The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2026.

The principal activities of the company continue to be that of the manufacture and supply of polyurethanes, their derivatives and other polymeric products for a wide range of industries including sports and safety surfacing, manufacturing, infrastructure, oil and gas, counter-terrorism, security and heavy industrial applications.

The company is committed to expanding its market presence and diversifying its product portfolio. This strategic growth is driven by the company's renowned global expertise in material science innovation. By developing and manufacturing cutting edge products with a low carbon footprint for international markets. The company addresses environmental challenges and fosters sustainability. Through the reduction of carbon emissions and the minimization of resource consumption throughout its processes, the company makes a substantial positive impact on the environment.

The main headline numbers in respect of the year ended 31 March 2026 are shown below. The directors are satisfied with the results for the year.

Competition and threat to market share is a key risk to the company. The risk is alleviated by continuing to develop quality products at competitive prices and reacting efficiently to customers' requirements.

The company is partly financed by bank loans, overdraft and invoice discounting facilities, so is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. Cash flow is carefully managed to minimise the risk and the level of the facilities used.

Using both internal expertise and external consultants the company continually invests in research and development into new products and processes. The company will continue to invest in research and development that has a suitable return.

The company recognises the importance of its environmental responsibilities and attempts to minimise its impact on the environment, including safe disposal of waste, recycling and reducing energy consumption.

It is the company's policy to ensure that suppliers are aware of the company's terms of payment, and that these terms are agreed at the commencement of business with each supplier. Payments are made in accordance with the payment terms and conditions agreed.

The company strives to lead the market through innovation, quality and by building strong relationships with customers. Through its continued investment in innovation and the development of new low carbon products it aims to drive sustainable growth and enhance its competitive edge in the industry. The company is committed to improving efficiency and reducing carbon emissions across all its operations, ensuring the achievement of its sustainability goals and strengthening its reputation as a market leader.

The company operates in challenging and competitive global markets, however the prospects for the year to 31 March 2027 are encouraging.

There have been no events since the balance sheet date that materially affect the company.

On behalf of the board

The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026.

The results for the year are set out on page 9.

Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £121,039. The directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend.

The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

B M Howarth Ltd were appointed as auditor to the company and in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

The company has followed the 2019 HM Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines. The company has also used the GHG Reporting Protocol - Corporate Standard and have used the 2020 UK Government's Conversion Factors for Company Reporting.

The chosen intensity measurement ratio is total gross emissions in metric tonnes CO2e per Revenue (£m), the recommended ratio for the sector.

During the reporting period, the company continued to identify and implement opportunities to improve energy efficiency across its manufacturing operations. As part of these efforts, preventative maintenance of production machinery and plant equipment was undertaken to ensure efficient operation, minimise energy losses and maintain optimal performance.

The company continued to optimise production scheduling and machine utilisation to reduce unnecessary running time, idle periods and start-up/shutdown cycles. Where technically and financially feasible, older equipment has been replaced with more energy-efficient alternatives to improve operational efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Energy efficiency improvements also included the ongoing upgrade of facility lighting to LED technology, together with the implementation of lighting controls to minimise unnecessary electricity usage. Employee awareness of energy-saving practices has continued to be promoted through training and operational procedures, encouraging efficient use of equipment and resources throughout the business.

Manufacturing processes are regularly reviewed to identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption while maintaining product quality and production output. Energy usage is monitored and benchmarked against production volumes (kWh per unit produced) to support performance monitoring and identify further opportunities for improvement. The company also continues to focus on reducing waste and production scrap, thereby reducing the energy required to manufacture replacement products.

The company is currently developing a formal Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework and intends to establish measurable ESG targets to support the monitoring and continuous improvement of energy efficiency, resource consumption, waste reduction and broader sustainability objectives. Progress against these targets will be reviewed periodically by management to ensure continued alignment with the company's operational and strategic objectives.

The company will continue to review opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce its environmental impact in future reporting periods.

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual 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 then apply them consistently;

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

The company has chosen in accordance with Companies Act 2006, s. 414C(11) to set out in the company's strategic report information required by Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, Sch. 7 to be contained in the directors' report.

So far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditor is unaware. Additionally, the directors individually have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information.

We have audited the financial statements of Rosehill Polymers Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2026 which comprise the statement of income and retained earnings, the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements, including 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 31 March 2026 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's 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 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.

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:

• 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.

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, 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.

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, 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 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 to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

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.

Based on our understanding of the company and the sector in which it operates, our audit work considers the risk of material misstatement on the financial statements as a result of non-compliance with laws and regulations, this includes fraud. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, those that relate to the form and content of the financial statements, such as the Company accounting policies, the financial reporting framework and the UK Companies Act 2006.

We evaluated management incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements and determined that the principal risks related to potential posting of inappropriate journal entries and management bias in accounting estimates, as well as inappropriate revenue cut-off. Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to:

• Agreement of the financial statements disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;

• Identifying and testing journal entries to ensure they are appropriate;

• Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;

• Challenging assumptions, accounting estimates and judgements made by Directors;

• Sample testing of revenue to ensure revenue has been recognised in the correct period.

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion.

There are inherent limitations in audit procedures, the further removed non compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.

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 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.

The statement of income and retained earnings has been prepared on the basis that all operations are continuing operations.

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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except the revaluation model used for freehold properties. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

This 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 available.

Rosehill Polymers Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of the immediate parent Rosehill Polymers Group Limited and the results of Rosehill Polymers Limited are included in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent company Rosehill Polymers Group Holdings Ltd which are available from the registered office.

Atruet the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services 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.

Turnover is recognised when the goods are physically despatched.

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of businesses over the fair value of net assets acquired. It is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is considered to have a finite useful life and is amortised on a systematic basis over its expected life, which is 3 years.

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

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

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

Freehold land and assets under construction are not depreciated.

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 credited or charged to profit or loss.

Investments 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 reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.

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

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement 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 company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

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.

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

Assets held under hire purchase contracts are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the statement of financial position as a hire purchase obligation. Hire purchase payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The interest is charged to the income statement so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Rentals payable under operating leases, are charged to income on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

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.
