The audited H1 2021 Financial Statements are substantially consistent with the Unaudited H1 2021 Financial Statements and the only significant measurement difference arises from the income tax calculations prepared under IAS 12 “Income Taxes” for the Audited H1 2021 Financial Statements and under IAS 34 for the Unaudited H1 2021 Financial Statements.
The effect is an increase in current tax expense of US$2.1 million with a corresponding increase in current income tax liabilities of US$2.1 million and a decrease in deferred tax expense of US$2.1 million with a corresponding decrease in deferred tax liability of US$2.1 million.
