Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 28 February 2025

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 28 February 2025.

Principal activity

The principal activity of the company is the formulation, manufacture and distribution of polyurethane and epoxy polymer systems. The polymeric systems are used in encapsulating, casting, potting, adhering, sealing and binding processes. Customers operate in many industrial segments including manufacturing, construction, decorative, sport and safety surfacing. Further information is available at www.stockmeier-urethanes.com.

Fair review of the business

The company uses a range of financial and non-financial indicators to measure the performance of the business. Financial Key Performance indicators include turnover, gross margin and net profit.
Overall, a robust year; whilst turnover decreased by 12% to £10.3m as compared to the previous reporting period, gross margin, as a percentage of sales increased by 4.2%. The resultant gross profit therefore increased by 4% on the prior year. These changes reflect the stabilisation in global chemical pricing and a proportionately higher reduction in lower margin product sales compared to the previous year. With inflation remaining high for most of the year the overheads increased by 11.6%. Total net profit before tax was £1.08m which, although slightly down on the previous year, is still a healthy profit.
The balance sheet continues to be strong with over £1.8m cash at bank, and shareholder’s funds increasing slightly to £4.23m.

Directors' Report
for the Year Ended 28 February 2025 (continued)

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, Directors’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have 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 directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

• | select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

• | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• | state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Disclosure of information to the auditors

Each director has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. The directors confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the auditors are unaware.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Stockmeier Urethanes UK Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Stockmeier Urethanes UK Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 28 February 2025, which comprise the Profit and Loss Account (incorporating the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings), Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and 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 company's affairs as at 28 February 2025 and of its 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 auditor 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 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were 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.

Stockmeier Urethanes UK Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Stockmeier Urethanes UK Limited (continued)

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s 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 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.

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 Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

• | the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our 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 and the Directors' Report.

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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
• | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
• | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
• | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities [set out on page 5], the directors 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 directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Stockmeier Urethanes UK Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Stockmeier Urethanes UK Limited (continued)

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the 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 directors either intend to liquidate the company or cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's 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 an auditor’s 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.

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 company and determined that the most significant are those that relate to:
i) Laws and regulations generally recognized to have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements:
• The financial operating framework FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
• The Companies Act 2006
• Tax legislations - various
• Employment law
• Pension Prudential Regulation Authority
ii) Laws and regulations which provides the legal framework within which the company conducts its business and which is central to the company’s ability to conduct its business:
• ISO:9001 2015 certification
We assessed the risks of material misstatement in respect of fraud through:
i) enquiries with management and those charged with governance
ii) the audit team initial discussions on fraud to identify particular areas that were susceptible to misstatement
Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations identified above.
The audit team was assessed to have the appropriate competence and capability to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulation.

Stockmeier Urethanes UK Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Stockmeier Urethanes UK Limited (continued)

Our approach to understanding the company’s policies and procedures for compliance with those laws and regulations and to gaining an understanding of how instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or knowledge of actual, suspected, or alleged fraud is documented was via enquiry with management.
We corroborated our enquiries through:
i) review of correspondence with HMRC and Companies House (and their respective websites)
ii) review of correspondence from the pension regulator
iii) review of relevant regulatory websites
iv) review of signed agreements / contracts
Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify and to address material misstatements in relation to fraud. The audit tests implemented involved checks with compliance on various company and employment laws and regulations.
Where there was considered to be a lack of segregation of duty, systems of controls in place were verified through observation and enquiry and substantive testing.
We considered the risk of fraud through management override and, in response, we incorporated testing of manual journal entries and accounting estimates into our audit approach. Any unusual transactions were investigated further and relevant documentary evidence obtained where deemed necessary.
We considered the risk of fraud through the selection and application of accounting policies by the company, particularly those related to subjective measurements and complex transactions, which may be indicative of fraudulent financial reporting resulting from management’s effort to manage earnings. In response, in our audit approach we reviewed the application of accounting policies, in particular those associated with accounting estimates, for reasonableness and correct application within the financial statements.
Audit test sample selection process involves random selection to incorporate an element of unpredictability in the selection of audit procedures.
Based on our approach and procedures in place explained above, we can provide reasonable assurance that any irregularities, including fraud, would likely be detected. 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 irregularities.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is always a risk that we will not detect all irreglarities, 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 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.

Stockmeier Urethanes UK Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Stockmeier Urethanes UK Limited (continued)

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

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 an auditor’s report 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.

Changes in accounting estimate

Depreciation of buildings

In the current financial year, the company has reviewed its depreciation policy in accordance with FRS102 and has made a change in its accounting estimate related to the depreciation rate applied to buildings. The company expects that the new depreciation rate will more accurately reflect the remaining useful lives of the assets going forward and will also better align with group policies.
With effect from 1 March 2024 the depreciation on buildings has been revised from not being depreciated to a rate of 4% per annum on a straight line basis. This change is considered a change in accounting estimate and has been recognised prospectively. As a result of the change, the depreciation expense for the current financial year has increased by £28,964 which has resulted in a lower net book value for land and buildings at the year end.

Revenue recognition

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into the respective functional currency of the entity at the rates prevailing on the reporting period date. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at operating profit.

Tax

Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit (or loss) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements and on unused tax losses or tax credits in the company. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
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.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost (or deemed cost) less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class | Depreciation method and rate
Land | not depreciated
Buildings | 4% per annum on a straight line basis
Leasehold property improvements | 25% per annum on a straight line basis
Plant and machinery | 25% per annum on a straight line basis
Fixtures, fittings and equipment | 25% per annum on a straight line basis
Motor vehicles | 25% per annum on a straight line basis

Amortisation

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:

Asset class | Amortisation method and rate
Computer software | 25% per annum on a straight line basis

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Stock levels are maintained using the first in first out method and cost is determined using a rolling weighted average for all stock items held.
Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.
