2022

PACIFIC EDGE SEES GROWTH INITIATIVES GAINING TRACTION


HIGHLIGHTS:

 Annual operating revenue increased 49% to $11.4 million, while total revenue increased 33% to

$13.9 million

 Total laboratory throughput (TLT) of Cxbladder tests increased 46% to 23,086 tests, while

hires drove increases in TLT and clinician engagement in the final months of the financial year

 Net losses after tax increase to $19.8 million from $14.2 million, reflecting a 37% increase in

operating expenses to $33.7 million as the company invested to drive growth

 Initiatives of the Investment Program to drive customer retention, growth, and clinical evidence

generation relevant to guideline inclusion announced

 The initiatives of the Investment Program in FY23 will be phased in proportion to business

milestones to responsibly manage burn rate

 Pacific Edge is well funded with cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits at $105.4

million at the end of the financial year, following the successful $103.5 million capital raise and

dual listing on the ASX in 2021



DUNEDIN, New Zealand – Cancer diagnostics company Pacific Edge (NZX, ASX: PEB) today announces

financial and operational results for the year to 31 March 2022 showing strong growth in the adoption of

its advanced genomic biomarker Cxbladder tests and early results suggesting initial traction can be

translated into faster growth.

It also announces new initiatives to drive the adoption of Cxbladder around the world. These include

increased investment in sales, marketing, innovation, and clinical evidence generation to advance the

case for the incorporation Cxbladder into globally relevant standards of care.

TEST VOLUMES

Total laboratory throughput (TLT) of Cxbladder for the year to 31 March 2022 rose 46% to 23,086 tests

from 15,814 tests in the prior financial year. Commercial test volumes increased 48% to 19,196, with the

increase reflecting the growing adoption of Cxbladder by physicians and healthcare organizations. These

results follow from the important milestones of obtain Medicare coverage and reimbursement from

Kaiser Permanente in 2020.

Pacific Edge Chief Executive Dr Peter Meintjes said: “In spite of the pandemic, the strong year-on-year

growth in Cxbladder test volumes demonstrates the value of Cxbladder to safely intensify or de-intensify

clinical workup for patients presenting with hematuria, resolve diagnostic dilemmas during hematuria

evaluation and monitor for the recurrence of urothelial cancer in post-treatment patients.

Company Announcement
26 May 2022


“Still, the last six months have been challenging. Restrictions in the healthcare sector have been more

severe and longer lasting than those imposed on the community at large, and this has limited engagement

with physicians ordering the tests and the organizations paying for them. It has also prevented patients

from engaging with their clinicians.

“With the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, the virus becoming endemic in our target markets, and recent

sales and marketing recruits beginning to hit their stride, we are seeing volumes begin to accelerate.

“Average weekly test throughput in the US from the start of April to last week were 455 tests per week,

a figure 25% higher than the average of the last year. These objective indicators, and the subjective

positive feedback from those regularly using Cxbladder, demonstrate that clinicians are gaining increasing

confidence in the use of Cxbladder earlier in the patient care pathway.

“They also show that Pacific Edge has an excellent opportunity to capitalize on existing traction in a very

large target market. The challenge before us is one of focus and execution to convert this enthusiasm and

momentum to greater recurring use of Cxbladder.”

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Total operating revenue - the income generated from Cxbladder test sales - increased 49% to $11.4 million

from $7.7 million over the same period last year. Total Income of $13.9m, an increase of 33% included

higher levels of research incentives and interest revenue, offset by a reduction of Covid-19 support of

$1.1 million.

Net loss after tax increased to $19.8 million from $14.2 million over the same period a year ago as Pacific

Edge accelerated its investment to drive the adoption of tests. Net operating expenses increased to $33.7

million from $24.7 million in the prior year.

Net operating cash outflow increased to $17.5 million from $13.6 million in the same period a year ago.

Pacific Edge remains well funded following the successful $103.5 million capital raising in 2021. Cash, cash

equivalents and short-term deposits stood at $105.4 million up from $23.1 million at the same time last

year.

REGIONAL PERFORMANCE

The US business is making steady progress, despite COVID creating barriers for in-person selling

opportunities – a key activity for growth and retention. Total Lab Throughput (TLT) for the year was up

59% to 18,864, while commercial tests increased 62% to 15,752.

Pacific Edge is working closely with Kaiser Permanente, the largest integrated healthcare provider in the

US with an estimated 12.5 million members covered by the Kaiser Health Plan, to roll Cxbladder out across

more sites and to educate more clinicians at each site in the use of Cxbladder. Kaiser Permanente

urologists familiar with Cxbladder through the evaluation continue to advocate for broader adoption

internally through an EMR integration with our support. In parallel with the EMR integration efforts, we

continue to focus our adoption efforts in Southern California adding new sites and ordering clinicians from

those involved in the initial evaluation. The adoption of Cxbladder Triage (CxbT) at Kaiser Permanente

enhances the case for its subsequent reimbursement by CMS.

Meanwhile we are working with the US Veterans Affairs (VA), the second largest integrated healthcare

provider in the US, to move from evaluation of our tests to widespread use across the more than nine

million veterans it covers. The completion of our DRIVE clinical study, which is examining the clinical utility

of Cxbladder in risk stratifying patients presenting with hematuria, is an important step towards this goal.

INITIATIVES OF THE INVESTMENT PROGRAM

“Since joining the company in January, my thoughts have coalesced around initiatives in three major areas

of the business that have the capacity to drive increases in long-term shareholder value,” Dr Meintjes

said.

