Celebrating our 10th Anniversary in 2019, Volpara remains committed to helping breast imaging centres achieve improved mammographic sensitivity and detect breast cancers earlier. Since launching VolparaDensity software in 2010, the company has pioneered a robust suite of quantitative breast imaging tools that enable personalised measurements of volumetric density, breast compression, and breast positioning on every mammogram—factors that are designed to maintain image quality and provide critical insight for breast imaging workflow.

“Lake Medical Imaging is known in the region as an innovator. We were the first practice to deploy a full range of the latest breast imaging technology, including VolparaDensity software, so we could customise annual breast screenings based on each patient’s breast density. For us, it is imperative that we continue our leadership role in creating and maintaining a culture that uses the best methods and advances our field has to offer while always treating our patients and employees like family.” —Dr Cathrine Keller, Lake Medical Imaging

“I can’t see how a large and busy practice in breast imaging can meaningfully meet quality assurance without VolparaEnterprise.”—Robin Shermis, MD, MPH, ProMedica

“Our work demonstrates that use of an automated, objective assessment tool can improve mammographic quality and positioning. Technologists that receive feedback more frequently are more likely to improve their mammography quality.” —Wendi Rader, Christiana Care, 2019 NCoBC Poster Presentation

There has never been a more exciting time for Volpara. Powered by supportive investors, a dedicated and hardworking team, and insightful leadership focused on cutting-edge clinical science, Volpara is now reaching critical mass. Building on its rapidly expanding customer base, strong revenue growth, and a capital raise that has bolstered the balance sheet, added value to our shareholders, and enabled the acquisition of MRS Systems, Inc., Volpara now has the means to significantly grow its market and advance its vision of Saving Families from Breast Cancer.

In reviewing the accomplishments of the past financial year, in casting an eye toward the plans and possibilities of the year to come, I see Volpara’s evolution as the natural consequence of several factors.

ONE

Ongoing InvestmentVolpara’s investment in both product development and the sales team has prompted strong growth. The number of VolparaEnterprise customers increased 125%, from 57 to 128, with Volpara’s Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) increasing 86% over the previous year, from NZ $3.6 million to NZ$6.63 million. Revenue from customers increased 78% year on year, with Software as a Service (SaaS) revenues increasing 109%. Volpara has proven its ability to scale its operations while generating a gross margin above 80%, achieving 83% compared to 77% the previous year.

THE NEXT STEPSVolpara has already amassed an unprecedented, ever-growing amount of data, so far analysing over 12 million images—one of the largest data sets in breast cancer research. Now, with the ability to link these mammographic images to health outcomes, Volpara is poised to change the game altogether, to harness AI in the creation of predictive risk models that go beyond the early detection of breast cancer to the next logical step: prevention.The key business structures and disciplines are now in place. Building on the pillars of investment, a receptive market, and expansion, over the next 12 months Volpara will focus on four key areas:• increasing US market share with a target of 27% and continuing to grow ARR to around US$11.5M;• integrating MRS into the Company’s operations;• investing further in research and development, bringing to market a personalised risk assessment product; and• growing the engineering team to accelerate the core functionality of VolparaDensity and VolparaEnterprise.

In working towards these goals, you can be assured that we will continue to scale the Company’s resources prudently.For their contributions to Volpara’s success, I’d like to thank the staff and fellow members of the Board, noting especially the leadership of my predecessor, Roger Allen AM, over the previous three years. Roger remains on the Board and is a significant investor in Volpara.

TWOA Changing EnvironmentAwareness of breast density as a factor in improving the early detection of breast cancer is at an all-time high. In the United States, Volpara’s main market, 38 states now have breast density notification legislation in place. At the federal level, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced draft regulations that would mandate density notification for all American women. The market is now catching up to what Volpara’s clinical science team has known all along, that assessing breast density is vital to the early detection of breast cancer, and that doing so in an automated, objective, and repeatable manner is the most effective way to amass the massive amounts of data needed to create the next-generation algorithms that will power increasingly personalised breast screening programmes.

Such a favourable climate for density assessment presents a tremendous opportunity for Volpara at a time when our VolparaDensity clinical application—already the most clinically validated automated, objective volumetric breast density assessment software—has been further validated by major studies from around the world.

| See the sidebar for a sample of these studies.

THREEExpansionVolpara has taken a big step in broadening the extent of its reach by acquiring MRS, a leading mammography information systems company based in Seattle, Washington. The addition of MRS’s 1700 breast imaging centres brings Volpara’s net total to over 2,000 sites, covering approximately 25% of US women. We anticipate that the acquisition will allow us to expand our product portfolio, support breast imaging centres with streamlined workflow and enhanced regulatory compliance, and combine our collective expertise in AI and machine learning to develop new technologies that optimise breast screening.

Behind the acquisition was Volpara’s successful capital raise of A$55 million, where the institutional placement exceeded the demand. Our mix of retail and global institutional support remains robust, hailing from not only Australia and New Zealand but also the United States, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. Thank you to Bell Potter and Morgans for their help in raising that money.

Breast density has featured in numerous major studies from around the world. A selection of recent papers:

The New England Journal of MedicineUniversity of California, San FranciscoDr Kerlikowske identified how increased breast density has been shown to be associated with a risk of breast cancer that is four to six times greater than in women with the lowest density quartile range at a similar age.

Breast Cancer ResearchItalyDr Puliti discussed VolparaDensity’s correlation of the incidence of breast cancer with volumetric breast density, showing that accurate assessment of breast density is important in breast screening effectiveness. RadiologyUniversity of PennsylvaniaDr Gastounioti identified that visual assessment of breast density when using visual Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) with digital breast tomography (DBT) and synthetic mammography screening modalities tended to underestimate breast density with effects that also varied between ethnicity and body mass index. The findings have direct implications for personalised, supplemental screening, which require accurate, unbiased breast density assessment.

The Journal of Breast ImagingUnited Kingdom/University of Virginia Dr Brentnall validated the importance of including breast density as a risk factor in the Tyrer-Cuzick breast cancer risk assessment model. The inclusion of breast density was shown to stratify risk accurately in US women, with VolparaDensity automated volumetric density measures, which have excellent MRI agreement, found to have a practical advantage over BI-RADS in a clinical setting.

Finally, I thank you, our shareholders, for joining us in meeting our opportunity and responsibility.

