Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 31 March 2017 |
|
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2017. |
|
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of an intermediate holding company. The |
company has not traded in the current or previous year. |
|
EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE YEAR |
Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements. |
|
DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 April 2016 to the date of this report. |
|
|
|
|
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with |
applicable law and regulations. |
|
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors |
have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting |
Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not |
approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the |
company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors |
are required to: |
|
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- |
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will
continue in business. |
|
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the |
company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and |
enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for |
safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud |
and other irregularities. |
|
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act |
2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken |
as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's |
auditors are aware of that information. |
|
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Grant Thornton UK LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General |
Meeting. |
|
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small |
companies. |
|
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Law 2457 Limited |
|
We have audited the financial statements of Law 2457 Limited for the year ended 31 March 2017 on pages five to ten. |
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom |
Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting |
Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. |
|
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the |
Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those |
matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent |
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's |
members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |
|
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors |
|
|
Scope of the audit of the financial statements |
A description of the scope of an audit of financial statements is provided on the Financial Reporting Council's website at |
www.frc.org.uk/auditscopeukprivate. |
|
Opinion on financial statements |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- |
give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2017 and of its profit for the year then
ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
|
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- the information given in the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is |
consistent with the financial statements. |
- the Directors' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
|
Matter on which we are required to report under the Companies Act 2006 |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the Audit, |
we have not identified any material misstatements in the Report of the Directors'. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Law 2457 Limited |
|
|
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you |
if, in our opinion: |
- |
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from
branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or |
- |
the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and
take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Directors. |
