ARUNDEL_INVESTMENTS_LIMIT - Accounts

The following reproduces the text of the Accountants' Report prepared in respect of the company's annual unaudited financial statements, from which the unaudited abbreviated financial statements set out on pages 2 to 4 have been prepared.

In order to assist you to fulfil your duties under the Companies Act 2006, we have prepared for your approval the financial statements of Arundel Investments Limited for the year ended 31 March 2014 set out on pages 3 to 8 from the company's accounting records and from information and explanations you have given us.

As a practising member firm of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, we are subject to its ethical and other professional requirements which are detailed at icaew.com/membershandbook.

This report is made solely to the Board of Directors of Arundel Investments Limited, as a body, in accordance with the terms of our engagement letter dated 21 November 2014. Our work has been undertaken solely to prepare for your approval the financial statements of Arundel Investments Limited and state those matters that we have agreed to state to the Board of Directors of Arundel Investments Limited, as a body, in this report in accordance with AAF 2/10 as detailed at icaew.com/compilation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than Arundel Investments Limited and its Board of Directors as a body, for our work or for this report.

It is your duty to ensure that Arundel Investments Limited has kept adequate accounting records and to prepare statutory financial statements that give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of Arundel Investments Limited. You consider that Arundel Investments Limited is exempt from the statutory audit requirement for the year.

We have not been instructed to carry out an audit or a review of the financial statements of Arundel Investments Limited. For this reason, we have not verified the accuracy or completeness of the accounting records or information and explanations you have given to us and we do not, therefore, express any opinion on the statutory financial statements.

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).

Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at their open market value. Depreciation is provided only on those investment properties which are leasehold and where the unexpired lease term is less than 20 years.

Although this accounting policy is in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008), it is a departure from the general requirement of the Companies Act 2006 for all tangible assets to be depreciated. In the opinion of the directors compliance with the standard is necessary for the financial statements to give a true and fair view. Depreciation or amortisation is only one of many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount of this which might otherwise have been charged cannot be separately identified or quantified.

For the year under review, the company was under the control Arundel Property Investments Limited, a company in which L E Smith, M J Smith, and R M Smith are also directors. Arundel Property Investments Limited owns 100% of the company's share capital.
