ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
21 October 2020 |
INDEPENDENT CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS OF |
AGN INTERNATIONAL LTD |
The following reproduces the text of the report prepared for the directors in respect of the company's annual unaudited financial statements. In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the company is only required to file a Balance Sheet. Readers are cautioned that the Statement of Comprehensive Income and certain other primary statements and the Report of the Directors are not required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies. |
We have reviewed the financial statements of AGN International Ltd for the year ended 31 December 2019, which comprise the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes 1 to 10. 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 directors, as a body, in accordance with the terms of our engagement letter dated 2 February 2017. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the directors those matters that we have agreed with them in our engagement letter 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 directors as a body for our work, for this report or the conclusions we have formed. |
Directors' responsibility for the financial statements |
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page four, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. |
Accountants' responsibility |
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion based on our review of the financial statements. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2400 (Revised), 'Engagements to review historical financial statements' and ICAEW Technical Release TECH 09/13AAF 'Assurance review engagements on historical financial statements'. ISRE 2400 also requires us to comply with the ICAEW Code of Ethics. |
Scope of the assurance review |
A review of financial statements in accordance with ISRE 2400 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. We have performed additional procedures to those required under a compilation engagement. These primarily consist of making enquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, applying analytical procedures and evaluating the evidence obtained. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these financial statements. |
Conclusion |
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements have not been prepared: |
- | so as to give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2019 and of its surplus for the year then ended; |
- | in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
AGN International Ltd is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
The functional currency of the company is considered to be pounds sterling because that is the currency of the economic environment in which the company operates. When determining the functional currency the directors have considered the currency that influences sales prices for goods and services, the competitive forces and regulations that determine the sales prices and the currency that influences labour, material and its overheads. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Significant judgements and estimates |
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. |
The directors estimate the realisable value of trade and other receivable balances at the balance sheet date and adequacy of allowance for bad debts. |
The directors include accruals for costs incurred but for which no invoice has been received at the balance sheet date, the value is determined using the best estimate for those costs. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Subscription income is recognised over the life of the subscription. |
Income from meetings is recognised once the meeting has taken place. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Computer equipment | - |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. |

Financial instruments |
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
Financial assets |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and other short-term deposits held by the Company with maturities of less than three months. |
Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year |
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivables or payables within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses. |
Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost. |
Liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Foreign currencies |
Transactions in currencies other than in pound sterling are initially recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the dates of the transaction. At each reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Gains and losses arising on retranslation are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are charged as an expense as they fall due. |
Interest income |
Interest income is accrued on a time-apportioned basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable. |
Impairment |
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. |
