Director's responsibilities statement
 
 
The director is responsible for preparing the strategic report, the director's report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
 
 
Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is required to:

·select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

·make judgments 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006He is 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.
 
 
Financial instruments
 
 
The company has no financial instruments except for cash, trade debtors, bank loans and trade creditors all arising in the normal course of business. 
The main financial risks to which the company is exposed include liquidity risk, cash flow risk, exchange rate risk and credit risk. These risks are managed by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet the foreseeable needs of the company.

·so far as he is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware, and

·he has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.
 
 
This report was approved by the board on 31 March 2016 and signed on its behalf.

STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2015

Business review

The director is satisfied with the performance of the company for the year and the growth achieved and hopes to improve upon this in the forthcoming year.
The company has a proven track record of profitability and continues to be successful in identifying trading opportunities at the top end of the market. The strategy therefore is to continue focus on this area, with an emphasis on comprehensive research for potential stock acquisitions. However, due to the nature of the art business, it is extremely difficult to predict future sales, but the director expects sales for the forthcoming financial year and the performance of the business to be at a similar level as the year under review.

Principal risks and uncertainties 

The key business risks affecting the company are considered to be the general economic climate aligned with current trends relating to the popularity of individual artists. The company manages these risks through an ongoing process of monitoring and researching both the general economy, the market and demand for works of art.

Financial key performance indicators

The director does not consider, in the context of the art market, that there are any consistent key performance indicators which would be truly indicative of the company's underlying performance.



This report was approved by the board on 31 March 2016 and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF OFFER WATERMAN FINE ART LIMITED

We have audited the financial statements of Offer Waterman Fine Art Limited for the year ended 31 May 2015, set out on pages 6 to 18. 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).
 
 
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 2006Our 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 auditors' 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 director and auditors
 
 
As explained more fully in the director's responsibilities statement, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's Ethical Standards for Auditors.
 
 
Scope of the audit of the financial statements
 
 
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the director; and the overall presentation of the financial statements In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the strategic report and the director's report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.
 
 
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 May 2015 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 the information given in the strategic report and the director's report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2015

1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1
Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

1.2
Turnover

Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of fine art, wines and related services supplied during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts.

1.3
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.  Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

S/Term Leasehold Property
-
over the terms of the lease
Fixtures & fittings
-
25% on written down value
Office equipment
-
33% on written down value

Assets in the course of construction will not be depreciated until they are brought into use.
Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition or construction of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to prepare for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the asset cost. All other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs, including arrangement fees, that the company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Specific borrowing costs are capitalised as incurred. General borrowing costs are capitalised at a weighted average interest rate against the total expenditure incurred.

1.4
Operating leases

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight line basis over the period until the date the rent is expected to be adjusted to the prevailing market rate.

1.5
Stocks

Stocks are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value.

1.6
Pensions

The company makes contributions to the personal pension schemes of certain employees and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.

1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.7
Deferred taxation

Full provision is made for deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from all timing differences between the recognition of gains and losses in the financial statements and recognition in the tax computation.

A net deferred tax asset is recognised only if it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates expected to be effective at the time the timing differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are discounted.

1.8
Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the profit and loss account.
