Me Today results for the twelve months ended 31 March 2022,
non-cash impairment and pro-rata capital raise
Me Today Limited (NZX: MEE) has released its unaudited group results for the twelve months ended
31st March 2022.
The result includes nine months trading of the King Honey business since acquisition on 30 June
2021, together with twelve months trading for the other members of Me Today group. The group
has changed its balance date to 30 June and will prepare audited financial statements for the fifteen-
month period ended 30 June 2022, to be released to the market by 30 August 2022.
The result for the group records net sales of $7.22m and an operating loss before tax of $5.89m. In
addition to operating losses, the group has incurred extraordinary non-cash items of $11.92m. The
total net loss for the year is $17.81m. The extraordinary items are explained further below and
include an impairment of $9.9m of the Goodwill recognised on acquisition of the King Honey
business.
In September 2021 the company advised the market that sales by the King Honey business would be
significantly lower than expected. Sales revenue continues to be challenging creating cashflow
pressure. The King Honey business has had a successful harvest with 380 tonnes of honey produced
in the 2022 season just completed. In addition, King Honey has 265 tonnes of Honey available from
the 2020 and 2021 seasons.
With the significant volume of honey stocks, the group has made the decision to downsize its
Beekeeping operations and reduce the cashflow draw created by the next season's harvest. A
decision has been made to close the Kaitaia, Kerikeri and Blenheim Beekeeping operations. The
group will continue to review all aspects of the King Honey business to ensure the cost structure is
sized right for sustainable growth.
To enable continued investment in brands, and to take advantage of international opportunities, the
Me Today board has agreed to undertake a pro rata capital raise of up to $10m through a rights
issue of 1.3 new shares for every one share existing held at an issue price of 1 cent per new share.
The record date and further details of the capital raise will be communicated to the market prior to 6
June 2022.
The company’s largest shareholder, MTL Securities Limited, has agreed to apply for $4.2m of new
shares (comprising its $3.416m entitlement and the balance as oversubscriptions). To the extent
required by the Takeovers Code, MTL Securities has agreed that some of its existing shares would be
reclassified as non-voting shares, contemporaneously with allotments under the capital raise.
The key aspects of the 31 March 2022 financial statements are explained further below.
• Total revenue for the group for the year is $7.59m less marketing services provided by a
customer of $0.38m resulting in net revenue of $7.22m
o Gross revenue for the Me Today sale of goods and agency services segments was
$2.98m an increase of 104% on revenue of $1.46m in the March 2021 year.
2
o Gross revenue for King Honey segment was $4.61m
• The operating EBITDA loss for the group was $4.27m, split between the business divisions as
follows.
o The Me Today sale of goods and agency services segment operating EBITDA loss was
$1.81m compared to an EBITDA loss of $1.86m for the year ended 31 March 2021.
o The King Honey segment operating EBITDA loss was $1.21m.
o The listed company and shared services operating costs were $1.25m compared to
$982k for the year to 31 March 2021.
• The Group incurred extraordinary non-cash items of $11.92m. Further explanation of these
are provided below.
o Goodwill Impairment
The group has considered the future cash flows arising out of the sale of Manuka
Honey through the King Honey division. As a result of the completion of discounted
cashflow modelling the group has determined that the carrying value of Goodwill
should be impaired by $9.9m.
o Accounting loss on current season harvest
The accounting policies of the group require honey to be valued at fair value at
harvest date. The group has made an assessment of the fair value of honey taking
into account the value of the unique Manuka factor (UMF) rating of the new harvest.
The value of the honey at harvest on 31 March has been determined at $6.94m. The
total cost to produce the 380 tonnes of honey in the year to 31 March 2022 was
$8.09m. As a result, a write down of $1.1m has been recorded as a non-operating
item in the financial statements. The honey inventory will increase in value over
time and any financial benefit of that growth will be recorded in gross margin as the
honey is sold.
o Write-down of assets due to closure of Beekeeping Branches.
As a result of the decision to close the three Beekeeping branches, assets with a
carrying value of $1.4m have been identified as assets available for sale. An amount
of $566k has been recorded as a non operating cost being the estimated loss on sale
of these assets.
o Inventory Valuation adjustment
The original carrying value of honey inventory is $18.6m after adjusting for the value
of the 2022 harvest. The group has created provisions of $3m in respect to inventory
on hand at acquisition date to provide for risks in realising the carrying value of
acquisition honey inventory. The carrying value of honey inventory at 31 March has
been recorded as $15.6m.
Summary of the 2022 year and opportunities into 2023.
During the financial year to 31 March 2022 the group focused on the integration of the King Honey