CEO’s Letter Dear Shareholders, FY2019 was a very pleasing year for Volpara for many reasons, not least the growth in ARR and continuing support from shareholders. These set the groundwork that allowed us to acquire MRS Systems, Inc., and thus attain critical mass in the all-important US breast cancer screening market.

Key SaaS metrics to end FY2019 were the following: • Annual Recurring Revenue rose from NZ$3.6M to NZ$6.63M, an increase of 86%. • Total Contract Value signed rose from NZ$11.2M to NZ$15.8M, an increase of 41%.

These translated to the following traditional accounting metrics: • Accounting revenue from customers rose from NZ$2.8M to NZ$5.0M, an increase of 78%. • Gross margin rose from 77% to 83%. • Net loss rose from NZ$8.8M to NZ$11.7M, an increase of 33%, reflecting increased expenses associated with expansion of both the US sales team, to capitalise on open leads, and the Wellington engineering team, to propel product innovation.

Where did this strong growth come from? The sales in FY2019, as in previous years, came predominately from the United States, with over 84% of revenue. The US market remains our big focus and was one of the driving reasons behind the recent MRS acquisition, which will give us a mature and stable US headquarters along with excellent technology and outstanding people in installation, training, and onboarding. The recent acquisition and associated raise are also enabling us to further build out our US direct sales team. Now they will also have MRS products in their tool kit, which should see Volpara’s average revenue per user (ARPU) increase and sales productivity multiply.

Big US wins during the year included Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Seattle-based Swedish Health Services. In our recent press release on the last deal, Karen McInerney, R.T.(R)(M), Director for the Swedish Breast Care Network, commented on their use of VolparaEnterprise:

“The driving force behind our decision to implement the VolparaEnterprise software was the vast amount of data analytics it would provide to us. This data, especially the image quality metrics, will be a tremendous tool in both our quality improvement and operational efficiency efforts.”

Such a statement is of double importance since Swedish is part of the Providence Integrated Delivery Network (IDN); when the luminary is happy, the rest of the network is more likely to participate.

I’d like to thank our US sales team, managers, and Chief Commercial Officer Mark Koeniguer for getting us the traction we needed to get us to 7% of women screened in the United States and laying the groundwork for success in the coming years.

Though our primary focus is the United States, we retain a global perspective. In Australia, our deal with I-MED Radiology Network will likely add over 85 clinics across Australia, and after signing another major hospital in Adelaide we now cover most of that region. Additionally, we are progressing well with the state-wide screening programs and getting traction across Australia: Women’s & Breast Imaging and Royal Perth Hospital in Perth; the Wesley Hospital in Brisbane; Alfred/Mater Imaging in Sydney; and Imaging Associates, Royal Melbourne Hospital, and MIA Radiology in Melbourne. In New Zealand, most of the private clinics in Auckland (Mercy Breast Clinic, Mercy Radiology, St Marks Breast Centre, and Auckland Breast Centre) now report breast density, and BreastScreen Aotearoa Central uses VolparaEnterprise at their Hutt Hospital site to record and improve quality. In Asia, we continue to win sales in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, though progress remains relatively slow compared to elsewhere in the world.

For their outstanding efforts in APAC this year, I’d like to thank Anton Zerle, Paul Clancy, and Kylie Chandler. We look forward to announcing major new deals shortly.

Europe is dominated by the population screening programs that still seek randomised controlled trials before they change practice, but we continue to pick up individual sales. As per our announcements, Project DENSE from the Netherlands is one such trial whose publication we greatly look forward to. PROCAS II, the UK trial in the Manchester region, continues to run and has seen patients having their risk assessed, though the trial’s start was delayed due to privacy regulations. Researchers in Norway continue to publish a range of papers on Volpara ranging from density to compression pressure.

RMore recently, we’ve started to push through the GDPR barriers at multiple sites around Italy, recently setting up our first VolparaEnterprise customer at a public screening site.

For their efforts in Europe this year, I’d like to thank Chris Tromans, Pete Edwards, Penny Gibson, Melissa Hill, and Vincenzo La Bella.

Beyond sales, Volpara’s products are as well-received as ever. VolparaDensity continues to get excellent publications, including one by Brentnall et al. showing that VolparaDensity matched a world expert in density assessment within the Tyrer-Cuzick v8 breast cancer risk software. VolparaEnterprise continues to garner case studies and ever-strong return-on-investment stories. And the VolparaLive! system has seen multiple quotes starting to convert to sales. These products are going to get much stronger with the addition of MRS. Specifically, we can now

• access the name of the radiologist who read the images, allowing that name to go into VolparaEnterprise ready for the FDA EQUIP audit and signifying a much more convenient solution for the customer;

• sell not just VolparaDensity, but also Tyrer-Cuzick v8 software itself as a discrete product, raising ARPU and letting us address what’s clearly a massive unmet clinical need;

• pass information from VolparaLive! to VolparaDensity so the radiologist can see whether the woman was difficult for the radiographer to position during the mammographic exam. For example, did she have a frozen shoulder? was she in a wheelchair?

Our products have also received a boost in the form of Matt Prickett, who joined Volpara in January as Product Management Lead. Already he has done an outstanding job of getting processes in place, collating ideas, and putting structure around those ideas. He’s now building a strong product team in Wellington, tightly linked to Richard Hudson’s engineering team, which has performed well across multiple releases over the last year.

Product-wise, there have been interesting challenges over the last year, most notably because much of our work is to make subjective scores objective, and people’s perceptions of density and quality have changed markedly over the last few years. Just two years ago, density was all about making sure you get the a-b/c-d threshold right, but now radiologists want to get each individual category correct—a/b/c/d—as they enter the scores into risk models. One paper this year showed that a new form of image processing (C-view from an x-ray vendor) managed to reduce the visual perception of breast density in 40% of cases! Objective, science-based scoring is sorely needed, and that is exactly what Volpara will continue to provide.

Finally, many thanks to Craig Hadfield and others who helped in our recent fundraising. The amount of paperwork and intense effort required by both the due diligence process and the acquisition itself is staggering. I believe it shows how we’ve progressed as company that we can now acquire companies, raise money, finish the FY reports, and keep selling and developing product all at the same time.

And, of course, our focus now is on having a very successful merger and future with MRS.

