STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- 1 -

The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Background

Marblegrange Limited and its subsidiary undertakings are suppliers of paperboard, laminated chipboard and related packaging products, with more than 40 years of experience in the UK paper and packaging industry. The group’s principal trading company, Preston Board & Packaging Limited, was founded in 1981 by the current owners, David Hardman and Charles Ingham, and has established a strong reputation for product quality, technical expertise, reliability of supply and customer service.

The group is the last privately owned chipboard mill in the United Kingdom, a significant position within an industry that has experienced substantial consolidation over recent decades. This independence enables the group to maintain close relationships with customers and suppliers and to respond flexibly to changing market conditions.

In 1994 the group acquired the Romiley Board Mill in Romiley, Cheshire, which was a key supplier of unlined chipboard to the laminating operation in Preston. The integration of the Preston and Romiley businesses created a more efficient and capable manufacturing and distribution group, providing greater control over the supply chain and enhancing service levels to customers.

Review of the business

During the year the group continued its principal activity of manufacturing, processing and supplying board and packaging products to customers throughout the United Kingdom and Europe.

The directors monitor several key performance indicators, with particular emphasis on turnover and gross profit margin, as these measures provide a clear indication of market demand, pricing conditions and operational performance.

The 2025 financial year was challenging for the UK paper and board sector. Significant material oversupply across European markets resulted in increased imports into the UK, creating sustained downward pressure on domestic selling prices. These conditions persisted throughout the year and affected margins across many product categories.

The group responded to these market pressures through a combination of commercial and operational measures, including selective price reductions, cost-saving initiatives, careful inventory management and ongoing efficiency improvements. Despite the difficult trading environment, the group continued to invest in its operations, including additional machinery and a new automated storage facility designed to improve productivity, increase capacity, broaden the product range and support diversification into new customer sectors.

Management has remained focused on long-term growth and, subsequent to the year end, secured new business opportunities in additional markets while continuing to support the requirements of its established customer base.

Turnover increased by 6.3% to £40,533,000, reflecting increased production volumes and sales activity during the year. Gross margin decreased to 23.7% (2024: 25.6%) as the group was unable to recover all input cost increases through selling prices in the prevailing competitive market environment.

The group continues to monitor costs closely, rationalise its cost base and secure fixed-price arrangements where commercially appropriate. The price and availability of raw materials and energy remain significant factors affecting the industry. Market prices fluctuated considerably during the year, and continuing uncertainty within the paper import market contributed further to price reductions.

As a result of the factors described above, profit after taxation for the year was £1,438,000 (2024: £2,353,000). While profitability was lower than the previous year, the directors consider the result to be resilient in the context of the challenging market conditions experienced across the sector.

Principal risks and uncertainties

European trade risk

Management believes that the availability and pricing of board materials represent one of the group’s principal commercial risks. European board mills have continued to increase sales volumes into the UK market, resulting in heightened competition and downward pressure on domestic board prices. The group mitigates this risk through careful production planning, active stock management, diversification of supply sources and ongoing review of market conditions, including adjustment of board mill output where appropriate.

Energy price risk

Energy costs remain a material component of the group’s manufacturing cost base. Wholesale gas prices declined during the year from approximately 120 pence per therm at the start of the year to below 80 pence per therm by the year end. The group has reduced its exposure to future price volatility through forward purchasing arrangements for a proportion of its energy requirements. Although energy markets remain subject to external influences, the extreme price spikes experienced in earlier years have moderated.

Legislative and regulatory risk

The directors continue to monitor developments in legislation and regulation that may affect the group’s operations. Particular attention is given to environmental regulation, greenhouse gas emissions reporting requirements, waste management obligations and the UK’s transition towards Net Zero. Compliance with these requirements may require further investment in plant, processes and reporting systems, and the potential operational and financial implications are considered regularly as part of the group’s strategic planning process.

Foreign currency risk

Although the group operates solely within the United Kingdom, it purchases and sells certain goods and services denominated in currencies other than sterling. Consequently, movements in exchange rates can affect the sterling value of purchases, revenues, financial assets, liabilities and cash flows.

