In preparing these financial statements, the directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge the condensed set of financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of Sensis Holding Limited.

Review of the business
The principal activity of the Company was that of a holding company. The principal activity of the Group was the operation of a directories and advertising business, which includes print directories, digital directories, digital display advertising and business information services. The Group operates in two principal areas of activity, being Yellow Pages and White Pages. The Group operates within a single geographical market, being Australia.
During the period, the Group exited one floor of its Melbourne office and two floors in the Liverpool Street property, which resulted in an onerous lease provision being recognised in provision for liabilities of $12.7 million.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group are broadly grouped as competitive/technological risks and financial instrument risks:
► | Competitive/technological risks |
► | Financial instrument risks |
These remain consistent with the principal risks and uncertainties at 30 June 2020 and should be read in conjunction with the disclosure in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year end 30 June 2020.

For the six months ended 31 December 2020
Going concern
The Group’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As at 31 December 2020, the Group had a net asset position of $128.4 million and net current assets of $99.4 million.
The Group’s forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group will be able to operate within the level of its current facility. The Directors note the global COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting adverse economic impacts has caused uncertainty in the economic environment. The Group has reforecast its Annual Operating Plan for the next 12 months. The reforecast, which is the basis of the preparation of the 12 month cashflow through until 30 June 2022 includes management’s expected downturn in revenue, as well as the offsetting benefits in cash flow as a result of management’s continued effort to implement cost saving initiatives and maintain a strong EBITDA and cash flow margin. This includes an average reduction of 18% in cash inflows for the year to June 2022 reflecting a 15% fall in revenues compared to the year to June 2021 and offset with a significant reduction in income tax outflows. Under this scenario, the Group and its related entities will have access to adequate funds to meet its debts as and when they fall due.
The Group has sufficient financial resources through parent entity funding. As a consequence, the directors believe that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the expected continued decline in print revenue.
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
2. Financial instruments
The carrying values and fair values of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities are materially the same. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:
Cash
The carrying amount is fair value due to the liquid nature of these assets.
Debtors and creditors
Due to the short-term nature of these financial rights and obligations, their carrying amounts are considered reasonable approximations of their fair values.
Interest-bearing liabilities
For interest bearing liabilities fair value is based on discounting expected future cash flows at market rates.
The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique.

7. Summary of significant differences between UK GAAP and U.S. GAAP
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United Kingdom (UK GAAP), which differ in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting policies in the United States (U.S. GAAP). A description of the differences and their effects on net income are set out below as of the six months ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and the effects on shareholders’ equity as at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively.
Description of differences between UK GAAP and US GAAP
| a. | Revenue from contracts with customers |
Under UK GAAP, revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty.
Under US GAAP, revenue is recognised when or as performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer. Control either transfers over time or at a point in time, which affects when revenue is recorded. Judgment might be needed in some circumstances to determine when control transfers. Various methods can be used to measure the progress toward satisfying a performance obligation when revenue is recognised over time. The difference in the timing of revenue recognition results in an decrease in net income of $65 thousand and $13 thousand at 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively, which also resulted in a decrease of $419 thousand and an increase of $604 thousand to consolidated shareholders’ equity at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2020, respectively.
| | December 31, 2020 | | | December 31, 2019 | |
Net income: increase/(decrease) | | | | | | |
Turnover | | | (2,640 | ) | | | (1,134 | ) |
Customer compensation | | | 2,575 | | | | 1,121 | |
| | | (65 | ) | | | (13 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
| | December 31, 2020 | | | June 30, 2020 | |
Shareholders’ equity: increase/(decrease) | | | | | | | | |
Debtors: Due within one year | | | (11,799 | ) | | | (5,119 | ) |
Creditors: Amount falling due within one year | | | (999 | ) | | | 536 | |
Deferred income | | | 12,379 | | | | 5,187 | |
| | | (419 | ) | | | 604 | |
Under UK GAAP, the Group has classified all leases for which it is the lessee as operating leases on the basis substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are not transferred. Rentals payable are charged to profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Upon adoption of ASC 842, Leases, under US GAAP, lessee classifies a lease as either finance or operating. A lease liability and right of use asset are recognised on the balance sheet. The leases were classified as operating leases under US GAAP. The lease liability is measured at the present value of lease payments that are not paid at commencement and discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, otherwise using the incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is recognized on the balance sheet and is measured as the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any lease payments and initial direct costs incurred, minus any lease incentives received. Interest and amortisation expenses are recognised for finance leases,