Many thanks to you, and to Bell Potter and Morgans, for continuing to support the Company and believe in our mission.

Yours sincerely,

Ralph Highnam, PhD

Operating results for the year Statutory results Below are some of the key statutory results which have been summarised. The total revenue from contracts with customers and SaaS-only revenue both show how the Group continues to gain traction with the SaaS revenue model. The 109% increase in SaaS-only revenue has been driven by the sale of VolparaEnterprise, which, together with VolparaDensity, is now in use by more than 7% of the US breast screening market. Volpara’s net loss after tax increased as planned by 33% compared to FY18 as a result of increased expenses during the year associated with expansion of both the US sales team, to capitalise on open leads, and the Wellington engineering team, to continue to drive innovation with existing and new products.

2019 2018 $ Variance VarianceNZ$000 NZ$000 NZ$000 %

Capital sales 581 575 6 1%

Total revenue 5,000 2,812 2,188 78%

Net loss after tax (11,741) (8,818) (2,923) 33%

SaaS metrics Volpara ended the year with ARR of NZ$6.63M and Total Contract Value (TCV) signed in FY19 of NZ$15.8M, an increase of 86% and 41%, respectively, over FY18.

It is important to distinguish these metrics from some of the statutory results seen in the notes to the financial statements. Deferred revenue per note 4 shows NZ$2.2M vs. NZ$934K in FY18. Although the Group has ARR of NZ$6.63M, the deferred revenue represents only that portion of the ARR that has not already been recognised as revenue but which has already been invoiced; i.e., there are amounts for which the Group has not earned as the Group has not yet delivered on the performance obligations, and these amounts will not be reflected in either the revenue or deferred revenue numbers.

Similarly, TCV represents the total dollar value of deals signed by the Group for contracts ranging in length from 12 months to five years. Those periods also represent the period over which the revenue for the contracts will be recognised. These deals are cancellable, which makes Volpara’s job of customer satisfaction that much more important, to ensure churn rates are kept to a minimum.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Company successfully raised A$45M through the issue of 30 million shares at A$1.50 from a placement to existing and new institutional investors, and a further A$10M from an accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer to existing shareholders through the issue of 6,666,666 shares at A$1.50 per share.

Subsequent to, and in conjunction with, the placement, the Company acquired MRS, a mammography information systems company based in Seattle, Washington, for US$14.59M.

Likely developments and expected results of operations Over the course of the 2019 financial year, Volpara continued to gain customers at an increasing rate; the number of customers using VolparaEnterprise, for example, increased from 57 to 128 (up 125%) and ARR increased as discussed above. As a result of this growth, revenue from customers has increased 78% year on year, with SaaS revenues increasing 109%.

2020 is shaping up to be a defining year in Volpara’s journey, with a successful capital raise and the acquisition of MRS already having been completed. First and foremost, we will continue to focus on increasing our market share with our existing and new products, with stated goals of achieving 27% of the US breast screening market and increasing ARR to US$11.5M. Second, if not more important, we will look to integrate Volpara and MRS to begin realising the many benefits of the combined Group: an increase in data volume, new cross-selling opportunities, an expanded product portfolio, combined resources, and ever more capability in the areas of compliance and quality.

Dividends paid or recommended No dividends have been paid or declared for payment during the financial year.

Diversity policy The Group is not affected by any significant environmental regulation in respect of its operations.

Environmental issues The Company has adopted a Diversity Policy, which includes the requirement for the Board or a relevant committee of the Board to set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and to assess annually both the objectives and the Company’s progress in achieving them. However, due to the stage of development and the relatively small number of employees (compared to others listed on the ASX), the Board did not set objectives for diversity for the past financial year. As the Company moves closer to achieving its commercialisation goals and increases its number of employees, it will reexamine its approach in this regard.

There were six men and one woman on the Board during the 2019 financial year. One Director was replaced on the Board during the 2019 financial year.

As at the date of this Annual Report, the proportion of women in the Company as a percentage of its total employees was 29 out of 82, or 35.4%. The proportion of women as a total of the senior executive positions (not including the CEO) is 2 out of 5, or 40%. For this purpose, senior executives are members of management who report directly to the CEO.

Indemnifying officers During or since the end of the financial year, the Company has given an indemnity, entered into an agreement to indemnify, or paid or agreed to pay insurance premiums as follows:

The Company has entered into deeds of indemnity with each of the Directors in accordance with the constitution, under which the Company indemnifies each Director against:

(i) costs incurred by the Director in any proceeding that relates to liability for any act or omission made by the Director as an officer of the Company and in which judgment is given in the Director’s favour or in which the Director is acquitted or which is discontinued;

(ii) any liability to any third party for any act or omission by the Director as an officer of the Company; and

(iii) any costs incurred by the Director in defending or settling any claim or proceeding to any costs or liability of the nature referred to in (i) and (ii).

The Company has paid premiums to insure each of the Directors against liabilities for costs and expenses incurred by them in defending legal proceedings arising from their conduct while acting in the capacity of Directors of the Company, other than conduct involving a wilful breach of duty in relation to the Company.

Unissued shares As at 31 March 2019, there were 12.412M unissued ordinary shares under employee share options. Refer to the remuneration report and note 13 of the financial report for further details of the employee options outstanding.

Share options There were ordinary shares of Volpara Health Technologies Ltd issued during the year ended 31 March 2019 on the exercise of options granted under the Legacy Employee Share Option Plan (LESOP).

For the purposes of this report, key management personnel (KMP) of the Group are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether Executive or otherwise) of the Parent company.

For the purposes of this report, the term “Executive” encompasses the Chief Executive and other senior Executives of the Parent and the Group.

Remuneration philosophyThe performance of Volpara is dependent upon the quality of its Directors and senior Executives. Given the developing nature of Volpara, the remuneration policy must reflect the need to attract, motivate, and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives.

To this end, the Group embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:

• Provide competitive rewards to attract high-quality Executives; • Provide an equity incentive for senior Executives that will highly motivate them and align their motivation with creation

of shareholder value; and• Ensure that rewards are referenced to relevant employment market conditions.

Remuneration structureThe Board of Directors (the “Board”) determined to establish a Remuneration Committee during the 2019 financial year. The Remuneration Committee was formally established on 28 March 2019. The Remuneration Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on the remuneration arrangements for each of the Non-Executive Directors, Executive Directors and Chief Executive Officer and senior Executives.