“Firstly, we must continue to invest in technology and product innovation to maintain our leadership

position in urothelial cancer diagnostics. This means improving the performance characteristics of existing

products and expanding the context of use for Cxbladder to other segments of the patient care pathway.

“Secondly, we must augment that evidence through real world, real time clinical studies to establish

Cxbladder as a standard of care with clinicians, healthcare providers and funders ahead of inclusion of the

tests in globally relevant guidelines.

“And finally, having secured the support of these urological key opinion leaders, we must continue to

build awareness of the Cxbladder brand, taking our story to the wider clinician community and the patient

community.

“Today we are announcing initiatives that deliver on these priorities,” Dr Meintjes said.

Research and innovation

“We continue to evaluate new product concepts and cutting-edge technologies to determine if they can

be applied to the market and address an unmet clinical need. As we develop this technology, we will

continue to build a patent portfolio that we can subsequently develop into validated products for

commercialization. This may include other cancers, prognostics, or other non-cancer diseases where there

is strong biomarker signal in the urine – an existing core competency at Pacific Edge.

“The program will be staged and linked to the achievement of growth milestones. While we expect many

of these investments to quickly begin contributing to Pacific Edge’s business, we expect the aggregate of

these changes to drive long-term value creation and have greater contribution to revenue in the 2024

financial year and beyond,” Dr Meintjes said.

Evidence coverage and guidelines

Pacific Edge is accelerating its clinical evidence generation program to drive the inclusion of Cxbladder in

the American Urological Association (AUA), European Association of Urologists (EAU), and the National

Company Announcement
26 May 2022


Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. Simultaneously, Pacific Edge continues to drive

adoption in the absence of guidelines by demonstrating the utility of Cxbladder to urologists and uro-

oncologists through product evaluations, clinical studies partnerships, and the strength of our existing

clinical evidence.

Specifically, we are targeting evidence that demonstrates the value of Cxbladder in diagnosing

asymptomatic hematuria, in resolving diagnostic dilemmas (most commonly equivocal cystoscopy and

atypical cytology), detecting tumors in the upper tract, and reducing the patient burden of unnecessary

surveillance cystoscopies.

We want to ensure that Cxbladder is embedded from the earliest possible point and across the breadth

of the patient care pathway. The advancement of the LOBSTER study, which targets evidence to support

the inclusion of the test in the AUA standard of care announced to the NZX and ASX earlier this month, is

evidence of the program in action.

To support our evidence generation program, we have recently hired a VP of Medical Affairs, Dr Tamer

Aboushwareb, who will lead a team of 3-5 Medical Science Liaisons that will be technology and/or urology

specialists with a medical background.

The expanded team will increase our capacity to engage key opinion leaders on clinical studies; facilitate

faster and greater patient enrolment in studies; communicate our increasing body of clinical evidence to

drive the early adoption of Cxbladder and build momentum towards guideline inclusion. The team will

also work alongside our sales and marketing teams to assist with the adoption of Cxbladder by strategic

accounts; and work with the Clinical Science team to drive the generation of clinical utility evidence.

Adoption, retention, and revenue generation

We have a multi-pronged strategy for executing effectively in the market.

We are increasing the size of our sales team by up to 10 full time equivalents (FTE) to a planned total of

40 in FY24, as we know this direct sales model works and a controlled expansion will be a good use of

capital. Additionally, we have already deployed a Virtual Sales team to focus on rural clinicians and

patients and support the prospecting and onboarding for new accounts. The final number is dependent

on milestones during the course of the year. We are working with tenured Account Executives to lift

performance in established territories.

We are supporting market execution with investments in ancillary services, including the integration of

test ordering and resulting with healthcare providers’ electronic medical records (EMR) systems, driving

the adoption of patient in home sampling systems (PIHSS) and greater marketing investment and new

Managed Care initiatives.

Managed Care is an important element of customer care related to billing, explanation of benefits and

claims processing in the USA – it speaks strongly to the experience patients have when they engage with

Pacific Edge. “We want to drive towards seamless daily operations for healthcare providers, clinicians,

Company Announcement
26 May 2022


and patients as they order tests or collection kits, dispatch samples to our lab, and receive results,” Dr

Meintjes said.

Finally, we also plan to hire two FTE Strategic Account Sales people, who will work with the Virtual Sales

teams on service delivery at the largest healthcare providers and seek to onboard Cxbladder with new

providers.

Pacific Edge is investing to build the Cxbladder brand through partnerships with patient advocacy groups

such as the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network in the US and New Zealand’s Cancer Society. Pacific Edge

intends these efforts to educate patients on their options, empower patients to request non-invasive

alternatives to cystoscopy and ultimately contribute to revenue.

We are continuing to develop our plans in Australia and in Asian markets. The advancement of clinical

study collaborations in Singapore and the impending publication of data on a Singaporean cohort

represent an important step towards this latter goal.

OUTLOOK

Chairman Chris Gallaher said the Board was pleased with the progress Pacific Edge has made, especially

when the results are considered against the backdrop of the difficult selling environment the company

has faced for much of the financial year.

“With the easing of COVID restrictions, the Board is pleased to see the investments the company has

made to accelerate its growth are beginning to deliver results. The support we are seeing for CxBladder

has reinforced our confidence in the investment program made possible by last year’s capital raising,” Mr

Gallaher said.

“We are also delighted to have been able to attract back to New Zealand our new Chief Executive Dr Peter

Meintjes, who over the last few months has quickly begun to build on the strong legacy left by his

predecessor David Darling.

“Peter has brought to the company a deep understanding of the diagnostics market, a clear vision of what

is required to drive success and great enthusiasm for the role. He has quickly established himself within

the business and is bringing the team along with him.