business into the wider Me Today group. At the same time the company continued to execute the
Invest and Grow strategy set up to foster growth of the Me Today brand. Importance was also
3
placed on nurturing existing King Honey customer relationships whilst growing new ones. Locally and
globally opportunities in the growing health and wellness spaces have developed. The landscape has
been more difficult due to COVID-19 challenges impacting supply chain and overseas travel.
The group now operates in 3 clear health and wellness categories:
1. Manuka Honey
2. Supplements
3. Skincare
Strong commercial relationships are developing with new customers across each of these 3
categories.
The largest opportunity the group has is with Bee+ through Access Corporate Group (ACG) & its
brand management division Access Brand Management (ABM). ABM and the Me Today Group
jointly own the Bee+ Manuka Honey brand. ABM continues to sell through its high levels of Bee+
inventory and the group continues to closely work with ABM to maximize the opportunities that
their network offers. Discussions are ongoing with ACG in respect to sales plans and market
opportunities into 2023 and beyond. The opening of borders enabling face to face meetings is
making it easier to develop a strong partnership for the future.
In addition to the ACG and the Bee+ brand relationship the group has continued to build new
Manuka Honey opportunities through group owned Brands Me Today and SuperLife. The multi
brand portfolio being created provides opportunity for synergy in engaging distributors, sales force
and marketing agencies internationally.
The SuperLife brand has now launched within both NZ and international markets.
• SuperLife is available in selected SuperDrug stores in the UK and on SuperDrug online.
• SuperLife launched in NZ across selected Pharmacy and Pak n Save stores.
• SuperLife is available through SuperLifeManuka.co.nz and SuperLifeManuka.co.uk and on
Amazon.co.uk.
• The German opportunity for SuperLife is still progressing with product now expected to ship
in July 2022.
• The UK and Irish markets continue to show interest in the SuperLife brand with the product
launching into John Bell & Croydon in London in June 2022.
• In Switzerland the Group has signed an agreement with a partner to distribute Me Today
supplements and skincare as well as SuperLife Manuka Honey.
Me Today continues to expand internationally with Me Today now available in New Zealand,
Australia, Japan, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.
• In New Zealand Me Today has continued to grow its retail footprint and is now available in
selected Unichem and Life Pharmacy stores, selected independent Pharmacy stores, Chemist
Warehouse, Bargain Chemist, and various online retailers. As of May 2022, a selection of Me
Today supplements have been ranged in 190 Countdown stores New Zealand wide, further
strengthening the presence of Me Today in the New Zealand market.
• In Australia Me Today launched nine TGA approved supplements and eleven skincare
products into Adore Beauty’s Australian and New Zealand websites late 2021 with two other
online platforms ranging Me Today in 2022.
4
• The UK and Irish markets continue to show interest in the Me Today brand with
Supplements and Skincare launching into John Bell & Croydon alongside SuperLife in May
2022. Me Today is now in over 100 retail stores in Ireland including selected pharmacy
outlets, online and through Chemist Warehouse Ireland stores. Me Today launched into
Dunnes Stores in April 2022 and has signed an agreement to launch 12 Skincare SKUs into
Tesco supermarkets in June 2022.
• In Japan and in partnership with Mash Beauty Co Lab, Me Today has launched a range of Me
Today skincare into Mash Beauty’s Biople stores across Japan. Mash Beauty introduced the
brand at its Biople Fes in October 2021 to media and influencers with the brand being well
received. Mash has also indicated that Me Today will roll out to its Cosme Kitchen stores in
2022. A pipeline of NPD is being developed for the Japanese market across all key
categories.
• Me Today has signed an agreement with a distributor and launched a range of Skincare into
retail and online in Romania and Hungary in May 2022. The distributor has also agreed to
distribute SuperLife.
• In other parts of Europe, the group is progressing discussions around distribution of Me
Today and SuperLife products in Sweden, Finland, Italy, Austria, France and Poland.
• The Group also sees the USA as an opportunity with a strategic focus to drive branded
presence in market through online and retail across Supplements, Skincare and Manuka
Honey. The Group has employed a senior sales manager to work directly with potential key
partners in market. A pipeline of product has been through initial regulatory review with
launch into market late 2022/ early 2023.
As borders open, the group expects to see more interest in its products from global travellers. The
opening up of the Duty-Free channel and the Tourism channel will bring revived demand from an
area of retail that was strong for King Honey prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The opportunity now
exists across Me Today, SuperLife and BEE+.
At Me Today our group mission is “To produce world leading products that support people to
manage their overall health and wellness”. We believe we will do this “by formulating,
manufacturing and marketing desirable consumer products that help people to live better lives
daily”.

