The directors confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and which they know the auditor is unaware of. Small company provisions This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006. Approved by the Board on 19 June 2015 and signed on its behalf by:... Mr Jeremy David Eaton Director Page 2
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual 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 apply them consistently; make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 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. Page 3
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Snowsport England Limited I have audited the financial statements of Snowsport England Limited for the year ended 31 December, set out on pages 6 to 11. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (Effective April 2008) (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to Smaller Entities). 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. My audit work has been undertaken so that I might state to the company s members those matters I am required to state to them in an auditor s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company s members as a body, for my audit work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. Respective responsibilities of directors and auditor As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities (set out on page 3), the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. My 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 me to comply with the Auditing Practices Board s (APB 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, I read all the financial and non-financial information in the Annual Report and Financial Statements 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 me in the course of performing the audit. If I become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies I consider the implications for my report. Opinion on the financial statements In my opinion the financial statements: give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December and of its profit for the year then ended; have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to smaller entities; 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 my 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Snowsport England Limited... continued Matters on which I am required to report by exception I have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires me to report to you if, in my opinion: adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for my audit have not been received from branches not visited by me; or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or certain disclosures of directors remuneration specified by law are not made; or I have not received all the information and explanations I require for my audit; or the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption in preparing the Directors' Report and take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report....

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 1 Accounting policies Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for smaller entities (effective April 2008). As the company is a non-profit making organisation, the results have been presented in the form of an income and expenditure account. Name Change On 17th November the company changed its name from 'English Ski Council Limited' to 'Snowsport England Limited' Turnover Income from activities is recognised when the event is held. Registration, renewal and affiliation income is allocated in the period to which it relates based on the membership year to 31 October. At the balance sheet date the proportion of income relating to the following period is carried forward as deferred income in creditors. Where a training camp is held which spans the balance sheet date then income is recognised to cover the costs incurred to that date if a break-even or surplus is anticipated. Should an overall deficit on camp be indicated that deficit is recognised before the balance sheet date by reducing income accordingly. Grants receivable are credited to income in the same period in which the expenditure to which they relate is incurred. Income received but not expended at the balance sheet date is carried forward as deferred income in creditors. Depreciation Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: Asset class Technical Equipment Motor Vehicles Office Equipment Depreciation method and rate 25% Straight Line 33% Straight Line 25% Straight Line Stock Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Net realisable value is based on selling price less anticipated costs to completion and selling costs. Foreign currency Monetary assets and liablities are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date; other assets are translated at the rate of exchange as at the date of the transaction. Profits and losses on translation and conversion are included as part of the results from ordinary activities for the year unless they relate to extraordinary items when they are included as part of those items. Hire purchase and leasing Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the income and expenditure account on a straight line basis over the lease term. Page 8