“On behalf of shareholders, we thank all of the Pacific Edge team for their efforts in what has been an

extremely challenging period.”

Finally, Mr Gallaher thanked Pacific Edge’s Directors for their commitment to the company over the last

year.

“With the appointment of the respected healthcare leader Tony Barclay to the Board in March, Pacific

Edge now has the full complement of skills and experience to provide the necessary oversight and

guidance as the company moves into its next phase of growth. It is an exciting time for the company,” Mr

Gallaher said.

Company Announcement
26 May 2022


Dr Meintjes said Pacific Edge expects its investment in innovation, evidence, people, and brand to drive

growth in test volumes and revenue, but it will also lift operating costs in the business.

“Based on the activities in R&D, clinical studies, and market execution, I am excited about the prospect

for the company. Pacific Edge continues to realize the opportunities I observed when I was evaluating the

opportunity to lead the company,” Dr Meintjes said.

“The company is focused on long-term shareholder value and is well positioned to deliver that over the

coming years. The steps we have announced today represent a significant focus of resources to deliver

on our potential. We look forward to further updating shareholders at our annual meeting in late July.”

AMERICAS: KEY PAYORS ALREADY ACTIVATED
•The Kaiser Health Plan covers over 12.5m members, with >85% of those members in California

•Following internal utility evaluation, clinic-by-clinic rollout continues starting in Southern

California where the test was evaluated

•Volume growth is steady, and is expected to increase after Electronic Medical Record (EMR)

integration. This is viewed as a marathon, not a sprint

•CxbladderTriage adoption at Kaiser enhances the case for reimbursement by CMS

•The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is the

second largest integrated healthcare system in the US serving >9m veterans each year

•The DRIVE clinical study is an important engagement with VA urologists to determine utility in a

cohort of VA patients

•As the study nears completion, Pacific Edge expects to slowly migrate the study sites and other VA

sites to commercial adoption as part of a site-by-site rollout

•CxbladderTriage adoption at the VA enhances the case for reimbursement by CMS

•Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) covers more than 61.5m US citizens over 65

and people on low incomes

•Average age of patients presenting with hematuria is over 70 years old. Consequently, the payor

landscape skews towards Medicare with more than two thirds of our patient population covered

by Medicare

•Focus is on selling to urologists, who order Cxbladder tests based on medical necessity

APAC: NEW ZEALAND AT THE FOREFRONT WITH ADOPTION BY PRIMARY CARE

•More than 70% of New Zealand’s population are already

covered by individual DHB agreements. Further market

adoption in New Zealand is expected to be slower that

other regions with APAC

•COVID restrictions impacted our sales efforts leading to a

slower rate of growth in New Zealand during FY22

•The upcoming consolidation of the DistrictHealth Boards in

New Zealand provides an opportunity for greater coverage

and more consistent usage of Cxbladder

•Promoting additional hospitals to utilize Cxbladder in

Primary Care (aka the “Canterbury Model”) provides an

opportunity for additional growth in New Zealand

•Early commercial testing volume received from Northern

Health in Melbourne with nineother Australian hospitals

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Reporting Entity

The consolidated financial statements (hereafter referred to as the ‘financial statements’) presented for the year

ended 31 March 2022 are for Pacific Edge Limited (the ‘Company’) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as

the ‘Group’). The Group’s purpose is to research, develop and commercialise new diagnostic and prognostic tools

for the early detection and management of cancers.

Pacific Edge Limited is registered in New Zealand under the Companies Act 1993 and is a Financial Markets

Conduct (FMC) reporting entity under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The financial statements

of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013

and the NZX Listing Rules. The financial statements presented are those of the Group, consisting of the Parent

entity, Pacific Edge Limited and its subsidiaries. The Company is dual listed, with its primary listing of ordinary

shares quoted in New Zealand on the NZX Main Board, and a secondary listing in Australia as a Foreign Exempt

Entity on the ASX.

These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on the 25th May 2022.

Basis of Preparation

These financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP). The Group is a for-profit entity for the purposes of complying with NZ GAAP.

The financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ

IFRS), other New Zealand accounting standards and authoritative notices that are applicable to entities that apply

NZ IFRS. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency and

Group’s presentation currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000). The accounting

principles recognised as appropriate for the measurement and reporting of earnings, cash flows and financial

position on a historical cost basis have been used.

The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows have been

prepared so that all components are stated net of GST. All items in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are stated net

of GST, with the exception of receivables and payables.

Management of Capital

The capital structure of the Group consists of equity raised by the issue of ordinary shares in the Company. The

Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going

concern in order to provide returns for shareholders, provide benefit for other stakeholders and to maintain an

optimal capital structure to support the development of its business. The Company meets these objectives through

closely managing revenue and expenditure, and where required issues new shares. As part of meeting these

objectives, the Company completed a Share Placement in September 2021 (issuing 59,259,259 shares at $1.35) and

a further Retail Offer in October 2021 (issuing 17,398,099 shares at $1.35 per share). Refer to Note 18 for further

details on the capital raising activity during FY22.

The financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries of Pacific Edge Limited as at 31

March 2022 and for the year then ended. All subsidiaries have the same balance date as the Company of 31 March.

Pacific Edge Limited consolidates all entities over which Pacific Edge Limited has control. Control is achieved when

the Group:

• Has power to direct the activities of the entity;

• Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from involvement with the entity; and

• Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

Subsidiaries which form part of the Group are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the

Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. The consideration

transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the

equity interest issued by the Group.

The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration

arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and

contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition

date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either

at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. Inter-company

transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised

losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure

consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing these financial statements, the Group made estimates and assumptions concerning the future.

