How to read this

The update is a routine half-yearly results announcement. It lets a reader compare the half year with the same half a year earlier: both revenue from operations and profit for the period are higher than in that earlier half, while earnings per share is lower because the weighted average number of shares is larger. The cash flow statement shows cash used in operating activities for the half year, and borrowings are a source of cash during the period. The figures are unaudited and have been subject to a Limited Review, which is the standard review for half-yearly results of a listed company.
