0 0 Imerys Minerals Holding Limited 07640343 false 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 2024-12-31 The principal activity of the company is that of a holding Company. Certain subsidiaries of the Imerys Group, which operate its talc business in North America, are among the defendants in the actions brought before several U.S. federal and state courts by multiple plaintiffs. The Company held 100% of the shares of Imerys Talc America, Inc before disposing of the investment in December 2021. On 13 February 2019, after evaluating a range of possible options, the three talc subsidiaries of Imerys, among which Imerys Talc America, filed for Chapter 11 bankcruptcy in the US. Due to this the directors are planning to tidy up the group structure by striking off Imerys Minerals Holding Limited within the next 12 months.

Going concern

It is the intention of the director to voluntarily apply to the Registrar of Companies for the company to be struck off within 12 months of approval of these financial statements. The steps will involve settling intercompany creditor balances where required. The company will then be struck off. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. Where appropriate, the balance sheet was reviewed to ensure liabilities were held as current, and provisions made for commitments that were onerous at the balance sheet date. No material adjustments arose as a result of these changes.

Accounting policies (continued)

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.

Financial instruments

Classification
The company holds the following financial instruments:

• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Intercompany loans; and
• Cash and bank balances.

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 of the financial statements and the Director's Report on page 2 which explains that the Director intends to strike off the company within the next 12 months and therefore does 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.
