1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Lothbury Estates Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The

company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Turnover

Turnover represents the total rental income receivable during the year derived from assets let under operating

leases. Income is recognised on a straight line basis of the lease term.

Where incentives. such as rent free periods, or periods of reduced rent, are given to tenants, the cost of these

incentives will be spread over the lease term on a straight line basis.

Investment property

FRS 102 states that investment properties, whose fair value can be measure reliably without undue cost or effort

will be measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value will be recognised in the Profit and

Loss account.

Valuation at 31st March 2019

The board of directors have decided not to revalue the company's investment property portfolio at 31st March

2019 and the investment properties will be stated at the last valuation undertaken which was at 31st March 2015.

This accounting treatment does not accord to the requirements of FRS 102.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to

the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or

substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

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

sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from

those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that

have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the

timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they

will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Deferred tax is now recognised on all timing differences, including those arising on revaluation.
