Ann: Preliminary Profit Advice - Half Year Ended 31 December 2016, page-16

I hate to go on about this, but I am a little mystified that our numbers don't quite match, given that we are presumably looking at the same accounts. Apart from the fact that I wrote "HY Dec 2016", when I meant to write "HY Dec 2015", I actually can't see how my numbers could be wrong.

Here's what I meant to write:

HY Jun 2013; AC=$0.768m ; SN=19
HY Dec 2013: AC=$0.832m ; SN=?
HY Jun 2014: AC=$0.723m ; SN=19
HY Dec 2014: AC=$0.768m ; SN=?
HY Jun 2015; AC=$0.754m ; SN=15
HY Dec 2015; AC=$0.805m ; SN=?

I only went up to Dec 2015, as I was simply making a point about where costs actually went subsequent to the drop in stuff numbers seen in Jun 2015 (ie, that they didn't go where one might have assumed they were headed).

Now why I get admin costs of $0.754m for HY Jun 2015, whereas you get $0.837m, has me a little mystified. The full year admin costs (Jun 2015) are $1.522m. The HY ending Dec 2014 are $0.768m. As such, the HY ending Jun 2015 must be $1.522m - $0.768m = $0.754m.
