“The results of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024 show turnover of £5,293,999 (2023: £5,264,747). The Company generated a profit after taxation for the year of £1,680,989 (2023: loss after taxation of £2,498,490). Shareholders' deficit at the end of the year amounted to £6,917,460 (2023: deficit of £8,598,449). The Company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Company should be able to operate on its own account for the foreseeable future. During the year, GS Acquisitionco, Inc. has committed to continue to provide financial support in order to facilitate the ongoing activities of the Company, for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Considering the factors mentioned above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have sufficient financial resources available to it to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Directors have concluded it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
