Report of the Director
for the year ended 31 December 2014


The director presents his report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2014.

DIVIDENDS
No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 December 2014.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The company will continue to operate in its existing and directly related markets.


DIRECTOR
D A Hughes held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2014 to the date of this report.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial risk management
The company's operations expose it to a limited number of financial risks that include the effects of changes in credit
risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. Due to the nature of the financial instruments used by the company there is
no exposure to price risk. The company's approach to managing these risks applicable to the financial instruments
concerned is shown below.The company does not make speculative use of derivatives, currency or other instruments.

Credit risk
Credit risk consists mainly of cash deposits and trade debtors.

Cash deposits are all with major banks with high quality credit standing, managed by fellow subsidiaries.

The company has implemented policies that require its subscribers to pay in advance of receiving the relevant product
and if payment is not received within a short predefined time period the subscription is suspended. With regard to
customers to whom credit is permitted, the company has policies regarding the level of credit allowed and the regular
monitoring of amounts outstanding in respect of both time and credit limits.


Liquidity risk
The company's risk to liquidity is a result of the funds available to cover future liabilities and commitments as they fall
due. The company manages liquidity risk through an ongoing reviewing of future liabilities and commitments to
ensure sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due.

Interest rate cash flow risk
The company has only interest bearing assets which comprise only cash balances. It does not have any interest
bearing liabilities. The interest bearing assets are at variable rates through the company's bankers and the company's
policy is to manage interest rate risk so that fluctuations in variable rates do not have a material impact of profit.

Report of the Director
for the year ended 31 December 2014

STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The director is responsible for preparing the Report of the Director 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 judgements 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 2006. He 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.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS
So far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act
2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and he has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a
director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's
auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
The auditors, Langdon West Williams PLC, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General
Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





D A Hughes - Director


28 May 2015

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Agora Lifestyles Limited


We have audited the financial statements of Agora Lifestyles Limited for the year ended 31 December 2014 on pages
six to thirteen. 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 a Report of the Auditors 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 Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page three, 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 Report of the Director 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 2014 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 Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial
statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Agora Lifestyles Limited


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to
you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from
branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the director was not entitled to take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to
prepare a Strategic Report.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with material items in relation to
the financial statements.

Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about Agora Lifestyles Limited as an individual company and do
not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section
400 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and
its subsidiary undertaking are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of its
parent, Agora Publishing Limited, a company registered in England and Wales.

Turnover
Turnover represents the amount derived from the company's principal activity of publishing and marketing
and after the deduction of refunds and value added tax. Subscription income, after adjusting for refunds, is
recognised as revenue on the basis of the sales value of the publications delivered in relation to the total sales
value of all items covered by the subscription.


Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the
balance sheet date.

Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the
balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange
ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating
result.

Deferred promotional expenditure
Promotional expenditure incurred during the year is matched against revenue generated by that expenditure.
Deferred promotional expenditure included in the balance sheet represents expenditure incurred during the
year in respect of which revenue is expected to arise after the balance sheet date.


Cash flow statement
The company has taken advantage of the exemptions provided by FRS1 not to present a cash flow statement
since it is a wholly owned subsidiary of another company registered in England and Wales.
