Its strategy is focussed on building a group capable of offering cybersecurity solutions in the US and beyond.

The Company's registered number is 11701224.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted and applied in the preparation of these interim Group Financial statements are set out below.

These have been consistently applied to all the periods presented unless otherwise stated:

Basis of accounting

These interim financial statements of Narf Industries plc (the "Group") have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards ("UK-adopted IAS") applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.

The interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on the basis of the accounting policies as set out in the Group's audited annual financial statements and are presented in US Dollars the presentational and functional currency of the Group. The Group has applied IAS 34 in the preparation of these interim financial statements.

The interim financial statements have been prepared to reflect the acquisition of Narf Industries LLC and Narf Industries PR LLC via a reverse takeover on 15 March 2022, which resulted in the Company becoming the ultimate holding company of the Group. The prior year interim numbers have been restated to reflect the treatment as a reverse takeover whereas previously the numbers had been reported under the acquisition method.

This announcement was approved and authorised by the Board of directors on 24 January 2024. Copies of this interim report can be found on the Company's website at https://narfgroup.com/investor-relations/corporate-documents.

These condensed interim financial statements for the twelve months ended 31 December 2023 are unaudited and do not constitute fully prepared statutory accounts. The comparative figures for the year ended 31 December 2022 are extracted from the 2022 consolidated financial statements of the Company. The independent auditor's report on the 2022 financial statements disclaimed opinion due to the inability to gain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence in respect of a number of areas and accordingly those numbers are stated as being unaudited.

Going concern

Any consideration of the foreseeable future involves making a judgement, at a particular point in time, about future events which are inherently uncertain. The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts covering the period to 31 December 2024 and those forecasts indicate that the Group will have sufficient cash resources to meet all foreseeable liabilities through to a period which is at least twelve months after the issue of these condensed interim financial statements.

Accordingly, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to achieve the above in order to meet any future obligations and thus to continue operating for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the interim financial statements.  

Basis of consolidation

The Financial Statements consolidate the financial information of the Company and companies controlled by the Group (its subsidiaries) at each reporting date following the acquisition in March 2022.

Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity, has the rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The results of subsidiaries acquired or sold are included in the financial information from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the results of acquired subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Group. All intra-Group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. The financial statements of all Group companies are adjusted, where necessary, to ensure the use of consistent accounting policies.

The Financial Statements consolidate the financial information of the Company and companies controlled by the Group (its subsidiaries) at each reporting date. For commentary on how the acquisitions of Narf Industries US LLC and Narf Industries PR LLC, which falls outside the scope of IFRS 3, was accounted for, see note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for the year to 31 December 2022.

3.    EARNINGS per Share

The basic earnings per share is based on the loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period. The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the Company the year ended 31 December 2023 assumes that all shares have been included in the computation based on the weighted average number of days since issue. Since the Group has made a loss in the current and the prior period, the warrants in issue are not dilutive.

5.    Post period end events

There were no significant events subsequent to the balance sheet date which have any bearing on these interim financial statements.
