OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives for the public benefit
The objects of the charity are:
-
1) The advancement of religion in accordance with the orthodox Jewish faith;
-
2) The relief of poverty, and
-
3) For such other purposes as are recognised by English law as charitable
To achieve the objects, the charity makes grants to various charitable organisations and institutions that accord with the objectives of the charity. These grants are regularly monitored to ensure compliance with the objects of the charity.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities, and setting the grant making policy for the year.
Grantmaking policy
In general, the trustees select the institutions to be supported according to their personal knowledge of work of the institutions. All applications are carefully considered, discreetly and with sympathy and help is given according to circumstances and funds then available.
STRATEGIC REPORT

The group's investment income is derived from directly held property investments, syndicated real estate holdings and interest receipts. Despite broader economic uncertainty, group investment income grew by 5%, while investment management costs fell by 5%. The charity maintained its philanthropic programme in supporting organisations whose purposes align with its own objectives. Grant expenditure remained in line with the previous year.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review
Investment policy and objectives
The group policy is for the subsidiary companies to pay over their profits, which would otherwise be liable to UK corporation tax, to Rontades Limited by way of gift aid. As a result, the charity's reserves have increased considerably over the years. The charity's policy is to make loans to its subsidiaries at a variable rate of interest. This enables them to acquire and develop properties and thereby generate profits.
As well as the trustees' expertise in selecting suitable profitable investments with good growth prospects and rental yields, the charity uses RICS qualified and other professional advisors.
Reserves policy
The charity holds sufficient reserves to be able to respond to calls from charitable organisations, to commit to further investment as appropriate and to meet calls for funds from its subsidiaries.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate those risks.
It is the policy of the trustees to carry out a risk review before granting loans, purchasing property or investing in syndicates; the associated risks are carefully considered and reviewed regularly.
Future plans
The trustees anticipate that the charity will continue on a similar basis in the foreseeable future. The trustees are able to control the charity’s grant making and as such believe the charity will continue as a going concern.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
Rontades Limited is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 20 May 1982.
Organisational structure
The trustees are responsible for the day to day running of the charity. The power to appoint new trustees is vested in the continuing board. It is not the intention of the trustees of the charity to appoint any new trustees. Should the situation change in the future, the trustees will apply suitable recruitment, induction and training procedures in accordance with the Charity Commission's guidelines.
All trustees give their time voluntarily and no benefit or expenses were paid to them in the year.
Group structure
The charity has the following non-charitable operating subsidiaries:
| Company Hiltona Limited Ironhawk Limited Twillam Limited |
Company Registration Number 02877741 01885811 01621763 |
Percentage Shareholding 100% 100% 100% |

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Related parties
Details of transactions with Related Parties are disclosed in Note 20 to the Financial Statements.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Rontades Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and 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".
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
-- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
-- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
-- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statement;
-
-- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Sugarwhite Meyer Accountants Ltd, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF RONTADES LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Rontades Limited (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiaries (‘the group’) for the year ended 30 June 2025 which comprises the Group Statement of Financial Activities, the Group and Parent Charitable Company Balance Sheets, the Group Cash Flow Statement and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is 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'.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the parent charitable company's affairs as at 30 June 2025 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'; 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 charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; 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 TRUSTEES OF RONTADES LIMITED
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities set out on page four, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 trustees 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 trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable 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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our 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 Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
In performing an audit, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
We also identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than one for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions misrepresentation or override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of charity's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.
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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', 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 group financial statements include the accounts of Rontades Limited, the accounts of its subsidiaries and any material transactions between the balance sheet date of each subsidiary and the balance sheet date of Rontades Limited.
Entities in which the company has a minority interest are accounted for under the equity accounting method.
Significant judgements and estimates
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts 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. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The valuation of investments properties is inherently subjective, depending on many factors, including the individual nature of each property, its location and expected future net rental values, market yields and comparable market transactions. Therefore, the valuations are subject to a degree of uncertainty and are made on the basis of assumptions which may not prove to be accurate, particularly in periods of difficult market or economic conditions.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where cost cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Support costs are those incurred to assist the work of the charity but are not direct charitable activities.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES Balance at beginning of the year Charge/(credit) for the year Balance at end of the year |
|
|---|---|
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of timing differences arising from the revaluation of fixed asset investments in the non-charitable subsidiary undertakings, net of any unrelieved tax losses as at the balance sheet date. Although the provision has been recognised in accordance with FRS 102, it is expected that any gains will be gifted to the parent charity for charitable purposes and such tax should not become payable.
There are no deferred tax provisions for the parent charitable company as it is exempt from tax due to its charitable status on the basis that all income and gains will be applied solely for qualifying charitable purposes.