The Remuneration Committee periodically assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of Executive remuneration by reference to relevant employment market conditions. Where appropriate the Remuneration Committee may engage external consultants to provide independent advice.

As of the date of this report the Remuneration Committee comprises the following Non-Executive Directors: - John Diddams (Chair) - Roger Allen - Paul Reid

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and senior Executive remuneration is separate and distinct.

Non-Executive Director remuneration policy Objective The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, while incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure It has been resolved that the total aggregate amount to be paid to the Directors (excluding any Executive Director) is NZ$500,000 per annum. Under the ASX Listing Rules, any increase to that aggregate annual amount will need to be approved by Shareholders. The Company does not utilise that full amount based on its current Board of Directors.

In addition to their annual remuneration, the Directors may also be reimbursed for expenses properly incurred by the Directors in connection with the affairs of the Company, including travel and other expenses. There are no retirement benefit schemes for Non-Executive Directors. Non-Executive Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company. The Non-Executive Directors also participate in the employee share option plans of the Company, which are not linked to performance.

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the year ended 31 March 2019 is detailed later in this report.

Executive remuneration policy and framework Objective

The Company aims to reward Executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company. The objective of the remuneration policy is to:

• reward Executives for company and individual performance;• align the interests of the Executives with those of the shareholders;• ensure that total remuneration is competitive by market standards; and• provide an incentive to achieve or exceed budget expectations.

Structure In determining the level and makeup of Executive remuneration, the Board has reviewed reports detailing market levels of remuneration for comparable roles.

Remuneration consists of fixed and variable elements, with the variable component broken down further into short- and long-term incentives.

Base salary and benefits Objective The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board; the process consists of a review of company-wide and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration from external sources and relevant comparison between roles within the company. As noted above, the Board draws on relevant industry remuneration data.

Structure Executives receive their fixed remuneration as a salary payment.

Short-term incentives (STI) Objective The objective of the STI is to link the achievement of the Company’s operational targets with the remuneration received by the Executives charged with meeting those targets.

Structure Actual STI payments granted to each Executive depend on the extent to which specific targets set at the beginning of the financial year are met. The targets consist of a number of key performance indicators (KPIs) covering both financial and non-financial, corporate and individual measures of performance. Typically included are measures such as sales growth, process improvement, product development and overall contribution.

The aggregate pool of potential STI payments has been approved by the Board.

Long-term incentives (LTI) Objective

The objective of the LTI plan is to reward Executives in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. They are not, however, linked to performance of the individual.

Structure LTI grants to Executives are delivered in the form of options.

General employee share option plans (ESOP)Volpara currently has two ESOPs, a Legacy ESOP and a New ESOP.

Holders of options under ESOPsLegacy ESOPs New ESOPs

John Pavlidis Dr Ralph Highnam

Mark Koeniguer Craig Hadfield

Lyn Swinburne Roger Allen

Mike Brady

Mark Koeniguer

Paul Reid

Dr Monica Saini

Under normal conditions, for the New ESOPs, 40 percent of the options are exercisable on the second anniversary of the grant date. The remaining 60 percent of the options are exercisable in three tranches every 12 months thereafter. The Legacy ESOPs vest on a straight-line basis over a period of time, ranging from monthly over a few years to yearly over a few years. All Legacy ESOPs are now fully vested.

Should a Director (Executive or Non-Executive) or senior Executive cease to be employed by Volpara, then all options which have not yet vested will automatically lapse, unless the Board determines otherwise. Any options that have vested with that person must be exercised within 60 days of ceasing employment or those vested options will also lapse, unless the Board determines otherwise.

The exercise price of the options is determined relative to the prevailing market price of Volpara’s shares as at the date of the issue. Options are usually issued at the higher of the 30-day VWAP (volume-weighted average price) and share price achieved at the last capital-raising event.

Historically, the options have had an exercise period of between five and 10 years from the date of issue; however, all issues of options under the New ESOP since March 2016 have an exercise period of seven years, and at any time during that period the Executive can decide to exercise any vested options.

Employment contracts CEO

Dr Ralph Highnam is employed by the Company in the role of both Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director. Under the terms of his contract:

• Dr Highnam is entitled to a base salary and benefits plus short-term and long-term incentives.

• Dr Highnam does not receive any additional payments for performance of his role as an Executive Director on the Board.

• Either the Company or Dr Highnam may terminate the employment by providing three months’ written notice.

• Dr Highnam’s remuneration and performance may be reviewed at the Company’s discretion.

• The Company may terminate Dr Highnam’s employment immediately for serious misconduct. Dr Highnam may under certain circumstances be subject to a post-employment restraint for a period of up to three months.

• Upon termination, any options that are vested may be exercised by Dr Highnam within a 60-day period. Any options that are unvested, or any vested options not exercised within 60 days of termination of the employment contract, will be forfeited, unless the Board determines otherwise.

Employment contracts (continued)KMPAll Executives have rolling contracts. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment agreement by providing written notice or providing payment in lieu of the notice period (based on the fixed component of the Executive’s remuneration). The notice period is determined by the employment agreement for each Executive and can vary from 30 to 90 days. On termination or notice by the Company, any LTI options that have vested or that will vest during the notice period will be released, subject to the standard exercise criteria, unless the Board determines otherwise. LTI options that have not yet vested will be forfeited. The Company may terminate the contract at any time without notice if serious misconduct has occurred. Where termination with cause occurs, the Executive is entitled only to that portion of remuneration that is fixed, and only up to the date of termination. On termination with cause, any unvested options will immediately be forfeited, unless the Board determines otherwise.

Share-based compensation Remuneration options: granted and vested during the year During the financial year, options were granted as equity compensation benefits to certain key management personnel. The options were issued for $nil consideration. Each option entitles the holder to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary share in the company at the specified exercise price. 40 percent of the options may be exercised after two years. The remaining 60 percent may be exercised in three equal tranches over the following three years. Historically options expire after five to 10 years; however, options issued since March 2016 expire after seven years. Options are calculated at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which takes account of factors including the option exercise price, the current level and volatility of the underlying share price, the risk-free interest rate, expected dividends on the underlying share, current market price of the underlying share and the expected life of the option. For further details relating to the options, refer to note 13 in the financial statements.

