The Directors present their strategic report for the Year Ended 31st December 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The Perpetua Group acts as an integrated private Family Office for a multi-generational Family, with offices in London, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Barbados.

Through its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Group provides a number of professional services, including investment and property management, philanthropy services, tax services, accounting and administration, advisory and support and the provision of office and technology services.

The Directors use a number of financial and non-financial key performance indicators to evaluate the performance of the group as a whole, one of which is EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization) which for the year was a profit of £1,674,794 for 2024 (2023: £939,128),

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Group operates a risk management framework that helps identify and manage various risks. The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group as a whole are the continuity of client contracts, the threat of cybercrime and the foreign exchange risks associated with the various different jurisdictions in which it operates. These risks are managed by the relevant experts within the Group.

The future of the Group is strongly linked to the continuity of its client relationships. As such, strategy, relationship management, service levels, culture, diversity, succession planning and the development of people are key to the success of the Group.

STRATEGY AND FUTURE PLANNING

Strategy and continuity are key to the success of the group.

The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 31 December 2024 will be £ 135,000 .

DONATIONS

The group made charitable donations of £31. However, the group as a whole sponsored a wide range of activities and made various charitable donations across the four jurisdictions that it is in involved in including sponsorship of local football teams and children's activities.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

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 group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Lawes and Co, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Board Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

S Pallister - Director

29 September 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Perpetua Family Office Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of the group's profit 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 group 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 group's and the parent 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group 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 group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group 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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

-	the parent company 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 three, 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent 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.

We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. This includes assessing the risk of non-compliance of laws and regulations, evaluating management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including override of control) and management bias in accounting estimates.

Based on our understanding of the entity and its environment, we identified the principal risks of non-compliance and fraud related to revenue recognition, including cut-off and related party transactions . We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team, included, but were not limited to:

- enquiries with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations

- reviewing post-year end information and transactions around the year end

- reviewing journal entries and any potential unusual transactions

- carrying out analytical review procedures

- Enquiries with component auditors of the group

- Reviewing processes surrounding the consolidation and tracing figures used

In conducting the work above, we apply due care and professional scepticism throughout. However, there are limitations within procedures outlined above and the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error as fraud may involve deliberate concealment.

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

Perpetua Family Office 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 General Information page.

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" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Perpetua Family Office Limited and all of the entities that are controlled by Perpetua Family Office Limited.

The consolidated accounts are prepared in accordance with the group's accounting principles from the date the Group exercises control or influence over the company.

Intra-group balance and transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Related party exemption

The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements.

Significant judgements and estimates

Income Tax

The Group annually pays amounts of income taxes payable to various jurisdictions around the world, and it also recognises changes in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, all of which are based on management's interpretations of applicable laws and regulations.

Estimations

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable.

Useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

The useful life of assets are based on management estimate. Management considered the impact of technology, service requirements and required return on assets in order to determine the optimum useful life expectations. The estimate of residual values of assets is based on managements judgement.

Going Concern

The Annual Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Presentation Currency

The Annual Financial statements are presented in Sterling (GBP)

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration earned, net of trade discounts and sales taxes.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the group's share of the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill arising on business combinations is capitalized, classified as an asset on the balance sheet and amortized on a straight line basis over its useful life. Goodwill is written off over 10 years. The directors believe that this recognizes a true and fair view of the state of affairs.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Computer software is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of four years.

Tangible fixed assets

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

Long leasehold - 25% Straight line

Plant and Machinery - 25% Straight line

Fixture and Fittings - 25% Straight line

Motor Vehicles - 25% Straight line

Investments in subsidiaries

Investment in subsidiary undertakings are recognized at fair value.

PPM Mount Street and PPM Bournemouth were both dissolved on 7th January 2025.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, 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

The Company's presentational currency is sterling. The results and financial position of all subsidiaries and associates that have a functional currency different from sterling are translated into sterling as follows:

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction or the average rate has been used. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

The functional currencies of the non UK subsidiaries are Swiss Francs and Barbadian Dollars.

The closing Swiss Franc exchange rate was 0.88095 to £1 and the average rate was 0.8890 to £1.

The closing Barbadian Dollar exchange rate was 0.3995 to £1 and the average rate was 0.3913 to £1.

Leasing commitments

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Investments

Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value through profit and loss if the shares are publicly traded.

Other investments are measured at cost less impairment.

The company's investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment.

Debtors and creditors

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.

Loan and borrowings

Loan and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value.
