The director presents his strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 30 June 2026.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

Over the twelve months to the end of June 2026, our discretionary funds under management rose by +17.3%, sharply ahead of our core benchmark. The group generated a profit after tax of £152,863 for the year. Commission revenue was lower than 2024-25, which was abnormally high due to significant sales before CGT rate rises. Stripping out this one-off boost shows that underlying pre-tax profits are driving ahead on the back of FUM growth and a higher number of flat-fee portfolios.

The arrival of Mark Smith has been an unalloyed success, but the onboarding of new clients invariably incurs costs before generating revenue. Matters are settling down and there has been a steady inflow since the end of March 2026. Higher employers NI contributions also contributed to higher costs. Execution-only FUM showed little change over the period, but healthy markets drove portfolios higher overall. Client money accounts continue to attract a decent rate of interest, whatever their balance. Our Client Portal continues to operate satisfactorily, allowing clients access to information about their portfolios and their cash balances at any time of the day.

Position of the group's business at the end of the year

We finished the year in rude financial health, once again, and profits will be applied to the benefit of key stakeholders, of whom colleagues are a significant part along with shareholders. A portion of profits will be ploughed back into the business, a long-standing policy which has contributed to our extremely healthy capital position.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Regulatory risk is the biggest single risk facing our sector. Compliance with a continually increasing regulatory burden remains a significant overhead for our business. We continue to manage this competently whilst ensuring that our approach does what it can to prevent this very real burden from becoming intolerable. Market risk is our second biggest risk, but as our service is to provide growth and income for our client base, we have to accept that it is always present. We mitigate it by the careful and continuous monitoring of portfolios and investments, including regular company meetings to supplement our in-house research, and daily in-house meetings to review and develop our investment strategy.

ESG

It has become best practice to include comments about ESG in our annual report and accounts. The principles underpinning ESG have been ones we have adhered to since taking over Maunby in 2007, and there was nothing new about them then. Decisions are made with long-term consequences in mind, which is borne out by the conservative manner in which Maunby has been run since 2007.

Balancing the interests of all shareholders with other stakeholders, of which employees are a key part, is automatic, Maunby paid dividends totalling £131,043 to its shareholder in the course of this year, £50,000 of which was then repaid to Maunby in order to reduce the intercompany loan between Maunby and its shareholder. Our discretionary bonus scheme has continued to operate for the benefit of colleagues. We continue to migrate towards electronic records where desirable and to invest in systems that reduce our use of paper, whether internally or in our communications with clients. We are aware that we have a good reputation with our key suppliers, and we work with them proactively to improve the services that they provide.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The team that joined us in 2025 have settled in satisfactorily, and Mark Smith, our new joiner in November 2025, has also made significant progress in the ensuing seven months.

We continue to see new discretionary business inflows generally, and we continue to explore new opportunities whether directly or through intermediaries. We have also continued to invest in our advisory business as we believe it has much to contribute over the coming years.

We continue to devote time towards attracting others with similar ethics and complementary expertise, not least because our clients benefit thereby. We recognise that our modest size, our flexibility and our personal touch set us apart from most of our competitors, and we have reason to believe that these factors will continue to attract clients and investment managers.

We continue to spend very little on marketing as we firmly believe that the long-established tendency for our clients to recommend us to their friends and acquaintances generates a steady stream of new clients already predisposed towards Maunby and its philosophy.

We believe that our core offering of competent investment management is a rare beast, as we cover a broad spectrum from bonds via equities to collectives, from ultra large-cap to AIM-listed micro-cap stocks, and wrapped in SIPPS, SSASs, ISAs, JISAs, and trusts of all hues as well as conventional accounts. We are always prepared to look at something new, but do so with an experienced, and on occasions rather jaundiced, eye.

Finally, we consider a long-term independent future for Maunby as being in our clients' interests, and that by growing the business organically Maunby remains both stronger and steadier.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

A M Furse - Director

19 October 2026

The director presents his report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 30 June 2026.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

The principal activity of the group in the year under review was that of management of investment portfolios of all kinds and the provision of personal financial advice where appropriate.

DIVIDENDS

The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 30 June 2026 is £81,043.

DIRECTOR

A M Furse held office during the whole of the period from 1 July 2025 to the date of this report.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES

The director is responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Director 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 United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director is 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 director is 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 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 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 director is 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 he 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.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

A M Furse - Director

19 October 2026

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Pepperrell Investments Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 June 2026 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 30 June 2026 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 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 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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 Director 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 Director 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 Director.

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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or

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

Responsibilities of director

As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on page four, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or has 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 group'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 procedures performed by the engagement team included:

-

Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims.

-

Enquiry of entity staff to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws 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 or 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.

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.

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

Pepperrell Investments 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.

The financial statements are prepared in Sterling which is the functional currency of the group and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

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.

The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertaking drawn up to 30 June each year.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Turnover

Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the Group in respect of services supplied during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax.

Turnover for investment management fees is based on an agreed percentage of the market value of the funds under management and is recognised on an accruals basis.

Turnover for commissions is recognised at the same time as the relevant transaction is completed.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiary undertakings and businesses, representing any excess of the fair value of the consideration given over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, is capitalised and written off on a straight line basis over its useful economic life, which is ten years. Provision is made for any impairment.

Tangible fixed assets

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

Motor vehicles

-

10% on cost

Computer equipment

-

20% on cost and 10% on cost

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.

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 cost which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value through profit or loss if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably.

Debtors and creditors receivable/ payable within one year

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 administrative expenses.