These estimates and assumptions may differ from the subsequent actual results. Estimates and assumptions are

continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations or future

events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

All significant accounting policies have been applied on a basis consistent with those used in the audited financial

statements of Pacific Edge Limited for the year ended 31 March 2021.

2. NEW STANDARDS

New and Amended Standards Adopted by the Group

There are no new standards or interpretations material to the Group to be applied during the year.

New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted by the Group

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 March

2022 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. These standards are not expected to have

a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

(a) Basic

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit (or loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company

by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year excluding ordinary shares purchased

by the Company (Note 18).

Weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue 767,924 714,031

Earnings per share (0.026) (0.020)

(b) Diluted

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding to

assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group’s dilutive potential ordinary shares are in the

form of share options. As the Group made a loss during the current year and losses cannot be diluted, basic and

diluted earnings per share are the same.

4. LABORATORY THROUGHPUT AND COMMERCIAL TESTS –

NON-GAAP REPORTING

Laboratory Throughput is a key metric for the Group: Laboratory Throughput provides evidence of the usage

of Cxbladder products globally and the rates of adoption between different customer segments. The inclusion of

this non-GAAP reporting is considered helpful to readers of these accounts, as it allows readers to compare the

current period to prior periods and assess usage trends on a consistent basis. Total laboratory throughput includes

commercial tests, which are invoiced to customers (including tests for patients covered by the US government’s

medical program through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)), and tests which are not

considered to be commercial as these tests relate to Research Tests or other nonchargeable activities.

Commercial Test numbers are also a key metric for the Group: Commercial Tests are those tests for which the

Company is actively seeking reimbursement and cash receipts, and tests performed at no charge in order to gain

new customers. The inclusion of this non-GAAP reporting is considered helpful to readers of these accounts as it

allows readers to compare the current period to prior periods and assess trends on a consistent basis.

5. REVENUE

Background information on US customers and the payment process

A physician orders a Cxbladder test when a patient presents to their clinic with symptoms that indicate the

possibility of bladder cancer. The most common and significant symptom is haematuria or blood in their urine.

A urine sample is collected from the patient and sent in the Cxbladder Urine Sampling System to the Group’s

laboratory in the US or in New Zealand. The Group receives and processes the urine sample and returns the results

of the test back to the ordering physician. The individual patient is the Group’s customer, however typically in the

US market, the patient’s insurer may pay the Group for some or all of the cost of the test.

When a physician orders a Cxbladder test, the Group has an obligation to perform the test and report the results to

the ordering physician irrespective of the patient’s insurance contract. A patient may have private insurance cover,

be covered by the US government’s medical program through CMS, self cover or have no insurance cover.

Once the Cxbladder test has been completed, all information required for insurance purposes is sent to the Group’s

billing and reimbursement agent to begin the process to collect reimbursement from any applicable insurance

company/ies for the Cxbladder test performed.

For patients with private insurance cover, the relevant patient and test order information will be sent to their

insurance provider. When the Group does not have an individual agreement with that insurance provider to pay

for Cxbladder tests (“out of network”), the insurance provider will assess that individual patient’s test for medical

necessity and the level of insurance cover (if any) available to cover the cost of the test. This process of assessment

can take many months to work through before the Group receives payments (if any) from the insurance company.

The Group does have agreements with some insurance providers but these currently cover a small proportion of

the Group’s customers.

For patients covered by CMS, invoices are sent to CMS. Prior to 3 July 2020, Pacific Edge was not included in the

Local Coverage Determination (LCD) and as a result, did not normally receive any amounts for tests performed

for patients covered by CMS. On 3 July 2020, Pacific Edge received notice of inclusion in the LCD, resulting in

the Company receiving reimbursement for Cxbladder Monitor and Detect tests performed after 1 July 2020 for

patients covered by the CMS across the US that are deemed medically necessary.

For uninsured patients, the Group has no certainty of when or if the patient will pay.

Rest of World Customers

Revenue from Rest of World customers is primarily from the District Health Boards (DHBs) in New Zealand. In all

Rest Of World locations, there is a clearly defined contract with the customer meeting the requirements of NZ IFRS

15. Pacific Edge Diagnostics New Zealand Limited has individual contracts with DHBs across New Zealand and

revenue is recognised as described on the following pages.

Critical Accounting Estimate

The application of NZ IFRS 15: Revenue from contracts with customers (NZ IFRS 15) requires the application of

significant judgement in determining whether the Group meets the five key criteria identified in NZ IFRS 15, which

must be met before revenue may be recognised as performance obligations are satisfied. For the Group this would

result in some revenue recognised in advance of the receipt of cash.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022
11

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2022

The significant judgements adopted by the Group relate to :

- Determining if a contract with the customer exists;

- Identifying the rights of each party;

- Identifying the payment terms;

- Ensuring the contract has commercial substance; and

- Determining whether it is probable that the Group will collect the consideration to which it is entitled.

While there has been significant judgement applied to all five criteria, there are two criteria that have higher levels

of uncertainty, requiring increased levels of judgement. The significant judgements applied to determine the

Transaction Price and determining the probability of collecting consideration are detailed in the Accounting Policy

relating to Revenue from Cxbladder Tests.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Revenue from Cxbladder tests

The Group performs Cxbladder tests when requested by a patient’s physician. At the point the test results are

returned to the physician, the Group has satisfied its performance obligation and has the right to issue an invoice.

The Group has determined a contract exists, and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial

substance and the rights of each party have been identified.