Corporate Information1. Corporate informationThe consolidated financial statements of Volpara Health Technologies Limited (the Company or Volpara) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) for the year ended 31 March 2019 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 23 May 2019.

Volpara (the Company and the ultimate Parent) is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand and whose shares are publicly traded. Its principal place of business and registered office is Level 7, 44 Victoria Street, Wellington Central, Wellington 6011, New Zealand.

Volpara is designated as a profit-oriented company incorporated under the Companies Act 1993 (NZCN: 2206998) and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The Company is also registered in Australia (ARBN: 609 946 867). The Company’s principal sales and services are in the medical device software industry. Information on the Group’s structure and other related party relationships of the Group is provided in note 23.

Significant Accounting Policies2.1 Basis of preparation

2.2 Basis of consolidation

2.3 Significant accounting policies

2.4 Restatement of comparatives

2.5 New and amended standards and interpretations

2.6 Going concern

2.1 Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019 have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP). They comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS), and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards as appropriate for profit-orientated entities.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities that have been measured at fair value.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, which is the Parent’s functional and presentational currency based on the fact that the majority of expenditure (including all research and development) is incurred in New Zealand. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand ($’000) except when otherwise indicated.

The consolidated financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous period.

2.2 Basis of consolidation The Group’s financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Volpara Health Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries. A subsidiary is a controlled entity over which the Group has power, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

2.3 Significant accounting policiesSignificant accounting policies, accounting estimates and judgments that summarises the measurement basis used and are relevant to the understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the accompanying notes.

a) Current versus non-current classification The Group presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when it is: • Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle • Held primarily for the purpose of trading • Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period or • Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period • All other assets are classified as non-current.

b) Foreign currencies For the purposes 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 spot exchange rates for the period. 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.

2.3 Significant accounting policies (continued)c) Impairment of non-financial assets At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss. Further disclosures relating to impairment of non-financial assets are also provided in note 22. 2.4 Restatement of comparatives To ensure consistency with the current period, comparative figures have been restated where appropriate:

An adjustment was made to ensure the correct classification of financial statement line items and in particular, ensure that cost of sales only includes expenses which are incremental in deriving additional revenue. The adjustment made was to reclassify $183,000 from “Cost of sales” to “Sales and marketing” in the Consolidated Income Statement to accurately reflect the nature of the expenses. This involved removing fixed costs from costs of sales.

Government grants of $723,000 has been reclassified from revenue to other operating income as this is not determined to be revenue from operations. This removes it from the gross profit.

Research and development costs of $239,000 has been reclassifed from general and administration costs to product research and development costs to better reflect the nature of these expenses.

Certain balance sheet and cash flow items have been disclosed separately due to becoming material in this financial year.

2.5 New and amended standards and interpretations The Group applied NZ IFRS 9 for the first time. The nature and effect of the changes as a result of adoption of these new accounting standards are described below.

In the prior year the Group elected to early adopt NZ IFRS 16 Leases as issued in February 2016, which would otherwise be mandatorily effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The initial application date for the Group was 1 April 2017.

Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2019, but do not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group has not early adopted any standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.

NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaces NZ IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement; impairment; and hedge accounting.

With the exception of hedge accounting, which is not applicable to the Group, the Group has applied NZ IFRS 9 retrospectively, with the initial application date of 1 April 2018 and adjusting the comparative information for the period beginning 1 April 2017. The Group has however considered that the prior year effect is not material and has therefore not adjusted the prior year balances. For further information regarding the classification and measurement of effected financial assets and liabilities refer to the applicable notes to these financial statements.

2.6 Going concern The considered view of the Directors of the Group is that the going concern assumption is valid. This view has been reached after making due enquiry and having regard to the circumstances which the Directors consider will occur and those which are reasonably likely to affect the Group during the period of one year from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are approved.

The Group recorded a net loss of NZ$11.741M for the year ended 31 March 2019 (2018: NZ$8.818M) and is expected to make further losses in 2020.

Notwithstanding the above, the Group has prepared cash flow forecasts which indicate that cash on hand at year end, combined with the net cash flow as a result of operations, including those of the newly acquired business MRS Systems Inc. and, the capital raised subsequent to reporting date as per note 25, will enable the Group to continue operating as a going concern.

3. Segment informationDuring the year the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) was the Board of Directors. The Group operates in one industry, being medical device software. Consistent with prior years, the Group operates across three geographical locations—Asia Pacific (APAC); Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA); North America (United States and Canada)—and three product categories—Capital (one-off) sales, Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) contracts, and Software as a Service (SaaS) contracts. Consultancy revenues have been included in SaaS revenues on the basis that this is more reflective of its nature. The three geographic locations and three revenue streams all operate within the same industry. Operating costs, finance income, finance expenses and taxes (where applicable) are managed at an overall Group basis and as such, operating profits/(losses) by geographic location or revenue stream are not disclosed, however, additional information in respect of the geographic locations and revenue streams have been disclosed in note 4.

As at 31 March 2019 no customers accounted for more than 10% of revenue (March 2018: no customers accounted for more than 10% of revenue).

All material non-current assets are based in New Zealand.

4. Revenue from contracts with customers The Group recognises revenue from goods and services provided under three main product categories: • Capital sales contracts which involves the outright sale of software and associated items; • SMAs to support previous Capital sales; • SaaS contracts which involves the sale of software and cloud based support (and associated items).

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Group recognises revenue when control of a good or service is transferred to the customer. Refer below for more detail.

The Group has determined that no significant financing component exists in respect of the various revenue streams. This is due to there being no significant time lag between the delivery of goods or services and when payment is received. Further information about the Group’s three main product categories and related performance obligations is detailed below:

Capital Capital sales contracts involve the provision of base software, and in some cases the server hardware, density software, and in other add-on software (e.g., VolparaDoseRT, VolparaDoseSR, etc.), installation services, and training. Where these contracts involve several performance obligations, they all occur at or around the same time and as such the Group recognises revenue at a single point in time and in most cases this is usually the same time payment is due. This is usually the date that the customer has been provided with the server (where applicable) and the licence key(s), and training (where applicable) has been completed.

