To the members of Consolidated Media Holdings Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Consolidated Media Holdings Limited,

which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2010, the statement of

comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year 

ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting and other explanatory

information, and the directors’ declaration of 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. 

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half Year 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 controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of

the period e.g. half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or

error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We

conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review

of Interim and Other Financial Reports Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to

state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes

us believe that the 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 2010 and its

performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134

Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Consolidated Media

Holdings Limited and the entities it controlled during the half-year, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply

with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

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.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act

2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a

copy of which is included by reference in the Directors’ Report.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us

believe that the half-year financial report of Consolidated Media Holdings Limited is not in accordance with

the Corporations Act 2001, including:

a)  giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2010 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.
