NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| John Welch & Stammers Solicitors LLP is registered in England and Wales. The LLP's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

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

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

| The limited liability partnership is incorporated in England under the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2000.

| The address of the registered office is given on the limited liability partnership information page. The nature of the limited liability partnership’s operations and its principal activities are given in the members’ report.

| These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

| The functional currency of John Welch & Stammers LLP is pound sterling.

| John Welch & Stammers, a partnership with unlimited liability was transferred to John Welch & Stammers LLP on 1 April 2024.

| These financial statements reflect the trading results for the year ended 31 March 2026.

| The transfer of business previously carried on by John Welch & Stammers, a partnership with unlimited liability, has been accounted for in accordance with the principles of merger accounting since the members of John Welch & Stammers LLP at the date of transfer were the same as the former partners of John Welch & Stammers and their rights, relative to each other, are unchanged.

| Under the principles of merger accounting, the assets and liabilities of the former unlimited liability partnership have been included at their book values under the accounting policies of John Welch & Stammers LLP. In addition the income and expenditure of the unlimited liability partnership has been included under John Welch & Stammers LLP accounting policies.

| Turnover

| Turnover represents the value of services rendered during the year (excluding VAT) and comprises both completed work (gross fees billed) and incomplete unbilled work (accrued income).

| Gross fees billed represent the amounts (excluding VAT) derived from the provision of completed work for clients during the year. In addition, accrued income is recognised in accordance with the principles of FRS102.

| The movement in accrued income has been shown as turnover for the year. Accrued income in respect of matters of a non-contingent nature is calculated based upon the value of work done but not billed at the year end. The value represents the time spent on matters in progress at the firm’s billing rates, reduced to realisable value.

| Tangible fixed assets

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

| Office equipment & fixtures | - | 33% on cost

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Members' remuneration and division of profits

| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

| Profits are automatically allocated to members. They are therefore shown as "Members' remuneration charged as an expense" in the Profit and Loss Account in the relevant year. To the extent that they remain unpaid at the year end, they are included within "loan and other debts due to members" in the Balance Sheet.

| Members' interests

| Amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed by members, for example members' capital, are classed as liabilities as the LLP does not have an unconditional right to refuse payment to members.

| All other amounts due to members are classified as liabilities and are presented in the Balance Sheet within 'Loans and other debts due to members'.

| Hire purchase and leasing commitments

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

3. | EMPLOYEE INFORMATION

| The average number of employees during the year was 15 (2025 - 17 ) .
