Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2018

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Burnett Barker Solicitors 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.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


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.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates,
value added tax and other sales taxes.

For incomplete contracts, revenue is recognised to reflect the accrual of the right to consideration as contract
activity progresses. This amount will reflect the value of the services provided as a proportion of the total value
of the contract. Revenue in respect of contingent fee engagements is recognised when the contingent event
occurs and recoverability of the fee is assured.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost
less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

The will bank is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Leasehold improvements - 10 years straight line
Office equipment - 25% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance
Computer equipment - 4 years straight line

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial
assets and liabilities such as trade and other accounts receivable and payable, and loans from banks or other
related parties.

Debt instruments, such as loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present
value of the future payments and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt
instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are
measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration, expected
to be paid or received. However if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing
transaction, such as the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate
of interest that is not a market rate, or in case of an outright short-term loan not at market rate, the financial
asset or liability is measured, initially and subsequently, at the present value of the future payment discounted
at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period
for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is
recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an
asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original
effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any
impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference
between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate, which is an approximation of the amount that the
company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance sheet when there is an
enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to
realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those
held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance
leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital
element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the
lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's
pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
