JAMES LAURENCE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04105682)

NOTES TO THE ABBREVIATED ACCOUNTS
for the Year Ended 31 March 2015

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain
assets and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).

Turnover
Turnover represents rents receivable on properties.

Investment property
In accordance with the FRSSE (effective April 2008), the company's properties are held for long-term investment and are
included in the Balance Sheet at their open market values. The surplus or deficit on annual revaluation of such properties
are transferred to the investment property revaluation reserve.

Depreciation is not provided in respect of freehold and long and short leasehold investment properties. This policy
represents a departure from statutory accounting principles, which require depreciation to be provided on all fixed assets.
The directors consider that this policy is necessary in order that the accounts may give a true and fair view because current
values and changes in current values are of prime importance rather than the calculation of systematic annual depreciation.
Depreciation is only one of many factors reflected in the valuation.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.
However,deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely than not that
there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.
Deferred taxation is measured on a non-discounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which
timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet dates.
