Notes to the Financial Statements
for the half-year ended 31 December 2020
1. Corporate Information
The consolidated financial report of Supply Network Limited ("the company") and its controlled entities (collectively "the Group") for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 26 February 2021.
Supply Network Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated in Australia, whose shares are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The principal activity of the Group during the period was the provision of after-market parts for the commercial vehicle market.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Group as the full financial report.
The half-year report should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020. It is also recommended that the half-year report be considered together with any public announcements made by Supply Network Limited during the half-year ended 31 December 2020 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX Listing Rules.
(a) Basis of preparation
The half-year consolidated financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
(b) Basis of consolidation
The half-year consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Supply Network Limited and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2020. The exchange differences arising on the translation of the financial statements of a foreign subsidiary are taken directly to a separate component of equity.
(c) Significant accounting policies
The half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020. The Group has considered the implications of new and amended Accounting Standards and determined that their application to the financial statements is either not relevant or not material.

On behalf of the Board
G J Forsyth Director Sydney 26 February 2021

Independent Auditor's Review Report to the Members of Supply Network Limited:
REPORT ON THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Supply Network Limited ("the company"), which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration, for the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of Supply Network Limited does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.
Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
