Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have reviewed the consolidated net current liability position of £4,246k (2023: £3,897k) and the net liability position of £2,199k (2023: £1,681k) and have concluded that, in the context of the overall size of the group and its position within the wider NSF group, the net current liability position is not a cause for concern given the continuous improving trends in the markets in which the company and its group operate and the continued access to funding.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