On the 3 July 2020, Pacific Edge received notice of inclusion in the LCD, resulting in the Company receiving

reimbursement for Cxbladder Monitor and Detect tests performed after 1 July 2020 for patients covered by

the CMS across the US that are deemed medically necessary. Reimbursement for these tests is at the already

determined national CMS price for Cxbladder of US$760 per test.

Since Cxbladder’s inclusion in the LCD, based on historical data, the Group has been able to reliably estimate both

the probability and size of payment received from the CMS. The inclusion within LCD combined with the growing

support for the use of Cxbladder within the US has also allowed the Group to reliably estimate both the probability

and size of payment received from customers covered by Medicare Advantage policies provided by private

insurers.

Tests performed for patients covered by other private policies, or tests performed for those with no insurance

cover continue to be recognised as revenue when cash is received due to not being able to reliably estimate both

probability and size of payment received.

The Group have concluded that the contracts with the CMS and customers covered by Medicare Advantage

include variable consideration because the amounts paid by Medicare or the commercial health insurance

carriers that provide Medicare Advantage may be paid at less than our standard rates or not paid at all, with such

differences considered implicit price concessions. Variable consideration attributable to these price concessions is

measured at the expected value, and are determined by historical average collection rates by test type and payor

category taking into consideration the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of our past experiences.

Such variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant

reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur.

A provision of $143,000 has been included to allow for tests that have been paid to the group and recognised

as revenue for the period to 31 March 2022, which are subsequently required to be refunded back to the payer

after the 31 March 2022 as a result of internal reviews undertaken by that payer. The estimation of the appropriate

allowance has been made by reviewing historical data of the Group.

As a result of the Significant Judgements applied, the Group have determined the criteria under NZ IFRS 15 which

allows revenue to be recognised in advance of the receipt of cash have been met, and the Group has recognised

revenue for tests which were performed from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 for which payment has not been

received by 31 March 2022 for CMS and Medicare Advantage.

Rest of World revenue recognition from tests performed

There has been no change in accounting policy or estimates for Operating Revenue for the Rest of World.

The Group performs Cxbladder tests when requested by a patient’s physician in New Zealand, Australia and

Singapore. At the point the test results are returned to the physician, the Group has satisfied its performance

obligations have been met. At the end of the month an invoice is issued to the cutomer based on the number of

tests performed. Revenue is recognised when the test is returned.

OTHER INCOME

Grant Income

Government Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the

conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received. Government Grants are recognised in Other

Income in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, on a systematic basis over the periods in which

the Group recognises the related costs as expenses for which the grants are intended to compensate.

The Company receives grants from Callaghan Innovation for postgraduate internships and summer students.

New Zealand Trade and Enterprise awarded the Company an International Growth Fund grant, to support the

growth of the Group’s commercial and marketing operations in the US. The grant commenced on 17 August 2020

and runs until 16 August 2023. New Zealand Trade and Enterprise reimburses the Company for 50 percent of

eligible expenditure, up to a maximum of NZ$600,000, which was reached during the year ended 31 March 2022.

All conditions of the grants have been complied with.

Research Rebates and Tax Incentives

- New Zealand R&D Tax Incentive (RDTI)

The New Zealand RDTI is a 15% tax credit on the money invested in eligible research and development (R&D) that

has occurred in New Zealand. As the New Zealand companies are in a tax loss position, the Group is eligible for the

Tax Incentive to be refunded.

The RDTI is recognised at its fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the credit will be received and

the Group will comply with all attached conditions.

All conditions of the New Zealand RDTI have been complied with. Payment will be received after submission of

each annual research and development tax claim.

- Australia Cxbladder Research Rebate

A Cxbladder research programme is administered by Pacific Edge Pty Limited and tax rebates are received as a

result of this programme.

The Cxbladder research rebate is recognised at its fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the rebate

will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.

All conditions of the research rebate have been complied with. Payment will be received after submission of each

annual research and development tax claim.

Covid-19 Support

During the previous year ended 31 March 2021, the Group received Covid-19 support in the countries in which it

operates. No support was received during the year ended 31 March 2022.

PREVIOUSLY UNRECOGNISED REVENUE

Approximately 40% of Cxbladder tests performed by the Group in the US up to 30 June 2020 relate to patients

covered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The Group invoiced CMS for tests performed

for all patients with CMS coverage, however no revenue from these 22,634 tests has been recognised in the past.

In previous Financial Statements the Group reported that while no revenue has been received or recognised on

these 22,634 tests, the Group still noted the potential of future receipt as negotiations continued. Negotiations

have concluded and no further avenue is available for the Group to obtain reimbursement.

6. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Research is the original and planned investigation undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific

knowledge and understanding. This includes: direct and overhead expenses for diagnostic and prognostic

biomarker discovery and research; pre-clinical trials; and costs associated with clinical trial activities. All research

costs are expensed when incurred.

Development is the application of research findings to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially

improved processes or products prior to the commencement of commercial production.

When a project reaches the stage where it is probable that future expenditure can be recovered through the

process or products produced, expenditure that is directly attributed or reasonably allocated to that project is

recognised as a development asset within intangible assets. If the expenditure also benefits processes or products

for which it cannot be recovered, it will be expensed. The asset will be amortised from the date of commencement

of commercial production of the product to which it relates on a straight-line basis over the period of expected

benefit. Development assets are reviewed annually for any impairment in their carrying value.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2022

Employee Share Scheme

The Company has an Employee Share Scheme where ordinary shares in the Company may be issued to selected

employees to recognise performance or a significant contribution to the Company. These shares may be issued

in lieu of a cash bonus or in addition to the employee’s remuneration. The ordinary shares are issued directly to

the employee and the Company accounts for the cost of the shares. The shares are allocated to the employee on

the date that the Board approves the issue of the share capital. All employees who hold ordinary shares in the

Company must comply with the Company’s Share Trading Policy.