These contracts do not involve any variable consideration. Management considers whether revenue needs to be allocated to separate performance obligations only where significant elements of the contract remain outstanding at the reporting date (refer below for discussion on how revenue would be allocated if this were the case).

4. Revenue from contracts with customers (continued) SMAs The Group’s SMA contracts with customers also generally comprise a number of distinct performance obligations, being the provision of the software updates, upgrades, provision of ongoing technical support, IT configuration changes, etc. SMA contracts usually begin one year after the commencement of a Capital sale and contracts range in length between one and four years. SMA contracts are considered “stand-ready” performance obligations, where all elements are provided over time. Therefore revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the contract. Payment is usually due upon commencement of each year of the SMA.

Software as a Service The Group’s SaaS contracts with customers generally comprise a range of goods and services. These may include the base software (and hardware in some instances), software updates and upgrades, installation, upfront training and ongoing technical support, and role licences to access online services.

As a result, the transaction price must be allocated to the performance obligations on a relative stand-alone selling-price basis. This requires estimation because, while each separate performance obligation is identified in the contract, the contract price is set for the agreement as a whole. In the absence of comparable market prices for the various goods and services provided, the Group relies on internal information such as a master price list to determine the stand-alone selling price for each good or service. This internal information may be adjusted to reflect market conditions across the geographic locations, the nature of the customer and their expected use of the software, and other factors.

As the customer takes control of the base software (and hardware) when it is provided (when the software licence keys are provided), fixed revenue is recognised at that point in time. Upfront training and installation services are recognised over time as the services are provided. Role licences provide access to online services where the Group is required to maintain access to analytical and other information. Revenue allocated to the role licences, as well as software updates and upgrades and ongoing technical support, are recognised as the service is provided. These are predominantly “stand-ready” services which are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of service.

Contracts involve pricing based on usage of the software (mammography volumes). Revenue based on minimum volume usage is recognised on a straight-line basis over the contract life as this is in line with expected usage patterns of the minimum guarantees each year and for practicality purposes. Variations to minimum guarantees are recognised when occurred.

Most SaaS contracts are for one- to five-year terms, with a right to cancel at the end of each year without penalty. The Group’s judgement is that these are one-year contracts with a right to renew and accordingly revenue is recognised as the performance obligations are met on an annual basis.

A small number of contracts allow the customer to renew the contract at a discount to the initial price, or to obtain additional role licences or other goods and services at a discount. Where the discount is incremental to the range of discounts typically given for the goods or services, the value of the discount is determined and some revenue is allocated to this customer option known as the material right. Revenue allocated to the customer option is recognised when the subsequent discounted goods or services are provided.

Payment is usually due annually in advance either upon go-live or 45 days after the contract is signed, whichever occurs first.

There are no warranties to be accounted for on SaaS Enterprise products for the current period. Warranties will be applicable on VolparaLive! product sales after the first year.

Contract modifications There were two contract modifications that occurred during the year where customers on an existing SMA or Density, Dose, and Pressure (DDP) agreement signed SaaS contracts. As a result, these modifications were accounted for as separate contracts.

4. Revenue from contracts with customers (continued) Disaggregation of revenue The Group derives its revenue from the transfer of goods and services over time and at a point in time in the following product categories and geographic locations. This is consistent with the revenue information that is disclosed for each reportable segment under NZ IFRS 8 (refer to note 3). The revenue information below is based on the locations of the customers.

4. Revenue from contracts with customers (continued) Deferred revenueDeferred revenue is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a deferred revenue liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Deferred revenue liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.

Government grants 722 723

Other income 2 -

724 723

Government grants are received as compensation when expenses or losses have already occurred, and recognised in the consolidated income statement, when it becomes reasonably certain that the grants will be received. For government grants received from Callaghan Innovation, there is a restriction that only research undertaken in New Zealand is reimbursed. The Callaghan Innovation R&D Growth Grant has 10% withheld until conditions are met. This has been accrued for on the basis that conditions will be met.

7. Operating expenses and cost of sales

Cost of sales includes only those costs which are deemed incremental to the Group’s revenue activities.

Overhead allocation The presentation of the consolidated income statement by function requires certain overhead costs to be allocated to functions. These allocations require management to apply judgement. Salaries and benefits excludes those salaries and benefits which have been incurred in research and development activities which have not been capitalised based on the application of “research expenses” as defined in NZ IAS 38.

Sales and marketing Sales and marketing expenses consist of personnel and related expenses (including salaries, benefits, bonuses and commissions) directly associated with the sales and marketing teams and the cost of educating and onboarding customers. Other costs included are external advertising, marketing and conference costs for events such as RSNA, as well as allocated overheads.

Product research and development Product design and development costs consist primarily of personnel and related expenses (including salaries, benefits and bonuses) directly associated with our product research and development, regulatory and quality employees, as well as allocated overheads. Under NZ IFRS, the proportion of product research and development expenses that create a benefit in future years is capitalisable as an intangible asset and is then amortised to the consolidated income statement over the estimated life of the asset created. The amount amortised relating to Volpara’s products is included as a product research and development expense. Refer to note 22 for further details.

General and administration General and administration expenses consist of personnel and related expenses (including salaries, benefits and bonuses) for the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) as well as the finance, human resources and administrative employees. It also includes legal, accounting and other professional services fees, insurance premiums, other corporate expenses and allocated overheads. Share-based compensation is included for all Directors, Key Management Personnel (KMP), and employees.

(3) This total excludes foreign exchange gains/(losses).

8. Taxation

Current income tax The income tax benefit for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income tax component of the consolidated income statement, 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.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. No deferred tax asset has been recorded in the current year.

Short-term deposits are made for varying maturity periods of between one day and three months, depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Group, and earn interest at the respective short-term deposit rates. They are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

At 31 March 2019, the Group had available $10,000 (2018: $10,000) of undrawn committed borrowing facilities with Kiwibank.

Credit riskThere are significant concentrations of credit within the Group with $12,016,000 in outstanding term deposits held at the end of the financial year (2018: $3,500,000).

10. Trade receivables and contract assets Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for the sale of goods or services performed in the ordinary course of business that are unconditional. If collection is expected in one year or less they are classified as current assets. If not, they are classified as non-current assets.

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.

