The principal activity of the company is to act as a holding and investment company for the operations of International Personal Finance plc.
The company participates in the group's centralised treasury arrangements and banking arrangements with its parent and fellow subsidiaries.
In considering whether the company is a going concern, the directors have made enquiries of the reviews performed by the directors of the ultimate parent company in assessing the Group's 2022 business plan and the impacts it is forecast to have on the company, its subsidiaries and the Group undertakings from which amounts are due as at 31 December 2021. The financial forecasts in the business plan have been stress tested in a range of downside scenarios to assess the impact that the Group's principal risks and uncertainties (including the medium and long-term impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the macro-economic environment) may have on future profitability, funding requirements and covenant compliance. In addition, the Group's debt facilities are forecast to be sufficient to fund business requirements for the foreseeable future and The Group is forecast to continue to operate with significant headroom over its key financial covenants.
As at 31 December 2021, the company has net assets of £68,078,000 (2020: £69,473,000) and net current assets of £8,736,000 (2020: £9,488,000). On the basis of their assessment of the company's financial position and of the enquiries made of the directors of International Finance plc, the company's directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue in operational existence in the next 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
The profit and Loss Account for the year is set out on page 9. The loss after tax for the year of £1,395,000 (2020: profit £66,236,000) has been deducted from (2020: added to) reserves. The company's result in the prior year benefitted from the receipt of dividends totalling £60,219,000 from a subsidiary, with no dividend income of £nil received during 2021.
The directors of International Personal Finance plc manage the Group's risks at a Group level, rather than at an individual business unit level. For this reason, the company's directors believe that a discussion of the Group's risks would not be appropriate for an understanding of the development, performance or position of the company's business. The principal risks and uncertainties of International Personal Finance plc, which include those of the company, are reported within the 'Principal risks and uncertainties' section of the Group's annual report, which does not form part of this report, but is publicly available. However, the company has a number of specific risks;
· The company is subject to a risk of credit default on its intercompany debtor balances. The repayment is dependent on the performance of the counterparties which is reviewed on a regular basis. During the year these reviews have included consideration of the impact that volatility in macro-economic factors affecting the businesses, including the medium to long term impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, has had on the ability of counterparties to repay these balances in full on their maturity. Following this review the directors remain confident that the balances due can be recovered.
· The company has significant investments in other entities. There is a risk that the value of these investments may deteriorate as a result of the performance of these entities. Performance is reviewed on a regular basis and corrective action to protect the value of these investments is taken as appropriate. During the period, this review has included consideration of the potential impact of volatility in macro-economic factors affecting the businesses including the medium to long term impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the future cashflows and performance of the Company's investments. During the period there has been no impairment (2020; £nil). A shortfall in profitability compared to current expectations may result in future adjustments to investment in subsidiary balances.
Given the nature of the business, the company's directors are of the opinion that an analysis using. KPIs is not necessary for an understanding of the development, performance or position of the business.
As the company acts as a holding and investment company the general level of activity is to remain consistent in the forthcoming year.

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including FRS 101 "Reduced Disclosure Framework". Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

In our opinion the financial statements IPF Holdings Limited (the 'company'):
We have audited the financial statements of which comprise:
The financial reporting framework that has been applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 101 "Reduced Disclosure Framework" (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.
We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the Financial Reporting Council's (the 'FRC's') Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the financial statements is located on the FRC's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
We considered the nature of the company's industry and its control environment, and reviewed the company's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to fraud and compliance with laws and regulations. We also enquired of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates in, and identified the key laws and regulations that:
We discussed among the audit engagement team regarding the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements.
In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management overide. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified any material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report.
Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report in respect of the following matters if, in our opinion:
We have nothing to report in respect of these matters.
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company 's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