The issuance of ordinary shares to employees is treated as equity settled share-based payments. Equity-settled

share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date

based on the market price at the time of issuance. The fair value of shares granted is recognised as an employee

expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when the shares are issued. During the 2022

financial year, 123,000 (2021: 645,000) ordinary shares were issued to employees as part of the Employee Share

Scheme. The associated non-cash cost of these shares was $172,000 (2021: $284,000). Refer to Note 18 for further

details on the shares issued during the financial year.

Employee Share Option Scheme

The Board believes that the issue of share options provides an appropriate incentive for participating employees

to grow the total shareholder return of the Company. Share options are issued to selected employees to recognise

performance or contribution to the Company or as a long-term component of remuneration in accordance with the

Group’s remuneration policy.

The Company has two categories of Share Options which are outlined below:

Performance Options

Performance Options are issued to selected employees to recognise performance or a significant contribution to

the Company. Performance Options entitle the holder, on payment of the exercise price, to one ordinary share of

the Company. The exercise price of the granted options is determined using the fair value of the Company’s share

price at the time of the options being granted. Performance Options vest immediately and there is no service

requirement linked to the options or any other vesting conditions. The term in which options may be exercised, and

ultimately lapse if not exercised, is up to ten years.

Incentive Options

Incentive Options are issued to selected employees as a long-term component of remuneration in accordance

with the Group’s remuneration policy. Incentive Options entitle the holder, on payment of the exercise price, to one

ordinary share of the Company.

The exercise price of the granted options is determined using the fair value of the Company’s share price at the

time of the options being granted. Incentive Options vest over three years and there is a requirement to remain

as an employee of the Company in order for the options to vest. Tranches of options are exercisable over four to

ten years from the relevant vesting date. No options can be exercised later than the tenth anniversary of the final

vesting date.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

All options are accounted for as equity settled share based payments as the Group has no legal or constructive

obligation to repurchase or settle any awards in cash. The fair value of all options granted is recognised as an

expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over their vesting period, with a corresponding

increase in the employee share option reserve.

The fair value is determined at the grant date of the options and expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting

period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase

in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revisits its estimate of the number of equity instruments

expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the Consolidated

Statement of Comprehensive Income such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a

corresponding adjustment to the share based payments reserve.

During the year, there were 5,527,000 (2021: 3,636,000) share options exercised resulting in an increase in share

capital of $4,040,000 (2021: $2,636,000). Refer to note 18 for further details on the share options that were

exercised.

* The weighted average share price at the date of options exercised during the year ended 31 March 2022 was NZ$1.35

(2021: NZ$0.92).

The Group used the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

The Black-Scholes valuation model has been determined as the most appropriate method as it estimates the

theoretical value of derivatives taking into account the impact of time and other risk factors. The significant inputs

into the Black-Scholes valuation model were the market share price at grant date, the exercise price shown below,

the expected annualised volatility of 50-70%, a dividend yield of 0%, an expected option life of between one and

ten years and an annual risk-free interest rate of between 0.65% and 4.71%.

The volatility measured is the standard deviation of continuously compounded share returns and is based on a

statistical analysis of daily share prices in the past one to ten years.

Share options outstanding at the end of the reporting periods have the following expiry dates, vesting dates and

exercise prices:

13. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Property, Plant and Equipment are those assets held by the Group for the purpose of carrying on its business

activities on an ongoing basis. All Property, Plant and Equipment is stated at cost less subsequent accumulated

depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost of purchased assets includes the original purchase

consideration given to acquire the assets, and the value of other directly attributable costs that have been

incurred in bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for their intended service. This includes the

laboratory equipment for the establishment of the laboratories.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the net proceeds with the carrying amount and are

recognised within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when they occur.


Depreciation

Depreciation of plant and equipment is based on writing off the assets over their useful lives, using the straight line

(SL) and diminishing value (DV) basis.

Main rates used are:

Plant and Laboratory Equipment 5% to 40% DV

Computer Equipment 5% to 67% DV

Leasehold Improvements 6% to 10% SL

Furniture and Fittings 5% to 25% DV

The assets’ useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Intellectual Property

The costs of acquired Intellectual Property are recognised at cost. All Intellectual Property has a finite life.

The carrying value of Intellectual Property is reviewed for impairment, where indicators of impairment exist.

Amortisation is charged on a diminishing value basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets (1-20

years). The estimated useful life and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

The following costs associated with Intellectual Property are expensed as incurred during the research phases of

a project and are only capitalised when incurred as part of the development phase of a process or product within

development assets: Internal Intellectual Property costs including the costs of patents and patent application.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

ACCOUNTING POLICY

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.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022
24

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2022

The reportable operating segment Commercial derives its revenue primarily from sales of Cxbladder 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 their net result 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 year

16. INCOME TAX

ACCOUNTING POLICY

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated

Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other

comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income

or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the

balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable

tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts

expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the

tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements in accordance with NZ

IAS 12. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be

available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by

the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the

deferred income tax liability is settled.

The Company and Group has incurred an operating loss for the 2022 financial year and no income tax is

payable.

Tax Losses

The group has losses to carry forward of approximately $112,330,000 (2021: $94,400,000) with a potential tax

benefit of $25,694,000 (2021: $21,500,000). The tax losses are split between the following jurisdictions:

United States 80,300 16,900 21%

Tax losses are available to be carried forward and offset against future taxable income subject to the various

conditions required by income tax legislation being complied with.

