Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31st December 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Viola Leasing Management UK 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.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies
The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations (which are dealt with separately below), that the directors have made in the process of applying the company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in financial statements.

Amounts owed by group companies and loans receivable
The company has loan balances receivable from a group company, and a non group company, which are repayable on demand. In reviewing the need for impairment, the directors review the financial position of the borrower and the status of any interest and capital payments due.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable excluding value added tax, and is recognised in the period in which services are provided to the customer.

Software
Software was acquired at book value from a fellow group subsidiary where it had an expected life of 5 years from commissioning. Amortisation has been charged in equal monthly instalments over the remaining 10 months expected life at the transfer date of 30 November 2023.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
Recognition
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The financial assets and liabilities of the company consist wholly of basic financial instruments.

Initial measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), and subsequently carried at amortised cost.

Subsequent measurement
Receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Discounting has not been applied to receivables as they are repayable on demand or on term agreements.
Trade payables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless payment is due within one year or less, in which case they are measured at the undiscounted amount of cash or other consideration expected to be paid.

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the company transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the company, despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party and the other party has the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without needing to impose additional restrictions on the transfer. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Taxation
Current tax is provided at amount expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

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.

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.