The group’s exposure arises from transactional sales and purchases in foreign currencies. It is the group’s policy not to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts, and exposures are managed through operational controls and regular monitoring of currency movements.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is managed through careful control of cash generation, working capital and debtor collections. Cash flow forecasts are reviewed regularly, and cash collection targets are monitored closely. The group’s funding is provided through group resources, and the business is not reliant on external bank borrowing for its ongoing operations.

Price risk

The group is exposed to changes in market prices for board, paper and related raw materials. It does not enter into swap, option or other derivative financial instruments, and no trading in derivative financial instruments was undertaken during the year.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)

Development and performance

During the year the group continued to invest in its board recycling activities in order to improve operational capability and support expansion into new markets. Recycling and value-added processing remain important strategic areas for the business, both commercially and environmentally. The directors believe that these investments strengthen the group’s long-term competitive position and provide opportunities for future growth across all divisions.

Future developments

Marblegrange Limited continues to analyse market trends and customer requirements in order to identify additional growth opportunities and diversify its customer base. As part of this strategy, the group is in the process of opening a third operational unit. This investment is expected to increase capacity, broaden geographical coverage, improve customer service capability and support further expansion into new markets and product sectors.

The directors remain focused on developing sustainable long-term growth through investment in people, facilities, technology and operational efficiency.

Promoting sucess of the group

This statement describes how the directors have had regard to the matters set out in section 172(1)(a) to (f) of the Companies Act 2006 in carrying out their duties during the financial year ended 31 December 2025.

The directors consider that they have acted in good faith and in a manner most likely to promote the success of the group for the benefit of its members as a whole, while having regard to the interests of employees, customers, suppliers, the community and the environment.

The principal stakeholders of the group are its employees, customers, suppliers and the local communities in which it operates. The board recognises that maintaining strong relationships with these groups is fundamental to the long-term success of the business.

Strategic objectives and long-term growth plans are monitored regularly through departmental and board reviews covering health, safety, quality and environmental matters (HSQE), financial performance, operations, human resources and principal risks and opportunities. These reviews support informed decision-making and ensure that operational activities remain aligned with the group’s strategic priorities.

HSQE considerations are central to the management of the business. The group is committed to maintaining safe working practices, protecting the health and wellbeing of employees and contractors, and minimising the environmental impact of its operations. The directors regard these matters as essential both to business performance and to maintaining the trust of stakeholders.

MARBLEGRANGE LIMITED
STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- 4 -

The governance of Marblegrange Limited, its subsidiary undertakings and associated businesses is founded on principles of openness, fairness and trust in all dealings with employees, customers and suppliers. This approach is reflected in the long service of many employees and managers and in the longstanding commercial relationships maintained across the business.

Employee engagement remains a priority for the board. Employees are kept informed through meetings, newsletters and written and verbal communications, and their views are considered through consultation processes and working groups where appropriate. The group’s policy is to consult employees on matters affecting them and to comply with all relevant employment legislation and procedures.

Customer service continues to be a key differentiator for the business. Through the efforts of management and employees, the group seeks continuously to improve the quality of its products, responsiveness and technical support, with the objective of creating long-term value for customers and other stakeholders.

The group maintains constructive relationships with suppliers and seeks to deal with them fairly and responsibly. Credit arrangements are managed carefully, and robust debtor management procedures are maintained to protect cash flow and reduce exposure to bad debts.

The directors have overall responsibility for setting the group’s strategy, promoting its values and maintaining appropriate standards of governance. Their primary objective is to achieve the long-term sustainable success of the business and to generate value for shareholders while balancing the interests of all stakeholders.

During the forthcoming financial year, the board will continue to review and enhance its engagement with employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders and will continue to challenge the effectiveness of those arrangements as part of its commitment to continuous improvement.

Equality and diversity

The group has an equal opportunities policy and is committed to ensuring that all employees and stakeholders are treated fairly and with respect, regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. Employment decisions are based on merit, qualifications and business needs, and the group aims to provide an inclusive working environment in which individuals can develop and contribute fully to the success of the business.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- 7 -

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

United Kingdom company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the directors have elected to prepare the group and parent company 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 group and parent company, and of the profit or loss of the group for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

- state whether applicable U nited K ingdom 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 group and parent company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the group’s and parent company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and parent 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 group and parent company, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

MARBLEGRANGE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF MARBLEGRANGE LIMITED
- 8 -
Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Marblegrange Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the group statement of comprehensive income, the group balance sheet, the company balance sheet, the group statement of changes in equity, the company statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including material 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 group's and the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of profits 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 group and parent 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 ethical responsibilities in accordance with those 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 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 group's and parent 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.

