| Report of the Members |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| The members present their report with the financial statements of the LLP for the year ended 31 March 2025. |
| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
| The principal activity of the LLP in the year under review was that of the provision of investment management services. |
| The results for the year and the financial position at the year end were considered satisfactory by the members who expect growth in the foreseeable future. |
| DESIGNATED MEMBERS |
| The designated members during the year under review were: |
| RESULTS FOR THE YEAR AND ALLOCATION TO MEMBERS |
| The LLP is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The firm is a Collective Portfolio Management Investment Firm ("CPMI"). |
| The results for 2025 showed a decreased turnover of £1,611,194 (2024: £2,421,636 ). Cost of sales decreased to £340,935 (2024: £371,648). Administrative expenses decreased to £761,460 (2024: £878,094). This resulted in an operating profit of £513,738 (2024: £1,174,551) in the year to 31 March 2025. |
| Principal risks and uncertainties |
| The members have considered the risks that the value of the funds would fall. |
| The members have also considered inflationary pressures and the cost of living crisis which might impact the operating costs to the business. |
| MEMBERS' INTERESTS |
| Members' drawings, contributions and repayments |
| The members' drawing policy allows each member to draw a proportion of their profit share, subject to the cash requirements of the business. |
| A member's capital requirement is linked to the financing requirement of the limited liability partnership. There is no opportunity for appreciation of the capital subscribed. Just as incoming members introduce their capital at "par", so the retiring members are repaid their capital at "par". |
| MIFIDPRU 8 DISCLOSURE |
| Introduction |
| The Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA" or "regulator") in the Prudential sourcebook for MiFID Investment Firms in the FCA Handbook ("MIFIDPRU") sets out the detailed prudential requirements that apply to LTAS Capital LLP, ("LTAS" or the "Firm"). Chapter 8 of MIFIDPRU ("MIFIDPRU 8") sets out public disclosure rules and guidance with which the Firm must comply, further to those prudential requirements |
| LTAS is classified under MIFIDPRU as a small and non-interconnected MIFIDPRU investment firm ("SNI MIFIDPRU Investment Firm"). As such, the Firm is required by MIFIDPRU 8 to disclose information regarding its remuneration policy and practices. |
| The purpose of these disclosures is to give stakeholders and market participants an insight into the Firm’s culture and to assist stakeholders in making more informed decisions about their relationship with the Firm. |
| This document has been prepared by LTAS in accordance with the requirements of MIFIDPRU 8 and is verified by the Management Committee. Unless otherwise stated, all figures are as at the Firm’s 31 December financial year-end. |

| Report of the Members |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| Remuneration Policy and Practices |
| Overview |
| As an SNI MIFIDPRU Investment Firm, LTAS is subject to the basic requirements of the MIFIDPRU Remuneration Code (as laid down in Chapter 19G of the Senior management arrangements, Systems and Controls sourcebook in the FCA Handbook (“SYSC”)). The purpose of the remuneration requirements is to: |
| · Promote effective risk management in the long-term interests of the Firm and its clients; |
| · Ensure alignment between risk and individual reward; |
| · Support positive behaviours and healthy firm cultures; and |
| · Discourage behaviours that can lead to misconduct and poor customer outcomes. |
| The objective of LTAS’s remuneration policies and practices is to establish, implement and maintain a culture that is consistent with, and promotes, sound and effective risk management and does not encourage risktaking which is inconsistent with the risk profile of the Firm and the services that it provides to its clients. |
| In addition, LTAS recognises that remuneration is a key component in how the Firm attracts, motivates, and retains quality staff and sustains consistently high levels of performance, productivity, and results. As such, the Firm’s remuneration philosophy is also grounded in the belief that its people are the most important asset and provide its greatest competitive advantage. |
| LTAS is committed to excellence, teamwork, ethical behaviour, and the pursuit of exceptional outcomes for its clients. From a remuneration perspective, this means that performance is determined through the assessment of various factors that relate to these values, and by making considered and informed decisions that reward effort, attitude, and results. |
| Characteristics of the Firm’s Remuneration Policy and Practices |
| Remuneration at LTAS is made up of fixed and variable components. The fixed component is set in line with market competitiveness at a level to attract and retain skilled staff. Variable remuneration is paid on a discretionary basis and takes into consideration the Firm’s financial performance and the financial and nonfinancial performance of the individual in contributing to the Firm’s success. All staff members are eligible to receive variable remuneration. Financial performance at the firm level includes factors such revenue, expenditure and profit. Non-financial criteria include factors such as adding and retaining clients, productivity and efficiency increases, and generally contributing to the improvement and growth of the firm. |
| The fixed and variable components of remuneration are appropriately balanced: the fixed component represents a sufficiently high proportion of the total remuneration to enable the operation of a fully flexible policy on variable remuneration. This allows for the possibility of paying no variable remuneration component, which the Firm would do in certain situations, such as where the Firm’s profitability performance is constrained, or where there is a risk that the Firm may not be able to meet its capital or liquidity regulatory requirements. |
| Governance and Oversight |
| The Management Committee is responsible for setting and overseeing the implementation of LTAS’s remuneration policy and practices. In order to fulfil its responsibilities, the Management Committee: |
| · Is appropriately staffed to enable it to exercise competent and independent judgment on remuneration policies and practices and the incentives created for managing risk, capital, and liquidity. |
| · Prepares decisions regarding remuneration, including decisions that have implications for the risk and risk management of the Firm. |
| · Ensures that the Firm’s remuneration policy and practices take into account the public interest and the long-term interests of shareholders, investors, and other stakeholders in the Firm. |
| · Ensures that the overall remuneration policy is consistent with the business strategy, objectives, values, and interests of the Firm and of its clients. |
| LTAS’s remuneration policy and practices are reviewed annually by the Management Committee. |

