Our other main activity is the manufacture and supply of chemical sealants and related chemicals used to eliminate porosity in metal castings, generally destined for the automotive industry. Being a true global supplier, we have been able to follow the manufacturing trend of automotive companies and their suppliers and thus continue to be in the supply chain wherever manufacturing takes place.

In addition to this, we have a division whose activity is the manufacture and supply of chemical sealants for structural waterproofing in the construction industry.

The principal activity of the parent Company is to operate as a holding company for the Group.

The Audit Committee is chaired by Anthony Hay and its other members are David Miller, Peter Hay and Victor Bellanti.

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee is chaired by Anthony Hay and its other members are David Miller, Peter Hay and Victor Bellanti. The Remuneration Committee reviews and determines the remuneration package of the Executive Directors of the Group Board. This includes the determination of targets for any performance related pay schemes, or other share option schemes operated by the Group. The remuneration policy set by the Remuneration Committee is designed to deliver the Group's objective of increasing shareholder value by attracting and retaining the most capable and committed people. In doing so the Committee reserves the right to seek professional advice from external consultants as it sees fit.

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and International Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and interpretations (collectively IFRS), as adopted by the European Union. .

Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and the Company and of the profit or loss for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the Directors are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
• make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
• state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
• prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and Company will continue in business.

The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
