NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Rothmans LLP [the 'LLP'] was incorporated in England and Wales as a limited liability partnership on 27 February 2019 with registration number OC426207.

The LLP operates from a number of offices. Its registered office is Avebury House, St Peter Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8BN.

The financial statements are presented in £ 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 requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the 2021 LLP SORP.

Turnover
Turnover is the amount receivable for the provision of services falling within the LLP's ordinary activities for the financial period, excluding value added tax.

For non-contingent fees, income is recognised on the basis of time spent, subject to deduction of allowances for discounts, credit risk and other uncertainties relating to clients' willingness to pay. For matters where the ability to recover fees is contingent, income will not be recognised until completed.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of those assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures and fittings33% on cost
Computer equipment33% on cost
Improvements to property 3 - 20 years straight line basis

At each balance sheet date, the LLP reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, the LLP estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

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

Going concern
The LLP is financed by capital from the members, retained profits and bank facilities. The budgets and forecasts prepared by the LLP demonstrate that there is a reasonable expectation that the LLP has sufficient resources to meet its operational requirements for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Members remuneration
Members are permitted to drawings in anticipation of profits which will be allocated to them. The amount of such drawings is reviewed during the period, taking into account the anticipated cash needs of the LLP.

Profits are automatically divided between all members. Profits are therefore shown as members' remuneration and charged as an expense in the profit and loss account.


Financial instruments

The LLP only has financial assets and liabilities of the kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Assets held under hire purchase contracts are capitalised at the original cost of the asset at the inception of the lease, with an equivalent liability categorised as appropriate under creditors due within and after more than one year.

The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease.