Condensed Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the twelve months ended 31 March 2022

1. General information
Me Today Limited (‘MTL’ or ‘the Company’) is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in
New Zealand.
The Company has recently changed its annual reporting date to 30 June and, as a result of the change,
will prepare full audited consolidated financial statements for the 15 months ended 30 June 2022. Due to
the change in reporting date the Company has prepared these unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements for the 12 months ended 31 March 2022.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented are for Me Today Limited and its
subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’). Details of subsidiary companies and their principal activities are set out
in note 18.
The Group produces, sells, and markets health and wellbeing products or act as an agent on behalf of
other health and wellbeing suppliers. With the acquisition of King Honey Limited (‘King Honey’) on 30 June
2021 the Group also produces premium manuka honey.
2. Basis of preparation
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the 12 months ended 31 March
2022 have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (‘NZ
GAAP’), with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial
Reporting (‘NZ IAS 34’), with International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (‘IAS 34’),
and with the requirements on the NZX Listing Rules.
Me Today Limited is a company registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is an FMC reporting entity
under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is listed on the NZX Main Board.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the notes of the type
normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements included in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2021 which have been
prepared in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘NZ
IFRS’) and International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars which is
the Company’s functional and presentation currency, rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The comparative information for
the year ended 31 March 2021 is audited.
2.1. Basis of measurement
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis,
except for biological assets which are measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair
value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
2.2. Impact of COVID-19
The international and domestic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the extended lockdown and other
restrictions in Auckland and the rest of New Zealand since 17 August 2021, and the recent lockdowns in
China, have impacted the Group’s performance during the interim period. While the Group has continued
to make significant progress, the restrictions on retail during lockdown and other restrictions and the lack
of tourists to New Zealand have reduced domestic sales, and the ongoing closure of New Zealand’s
borders have slowed the Group’s ability to develop international markets and interact with existing
customers.
King Honey’s most important customer relationship currently is the partnership relating to the Bee+ brand.
This brand is well established in the Chinese market with an extensive reach created by the brand
principal and distribution partner. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in China, including lockdowns,
has impacted on the volume of sales through this distribution partner, which have been significantly lower
Me Today Limited
Condensed Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the twelve months ended 31 March 2022
8
than expected (refer to note 17.2). The reduced level of sales through this distribution partner has been a
key consideration in the Group’s decision to downsize its beekeeping operations (refer note 23.1). The
financial impact of the downsizing, the assessed impairment in goodwill (refer note 17.5) and the
requirements during the period for additional working capital, are all linked to this underperformance of
Bee+ distribution in the Chinese market.
The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on trade receivables.
2.3. Going concern
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
assumes that the Group has the intention and ability to continue its operations for the foreseeable future.
The Group incurred a loss of $17.8 million in the 12 months to 31 March 2022 (12 months to 31 March
2021: $2.86 million loss). The Group’s net cash outflows from operating activities during the 12 months
was $9.6 million (2021: $3.3 million). At reporting date the Group had cash of $1.1 million (2021: $1.2
million), working capital of $16.6 million (2021: $5.7 million) and net assets of $19.1 million (2021: $5.9
million). The Group had bank loans of $7.3 million (2021: nil) and $5.15 million was payable to the
previous owners of King Honey under a subordinated note (2021: nil).
The considered view of the Board is that, after making due enquiries and considering relevant factors,
there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will have access to adequate resources and
commitments from its borrowers and support from shareholders (discussed below), that will enable it to
meet its financial obligations for the foreseeable future.
For this reason, the Board considers the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing the unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the 12 months ended 31 March 2022 to be
appropriate. The Board has reached this conclusion having regard to circumstances which it considers
likely to affect the Group during the period of at least one year from the date of approval of these interim
consolidated financial statements, and to circumstances which it considers will occur after that date which
will affect the validity of the going concern basis.
The Directors are satisfied, based on their review of the Group’s current financial forecasts, that, during
the 12 months after the date of signing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, there
will be adequate cash flows available to meet the financial obligations of the Group as they arise. This
consideration is made with reference to the following events:
On 29 November 2021 the Company announced subject to shareholder approval, and on 22 March 2022
following shareholder approval completed, a placement of $6 million through the issue of 68,181,818 fully
paid ordinary shares to assist the Group meet its operational and working capital funding requirements
including the repayment of its bank overdraft.
On 29 May 2022, the Board decided to undertake a further capital raise of up to $10 million. The capital
raise is expected to be completed by 30 June 2022. The Company’s largest shareholder, MTL Securities
Limited, has agreed to apply for $4.2 million of new shares (comprising its $3.4 million entitlement and the
balance as oversubscriptions).
The Group’s banker, Bank of New Zealand, has confirmed that it will keep the Group’s existing bank
facilities in place (refer note 15) on the basis of MTL Securities Limited’s shareholder support. The bank
has agreed to a 12-month amortisation relief period with a six-month review. The Group currently has
available overdraft facilities of $5 million to support seasonal operating cash flows.
Strong commercial relationships are developing with new customers. Me Today continues to expand
internationally with Me Today now available in New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Ireland, and the United
Kingdom. The SuperLife brand has now launched within both New Zealand and international markets.

