Vicarage Management No 1 Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 19th Floor, 1 Westfield Avenue, London, E20 1HZ.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:

• Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’: Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and disclosures;

• Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instrument Issues: Interest income/expense and net gains/losses for financial instruments not measured at fair value; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income;

• Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’: Compensation for key management personnel.

The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of Growth Lending Group Limited. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office, 1 Vicarage Lane, Stratford, England, London, England, E15 4HF.

The group has been negatively impacted by macroeconomic uncertainty, including above expected inflation and interest rates, which have delayed fundraising initiatives and reduced the group's earning capacity for a temporary period. Despite this, the group has managed its cost base prudently to ensure longevity and positive cashflow.

Furthermore, we have seen an improvement in group performance steadily over the past 6 months with new investments on multiple fronts and products expected to close imminently, with positive EBITDA and cashflow expected in 2025 and 2026, allowing for future growth in AUM.

This gives the directors and the group the comfort to trade as a going concern.

Turnover comprises the company's share of interest due from secured loans made to borrowers on the basis of the agreements in place between the company and the borrowers and the company who provided the secured lending.

Revenue is recognised on the time proportion basis after taking into account the amount outstanding and the loan rate applicable. Interest is calculated daily and it is recognised in arrears at the end of the month.

Financial facility sign up fees are recognised at the time of the approval of underlying loan terms.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows:

The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors, managements considered factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience.

The Company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of group loans. When assessing the impairment of group loans management considers whether there is objective evidence of impairment including:

• economic or legal reasons relating to the debtors financial difficult; and

• observable data indicating that there has been a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those asset.

Exceptional items the derecognition of certain liabilities no longer payable, comprising the release of a long-term loan balance following its refinancing and settlement with the supplier.

The average number of employees employed by the company were 1 (2023: 1). The services of 12 employees were used by the company (2023: 12 employees). All of whom are employed by a fellow group company.

RCF receivables of £3,600,362 (2023: £4,665,274) relate to amounts provided to 3rd parties on an arms-length basis on which securities are provided as part of the Company’s ongoing activity.

Within the prior year there are loans from a short term facility held in Other creditors of £4,682,697. This was fully repaid during the period.

The short term finance facility loans are secured by fixed and floating charges over the company's assets. These charges were taken out on 16 March 2020 and are between the company and the main lender. This short term finance facility interest is on an arm's length basis. On the 19 September 2024 the charge was satisfied in full.

As the income statement has been omitted from the filing copy of the financial statements, the following information in relation to the audit report on the statutory financial statements is provided in accordance with s444(5B) of the Companies Act 2006.

The auditor's report is unqualified.
