STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The director presents his strategic report on the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024. The strategic report is consistent with the size and nature of the business and is written in the context of the risks and uncertainties the Company faces.
The principal activity of the company is that of art dealers.
The results reflect the Company's eighth trading year in London. Turnover was £36,490,450 (2023: £49,663,892), gross profit £9,989,258 (2023: £17,455,321) and profit before tax £2,668,872 (2023: £9,354,441). The drop in turnover reflected what has become an increasingly difficult period across the art market as it reacts to current uncertainties around economy, tariffs and sociopolitical upheavals. This has led to decreasing gross profit margins and increasing overheads across the industry. The Gallery has though has remained profitable in this climate, a reflection of its strong engagement with its customers and artists and close control over costs. The company's net asset position remained strong with net assets of £7,897,887 (2023: £13,179,716).
Exchange rate risk
The company is exposed to movement in foreign exchange rates as a result of transactions with both customers and suppliers. The Company manages these risks by maintaining foreign currency bank accounts. The company is also exposed to fluctuations in the value of art it holds as stock. Credit risk The credit risk is low with no bad debts, due to the majority of clients not receiving their art until full settlement has been received. Cash flow risk Liquidity and cash flow risks are managed by ensuring artworks are only dispatched once payment has been received, thereby mitigating the risk of non-payment and reducing working capital requirements. There is also sufficient cash at bank to manage any short term debts.
The director considers the key performance indicators of the Companys to be turnover, gross profit, profit for the year and net assets. These are disclosed in the business review and on pages 11 and 12 of the financial statements.
Other indicators include:
- Retention of key staff. Retaining skilled and knowledgeable staff including art curators, art consultants, and sales personnel is vital to maintaining strong client relationships and delivering a high-quality service. The gallery recognises the importance of incentivising and motivating its team and has implemented performance-based commission structures for sales staff. This initiative is designed both to drive sales performance and to support long-term staff retention by rewarding individual contribution with the gallery’s overall performance. The average number of staff remained steady at 23 in 2024 (2023: 23).

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The director presents his report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £1,847,886 (2023 -£7,023,929).
A dividend of £7,129,715 (2023: £9,392,665) was paid during the year.
The director who served during the year was:
In compliance with the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR), the company has provided calculations on its total UK energy use, associated greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), and intensity ratios for the year ending 31 December 2024. Previous years’ figures for GHG emissions and energy use are also provided. The methodology used to make calculations for emissions and energy follow the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
The company’s reporting boundary is based on operational control and includes its UK site in London. There is no company owned or leased fleet and there are no storage sites which fall within the company's operational control. Excluded are any energy usage and associated emissions consumed by other companies which operate on our behalf. There are no scope 1 emissions to report on, as the company does not account for transport fuel or natural gases. The building’s heating and cooling run on electricity only, and are therefore accounted for in scope 2. The company’s scope 2 emissions are calculated using the location-based approach, as market-based emissions are assumed to be identical due to the lack of provider-based detailed energy-mix data. The emission factors used for the calculations are based on the UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting for 2024 provided by DEFRA. The following sources of emissions were recorded: Purchased Electricity (Scope 2). The company's scope 1 and 2 energy use and GHG emissions associated with its UK operation for 2024 are outlined in the table below. The total site area in m2 occupied by the company was used as the denominator to calculate the associated energy intensity and GHG emission intensity ratios. Energy 2024 Energy Contribution to Total Energy Intensity Usage Consumption Energy Consumption (UK operations) [kWh] [%] [kWh / m2] Natural Gas 0,00 0% 0,00 Purchased Electricity 128,758.00 100% 85.84 Transport Fuel 0,00 0% 0,00 2024 total 128,758.00 100% 85.84 2023 total 153,475.60 100% 102.32 GHG 2024 GHG Emissions Contribution to Total CHG Emissions Intensity Emissions from UK operations Emissions (UK operations) [tCO2e] [%] [tCO2e / m2] Scope 1 0,00 0% 0.00 Scope 2 26.66 100% 0.02 2024 total 26.66 100% 0.02 2023 total 31.78 100% 0.02 The company is committed to reducing its energy consumption and carbon footprint, whilst complying with environmental laws.

DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Director's report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The director is 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 to enable him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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.

THADDAEUS ROPAC GALLERY LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THADDAEUS ROPAC GALLERY LIMITED
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
We have audited the financial statements of Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Profit and loss account, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, 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).
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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 director's 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 director 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 director is responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 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 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.

THADDAEUS ROPAC GALLERY LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THADDAEUS ROPAC GALLERY LIMITED (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
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.
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:
∙the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of companies of art galleries;
∙we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;
∙we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
∙identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
∙enquiries making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
∙considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
∙performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
∙tested a sample of journal entries to identify unusual transactions; and
∙investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
∙agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; and
∙enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards require that we identify non-compliance with laws and regulations through enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any, as well as any additional procedures deemed necessary.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

THADDAEUS ROPAC GALLERY LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company has elected to apply Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
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 Company after deducting all of its liabilities.
The Company’s policies for its major classes of financial assets and financial liabilities are set out below.
Financial assets
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances and intercompany working capital balances are initially recognised at transaction price, 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 for a similar debt instrument. Financing transactions are those in which payment is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate.
Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and loans from fellow group companies 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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financing transactions are those in which payment is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets 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 the asset's carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If the financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
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 and financial liabilities
Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an 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.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