3. Changes in Significant Accounting Policies
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting
policies and methods of computation detailed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year
ended 31 March 2021, except for the new additional accounting policies detailed below which have been
implemented in response to the acquisition of King Honey. For details of the accounting policies for the
year ended 31 March 2021 please refer to the 2021 Annual Report.
3.1. Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred
in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date
fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of
the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree.
Acquisition related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their
fair value at the acquisition date, except that deferred tax assets or liabilities, and liabilities related to
employee benefit arrangements, are recognised and measured in accordance with NZ IAS 12 Income
Taxes and NZ IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred over the net of the
acquisition‑date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in
which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the
accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period or
additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and
circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts
recognised as of that date. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional
information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition
date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
3.2. Goodwill
Goodwill that arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and other business combinations is measured at
cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment
testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash‑generating units (or groups of cash‑generating
units) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash‑generating units to which goodwill
has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that
the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash‑generating unit is less than the carrying
amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill
allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro‑rata on the basis of the carrying amount of
each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
3.3. Inventories
The deemed cost for the Group’s agricultural produce (honey) inventory is fair value at harvest less
estimated point-of-sale costs. Fair value is determined by reference to market prices for honey. Point-of-
sale costs include all costs that would be necessary to sell the assets.
3.4. Biological assets
Biological assets consist of bees (including queens).
Biological assets are measured at fair value less point-of-sale costs, with any change therein recognised
in the profit or loss. Point-of-sale costs include all costs that would be necessary to sell the assets. The fair
value of biological assets is assessed on an annual basis post-harvest, which involves reviewing the
number of operational hives in use and referencing market prices for hives.

