| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| J. & B. Newspapers is a private company unlimited 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 |
| Related party exemption |
| The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| 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. |
| 3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS |

| The fair value of each of the investment properties held within the group and company has been estimated by the directors and was last valued by an external valuer on 30 September 2017. The estimate of fair value for each property is based on comparisons with the market value of deemed comparable properties. Adjustments are applied based on the estimated cost of required maintenance and repairs. The directors have used consistent techniques to estimate fair value and applied those techniques to each individual property in the company's portfolio. The directors acknowledge, as with other valuation techniques there is a margin for variation between an estimated valuation and any market value achieved in an arms-length disposal of a property. Equally, an estimated market value fixed at any specific date will suffer deteriorating accuracy with the passage of time. However, the directors believe that their valuation is fair and the best estimate of the fair value of the properties at the balance sheet date. |