| Report of the Members |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| STATEMENT OF MEMBERS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The members are responsible for preparing the Report of the Members and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Legislation applicable to limited liability partnerships requires the members to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the members have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under legislation applicable to limited liability partnerships the members 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 LLP and of the profit or loss of the LLP for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the members 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 LLP will continue in business. |
| The members are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the LLP's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the LLP and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs by the Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the LLP 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 members are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the LLP's auditors are unaware, and each member has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a member in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the LLP's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Anderson Barrowcliff Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE MEMBERS: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| LTAS Capital LLP |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of LTAS Capital LLP (the 'LLP') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Reconciliation of Members' Interests, 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 LLP's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its 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 as applied to LLPs by the Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008. |
| 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 LLP 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 members' 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 LLP'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 members with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The members are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Report of the Members, 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. |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs 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 |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| LTAS Capital LLP |
| Responsibilities of members |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Members' Responsibilities set out on page four, the members 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 members 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 members are responsible for assessing the LLP'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 members either intend to liquidate the LLP 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. 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. |
| Based on our understanding of the industry, we have considered applicable laws and regulations which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We considered management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to the posting of inappropriate manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias and any significant one-off or unusual transactions. |
| We discussed among the audit engagement team the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements. |
| Audit procedure performed by the engagement team included: |
| - Enquiry of management, those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims. |
| - Enquiry of management to identify any instances of non-compliance with law and regulations. |
| - Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. |
| - Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business. |
| - Revenue recognition; confirming revenue earning activities to supporting contractual and other documentation, and obtaining relevant evidence to gain assurance over the occurrence and accuracy of revenue and that revenue has been recognised in the correct period. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| 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. The 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| LTAS Capital LLP |
| Use of our report |
| This report is made solely to the LLP's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs by the Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the LLP'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 LLP and the LLP's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

| Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| LTAS Capital LLP is registered in England and Wales. The LLP's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page. |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| In the application of the limited liability partnership’s accounting policies, the members are 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 members have not identified any estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is all attributed to the one principal activity of the LLP. |
| Members' participating interests |
| Members' participation rights are the rights of a member against the LLP that arise under the members' agreement (for example, in respect of amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed remuneration and profits). |
| Members' participation rights in the earnings or assets of the LLP are analysed between those that are, from the LLP's perspective, either a financial liability or equity, in accordance with section 22 of FRS 102. A member's participation rights including amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed by members, for example members' capital, are classed as liabilities unless the LLP has an unconditional right to refuse payment to members, in which case they are classified as equity. |
| Once an unavoidable obligation has been created in favour of members through allocation of profits or other means, any undrawn profits remaining at the reporting date are shown as ‘Loans and other debts due to members’ to the extent they exceed debts due from a specific member. |
| Going concern |
| At the time of approving the financial statements, the members have a reasonable expectation that the limited liability partnership has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the members continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
| Given that the entity relies on income from their fund, the largest factor is the fact that the value of the fund was to fall to such an extent that the management fees would be too small to meet the entity’s commitments. Inflationary pressure is an additional risk as with last year which will also need to be considered. |

| Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale |
| proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the profit and loss account. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The LLP operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the LLP's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Classification of share of profits in the cash flow statement |
| The statement of cashflow is prepared to present cash flows from total operations, including cash flows from continuing and discontinued operations. |
| Impairment of fixed assets |
| At each reporting period end date, the limited liability partnership reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the limited liability partnership estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| 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. |
| Financial instruments |
| The limited liability partnership 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 limited liability partnership's statement of financial position when the limited liability partnership becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset and 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 |
| 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. |
| Investments |
| Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value through profit or loss if the fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. |

| Other financial assets |
| Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment. |
| Foreign currencies |
| The financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is also the functional currency of the company. Transactions in currencies, other than the functional currency of the company, are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date the transaction occurred. Monetary items denominated in other currencies are translated at the rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured at historic cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. |
| Impairment of financial assets |
| Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. |
| Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
| If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. |
| The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss. |
| Derecognition of financial assets |
| Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the limited liability partnership transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. |
| Classification of financial liabilities |
| 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 limited liability partnership after deducting all of its liabilities. |
| Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, 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 receipts 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. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge. |
| Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments may be designated as fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or reduce an accounting mismatch or if the instruments are measured and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. |
| Derecognition of financial liabilities |
| Financial liabilities are derecognised when the limited liability partnership’s obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. |
| Leases |
| Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. |