Condensed Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

3.5. Biological work in progress
Biological work in progress consists of unharvested honey.
Biological assets are measured at fair value less point-of-sale costs, with any change therein recognised
in the profit or loss. Point-of-sale costs include all costs that would be necessary to sell the assets.
Agricultural produce (honey) from biological assets is transferred to inventory at fair value, by reference to
market prices for honey less estimated point-of-sale costs, at the date of harvest. The biological work in
progress is transferred to inventory as part of this fair value recognition at each harvest, which occurs at
least annually.
The growth in the biological work in progress in the period from the 2021 harvest to 30 June 2021 (the
date of acquisition of King Honey) could not be reliably measured at fair value due to the variables in hive
growth and honey production between 1 April 2021 and the acquisition date. Therefore, as required under
NZ IAS 41, the cost of agricultural activity (beekeeping costs) in the pre-acquisition period to 30 June 2021
was capitalised and recognised as the value of biological work in progress at acquisition date (refer note
17.1).
At 31 March 2022 the biological work in progress could be reliably measured at fair value as all honey had
been harvested and tested. At that point the total biological work in progress asset was recognised as
inventory. An unrealised loss on honey harvest was recognised in the loss for the period (refer note 13).
3.6. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values, over their useful
lives using the diminishing value method. The following depreciation rates are used in the calculation:
Plant, vehicles and equipment 6% - 67%
Office equipment and furniture 10% - 50%
Leasehold improvements 6% - 25%
3.7. Assets held for sale
Non‑current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value
less costs to sell. Non‑current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be
recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met
only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition.
The Group must be committed to the sale which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a
completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

6.1. Seasonal and cyclical influences
The Group’s honey production operations have seasonal influences. Over winter, hives are downsized
and operating costs are primarily spent on maintaining hives and operations. Honey production occurs
from early spring to late summer with the majority of honey harvest occurring from January to March.
Operating costs increase during the honey production and harvest months. Beekeeping costs are deferred
and recognised as biological work in progress up until harvest, at which point they are transferred to
inventory. Sales of honey occur throughout the year and the cost of honey sold is recognised at the same
time.
There are no seasonal or cyclical influences on the sale of goods or agency services operations.
7. Earnings per share
At 31 March 2022, there were no financial instruments that carried any shareholder dilution rights that
were considered to be dilutive (2021: none). The 3,000,000 share options on issue where not considered
to be dilutive due to the Group’s loss.

12. Biological assets
The bees biological assets consist of Hives and Nucs.
The Group is exposed to some risks related to owning bees, primarily the risk of damage from climatic
changes and diseases. The Group has processes in place aimed at monitoring and mitigating those risks,
through hiring of experienced beekeepers, the intensive maintenance of beehives and disease prevention
programmes.
Fair value hierarchy
The Group’s bees are level 3 on the fair value hierarchy, being calculations for which inputs are not based
on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Group has valued the biological assets based on market sales price information and the Group’s own
sales of hives and queens.

The CARL facility monthly repayments consist of a fixed principal repayment plus interest based on a
floating rate that is adjusted monthly. The average interest on the CARL facility rate during the reporting
period was 3.91%. Interest on the fixed rate loan is fixed at 2.51% and the loan is repaid by 60 monthly
instalments over the term of the loan.
Under the terms of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of King Honey it was agreed that
$5,000,000 of the purchase price would be left payable to the vendors as a subordinated note (refer note
17). The subordinated loan is repayable in three years from the acquisition date of 30 June 2021 with
interest of 4% payable annually in arrears. The note is secured over all property of Me Today Manuka
Honey Limited. This security interested ranks behind any security interest in favour of the Bank of New
Zealand pursuant to the bank loan agreements noted above, but ahead of any other indebtedness of Me
Today Manuka Honey Limited.

17. Acquisition of subsidiaries
On 30 June 2021 Me Today Manuka Honey Limited, a subsidiary of Me Today Limited, acquired 100% of
the issued share capital of King Honey Limited (‘King Honey’) thereby obtaining control of King Honey and
its subsidiaries, Pure Manuka NZ Limited, Bee Plus Manuka NZ Limited, Manuka Wellness Limited and
King Honey Health Products Limited. King Honey is one of New Zealand’s premium Manuka Honey
producers. Its subsidiaries are all non-trading. The King Honey business complements the Me Today
brand and the acquisition enables Me Today to expand its existing lifestyle, health and wellness
businesses.
17.1. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition
The amounts recognised in respect of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as at the
date of acquisition are as set out in the table below.
The fair value of the 113,636,364 ordinary shares issued as part of the consideration paid for King Honey
($10 million) was determined on the basis of the agreement between the parties supported by an
independent appraisal.
Acquisition related costs amounted to $0.37 million.
17.2. Provisional accounting for the acquisition
The initial accounting for the acquisition of King Honey has only been provisionally determined during the
reporting period.
Since the Group’s previous interim reporting as at 30 September 2021, the Group has received further
information about inventory, property, plant and equipment, right of use assets and lease liabilities
acquired. These acquisition balances have been updated accordingly with a corresponding adjustment to
goodwill, as set out below:

