STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD 28 FEBRUARY 2022 TO 26 FEBRUARY 2023

The directors present their strategic report for the period 28 February 2022 to 26 February 2023.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
Futon Limited's principal activity is that of manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers of modern styles of bedding and furniture.

The results for the year and financial position of the company are as shown in the annexed accounts. The key financial highlights are as follows:

52 weeks ended 52 weeks ended 53 weeks ended
26 Feb 2023 27 Feb 2022 28 Feb 2021
£'000 £'000 £'000

Gross profit 8,902 9,051 7,366
Profit before tax 1,522 2,861 2,242
Dividends paid (629) (1,689) (369)
Retained profit for period 603 629 1,417
Shareholders funds 4,193 3,590 2,961

The year under review was negatively impacted by excessive freight costs which have now returned to normal levels. Two new stores were opened in the year and are trading in line with expectations.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
There are a number of potential risks and uncertainties which could have a material impact on the company's long term performance.

The Board and management team consider the risk implications of all significant business decisions and risks are re-assessed on a regular basis to ensure that any changes in the company's operations, or the external environment, are identified and appropriately managed. The key risks affecting the business are as follows:

Operating Risk - The company's reputation and continued success depends on its ability to provide products to customers safely, efficiently and cost effectively. The company operates under industry standard quality control systems supported by third party testing to ensure that production standards are maintained. Appropriate staff training is undertaken in key areas such as customer care, health and safety and production processes.

Market Risk - The company operates in a specialised market and seeks to maintain a competitive advantage by offering an appropriate product range and providing a high level of customer service from professional and dedicated staff. The company keeps abreast of developments in the market by maintaining good relationships with both its suppliers and customers, together with awareness of current trends in interior design.

Personnel Risk - The company is a privately owned business and places great emphasis on recruiting and training high quality competent staff. The directors consider succession planning issues on a regular basis.

Financial Risk - As a privately owned company, Futon Limited is principally funded from retained profits and is reliant on converting these profits into cash. Financial monitoring, forecasting and planning are continuous processes, with particular emphasis on balancing the maintenance of the gross profit margin with the delivery of a high quality service to customers, combined with carefully managing stock levels. Trading uncertainty from market conditions can always impact the company's financial position and thereby its profitability which in turn impacts the company's cashflow.


FUTON LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01848362)

STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD 28 FEBRUARY 2022 TO 26 FEBRUARY 2023

GOING CONCERN

For this reason, the company continues to adopt the going concern basis.

DISCLOSURES IN THE REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
The financial instrument disclosure has been included within the report of the directors.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The company's principal financial instruments comprise bank balances and trade creditors. The main purpose of these instruments are to raise funds for the company's operations and to finance the company's operations.

Due to the nature of the financial instruments used by the company there is no exposure to price risk. The company's approach to managing other risks applicable to the financial instruments concerned is shown below.

Trade creditors liquidity risk is managed by ensuring that sufficient funds are available to meet liabilities as they fall due in conjunction with working closely with suppliers to ensure the company maintains adequate stock levels.

DIRECTORS' QUALIFYING THIRD PARTY INDEMNITY PROVISION
The company has granted an indemnity to its directors against liability in respect of proceedings brought by third parties, subject to the conditions set out in the Companies Act 2006. Such a qualifying third party indemnity provision remains in force as at the date of approving the director's report.

FUTON LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01848362)

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE PERIOD 28 FEBRUARY 2022 TO 26 FEBRUARY 2023

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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;
- 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.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
The auditors, d&t, are deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:



P J Willis - Secretary


22 November 2023

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
FUTON LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Futon Limited (the 'company') for the period ended 26 February 2023 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, 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 26 February 2023 and of its profit for the period 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 Auditors' 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 directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors 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 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 the audit:
- the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
FUTON LIMITED


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
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 Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

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

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
FUTON LIMITED


Auditors' 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 a Report of the Auditors 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:

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, and determined that the most significant frameworks which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements are those that relate to the reporting framework and the Companies Act 2006 and the relevant tax compliance regulations in the UK.

- We understood how Futon Limited is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management, Internal Audit, those responsible for legal and compliance procedures and the company Directors. We corroborated our enquiries through our review of board minutes and papers provided by the Company.

- We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to material misstatements, including how fraud might occur by meeting with management from various parts of the business to understand where it considered there was a susceptibility to fraud. We also considered performance targets and their propensity to influence efforts made by management to manage earnings. We considered the programmes and controls that the Company has established to address risks identified, or that otherwise prevent, deter and detect fraud, and how senior management monitors those programmes and controls. Where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk. These procedures included testing manual journals and were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud and error.

- Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved journal entry testing, with a focus on large or unusual transactions based on our understanding of the business, and focused testing, as referred to in the key audit matters section above. In addition, we completed procedures to conclude on the compliance of the disclosures in the Annual Report and Accounts with the requirements of the relevant accounting standards.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
FUTON LIMITED


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 a Report of the Auditors 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD 28 FEBRUARY 2022 TO 26 FEBRUARY 2023

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Futon Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

TURNOVER
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Income is recognised upon despatch of goods to the customer.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Short leasehold - 10% straight line basis
Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line basis
Motor vehicles - 25% straight line basis

STOCKS
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Cost of manufactured goods represents materials, direct labour and attributable production overheads. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less any further costs expected to be incurred to completion.

TAXATION
Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE PERIOD 28 FEBRUARY 2022 TO 26 FEBRUARY 2023

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
DEFERRED TAX
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

HIRE PURCHASE AND LEASING COMMITMENTS
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

PENSION COSTS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

LEASE RENEWALS
It is the company's policy that any stamp duty that is incurred when entering into new or the renewal of leases are not capitalised. The expense is allocated to the profit and loss account when the costs are incurred.

DILAPIDATION COSTS
It is the company's policy to provide where appropriate for dilapidations in respect of leasehold premises occupied by the company. In respect of properties currently occupied, a specific provision has been made based upon the length of the lease, the square footage of the premises that the company occupies, and historically agreed dilapidation costs.

3. TURNOVER

The turnover and profit before taxation are attributable to the one principal activity of the company.

The directors consider that a geographical analysis of turnover would be seriously prejudicial to the company's interest in terms of commercial sensitivity, and as such have not included a split of geographical turnover.
