| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| The Furniture Recycling Group Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 08087441 and it is registered at Greenbank Works, Gladstone Street, Blackburn, BB1 3ES. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements and trading performance |
| The year to 31 December 2024 was one of both growth and operational challenge. The company achieved a 15% increase in revenue, rising to £9 million, reflecting growing demand for responsible mattress disposal and sustainable product recovery. |
| During the year, the company undertook a number of site relocations and improvements to better support future growth. Unfortunately, in April 2024, one of the operating sites was destroyed in a fire, which temporarily affected capacity and resulted in reduced profit levels. However, the business demonstrated strong resilience, underpinned by a committed workforce, strong balance sheet and support from our customers and shareholders. Recovery was swift, and operations returned to normal by the third quarter, allowing the company to end 2024 strongly, with positive momentum continuing into 2025. |
| The directors believe there is significant potential to further increase the UK's rate of mattress recycling, both through organic growth and strategic partnerships. Investment in site infrastructure and capacity is planned, alongside initiatives to improve operational efficiency. |
| Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
| The financial statements contain information about The Furniture Recycling Group Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents the amount derived from the provision of goods and services, and is stated after trade discounts, other sales taxes and net of VAT. Sales are recognised when the company considers that it has fulfilled its obligations to the customer which in respect of the sale of goods is on despatch. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Plant and machinery etc | - |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical invoice cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for operation by the company. |
| Investments in subsidiaries |
| Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined from purchase invoice cost and reported on a first in first out basis. |
| Net realisable value is the price at which stocks can be sold in the normal course of business after allowing for the cost of realisation and, where appropriate, the cost of conversion from their existing state to a finished condition. |
| Provision is made where necessary for obsolete, slow-moving and defective stocks. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year 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. |
| 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 year 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. |
| Research and development |
| Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
| 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. |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| 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. |
