We have audited the financial statements of Cards Inc. Limited for the year ended 31st July 2006 which comprise a Profit and Loss Account, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement and the related notes. These financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein.
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with section 235 of the Companies Act 1985. 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 an auditor’s report 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
The directors responsibilities for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) are set out in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities.
Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland).
We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985. We also report to you whether in our opinion the information given in the Directors’ Report is consistent with the financial statements.
In addition we report to you if, in our opinion, the company has not kept proper accounting records, if we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit, or if information specified by law regarding directors’ remuneration and other transactions is not disclosed.
We read the Directors’ Report and consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements within it.
Basis of Audit Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.
We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.

Accounting Policies
Year ended 31st July 2006
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
The following accounting policies have been applied:
Turnover
Turnover represents amounts derived from ordinary activities at invoiced amount less VAT where applicable.
Foreign Currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Sterling and recorded at the rate ruling at the date of receipt or payment.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes direct expenditure such as freight and duty.
Taxation
Corporation tax is provided on any taxable profits at the current rate.
Deferred Taxation
The payment of taxation or receipt of taxation refunds is deferred or accelerated because of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for accounting and taxation purposes. Full provision for deferred taxation is made under the liability method, on all timing differences that have arisen, but not reversed by the balance sheet date, unless such provision is not permitted by FRS 19. Deferred Taxation is calculated at the tax rates which are expected to apply in the periods when the timing differences are expected to reverse. The company has not adopted a policy of discounting deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the time value of money.
Depreciation
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives.
Plant | 20% per annum on cost | |
Motor Vehicle | 25% per annum on cost |
Leasing and hire purchase commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Assets held under finance leases are capitalised and depreciated over their useful lives. The corresponding lease obligation is treated in the balance sheet as a liability. The interest element of rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease at a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding.