10. Trade receivables and contract assets (continued)

Customer credit risk The Group seeks to trade only with reputable third parties, and as such collateral is typically not requested nor is it the Group’s policy to securitise its trade and other receivables. In addition, outstanding customer receivables and contract assets are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s experience of bad debts is not significant.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses (ECLs). The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns (i.e., by geographical region, product type). The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions. Generally, trade receivables are written off if past due for an extended period (e.g., one year) and are not subject to enforcement activity. This is one of the factors in determining if there has been a significant increase in credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of trade receivables and contract assets. The Group does not hold collateral as security. The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables and contract assets as low, as its customers are generally large institutions.

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by NZ IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the trade receivables and contract assets.

11. Trade and other payablesTrade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are classified as non-current liabilities.

Employee entitlements expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees services up to the reporting date.

12. Share capital and EPSOrdinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributed to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction from proceeds.

(a) Ordinary shares All issued shares are fully paid and have no par value. Ordinary shares are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of Volpara Health Technologies Limited. All ordinary shares rank equally with regard to Volpara Health Technologies Limited residual assets.

(b) Capital risk management The Group’s capital includes share capital, accumulated losses, and reserves.

The Group’s policy is to maintain a sound capital base so as to maintain investor and creditor confidence, sustain future development of the business, and continue as a going concern. The Group’s policies in respect of capital management and allocation are reviewed by the Board of Directors.

These shares were initially escrowed for 24 months from the date of the IPO (up until 27 April 2018); however, they were voluntarily escrowed for a further 12 months from that date to 27 April 2019.

Dividends No dividends have been declared or paid for the year ended 31 March 2019 (2018: nil).

Earnings per shareBasic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net loss for the year after tax by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.

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 has potential ordinary shares in the form of share options however as these are anti-dilutive due to the company being in a loss position, the earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are the same.

The following reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS computations:

13. Share-based payments The Group operates two equity-settled share-based incentive plans for Directors, Executives, senior management, employees, and others of the company and its subsidiaries. The plans are designed to retain key personnel. There is a legacy employee share option plan (Legacy ESOP) that was in operation from 2009 until the Initial Public Offering (IPO) in April 2016. Since the IPO a new employee share option plan (New ESOP) has been in operation.

The value of the services rendered for the grant of the share options is recognised as an expense over the vesting period (which ranges from 0 to five years or upon meeting stipulated milestones). The amount is determined by reference to the fair value of the share options granted which is calculated using the Black-Scholes options model. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the consolidated income statement for the year represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that year.

The share option reserve arises on recognition of the share-based payment expense. Amounts are transferred out of the reserve and into issued capital when the options are exercised, or into retained earnings when options lapse or are forfeited.

Legacy ESOPIn accordance with the terms of the plan, as approved by shareholders at a previous annual general meeting, Executives, senior employees, employees, and others were granted options to purchase ordinary shares at exercise prices ranging from $0.0003 to $0.4667 per ordinary share.

Each Legacy ESOP converts into one ordinary share of Volpara Health Technologies Limited on exercise. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options vest upon satisfying the condition of continued employment with the Group for the service period specified in the contract (ranging from 0 to five years). Vested options can be exercised 30 days prior to expiry, at the time of an exit event, or after a listing of shares on a public stock exchange.

The options granted expire, or are forfeited within 5–10 years of their issue or on termination of employment within the vesting period, whichever occurs first.

13. Share-based payments (continued)New ESOP In accordance with the terms of the plan, as approved by shareholders at a previous annual general meeting, Executives, senior employees, employees, and others were granted options to purchase ordinary shares at exercise prices ranging from A$0.50 to A$1.19 per ordinary share.

Each New ESOP converts into one ordinary share of Volpara Health Technologies Limited on exercise. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options vest upon satisfying the condition of continued employment with the Group for the service period specified in the contract (ranging from two to five years). Vested options can be exercised at set times during the year, 30 days prior to expiry or at the time of an exit event.

The options granted expire or are forfeited after seven years of their issue or on termination of employment within the vesting period, whichever occurs first.

14. Lease liabilities and right-of-use assetsThe determination of whether a contract is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

At the commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset asset is initially measured at cost and the lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid at that date.

Subsequently the right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected period of the lease. The carrying amount of the lease liability is increased to reflect interest and reduced by the lease payments made during the period.

Lease Liabilities

The Group enters into property lease agreements for the head office, based in Wellington, New Zealand. The lease agreement, entered into in April 2017 began on 1 September 2017. The term of the lease is for three years on the likelihood and consideration of the termination with a right of renewal for an additional three years. The current portion of the lease has been determined to be the interest and principal repayments over the next 12 months. The details for the lease are as follows:

Extension options exercised N/A

Termination options After 3.25 years and any point thereafter up until 6 years

Termination penalties 3 months’ rent, reducing by a month each year after 3.25 years

Residual value guarantees None

Variable lease payments None

Indirect costs incurred Lawyers’ fees

Restrictions and/or covenants None

Incremental rate of borrowing 12.00%

Market rent reviews Every 2 years

The total cash outflow for leases for the year ended 31 March 2019 totalled $147,000 (31 March 2018: $132,000).

Post year end The Group has entered into a new lease agreement after year end. Refer to note 25 for details.

The Group considers laptop computers to be of “low value” and has therefore used the recognition exemption. The lease expense related to these items are therefore recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term (2019: NZ$15,000, 2018: NZ$6,000). There are commitments relating to low-value assets totalling NZ$70,000 (2018: NZ$14,000).

Right-of-use assets Right-of-use assets are recognised when the Group, as a lessee, has the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the Group’s case the underlying asset relates to the office space as disclosed in the lease liability above.

15. Financial risk management objectives and policiesThe Group has various financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, cash on deposit, trade receivables, and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Group’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The objective of the management of these risks is to support the delivery of the Group’s financial targets while protecting future financial security. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk and assessments of market forecasts for interest rate and foreign exchange. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.

16. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s cash and cash equivalents with floating interest rates. The Group holds $764,000 with varying interest rates (2018: $970,000). At balance date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets exposed to New Zealand interest rate risk.

16. Interest rate risk (continued) All of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were considered on hand at the balance date. The cash on deposit have fixed interest rates between 0.95% and 3.45%.

The Group does not enter into interest-rate swaps to manage the interest-rate risk.

The Group consistently analyses its interest-rate exposure. Within this analysis, consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates.

