1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Browns Estate Agency 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 the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities"

of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of

Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost

convention as modified by the revaluation of the investments.

There were no material departures from that standard.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and

have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same

accounts.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value

added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of services.

Income Recognition

Income is recognised when a contract for the sale of goods or services is recognised as unconditional.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property

-

2% on cost

Office equipment

-

15% on reducing balance

Fixtures and fittings

-

15% on reducing balance

Computer equipment

-

25% on cost

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell.

Financial instruments

Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost with changes recognised in profit or loss.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account,

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 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.

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.

Investments

Investments in shares are included at fair value.