• At 30 September 2021 an initial $1 million provision for inventory obsolescence was recognised as
part of the acquisition balances. During the 6 months to 31 March 2022 the provision was increased
by a further $2 million.
• Property, plant and equipment was reduced by $0.5 million.
• Right of use assets were increased by $0.3 million and lease liabilities were increased by a
corresponding $0.3 million.
The above adjustments resulted in a corresponding $2.5 million increase in the initial goodwill arising on
acquisition (prior to the assessment of impairment) compared to the goodwill recognised in the 30
September 2021 interim consolidated financial statements.
The acquisition accounting is expected to be finalised by the next reporting date, and this may impact the
fair value of net assets acquired. Potentially of most impact is the recognition of identifiable intangible
assets. For King Honey the most important customer relationship currently is the partnership relating to
the Bee+ brand. This brand is well established in the Chinese market with an extensive reach. Sales by
the King Honey business through the Bee+ distribution partner have been significantly lower than
expected. Until further discussions and investigations are completed, Me Today is unable to determine the
fair value of these distribution and customer agreements and accordingly is unable to recognise the
related identifiable intangible assets at this time (refer note 17.5 re assessment of impairment in
intangibles assets on acquired).
17.3. Trading transactions
During the period, and prior to acquisition, the Group had no transactions with King Honey. Following the
acquisition of King Honey, transactions and balances due between companies in the Group have been
eliminated on consolidation.
17.4. Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group
King Honey contributed $4.6 million revenue and $14.3 million to the Group’s loss for the period between
the date of acquisition and the reporting date.
17.5. Goodwill
The provisional goodwill arising from the acquisition of King Honey consists of distribution rights, other
recurring revenue streams and relationships, which at this time have not been fair valued and separately
identified. The goodwill also relates to expected synergies, and the capability and expertise developed
within the acquired business.

17.5.1. Impairment testing for cash-generating units containing goodwill
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash generating units (‘CGUs’)
which represent the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal
management purposes. All goodwill is currently allocated to the Honey segment.
Given the current underperformance of the Bee+ brand distribution channel (refer note 17.2), the Board
has undertaken value in use impairment testing and reviewed sensitivity analysis relating to the carrying
value of the goodwill.
The Group has considered the future cash flows arising out of the sale of Manuka Honey through the
Honey segment. As a result of the completion of discounted cashflow modelling the Board has assessed
the value of the Honey CGU as $29.0 million and has concluded that it is appropriate for the Group to
recognise a $9.9 million impairment in the value of goodwill arising from the King Honey acquisition.
Value in use was determined by discounting the future cash flows generated from the continuing use of
the CGU and were based on the following key assumptions:
Cash flows were projected on actual operating results, the 12-month budget, multi-year forecasts and
business plan.
The discount rate selected reflects the level of uncertainty in relation to the future sales through the Bee+
distribution channel.

$670,000 associated with the restructure have not been provided for in these interim consolidated
financial statements.
Under NZ IFRS the impact of the restructure is taken into account when assessing the fair value of
biological assets and the carrying values of property, plant and equipment. Also, where the Group has
now changed its view on the likely duration of leases, the values of both the related right-of-use assets
and lease liabilities have been adjusted. The Group will sell some of its hives and nucleus colonies (‘nucs’)
and these have been reclassified to assets held for sale and shown as a current asset in the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position.
23.2. Further capital raising
On 29 May 2022, the Board decided to undertake a further capital raise of up to $10 million. The capital
raise is expected to be completed by 30 June 2022. The Company’s largest shareholder, MTL Securities
Limited, has agreed to apply for $4.2 million of new shares (comprising its $3.4 million entitlement and the
balance as oversubscriptions).