Deferred Research and Development Tax Expenditure:

The Group also has deferred research and development tax expenditure of $45,846,000 (2021: $42,200,000) to

carry forward and claim for income tax purposes in New Zealand in the future. This has a tax effect of $12,889,000

(2021: $11,900,000). The deferred research and development tax expenditure can either be carried forward and

offset against future income arising from the research and development, or subject to meeting the shareholder

continuity requirements can be offset against future other taxable income.

Deferred Tax Assets:

The Group does not recognise a deferred tax asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Imputation Credit Account

The Group has imputation credits of Nil (2021: Nil).

17. PAYABLES AND ACCRUALS

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Trade and Other Payables Due Within One Year

Trade payables are recognised at the value of the invoice received from a supplier. The carrying value of trade

payables is considered to approximate fair value as amounts are unsecured and are usually paid by the 30th of the

month following recognition.

19. FOREIGN CURRENCY

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Foreign Currency Transactions

The individual financial statements of the Group are presented in the currency of the primary economic

environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the Group financial

statements, the results and financial position of the Group entity are expressed in New Zealand dollars (‘NZ$’),

which is the functional currency of the Parent and the presentation currency for the Group financial statements.

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s

functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the

transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are

retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Non monetary items denominated in foreign

currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the date the transaction occurs.

Exchange differences are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in

which they arise.

Foreign Operations

For the purpose of presenting the Group financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign

operations are expressed in New Zealand dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting

period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange

rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions

are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated as

a separate component of equity in the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve. Such exchange differences

are reclassified from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) in the period in which the foreign

operation is disposed of.

Foreign Currency Translation Reserve

Exchange differences relating to the translation from the functional currencies of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries into

New Zealand dollars are brought to account by entries made directly to the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve.

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Foreign Currency Transactions

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits, receivables, security deposits, finance

lease liabilities and trade creditors. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual

policy statements associated with each item.

Managing Financial Risk

The Group’s activities expose it to the financial risks of changes in interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and

foreign currency risk.

Management is of the opinion that the Company and Group’s exposure to market risk during the period and at

balance date is defined as:

Risk FactorDescription

(i) Currency riskFinancial assets and financial liabilities are denominated in NZD, USD, AUD, SGD and

EUR currencies

(ii) Interest rate risk Exposure to changes in Bank interest rates resulting in cashflow interest rate risk

(iii) Credit RiskRisk of financial loss in counterparty fails to meet contractual obligations

(iv) Liquidity RiskRisk the Group may not be able to meet its commitments as they fall due

(v) Other price riskNot applicable as no securities are bought, sold or traded

(i) Foreign Currency Risk

The Group faces the risk of movements in foreign currency exchange rates in relation to the New Zealand dollar.

The Group has significant operations in United States Dollars and less significant operations in Australian dollars,

Euros and Singapore dollars. As a result of this, the financial performance and financial position are impacted by

movements in exchange rates.

The Group manages foreign currency risk by purchasing overseas goods only when necessary. It will also purchase

foreign currency to fund overseas operations based on cash flow forecasts where it can maximise value. There are

no formal foreign currency hedges entered into.

A 10% increase or decrease in foreign currency against the NZD will reduce/increase the loss reported by

approximately $167,000 (2021: $130,000) and increase/reduce equity by the same amount.

(ii) Interest Rate Risk

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from its cash and equivalents, and short term deposits. Cash and equivalents

comprise cash on hand and deposits at call with banks. Short term deposits comprise of term deposits placed with

New Zealand banks on fixed rates for different periods of time.

Management regularly review its banking arrangements to ensure it achieves the best returns on its funds while

maintaining access to necessary liquidity levels to service the Group’s day-to-day activities. The mixture of bank

deposits at floating interest rates and short term deposits at different rates over various periods of time mitigate

the risk of interest rates being received at less than market rates. The Group does not enter into interest rate

hedges.

A 1% increase or decrease in bank deposit interest rates will reduce/increase the loss reported by approximately

$1,041,000 and increase/reduce equity by the same amount (2021: $219,000).

(iii) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to

meet its contractual obligations.

The Group incurs credit risk from:

a) Cash and short term deposits;

b) Receivables in the normal course of its business; and

c) Other assets.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022
31

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2022

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk other than bank deposits with 26.1% at Westpac, 25.4%

at BNZ, 22.3% at ANZ, 17.4% at Kiwibank and 0.4% at Wells Fargo. The Group’s cash and short term deposits are

placed with high credit quality financial institutions including major banks who have at least a A+ credit rating

Regular monitoring of receivables is undertaken to ensure that the credit exposure remains within the Group’s

normal terms of trade. These receivables balances mainly relate to New Zealand customers, US customers, and the

Australian Government. Refer to note 10 for further details on expected credit losses for receivables.

The Group continues to invoice for every billable test completed in the US, and the billing and reimbursement

process continues to maximise the cash that is received by the Group. The Group has included an accrual for tests

performed from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 for which payment has not been received by 31 March 2022.

Regular monitoring of other assets is undertaken to ensure that the credit exposure is limited. This is firstly done

by determining the credit risk before making security deposits on leased properties and ensuring suppliers are not

paid in advance where there is uncertainty in relation to their credit worthiness.

The carrying values of financial assets represent the maximum exposure to credit risk as represented below:

109,47626,112

(iv) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulty in raising funds at short notice to meet its

commitments as they fall due. Management maintains sufficient cash balances and uses cash flow forecasts to

determine future cash flow requirements. The Group does not have any external loans but does have four finance

leases.

