Chairman's Statement
Operating Review
Brave Bison is a social media and marketing group with offices in London and Singapore. The Group generates advertising revenue from a network of over 650 social media channels across YouTube, Snapchat, Facebook and TikTok and produces social media advertising campaigns for global brands such as Vodafone, Uniqlo and Samsung.
Brave Bison started 2021 in much better shape than the previous year, following the restructuring and rationalisation of its cost base over the course of 2020, and further benefiting from renewed focus around the Group's 3 key pillars of a social marketing agency, a network of YouTube channels managed by the Company on behalf of our partners, and a portfolio of social first media brands.
During the period our social marketing agency in the UK gained well-deserved recognition by securing second place in the Drum's UK Digital Agency Census list of top 50 digital agencies, which is based on scores from polls of both clients and peers, as well as awards. We are delighted that our social marketing agency is viewed so positively by the Group's clients and peers.
We also saw some key contract renewals and new business in the first half of the year, with Vodafone extending our partnership, and our refined social media management proposition generating new business in the form of DAMAC Properties and Hyprr. In APAC, Panasonic signed a new 4 year contract in the first half of 2021, which is a testament to the strength of our team and the relationship.
Our YouTube network continues to go from strength to strength, with our YouTube channel management revenues growing by over 38% when compared to the same period in 2020. While this increase is partly due to the impact of the pandemic on advertising revenue in April and May 2020, we can still see underlying revenue growth in the region of 20%.
We continued to develop our original content capabilities and social-first content credentials in the first half of the year. We launched the second series of the Wave House - the UK's biggest TikTok content house in partnership with talent agency, Yoke Network. As well as generating TikTok content, we produced a weekly reality show to air on YouTube, with the housemates taking on challenges in each episode.
Our creator led approach also saw success on Snapchat, where we had two new shows commissioned under The Hook brand, working with popular YouTuber stars Josh & Archie and Zac & Jay.
Financial Review
Total revenue for the period was £7.3 million, an increase of 32% compared to the equivalent period last year (H1 2020: £5.5 million). The majority of the increase in revenues was attributable to the increase in advertising revenue across the Group's media network, comprising channels across YouTube, Snap, and Facebook. The network generated £6.4m of revenue for the period, an increase of 40% year on year (H1 2020: £4.6m).
Fee based revenues reduced to £0.5m in H1 2021 (H1 2020: £1.0 million) predominantly as a result of H1 2020 benefiting from significant fee based revenues from two large campaigns which pre-dated lockdowns and pandemic related budget cuts. We are pleased to report that we are seeing a recovery in this area with clients preferring to sign off smaller individual projects, or ongoing partnerships, rather than large individual projects that we were seeing before the pandemic.
Administrative expenses have reduced by 40% to £1.5 million (H1 2020: £2.6 million). This is a result of the restructuring that took place towards the end of H1 2020, resulting in a significant reduction in staff costs. We also carried out a full review of other costs and renegotiated terms or switched suppliers in a number of cases in order to realise savings.
Headcount has decreased to 40 as at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: 55). There were no restructuring costs in H1 2021 (H1 2020: £0.6 million).
The Group had £3.0 million of cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: £2.1 million) and the only debt was a Bounce Back Loan of £0.1m (30 June 2020: £nil). Cash inflows from operations were £0.5 million in the period (H1 2020: £2.0 million outflow).
Outlook
Brave Bison is now consistently profitable month on month, and is well positioned to maintain that profitability as it grows its revenue. We feel there is good momentum in the business, and we should be able to grow our fee-based revenue in the second half of the year, as well as capitalise on the increased advertising spend in the run up to Christmas.
We remain acquisitive and are pursuing attractive opportunities to expand the Group, with a number of discussions ongoing. Our strategy of combining social advertising and creative services means we have a particular interest in acquiring profitable digital and social marketing businesses, as well as high-growth media assets and social communities.
We continue to adapt to an exciting as well as challenging environment and look forward to the years ahead with confidence. I'd like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Board, to thank all our staff for their contribution and dedication to the Group's continued progress.
On behalf of the Board

BRAVE BISON GROUP PLC
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 June 2021
1 General information
The information for the year ended 31 December 2020 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors reported on those accounts: their report was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis and did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The interim financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by the Group's auditor.
2 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The annual financial statements of Brave Bison Group plc are prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half yearly report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union.
The interim statement has been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will be able to meet its liabilities for the foreseeable future. The Group is dependent for its working capital requirements on cash generated from operations, cash holdings and from equity markets. The cash holdings of the Group at 30 June 2021 were £3.0 million.
The Directors have prepared detailed cash flow projections ("the Projections") which are based on their current expectations of trading prospects. The board forecasts that the Group will continue to achieve positive cash inflows in the second half of 2021 and 2022. Accordingly, the Directors have concluded that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. The Directors are confident that the Group's forecasts are achievable, and are committed to taking any actions available to them to ensure that any shortfall in forecast revenues is mitigated by cost savings.
The Directors also continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and maintain rolling forecasts which are regularly updated. Advertising revenues have recovered well after the initial impact of the pandemic, and while project budgets remain smaller, we are seeing signs of recovery in this area as well.
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in this condensed set of consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Other pronouncements
Other accounting pronouncements which have become effective from 1 January 2021 and therefore have been adopted do not have a significant impact on the Group's financial results or position.
3 Segment reporting
Management identify only one operating segment in the business, being monetising online video content. This single operating segment is monitored and strategic decisions are made on the basis of this segment alone.
As a result, only the geographic reporting of revenue analysis has been included in this note.

The Group entered into a two year lease for an office on 1 October 2019. With the exception of short-term leases and leases of low-value underlying assets, each lease is reflected on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability.
The table below describes the nature of the Group's leasing activities by type of right-of-use asset recognised on the statement of financial position:
|
| No. of right-of-use assets leased | Range of remaining term | Average remaining lease term | No. of leases with extension options | No. of leases with termination options |
| Office building | 1 | 0.25 years | 0.25 years | - | - |
The lease liabilities are secured by the related underlying assets. Future minimum lease payments at 30 June 2021 were as follows:
|
|
| Within one year | One to two years | Total |
|

| £000's | £000's | £000's |

The Group has elected not to recognise a lease liability for short terms leases (leases with an expected term of 12 months or less). Payments made under such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis.
The expense relating to payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability is as follows:
|
|
|
| (audited) |
|

The Group received a Covid-19 related rent concession during the period of £72,030 (2020: £69,750). It has applied the exemption granted by the Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16) and has therefore not assessed this as a lease modification but has included it within administration expenses.
At 30 June 2021 the Group had not committed to any leases which had not yet commenced excluding those recognised as a lease liability.
