Statement
of directors' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report 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; - state whether applicable UK Accounting
Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures
disclosed and explained in the financial statements; - 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
of disclosure to auditors
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (information needed by the company's auditors in connection with preparing their report) of which the company's auditors are unaware. Additionally, the directors have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. This confirmation is given and
should be interpreted in accordance with provision of Section 418
of the Companies Act 2006. In preparing the Directors'
Report the director's have taken advantage of the
exemptions allowed for small companies as set out in the
Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT
AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
ALLBATTERIES U.K. LIMITED
-
3 -
We have audited the financial statements of
Allbatteries U.K. Limited for the year ended 31 December 2013 set
out on pages 5 to 16. 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 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 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 directors and auditors
As
explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set
out on pages 1 - 2, the directors are 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 directors; and the overall presentation of the financial
statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial
information in the Annual 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 December 2013 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. In our opinion the
information given in the Directors' Report for the
financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is
consistent with the financial statements.

TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013
-

1
Accounting
policies
1.1
Accounting
convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.
1.2
Compliance
with accounting standards
The
financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable
United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice), which have been applied consistently
(except as otherwise stated).
1.3
Turnover
Turnover represents amounts receivable for goods and services net of VAT and trade discounts and is recognised upon despatch of products.
1.4
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 less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Land
and buildings leasehold
4 to 10 years straight line
Plant
and machinery
3 to 10 years straight line
Fixtures,
fittings & equipment
1 to 3 years straight line
During the year the company reclassified
certain fixed assets as part of a review of its operations. As part
of this review the depreciation policy has been updated and a more
appropriate policy has been applied which is believed to give a
more accurate reflection of their residual values. The effect of
the change in policy is immaterial to the accounts and no
restatement is therefore required.
1.5
Leasing
Rentals
payable under operating leases are charged against income on a
straight line basis over the lease term.
1.6
Investments
Fixed
asset investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in
value.
1.7
Stock
and work in progress
Stock
and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net
realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow
moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate
proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
1.8
Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution
pension scheme. The amount charged to the profit and loss account
in respect of pension costs is the contributions payable in the
year. Differences between contributions payable in the year and
contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or
prepayments in the balance sheet.

1.9
Deferred
taxation
Current tax, including UK corporation tax
and foreign tax, is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or
recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or
subsequently enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxation is recognised in respect
of all material timing differences that have originated but not
been reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or
events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future
or a right to pay less tax in future have occurred at the balance
sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the
company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the
financial statements that arise from the inclusion of gains and
losses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which
they are recognised in the financial statements.
A net deferred tax asset is regarded as
recoverable and therefore recognised only to the extent that, on
the basis of all available evidence, 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 difference can
be deducted.
Deferred tax is measured at the average tax
rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which the timing
differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws
that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the balance sheet
date.
1.10
Foreign
currency translation
Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the
balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded
at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences
are taken to profit and loss account.
1.11
Group
accounts
The financial statements present
information about the company as an individual undertaking and not
about its group. The company has not prepared group accounts as it
is exempt from the requirement to do so by section 400 of the
Companies Act 2006 as it is a subsidiary undertaking of VDI SA, a
company incorporated in France, and is included in the consolidated
accounts of that company.
1.12
Cash
Flow
The
directors have taken advantage of the exemption in the Financial
Reporting Standard No. 1 (Revised) from including a cash flow
statement in the financial statements on the grounds that the company
is wholly owned and its parent publishes consolidated financial
statements.
