OXERRA UK LIMITED
STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The company imports and distributes iron oxide pigments for use by the coatings, speciality and construction industries, this is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. During 2023 Oxerra UK has also sold manufactured inorganic pigments on behalf of Oxerra Pigments UK Limited.
The company made a profit after taxation of £442,000 (2022: £923,000). Turnover has increased by 73% to £24,016,000 due to supplying former Venator Pigments customers following the group acquisition of the business. Net assets at 31 December 2023 were £2,443,000 (2022: £1,997,000), the increase being as a result of the profit made by the company in the year. Trade Debtors have increased by £1,737,000 to £4,266,000 as a result of the increased trade. Total internal and external trade creditors have increased by £239,000 to £514,000, again due to an increase in trade.
Development and performance Sales Q1 2023 continued to be robust across all key market sectors notably the Construction, Coatings and Plastics Industry. The business's overall market position was further strengthened by the acquisition of Venator's Colour Pigments business 1st April 2023 expanding Oxerra UK's product offering with the addition of two UK based manufacturing sites producing Pigment Disperions and Complex Inorganic Colour Pigments. This expanded portfolio of products opened up new markets for the UK business and enabled a strong sales performance despite a slow down in the UK market 2nd half 2023.
The company's principal financial assets are accounts receivable balances from customers and amounts due from fellow group undertakings. The company has policies and procedures in place to limit the risks associated with non payment of customer receipts. The company holds the majority of its receivable balances with trade debtors and, as at the reporting date, there are no cash and cash equivalent balances held with financial institutions. As a result, the directors consider that credit risk is limited. The company sells in foreign currencies and is therefore exposed to some foreign exchange risk; this risk is partially mitigated through purchases in foreign currencies and foreign currency exchange at a group level.
Oxerra's key performance indicators allow the business to measure both the financial value created for its stakeholders and the strategic value in growing the business and delivering on its purpose. The directors consider that the company has the following financial KPI's as a measure of its performance and position:
2023 2022 Change £'000 £'000 % Revenues 24,016 13,850 73% Operating Profit 470 1,141 -59% Profit After Tax 442 923 -52% Equity Shareholders' Funds 2,445 2,003 22%
This report was approved by the board on 12 July 2024 and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OXERRA UK LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Oxerra UK Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, 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 Auditors' 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 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 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.
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The Directors are 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OXERRA UK LIMITED (CONTINUED)
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.

OXERRA UK LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OXERRA UK LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Auditors' 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:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity and determined that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, the reporting framework of the Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and UK taxation legislation. We understood how the company was complying with those frameworks through discussions with management and those charged with governance. Where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk. Based on our understanding of the entity and its environment we identified the following areas as key risks and designed our audit approach as detailed to ensure material misstatements and irregularities would be detected in these areas: Management over-ride: We undertook testing of controls and systems to gain assurance these have been operating as expected during the period. We also performed journal testing to test the efficacy of journals posted during the period. Additionally, we have reviewed the disclosures in the accounts and the Directors report to ensure they agree with our findings from the audit testing carried out. Related parties: Our testing in this area has followed the requirements of ISA 550 (UK). We have issued the Directors with related party declarations to fill out and sign and have compared the information gathered against our knowledge and used this as one way for identifying potential related party disclosures. We have reviewed the disclosure in the financial statements and ensured this agrees with our findings from our audit work. Revenue recognition: The main area of risk identified with Income recognition lies with cut off and completion of income. To ensure this is not materially misstated or manipulated we have carried out substantive testing on income cut off and completion. Stock: The main risk area in terms of stock is stock valuation. Substantive testing will be carried out on the stock balance to ensure it is not materially misstated.
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. This 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 Auditors' Report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Oxerra UK Limited, formally Cathay Industries (UK) Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address are shown below:
Registered number: 02414292 Registered office address: Liverpool Road East, Kidsgrove, Stoke-On-Trent, England, ST7 3AA Oxerra UK Limited meets the definition of a qualifying entity under FRS 102 and has therefore taken advantage of the disclosure exemptions availale to it in respect of its financial statements. Exemptions have been taken in relation to presentation of a cash flow statement, financial instruments, intra-group transactions and remuneration of key management personnel.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The Company is a parent company that is also a subsidiary included in the consolidated financial statements of a larger group by a parent undertaking established under the law of any part of the United Kingdom and is therefore exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements under section 400 of the Companies Act 2006.
The directors have gained assurances from the ultimate parent undertaking, Cathay Pigments (Holdings) Limited, that continued financial support will be provided.
The ultimate parent company has shown its commitment to the directors that it will provide continuous and sufficient financial resources to the company for the forseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months from approval of these financial statements. This will ensure liabilities are met as they fall due and will enable Oxerra UK Limited to carry on its business. The Board of Directors have concluded that the business will continue to demonstrate strong sales growth and increased levels of profitability throughout 2023. Demand for the company's products across all key market sectors (construction, coatings, plastics & specialities) remains strong and is further supported by the development and introduction of new technology and product ranges. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that: • The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and • Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met. Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The recognition of deferred tax assets is based on forecasts of future taxable profit. The measurement of future taxable profit for the purpose of determining whether or not to recognise deferred tax assets depends on many factors, including the company's ability to generate such profits and the implementation of effective tax planning strategies. The occurrence or non-occurence of such events in the future may lead to significant changes in the measurement of deferred tax assets.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
Computer software is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of five years.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
The Company adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
The Company has elected to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as adopted by the UK Endorsement Board) with the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12 and the other presentation requirements of FRS 102.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance Sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with 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 trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, 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.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly

traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instruments any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Other financial instruments
Derivatives, including forward exchange contracts, futures contracts and interest rate swaps, are not classified as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into, with costs being charged to the profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the profit or loss.
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions as set out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through the profit or loss. This recognition and measurement would also apply to financial instruments where the performance is evaluated on a fair value basis as with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Derecognition of financial instruments
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are

settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The directors have not made any critical accounting judgements in the process of applying the company's accounting policies, that could have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the parent company Financial Statements.