Unaudited Condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2020
while only a single lease expense is recognised for operating leases, typically on a straight-line basis. The difference in the models resulted in an increase to net income of $1,634 thousand for the six months to 31 December 2020 (six months to 31 December 2019: $648 thousand decrease) and an increase to consolidated shareholder’s equity at 31 December 2020 of $1,197 thousand (at 30 June 2020: $1,224 thousand decrease). An impairment expense amounting to $8,648 thousand was recorded during the six months ended 31 December 2020, which is included in the adjustment to facilities expense. The following line items in the financial statements were adjusted:
| | December 31, 2020 | | | December 31, 2019 | |
Net income: increase/(decrease) | | | | | | |
Facilities expense | | | 1,434 | | | | (658 | ) |

Shareholders’ equity: increase/(decrease) | | | | | | | | |

Provisions for liabilities | | | 16,599 | | | | 6,919 | |
| | | 1,197 | | | | (1,224 | ) |
| c. | Long service leave and annual leave provision |
Under UK GAAP, the liabilities for annual leave and long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Under US GAAP, the liabilities are recognised and measured at the value of the total amount to be paid and are not discounted. The adjustments for long service leave amounted to $357 thousand and $500 thousand as increases to profit in six months to 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively and increases shareholders’ equity $357 thousand and $395 thousand at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2020, respectively. The annual leave adjustment resulted in increases to profit in the six months to 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019 amounting to $515 thousand and $154 thousand respectively, and increases shareholders’ equity $515 thousand and $176 thousand at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2020, respectively.

The Group is required to restore the leased premises of its office premises to their original condition at the end of the respective lease terms. Under UK GAAP the amount of the provision to be recognised will be the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at reporting date. The provision is discounted, using the current discount rate, to reflect the present value of the expenditures where the time value of money is material. Make good provision is utilised over the life of the lease.
Under US GAAP an asset retirement obligation is discounted using the specific discount rate for the historical period when the provision was first assumed. The discount rate is not updated in subsequent periods. However, where the future expected costs increase, the current discount rate is used for the incremental costs. The impact amounted to a $7 thousand decrease and a $223 thousand increase in profit in the six months ended 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively and a $7 thousand decrease and $66 thousands increase in shareholders’ equity at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2020, respectively.

| e. | Capitalised financing costs |
Under UK GAAP the Group capitalised certain transaction costs related to a modification of the Group’s syndicated facility agreement that occurred in 2017.
Under US GAAP the amendment would have been treated as a debt modification, in which fees paid to third parties would have been expensed instead of capitalised. This adjustment derecognises the costs paid to third parties and reverses the amortisation expense recognised in the periods presented. The adjustment amounted to increases to profit $80 thousand and $495 thousand for the six months ended 31 December 2020 and at 31 December 2019, respectively, and an increase in shareholders’ equity of $19 thousand and $99 thousand at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2020, respectively.

Under UK GAAP, a receivable from a shareholder is recognised if the Group has a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset. However, under US GAAP, public companies are required to record notes or other receivables from a parent or another affiliate as contra-equity. This adjustment reclasses the shareholder loan and associated accrued interest receivable from an asset to contra-equity. The adjustment amounted to $4,330 thousand and $3,978 thousand as decreases in profit for six months to 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively for the income statement, and decreases of $94,698 thousand and $90,369 thousand in consolidated shareholders’ equity at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2020, respectively.

| g. | Financial assets impairment |
Under UK GAAP debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the income statement in ‘Bad debts / recovery costs / doubtful debts.’
Under US GAAP, the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model is applied to determine impairments of financial assets. The CECL model requires that all losses are projected over the life of the loan, and require the use of forward and backward-looking information to project losses. The adjustment amounted to a $614 thousand decrease to net income for six months ended 31 December 2020 and $3,207 decrease to shareholders’ equity as at 31 December 2020. No adjustment was required for the period to 31 December 2019 or 30 June 2020.
