Accounting policies (continued)

Group accounts not prepared

The financial statements contain information about Imerys Talc UK Holding Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group.

The company is exempt under section 401 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its subsidiary undertakings are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of Imerys SA, a company incorporated in France. The financial statements of Imerys SA can be obtained from the following address:

.

Going concern

It is the intention of the director to liquidate the company within 12 months of approval of these financial statements, following the successful liquidation of the company's only remaining subsidiary company. The steps will involve a capital reduction, and a dividend in specie of its distributable reserves to its parent company. The company will then be wound up. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. Where appropriate, the balance sheet was reviewed to ensure assets were written down to net realisable value, and provisions made for commitments that were onerous at the balance sheet date. No material adjustments arose as a result of these changes.

Tax

Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense
recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive
income.
The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates
and generates taxable income.

The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.

Investments

Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

The carrying values of the investments are reviewed periodically by considering the net asset values of the investments at the end of their respective accounting periods or their most recent operating profit and an estimate of future profitability.

Financial instruments

Classification
The company holds the following financial instruments:

• Short term other debtors and creditors; and
• Intercompany loans.

All financial instruments are classified as basic.

 Recognition and measurement
The company has chosen to apply the recognition and measurement principles in FRS102.

Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.

Except for intercompany loans, such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.

Intercompany loans are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Audit report

The Independent Auditors' Report was unqualified. We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial statement and the Director's Report on page 2 which explains that the Director intends to liquidate the company within the next 12 months and therefore do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern as described in Note 2. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. The name of the Senior Statutory Auditor who signed the audit report was Martin Hobbs, who signed for and on behalf of PKF Francis Clark on 17 September 2025.