Sensitivity AnalysisThe following table summarises the sensitivity of the Group’s post-tax loss and equity to interest rate risk.

At 31 March 2019, if interest rates had moved on the basis that all investments had rolled, as illustrated in the table below, assuming the amount of the financial instruments outstanding at balance date was outstanding for the whole year and all other variables held constant, post-tax loss and equity would have been affected as follows:

Post-tax losshigher/(lower)

2019 2018NZ$’000 NZ$’000

+1.0% (100 basis points) (128) (48)

-1.0% (100 basis points) 128 48

17. Foreign currency riskForeign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from the entity’s functional currency), receivables, or payables in the statement of financial position related to the operating activities.

The Group does not enter into any forward contracts or any other instrument to hedge the currency exposure; however, where possible, the Group maintains a portion of available funds in USD, AUD, and GBP to match the respective expected expenses. The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD, AUD, and GBP exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

18. Credit risk Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group; which comprise cash and cash equivalents, cash on deposit, contract assets, and trade receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Exposure at balance date is addressed in each applicable note.

The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.

The Parent has a policy of lending to its wholly owned subsidiaries ensuring their continued operations as required.

The fair value of all financial instruments held are measured at amortised cost.

19. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk represents the Group’s ability to meet its contractual obligations. The Group has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short-term, medium-term, and long-term funding and liquidity requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

All financial liabilities are due for payment in less than 12 months.

20. Financial instrumentsA financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, cash on deposit, trade receivables, and trade and other payables approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments and/or because the interest rates applied are variable in nature.

Financial Assets Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as measured at amortised cost if the Group’s intentions is to hold the financial assets for collecting cash flows and the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

The Group currently classifies its cash and cash equivalents, cash on deposit, trade receivables, and other receivables as financial assets measured at amortised cost.

Subsequent measurement

Where financial assets are measured at amortised cost, interest revenue, expected credit losses, and foreign exchange gains or losses are recognised in the consolidated income statement. On derecognition, any gain or loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables and contract assets. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted using the original effective interest rate.

Financial liabilities

The Group currently, upon initial recognition, classifies its financial liabilities made up of trade payables and accrued expenses as measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequent measurement

The Group’s financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost are measured using the effective interest method.

21. Fixed assets Fixed assets consists of leasehold improvements, property, and computer equipment. They are all initially measured at cost and subsequently depreciated.

Assets are either fully depreciated after acquisition where initial recognition amounts are less than a certain threshold or depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: Leasehold improvements: 3 to 4 years Property: 3 to 15 years Computer equipment: 1 to 5 years

Leasehold improvements or an item of property or computer equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated income statement when the asset is derecognised.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of leasehold improvements, property and computer equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

22. Intangible assets Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is recognised in the consolidated income statement in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite and are amortised over the useful life and tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year-end.

Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with useful lives is recognised in the consolidated income statement. The Group does not have any intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.

Software development

Research costs and costs associated with maintaining software products are expensed as incurred.

Costs that are directly associated with the development of new or substantially improved medical technology software products controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets only where the following criteria can all be met: • it is technically feasible to complete the product so that it will be available for sale; • management intends to complete the product and sell it; • there is an ability to sell the product; • it can be demonstrated how the product will generate future economic benefits; • adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development and to sell the product are available; and • the expenditure attributable to the product during its development can be reliably measured.

Development expenditure directed towards incremental improvements in existing products does not qualify for recognition as an intangible asset. Development costs previously recognised as expenses are not recognised as assets in a subsequent period.

Internally generated/acquired Internally generated Internally generated / acquired

Impairment test/recoverable amount test Management believes the most relevant indicators of impairment are where there is evidence of obsolescence or where unfavourable changes to the economic benefits derived from the assets have been experienced.

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

There has been no evidence of impairment in 2019 (2018: nil).

24. Contingencies and commitments Contingent liabilities and capital commitments

The Group had no contingencies or commitments to purchase fixtures or equipment as at 31 March 2019 (2018: nil).

25. Events after the balance date Capital raise Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the company successfully raised A$45M (NZ$47.4M) through the issue of 30 million shares at A$1.50 from a placement to institutional shareholders.

A further A$10M (NZ$10.5M) is in the process of being raised, through a fully underwritten, accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer which is due to close on 3 July 2019.

Acquisition of MRS Systems, Inc. 100% of MRS Systems Inc.’s shares were acquired on 14 June 2019, thereby enabling Volpara to obtain control. MRS is a mammography reporting system company whose primary function is to enable the reporting and tracking of patients in breast and lung screening. The primary purpose of the acquisition is to enable Volpara to expedite product development through the use of existing offerings of the acquiree. MRS’s year-end is 31 December.

Intangible assets arising from the acquisition are expected to include goodwill arising from the combination of synergies expected to be realised through a combined entity such as sales, marketing, and administration; and separately identified intangible assets including know-how, customer lists, brand, etc., that do not qualify for separate recognition in the underlying entity’s accounts.

The Group acquired 100% of the shares for US$14.59M (NZ$22.32M). This was accomplished through a payment of US$11.61M in cash to the existing shareholders, made up of the US$14.59M purchase price plus US$353,000 working capital adjustments less US$708,000 in indebtedness. The remaining US$2.63M is being held back for 18 months in the form of an escrow fund, which is available for the Group to settle any warranties and liabilities.

The acquisition-date of the total consideration transferred has not been finalised at the date of issuing these financial statements as the MRS balance date is 31 December and the previously reported balances are not IFRS compliant. Acquisition-related costs to date have totalled NZ$461,000 and have been expensed as incurred in accordance with NZ IFRS 3.53. They all relate to the Volpara financial year ended 31 March 2020.

The assets acquired relate to working capital, property, plant, and equipment along with the underlying software and analytic know-how.

Revenue and profit or loss amounts as required per IFRS 3.B64(q) cannot practicably be shown as the acquiree is currently preparing financial statements in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (US GAAP) and further work is required to determine their NZ IFRS equivalents. Similarly, the purchase price allocation will be undertaken in due course although it is expected that significant goodwill will arise on acquisition.

New lease agreement The Company entered into a lease agreement on 13 May 2019 for new office premises to be occupied from 1 August 2019. The annual lease payments amount to $344,000.