Payables and Accruals totaling $4,983,000 are due within 3 months of balance date (2021: $3,197,000).

Fair Values

In the opinion of the Directors, the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair

values at balance date.

22. RELATED PARTIES

A shareholder, the University of Otago, provided services, including rental space and car parking, to the Group to

the value of $361,000 (2021: $340,000). The Group has commitments totaling $269,000 (2021: $267,000) with the

University of Otago in the next financial year.

23. FINANCE AND OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS

ACCOUNTING POLICY

The group leases various properties and equipment. Rental contracts vary depending on the type of asset

being leased. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and

conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for

borrowing purposes.

Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Group allocates the consideration in the

contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices.

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is

available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance

cost is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over the lease period to produce a

constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is

depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

(i) Measurement basis

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the

net present value of the following lease payments:

• Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

• Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;

• Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

• The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

• Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of

the liability.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily

determined, which is generally the case for leases in the group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used. The

incremental borrowing rate is the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary

to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms,

security and conditions.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022
33

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2022

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group:

• Where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to

reflect changes in financing conditions since third-party financing was received;

• Uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by Pacific

Edge Limited, which does not have recent third-party financing; and

• Makes adjustments specific to the lease, e.g. term, country, currency and security.

The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are

not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or

rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the Consolidated

Statement of Comprehensive Income over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the

remaining balance of the liability for each period. The 2021 comparative for lease repayments in the Consolidated

Statement of Cashflows has been split between principal and interest to be comparable with the current year

reporting.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

• The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

• Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date;

• Any initial direct costs; and

• Restoration costs.

Right-of-Use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on

a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the Right-of-Use asset is

depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis

as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets

include IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

ended 31 March 2022. 

In the markets the Group operates in, measures have been employed by Governments in an attempt to limit the

spread of the virus. This has restricted the ability for people to visit clinics and have tests performed. 

While throughput quantities for the group for the year ended 31 March 2022 are up 46% on the prior year, the

restricted access to clinics has offset some of the increase expected from the increased Sales and Marketing

expenditure (up 55% on the prior year).

The benefits of the increased investment in Sales and Marketing are expected to be realised by the Group in the

next 12 months as Covid-19 restrictions are relaxed and/or removed.

The Group has Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short Term Deposits of $105,412,000, which provides confidence in the

ability of the Group to manage any on-going impacts caused by Covid-19.

Description of the key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Determining the timing of revenue

recognition for US revenue

As disclosed in Note 5 of the consolidated

financial statements, the timing of revenue

recognition for US based revenue varies by

revenue stream between completion of the

Cxbladder test and receipt of cash.

The Company has two material United States

(US) revenue streams:

1. Coverage via Centers for Medicare and

Medicaid Services (CMS), and

2. Private Insurance.

In July 2020, the Company received Local

Coverage Determination (“LCD”) for CMS. This

determination created a set price for the

Company’s tests of US$760 per test from July

2020. This established a clear transaction price

for the tests. This transaction price, along with a

history of payment, satisfies the NZ IFRS

requirements for revenue recognition.

Accordingly, in the current year US derived

revenue for tests performed for CMS and

Medicare Advantage has been recognised in

advance of cash being received. Revenue for

these customers is recognised when the tests

are performed.

All other US derived revenue is accounted for

on a cash receipts basis as disclosed in Note 5.




Our audit procedures included the following:

We obtained an understanding of management's processes

and controls for the CMS and Private Insurance US revenue

streams, including the relevant controls at the external billing

reimbursement service organisation. We obtained the SOC1

System and Organisation Controls Report for the external

billing reimbursement service organisation, and evaluated

the evidence provided over the design and operating

effectiveness of the relevant controls.

We evaluated management's determination of whether a

contract with customers existed by:

● Assessing the data supporting revenue recognition for

CMS and Medicare Advantage to confirm that the

transaction price can be determined and collectability is

probable;

● Assessing the data supporting revenue recognition for

private insurance to confirm that the transaction price

and collectability is only probable when cash is received;

● Performing subsequent receipt testing to validate the

probability of collection of the year end receivable and

performing look back procedures over the prior year

receivable to test collection rates; and

● Evaluating the application of NZ IFRS 15 against

technical guidance and the accounting standards.

We have no matters to report from the procedures performed

above.


Our audit approach


Overview


Overall group materiality: $467,000, which represents 2.5% of (loss)/earnings

before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA).

We chose earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA)

as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the

performance of the Group is most commonly measured by users, and is a

generally accepted benchmark.

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us

to provide an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking

into account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls,

and the industry in which the Group operates.

As reported above, we have one key audit matter, being:

● Determining the timing of revenue recognition for US revenue.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022

PwC



As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material

misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In particular, we considered where

management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates

that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all

of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among

other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material

misstatement due to fraud.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain

reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material

misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if,

individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of

users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality,

including the overall Group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole as set out

above. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit,

the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both

individually and in aggregate, on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

How we tailored our group audit scope

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion

on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the

accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.

We selected transactions and balances to audit based on their materiality to the Group rather than

determining the scope of procedures to perform by auditing only specific subsidiaries or business

units.

Other information

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the

information included in the Annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements

and our auditor's report thereon. The Annual report is expected to be made available to us after the

date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will

not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.

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.

When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material

misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the Directors and use our

professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial statements

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of

the consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, 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.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022

PwC



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 objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial

statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to

issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,

but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs will always

detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are

considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence

the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is

located at the External Reporting Board’s website at:

https://www.xrb.govt.nz/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Who we report to

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

undertaken so that we might state 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.