* During the year the company declared and paid a dividend of £68.30 per ordinary share.
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year, unless otherwise stated.
IPF Holdings Limited "the company" is a private company limited by shares incorporated and registered in England and Wales in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act. The address of the registered office is given in note 16. The nature of the company's operations and its principal activity are set out in the strategic report on page 1.
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with FRS 101 (Financial Reporting Standard 101) 'Reduced Disclosure Framework' as issued by the Financial Reporting Council.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historic cost basis.
The functional and presentational currency of the company is pounds sterling.
These financial statements are separate financial statements. The company is exempt from the preparation of consolidated financial statements, because it is included in the Group financial statements of International Personal Finance plc. Details of the parent in whose consolidated financial statements the company is included are shown in note 16 to the financial statements.
As permitted by FRS 101, exemptions from applying the following requirements have been adopted: IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures"; IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows; IAS 24; "Related Party Disclosures" paragraph 7; IAS 8 "Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" paragraphs 30-31and IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets" paragraphs 134(d)-(f) and 135 (c)-(e).
The Group financial statements of International Personal Finance plc are available to the public and can be obtained as set out in note 16.
b) Revenue
Revenue represents the amounts receivable from fellow subsidiary undertakings in respect of the provision of business know-how and services and is recognised when such services are rendered to its fellow subsidiary undertakings.
Administrative expenses represent costs incurred in the development and strategic management of the overseas business units of International Personal Finance ple and are recognised on an accruals basis.
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are expressed, in sterling, at the rates of exchange ruling at the end of the financial year or the contracted rate to the extent that they are hedged. Resultant gains or losses are taken to the profit and loss account.
Deferred taxation is provided in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date and is determined using the average tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is regarded as more likely than not that they will be recovered. Deferred taxation is not recognised on revalued assets unless there is a binding agreement at the balance sheet date to sell the revalued asset and the related gain has been recognised in the financial statements. Deferred taxation balances are not discounted.
Current tax is calculated based on taxable profit or loss for the year using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Where withholding tax has been suffered on overseas income received, it has been accounted for as overseas tax. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and the Group intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The company undertakes an annual impairment review of investments in subsidiaries, which is performed by way of a comparison of the carrying value of the investment with the net assets of the subsidiary, or the future value in use. Where the carrying value is greater than the net assets or future value in use, a provision for impairment is made.
Fixed assets are measured at cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment. Depreciation of tangible fixed assets has been calculated by reference to the expected usual lives of the assets concerned. The following are the principal annual bases:
| Percent | Basis | |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment, including computers | 10 - 33.33% | Straight line |
| Leasehold improvements | 10% | Straight line |
Where fixed assets become obsolete, or suffer impairment in value, provision is made in the profit and loss account where necessary.
The company receives dividends from Group undertakings which are recognised in the profit and loss account on an accruals basis.
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains at lease at the inception of the contract. The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (such as tablets and personal computers, small items of office furniture and telephones). For these leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease or, where this rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Interest income represents interest receivable on certain Group balances and bank deposits and is recognised on an accruals basis.
This represents the interest payable on certain Group balances. This was accounted for on an accruals basis.
1) Going concern
The directors have, at the time of approving the Financial Statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future (12 months from the date of these Financial Statements). Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in the Financial Statements. Further detail is contained in the Strategic Report on page 1.
Exceptional m)
The company classifies as exceptional those significant items that are one-off in nature and do not reflect the underlying performance of the company.
Cash and cash equivalents n)
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand.
0) Debtors and Creditors
Debtors and creditors do not carry interest and are stated at amortised cost as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. They are recognised when the Group's right to consideration is only conditional on the passage of time. Allowances incorporate an expectation of life-time credit losses from initial recognition and are determined using an expected credit loss approach.
In the application of the company's accounting policies, which are described in note 1, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The directors deem that the only significant critical judgement are regarding the carrying value of investments in subsidiaries and the impairment of its intragroup receivable balances.
The directors monitor the carrying values of all investments in subsidiaries by reference to a Value in Use model. This compares expected future cashflows, discounted at the Group cost of funding of 10% (2020: 10%), to the value of the investment and results in impairment charges where the carrying value exceeds the Value in Use. During the period, this review has included consideration of the potential impact of volatility in macro-economic factors affecting the businesses including the medium to long term impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the future cashflows and performance of the Company's investments. Following this review, the directors concluded that no impairment losses were required as at 31 December 2021 (2020: fini).
The company's debtor balances are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. In assessing the recoverability of these balances, the directors are required to make estimates about the ability of counterparties to repay these loans in full on their maturity and the quantum of expected credit losses that the company expects to incur. As at 31 December 2021, the directors have an expectation that all outstanding balances will be repaid in full on their maturity and expected credit losses of £nil (2020: £mil) have therefore been recognised within the company's financial statements. In reaching their conclusions, the directors have considered the financial performance of the company's counterparties during 2021, the financial position of the company's counterparties as at 31 December 2021 and the impact that volatility in macro-economic factors affecting the businesses, including the medium to long term impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, may have on the ability of counterparties to repay these balances in full on their maturity.
