The financial statements of Kvika Credit Ltd (registered number:

Director |
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial period and to the preceding financial period, unless otherwise stated.
Kvika Credit Ltd (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the company's registered office is 103 Nations House, Wigmore Street, London, W1U 1QS, United Kingdom.
The principal activities are set out in the Directors’ Report.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value, and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued by the Financial Reporting Council and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
The Company was entitled to exemption from including a Cash Flow statement under FRS 1.12.
The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have not been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors are discontinuing the activities of the Company as part of changes to the way the UK business of Kvika Banki is funded. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern, under which assets and liabilities are stated at par. The Company did not experience any solvency or liquidity issues during this process and none are foreseen in the future, as the Company continues to benefit from the financial support of regulated bank within the Kvika Group.
Exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences arising on gains or losses on non-monetary items which are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
i. Current tax
Current tax is the amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the period or prior years. Tax is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
ii. Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises from timing differences that are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements.
These 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 recognised on all timing differences at the reporting date except for certain exceptions. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are only recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments and transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to and from related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.
Non-derivative financial assets
Basic financial assets, including trade receivables and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, are initially recognised at transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. At the end of each reporting period financial assets at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment and are adjusted for any expected credit loss allowance.
Given the nature of the trade and other receivables, and the short-term of time between origination and settlement, their amortised cost is the same at the transaction price. Financial assets are derecognised when:
(a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or
(b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or
(c) control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions.
Non-derivative financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, are initially recognised at fair value. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Given the nature of trade and other payables, and the short-term of time between origination and settlement, their amortised cost is the same as the transaction price. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expired.
All items of administrative expenses are recognised on an accrual basis.
Cost of funds are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the term of the related financial liability using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount.
Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at transaction price and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses, except where discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost less impairment.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Provisions are recognised based on an assessment of recoverability, taking into account the ageing of balances, historical collection experience and any specific knowledge of individual debtors. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss and reviewed at each reporting date.
Critical judgements in applying the company’s accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements, 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 the financial statements.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset measured at amortised cost is impaired. If such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
For trade receivables, impairment provisions are recognised based on an assessment of recoverability. This includes consideration of the ageing of balances, historical credit loss experience and factors specific to individual debtors, as well as current economic conditions at the reporting date. Where appropriate, a provision matrix may be used to estimate losses on outstanding balances.
For loans and advances to customers and other financial assets, impairment is assessed individually for significant balances and collectively for groups of assets with similar risk characteristics. The assessment considers factors such as payment default, breaches of contractual terms and adverse changes in the financial position of the borrower.
Any impairment loss represents the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment losses are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect changes in estimates.
