The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

Monika Spruth & Philomene Magers Limited operates a gallery for contemporary art in Central London's Mayfair since 2006. The company exhibits and sells works by artists it primarily represents on the Primary Market. It currently works with over 70 artists and estates. The gallery continues to work with mid-career artists such as Thomas Demand and Sterling Ruby and regularly expands its programme with emerging younger artists such as Cao Fei, Anne Imhof and Mire Lee.

The year 2024 began with solo exhibitions by David Maljkovic and Thea Djordjadze on several floors at 7A Grafton Street, followed by solo exhibitions with John Baldessari and Barbara Kruger and shows by Gary Hume, Salvo & Andreas Schulze, and Anthony McCall.

The results for the company show a pre-tax profit/(loss) of £(1,748,917) (prior period £334,313) for the year on sales of £11,114,643 (prior period £17,652,318).

Following the cancellation of many physical art fairs and exhibitions in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic, the art market gradually recovered between 2021 and 2022, before declining again in 2023. This downward trend continued in 2024, with the total UK art market value decreasing by around 5% and the global market falling by as much as 12%. Although transaction volumes increased, this growth was driven primarily by more affordable segments and the expansion of online sales, leading to a significantly sharper decline in our specific market segment.

As a result, revenue decreased by £6.5m (-37%). Consequently, gross margin also declined, albeit slightly less sharply, by £2.2m (-31%), resulting in a gross margin of £1.7m (15% of sales). Gross margin came under pressure, falling by 7 percentage points compared to the previous year, primarily due to relatively higher logistics, production, and exhibition costs. Administrative and other operating costs remained stable at around £3.6m; however, gross profit was insufficient to fully cover these expenses, leading to a loss for 2024.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The key business risks and uncertainties affecting the business are considered to be:

Economic risk

The UK and world economic uncertainties represents a global rather than an individual risk to the business. Investment in art continues to be strong, despite the Brexit uncertainties for the UK economy, with investors continuing to be drawn to the long term returns potential. The deteriorating global economic outlook from past years may well create uncertainties in the development of the art market, the effects of which could still impact the future year end results.

Financial risk

The company maintains funds in US dollars and Euros in addition to Sterling. Where possible the company attempts to match the currency of purchase and sale for each sale transaction to minimise the exposure to currency fluctuations. The company does not enter into any forward foreign currency transactions or hedging to minimise exchange rate risk further.

Pricing Risk

Demand and trends in the art market have a particularly significant impact upon the purchasing and selling price of the owned art stock. The company utilises its resources to promote and maintain demand for works by its roster of artists.

The company generates cash and therefore does not have any significant liquidity exposure.

POSITION OF THE COMPANY AT THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

The company continues to report a strong balance sheet position at its financial year end. It maintained healthy reserves and an excess of current assets over current liabilities. Despite the global economic uncertainties, the company is in a strong financial position as it enters 2025.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The company measures its financial performance by growth in turnover and profitability, the volume of orders at the art fairs, and profit margin.

Compared to the previous year, sales declined sharply in 2024. Gross profitability was further pressured by rising costs across all areas, despite ongoing cost-control measures.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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). 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 company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

-	select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-	make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

-	prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

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.

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Cube Partners Limited, Statutory Auditor, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

Mrs I K VonSengerUndEtterlin - Director

29 September 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Monika Spruth & Philomene Magers Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income (including P&L account), Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

-	give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its loss for the year then ended;

-	have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

-	have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

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 Auditors' 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 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.

Conclusions relating to going concern

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.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in 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 misstatement in the financial statements 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

-	the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

-	the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

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 material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

-	adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

-	the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

-	certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

-	we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, 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 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.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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 a Report of the Auditors 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We considered the central laws and regulations to the entity and identified those of significance to the entity. The significant laws and regulations include UK company law, UK tax law, and health and safety at work regulations. We undertook an enquiry of management and those charged with governance to evaluate those of significance and any instances of non-compliance.

Through discussion, and where appropriate, written representation, we obtained an understanding of the entity’s policies and procedures on fraud risks, including knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud.

Where necessary documentation scrutiny was used to determine the significance of any instances of non-compliance of central laws and regulations.

We communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

The risk of management override of controls and understatement of revenue were identified to have the greatest risk of material misstatement from irregularities, including fraud, on the financial statements. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of regularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing of regulatory correspondence and professional fees, detailed substantive testing on the completeness of income, and reviewing accounting estimates for biases.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors.

Use of our report

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 a Report of the Auditors 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 and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Monika Spruth & Philomene Magers 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

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland", the UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Despite the company reporting a trading loss during the year the company still has strong retained earnings and a positive cash balance. The directors have assessed the company's future trade and funding position, and have concluded that no material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Post year end trading results are positive and the company is on track to record a profit in 2025.

Turnover and income recognition

Turnover represents sales of goods, excluding value added tax, during the year. Income from the sale of works of art and other sundry items is recognised in the period in which the sale is contractually agreed with the customer.

Tangible fixed assets

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

Short leasehold

-

Over the term of the lease

Improvements to property

-

Over the term of the lease

Plant and machinery

-

20% on cost

Fixtures and fittings

-

20% on cost

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Stocks

Stocks consist of works of art held for resale. These are stated at the lower of cost and the directors' opinion of estimated selling price less selling costs.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (including P&L account), except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

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 measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Foreign currencies denominated

Monetary assets and liabilities, in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences arising from the settlement of transactions and at the year end are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

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.

Financial instruments

The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties and loans with related parties.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an assets carrying amount and the best estimate, which is an approximation, of the amount that the company would receive for the asset if it were sold at the reporting date.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is an enforcible right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Operating leases

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

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably met.

Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

3.	CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the accountancy policies, management have been required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions. These estimates which relate to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, where not readily available from other sources are based on underlying assumptions and experience. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and assumptions are viewed on an on-going basis.The significant estimates and judgements are as follows:

(i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. These are re-assessed annually and amended when necessary to reflect current estimates and judgements.

(ii) Stock

The impairment of stock is considered annually by the directors on an item by item basis. Where necessary a write down provision is applied based upon an estimation of realisable value.
