CLM Delivery Partner Ltd

 

Report of Independent Auditors

 

In our opinion, the accompanying Balance Sheet and the related Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CLM Delivery Partner at 31 December 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with the United Kingdom generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Financial Statements

(information as of and for the year ended 31 December 2007 is unaudited)

 

1      Accounting Policies

 

1.1

Basis of preparation of accounts

 

 

 

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Companies Act 1985 and applicable Accounting Standards in the United Kingdom, which have been applied consistently with the prior year. A summary of the more important policies is set out below.

 

 

1.2

Turnover

 

 

 

Turover relates to profit management service. It reflects amounts initially agreed in the contract, plus any variations in contract work and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable they will result in revenue and can be reliably measured.

 

 

1.3

Profit recognition

 

 

 

Profit is calculated on an individual task order basis as the element of profit forecast at completion that can prudently be attributed to the proportion of work done at the period end. Immediate provision is made for all foreseeable unrecoverable amounts if projections of future costs require it.

 

 

1.4

Pension costs

 

 

 

The company does not have its own defined contribution pension fund and contributions are made where necessary to independent staff pension schemes.