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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

- T he information given in the strategic report and the directors' r eport 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 group and the parent company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identifie d material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' r eport.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

- the parent company 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 directors' r esponsibilities s tatement, 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. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's and parent 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 group or parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor 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.

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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:

- Enquiries with management about any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;

- Enquires with management about any known or suspected instances of fraud;

- Auditing the risk of fraud in revenue by testing a sample of transactions throughout the year, to ensure they have been recorded within the accounts;

- Examination of journal entries and other adjustments to test for appropriateness and identify any instances of management override of controls; and

- Review of legal and professional expenditure to identify any evidence of ongoing litigation or enquiries.

MARBLEGRANGE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF MARBLEGRANGE LIMITED
- 10 -

Because of the field in which the client operates we identified that employment law, health and safety legislation and compliance with the UK Companies Act are the area s most likely to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). For instance, the further removed non-compliance is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the auditor is to become aware of it or to recognise the non-compliance.

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

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the parent 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 parent 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 parent company and the parent company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £'000.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to deemed cost. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements for parent company information presented within the consolidated financial statements:

- Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’: Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and disclosures;

- Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instrument Issues: Interest income/expense and net gains/losses for financial instruments not measured at fair value; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income;

- Section 26 ‘Share based Payment’: Share-based payment expense charged to profit or loss, reconciliation of opening and closing number and weighted average exercise price of share options, how the fair value of options granted was measured, measurement and carrying amount of liabilities for cash-settled share-based payments, explanation of modifications to arrangements;

- Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’: Compensation for key management personnel.

1.2
Basis of consolidation

The consolidated group financial statements consist of the financial statements of the parent company Marblegrange Limited together with all entities controlled by the parent company (its subsidiaries).

All financial statements are made up to 31 December 2025. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the g roup.

All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

1.3
Going concern

The directors have considered the impact of the principal risks and uncertainties on the business going forward. A t the time of approving the financial statements, t he directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and group ha ve adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus t he directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.4
Turnover

Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer (usually on dispatch of the goods), the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

1.5
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or deemed cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or deemed cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land and buildings
2% straight line
Leasehold land and buildings
2% straight line
Plant and equipment
2 years - 27 years straight line
Computer equipment
33% reducing balance
Motor vehicles
2 years - 7 years straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the profit and loss account.

An amount equal to the excess of the annual depreciation charge on the revalued assets over the notional historical cost depreciation charge on those assets is transferred annual from the revaluation reserve to the profit and loss reserve.

1.6
Fixed asset investments

In the separate accounts of the company, interests in subsidiaries are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversal of impairment losses are recognised immediately in the profit and loss.

1.7
Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting period end date, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

MARBLEGRANGE LIMITED

Accounting policies

- 18 -

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in or , unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

1.8
Stocks

Stocks are stated at the selling price less the expected sales margin.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.

1.9
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10
Financial instruments

The group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the group's balance sheet when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and 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 debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest m ethod 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the group transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future paymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.11
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the group.

1.12
Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

MARBLEGRANGE LIMITED
NOTES TO THE GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 20 -
Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

1.13
Employee benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.14
Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.15
Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the lease d asset are consumed.

1.16
Government compensation

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset receive d or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

1.17
Foreign exchange

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the group’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements
Useful economic life of tangible fixed assets

The useful economic life of tangible fixed assets is judged at the point of purchase and reviewed at each balance sheet date. Further details are provided within note 1.5 to the financial statements. Freehold land is not depreciated.

Until 31 December 1999 the policy of the company was to revalue freehold properties. At 31 December 1999, the Group adopted the transitional provisions of FRS 15 'Tangible Fixed Assets', whereby previous valuations were retained and not updated. It is now the company policy not to revalue fixed assets.
