Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

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

Principal activity

The principal activity of the company is the manufacture of precision plastic components and the provision of associated services for customers across the medical, pharmaceutical, lens, automotive and electronics industries.

Fair review of the business

The Directors announce a profit before tax for the year of £122k (2024 - loss of £215k). The comparative period was impacted by the write down of an investment of £858k.

Revenue decreased to £8.5m (2024 - £9.4m), primarily reflecting lower production volumes following a reduction in demand from the pharmaceutical sector, partially offset by a more favourable product mix within the lighting sector. As a result, the gross profit margin reduced to 30.1% (2024: 31.3%).

Administrative costs have increased marginally on the prior year to £2.8m (2024 - £2.6m) driven by indirect wage costs and lease charges.

The company continues to invest in its facilities and production capabilities in order to grow its customer base, as well as maintaining its demonstrable track record for meeting quality requirements.

Further expansion of the facility is planned, supported by grant funding awarded to the company as part of its carbon reduction programme.

The Company has plans for expansion, subject, to new commercial discussions in new markets.

The company's key financial and other performance indicators during the year were as follows:

The Directors have maintained, and continue to maintain a strict review of all employees of all costs within their influence whilst ensuring the highest level of service delivery.

The Board believe that it is dealing positively with the principal risks and uncertainties of the business as outlined above.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities 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 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.

 

Polymermedics Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Polymermedics Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Polymermedics Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise 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 31 December 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.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is 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.

Opinion on other matter 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.

 

Polymermedics Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Polymermedics Limited

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page 6, 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.

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 extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
The objectives of our audit, in respect to fraud, are: to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses; and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the company and management.

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company at the planning stage of the audit. Firstly, the company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation (including related company legislation) and taxation legislation and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. Secondly, the company is subject to other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation or the loss of the company’s licence to operate. In making this assessment we determined that the most significant elements of legislation include, employment laws and regulations, health and safety legislation and quality control including traceability.

 

Polymermedics Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Polymermedics Limited

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud (continued)
Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved the following:

• Enquiries of management regarding their knowledge of any non compliance with laws and regulations that could affect the financial statements. As part of these enquiries we also discussed with management whether there have been any known instances, allegations or suspicions of fraud;
• Considering the filings made at Companies House, and any omissions thereon; and
• Discussing with management compliance with legislation in the year, including reviewing their risk register and health and safety legislation evaluation register.

We also evaluated the risk of fraud through management override of controls, focusing on the risk of manipulation of revenue and risk of fraudulent financial reporting. Our audit procedures in this area included:

• Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale for significant transactions outside the normal course of business.
• Reviewed estimates and judgements made in the accounts for any indication of bias and challenged assumptions used by management in making the estimates.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements. 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 omissions, collusion, forgery, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are also less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements.

We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

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.

Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the company.

Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are outlined within this note.

Changes to FRS102 in future periods

The Financial Reporting Council has published changes to FRS 102 which will take effect in next year's financial statements. The main rule changes are to revenue and leases.

There is no requirement to restate figures from previous years, so we do not expect and changes to the figures we report here for the year to 31 December 2025 or any earlier periods.

The main impact on figures for the year to December 2026 is that our operating leases will be brought onto the balance sheet - increasing both Tangible Fixed Assets and Lease Liabilities from 1 January 2026 onwards. Payments on these leases after 1 January 2026 will be classified as depreciation or interest payable.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year Ended 31 December 2025

Going concern

At the balance sheet date the company had net current assets of £6,226,030 (2024 - £5,847,828).

Management have assessed a number of factors in respect of the appropriateness of the going concern assertion, and in particular the current economic climate with regards to inflationary pressures on raw material and energy costs, and uncertainty created through tariff increases in the US. The company is currently in negotiations with its core customer with regards to pricing, and forecasts have been prepared which support the ability of the company to meet its obligations as and when they fall due. Management will continue to monitor these forecasts in light of the uncertain economic environment.

After due consideration of these factors the Directors are satisfied that the company will be able to operate within their available facilities and continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future – being a period no less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Turnover represents amounts chargeable, net of value added tax and applicable trade discounts, in respect of the sale of goods and services to customers.

Turnover generated from the core activity of the company is recognised at the point of dispatch to customers.

Interest received is recognised on an accruals basis.

Exceptional items

Exceptional items are transactions that fall outside the ordinary activities of the Company and are therefore presented separately.

Research and development

In the research phase of an internal project it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future economic benefits and hence all expenditure on research shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Intangible assets are recognised from the development phase of a project if and only if certain criteria are met in order to demonstrate the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured. The capitalised development costs are subsequently amortised in line with the intangible asset amortisation policy separately disclosed.

If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only.

 

Polymermedics Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year Ended 31 December 2025

Tax

The tax expense for the period comprises of current tax and deferred 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.

Current tax is recognised in respect of the amount of corporation tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the current or past reporting periods 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 income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

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. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate on the date when the fair value is re-measured.

Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Intangible assets

Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition.

Development costs incurred on an individual project are capitalised when its future recoverability can reasonably be regarded as assured. Any expenditure carried forward is amortised in line with the expected future sales of the related project.

Amortisation

The amortisation of development costs is recognised in profit and loss within cost of sales as follows:

Asset class

Amortisation method and rate

Development costs

5 - 10 years straight line

 

Polymermedics Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year Ended 31 December 2025

Tangible assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Depreciation

Depreciation, which is recognised in the financial statements within cost of sales, is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Freehold land

Nil

Freehold property

7 - 15 years straight line

Plant and machinery

3 - 10 years straight line

Motor vehicles

3 years straight line

Fixtures and fittings

3 - 10 years straight line

Investments

Investments are carried at cost less impairment

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.

Lease payments on arrangements classified as operating leases are recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.

 

Polymermedics Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year Ended 31 December 2025

Defined contribution pension obligation

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.

If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment. Contributions not paid at the balance sheet date are recognised in creditors.

Financial instruments

Classification
The company 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 company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with 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.

 Recognition and measurement
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, loans due from group companies 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 method 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.

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and loans from third parties including bank 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 receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

 Impairment
Financial assets 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.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In applying the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following areas are where the Directors have applied judgement in the preparation of the financial statements:

Depreciation and useful economic lives of assets (note 14)
Given the operation of the company the accounting estimates surrounding depreciation of equipment and other assets is a significant area of judgement. Management are constantly investing in equipment in order to remain cutting edge, as well as incurring cost in maintaining equipment at a high level of working order. Management review the assets held by the company and whether the useful economic lives of those assets remain appropriate in the context of developments in the marketplace.

At the balance sheet date the carrying value of tangible fixed assets is £1,754,180 (2024 - £1,784,829)

Recoverability of inter company loan balances (note 17)
Management have considered the carrying value of loans due from related parties at the balance sheet date, with balances in the year being contra settled between debtors and creditors.

No factors have been identified through their assessment that an impairment of this loan balance would be necessary at the balance sheet date.

At the balance sheet date the amounts due from related parties due were £1,683,056 (2024 - £6,502,935).

On 1 April 2023 there was an increase in the main rate of corporation tax to 25%, with the rate prior to that date being 19%. Consequently there has been an increase in the applicable tax rate to 25% (2024 – 25%), being the average rate for the year.

Deferred tax continues to be recognised at 25% on the basis that this is the tax rate on which these timing differences are expected to reverse.
